The revelation made Of the affairs OF Mr..
Harry Palmer, the colleague OF Mr.. jarrett

enterprises, has been great surprise to that

Robert 3. Hutchings remarked re-
Gently that nothing had surprised him more

disclosures which death made Of the base

wealth were built up. Thousands OF men
who live on Fifth and Madison avenues
while they are here, whose daughters arc
sent to expensive schools, whose sons drive
T-carts, and whose wives figure rs patron

poor, for they have laid no honest and re-
spectacle foundation upon which their chill
dren can build even 4 livelihood. They have
thrown themselves away upon "cat> and
dogs" their resources are represented by
worthless securities, and their great eypecta-
t,ons are mere air. bubbles. Such men have
the greatest confidence in themselves and
their wisdom. They resent any iptimatlon
that they cannot control future events, and
never dream Of the necessity for wardIng

overflow Of the present. The speculative
habit and tendency is SO strong upon them
that all other considerations arc sacrificed to
it; in fact, they refuse to entertain them as
possibilities. Nor can women be charged
with blame in the matter. The most pros
porous households Of to-day, almost the
ONLY ones that are built OH a selid iounda-
ton, are those in which the wife assumes
the interior management. The interests
are identical and the confidence complete.

on uncertainties; they are usually too

in finding another husband, and out OF
spite to her former spouse makes the pres
ent husband supremely happy, ana the
wealth OF the deceased is an immense FACTOR

and it takes man OF more than common
intellect to get ahead Of them.

FIRE SATURDAY.-The alarm OF fire be-
tween and O'Clock Saturday evening was
caused by the burning OF caIdron OF pitch
at BossieuS's stables, on Franklin street
near Eighteenth. The pitch was being pre-
pared to be used upon the roofngof new
building, and, bubbing over, caught atire.
The dense black smoke arising induced the
belief that 4 great contlagration was immi-
nent. The Fire Brigade was promptly on
band, but there was no demand for its ser
vices. A garden-hose attached to O by.
drant did the work. Loss small. It falls
chiefly upon this reporter, who considers
that he was cheated out OF first-class item,

TAKING THEM OUT TO RIDE.

TAKING THEM OUT TO RIDE.
Kingston tN.Y.l Freeman.l
A suit quite out of the ordinary line was
tried at Elenvile not long since, In which
the plaintiff was John Nicholas and the de-
fendant George Blumenaer, and the action
brought for services in taking the defend.
ants handsome daughters out riding. The
parties reside in that delightful region
known as the Drowned Lands. back Of El-
lenvile and are farmers, well-to-do, and
blessed with the comforts OF this life,
among them being fine team OF horses,
which the plaintiff prided himself upon as
being the quickest Of foot, the most hardy
in long chase, and the best for all
kinds OF work in that part OF the
county. On the side OF the defendant
there were two young ladies, handsome,
agreeable, and intelligent, naturally the
bellies OF the place, and sought for by the
Young men as the rarest specimens Of wives
to he found anywhere. Ladies love horses,
and so it was most natural thing that the
plaintiff should ask them 10 ride behind tue
gallant team, which they did several times,
enjoying such rides as only girls with youth
and beauty can enjoy them. This smooth
ness OF the pathway did not continue.
Troublesome obstacles fell in the way Of
their friendship. Whether other suitors
came who were looked upon with more
favor, or whether The defendant was too
strict in the Sunday-nieht orders OF his
household, was not disclosed on the trial,
and therefore is lost to the public; but
cold words came, then hard feelings,
until it eliminated in the plaintiff bring
ing an action in Justices Court, before
\. S. Weller, Esq, a justice of the
peace at Eilenvillc, against the father. aud
demanding 81 for taking the daughters out
riding. The defence was that the services
had been rendered without the request OF
the defendant, and for the sole benefit and
enjoyment Of the plaintiff; also that an Ctlcr
OF 81 had been made to settle the affair by
one OF the young ladies, which lie had re-
fused to take. Counsel was employed on
both sides, and after protracted legal com.
bat, which was waged with that persisten.
cy, vigor Of expression, and eloquence
known TO the ElenyiIle bar, it was left with
the justice, who decided to nonsuit the
plaintiff, thereby establishing legal prece-
dent which boys and girls should know
that taking girls out riding is not that class
OF services for which recovery can be had,
as the monopoly OF the society Of the fair
one for the time is considered full and am-
ple payment.
