GAMBETTA AND CnANzY.
Anecdotes OF the Eminent Dead, Gathered
from late Paris Papers.


Pierre yeron tells the following:
One April morning in 1869 number
of us were breakfasting at the house Of a
friend distinguished in Journalism and
politics Gambctta was among the num-
Der, and, of course, was the centre of at
traction.
During the desert VIC talked about CHI
romancy; one of the guests was an adept
in that debatable science. Gambetta
only laughed and displayed good-hu-
morcd skepticism, but when the Special
list" Offered to "analyzc" his palm, the
great man pood-naturcdly consented.
"Ohl what a splendid line of luck"
said the chiroDancer in tone of cnthu-
siasm and conviction.
All at once he stopped snd seemed to
hesitate.
"Well," said Gambetta, eaily, care you
ashamed Of having promised such good
things to non-beicver?"
No-but-take care. In your life
there will be serious accident. Take
care-take care.
Gainbotta continued TO laugh like n
man not TO be disconnected by trines.
Then the conversation turned TO other
things. When the entertainment was
over the palmist accompanied us. He
returned 10 the subject of his prediction.
ffpha lpa nf 1ifa ap1S "a
will see-a brilliant career, followed by n
terrible an unexpected end"
Somebody told Gambetta about it the
next day. 81 always hope it is true"
said Gambetta; "what if our life is but
span, if we can only succeed in being
something while 1T lasis.'
After Gambettas death two Deputies
were walking arm in arm through the
lobby # the Chamber.
"IIow sad he looks" said x, point
ing to one of the ex-President's humber
followers.
ayes, he Is the reverse Of the man in
Hofman's fantastic story. He lost his
shadow; here the shadow has lest the
man."
General Chanzy, even in the Chamber
of Deputies or in the Senate, kept quietly
in corner by himself. One of his col
leagues wittily remarkcd "That man is
an aside"
An "aside," perhaps, but one that
thought, dreamed and hoped. The Cen
erals eyes were always turned TO the iti-
ture. Witness a personal remlniscence.
One day last winter a distinguished
French litterateur gave n dinner party.
Around the board of the amiable host
were assembled notabilities, political ar
tistic and literary; military, too since
Chanzy was there. During the evening
there was an interlude devoted TO poetry
and music. Some very pretty verses We're
rccited containing delicate tribute TO
the distinguished services of Chanzy.
The General went up to the author and
shaking him cordially 10y the hand said,
with an air of melancholy resolution
"We must not think of Yesterday, but
OF tomorrow. Unhappily | feel myself
growing old and if tomorrow is too long
in coming"
He said no more, but shook his head
and went sadly away.
Tomorrow never came to Chanzy.

Spence in the west but admitted having
written aletter to him. 9he inst heard OF
Arrons house when the plaintiffs lawyer
went there 10 take dispositions. Aletter was
shown her which she said was In good imi-
tAtlon Of her writing, but was not written by
her. She had called on Mrs. Vollhardt and told
her II she told certain thipgs she would tell
Mr.. Spence, and other people could tell some
things, too She reiterated statements
made on her direct examination, and denied
that she ever wrote 10 Spence that all matters
must be closed between them or that they had
been guilty OF crime. She had never been
on bad terms with Mr.. Spence. She knew
William N. Lupton, as be Wal an intimste
friend OF her husbands; but he had never
paid her any attentions, and had never been
In buggy with her except on the day she
was married 10 the Doctor. She had met the
Doctor twice after leaving him, and had
agreed 10 live with him II he would quit
drinking and leave Martins Ferry. He did
not fulfill these conditions. She refused TO
say who told her DR.. Hobensack had not quit
drinking, but said the party had NO interest
In this suit, and the Court ruled she need not
answer. After getting this intormstion she
applied for divorce.
Mr.. SPENCE TEXTILES.
Mr.. L. Spence, the defendant in the salt,
was next sworn. he said DR.. Hobensack had
owed him money ever since he was married.
He had helped the Doctor frequently, and
the latter had been his family physician un-
til June OF this year. The witness said:
After his wife left him we had great many
talks at my house and otti:e and at his store
about his wife. The Doctor stood in the win
dow and pointing down over the commons
said that d-n-' was the cause Of the sepa-
ration between him and his wife. He had me
make arrangements for him TO meet his wife;
she did not know certainly that she was to
meet the Doctor. She did not want 10 meet
him, but he insisted. and her sister left tho
room, and they had private meeting. The
Doctor never ihtimated during this visit that
| w6s the cause OF his difficulty.
The witness made the same statements
substantially about bis visits to Mrs. Hoben-
sack as she did, as well as about tsking her
rides 10 his buggy at various times, about
accidental meetings In Wheeling and on the
boat. BE said he had never met her at any
OF the improper resorts mentioned in the
testimony given, and there were never any
| improper relations between them at any
Doctors reques', several times, and wrote to
her at 81. Ciairsville In reference to the SEP
aration, also at the Doctors request. He
also wrote to her at Bunker Hill about the
separation and tbs divorce case. Told Mary
Hobersaok he had received o letter from
Mrs. Hobensack, and the next day the Doctor
called him In and showed him letter from
his wife.
In the report in yesterdays issue Of Mr..
Crippen's testimony he was made to say
there were no blinds 10 the windows. What
he did say was that be did not know whether
there were any blinds.
The trial will probably not end for several
