pEMocRAT1c JACKSON ASSOCIATION.


Last night being the regular meeting night of
the Democratic Jackson Association q reporter Of
the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN sailed forth, armed
with pencil and paper, for the purpose of giving
to the world the proceedings Of the Dem. Jack.
Asses. Cropping about in the darkness, he
at last discovered the beacon light placed upon
the outer walls Of the castle Of Democracy to
guide Alright the D. ]. AS. Upon closer inspec-
tion the said light proved to be one Of the trans
parencies which was to have been used in the
celebration Of an overwhelming Democratic vic
tory in Ohio last fall, but wasn't on account of
circumstances over which the Dem. Jackson
Asses had no control One pale, sickly light
fickered within the transparency, throwing
gloom upon the surroundings ominously sug-
gestfve Of q funeral pail. Entering q dimly
lighted hall, and ascending rickety stairway,

wooden chairs gave the appearance Of q grave
yard. A deathlike stiffness prevailed, the very
silence itself making the atmosphere heavy and
oppressive. With shndder the reporter ven
lured 70 ask If there was any one present, when,
IKE doleful sound proceeding from the tomb,

upon the reportorial head stood upon end. Again
he Ventured the question as 10 when the ]. ID.

Eight o'clock, sharp As 1t was then $50 and

Proper Fire Insurance.

The first question that always ought to suggest
itself to the minds of those possessing real estate
or personal property is how to obtain proper fire
insurance thereon without loss of time. The
more Ieliable the reputation of a company is the
more worthy is 1t Of receiving their patronage.
When the fact is taken into consideration that
we have staunch companies in our midst, who
make speciality of insuring at lowest equitable
rates, and guaranteeing prompt payment of
losses, IL Is certainly evident that such home In
situations are most deserving Of business. As
such the Arlington Fire Insurance Company for
the District of Columbia certainly takes the lead.
by directors and officers of our best citizens and
occupying their own handsome building at No.
1905 Pennsylvania avenue, north of the United
States Treasury, their continually increasing
business Is the best evidence Of their popularity.

forth that she has been a resident of this Dis
trict for more than twelve years, and that she
was lawfully married to James D. Bradley June l,
1854, by Rev. P. +. Mccarthy at the time pastor
of st. Patrick's church; that at the time Of the
marriage she was widow, with three children
PENDANT was n clerk in a Government Depart
ment, and continued to be until five years ago;
that while clerk he gave portion Of his salary
TO complainant, but not more than was sufficient
TO meet the additional expense caused by his con-
nection with the family; that she has chiefly sup
ported herself and children by the rents &C
prior to her marriage to her sister, Mrs.
Ann Holland and her heirs in trust for the use of
complainant and her children; that the defendant
left the employ of the Government in 1870 and
since that time has wholly failed to contribute TO
the support Of the family, but, on the contrary,

did so by reason Of threats. That in 1874 the de-

uPPERNAS VS.. UPPERMAN.
In the case Of Rachel gpperman, praying for
divorce from Thomas H. Upperman, the Court
made a decree in conformity with the petition,
with permission TO resume her maiden name, Ra-
chel Dodson, and custody Of the children. The
petition shows that the parties were married in
this city on October 2, 1867; that they had two
children, one of whom is now living; that they
sided IN this city until January, 1874. The bust
ness Of the respondent was that Of patent agent,
and in 1872 and 1873 he became very neglectful,
seeking personal pleasure, thus subjecting his
family TO the barest necessities Of life and appro
priating to HIS own use moneys received from eli
1nts for the payment of fees 10 the Patent Once.
CHS led TO charges being preferred against him
resulting in Judgment forbidding him to prac-
tice before the Patent Ofice in any case. On the
9Th Of January, 1874, he left this city for Cincin
natl, where he found employment, and wholly de-
serted and abandoned the complainant. leaving
her and their child unprovided for except for the
sale Of some little household furniture. Since
that time he has contributed nothing to the petit
toners support or that Of her child, who was
compelled 10 return to her father and depend
upon him. In April, 1874, she secured employ
ment in o Government Department, and since
then has provided for herself and child.
