Bigamy by a Divorced Husband

From the New XCrK 1lDune.
Constantine Faber was tried yesterday
before Judge Gildersleeve in the court
ofgeneral sessions on a charge of bigamy.
He is butcher, and lives at No. ll79
I'd ave. He had been divorced from his
first wife before marrying the second,
but the decree granting the divorce for
babe him to marry second time. Both
of the wives were in court and appeared
as witnesses. Ellen A. ,Braden, aged
twenty-six, 10. 4S2 Hudson street, testi-
fed that she was married to Faber in
February, 1877, but in September, 1881,
she secured divorce from him in the
supreme court. A copy OF the decree
granted by Judge Lawrence, was PRO-
duced in court, and both marriage GER
tificates were shown. Miss Mary West,
aged seventeen, who had been married
to Faber last April by the Rev. Charles
Reuss, testified to that fact. William F.
KNITTING, the prisoners counsel, moved
that the case be dismissed on the ground
that the first marriage had been annulled
by the decree of divorce, and that the
second marriage was therefore not biga-
my, but simply a contempt of court In
violating Judge 1awrence's order. The
motion was denied, and no defense be-

repeating a portion Of the law establishing
post routes from Niobrara to Deadwood and
from Chamberlain to Rapid City. Nearly
the entire day was devoted to speeches on
The presidential succession bill. ~s.,...s.a..'''
A very touching scene occurred at the
close OF the session or the senate this eve
ming. Senator Edmunds had closed his
scathing arraignment of Hoar's presidential
bill.
The Massachusetts, senator felt consider
ably cut up at the rough handling of his
pet measure, and rose TO reply. He charged
Senator Edmunds with coming in at this
late day in an unfair opposition to the
measure when it had been for months all
through last session pending before the
committee on the judiciary, and nothing
had been heard from the senator, who alb
scented himself. His criticism was severe to
the verge of cruelty.
Mr.. Edmunds rose to reply. He said the
senator from Massachusetts, did him
great injustice in arraigning him for alb
sence during the last session, under the
circumstances. He knew He stopped
short made great effort to articulate
something. failed. and sat down with tear
streaming from his eyes. A deathllke 81

Some senator in low voice moved to ad-

ators noiselessly left the chamber, awed
into silence by the nantes alton of grief
from their venerable colleague. The caust
of Mr.. Edmund's absence last session was
the late illness of his daughter, who Wa
the idol of his heart and to whose loss be
seems unable to reconcile himself.

How American Girls Talk.

An Englishman in the Manchester Exam
liner.
We are told that talking is only va
riety of singing, and listening to the
talk of American ladies, that doctrine is
very acceptable. At first the pitch
sounds somewhat shrill, though not dis
agreeably, only unaccustomedly so. By
and by YOU begin to like it. AS presum-
ably we should like any keynote coming
from pretty lips. There always seems a
note of interrogation at the end of the
spoken sentences of American ladies,
and sort of cosey querulousness, notso
much plaintive as sympathetic,
splinster peradventure of the
pity which is said to be
dangerously near to love. Nevertheless,
over the rows oflounging chairs on deck,
there seems to BROOD sort of cooling
sound as of well contented doves. The
Young American ladies take the
talking reins in their hands very early
in life. At fifteen they ease their NAM
mas considerably in that respect, and
singularly enough, with their mammas'

age, would prefer conversationally sleep
ing daughters.
About this early American talk there
is no gabble. These young women rio.
ing sixteen speak as deliberately and
naturally as Mr.. Henry Erving, and
without the mocking twinkle of having
something in reserve which renders the
talk of that eminent actor not unpleas-
antly irritating. English girls at the
same age talk as ID were with their
hands behind them, as if to conceal a
skipping rope. The Yankee girl looks

UTTERLY PiTIABLE.

We are sorry TO note lack of considera-
ton upon the part Of Gov. Click for the
manhood OF the editors OF bis organs. Many
Of them are not entirely devoid of indie
pendenee Of thought or an inclination to be
fair, and who, IL left alone, would serve the
Democratic party just as faithfully and We
think just as accepiably. Because, for
sooth, Democratic editor accepts regen-
cy OF the State University at Mr.. Clicks
hands, IL should not necessarily follow that
such editor should be compelled 10 exhibit
his CALLED neck 10 an unsympathizing pub
lie, much less TO the sneer of heartless Re-
publican Federal offiee-holders. II TO So
tate the desires OF his party bosses be must
"whip in" let the lash fall upon some In
significant country patent-outsider and not
over the shoulders of man who has for
years had the temerity 10 boldly call the at
attention OF everybody TO the fact that a
postmaster did not dare say his soul was his
own. While with a true spirit OF Democ-
racy His Excellency may go on kicking out
able aud worthy servants TO make places
for his friends, IL touches us to the quick to
zee u free and independent press trammeled
and belittled through an unwise effort TO
discipline its editor. by checking the un-
woDted freedom of his expressions touch
ing the manifold abuses of the penal law
and the policeman's club, to say nothing Of
his disinterested advice on the failure OF
the bulwark Of our liberties, the free school
system. OF course, these quiet reflections
have no personal bearing, as there is no
Democratic organ In these parts worthy
the name, but are merely thrown out with
desire to save respected friends of other
localities who, in an unguarded hour were
induced TO accept the pitiful crumbs, lover
which His Excellency makes such an ado
In doing OUT, from the harsh criticisms Of
the average Republican politician.

ACQUITTED.


The great star route case closed last week,
after nearly seven months duration, in q
verdict Of "not guilty." for all the parties
indicted, except Rerdell, who plead guilty.
II has been very costly case for the gov.
eminent, and more money was paid out for
lawyers fees than the government ever lost
through the parties under prosecution. We
know II is the popular thing to say that all
the parties charged, including Second As
sistant Postmaster General Brady, should
have gone to the penitentiary, but we never
believed IL. The verdict rendered is nearer
justice than one of guilty would have been.
The governments prosecution was neither
fair nor honorable in many Of its methods.
The case is the longest In history. The
trial, printed in small type, octave size,
comprises over 6,00O pages, or about four
and quarter million words. The report
OF the proceedings up TO the date when the

TOMFOOL TALK.

The editor of the Kansas chat does NOT
permit his conservatism in religious mat
tiers TO affect his ultra radicalism on tarin

sFree trade is Gods law" Is one OF the
Touchdown arguments of the free-traders.
1t is fully as solid an argument and as bright
an idea as they can conceive, to prop up
their weak cause. God makes people naked
and without education; but it is never ar
gued, from this fact, that men should not
clothe themselves, or become educated.
God made men without money, and with
ont weapons of defense; but mankind
would be badly off if they adhered to the
free trade doctrine, and sat down to i've US

into most men, enabling them to supply
themselves with articles they need, and to
protect their interests by enacting tariff and
other wholesome laws. Here is where the

gressive, go-ahead men, are willing to take
