A Cruel Desertion.

Sampson Dover, alias Henry Levi, is a
midd,e-aged tailor, who has been for the
last year or two living and carrying on
business at IA Hamer street. He is a
New York man, and when he came West
he brought with him a young woman
named Fannie Meyers, one of his en-
ployes there, and leaving his wife and
three hildren behind.
Mrs. Dover few days ago learned by
accident of the Whereabouts OF her hus-
band, and Immediately determined to
follow him to this city, and, if possible,
punish him for his desertion OF herself
and little ones. She arrived in the city
last Friday, and being destitute of money
she took up lodgings at the Third.street
Station-hOuse. She at once made com
plant to the Clerk Of the Police Court
and a warrant for Doyeps arrest was
made out charging him with adultery
and desertion.
The warrant was served by Officer
Murray, who found his man at the place
mentioned, and lodged him in the Ninth
street Station-house. Fannie Meyers
soon after made her appearance at the
Station and claimed that she was Do
ver's lawful vile, and has children b!
him. The man denies this.
The destitute condition of the New
York Mrs. Meyers, coming to the knowl
edge of a gentleman named Winkler,
Sixth street shoedealer, she and her lit
tie ones were kindly taken to his hous
and provided for. The whole party ar
peared in the Police Court this mornin
and the case continued to Friday mex

The Canal Population of England

Some curious and startling facts con-
cerning the people who live upon the
canals in England are given in Mr..
Smiths recent publication entitled "Our
Canal Population" L. appears that ON
the canals aud rivers in England thcre
are not less than 23,4Q0 men, as many
women, and 10000 children; and that
rs, 900 oil these men and women are Living
as husbands and wives in an unmarried
state, and have 10000 illegitimatS chill
dren. Mr.. Smith says Of these boatmen
ana their families: "Ninety-ive per
cent. can not read and write, 80 per
cent. are drunkards, so per cent. are hn-
married but living as husbands and
wives. Many OF the boaters and their
families have but one home, little more
than one bed, and one suit OF clothes,
and these not much better than rags.
Their cabin home is scarcely the size OF
an asn-box, but in this hole men and wO-
men live together, children are born.
and families are educated into vice and
crime."
This Is infinitely worse than
all that could be said about the boat
population Of China.

lence and beauty.
O. This machine is more durable than any
other OF its class, requiring much less outlay
for repairs and renewal Of parts.
8. 1t does the cording or staying Of button
holes in most elegant and substantial man
ner, without the expense Of royalty.

The Cnban Insurgents, commanded
by Cecilio Gonzales, made april ~ q
dash into the western section Of the Cen.
trail Department Of the island and pene-
trated as far as AIacranes, about twenty
miles south of Matanzas. The despatch
states tibet they crossed the Cienaga de-
Zapata, which is a great swamp extending
eastward from the Bay Of La Broa, an in
dentation of the Gulf of Matamano, and is
iutersected by the rivers Negro and
Gonzalo. Alacranes, the point Of attack,
is situated a little south Of the railroad
connecting Guines and La Union, and is ia.
the heart of the richest sugar district in
the island. For some months past the
operations of the insurgents have been
very daring in the vicinity of Cienfuegos,
which city is in a great measure beseiged
by the Cuban forces. The raiding party
evidently belonged to this body, and the
dash made through the sugar district, 80
far to the westward, shows that the insur-
gents are by no means so depressed as the
Spauiards would lead us to believe. The
weapon Of che insurgent is the torch, and
the drought at present prevail lug in Cuba
will assist him very much by preparing
the cane6elds Tor destruction. Considering
