Judge Barrett summoned special Grand
Jury to see if it was possible to clear the
docket. But when the jury was summoned,
at great expense to the county, the District
Attorney was junketing at st. Louis; and,
as though that was not enough of time to
steal from the city, when the convention
was over he went to st. Paul to visit some
of his relations. Meanwhile the wheel of
justice were paralyzed for million and
half of people. When asked why he absent
ed himself IRON his duty, for which he was
drawing his pay, like Tweed, he turns to
the people of New York and says, "What
are you going to do about it9'' We shall
have an election one of these days, and

The week closes the last chapter in the
romance of Robert Townsend, who, oyer a
year ago, married his cook Mary Ann
Murphy, under very peculiar circumstances.
On Wednesday his will was filed in the
!, Surrogate's Court. A year ago Mr.. Town

- Huntington with lovely and accomplished
lady who passed in society as Mrs. Town
% send. Mrs. Townsend engaged at an in
. telligence Office in Brooklyn a stout, rosy
Irish girl, fresh from the could Dart" as
&c cook. Matters went on swimmingly for a
: couple of months, Mr.. Townsend keeping
Y his clay well soaked with good old rye
u whiskey, leaving Mrs. Townsend IN full
l. command of the establishment One day
Mrs. Townsend made visit to New York
n and while she was goue Mr.. Townsend
lie made love TO the cock and offered her his
D. hand and all that thereto belonged. Ht

rs Murphy from Tipperary. Then came tn
u, hitch. He was Protestant and she was
ee Catholic, and it was Lent, and that moth

e. Brooklyn could bridge the difficulty. Faith

RS knowing that such golden fruit is not pick
en- ed flom every huckleberry bush, he tele
ey graphed down to the Bishop that it was
;" case of pressing necessity. He got the di'
n pensation, and that afternoon Miss Mar
1t Ann, spinister, became Mrs. Robert Towr
ng send and the mistress of the manor. Whe
ew the original Mrs. Townsend got back frol
las New York there was an earthquake, bl

'il- Loughlin that Father Tim had imposed {
