did bring me black silk dress walking suit,
seal skin sacque and muff, but nothing else
from Europe of any value, and his statement
that $500 of his expenses were spent in pres

been true he bought nothing but what we
had great need of not having had anything in

dress he had ever bought for me during all our
married life with the exception of q summer
silk he bought some. five years before, and which
never had been able to have made up.
I had supposed that his charge of drunkenness
treated with the silent contempt which they
deserve, BUTT seems it is necessary to meet
him on every point. That and all other charges
made by him, which have not already been no.

to myself and children drives me to the dis
tasteful necessity of taking notice of that part
of my unhappy marital life touching q
subject which by common consent of
civilized people is expected to be
known only to husband and wife.
The affidavit then proceeds to deny very
positively the disgusting charges made by Mr..
Huddleston relative to the mercenary charac.
ter of his wife. She alleges that his intern
perate habits and brutal conduct was the rea-
son she could not occupy the same room with
him.

An affidavit is presented from Matilda John
son, former servant in the Huddleston
family, stating that she had signed a previous
affidavit prepared by Mr.. Huddleston, which
did not contain what she raid. She then pro-
ceeds to detail the domestic troubles of the
family at great length. Referring to the ale
scene she says:

of the stairs and found it was the little chill
dren who were screaming; they were greatly
scared; his wife looked very pale, and one of
her ear rings was twisted around, and with
much trouble I took it out for her. That night
when his little daughter Mamie went to bed,
she spoke to her father about the way he treat
ed her mother, and said, "Please papa, don't
ever hurt my mamma again" She spoke of it
very often afterwards, and the act seemed to
remain on her mind, SO much so that after

sometimes come to me and ask me to take her
up stairs because her papa was so cross. At
the time he pitched over the table she said to
me, Every papa in town is good but ours"
He was very often quite cross, and on such oc-
casions the little children and all the family
were afraid of him. On one time when Har-
mon had done something to displease his
father his father said to him, ''You may thank

"rHE BOHEMIAN GIRL"

Tho Opening of tho Opera season-Balfes
Romantic Opera Rendered In Good Style
"A Company Of Rare Excellence.
The opera of 1.-THE Bohemian GIRL" a. pre-.
scented at the Opera House, last evening, by tho
Emma Abbott company, attracted very large
and fashionable audience, and, judging by tho
reception accorded it, gave excellent satisfsc-
tisn. The announcement that Mrs. Zelda Sc
gum would not be able to appear. owing to .
severe attack of sickness, caused general regret
in the audience, but rs it was announced that
Miss Pauline Maurel would assume her role,
there WAS soon general acquiescence in the
inevitable. ~s''.s5s
Miss Abbott's Airline is distinctive in many
respects. She infuses more of the emotional
in tho character than any other artistic upon
the lyric boards. On her first appearance she
made very favorable impression by her rem
dering of the ever popular melody, II dreamt
that dwelt in marble halls, which was sung
with fine expression. Miss Abbott was in fine
voice. and lent an additional. charm to the
familiar lines. She received deserved and
sponded. At the beginning Of the third
act she substituted the charming E, song
Of Sullivan, ''Love Me Once Again." for the
aria in the llbretto, to the great delight Of the
audience. In this she displayed q wonderful
facility of expression and tenderness of feeling
that came in good play. without in the least
marring the symmetry of the opera or inter
fering with its continuity. In the succeeding
concerted pieces tho prims donna appeared to
excellent advantage, and won many tokens of
favor. Since her last appearance here Miss
Abbott seems to have gained better son-
troll of her voice, besides being able
to judge her audience with keener
perception, while there is an understandable in.
crease in what might be called the frnity
quality of her tones that we have not before
noticed. ~ -.E5ss D.; s
Mr.. Tom Karl, the Thaddeus of the opera, is
full in every note. He was scarce appreciated
till he sang the song when other lips" ETC.,
at the conclusion of which he was compliment
ed with perfect storm of applause, which
compelled repetition, as did his concluding
effort, the well remembered rhapsody recount
ing his sacrifices for the sake of Poland. The
Count Arnheim of Mr.. VIM. Mcdonald was q
correct and painstaking personation. His voice
is melodious, though in ''The heart bowed
down" he proved somewhat deficient when
compared with others whom we have seen in
the same role.I Miss Maurel sustained the
part of the Gipsey Queen well, considering the
short preparation she had been able to make.
Her figure is commanding, and her presence
oil that could be asked for such character.
The chorus was light. and in this respect the
company might be materially improved.
This evening Gounod's opera of Romeo and
Juliet, never before placed upon the stage in
this city, will be produced, with Miss Abbott
a. Juliet and Mr.. William Castle as Romeo,
the remainder of tho cast being filed by the
best artists in the company. There will no
doubt be crowded house. .. .. :

A Watch Presentation,

The Christmas season appears to have be-
gun in earnest. A GLOBE envoy dropped
into the immense wholesale grocery house of
P. H. Kelly g. Co., yesterday, and was just in
time to witness an informal presentation
made by the head of the house to one of the
partners. MIR. Kelly presented Alfred Du-
frenne with a magnificent gold watch, hunt
ing case and stem wilder. There was no
ceremony or nonsense about the pre-
sentation. Like everything else about that
model establishment, it was done in bust
ness way. Mr.. Kelly stated that it was q
mark of his esteem for the long continued,
answering integrity and fidelity manifested
by Mr.. Dufrenne, and this sentiment any
one familiar with the house can endorse.
Always at his post, courteous and obliging to
every one, Mr.. Dutrenne has become COM
ponent part and essential of the great house.
Mr.. Kelly's liberality was most worthily be-
slowed.
