A Domestic BrOil.

VIM. Mccarthy, tailor having a
little shop on Plum street, below Fourth,
is an unfortunate wife beater. He has
been in the Work-house twice before
for tnat same offense, and to-day he
again '.joins the innumerable caravan"
that moves to the pale realms of Jim
Morgan's jug. Saturday night Mos
little shop was the scene Of a family
row that rivaled in intensity and fierce
ness the famous fight of the Kilkenny
cats.
The drunken tailor called his wife
most outrageous names in the presence
of his young and good-looking son Joe.
Joe couldn't bear to hear his mother 80
badly abused, and took hand in the
muss by belaboring his degenerate sire,
Then the sire got loose, made for Mrs.
Mccarthy, pitched the poor woman on
the stove, which fell with laundering
crash.
Then the cops stepped in. and both
males were taken to the Station.house
Joe being accused OF assaulting his fath.
er, and Nc. with abusing his family. This
morning His Honor dismissed Joe, OIL
the recommendation oil Prosecutor Cal
lahan, who remarked that "the boy who
would 60 for his father for calling his
mother such foul names, ought not to be
sent up" Nc. took tumble on the old
stereotyped sentence Of "thirty -ffty.'

SpIrituaIistic Fraud.

About three hundred persons assem-.
bled in the Grand Opera-house last night
to witness a spiritual seance, given by
Dr.. Witheford and Mrs. Sanders, the
trance medium OF Boston. The meeting
was opened in the usual style by music.
A committee was chosen, consisting OF
DR.. Delaney, A. e. Burnett and Mart.
Wayman. Objections were Immediate
ly raised to Mr.. Wayman being on the
stage, but the audience clam0ring for
his retention he remained.
He told the Doctor that he was bound
to expose him, and he did SO last even
ing. The first trick attempted was the
old cabinet trick. The medium and mis-
as ssistants objected to Mr.. Wayman and
did not want him to tie the arms and
hands OF Witheford, but, despite this,
Wayman did tie them.
The Doctor then went into the dark
cabinet. The audience was requested
to join in singing "N Nearer, my God, to
| Thee" and SShan we gather at the
riverr but the audience did not seem
to be musically inclined, and the songs
| ceased.
In the meantime the spirits Jailed tc

the spirits did not give their aid.
Forly-siX minutes had gone by, when
The Doctor stepped out OF the cabine,
with his hands free. Mr.. Wayman ex-
planned that the trick ought TO have been
done in ten minutes.
The audience arose and wanted their
money repaid them.
Mr.. Wayman, having exposed the
sprituallstic Aumbuggery, left the
stage.
The crowd became more clamorous
aud Mr.. Miles came on the stage and
told the audience to give the spiritual
| lists fair show. A new committee was
appointed, but meanwhile the doctor
and the ladies disappeared through the
back door, and could not be found. The
show was declared over and the audi.
ence told to call at Mr.. Miles office for
| their money.

The population OF Constantinople,w with
the suburbs, is now estimated at eight
hundred thousand, and the burden of
vessels clearing the port at about four
thousand tons. The Roumelian railroad
connects the city with the northern prov
inces, passing through wonderful y
rich but wretcnedly cultivated country,
and before long there will be moe di-
rect railroad communication with Eu,
rope by line meeting the RuschuK-
Varna Railroad, and crossing the Dan
ube at Gurglevo, tojoin the terminus OF
the Roumanian trunk line. Pera. anks

bids fair to blossom into a pleasant
place for q Christian to dwell in. Two
thirds of it was burnt in 1870, when
three tho"sand houses, including the
British Emba sy, were destroyed. 1t IS

destined to grow up here, under The

Some OF our Wagons have false bot

officers came, they were given full privi-

way they were led to believe. many
times, that we were really innocent.
There is no truth in all tortune-telling.
We said what just came into our minds.

Business got bad, and all my money was
either lost or stolen from the Wagon. 1t

men watched me closely; but managed
