A Cav "tVidOw" Meets Her Di-
yOrCeI Husband.

About q fortnight since the moral
columns Of the JOurnai contained q
short advertisement signed 'Truth,
purporting to be from young gentle
man who was tired of single misery and
wanted to open up correspondence
with any number OF young ladies with
view to matrimony and mental I'M
proyement. "Truth" received many an
swers to bis advertisement, and doubt
less made many pleasant acquaintance.
We arc informed by gentleman who
processes to know that "Truth Is
young man who, some years since, sur
reptiously wooed, won and welded the
charming daughter of wealthy and
aristocratic North-ender; said daughter,
after season of lunar honey, was in
duced to desert her spouse and return
to the parental roof. After time, by
some process unknown to Indiana law
yers, a decree of divorce was granted.
After series of wanderings, Truth
returned to this city, and obtained en-
plovment as-well it won't do to be too
particular. At any rate he obtained
employment, and inserted his advertise
ment in the high-toned Journal. AS
the story goes, his divorced wife was
one of the birds caught by his chatf,and
she answered his letter getting Il ser
want girl, as a precautionary measure,to
COPY the letter. Truth answered, and
the woman was amazed to recognize the
familiar handwriting of her former hns-
band. Several letters passed, land Truth
pleaded for an interview, which was
granted. One night last week the lady,
accompanied by the servant as sop to
the Cerberus of propriety, met Truth
on the broad walk in front of the Blind
Asylum, and he poured into her car his
tale of love, and begged her to remove
that odious vail. She finally consented
and leading her beneath the light OF
street lamp the obscuring fabric was re-
moved, and he looked down into the
face of his divorced wife. "The dew
H." was the forcible, but not alto
yether appropriate ejaculation of Truth
as he saw the mischievous twinkle Ill
the ladys eyes, and began to realize no"
he had been caught. 1t is said, howev-
er, that he soon recovered his temper,
and in the course of halt-hours prom
enadc adjusted the difference that sepa-
rated them. 1t is furthermore lntima-
TED that the two will soon be married
again-not under the rose, as on the
first occasion, but just as if they meant
it .sfor keeps ."-lndianopvfs Herald.
A SUPPOSED SUICIDE Found LIVING.
The Newark (N. J.) Advertiser states
that on the 9th of December, 1878, Is.
G. Blackwood, respectable citizen OF
WoodSide, \. J., and doing business in
Newark, disappeared from his home in
an excited state of mind. and that his
valise and some of his clothing were, ID
ter on the same day, found on the mar
gin OF Newark bay, near Bayonne. Sus-
picion was at once excited that he had
committed suicide, which was confirmed
by letter found on his clothing written
to his wife, i'll which he said he was not
able to bear his troubles in this life, that
he had gone to the other world, and re-
questing that his body, if found, should
be "buried in the sand away from any
body else" Time rolled round, nothing
was heard from Blackwood, and on the
25th of May, 1874, letters of admlnis:ra-
tion were taken out and his business at
fairs were settled. But about two months
ago Mr.. George 7. Teol, of New Jersey,
brother-in-law of the supposed suicide
while passing along one OF the principal
streets of Baltimore, caught sight OF
man which he felt sure was Blackwood.
He addressed him by name, but Black
wood refused to regonize Teel in return,
and denied that his name was Black
wood, or that he had ever known any
body of that name Finally after much
pressing, Blackwood confessed to his
idenity, and stated that he was engaged
in teaching music under an assumed
name, and was making sufficient for his
subsistence.
