A CASE FOR SOLOMON.

Bernard Lynch was arrested In New YORK
the other day charged with having aban-
doned his wife and two children, one q them u IN
at the breast. Mrs. Lynch testified tna u nc
would not give her anything TO support ng l.
self and babies. Mr.. Lynch retorted that ne
had been locked out five nights in succession,
and, despairing of peace at home, had chosen
another place to lay his weary frame ana
wrestle with his daily and nocturnal hash'
The injured man expressed q Willingness TO
contribute to the maintenance OF his FAMILY
If his wife would not expose him in the future
to the unhealthy dews OF heaven and to the
bitter sarcasms of her eloquent tongue.
Whereupon this scene occurred.

Lynch; Il only want you to keep these chill ,

A FEMALE ENOCH ARDEN.
A Woman who has Got Rid Of seven Hus-
bands.

A woman who has got Kt0 Oh seven Hus-
bands.
NEW York, Dec. 17.--The New York
Times has special from Hartford, o.,
which says the town Of Coventry has
brought suit against the town Of Man
chester for the support Of an alleged
pauper named Patti PAMELA Anthony,
and the woman herself has made dep
osition which shows a remarkable Ca
Judge Carpenter, Of Hartford, as arbi-
traitor.
According to her story, she was mar
ried July s, 1886, to VIM. Bly,, offspring
field, who left her three days later. Six
weeks later she heard he was dead, and
on February 4, of the next year, she
married David L. Rogers, of Hadlyme,
Conn. She lived with Rogers six months,
when Bly,, the dead man, appeared, but
was bought up and gave quit claim to
Rogers for silver watch and IS.
About two years after Rogers went to
sea, and six months following his de-
parture Mrs. Rogers heard he had been
hanged as a pirate. Finding single life
ried, In March, 1841, Frederick A.
Wheeler, who now lives In Manchester,
Conn.
Six months after this marriage, Rog-
ers, the hanged pirate, came back, GUST
ed Wheeler, and lived with Pamela till
October, 1849, when he died.
In March, 1850, she married Henry
Myers, Of Williamsburg. New York,
and got divorce in March, 1857, and In
the same year married James Davis and
moved to Wisconsin. She lived with
him several years, and got divorced.
She then married Richard Marshall
somewhere in Ohio. lived with him
seven years, and got another divorce !;
then coming back to Connecticut she
married Emanuel Anthony, of Hart
ford, and lived with him six months,
when he ran away.
This record shows she had seven hus-
bands in all. She was first married
when fourteen years Of age. She says
she is now ffty-six years old. Coventry
sues Manchester for her support, claim
ing her settlement is in Manchester,
where her husband, Wheeler. now lives.
There Rogers marriage is claimed to be
void, as BLY, was still living; but as BLY,
died before Wheeler's marriage, the
latter was legal. Manchester says the
Bly, she married is not Bly,, who Is said
to be dead, but another man; that the
married Bly, was alive when Wheeler's
marriage took place, which makes that
void. 1t is also held that Wheeler's
marriage is Of no effect, under the Con-
necticuJ laws, from the fact that at the
time Wheeler married her, his father
was married to her sister. So he was
not only marrying his mother-in- laws
sister, but also his fathers step-sister,
and 80 on. 1t is very peculiar case.

The Ingenuity Of the Chinese is not
confined to embroidery, ceramics and
decorative art, but extends to internal
revenue. One Of the latest schemes Of
the Celestial statesmen proposes tax
on newborn infants. The sum is ridic-
ulously small-about ten cents-but as
tions of the Celestial Empire. and the
maj ket constantly overstocked, hand
some revenue from this source is conf
IDENTIFY expected. the tax falls due
when the infant enters the world, and
the happy father, with tut delay, steps
down to the captains Office and settles
its passage. Strange as it may seem,
there are no deductions in CAGE ofdouble
entry. This is not in accordance with
natural equity or customs morally. The
tax for twins ought not to exceed fifteen
cents, for small job lots, with the usual
discount to the trade.

Rtsnarck's strategy.
Courier Journal

Bismarck will necessarily have another at
tack of neuralgia after the present battle with
his foes of the official household. He never
failed yet to have his own way, although op-
Nesselrode is reported to be on the verge of
dismissal from the office of Chamberlain, and
the Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm (who
detests the Chancellor,) cannot obstruct the
man of iron in his business of cabinet making
or anything else. When Bismarck gets every
body worked up into fever-heat and creates
dissatisfaction, he tenders his resignation,
which the Emperor will never accept, goes to
Varzin for few weeks rest, with his ear at
the end of a telegraph wire connecting him
with the Chancellors office. and then rushes
back to Berlin to watch Germany and all
Europe with keener vision.

seizure of the st. Clair County Tax Books
[St. Louis Republican


The seizure by disguised men of the st
Clair county tax books on the night of the
14th is an act of violence from which, If not
repaired, the county will suffer most, IT. il
said there were tt!.Sy rroseons engaged in the
outrage 1t was committed Lnen In the pre-
tended interest of the taxpayers, and the
authors of the act evidently assume that their
conduct. will be approved by the community,
ton is correct or not. The purpose of the
seizure, we presume, is to get rid of paying
the taxes levied to meet the interest on the
county's railroad bonds and Judgment there
on; but as all the books were carried off, no
taxes whatever can be collected-not even the
regular county, school and State levies. The
county owes to the State about $4,000 in taxes
for the present year, and the State will not re-
lease it from the obligation. The collector is
responsible to the State Auditor, and If he is
not able to protect himself from such violence
as that which was committed in this seizure,
it will be the duty of the Governor to furnish
him with assistance from other quarters.

An interesting story comes from Ari-
IONA. Kellogg and Carter owned a min
ing claim, and foolishly quarreled
aboutit. Kellogg was a man Of few
words; flight and free was his touch
upon his revolver" With little ado he
fired at his partner, and supposed that
he had bullet into his breast; but be-
hold! Carter was a good young man,
and had q Bible in the pocket of his
gray working shirt. The ball struck
upon the sacred book, its course was
turned, and Carter was unhurt. Then
the good young man whipped out his
cleaning bowie-knife, sprang upon
Kellogg, and carved him so artistically
that his hold on his revolver relaxed
and he was like to die. The good young
man stanched his opponents blood,
and rode away for physician, return
ing within twenty-four hours, having
made total distance of over ninety
miles. Kellogg is recovering. Carter,
to avoid arrest, sought to cross the
river, and this time the Bible didn' t
save him. He was drowned. The
moral of this recital Is very intricate.
But it is plain that Carter wasn't
born to be hanged.
