A SAD STORY.
A Society Belle who Goes to the Lowest
Depths.

..H. = #.Ha. DCpeA0. ~ +. |s
A Baltimore dispatch of July 1 says:
There is now pending in court of equi-
ty, in Baltimore a divorce suit, which
has brought to light particulars of a
most revolving character, illustrating in
a startling and distressing manner the
blighting effects of the opium habit.
Owing to the high social standing of
the parties involved, the greatest secre-
cy has been observed, and the names
are Withheld from publication. AS is
known, however, til e unfortunate VIC
tim Of the deadly drug was until her
marriage in 1869 a noted society belle
living on the eastern shore. She grad
uated with high honors, and upon en-
tering society was recognized as the
belle of the country, which boosted
many beautiful women. She had scores
of admirers. but gave her hand TO q gen.
tleman living in the same country of
equal social rank and wealth. The
wedding was solemnized with great &C.
lat and was Il of the most prominent
social events of the eastern shore. For
several years the married life of the
couple was one of great happiness.
Three children blessed the union. Soon
after the birth of the last childit was OBJ
served that the lady became subject to
fits Of melancholy, Mt times taking no
interest in anything around her and
again being buoyant and cheerful. An
old and trusted servant finally discovered
that the wife was a confirmed opium
eater. Every effort was made by the
distracted husband to break her of the
habit, but without success. Two years
ago she disappeared-still young and
pretty-and though detectives We're en-
lployed, no trace of her could be found.
Recently q policeman of this city OBJ
served among the names of persons sent
to the house of correction that of the
missing women whom he had known in
youth. Upon her discharge he traced
her to one of the vilest dens in this city.
kept by a colored woman. The officer
notified the husband, and a few DAYS
ago they went together to the place,
and the husband found his long-lost
wife-his beautiful bride of a few years
before-in the company of a coarse,
brute-looking negro. The wretched
man sprang forward to destroy her, but
was re strained by the policeman. All
trace of the woman's former beauty had
disappeared and she was unreeognizable
even to her husband. Evidence for the
divorce suit was obtained and the opium
victim left to her fate. In conversation
she appeared to be wholly depraved and
did not manifest the slightest regret for
what she haddone. She was unmoved,
except when aliusion was made to her
children, when she betrayed some little
emotion.

IMPORTANT DECISION
I'm Regard to a Students Right to Vote.

An important decision has just been an
nounced by the Supreme Court. drawn by
Chief Justice Peters, in the case of George D.
Saunders against E. L. Getchell ct ais, select
men of Wateryille.
The plaintiff was a student in Colby Univer-
sity, and sued the defendants, who were Sc
lectmen of Waterville, for rejecting his vote
at the fall election of 1882. Important and
practical as we'll as interesting questions,
arose in the case, not before adjudicated in
this State. The following is the rescript fled
in the case:
By statute of the State, selectmen are not
liable for refusing to receive the vote OF q
qualified voter, unless their action is "unreds-
enable, corrupt or wilfully oppressive;" if cor
rupt or wilfully oppressive, it must be unreas-
Sonable; if not unreasonable no liability at
taches.
Their action cannot be deemed unreasonable
when the question decided by them is 80
doubtful that reasonable and intelligent men,
unaffected by bias or prejudice, might natur-
ally differ in their views about it; il the ques-
ton is such that there is room for two honest
and apparently reasonable conclusions to be
reached. Reasonable mistakes are excused ;
unreasonable mistakes bring liability.
The question is not whether their acts ap-
pear to the officers themselves to be reasonable,
but whether reasonable in fact; ignorance is
not an excuse. When person accepts q town
office, he Vouches for his competency to per-
form its duties at least ordinarily well.

day, by George S. Hunt & Co., announcing the
sudden death in that city, in the Office of W.
FL. Kinsman, al p M, of Capt. Edward Hall
of this city. and asking what disposition should
BIS made of the remains.
Captain Hall was one of the old shipmasters
of Portland, and had been engaged, until the
past three years, for over quarter of CEN
tury as master of vessels employed in the Gu
ban trade. His last command was the brig A.
J. Pettingill. He was abour 60 years of age,
was born in Falmouth, and was most capable
and experienced officer. His death was prob.
ably caused by apoplexy or heart disease, but
no cause Of death was given in the despatch.
Capt. hall was member of Portland Lodge
of Masons and Portland Commandery, Beacon
Lodge of Odd Fellows, and the Odd Fellows
Mutual Relief Association of Portland. He
leaves widow and one son. His remains will
be brought here today for interment

learning shall not entitle him to the right of
suffrage in the town where such seminary is
situated. This does not prevent student
gaining voting residence in such place, If
other necessary conditions exist. He does not
require residence because a student, but
may acquire one notwithstanding that fact.
Bodily presence and an intention by the
student to remain in such place only because a
student, or only as long as student, do not

Students home merely; il must be an inten-
