A Wife's Shoes.
by THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.

Said Il lady to her husband
As a bit of morning news
~ must have to-day some money.
For want pair of shoes"
" Must have money! said the husbandk
And with accents far from sweet;
You have walked into my purse, marm,
With your pretty little feet,
Quite as far as deem prudent;
And no folly I'll excuse -
III is past my comprehension,
Why you need SO many shoes.
In our early days of wedlock,
You had but two pair year.
And you now have new ones monthly!
will you show the cause my dcar?'
GeS. will" replied his lady,
And may conscience thee direct
To prevent, by future conduct.
Both the cause and the effect
4" In our early days of wedlock,
All my hopes in life were light;
For thy love my heart made happy,
And my footsteps then, were bright!
Ay, so light, that round our cottage.
AS l tripped the morning deWS
Did not lore ray of luStre
Meath the pressure of my shoes;
And so light were then my footsteps
With thy love my heart to cheer
That two pair of shoes were ALL sir,
That needed for year.
But change came DER thy heart sir.
and, with hopes no longer bright
Very heavy grew my footsteps.
Which had been so very light
lid the gery hedUy footsteps
Oythe 1Cife tUhOm yOu abuse.
As she trdUets an her SOTFOtO,
Are destructive 10 her shoes"
By the fact which stood revealed;
AT the feet tCIere shoes had suffered
The repentant husband kneeed:
And he said; "At Tower Hall, love
will all my clothing buy.
For il was because wouldn't
That tear first dimmed your eye"
And I'll make your heart so happy,
And your steps SO light. my dear.
The one pain of shoes shall answer
For my darling all the year.!

A Fool ONCE MORE" For ten years
nay wife was confined to her bed with
such complication of ailments that no
doctor could tell what was the matter or
cure her, and | used up small fortune in
humbug stuff. Six months ago I saw a
U. 5: flag with Hop Bitters OH it. and said
would be fool once more. l tried it. hut
my folly proved to be wisdom. Two bot
ties cured her, she is now as well and
strong as any mans wife, and it cost me
only two dollars. Such folly pays.-H.

THIRD DISTRICT DEMOCRATIC.
The FreepOrt Mystery.
The NTutilated Remains Reported Tho 1. of q Bridgeport Girl.

The NTutilated Remains Reported Those - of a Bridgeport Girl.
 A New York despatch says: ''The body found mutilated in a swamp at Freeport, L. l., in August, has been recognized as that of Miss Minnie Clark, of Bridgeport, Conn.,, who left her home in May last. The facts relating to her disappearance and the cause of her death are in the possession of the officers, but will not be made public until one or more arrests are made"
 The Bridgeport Farmer doubt, the remain being those of Bridgeport lady, and says !: ''On the 26th of August the partially decom- posed remains of woman apparently from 30 to 35 years of age were found in a lonely place at Freeport. The body had been cut in two below the arms, and the two parts were wrapped in old newspapers and clothes. It then believed the girl was victim of malpractice. The statement of the detective that the girl belonged in this city may be true, but the probabilities seem to be the other way- as dIigent inquiry fails to show that any girl of the name of Clark is missing from this city.''

William F. Clark, travelling dentist, was arrested last evening for breach of the peace. He was found on the corner of George and Church streets in an intoxicated condition. He got into an empty horse car intending to stay all night and was taken out by Officer Ahern and brought to the police office. He was in fighting mood and soon after being placed in cell commenced firing a pistol that was not discovered when he was searched. He did no damage, however, and soon after he fired the shots the pistol was taken away from him. He is charged with assaulting the officer that arrested him and will have considerable bill to settle in the City Court this morning

W.R. shsIton,s Trial.

In the City Court yesterday afternoon was farther heard the case against William R. Shelton, charged with seducing Mary liar tenstein and afterward aiding her to procure an abortion. The Hartenstein girl was on the witness stand and testified that she went to Dr." Browns on Chestnut street at the request of the accused, and while she ob- jected he told her that he had all the arrange ments made and that Mrs. Fedeline would go with her. She farther said that she told Mir. Shelton that he had got her into trouble, and he told her not to say anything about it and he would get her out all right. Her evil dence did not differ materially from that pre- viously given, except that she gave more minute circumstances connected with the al- legged seduction.
 Mrs. Kay, of Orange, was on the stand and testified similarly to that when "Dr :" Brown was before the court.
 The court at 4:3O adjourned until this morning at 10 o'clock when the case will be farther heard
