TIONAL SUITS.
Special to the Bait. Gazette.
wAsHIN GToN, Oct. 15.-Suit was filed
to-day in the Supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia by Henry Stanley Wet
more against David ID. Porter, admiral
of the navy. This suit grows out of GER
tain of Wetmore's domestic troubles,
wherein it is charged that the admiral
figures as a disturbing element of prime
Importance. Wetmore's counsel has
| heen for two months preparing the dec
laration in the suit, which covers 40 pages
of closely written cap, and is drawn with
the utmost care so as to leave no loophole
of escape on merely technical grounds.
The declaration, under cover of its nume-
| rous counts, sets forth that at divers
| times, extending from July, 81, 1873, to
February /, 1876, while Wetmore was re-
corder of the board of inspections, Unit
| ed States ravy, the admiral had deducted
from his salary and caused to be paid to
his divorced wife, Kate We MOI e, mo nth
| ly sums aggregate about 81 500. While
the above suit is merely brought on its
| own merits to test the Legality of the ad-
miraps course, it Is only the forerunner
of much more important prosecution in
| "crim. CON-" and as the matter will even
| tually reach the courts, the scandal may
be given now. During the war Wetmore
| was an under officer In the admiraps fleet
and possessed quite handsome wife, to
whom the admiral showed marked at.
tention. 1t is charged that an improper
intimacy was continued for a number OF
years and Wetmore in 1872 filed petit
ton for divorce in the Common Pleas
court of Philadelphia, alleging adultery
against his wife. The case was allowed
to go by default by the defendant and the
decree was issued the same year, no ali
mony or other portion being granted the
wife. Not only before but since that time
the admiral was quite frequent visitor
\ on the lady at her home in Chester and
| before Wetmore left Washington in
great wrath over being repudiated by the
admiral he made no scruples about letting
his friends know that he regarded that
| officer as responsible for his domestic
troubles ana he claims to have plenty OF
documentary evidence to sustain crimi

REAL ESTATE LOOKING Up.-Fror

REAL ESTATE LOOKING UP.-From
various sections there come reports of a
rise in the price of real estate. The Chlca-
go Tribune says in locality in that city
where land sold two months ago for $50
a foot, S175 foot has just been paid, and
reports an increasing inquiry for real es-
tate as means of investment. The Cali
fornia Advertiser also has news of ga de-
cidedly increased inquiry Tor real estate
in San Francisco, chiefly with a view to
city improvements" In New England,
the Mirror of Manchester, New Hamp-
shire, notes a lively demand for farm
property, and adds that more farms have
changed hands in the Granite State
during the past nine months than during
auy other period of the same length for
the past two hundred years. 1t has al
ready been noted that there is great
scarcity of farms for rent in the Eastern
Shore counties of Maryland, as well as
an Improvement in the real estate sales
in the same counties. In the lower valley
of Virginia there is also a perceptible
advance in the prices obtained for land
which is forced ON the market, whilst
those who can are holding their lands
satisfied that bottom figures have been
touched, and that brighter day is dawn

She Saw.

A tacky sort of boy stood in from,
of house on Sprout street yester-
day for a full quarter of an hour
gently rubbing his sore heel against
the fence-pickets and thinking
deeply; but there was a well-coun
terfeited look of alarm on his face
as his vigorous pull at the bell got
the woman of the house on the
doorstep.
What is it" she asked as she
looked this way and that and
danced around.
"Pull down your winders Dol.
yer doors-yard all full of hons I"
be replied as he skipped for the
gate.
She uttered a little scream and
disappeared and for half an hour
that house was as tightly closed as
a postoffice box on the upper tier.
Then the woman cautiously put
her head out, gazed around, grew
holder, finally appeared in the
front yard. She looked about her,
her chin trembling a little, but By
degrees a peculiar look stole over
her face,
"Yes-um-I see :" she snapped
as she Turned to go in. "The boy
saw those tiger-lilies and played" a
game on me. UNI see !"
She never thought of dandelions,

Instead of swallowing your food
in sullen silence, or brooding over
your business, or severely talking
about others, let the conversation
at the table be genial, kind, socia-
bic and cheering. Don't bring any
disagreeable subject to the table in
your conversation, any more than
you would in your dishes. Avoid
scandaliziug people, and never be
guilty of cherishing a jubilant feel
ing over the iDfirmites of others.
The more good company you have
at your table the better. Hence

that intelligent visitors can be any

Hobbies.
Union Record.l

Enterprlslng men make great
deal of money sometimes by strad-
ding some hobby and riding on it
into prominence and public favor.
One half of the world is engaged
in humbugging the other half, and
while doing SO making large sums
of money out of the credulous
dupes of their wi.es. All man
has to do is to invent some cheap
machine, of general utility, discov-
er some new remedy for diseases
or promulgate some popular theory
of universal acceptation and make
great outcry of it, and there will
always be enough men Of such a
turn of mind as TO take hold of
snch things, because they are new,
and respond that sit is the very
thing the world has been wanting
for centuries" Shrewd men often
take advantage of that feature in
the human mind and turn it to
profit.
In this way M. M. Pomeroy, one
of the smartest Yankees in chris
tendon, is making money Oft of
the unenlightened and poor classes
Of the American people, in his USE
less and senseless agitation of the
greenback question. He knows
full well that the people are de-
handing reform Legislation, as well
as a change in the governmental
policy on the currency question
and the banking system, and that
the Democratic party is directing
all it's efforts to accomplish these
generally desired results, yet he
has agitated these questions SO
persistently as to make it a hobby,
and Is trying to create such an ex-
element upon the subject as to
make the people believe that there
is real issue in it, when in truth
there is none. The only issue that
there is, is this, viz: Shall the old
Democratic party be disintegrated
and broken up aud establish Green
back clubs in it's stead Pomeroy
would say yes; and why? Because
there is millions in it, for him at
least.
Let us see what he makes by this
agitation. He has the largest pub
fishing house in G hicago, with all
the appliances for manufacturing
cheap greenback trash in pamphlet
form, maps and charts, envelopes.
letter heads, business cards, bill
heads aud circulars, all classed
under the one head of greenback
printing and christened with the
name of Greenback. He has a
large banner for sale, printed in
colors, ~ by At inches, which is
the ensign under which the Green
back party sis marching to vic
tory" price one dollar, and every
club is urged to send for one. He
has no less than ten small books
which all new members of the
party are urged to send for, with
prices ranging from ten cents to
one dollar. He has also a paper
which he calls good as gold, pub
lished once week, for one dollar
Il year, devoted, Of course, to "the
building up the brethren in the
most holy fiith" on the greenback
question. and to building up Brick
Pomeroy's pile of greenbacks in
particular, and, above all, he has
the Democrat, which he uses as his
big gun in arousing the sleeping
mourners, for the paltry sum of
two dollars and fifty cents a year.
And he is the chairman of the
National Greenback Club Organi-
cation Committee - name enough
to kill any man if there was mt SO
much money in it.
