The s. Losis Aagasiss for January is an extra number of this excellent mzga- zine. The time when none but eastern cities could sustain ssch publication is past.
 The /E4g<, of New York, has become one of the greatest comic publications of the world. It's cartoons are like finished chromcs and its reading matter is ex- ceilent.
 The Chicago Telegram, under the par agraphic control of Luther C. Riggs, has become one of the most interesting daily Papes of the west Mir. Riggs is not a mere punster. His writings are graceful and refined.
 George Peck, editor of PseEs Sss. is not only great humorist and pathetic writer, but can arise to an occasion of e. rious interest. In this issue we publish from him an article, Intent VI. Result in which a very important matter is han dled in a masterly manner.
 GiihooIey's Efehi.gs, of Pittsburgh, that was, new comes out as I,asity Fair. It has assumed most graceful proportions, having sixteen pages and a handsome heading. Clark & Walls have made a good move, and the crown of success is not suspended far above them. By the way. have you noted the fact that nearly all journals of merit are successful There was time, and no, long ago, either, when merit was no assurance of success

A Singular Case.

A singular divorce ease is before the
aourts of New York city. In his aifl.
davit the plaintiff says that he arrived
in this country in January last, and on
April made the acquaintance OF young
woman. 1t was case of love at first
sight, and while they were spending an
evening together the question OF mar
riage came up i'll conversation. Her
relatives represented that according to
the law and customs of N. Y. State twas
necessary to have the engagement rati-
fed by an official at the City Hall, lie
objected to these summary proceedings
on the ground that he was not suai-
GENTLY acquainted with the Young lady
nor her antecedents, AID that he desired
first to consult with his mother, who
was then Oh her way to this city. 1T was
represented however, he alleges, that
the ceremony at the City Hall was
merely matter of form, and not at all
binding on one of the Hebrew faith, and
that the real marriage must be subse'
uuently cons,immated before jewish
Rabbi. Accordingly, on the morning
of April 2, the plaintiff, who could not
speak word of English, went before
one of the Aldermen and was unwillmgly
married to his fair inamorata; believing
that the ceremony was merely a be-
trothal. He continued to call on Miss
Moses, being unaware, as Is alleged,
that she was his wife, and on April 10
married her according to Jewish rites.
Early the next morning his bride went
insane, and was so violent that he has
never since been able to live with her,
and has even found it necessary to con-
fine her in an asylum on Blackwell s
Island. He states that she has been a
unatic for some years. He has learned
that she has occasional lucid intervals,
lasting for periods from five days to two
months, during which times she real

shreds of the required evidence OF

A New Haven Industry.

Rapid Growth of Business-New Haven
 Car Trimming Compnny-AbOut One
 Hundred Hands.
 Almost every variety ''under the canopy" in car trimmings, coach lamps, builders hard ware, etc., is being made by the New Haven Car Trimming company at their msnufactory on Goffe street. The company's success has been phenomenal and it has in a remarkably short time become an important industry, employing about one hundred hands. Not only all manner of car trimmings are made but large business has been built up by Messrs. Goodrich & Moore in the manufae- ture of bronze goods, coach lamps, fancy clock cases and builders hardware. The clock cases are of iron and are turned out in handsome style, appearing as if in part mar ble Most all these goods are taken by the New Haven Clock company. Of ths coach Ia mps a large number are made for New Haven carriage manufacturers and the remainder are sent to different places, many going to distant parts of the United States. MT. Goodrich has invented model patent prop for coach lamps, very unique, simple and great improvement both practically and or namentally upon the old. It is positive holder, surpassipg the ordinary holders and adds to beauty of the lamp. MT. Goodrich of the concern was formerly superintendent for the car trimming WOrKS IOrm0Ely aG Graham's shops on Wooster street. He with Mir. Moore started shop for the manufac- ture of bronze goods, and made at first many bronze busts of Garfield and other goods. Their business increased in volume and the car trimming concern and Goodrich & Moores consolidated under the corporate title of the New Haven Car Trimming com pany. The owners are l.. G. Tillotson, New York; General B. s. Greeley, president; R. E. Goodrich, superintendent; G. F. Moore, secretary and treasurer; Jamss Graham, of the brass foundry; David Corey, formerly of Graham & Corey; Frank H. Hooker, the carriage manufacturer, and W. H. Atwood, secretary of H. Hooker & Go. The N. Il. C. T. Go. after the fire which burned their es- tablishment. in Newhallville, took the R. o. Dorman carriage manufactory and built on an engine and boiler room and other additions. They occupied it last June, and in four weeks were running with much new and valuable machinery, brass foundry, etc. The concern does much work in gold, silver and nickel plating, both of their own and for New Haven customers, and refnish chandeliers for home customers. The samples of art goods they make would make handsome art collection. A pair of coach lamps are now being made to adorn the coach of an East Indian prince, which Hooker & Co. are manufacturing. Forty varieties of clock cases are made. The con cerns business is constantly increasing, and it's future continued success is well augured by it's present record.
