EnOch Arden in Real Life.

-
MRS. BoETTGER IN NEW HAVEN.
From the New Work Sun.
The suicide of Mrs. Johanna Boettger in New
Haven, Conn.,, recently, recalls roman tic
story of her early life that is a counterpart of
TennysOn's 'Enoch Arden" In 184S. when
Johanna was a maiden, she was as pretty as a
pink, and in her circle was a belle. One day
there sailed into the harbor Spanish man-of-
war, and the sailors obtained leave to go ashore,
Some of them attended dance one night where
pretty johanna was queen, and one of the
sailors, Jacinto Casariego, fell in love with her.
After brief courtship the young sailor and
Johanna became engaged, and when his vessel
left he promised to return again, quit the sea,
and marry her. A year or more rolled around
aud Johanna remained true to her Spanish
lover. Then his ship came into port again. and
his term of enlistment having expired he was
discharged and they were married.
Two years of welded bliss followed. and q
son was born to Jacinto and Johanna. Then
the young Spaniard longed for the sea again.
and finally he packed his chest. went to New
York, and enlisted on board Spanish man-of-
war, then lying in the harbor. Time rolled on
Johanna, with her baby boy, heard nothing
from her husband. Time had dealt lenientiS
with her, and her maiden charms had ripened
into womanly beauty that drew many admirers
around her. Among them was Herr Boettger.
He pleaded long time. but she was not sure
her nrSt husband was dead. ana. though she
favored the honest, earnest German wooer, she
would not marry him until certain length of
time had passed. That time came, and the
steadfast devotion of Herr Boettger was re-
warded. They were married and several chill
dren blessed the union.
Ten years passed. and one night while the
family were at supper a handsome-looking
man in the uniform OF Spanish naval officer
appeared before them. Herr Boettger was as
founded as he saw the mother OF his children
fall into the arms of the sailor and he cover her
face with kisses. Recovering, Mrs. Boettger,
or Casariego, explained matters to both hus-
hands The first husband was astounded but
he renounced all legal claims to his wife, and
after stay of a few days he went away. His
son, the young Jacinto, had been well cared
for by the stepfather, and his own father left
with the promise to do something for him.
Nothing more was ever seen of him by his wife.
He remembered his son, however, and as he rose
step by step until he became a commodore in
the Spanish navy, he from time to time made
remittances to his son for his education and
support. Young Jacinto was q fast youth him.
self and soon spent his money. When the re-
mittances stopped on the death of the old COM
modore few years ago, he opened a saloon in
Sandy Hollow. He married q respectable girl,
who, few months ago, eloped with younger
man. taking 81, 900 Of her husbands savings.
1t was the action of this daughter-in-law that
worried Mrs. Boettger into insanity and drove
her to commit suicide.

ing, became @ highly esteemed Episcopal clergyman. He was totally deprived of sight the last four years of his life and died in this city quite recently. Charles Ives about six years of age, but was a famous scholar in arithmetic. On visiting days, when visitors were admitted to examine the progress of the scholars, he was always shown off as a prodigy in figures on the black boards. Star Hamilton, monitor general of order, time and place, was of rather small stature, but very bright genius. He died rather young. He was cashier of bank. The late Rev. Edward E. Atwater was one of the scholars when some six or seven years of age. I should have mentioned that Mir. Lowell himself always opened the school in the morning with reading chapter in the Bible. The monitors all wore badges sus- pended from their necks with ribbons. They were of pssteboerd, covered with red rnoroc- co, with the names of the office printed with gilt letters on their face. At the end of each quarter there were public exhibitions held in the large audience room of the church above. There was as much interest and excitement over these exhibitions throughout the town as there ever has been since over some of the great reformers and actors that have come along. There was an admission fee of ten cents and twenty five cents to pay expenses, and that large room was always packed and jammed. The
 
 trained by MT. Lowell. recolleet among the best speakers were Charles Smith, son of the late U. S. Senator Nathan Smith, of this city, B. M. Sherman, afterward asmerchant in New York, Edward Dunning, Congregational minister many years, and others don't distinctly recollect about, but the great life and soul and center of the exhibition was the above named Sidney Smith tall, very sober appearing person. Nobody would have dreamed he was such great genius and comedian as he was. In the lengthy dialogues in which he took part he always drought down the house." He was famous throughout the town. Many would come in from the towns around to attend these exhibitions. I think they were held several evenings in succession. MT. Lowell had been pupil of Joseph Lancaster in Eng land, the originator of this system. He was "Quaker'' or friend" as they style them selves. MT. Lowell is the author of several school books that have had a great run. When he came to New Haven at about 25 he looked to be only some IS or 20 years of age. He was so lively and sprightly and full of lite. Take him all in all, as teacher, gem tleman and friend he was perfect, as we say.

In Memorial.

"Entered into rest, Jane A. Sherman" So reads the notice, and so indeed it is. Af- ter long life of devotion to the highest Christian principle she has gone on to the great beyond, to her reward. Across her quiet life fell many deep shadow of sorrow which was always borne with resignation. Her religion was to her a constant comfort, and for more than half a century the church has known her as a communicant. Her rule of life and closely followed purpose was per feet uprightness-a kind word of sympathy for those in trouble, @ cheery smile for the happy, an earnest word for those who sought advice. To those who knew her the con- cluding lines of Bryant's Thanatopsis will appeal. -''Sustained and soothe1,
