| he Secret Iudue

1t Is said that Martin Battles, who, 20
years ago, murdered man through
jealousy in Chautauqua county, New
York, has lately become insane through
remorse, imagining that the ghost Of his
victim continually follows him. His es-
cape from punishment was curious. He
was tried, convicted, and sentenced to
death During the previous year the
Legislature had passed Il law defining
the degrees Of murder, and declaring
that the penalty for murder in the first
degree should be imprisonment in a state
penitentiary for one year, after which,
upon a warrant issued by the governor,
the convicted person should be taken out
and executed. Under this statute Bat
Ties was sentenced and incarcerated at
Auburn. During his imprisonment the
Court II Appeals declared the statute
under which he was convicted unconstitu-
tlOnal, and he was released.

Too Much Style and No Grub

A distinguished divine, who occasion
ally breaches ut Windsor, and dimes and
sleeps there afterward, said the other
day that the dinner was a remarkable
unsatisfactory affair to a hungry mar. II
Is not considered etiquette to coutinue
eating OF any particular course after the
queen has partaken Of it to her satisfac-
ton, and, as her majesty eats very
little the courses are hurried over AZ
ter dinner there is hardly time to take
even one glass of wine before coffee i
brought in. The queen does not put her
cup on the table, but sips little AS the
servant holds it on the salyer Then
her majesty rises, and Of course the
guests all rise and stand back from the
table. The queen then makes the round
OF the room, stopping to talk for few
minutes to to amy one Of the guests
whom she may delight to honor, ana
then goes out, leaving the guests TO
amuse themselves It's they like for the
evening"

The following telegram from New
fork appears in q recent issue OF The
Washington Cd. CO. Post: In connec-
ton with the Posts late biography Of
Governor Seymour and the statement
contained therein that he received on
frequent occasions the warmest ex-
pr~essions OF gratitude and appreciation
from President Lincoln and his Cabi-
net. a curious piece of political histo-
nv has been made public. In 1864.
when Lincoln supposed it was not inn
possible that Judge Chase would de-
feat him for the Republican nominal
ton, he looked about for . patriotic
and popular Democrat for whom the
whole strength Of the Administration
could, in an emergency, be brown
Mr.. Lincoln not only distrusted Judge
Chase's fidelity to what he considered
cardinal principles, but his Judgment
as well, and was known to have ex-
pressed to a number of personal friends
the gravest apprehension In the OF
his being placed in the Executive chair.
Mr.. Lincoln. therefore, wrote to Mr..
Seymour, who has it 10Y in his pos
session, q long letter in which the
proposition was made and urged upon
him with great force and logic that he
should become q candidate for the
Presidency on as high a party
plane as possible. so that he could
receive the support Of such Re-
publicans as considered the suc-
cess of the Union cause paramount
in importance to the schemes OF
mere political tricksters or Southern
haters. This solicitation Of Mr.. Lin
coins was joined in by Secretary STAN
ton. and, as may be readily inferred,
the reasons given for selecting him
were of the most complimentary char
acter. Mr.. Seymour received the sug-
gesfions with his usual modesty, but
declined in q most peremptory manner
to consider it. urgi.ig that his duty to
the people Of the State Of New York
required him to serve out his term As
Governor, and precluded his seeking or
permitting other honors to be imposed
upon him. To Mr.. Seymour's answer
Mr.. Lincoln replied in a second letter,
urring that the craftsmanship then re-
quired demanded . higher duty than
party consideration Of State pride, and
reiterated the confidence Of the people
in MI. Seymour's honesty, loyalty and
fair dealing to all classes and interests.
Mr.. Seymour was proof against all
these solicitations, and il was upon his
innexiblc refusal to become a candidate
that Mr.. Lincoln addressed himself TO
the task Of securing the denomination
Of his W party and defeating Mr..
Chase's ambition. There are gentle
men in this city to whom. under the
seal Of confidence. Mr.. Seymour has
shown these two letters. and it Is sup
posed that they will only be given e
the public when his "reminiscences Of
the war period. which it is understood
he is leisurely compiling, shall be pub
lishnd.

A prepossessing and elegantly alfred
Young lady called at police headguar-
tiers YESTERDAY in search Of her sister,

appeared from her home in Philadelphia
afcw weeks ago. She had IN her pos
session a letter to the effect that her sis
ter had died under an assumed name J m

The records, ut her request, were
searched. and the returns from the fif-
teenth precinct contained the informa-
ton that on Monday last Margaret Ma
lima. TWENTY-FIVE years Of age, had died

No. ia Bleecker Street. The young
woman from Philadelphia, who was al
most heart-broken with grief, proceeded
10 the Morgue, whittier the body OF the
dead Girl had been taken. There she
identified and claimed the remains, p
after procuring the necessary papers
from the health authorities LETT for her
home. The story Of the dead girls lie
4 n strange one, variously tinged with
romance. sorrow and disgrace.
Deceased was the daughter Of a Phila-
delphia merchant, and was well known
among the elite Of that city. At the age
Of sixteen, being then remarkably pref
t.. she attracted the fancy Of the leading
member Of 4 brokerage firm. Tier par

also the young mans. Despite the par

but the fugitives could not be found
Private detectives were engaged, but
their attempts TO discover the where
abouts Of the pair also proved Ruthless
Two weeks after their departure they
returned TO their native city and pro-
claimed themselves man and wife. The
young man exhibited a marriage certif-
cate, and rs the matter had gone 70 far
the parents, fearing a scandal, decided
TO accept the inevitable.
The young couple lived happily to-
gether until about three weeks age, when
the young wife discovered that her hus-
band was paying considerable attention
TO q young woman Of doubtful charac-
ter. She upbraidcd him for his con-
duct, and the result Of the dispute was
that he informed her that her marriage
was "bogus." She went In search OF
the clergyman who performed the cere-
m0ny and ascertained that she had been
imposed upon. Shocked at her dis
grace she refused TO return To her home,
friends or children, and In a fit Of mel
ancholy came on TO this city. Fearing
that she would be traced she engaged
board for herself and a female acquaint-
ance at the hotel where she died. While
suffering from dependency she resorted
to the wine cup. Imbibing too freely
of strong liquor, her weak frame gave
way, and she was stricken down with
| congestion Of the brain. After a da.
or two's sickness she died, and her
| friend turned the body over to the au-
thorities and then disappeared. The
real name Of the unfortunate woman
was not disclosed, and her relatives
have decided to allow the remains to be
buried this morning under the alias she
bore when she died.-N. y. Cor. Buffalo
