The Chautanqua Association.

When DR.. Vincent, in 1872, visited
the Chanhuqua region, II already
had something OF n name rs Il
henlthfu and attractive resort for
summer tourists, and number
Of hotels were located on its shores.
Thoroughly satisfied with The location
for his proposed Assembly, the arrange
ments were completed, and in July 1874,
the meetings were inaugurated MT Fair
Point. Lasting through two weeks, they
were successful beyond anticipation.
The programe, containing the names OF
many eminent speakers and writer's, at
tracted people who entered heartily in
TO the work, and the novel movement
created Juror in the vicinity. Encour-
aged by the result OF the first meeting,
the National Sunday-school Association
acquired by purchase the eighty acres
comprising Fair Point, and MT once set
on foot many improvements. Among
other appliances for the profitable study
and understanding OF the Bible, DR.. Vim.
cent had suggested n model Palestine
in earth and rock, over which men
could walk, and from which they could
learn moft Of the topography of the
Holy Land in nm hours study than 10y
the use OF any other means. Rev. w.
w. Wythe. M. d., II minister with the
mind OF II scientist, careful investigator
of natural laws took charge of the work
ing out oil this idea, and the result was
Palestine Park, which forms one Of the
peculiar attractions Of Fair Point. This
was supplemented by large model Of
Jerusalem, model Of the Jewish taber-
nacle one-hilth the size OF the original.
model OF m oriental house. and u sec
tional model OF the Great Pyramid OF
Cheops. BY means Of this collection
Of models, and with the aid Of stereo-
scopic views OF scenes in the Holy Land
thrown in magniiied form on an i'm.
mense screen 1T night, the student Of
Bible history is enabled to secure q
more vivid comprehension Of Eastern
life than is attainable without making a
transatlantic voyage 70 the Orient itself

for thorough understanding OF the
life depicted In the Bible, competent
persons who have lived in Palestine
have been present nj each Assembly

the most entertaining and instructive
evenings Of the Assembly have been
those devoted to lectures on the man
ners and customs OF Bible lands, illus
trated by tabeaur viUanb representing
scenes in daily life Of jewellers on what
Christianity calls holy ground.
The Assembly in It's second year was
in all respects fully rs successful as il
enthusiastic protector had desired. On
the day Of visit by President Grant
more than 10000 persons were present,
and the average daily attendance was

Married Life Of a Dukes Daughter.
GallGnanI's Messenger,

A suit for judicial separation which
will excite interest, both from the nat.
ure Of the details and the position OF
the parties, has just been commenced
before the Fourth civil chamber. The
husband il Nj. De Chevries,and the wife
the daughter OF the late Duke do Per.
signy The proceedings were frat in.
stituted by tho wife, but oounter-de-
mana was subsequently put forward by
the husband. M. Lachaud stated the
allegations Of Nine. Do Cherries rs fol.
lows; From the time of the marriage,
which took place three years ago, the
husband commenced To treat her bru.
tally. He told her that she must con-
slider herself fortunate TO have found
him, rs no one else would have mar
ried her. Ho reproached her with the
money her wedding oorbeille had cost
him. He called her "Sale Bonapartisti"
On their wedding tour, Mt Nice and
Monaco, he attempted TO strike her, and
pulled her hair under the pretext Of
playing with her. He was accustomed
to drink mmoderately and one day
when intoxicated, threw her watch and
chain out OF the window of carriage in
which they were driving. lie had on
tered her oedchamber, accompanied
by tho horsepower, and insultod her
grossly. He annoyed her by playing
on the piano day and night. He had
threatened TO bring action for separa-
ton, and drag the namo OF Persigny
In the mire; he accused her OF immo.
rality and set spies to watch her. He
had declared that she deserved to DO
forged, and that his father would rise
in his tomb did he know that he had
contracted such II marriage. He took
friends into her room when she was
half dressed. and he had called medical
men to examine her mental state. On
the other side, M. Maugras supported
the demand Of the husband tor these
reasons: In 1877 during their stay at
Monte Carlo, she refused to allow her
chambermaid TO leave her side day or
night; she appered in public with wo-
men Of questionable reputation; she
created scenes in the hotel in which
they were staying and bit him in the
check; she boosted openly that she had
only married him for his fortune, and
accused him ofdepraved morals. The
court ordered private inquiry into the
allegations Oft parties.

BEAU HICKMAN.
An AnecdOte OF I've Checklist OF Dead
Beats.

1t is related of the famous Beau
Hickman that IN his best days he once
went to tirst-class hotel in Baltimore,
and, after registering his name, said he
wanted the very best the house could
afford for his money. twirlng in his
hand at the same time a quarter OF n
dollar. The clerk saw before him an
elegantly attired gentleman, and, rs
Beau requested, assigned him u hand
some parlor and bedroom. Beau lived
like a fighting cock, ordering wines,
extra dinners and everything palatable,
for week, at the end Of which time the
bill was sent. The amount was some
thing extravagant.
Nothing abashed however, he strolled
into the office ana confronted the clerk.
Look here, sir; there must be some
mistake about this; when | came here
| told you wanted the best you could
afford for my moneys worth. ! had
this quarter then (producing the coinl,
and it's all I've had since" The clerk
waxed angry and high words followed.
"Your fault, sir, your fault" said the
imperturbable Beau. "not mine. You
can kick me out if you like, but I'd
rather 90 alone" Tradition says they
were about to proceed to violent meas
ures when the landlord appeared on the
scene, and, looking ut the name on the
register, recalled the peculiar vagrant
character Of the man before him lthen
just becoming notorious in Washington,
and discovered that he had been
"egregiously sold" The thought
flashed across his mind, IF this joke
gets out / shall be the laughing stock Of
my friends, and never hear the last OF
it," Dcliberating a moment he turned
to Beau and good-naturcdly remarked:
"Wel, Hickman, that's the best ever
had; but can't keep it. III make a
bargain with you. Here, take this ~,
and pay your fare TO Washington beau
quietly pocketed the half eagle), and
now 90 over TO the - house, stay a
week on the same terms that you stayed
here, and I'llgive you dinner every
time you come to Baltimore" aank
you" replied Beau, without cracking a
smile, eve been over there for two
weeks and they sent me here!'
1t is needless 10 add that Beau disap-
peared out Of the front door with an
accelerated motion, and the landlord
never heard the last Of his attempt 70
'get even" with his neighbor.
