worth speaking of to the Golfers Of her
secondhand husband, will the Ex-Judge
be legally liable for any judgment the
late Mrs. S. may have awarded to her
against the present Mrs. S.? Can he be
taken in execution for the tort of his
present wife? If so it will be singular
state of things by which an innocent
third person like the Ex-Judge shall be
punished for being ruthlessfy reduced
from his marital obligations, and made
to pay for falling victim to the wicked

Should so innocent an old cherub as Ex-

though the other be his breast wife,.

ANsCE.LEGAL QUESTION.

When a good man falls from a high
position and sinks under moral weak
ness the public have cause to mourn.
Ex-Judge Seney has until quite recently
been one of the foremost men in Tiffin.
As all good men should have, the Ex-
Judge had a good wife to temper for him
the winds Of adversity-should any over
take him-and to participate in his good
ness. The twain had third party, in
one Anna Walker, who Glove to them or
terms of the most intimate friendship
going with them to social gatherings anc
church meetings, and assimi!ating very
much to Mrs. Seney in her love for Mr.
Seney. This assimilation at last became
80 engrossing and demonstratiye that th'
then wife became in measure dissatis
fed. She thereupon procured a divorce
from the much-loved Ex-Judge, and a
the same time an award in her favor o
500 out of her late Seney's estate, ant
Judge Seney thereupon married Mis-
Anna Walker.
Now comes Mrs. Seney No. ! int
court and asks heavy damages from Mr.:
Seney No, 2 for robbing her of the sym
pathv, care and affection of the Ex
Judge. There are some points in thi

The Misses Thornton have not heretofore
taken part in Washington gayeties be-
cause English etiquette requires that
young ladies shall be presented to the
Queen before they enter general society.
During their recent visit in England Miss
Thornton and. Miss Frances Thornton went

now at liberty to accept social attentions in

The Duchess of Cumberland was assured
an independent annual income on her mar
riage and If the next Folkesthing is more
eomplaisant the King will ask it to give his
daughter dover of 10000 crowns, say
$32, 15O. If the Duke could only get back
his fathers sequestrated estate from Ger

Queen Victoria has written graceful let
ter expressing publicly her heartfelt thanks
for the sympathy shown to her by her SUBJ
Jects in her recent bereavement. Over
whelmed with grief, she says, at the loss of
dear child, who was bright example of
loving tenderness courageous devotion and
self-sacrifice to duty, it is most soothing to
the Queens feelings to see how entirely her
grief is shared by her people.
Mrs. Harriet Levin Grote, the widow of
the historian, has just died at a very ad-
vanced age. She was an excellent and
clever woman, and lively writer. Among
her friends were the most distinguished
people of the time. Not for her own sake
alone, but for her happy suggestion to her
husband to undertake the task OF writing a
history of Greece, should Mrs. Grote's name
be held in honor. She it was that negotia-

The Princess Victoria of Baden, at her
recent confirmation, was required to write
short autobiography and proposed plan of
life. Among other statements the young
Princess advanced the following republican
theory: That princes must not conceive
that they are placed in their high position
because they have greater rights than other
human beings, but that they may maintain
an elevated standard of obligation and set
an example of fidelity to duty to the whole
society of which they are members.
