FUNNY DIVORCE CASE. Washington
probably has as many curious phases of
the divorce of husband and wife as any
city in the country. Every day brings
something new. The last is in some.
what notable family we see together
daily, apparently in harmony. They
consist Of husband, wife and two little
babies, who lived together at the home
| of the husbands parents until the wife's
certificate of divorce came along some
weeks ago, from Indiana, grounds,
"incompatibility of temper,') and
thereupon the wife packed up her
trunks, gathered up one of the children
and moved over to the home of her own
parents, who are well-to-do people. Ga
1t was all very pleasant-the ex-
husband, with his one-half of the
progeny, politely accompanied the ex-
wife and her division of offspring. and
had her baggage slowed away in; her
new home after little family chat all
round the table the male division with
drew with his baby. At the door, Eta
ia, come and see me when you can"
quoth she. 81 will, my dear you
! must come around and see us when you
can," quoth he. The babies were kissed
by the several parties in interest. and
the ex.husband and his half Of the
nuptial issue went of cheerily home
ward. And SO they kept it up; daily
visits. The wife was born in this city,
and never has been dozen miles away
from it. Neither Of the parties has
ever seen the Hoosier State. But an
Indiana court decreed them divorced.

is unfavorable, until the one OF last re-

CnARIfY2 BREARFAsTs IN PHILADKL-
'pH4A.-There is in Philadelphia 4
charitable organization called the "Sun!
day Morning Breakfast Association. =
which in = cheerful and quite novel
way, has been doing good deal Of good
the past winter. Every Sunday morn
ing its members have assembled at the
association rooms and spread a bounti-
full breakfast, free to all deserving per.
sons who choose to take advantage Of
their hospitality, and ata meeting Of
the society on Monday evening it was
stated that in all 10000 persons had
been fed in this manner. The cost of
this charity was less than 81 500, though
40, 800 rolls, !. 975 pounds of meat. $40
pounds of coffee, 496 pounds OF sugar,
and $40 quarts Of milk were consumed
ct tho breakfasts. OF this labor OF
love Bishop Simpson said that when he
heard the report of what had been done
he thought the lonves must have been
multiplied almost miraculously. @

The Bliss of Ignorance.

Where ignorance is bliss, tbs folly
to be WISE" The trouble with the
present generation is that it wants to
know too much. It is prying into
everything. Not only is 1t searching
into the past and destroying many
beautiful fabrics that have long been
cherished, but it is peerihg into Che fu
ture and discovering all sorts OF un.
pleasant things that ere in store for; us
there, Now. most people may stand
nearly anything that can be done with
the past, but they dislike to suffer the
ills Of the future before their time.
There is no need Of anticipating
trouble merely for the pleasure Of en-
'joying it beforehand. Some sort OF
law should be made to prevent scien.
titic men from picking out the evil sc.
crets of futurity to terrify us with
them now. Just as we have passed
through such q cold winter, a scientist
named Ritter comes forward and an.
nounoes that in zoe, 900 years from now
the sun will give out thirteen per cent.
less heat than it does at present. Now
this is encouraging intelligence for all
who have to buy their tirewood and
coal. Another scientific busybody has
discovered that in the short space Of
800, 900 years there will be no fuel OF
any kind ON the face Of the earth. OF
course the direct outcome Of this will
be to make coal dealers put up their
prices another notch, and perhaps make
some Of them hang on to stock on
hand until the scarcity arrives. Still,
although this intelligence cannot help
but have depressing effect on the peo-
pie. it teaches one great and important
truth to those who have control OF our
household fires, VIZ, save the fuel.
Every husband who has either to saw
and split his own wood or carry the
coal from the cellar, will indorse this
advice. He should cut this out and
present it to his wife. Copies suitable
for framing can be had ON application,

MEMPHIS, June 28.-Last night
w. F. A. johnson outraged Lizzie
Sherwood, eleven years old, and
fed across the river to Arkansas.
Sergeant of Police Kinholz went
over this morning and arrested
Johnson, not, however, until he dis
abled him by shooting him in the
thigh. The girl was outraged in
the most shocking manner, and lies in
critical condition. Fearing a dem
onstration against johnson the Chief
of Police, had him removed from the
station house to the county Jail.
John Porter, who aided his escape
by rowing him across the river, is
under arrest.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June 28.-The Ju,
dicial Appropriation bill was placed
in the Presidents hands this after
noon. In accordance with the usual
custom the bill will not be sent to
the Acknowledgement for his judg-
ment, but there seems to be no
doubt that it will receive the Pres
ident's approval, Notwithstanding it
is not altogether free from Objec-
tions.
The bill for the payment of
United States Marshals, etc., will
be vetoed on the grounds stated in
the late message for Withholding
his signature from the bill
mahing appropriations for certain
judicial expenses, namely, that pro-
posed positive enactment which de-
prives the President in effect Of the
ordinary and necessary means of
executing the laws still left on the
statute book and embraced within
his constitutional duty to see that
the laws are enforced. The Presi-
dents veto message will be brief.
He will refer to his former one as
being applicable to the bill as now
passed and which reached him late

PeneIOne nj. WEIGH.

Daughter of James A. and Julia E
Compton, departed this life June 2S:h,
1879, at 8 O'Clock a. m., at the family
residence in Est Knoxville, aged 26
years, 10 months and IA days. Nellie
was the victim of that sweeping de-
stroyer brain fever. She was con-
nected with no particular Church or
ganization; but for several months
previous to her death evinced great
concern about the future state of her
soul. Up to within a short time Of
the hour of final dissolution she could
not speak of heartfelt religion; but
the day before her demise, the Lord
liberated her intellect from the iron
grasp of the great leveler, and gave
her a foretaste of the happiness that
awaited her in the Sweet Beyond.
While her death has deeply saddened
the hearts of a household-yee, q
neighborhood-and rendered parent
less a beautiful daughter of tender
years, yet the gloomy picture has a
silver lining; for her spirit, now lib
Grated from a kingdom teemiug with
misery, is happy in the realms Of per-
feet peace.

real and influencing consumers to

The Old Man of the Sea.

From the New York Tribune (Rep.)
Tilden's still-hent moves slowly
and surely on. The two companion
pieces of information, that he has
recently made $2,O00,OOO, and that
he was never in better health, are
thrust upon the public eye with
never firing persistency. One by
one the impecunious Southern Jour
mails are swinging around in his
favor, and the gains he is making
are so important that the leading
Southern journals which have OPP
posed him with the most bitterness
cry out in anguish for some way to
stop him. Trey think if he could
only be induced to talk there would
be less danger. His silence seal es
them worst Of all, for they declare
that when he is quietest he is work.
ing the hardest. This is undoubt-
edly true. These frequent consulta-
Sions with Smith Weed show that
ne IS uncommonly busy at this time.
It may turn out that he is laboring
earnestly with Weed for the latter's
moral gOod-that he is trying to
make him promise never to deceive
him in the future; but somehow a
skeptical world SCOTS at such an
idea.

this afternoon. The message will
be sent to the House next Monday.
1t can be stated authoritatively
that tht Presidents inclination is to
reconvene Congress by proclama-
ton should they adjourn wi hout
making appropriations for the pay
of Marshals, which he considers as
an important part of the Judiciary,
and whose services are indispenr
sable to the administration of JUS
tice and the enforcement of
the laws. To adjourn
without such appropriation would
leave unperformed part of the bust
ness for which the extra session was
called. OF course it is desired by
the President that provision for pay
of Marshals should be free from OBJ
jections, applicable to the bill just
passed.
The President to day sent to the
Senate the following nominations as
members of the Mississippi River
Commission Benz. Harrison, of
Indiana; James B. Eads, Civil En-
gineer, Missouri; B. Morgan Har-
