The CY,ristiancy Case.

This morning, in the divorce case Of ox-
Senator Isaac p. Christiancy against Lille
NJ. Christiancy, nee Lugenbeel, on motion
of Messrs. Cuppy and Ingersoll, Justice
Wylie granted motion appointing B.
Cowles, of New York city, a commission
to take the testimony of the following per-
sons in behalf of the complainant Y. Swift
Webb, Mrs. Eliza Ahrens, Mrs. Catherine
Clute, Garrett NJ. Clute, William G.
Churchill, Alfred Lents and Mrs. Hewitt
Gale. The object of this testimony is to
contradict that of Miss Mary Chamberlain
and Charles Goodman given in behalf Of the
defendant, and to show that neither OF
them ever resided in that city, where they
swore they did, nor did work for the parties
that they mentioned in their dispositions.

Whenever popular interest in great
moral, political and scientific questions
lags-as it does, in truth, much oftener
than is entirely greeable-some sporting
character, who has won fame with the oar
gun or cue, begins to make all sorts of
charges against some other sporting
character in the same line. The present
ruction is between DIR. Carver and Capt.
Bogardus, who have both, in some mys-
terious way known only to persons famI-
liar with sport, obtained possession of the
proud distinction of being the champion
wing shot of the world. OF course, both
can't be champions and neither seems quite
ready to meet his opponent, although they
are "stumping" each other to come on-the
one being in Europe and the other in this
country-and shoot for the entire owner.
ship of the disputed honor. The general
public would not object to seeing these dis
tinguished persons confined in traps thirty
yards apart and furnished with box o.
bricks apiece to hurl at each other unit
the matter was settled, but doubtless the
slaughter of several hundred inoffensivt
pigeons will be settled upon as the fna
test of this enviable sort Of excellence.

New YorIs's National Guard.

The governor of New York has recently
disbanded number of the military organ
izations of that State, and the adjutant-
general in explaining says the annual ap-
preparations for military purposes cannot
be made to maintain 10000 men efficiently.
Indeed, the acknowledgement says "the
great bulk of the force betrays palpably the
fact of existing on the principle of each
man being his own soldier" Most of the
regiments are military associations rather
than troops; they have civil constitution
and bylaws with which to carry out a
military purpose; they fritter away time,
money and soldierly proclivities in street
parades and excursions; they are often reck-
less of authority and discipline, and, in his
opinion, may prove at some future time un-
comfortably dangerous associations.

The House District Committee.

The House District Committee to-day

not having been notified in time, were not

FOO Smart toLiyc,

A dry goods house advertised for a
smart boy, and they got him. They put
the smart boy behind the counter. The
following is the conversation that passed
between him and his first customer:
Customer (picking up pair of gloves)-
"W hat are these"
Smart boy -"Gloves."
Customey-"Yes, yes; but what do you
ask for them ~
Smart boy 1--WE don't ask for them at

Customer-"You don't understand me-.

Smart boy-"Just above the wrist, l be-

Customer-"But what do you get for

Smart boy-"Mo? don't get nothing

Customer dosing patience What is
the price of these gloves n pair ?"
Smart boy-"Oh, that's yer lay, is it

The smart boy is too smart to exhale his
smartness in dry goods store. He should

Probably Fatally burned.

John b. Warrick, colored man, en-
ployed in the Corcoran Building to attend
to the furnaces, went down into the cellar
this morning as usual to attend to his duties,
when he accidentally tripped and fell for
ward into large pile of red-hot ashes.
Mr.. Warrick's cries of agony brought the
ianitor of the building to the scene, when
he found Warrick lying face downward and
almost covered by the ashes and cinders.
When the unfortunate man was lifted out
Of the ashes it was found that his clothing
was entirely burned from his body, and his
skin was peeling off. The man was re-
moved to the Freedman's Hospital in the
police ambulance as speedily as possible, but
there is little hope that he can survive his
injuries.

Princeton students Indicted.

On Saturday night last about twenty five
members of the freshmen class of Prince
ton College in a body marched through
Princeton, n. j., destroying lamps, unhing-
ing gates and defacing property. The af-
fair was remarkable for the value Of the
lamps which were broken. The town au-
thorities were indignant, and Monday
brought the matter before the Mercer
County grand jury. 1t was Investigated
at length and the names of the offending
parties were secured Tuesday the jury
brought in indictments against twenty
three students, and capiases were at once
issued for their arrest. These will be
served on the college authorities, but the
students themselves will not be taken into
custody. They will be required to plead on
Friday. The charge is malicious mischief
and the penalty can be made very severe.
President McCosh, it is said, endeavored to
secure a reversal of the jury's decision tt
indict, but failed.

the committee room.
John NJ. Wilson, of Cincinnati consul
general TO Panama, Is in the city. John
is "willin'" to "ketoh on" to his old place,
but if there is anything softer lying around
loose, he is ready to tender his valuable
services TO his beloved country. There are
several distinguished Republicans of Pork
opolis who think that the Hon. Mr. Will

The Committee on Ways and Means to.
day agreed to report favorably a bill to
remit the duty paid by the American Com
pany of Revisions OF the New Testament
on 2,100 copies of that work imported for
free distribution among theologians and
other scholars for the purpose Of examina-
tion and criticism. An amendment was
made to the bill confining future importa-
tions Of the work for the purpose set forth
to 1000 copies. Messrs. l.. Burger G..
Wagenfucher and II. Bonn, of Chicago, q
delegation representing the cigar manufac-
turers of the United States, was given n
hearing on the subject Of reducing the tax
on cigars from SO to S5 per 1000.
This morning rumor gained some cur.
rency that measuring of official swords
was ensuing between the Hon. Frank His
cock and other Half-breed members from
the East and certain Ohio Stalwarts, led
by Speaker Keifer, over the displacing of
| Mr.. Leonard, of Ohio, as reading clerk OF
| the House and tho induction of Mr.. Ken
yon, New York Half-breed. Mr., Leonard
has been the reading clerk of the Ohio
| Legislature for several years, and is said to
have acquitted himself admirably. He
took a cold few days ago, which disabled
him for while. Mr.. Hscock recon-
mended that his friend Mr.. Kenyon be
placed in the position until he recovered.
Clerk Mcpherson called Mr.. Kenyon to
the place, where he has acted since. Mr..
Leonard has recovered This voice and is
ready to enter upon the duties of Reading
Clerk, but Mr.. Mcpherson does not seem
inclined to request Mr.. Kenyon to give
way and return to the newspaper room
Some of the Ohio members desire Mr.
Leonard replaced. 1t is said Mr.. McPher-
son wishes to please Mr.. Hiscock and hi
friends by keeping Mr., Kenyon, and so the
matter stands. A CRITIC reporter to-day
asked Speaker Keifer what he thought o
the matter. He said he was in favor Of
retaining Mr.. Leonard, but he did not an
ticipate any trouble over the place, in an!
event. He disclaimed any knowledge o
the affair taking the shape of q quarre
between him and Mr.. Hiscock.

Auo,bcr piyorcc Grented.

Justice Wylie to-day granted Amelia
Tucker divorce from John w. Tucker, and
the custody of the children. The parties
to this suit were married in this city
August 8, 1867, by Rev. George Henning,
and two children have been the fruits of
the marriage. She charges him with drink
ing to excess, and at the time of the birth
of the first child he abandoned her and left
her in distress-without means to procure
food or medicine. Six months after this
desertion he returned, and repeatedly
abused her and treated her with great
violence. In July, 1879, while on drunken
spree, he took and sold the cooking-stove
and all furniture that he could carry away.
During that month he left her and has not
returned since, and has provided her with
no support for the past five years.

More Robbcries.
Some time during last night the grocery
store of A. w. Lowe, No. 1921 NJ street,
was entered by burglars, WHO forced an en-
trance by boring through the back door and
removing the bar. They bored into the
door of the safe and charged it with pow
der, but insufliciently, as the explosion
failed to blow the safe open or to iniure the
lock, although the door was considerably
damaged The thieves carried away moth
ing except few cigars and some tobacco
They also, in tho same manner, broke
into the leather and shoemakers' findings
store of VIM. Il. Turner, next door, where
they ransacked the drawers, &C., but took
away only about Sl,SO worth oil goods
They were evidently after money only, rs
they had an abundance of valuable goods in
both places to steal, and ample time, rs
nothing was known of the robbcries until
the stores were opened this morning.
