usual, coming well to the fore. The rever-
end Doctor Is great lover Of music and
flowers; he knows how to make them ap-
peal to the popular heart. A simple pansy
or a crimson azalia will furnish him staple
material for a sermon that will reach around
the world. So Easter, Christmas, New
Years and THANKSGIVING are always great
days at the Tabernacle.
A strange case occurred In Brooklyn this
week which has set the town talking. A
very respectable young woman had young
man arrested for assault, and he was safely
lodged behind prison bars The lady was
handsome, well dressed and refined, and
the man was the most brutal, dirty, besott-
ed kind of a tramp. Then the tramp claim
ed the woman as his wife, and the woman
repudiated the claim. When brought into
Court face to face the woman dropped on
the floor like a shot, and IL was sometime
before the trial could go on. When Il did
proceed the most extraordinary state Of af-
fairs was shown ever heard In PoliceCourt.
1t appears the parties met several years ago
and the girl ran ava from home with this
young man, who then occupied a yer, good
position, and lived with him as his wife.
After a time she returned 10 her fathers
house and introduced him as her husband,
and the couple lived with her parents ever
a year, the young man doing nothing to
support his wife. Suddenly when compell-
ed TO leave OF work he informed her parents
| that he had never married their daughter
and left. Then he sought to compel her to
| live with him, assaulting her in the streets,
and wherever she got employment to sup
port herself and child, he denounced her
| TO her employers as an improper person,
and told the story of her shame. Finally,
maddened by his cowardly prosecutions, she
had him arrested, and Notwithstanding his
offer to marry her she landed him in the
penitentiary.
As the owner of finest trotting stock
Robert Bonner. the modest owner of the
New York Ledger and Maud S., has no
equal in the United States, If in the world.
l saw him at the Tracy sale last week, an
interested spectator, when one hundred
head were sold belonging to the Secretary
of the Navy for STA, 600; the highest price
being six thousand dollars for prize stall
ion, which was purchased by Schultz the
baker. Several times during the sale l
| thought Bonner was going to take flyer,
but if he did he managed 1t so well that
| nobody saw him bid. Ten minutes after
Shultz the baker secured his prize for six
| thousand dollars, he was offered nine thous-
and for his bargain but declared that twelve
thousand would not buy him. whereat the
| Secretary of the Navy looked decidedly blue.
Husbands, do not watch your wives too
closely; have little confidence. Don't
think that you are all right and that they
are all wrong, or ifyou do you may paw for / t
as John Zehner did the other day in
Brooklyn. John has young and a very
pretty wife, and Johns wife had never been
to theatre in her life, and looking at the
great big posters on the fences was seized
with an uncomfortable desire to go, but like
good wife she asked her husbands con-
sent and fifty cents; like the savage that he
was, John said no. He started oins &c work
and Maria put on her bonnet and made
bee line for the Novelty Theatre, but before
she reached it her heart failed her, and like
the good obedient wife that she was she
went back home. John ran down the
street suspecting that she would not obey
his orders and hid under stoop near the
theatre so as to see her go in. A police
man caught sight of him and dragged him
out, arrested him for a sneak thief and
John spent all night in the cells, and was
discharged the next morning a verJ repent
ant man. John says be was a fool, and
Maria perfectly conceded in that opinion.
He says she can go to balyhack now, but
he will never watch her again. Right yon
are, John; stick to that. What's the mat
ter with Mariap She's all rightl Who's
all right? Maria! BROADBRIM.
