The Penn's Grove record., 1884-01-12

William Wallace is one of the
wealthiest men in the Naugatuck val
ley, Conn, and the proprietor of a large
manufacturing establishment in An
sonia. He has but one child, a daugh-
ter, who has received a careful and
liberal education. In 1880 she went
to Europe, and there met a Polish
count named OSterog. He could speak
only French, and she only English.
He was engaged in the photograph
business. They were attracted by one
another, and each set about learning
the language of the other. Miss Wal
lace returned home in the spring OF
1881 to obtain the consent of her par
ents to her marriage with the Count.
He was sent for, and came by the next
steamer. The parents and friends OF
the girl We're not particularly pleased
with his personal appearance, but the
wedding came off, and for a time the
couple lived at the brides home,
moved in the best society in Conneetl-
cut, end visited the family relatives OF
the Wallaces. At length the Count
and Countess returned to Europe, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace went thither
themselves last winter to spend the
season with them. They stayed in
Paris, and the young American Count
ess was the centre of a fashionable cir
Gle.
Suddenly the father, mother and
daughter came homeward bound, leav-
ing the Count behind. Satisfactory
excuses were given in Ansonia for his
nOn-appearance and no Sp.clons were
aroused. Gradually, however, 1t be-
came known in the family circle OF the
Wallaces that there was some trou bic,
and that news from across the water
was not in every way satisfactory. NOW
the rumors have escaped beyond the
family circle and have become the town
talk. Careful search, it is asserted,
hes brought out the fact that the
Count is already the ~possessor OF two
wives in France. An attempt on the
part of the Wallaces to get a divorce
revealed the facts The proceedings
for a divorce are now being rapidly
pushed. The family regret that the
facts have become public, but say they
expected that such must be the case II
Justice was to be obtained.

The Comets Christmas.

Away In the west, nearly two hours
high, Is Altar, a bright star between
the two dim ones-in the Eagle. The
star, a considerable distance north of
Altar, and the most brilliant in the
northwest, we call Alpha Lyra. 1t
may be known certainly by two very
small stars quite near it ore just
above, the other to the left-all three
making a nice little triangle. Now
mark a line from Affair TO Alpha Ly-
TG. Just above this line, and some
what nearer the LyTe, we find Beta
Cygni, in the west end of the Great
Cross. -Four prominent stars, consider
ably above this and the Lyrs, form
the body and uuder part of the Cross.
Three of these form a row nearly north
and south. The northern one is Delta
Cygni.
The comet now moves a little mor
than n degree a day, and the rate is
increasing. Its track is nearly parallel
with the three stars in Cygnus-
JuSG DclON tutlus IL Will NC uCdA biO
southern star about December %, and
visible to the naked eye. -Four or five
bright stars a little north of the zenith
indicate the pretty constellation Cas-
siopeia. Some distance below it We
find the North Star. At 8 O'Clock al
tair has set Alpha Lyra is now in the
northwest the Little Dipper is right
under the North Star ; the Great Dip
per is east of north an hour Oh so above
the horizon. Capella, Saturn, etc. are
high in the eastern sky, and three other
very bright stars have risen above the
eastern horizon. The brightest one,
some north of east, is the planet Jupi-
ter. In the east is Procyon. Farther
south is the Dog star though we gen.
orally call it Sirius, 1t is the most
brilliant "set starr visible in the
whole heavens. The two bright stars
above Jupiter are Castor and Pollux, in
the Twins.

Railroads In Mexico.

The English were twenty years in
building 263 miles Of railroad from
Vera Cruz to the capital. The Ameri-
cans have built $500 miles Of railroads
on Mexican territory within five years.
The Central Company alone has con-
structed l,40O miles at different points,
and the Mexican National about 80
miles. Tie subsidy grautedthese com
panies will average $1,000 in round
numbers per mile. 1t results then that
the present administration has paid
these two companies the enormous sum,
for 2,00e miles of road, of So, 600, 900.
Ii Is probable that more than loco
miles of read have been built by Mexi-
can and other companies during the
same period. and which enjoy the same
or even greater subsidies. To the above
sum must be added S1l, 000, 900 more.
This total of SIS, OO0, 600 has IN a great
measure been paid in cash,
