What Eau ReyOir" Means.

Mrs. Ellen III. Cheetam was before JUS
tice Walsh, OF Brooklyn, for alleged assault
on her husband, James Chcetam. De.
PENDANT, who is about fifty-four years OF
age, keeps clearinghouse at No. S:
Hicks street. Plaintiff testified that hi,
wife assaulted him when he demonstrated
with her on her actions with the boarders.
She fastened him in room, aud when he
forced the door open she cut his ear. She
also threatened to shoot him. lie had Wis
tied the house once since he left, when his
wife ordered him out, saying that the house
belonged to her.
Mrs. Cheetam denied having assaulted
her husband, and went on TO state that she
did not know how to fight, but she "cOuld
eyerlastingly catch hold OF man and
squeeze him 80 that he could not give her
II black eye" When her husband came out
OF his room on the 18th OF December she
had toy-pistol in her hand, and said 10
him "Look out !" Mr.. Cheetam had ac-
cIlsed her OF saying "Au rerOir" TO one of
the boarders, and said that 1t meant "Good-
bye, sweet love, until we meet again."
Mrs. Cheetam said she was unable to find
that definition in the dictionary. She
thought she would give her husband a
chance TO fight man. When she found
that he would not fight man she gently
poured six glasses Of ice-water and one
tumbler OF vinegar down his back "to
preserve him for future reference" He
then struck her and she pulled his whis-
kers. Mr.. Lobe, the boarder, who was
present, picked up chair us II TO strike
her husband. The latter seized carving
knife. The boarder pulled from his pocket
small case containing an ink-eraser. Mr..
Cheetam finally laid down the knife and
the boarder returned the eraser to his
pocket. -Nelp York Herald.

LECTURE IN ST. AUGUsTlNE'S CHAPEL.
The third lecture for the entertainment
OF mcmbtrs of Trinity's flOurishing chapel
OF 81. Augustine, No. 107 east Houston
street. was given last evening by the Rev.
DR.. MyttOn Maury. Ills subject, an
nounced as &C. 0. ,, Ghost Story"
aroused the curiosity OF that pOr-
ton Of the audience not versed in
chemistry. Ordinary mOrtals, he said,
deemed II singular privilege to see the
ghosts Of other people. He proposed to
show them their own ghost. He then with
the bottle of oxygen, in which he placed a
piece of charcoal, manufactured what he
termed the ghost, the combination OF car
hon and oxygen causing il to burn and
form carbOnic-acid gas, the lecturer eX-
planning that gas is, in the German Ian
guagc, the same as ghost. This gas, he
showed, was the ghost Of decayed hui
manity. Charcoal or carbon enters largely
into our bodies, into our vegetable
and cooked animal food color being but
an ulimpOrtant element, as demonstrated
by sOapsuds, &c., becoming brilliant with
color. when expanded to great thinness, as
IN sOap-bUbble, else we would all be black
like the form OF carbon known aS charcoal.
As il formed an important food element OF
vegetable life, there was the possibility OF Il
mans eating the body Of his ancestors in
apples, or smoking from the bowl of Il clay
pipe that bad contained the elementary
substances Of once human animal. But
is this thought, he asked, worse than
to know that the carbon and oxygen
Of our bodies have been burned by fire
to this invisible gas and confined in
TIL, bottle. Ii was an idea not unlike
the belief of the IIindOos that the human
soul, tiansmigrating through the bodies OF
various animals for three thousand years,
may again enter 4 human body. The ac-
ton Of the Oxygen OF the atmosphere upon
the lungs, &c., and it, effect in poisoning
the sane atmosphere when brcathed from
the lungs, were illustrated by the lecturer.
The mutual benefit OF the animal kingdom,
which gives out carbon, and the vegetable
world, which utilities it as food through the
chemical action OF the sun, was described
with interesting illustrations, and in con-
clusion the lecturer spoke OF the constant
changes Of the body, and compared them
with the unchanging soul OF malkind.-

Housekeepers, particularly those in charge
OF lodging or boarding houses. cannot be
too careful in giving employment to SER
wants about whom they know nothing, and

latest case reported is of lady who has a
clearinghouse on st. Paul street, who
some two weeks ago employed as general
house-seryant bright mulatto young man,
who quite won upon her by his industry
and attention TO his duties. But on Tues
dag last he suddenly disappeared, when,
on hurried examination, II was discover
ed that he had fairly raidcd the rooms Of
the dodgers. Locked drawers and trunks
appeared to have been no impediments, for
he seemed to have been provided with KEYS
to open any ordinary lock. He got val
liable gold watch from one trunk, and va
rious sums OF money, from two up to
twenty dollars, from others. The matter
was at once placed in the hands of the po-
lice, but they have so far been unable TO
discover any trace OF the adroit thief,

all sorts OF tricks with the serpcnts. They
tied them together, hung them on nails and
fines stretched across the room, threw them

that she desires to meet suitable admirers,

she meets casually upon the street, and so
she "can only fold her hands and wait
while the probabilities increase" that she
may never meet the man Of her heart. This
Is quite too distressing, aS some OF the

respectfully brought up in Canada, but on
arriving at Evansville he fell among "the

tricks. He was addicted to wearing clo-
CANT apparel, and was the dandy Of his
tribe. Some thirteen years ago, through
on advertisement in a paper, he became
aware Of the fact that he was heir to large
estate. lie left Evansville, secured posses
sion OF the property, went to England,
