Biramv Boti, WAYS.

John II. Bryan, a colored man, was put on
trial IN the Police Court to-day for bigamy.
The Government claimed that Bryan had mar
ried Celia Bryan In Now York city on July IS,
1872, and while married to her did, on March
IL, 1852, In this District, marry Fanny Cook.
The Government put on the stand witnesses
TO support these allegations, and after closing
Mr.. Wells, counsel for the Defense proceeded
10 knock tho bottom out OF the case by PROV
ing by documents and records that Celia
Bryan married man named Ingram, and was
his wife at the time OF her marriage to BRYAN.
That she was not divorced from Ingram until
1878. This, OF course, proved tho lllegality
Of Bfyan's first marriage and exculpated him,
The case was continued 10 give the Govern.
ment time TO ascertain whether the records
produced were correct.

All occupations have been degraded more or

For instance, lawyer may be a shyster, a
a mechanic botch. Each one Of these counter
feits follow an illegitimate course of trade for
the sake OF quick profit, at the expense OF
credulous customers, who expect to get good
work for less than the cost with fair profit

TO the manifest injury OF those too conscien-

occupation is there n larger percentage OF
counterfeits than In mine. great deal OF the
work done is hidden from sight, and neglect
or ignorance at a certain stage cannot be reme-
died except by costly repairs, and endangers
the value OF the whole. The Franklin and

by fire or storm, have shown the folly OF the

An Error Corrected.

To The Editor of The Ereusn0 Critic:
DEAR SIR: My attention having been called
to the fact that a printed letter of Mr.. Ernest
Ingersoll, author of the census report on the
"0yster Industry" has been widely circu-
lated, in which Mr.. Ingersoll makes complaint
that he was not furnished with proofs of his
report, and consequently cannot be held re-
sponsible for errors occurring therein, 1 deem
II but Just TO say that first and second galley
proofs, first and second-page revises, and fire.
quently third-page revises, of every page para
graph, line and word OF this report were sent
Prof. Goode, OF the Smithsonian Institution,
the chief of the Department Of Fishery Statis-
tics OF the Census.
Whether Prof. Goode sent the proofs to Mr..
IngersoL or not, is n matter between those two
gentlemen-a matter over which the Printing
Division Of the Census-offlce could exercise no
control
Prof. Goode might, not unnaturally, feel that
States Fish Commission qualified him to read
the proofs OF a report in that line Of investiga-
ton, for the preparation OF which more than
the time asked for had been allowed (the re-
port contains 256 pages; the first proof-sheets
were sent out July 8, 1881, and the last No
vcmber 16, 1881, giving 131 days time for
proof-readingl, and may, in consequence, moi
have sent the proofs to Mr.. Ingersoll. Respect
ing the typographical errors, OF which Mr.. In
gersoll complains, I would say that careful
examination OF the report fails to reveal more
than about twenty, big or little, of which only
one In the smallest degree affects the mean
ing OF the sentence In which 1t occurs.
Very respectfully, yours,
