Mrs. Dudley.

| LONDON, Feb. AFTER Mrs Dudley's at
tempt at suicide in London in July, 1883,
she failed to obtain sureties and was there.
| fore sent to the House of Detention AT Mill
| bank for time.
According to another account Mrs. Dud'
| lev was the victim of a mock marriage TO
an English clergyman who WAS already
married. She was subj ect to moods OF
intense love and hate. Letters written by
her, one of which was found upon her after
she tried to poison herself, and another to Il
friend in 1888, Indicate that the loss Of chill
dren unhinged her mind.
The STANDARD, referring to the shooting Of
Rosa, says: ut is not human nature 10
suppose that the attack will evoke spark
of pity. In taking the law into her own
hands Mrs Dudley followed Rossa's pre-
cepts. Those who live by the sword must
perish by the sword This ough; to act ns
timely admonition to those who coutem-
plate adopting the doctrine Of private ven
geance.
A Brighton correspondent says Mrs bud
lev was once charged with An attempt at
suicide in carriage on the Brighton rail-
way. The wife Of London clergy
identified her as nurse at the Queen
Charlotte Hospital in the Marylebone road.
The police surgeon gave it "a his opinion
that she was responsible for her act, but
when she was srragned for trial at Brigh-
ton in October, 1885, she was pronounced in
sane BY medical experts and was sent to the
county iunatic asylum at Hayward's Heath.
The indictment against her was therefore
withdrawn. She is described as having IA
slight scar on the left side Of her neck.
1t is also stated that she was at one
time wanted for the theft of the rings
and ststuette from her Brompton lodgings,
but the owner of the articles refused 10
prosecute her. The case created consider
able interest. The papers referred to it as
the Brighton mystery. She was discharged
from the asylum some mouths. While liv-
ing in London she described herself some
times as widow and at other times stated
that she had been divorced from her hus-
baud.
Later Inquiries show that Mrs. Dudley
formerly lived at No. y Guuder Grove,
Brompton. At the time of her residence
there she was greatly interested in the sue
cess of home for young woman, aad often
visited the police stations in search of suit
able inmates for the home. Mrs. Dudley
was especially interested in cases Of attempt
ed suicide, aud had expressed the opinion
that poisoning was the easiest method of
self destruction,
A further investigation Of Mrs. Dudley's
antecedents in England shows that when
she learned that she was deceived by
mock marriage to a person in the south of
England, she became mad, hut declined to
prosecute her betrayer. Persons who were
Intimately acquainted with Der Say that her
love ior her children was intense, and that

SHOULD ANY one of the gentlemen spoken
of as the possible Secretary of the Navy

a part of his official duty TO transform one

sonal pleasure yacht, supplied at the Gov

enough to offer as the reason Tor so dong

EIGHTY TWO new divorce cases have been
filed for the March term of the Court of
Common Pleas in Philadelphia, This shows
that though Philadelphia may be a city of
brotherly, it is not one of husbandly love /;
and it also suggests the idea that the news
papers of that city, which are among the
most pronounced in their denuncation of
the Mormons, would appear more seemly
if they would hereafter ignore the subject
of polygamy.

mending Congress to pass bill TO enable

Mr.. Hoar, from the Comritte on Priv.
eges and Elections, reported that the Gre

Senator from New York State, had been
examined and were found deiective-not
being signed by the Governor, or counter
signed by the Secretary Of State, of New

sary.

agreed to calling on the Postmaster Gen
eral to explain why certain statements have
been erased from the documentary history

suggested that private note to the Post.
master General would probably secure the

Mr.. Cockrel said he had no idea that the

SENATOR MALONE says he likes neither
the House nor the Senate interstate COM
-merce bill" though the former is really in
tended to effect railroad reform while the
latter is as really intended to prolong exist
ing abuses. But yet the Senator always
votes with his party in favor of the latter.
The republican Senators have too much
personal interest in the profits of railroads
to support any measure that may possibly
reduce those profits.

The PRESIDENT and his Secretary OF the
Treasury recommend the suspension OF the
coinage of silver dollars. But his Secretary
of the Interior openly avows himself the
friend of the silver mine owners and as IN
favor of the continued coinage of the sort
of dollars referred to. Such wide diversity
on SO important n subject among the lead
ers of the republican party looks as if har-
mony were as lacking in that party as it
could possibly be among the democrats.
