THE ACTOR's WIFE.
Mrs. Alice neutrality-suspicious.
suing Her Latest Husband
Tor Cash Advances.

A Philadelphia special says: The
short married lite of Frank O, Bangs,
the actor, and Mrs. Alice Singer
Lagrove, one of the daughters Of the
sewing machine manufacturer, and
would be actress as well, seems to be
at an end. 1t is hardly six weeks
since they were married with all due
pomp and ceremony by the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, in Brooklyn,
and started upon tour of wedding
receptions. The first Of the series
was at the house of the bride in
Brooklyn, and following it up came
others in Washington, Baltimore, and
this city, which were as grand as
money could procure, Mr.. Bangs has
taken the dignifed course Of separat-
ing himself from his wife, and she has
promptly entered suit in the Court of
Common Pleas in this city to recover
from him $1,000, ell alleged to have
been advanced to him prior to the
marriage with which to pay debts in
Cured during an unfortunate starring
tour. Suit is brought here that an at
tachment might issue upon the fuEni-
ture of his sister, Mrs. Cossiday V.
Johnston, Southern lady, at whose
house their Philadelphia reception
was given, The irsts bride claims
that part of tAe money went to fur
nish the house now occupied by the
sister. Mrs. Johnston says that none
OF the money was spent upon them;
that the wife forced it on Mr..
Bangs, who at first refused it. She
was Jealous from the first of every one
whom he liked. He has been faiths
full brother to her and almost father
to her children, and the bride no
sooner reached her own home than
she accused him Of liking his family
more than her, and found fault with
his dog, even insisting that he should
send him away. The quarrels oulmi
mated in Bangs leaving the house,
coming to this city for few days, and
then returning to the Sturtevant
House in New York, where he wrote
her that she could see him there, but
he would not go to her. He finally
consented to meet her lawyer at their
home in Brooklyn, but positively re-
fused to occupy the same room with
her. 1t is alleged that she is deter
mined upon a second divorce, and Mr..
Bangs is as firm in his determination
not to be made q subject of womans
Whims.

The excursicu steamer 7. +. Eckert
in command of j. Yves Owens and
Marsh Miller at the wheel, left last
night for Helena. with brass band,
the colored soldiers of this city, and a
number Of their friends. The boat
had several landings to make before
reaching her destination and expected
to gather up a couple of hundred peo-
pie. The boat will return in the
morning and give her usual afternoon
and night excursions tomorrow.
The peerless Kate Adams will ar.
rive early to-morrow morning, and is
the Adams Line mail packet leaving
on Monday evening for Arkansaw
City and way landings. Ladies and
gentlemen forming clubs Tor a couple
Of days excursion on the river can
select no better boat than the Kate
Adams. She enjoys a reputation for
speed, safety aud comfort, and Jere
Matson, her efficient steward, will
furnish for the tables the best in the
market. Remember the Adams will
give special rates.
The world renowned and popular
steamer Josie Harry, in command of
Captain Milt r. Harry, is the only
packet in port and leaves this evening
for Devalls Bluff, Augusta, Newport

The Cincinnati and Louisville Mail
Line OF steamers is the oldest estab.
lished linein the West. aud it has
proven itself the best, 1t has kept
the track continuously for at least &C
years. The first mail or packet boat
was established as far back as 1878,
when they built and ran the General
Pike, the first of that name. She
made the trip from Louisville to Gin,
cinnati in 30 hours, including wood
ings," very serious matter in those
early steamboating days, when wood
was the only fuel, and they often had
to cut it at the landing. The clerk Of
the pioneer boat was Jacob Strader, a
memory revered by all boatmen.
Captain Pennywit was commander Of
the first mail boat.

who else should be pleased or dis,
pleased, although il was but justice on
this occasion TO thank them for their
Difference and respect to his official
conduct, the constant aud uniform
support he had received from every
member, for their prompt acduiescence
IN his decision, and to remark, to their
honor, that they had never descended
to single motion OF passion or embar-

he was disposed to vary or retrsct.
Burr was evidently one of the most
remarkable men that our country has
ever produced. The designs which
clouded his name in his own day with
the suspicion and charge of treason
differed very little from the occupation
OF Texas y people ofthe United States,
the temporary independence of the
territory so detached from Mexico,
and its fnal incorporation into the
Union. And with his duel with Ham
iltoD, in which the great financier fell,
Burr was a victim to the barbarous
customs of those days. And he killed
a popular favorite. Other vices clus-
ter around bis name, but they cannot
present him, even to the eye Of moral
judgment, as less than an "archangel
fallen"
When boy, residing with my par.
ents in New York ct the corner of
MaidenLane and Broadway, l used to
see Burr pass every morning and eve
ming, as he went to and returned from
his law office. Tall, and walking with
a soldier like air, he attracted atten-
ton as he passed along, and people
would stop aud point him out to others
after he had gone by. One day was
in the law office of Allen Dye, where
my uncle, the late Allen Dodge, of
Hamilton,was studying his profession.
and Burr came In to inquire about
case in which be was counsel. II
regarded him with dread, and
yet | was fascinated By the
courtesy Of his manner, the
pleasant expression of his bright, keen
eyes, and the gentle, winning tones Of
his voice. He was at that time vir,
tuallyan outcast from the circles In
which be had been a leading figure.
Very poor, he took cases other lawyers
refused to touch, aud be often found
it difficult to procure the necessaries
of life, Yet he never lost his dignity
and self respect, and appeared amidst
the trials and vicissitudes of his old
age to enjoy the peace and serenity
which only q quiet conscience can
give. BE was undoubtedly the first
political boss Of New York, and it was
by following his advice that Van Blu.
rem passed from Office to Office, until
he became President.

The indications point to an easy
money market throughout the autumn
months, and while large volume of
capital is actively employed in various
permanent enterprises, in house
building, property buying and other
species Of traffic, there is still sutti-
cient supply to satisfy the demands Of
all solvent applicants. An increased
movement noted in mercantile bust
ness and an increasing demand for
funds among tradesmen has begun to
rule. The banks and insurance com>
panies are, however, amply able to
meet all requirements, and at present
discounts are 6 per cent, the same as
heretofore. Exchange is nm
varied. Bankers buy Eastern
exchange at par to to discount, and
sell New York drafts at to premium.

FACTS.

Those contemplating q trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con.
sult the time tables OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, aud every possible care is taken
to insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change Of
sars tc Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
Int single change of cars to Iowa,
R.,usss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota,
sse. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohie.-l's
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to TIE saving Of much Of both as we'll as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or re-
ceiving letter from one Of the B. 4 o.

WOman's Kingdom.

A mans foes are those of bis own
household, and the keenest enemies Of
woman are women themselves. No one
can inhict such humiliation on woman
as woman can when she chooses; for
If the art Of high-handed snubhing be-
longs to men, that of subtle wounding
is peculiarly femenine and is prac,iced
bv the hest bred of the sex. Women
are always more or less an'agonistic to
each other. They are gregarious in
fashion and cumulative In folIies, but they
cannot combine; they never support
their weak sisters: they shrink from
those who are stronger than the aver
age, and If they would speak the truth
boldly, they would confess to radical
contempt for each others intellect, which
perhaps is the real reason Why the seci
OF the .'enancipated" commands So
small following. Half dozen men
advocating emancipation" doctrines
wouid do more toward leavening the
whole bulk of womsnklnd than any mum
ber of first class women Where they
do stand by each other 1t ia from in
stinctive or personal affection rather
than from class solidarity. And this is
one of the most striking distinctions OF
the sex, and one cause among others
why men have the upper hand, and why
they are able to keep it.
