The Fairfield divorce suit resulted in 8 decision from Judge Carpenter granting the divorce, and giving the mother the custody of the 16 years old daughter A lengthy report of the trial appears in the Hartford Times, reported to have been written by the court stenographer. We give it in part
 Mrs. Fairfield testified to beatings and chokings that left blackened face and marks the throat, and disabled her for time these beatngs being preceded by her husband bursting open her door and dragging her from her daughters bed where she had taken refuge, to his room, A paper was pro- dnced in court which the defendant had tried get his wife to sign without reading it; Naturally enough she had little curiosity to see what the document contained before afixing her signature to it. She found that it made her out it subject for an insane retreat, and described her husband as ia christian gentleman" perfectly blameess in their troubles. She alone was the cause and they were now [when this document written) diving in peace and hap pinees together" She concluded that she was not auHiciently insane to sign the document. couple were introduced on Thursday morning who had evi- dently been hired to testify to certain things going to show infamous state of degradation on the part of Mrs Fairfield. When these Witnes- -es had finished their testimony, the plaintiffs counsel, MT. A. P. Hyde immediately asked that the court issue an or- der forhidding them to leave before the court ad= iourned. understand that they are to be sued for beriurY Mrs Fairfield was called in rebuttal, and teated that their testimony was false in every par
 cniar One of the witnesses on the side of the de- fsndant was his brother, Francis Gerry Fairfield, known | correspondent of various journals. The case has attracted crowds of spectators and has not been free from ssmnt'; but this came from defend ants witnesses and carried conviction to listeners that 1t was not founded in truth. One of the plain tis witnesses testified that the defendant had said if his wife persisted in having this suit he would blacken her character that she would after wards be receyed into the houses of decent people,
 MT. Fairfeld's testimony was an unquali- fled denial of any act on his part of yio- lence and cruelty towards Mrs. F. Also his brother testified to having seen Mrs. F. after the alleged heating, and that her appearance did not indicate the treatment claimed to have been received from her husband. Other evidence was put in of general kindly treatment on his part. The case has made much talk, for some years past.

preciated. 1t has been reckoned that
thousands have been saved from

and foreign lands, and everywhere his
audiences were greatly influenced Ivy
his earneslness and eloquence. Sell

The leaders in the greao cause of
securing home rule for Ireland, have
at the request of Gladstone, granted
him few weeks in which to fOrmu-
late and perfect his policy towards the
oppressed isle. Ireland in the mean
time is waiting, it seems, with great
confidence in the ability of the q. ,.
M. to develop such measures as are
deemed necessary for the establish
ment of such native government as
will bring peace and prosperity to her
homes. Should Gladstone die before
the completion of this great work,
there is no other statesman in Eng.

the embarrassing chasm between
the two countries.

1t has been said that the illiteracy

view of the case, we fail to see why
our legislators should not give their
support to any measure that would
better their condition. This, the
Blair Bill proposes to do, and if in
supporting it they infringe upon tho
constitution, let their defense he,
like that of the Roman, that
though they have broken the law
they have saved the republic.

to E., E. owed $3.50 to F., F. owed
owed $40 to A.

A having a So note, handed it to
B., remarking that it paid So Of the
Sl5 he owed B.
B. passed the note to e., with the
remark that it paid R5 of the 500
which he owed.
G. passed the note to D., and paid
with it S. of the s15 he owed D.
D. handed it to E., in part pay.
ment of the $50 owed him.
E. gave it to F., to apply on ac'
count of the $3.50 due him.
F. passed it back to A., saying,
"This pays half of the amount | owe
you.
A. again passed it to B., saying, II
now only owe you S."
B. passed it again to g., with the
remark, "This reduces my indebted
ness to you to So"
G. passed it to D., reducing his in
debteduess to SIS.
D. paid it over to E., saying, 81
now owe you $780,"
E. handed it again to F., saying,
"This reduces my Indebtedness to you
to $3.50"
Again F. handed the note to A.,
saying, Nov don't owe you any
thing"
A. passed it Immediately to B.,
thus cancelling the balance of his in
debtedness.
B. handed it to c., reducing his in
debtedness to SIS.
G. cancelled the balance Of his deb
to d. by handing the note to him.
D. paid it again to E., saying, g.
now owe you $15."
Then E. remarked to F.: "If yol
will give me $3.50 this will settle IN.
Indebtedness to you"
F. took $3.50 from his poke,
handed it to E., and returned the 5
to his pocket, and thus the spell wa
