A NEW YORK telegram of Nov. Goth
says the court room was filled when the
suit of George Link against Mrs. Kate
Sprague was called. Link was tutor
for Mrs. Sprague's child Willie, at the
time of the recent troubles at Canonchet
which Senator Conkling figured in, and
sues for $40 for salary and expenses in
carrying out his engagement as tntor
The answer of the defendant to the com
plant sets up that the agreement with
Linck was made in the capacity as a mar
ried woman, and that, therefore, her hus
band is responsible for the debt, and not
her; and that Governor Sprague had full
knowledge of the engagement made with
Linck. In the course of the argument 8
letter was read from Mrs. Sprague tc
Linck to show that she considered him
in her employ; and counsel added proof
that he made his exit from the Sprague
mansion at the end of shot-gu The
Judge took the papers, but reserved hi:
decision.

Lies but memory, welI-a-way
All else nlts past On the wings of the wind.
Where are the ladies fair and high
Marie and Alice and Maud aud May
And merry Madge with the laughing eye
And all the gallantS of yesterday
That found US merry and held US gay?
Under the mold we must look to find
Some; and the others are worn and gray:
All else fits past on the wings of the wind.
