DhOOhLIh, NOV. ~.
To the Editor OF the New York Stsr.
Will you allow one who knows the
facts, and is not afraid to refute mis-
representation, to reply toa paragraph
that appesrd in recent number OF the
Star on the Tilton affair.
First "A reunion between Theodore
Tlton and his wife Is probably all "bosh;"
so far rs she is concerned al the present
time il is. But it is not all "Bosh' that
Mr.. Tilton has and is sedulousiy en-
deavoring to induce Mrs. Tilton to re-
turn to him silently and quietly. Why2
does some one ask. Because che insists
upon some public PREPARATION to be made
by him, and because If she will or can be
made to return to him silently he will
avoid the charge of prejury and still re-
tain the character OF a martyr full OF
sanity forgiveness. discarded wife is
the manner the general press have OF
speaking OF Mrs. Tilton. Yet every per-
son In New York and Brooklyn knows
to the contrary. Mrs. Tilton walked
away from her home four years ago,
when the insane enthusiasm OF Mr.. Til.
ton on the Free Love doctrine had made
that center of outrageous heterogeneous
upon possible happiness or moral decency
when she could no longer cOuntensnCe

fused TO dosc--wheD the ignoring OF such
practiced doctrines Mr.. TIlton and his

That from her long suffering and the

Love and Jealousy.
Baltimore Gazette.


Othello, who killed his wife in fren-
zy of unmerited jealousy, has been held
up the world by the immortal dram stist
as the object of fearful admiration and
pity. Even after he had Dissolved that
he had an innocent, pure and loving wo-
man be says, "for naught did in hate,
but eli in the honor" and sympathy
drops tear over his tragic folly. Some
have thought that this play is over
strained; but the prosalc newspaper OF
yesterday recorded two tales of love and
jealousy and murder and suicide quite as
terrible as the drama of "Othello," ex-
cept that the newspaper reporter tells OF
one and Shakespeare tell Of the other.
So long rs men and women are as they
are; SO long as love and jealousy can stir
up fairies, hates and passions stronger
even than the instructive love OF life, 30
long will such tragedies as these occur.
When a man is ready to die, IN order
that he may glut deadly revenge, no
law can restrain him. The worst that
man can threaten is death, AID death is
what he braves and welcomes. The
other day . man in Montgomery, Ala,
took walk with his sweetheart out in
to the cemetery. Some hours after they
were found both dead she shoot through
the forehead, he through the heart.
Whether they were unhappy and both
desired to die, or whether 1t was sheer
murder followed by suicide, cannot GER
tslnly be known. There appears to have
been no reason, why she should have
consented TO die, and the probability is
that she discarded him and that he then
killed her and himself Such was I'M
doubtedly the case in the Norfolk trag-
edy. There young man VINO had been
engaged to 3 girl was discarded on &C
count OF bis bad habits. She repulsed
the offer OF bis escort ON church, and
accepted the arm of his rivel. There
was nothing IN this, surely, that was
worthy of death; yet who can estimate
the degree of pain, modification Jea-
ousy and rage that might have trenzled
the rejected lover7 He went and got q
pistol and calling at her house while bis
rival was stlll there he called her into
the passage and shot her dead. His
rival rushed upon him and dealt HIM
blow, but he did not resent it. He must
have suffered agony for moment to see
his sweetheart dead at his feet, but 1t
did not last long; he turned the pistol
upon his own breast and sent bull t
through it, but al latest sdvices he was
still living. There is no very evident
moral to be drawn from these tragedies
any more than from that of 'Othello,
but it ought to teach young ladies who
are inclined to coquetry that IN trifing
WITH mems hearts they are playing with
dangerous things.

khrinkage of Corn.

In answer to the question of chow

averaged SOL ounces to the bushel; cobs
weighed IS pounds So ounces, making
the total loss pounds } ounces. The
next box was shelled March 30 follow
ing, and made bushels 9 ounces, or 2sS
pounds s ounces, averaging 90 pounds
s 10 ounces per bushel; the cobs weigh
ed "a pounds and 10 ounces, masking s.
loss OF 80 pounds Is ounces, or i per

have been quite different if the boxes
