FLAME OF LOVE REKINDLED.
A Divorced Couple From Waukesha For
get the Past and Reunite.

WAUKEsHA. Dec. 15.-Gossips here are
talking of nothing now but the second
marriage of Addison Ressiguie and his
wife, who were divorced here about four
months ago. Mrs. Rcssiguie left here a
few weeks ago in response to a tender
letter from her former husband, and now
comes the information that the twain were
married by a Cincinnati justice of the
peace. The story of this separation and
consequent union, if fully told would
equal in romance the Celebrations of Rider
Haggard. backing but little to the usual
tragic incidents.
According to statements from the wife,
and from letters of the husband to mutual
friends, the couple had never ceased to
love each other Each perhaps had been
at times a tritle frivolous, but the old af-
fiction held in spite of seeming estrange-
ment. Both the wife and the husband
were the victims of gossip, and for the
time at least, believed all the reports,
malicious and otherwise. Severe pressure
was brought to bear on Mrs. Ressiguie,
inducing her to take action for a legal
separation, which she probably would
never had done had she been left to her
own better impulses. To the charges
preferred against Mr. Ressiguie no defence
was made by him. but that both regret the
separation is proven by their recent action.
Mr.. Ressiguie holds lucrative position
in Cincinnati. where the united family
will make their home. Both have many
friends In Waukesba.

JOHN DILLON SPEAKS.
The Celebrated Irishman Is Utterly Dis
gusted With Parnen's Methods.

New YORK, Dec. l5.-Mr. Dillon ha,
issued lengthy letter 10 the press as tC
the more recent events in Ireland. He
SAYS be has been from the first strongly
opposed to any personally offensive at
tacks on Parnell, although it must be adj
mitted that the cruelty unjust charges he
has levelled against the members of his
party and the extraordinary methods by
which he has sought to suppress all ex-
preston of opinion hostile to himself
renders it very difficult for his oppo-
nents to maintain an attitude
of moderation. Dillon deprecates in
strong terms some of the language which
has been used in Ireland on both sides,
the past few days. Referring again to the
attacks on Gladstone and Morley he says
that he is convinced that there is not a
shadow of foundation for the charges
made against them. Charges which
would never have been imagined much
less uttered, y says he, but for the 0 Shea
diverse case and Gladstone's letter. Dill
lon speaks of the charges against Glad
stone and Morley as a gross and monstrous
insult. Dillon says that his reli-
ance for a satisfactory character
of the home rule bill has always
been, not on the pledges of any English
statesman, but on the honesty and indie.
pendence of the Irish party, and above all
ON the unity of the national feeling of the
Irish race He still has hopes that the
conference between 0'Brien and Parnell
may result in restoring unity; but in the
meantime Parne has plunged Ireland in
to a conflict which wrings the heart OF
every Irishman with pain and humilia-
ton. He has done it for personal
end, and Dillon feels bound to say
that since he has commenced bis Irish
campaign Parnell has used language and
done acts revolving to every free born man,
and if he Dillon could meet Parnell in
Ireland he should tell him that unless he
fit leader for nation aspiring to be free.
Dillon in closing strongly appeals to the
people in Ireland notwithstanding the
provocation not to forget the respect due
Parnell for his past mighty work.
