A WIFE + OR S25.
What Led Charles GOetz of Brock yn
TO Hunt Up his Dead Wife's VIII.

Curious complications have followed
the death of Mrs. Charles Goetz of
Brooklyn, which occurred in 1876. Her
will was recently offered for probate in
the Kings county Surrogate's office.
After Mrs. G0etz's death Charles GOetz
paid Jacob Holm, cabinet-maker,
$50 for his (Hahn's) wife, and, after
employing her as "A housekeeper for a
time, married her Then Hahn had
her arrested for bigamy, and she, pend
ing the proceedings under that charge,
obtained an absolute divorce from
Hahn, although she pleaded that law
yer told her that she was at liberty to
marry Goetz after the latter's bargain
with her husband. She was held to
await the action of the Grand Jury.
After the divorce a second marriage
ceremony was performed between
Goetz and Mrs Hahn by the same
minister who performed the first. Mr..
Goetz's children were after this as
much opposed to their step-mother rs
theyhad been before the legal marriage,
and they threatened to begin proceed
ings to have their mothers estate
divided. This led Mr.. Goetz to hunt
up his dead wife's will, and he recently
resented it for probate.

A Gang Of Noble Lords.


England might consent to be ruled
by nobody, but To be ruled by rake,
whose weaknesses are a constant source
of public scandal, is something which
England in its present temper is no. in
clined to submit to, and the scandals in
high life have been all connected with
the Prince of Wales set. Col. Nalen-
tine Baker, who was cashiered for an
attempted outrage on lady in a rail-
way train, was particular friend of
the Prince of Wales The miserable
sons of the late Duke of Newcastle. one
of whom was indicted for playing the
part of female street-walker, were
his friends Lord Dupplin, who figures
in the Butler divorce case, had a divotcc
case of his own, for which his lady kidd
the foundation while her lord was alb
sent with the Prince Of Wales in India
Lord Anglesey, who has the stain of
Mrs. Wetmores suicide on his record,
was one of the princes set, SO was the
Marquis of Hastings. so was Capt. llar-
board, the aristocratic card-sharper, and
so is every turf swlndler, professional
seducer, and noble blackguard in the
peerage of Great Britain, with a fnw
brilliant additions from the jockey
clubs of Paris and the continent.

Chinese Cruelty.


On the morning of the 25th day of
the fifth moon cd Of july, about i
O'Clock, a large and heavy plank of
wood foated past Hankow; the people
saw that it had most picturesque APP
pearance: fair damsel of 10, well
dressed, was nailed OH the plank SO
that she could move neither her hands
nor feet. Beside her was the head of a
Buddhist priest, attached on the right
hand side Of the plank some cakes and
eatables so fixed that she could bend
her neck and eat them. and ON the left
5000 copper cash, and inscribed below
was: This 5000 cash is provided for
her coffin when she is dead, and n
special inscription was written above
her head, whosoeyer pities her and en-
deavors to save her life they are guilty
of man to WI chong," which means,
eff men save her they are thieves, and
if women save her they are DETAINED. }"
The particulars are that this young
damsel belonged to wealthy family,
and her two brothers are petty Man
darins Who holding certain posts IN
small yam 5 ut place about twenty
miles from Hankow, used this cruel
treatment because she kept criminal
intercourse with the beheaded priest
whose head was on the plank with her.
Some persons report that she is saved,
and others that she is still floating on
