The case Of the United States for the use
Of Catherine W. Sonnenschmidt, against
DIR. Charles w. Sonnenschmidt, has again
found its way into the Court in Banc, and
now occupies peculiar situation. In
August, 1877, the defendant obtained q
decree Of divorce from her husband, with
alimony at 500 per month and $50 counsel
fees. A supersedeas bond was filed, and ip
the Court in General Term the alimony was
reduced to $50 per month. Failing to pay
the alimony, in December, 1880, trial was
bad on the bond and Judgment given for
S913.50. The case again went to the Court
in Ranc ON appeal and appellant claimed
that the appeal had been prosecuted with
effect, so much so as to reduce the alimony
one half, and consequently the proceeding
against the bond was void. While the second
bearing of the cause was in transit to the
Superior Court Mrs. Sonnenschmidt died,
and her late husband became administrator
of her estate, and he, according to the claim
of his counsel, is both plaintiff and de-
fendant in the suit, but as the suit was
brought in the name Of the United States,
the cause still lives, and is chiefly contested
TO secure the settlement of the counsel fees
Messrs. Totten and Browning appear for the
plaintiff, and Mr.. w. A. Melory for the de-
fendant. The argument is in progress to-
day.

Retrospect.

We sometimes smile through a vale Of tears,
Looking over the shady past
For somehow we cling to the vanished years,
Holding so much In their mystical clasp.
There were friends-dear friends-and we
loved Them so,
That our life the while grew strangely sweet;
There were voices tender In the long ago,
Making our dream OF bliss complete.
There were hopes that nestled like fair, white
doves,
Filling the soul with diyinest light;
There were songs that whispered OF tenderest
loves,
With never a thought of coming blight.
And there were hearths from whose affairs arose
The incense sweet OF holiest prayer;
And all a young heart ever knows
ora mothers worehipful love aud care.
There brothers and sisters knelt 10 pray
In the soft hush OF tho twilight deep,
on ohanted, IL may be, some tender lay,
Tint still DER the heart Its vigil Goth keepi
Oh tenderly cherished be ever the spot
Where passed our childh00d's Is happy days;
Oh hallowed home, whether palace on cot,
From whose threshold we entered more peril
GUS ways.
O Lifei thy treasured memories well bear
Like a chalice OF odorous balm,
Ana al Of tie past that Is holy and fair
email dwell IN our hearts an echOing psalm.
- We smile, though IL be thr0' q mist Of toar5,
tor We know IN that morning 10 be
we hhiD take from the clasp OF untold years
Our own, our loved, and forever be free.

Moro ou,rsrcs on tho nuss.on.Jcws.

A despatch from London says; 1t is
understood that the reports of the British
consuls in regard to the outrages against
Jewsin Russia are about to be issued by
the Foreign Office. They do not show that
any cases Of violation of women have been
clearly proved. The evidence is clear re-
garding other serious outrages. Had the
authorities used the necessary force, the
outrages might have been confined to a
very narrow circle. The Jews still
remaining in Russia are reluctant to give
full information in regard to them. Mr. f.
ID. Moccata has contributed 1000 to the
Jewish relief fund.- and offers TO con-
tribute one per cent. of any some not ex-
ceeding 21,000,000 collected within two
years. At meeting of the Mansion House
Committee of the Jewish relief fund lot
tiers from Mr.. Gladstone and Earl Granville
were read acknowledging the receipt of
the resolutions adopted at the meeting hold
at the Mansion House on tho 1st instant to
protest against the outrages perpetrated
against the Jews in Russia.

Itnow turns out that Mr.. A. ID. Billings,
a popular actor, whose death in New
York from an overdose of laudanum has
been announced, committed suicide. He
married Mrs. Laura Thorpe, popular
young actress, about two years ago, and
they were most devoted aud loving couple
Mrs. Billings died about six weeks ago,
since which the husband has been despond-
ent and continually brooding over his
misfortunes. Sunday night he took three
ounces of laudanum, and after it had be-
gunsto take effect he told friend who
visited his reom what he had done, declar.
ing that che was tired of life and longed
TO join his wife that he had had nothing
but tears and sorrow since her DEATH APP

Last evening tho Bohemian Club gave
their first annual hop, and it was an ar

served in grand style by Mr.. lie Maurls.

Ruu EN-, Ont.

Washington is just now overrun with
bunko men. They should be run out. They
are dangerous class and ought not to be
tolerated for moment by the police. For
the information of the public The CRITIC
will state that the bunko man is, as arule,
oily tongued, dresses in the very latest
style, tells good story, and always has q
doodle i. c., roll of money. When
he approaches you he always makes him
self agreeable and says he has just drawn a
prize in a lottery and wishes you to accom-
pany him to the place where the drawing
is to take place. There you meet suave
and clerical looking gentleman, who, with
out hesitation, cashes the lottery ticket,
and by and by shows the "lay-out !" that
is the manner of conducting the drawing
The stranger is induced to try his luck, and
if he does SO, is, Of course, skinned. That
is bunko.
The laws of the District are rather loose
respecting this and other snide games of
chance, and the fault would seem, as Judge
Smell sensibly says, to lie with the District
Attorney, whose place it is to go before
Congress and ask for the enactment of
more stringent laws on the subject.

BEFORE going abroad just study the
climate and the season. and your system
as WE'LL such forethought will pay if you
are subject to rheumatism. If you are in
clined to traverse the damp and marshy
districts, don't do it unless you are well
supplied with st. Jacobs Oil, which is far
more efficacious in curing rheumatism than
all the tours that may be undertaken. In
proof of this we will give the words of our
well-known railroad man, and member of
City Council from the Sixth Ward, Mr.. d.
J. Dalton, of Cincinnati. Meeting that
gentleman on Change yesterday, and
speaking on this subject he said:
You remember when my shoulder and
arm was so bad with the rheumatism, last
summer, and for the spring and winter pre-
ceeding? Well, l had tried several reme-
dies and derived no benefit from their use.
/ thought / would try a change Of climate,
and did SO, going to Point Burnside, on the
Cincinnati Southern Railroad. The beauty
of the scenery and the foolish hope of relief
used to tempt me to take early morning
strolls. The entire valley at that time Of
day (just before suurise) is covered with
mist arising from the Cumberland River.
That mist settled my rheumatism. was

times as bad as when l started. l came
home, and gave up the study Of climat-
ology. Time and again / remarked the
wonderful cures performed by st. Jacobs

OIL effected q complete cure, and L am
proud to say to you, or any one else, that
the Great German Remedy will always
meet with my hearty Endorsement. "-Cia-

A Deserved compliment.

The programme of the Jubilee Singers at
the Congregational Church, last night was
much enhanced by the presentation to Miss
Matte l., Lawrence, q leading member of
the troupe, with handsome gold watch
and chain, together with beautiful Rus
sian bound autograph album, from her
friends in Washington. The presentation
was made by Mr.. Henry johnson, who re-
marked that the friends of Miss Law.
renee, who were legion in Washington,
felt a justifabl pride in the success which
had attended her as a member Of the
world. famous Fisk Jubilee Singers, and
learning Of her contemplated visit to this
her native city they deemed it not inap-
propriate to tender her a token of their es-
teen and regard, ard they had deputized
him to wafch and chain her to their hearts
with golden links of affection" Miss Law
renee is wholly Washington growth,
beipg born and educated in this city, and
taught for several years in our public
schools, and we congratulate our colored
citizens upon having so beautiful and ac-
complished q lady to do them honor at

night. The wind monncd among the chin
ney pots and hammered the sleet against
the belated horse cars. A bad night far
fire. A man OF herculcan frame rapidly
asceDded the stairs of the elevated railway
station at Fiity-third street. His face was
screened from observation by the capacious
collar Of his ulster. He carried a@asket in
one hand, in the other green umbrella.
He laughed bitterly as he rushed by the
gateman, in whose box he dropped theatre
ticket coupon. There was something mys-
terious in his air Aclosc observer might
have noticed that his face twitched convnl-
sively. Did he suffer the psngsof remorse,
or love, or hate? Mayhap ho was chewing
tobacco2 Who was he; that he choose such
night for his journey? The iron steed
whinnied, a brakeman showed a passenger

that he broke his leg, and the train carry

THE EVENING CRITIC.
Aueuisomc Tabern.c,e.

The new tabernacle, at the corner of
Ninth and B streets southwest, was for
mally opened last night. There was quito
n large attendance of the friends of the
church and members the press. The new
tabernacle Is a perfect model Of beauty.
The structure is in the form of a square OF
sixty five feet on each side, having n clear
inside of sixty feet net. The entrance Is
effected from the front on Ninth street, on
either corner from which two towers arise.
In the space between three large windowsof
stained glass add beauty and finish to the
ornamental brick work of the whole
'front.' The centre window Is an
allegorical representation of the life, suf-
ferinps and death of Christ, while the
words "Ora ct labora" occupy the centre of
the figure. The windows on either side
represent figures of the four evangelists,
the whole being very elaborate and in the
highest style of art of this class. Entering
the church the interior is extremely pleas
ing, amphitheatre in shape. an easy decline
extending to the foot Of the pulpit
Something entirely new aud novel is
here noticeable for seating the audience,
being the latest improved folding chai rs,
richly upholstered in crimson plush, while
underneath neat contrivancc or hat rack
does away with that terrible necessity and
danger of having ones hat kicked from one
end of an aisle to the other, while at the
back of each chair neat book rack is
visible.
The seating capacity of the new edifice is
52i, and there is roem for one hundred
additional folding chairs. The cost of the
building is $4,000. The architects are
Cluss & Schulze. Mr.. w. IL. Cissel exc
cuted the brick. work; Messrs. Holtzclaw
& Hepburn, carpenters Charles Hamilton,
painting Singleton l& Hoeke, carpetings
and upholsterers T. +. Brooks, plumbing
and gas.ftting; James Vaughn, stained
glass; Baker, Pratt h Co., chairs. The
building committee are Messrs. Geo. White,
William ]. Stevenson, ]. X. Sharp, and W.
j. Murtagh, who together with the follow
ing-named gentlemen, comprise the board
of trustees: William Morrell, A. C. Irvine,
r. w. Downs, j. H. Mitchell and IL. l..
Rose. This evening concert will be held
in the Tabernacle, and on Sunday morning
next the dedication will take place, at
which the Rev. w. Hicks, the pastor, will
preach the sermon. Mr.. Cushman, the or
