DECElVlNG HIS WIFE.
How Son of Vice. A dmtral Shock
Broke the Marital Bonds.

II. G. Shock, son of Vice.Admiral Shock
has been arrested at Chester, Pa, on the charge
of deserton, preferred by his young wife. Mr..
Shock was married secretly in Baltimore in
1876 to Maria Louise Byrne, the daughter of a
wealthy retired merchant, from whom the fact
oil the marriage was concealed for nearly O
year. The young couple were scarcely of age,
and their union, when discovered, was violent
ly opposed by the parents of both husband and
wife. child was born to them in 1878, and
Mr.. Shock brought his wife to this city,
but did not live with her. In 1888, a
divorce was agreed upon, but recon-
citation ensued, and for several months they
lived together at Chester. Mr.. shocks father
during this time is said to have refused all
communication with his son. Fearing his faith
or would cut him off in his will, the young
man persuaded his wife to consent to divorce,
which, he said, would only be temporary,
as he would remarry her on his fathers death,
an event expected in the near future. Mrs.
Shock consented to this, and was supported
luxuriously at Ridley Park while the divorce
suit was pending Her husband was with heI
when the divorce papers were served, and I'm.
der his direction, she says, she burned them
without reading The divorce was granted by
default some months ago, and since then Mrs
Shock is said to have heard nothing from hel

SUICIDE IN A CELL. g,@x,
The Last Chapter In One Of the saddest
of Family Tragedies. --

The Last Chapter In One Of the saddest
of Family Tragedies.
Another and probably the final chapterin one
of the saddest family tragedies ever known has
been enacted in the Southern state prison at
Jacksonville. Col. Robert NJ. Goodwin took
poison and died in his cell the same evening.
One year ago Robert NJ. Goodwin was one
of the first young lawyers of the state, ola fine
family, all the members of which have risen to
high distinction in society. He had par
ticulariy brilliant military career, entering
the army as lieutenant in the Thirty seventh
Indiana regiment. lie fought his way to a
colonelcy, and was brevetted brigadier gen.
eral for meritorious service. After the war,
he became member of law firm, and APP
peared to be entering upon distinguished civil
career but he had contracted the drinking
habit, and ran down SO rapidly that it became
necessary after time for his relatives to place
him in the insane asylum to be treated for al
coholism. While in confinement Col. Good
win brooded over his troubles, and conceived
the idea that his brother John at Brookville
had been instrumental in placing him in the
asylum. He was released as cured in the lat
ter part of April, 1880, and at once went to
Brookville. His brother was absent at Gin
cinnati in attendance upon the Methodist
general conference, Of which he was IA men,
Der, but on the Sd of May he came home on C.
visit. Robert saw him, dogged his footsteps,
and over, aking him shot him dead upon the
street, Robert was put on trial, and, as re-
suit, he was sentenced to the penitentiary for
life

A Spanish Breakfast.

The day opened for us. not earlier
than o'clock, with a characteristic
Spanish breakfast-an unctuous, abun-
dant meal that would have made the
governor of Barataria smack his thick
lips, but seemed rather oppressive to
our less robust appetite. A leg of
mutton, cunningly stuffed with cloves
of garlic in every fold and Granny, and
a thick sopa or soup, of the consisten-
cy of porridge, and yielding. on rough
analysis with a spoon, eggs, bread
crumbs, minced meat and flour, made
up the solid body of that breakfast.
Refreshing liquids were conspicuously
absent, so were butter and cows milk,
for the herds were up mountaineering
for thesunmer season on the highland
pastures around the Maladetta, and
milk, beyond the niggardly supply
from the town goats, was not to be
had even for distinguished strangers
We had wines of two kinds ne sweet,
the other fennel-havored, and both
atsminable, and chocolate, of course,
was not wanting. very rich and arc
matte, no doubt, but no more entitled
to rank as liquid or stimulant than
molasses. The meal on that morning.
as on every succeeding one, and as the
dinner every evening, was wound up
with cheese and plate of sugar al
monds, doing duty for the postres or
after dishes of Spanish gastronomy
Antonio always directed personally the
operations of the servingwoman dur
ing meals, and the superb air with
which he would order on the lump Of
leathery Spanish cheese and the hand

rally too much for our gravity. Dinner
was made up in much the same way
as breakfast, and the only striking
variation on the first days menu we
had in the course of our weeks stay in
Venaslue was an occasional ollo-Irish
stew, with the potatoes left out-a
dish of stewed lizard or Pyrenian
channels, and two trout as large as a
dudgeon, which an enterprising Span
ish youth had discovered in the Essera
Garlic apart, however, the food was
good and clean, and the never-failing
attention of Antonio and his household
made us all confess that the garlic and
wine, with human kindness, were
better than the proverbial stalled OK
without it. We got rid of the garlic
for all that. 1t was delicate thing to
manage without wounding national
sentiments, but we carried our point
smoothly enough by setting down our
distaste for the vegetable to defect
in our insular education.-T insiey's

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Time is the old justice that examines
all offenders.
Those who can command themselves
command others.
To what atrocities cannot that mind
reach which is impelled by selfish
avarice.
Trying to admire that which you do
not like accumulates failure, and exhib-
its weakness.
The charities that soothe, and heat,
and bless. lie scattered at the feet OF
men like flowers.
Modern education too often covers the
fingers with rings, and at the same time
cuts the sinews at the wrists.
He that wrestles with US strengthens
our nerves and sharpens our skill. Our
antagonist is really our helper.
Some people carry their hearts in their
heads; very many carry their heads in
their hearts. The great difficulty is to
keep them apart, and yet both actively
working together.
The everyday cares and duties, which
men call drudgery, are the weights ana
counterpoises of the clock of time, giving
its pendulum true vibration, and it,
hands regular motion.
A sound bodily constitution, we'll pre-.
,erved with intelligent care, lies at the
foundation of al, the various structures
which men set themselves to rear. 1t is not
only that without it man himself must
be sufferer all his days, but that its alb
sence will surely impair his work in life,
whatever it may be. and thus diminish
his value to the world.
If a man elects to mount the rounds of
the worlds ladder, he must have what
Charles Lamb denominates "grit." The
man who expects that quality of nature
must become pugilist, knocking the
al" out of "ifs.n 1t is the chief ele-
ment in the body-politic of every sue
tessful man. A man low down you can
not keep low down if he wants to rise.
Men rise from cutters to rule in palaces
of kings, and to command the men con-
tent to remain in bondage
