In Kansas, says: 81 have visited fully fifty
towns In Kansas within the last sixty days,
and know whereof speak when l say
that In forty of these towns, though never
stop more than three days in place, can
secure enough bad whisky, with my limited
knowledge OF these towns, to give every
man in the United States army the tremens.
That is strong statement, but believe I
know what am doing when make It."

COMsToCK THE CHIFFoNIER.
In His Zeal He Gets Into Trouble and
Overdoes the Matter.
New York Special.

New York Special.
An outrageous invasion of private rights
has just taken place here by Comstock, a
man who voluntarily abandoned the pure
pursuits of life years ago to make a study of
licentious literature. He obtained the CO.
operation of the society, which has ever
since paid him a salary, and have no doubt
but has done some good, and has indeed
broken up to a large extent the trade in OBJ
scene prints. Since the extinction of that
class of stuff the anxiety of the man to keep
himself before the public and still earn his
salary has led him to make attempts to sup
press any classical literature that did not
suit his ignorant mind.
Some time ago he seized the Heptameron,
a work written by the mother of Henry Nv,
the Protestant King of France, chiefly inter-
esting to US for its archaic character, and as
an historical study of morals and manners in
an eminent age. The courts made a
fool of him. He then medi-
tated seizing the Decameron, OF which
there are many editions, the little book of
Boccaccio's tales, which gave humor and il
Illumination to Shakspeare's mind IN the plots
of many OF his plays. 1t would seem as
founding that, four hundred wears after
Shakspeare's time, a sniffer of i'll smells should
undertake to put his tainted hand into the
literature of the work.
A few days ago this very man went into
the store OF Monsieur Bonaventure, under
the Aston House, ana LOOK away about eight
hundred photographs of paintings from the
present French Exhibition in Paris. He
seized them on the ground that nobody has a
right to sell them in New York, and that
they were immoral, These are pictures which
are used by our decorators for forms and
suggestions to paint ceilings, for borders and
other decorations. In France, where there
are thousands of fine models, the human
form in its perfection is obtained, and France
radiates these forms tc the colder nations of
the world. This same man seized two large
copies of CabarePs Venus, the painting made
for the Empress Eugene, and exhibited in
the Paris Exhibition of 1867.
NJ. Bonaventure is one OF the most refined
buyers of books, paintings, missals and rare
things in this country. He is a Frenchman
from Alsace, who came out here to be an en-
gineer, and not knowing the language, lost a
respectable fortune he brought here, and had
to fall back upon his fine library for means.
This he disposed of to such collectors as
Joseph Drexel, A. Dupral, Robert Hoe, jr,,
w. S. Andrews, H. P. Dubois, w. f. Sewell
and Others. 1t then occurred to him that ne
might have a career in facilitating library
collectors. He spends about half the year
in France. He arrived home the other day
and found that in his absence his clerk, a
mere boy. had been arrested, his shop de-
pleted, and his name put into the newspa-
pers by the ambition of an ignoramus to
keep alive his unsavory trade. Stupidity of
this sort is well adapted to again foment the
manufacture and trade of really illicit
things.

The Johnson-HisIey Suit.



A Union reporter asked George F. Elliott,
this morning, if the suit of Eli johnson
against Henry Higley for $10O, 900 damages
for alienation of his wife's affections would
be discontinued i'll view of the fact that
Johnson's wife had won her suit against
Johnson for absolute divorce on the ground
of adultery. In reply Mr.. Elliott said:
'The suit will not be discontinued. On
the contrary it will be called for trial when
it is reached OH the calendar. Mr.. Johnson
is at present away from Brooklyn, and 1
think he is in Chicago. He left, | presume,
principally on account of financial Difficult
ties. But he has had money offered him suf-
ficient to prosecute his suit against Higley
if he sees fit to accept it, and 1 am now try
ing to find out where he is in order to com
municate with him on the subject. In the
meantime preparations are being made for
the indictment of the witnesses who testified
here in the last trial, for perjury"

Yesterday a reporter came into possession
of news OF a startling character for the illicit

accurate authority, that while Mr.. Speer is
in Washington he will call on the President
and ask for a general amnesty for the rev.

have had long and earnest consultation over
the matter lately, and they are confident
that it will strengthen the government and
bring the better class of people everywhere

filled with parties convicted of a violation of
