a sprightly young Benedict of so,
who, only four weeks before he poured
out the tale of his wrongs into the I'M
sympathetic ear of a Russian police
magistrate, had welded blushing bride
of IS, appeared the other day in one of
the Odessa District Courts, and passion
ately invoked the Intervention of the
Cars justice in his domestic affairs in
order that peace, harmony, and order
might be restored to his distracted
household. His plant against his
youthful spouse contained several counts,
one more grievious than the other She
would-giddy thine-run about the
streets all day, neglecting her family
duties. Her companion in these fiivo-
lous excursions was daughter of whose
existence no intimation had been con-
veyed to him during the happy pre-
nuptial days of bis courtship and en-
gagement This daughter had been alb
ruptly disclosed to him shortly after his
marriage, and had caused him to infer
that, when he thought he was taking to
his arms virgin septuagenarian, he had
labored under an error brought about
about by willful deception His wife,
moreover, had refused to hand over to
him the sum of 400 rubles, which, ion
the eve of their wedding day, she had
bound herself by solemn adjurations to
contribute next morning to the family
exchequer. Nor could he induce her,
by entreaty, menace, or endearment, to
repay him triAing loan of 40 rubles,
imprudently advanced her for the pur-
chase Of her trosseau. His griefs, in
short, were more than he could bear,
despite the buoyancy OF his youthful
spirits and,s accordingly, he besought
the police authorities either to reduce
bis volatile moiety to order by severe
disciplinary treatment, or to pronounce
some merciful decree by which he
should be ridded of her altogether. It
is painful t. reflect that the hard hearted
magistrate-probably q bachelor-con-
temtuously rejected his piteous appeal,
with the contumelious remark that
''there is no fool like an old fool !"
