A CLERICAL BIGANIIsT.

Re Left His Curacy.

Career of an EnSllsh lerSyman-hoW
He Left His Curacy.
An extraordinary case of bigamy, says
the London Morning Post, has just come
to light at Birmingham. About month
ago the Birmingham Magistrates issued
warrant for the apprehension of Rev.
Thomas Morris Hughes, who up to July
last acted as curate in charge of the parish
of Bickenhill, some eight miles from
Birmingham. The information on which
the warrant was issued alleged that the
person named had committed bigamy,
the details of which and the
other circumstances of his career
are OF the most extraordinary char
acter In 1866 Hughes went to Shrews-
bury with a view to procuring curacy,
and while there was married to his land
lady, an attractive widow, possessed of
means and two young daughters. In 1869
Hughes became curate OF Darlaston,
StafiOrdshire, and he subsequently held
several curacies. but he gave way TO
drink. For making false representation
to the registrar of the sub-district of
Beaumaris as to the parentage of the child
of his step-daughter he was sentenced, in
1875. by Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, to
) years penal servitude, but his good con-
duet in Jail secured his release in 1879.
MARRIAGE AND DISCRETION.
In 1880 he became acquainted with
respectable young woman, the daughter
of a working carpenter, and induced her
to marry him, his wife being still living
in Birmingham. In October, 1882, the
vicar of Bickenhill Rev. w. Rawlins
Capel, being in failing health. advertised
for curate to take charge of the parish
in his absence, and Hughes having applied
for the post with excellent testimonials
secured the appointment conditionally on
his taking the pledge and assisting in
temperance work. In Bickenhill he
soon created a very favorable i'm
preston by his eloquent sermons and
apparent earnestness. In consequence of
rumors which reached the vicar he deter
mined to investigate the history of the
curate, but in this he was anticipated by
the sudden disappearance of Hughes, to-
gether with the cook at the vicarage.
The second wife was so shocked by the
desertion of the man whom she believed
to be her husband that her mind became
affected and at the present time she is an
imbecile. Hughes was subsequently ar
rested by the Aston police in house in
Belgrave square, Gravelly hill, where he
was living with a woman supposed to be
the cook with whom he elOped from
RickenhiIl.

snnpressing Criminal Literature.

Under the head Letters from the PeO-

fishes the following:
SIR-The daily papers report that an
agent of one of the prominent illustrated

York has been sentenced by the authOri-
ties of the State of Georgia to several
years in the chain-gang for dealing in OBJ

true. and, if It does not to some extent
offset Southern homicide it cannot fail
to check the general volume of crime.

THE OLD VIRGINIAN.
An Amusing Description of a Resident
of the Old Dominion,


And with all this material progress let
US put it on record that the Nirginian is
still the old Virginian; and let US be thank
full for that. He, with his solid notions of
honor, truth, piety, purity, hospitality, is
a good anchor to the nation. This old NIr-
ginian. under whose solid mahogany /
have had my legs, is building a barn.
Every timber OF this barn l have had to
approve and praise for its sOlidity and
permanence. His head is blOssoming near
the seventies, but he stumps about and
thumps everything with his big oak stick
to see that it is ''sOlid. solid >,

of mountain acres, and although
he we'll knows he viii never live TO see it
completed. he Laws the foundation deep in
the earth-solid. solid. solid, And his
character, as we'll as those Of his neigh
bors, seems to be quite as substantial. AT
breakfast one morning a bottle of honey,
sO-called. was brought upon the table to
be spread on the crisp and smoking corn
cakes. Well, this honey proved to be
glucose. This glucose had been poured
in upon a 'hOneycOmb'' which some
Yankee had made by machinery. The
good and gray old man had Just finished
saving grace. But he got up. He struck
his fist in the air. and / tell YOU he fairly
turned the atmosphere blue. I'm France,
