NEW YORK, January ia breach Of
promise ofmarriage case, in which the dam
ages are put down at 100000, was begun
before Judge Ingrshsm in the Supreme
Court here to-day. The plaintiff is Miss
Caroline j. Cammerer, the g. -year-old daugh-
ter of Robert Cammerer, of Phil
adelphia. She is handsome, and
her interests are being looked
after by Daniel Dougherty. The defendant
is Clemens Muller, a retired real estate
dealer, a man of family who lives on Sixty
first street, near Third avenue. He is about
90 years of age, and prominent member Of
the LisaerkranE Society. Colonel Robert
g. Ingersoll is his counsel.
The plaintiff testified that she was born
in moderate circumstances, but at the age OF
10 years she developed great musical talent,
and studied music and the languages
abroad.
HEB STORY OF THE CoURTsHIP.
She met the defendant at Philadelphis in
October, 1885, for the first time. When she
came to New York he met her on her ar
rival and escorted her to the house of her
friend, Mrs. Farley, on Twenty-second
street. They went to various places Of
amusement, and went out TO walk together.
During 9 ramble in Central Park,
he proposed to her. Referring to the diff
ference in their ages, be said his heart was
still young, and that be had an income of
SIS, 900 year and would keep her in lux
ury. She gave him no decision then, but on
the 17Lh Of December, 1885, at Philadel-
phis, he again proposed, and she accepted
him.
Soon afterward she learned that he had a
Wifein an asylum. In answer to her de-
mand for an explanation he said he would
get divorce, and later on himself and his
counsel assured her father that the divorce
had been obtained In Indiana. She offered
TO release him from his engagement, but he
went on to Philsdelphia and pressed her to
become his wife more srdently than ever.
INTRODUCED AS HIS BETRoTHED.
In July of 1886, at Rhinebeck, he intro
duced her as his betrothed, and soon after
ward they came to New York to make pur-
chsses for the wedding. He 80 urged her to
hasten the ceremony that she became i'll,
and when she recovered he proposed q mock
marriage, which she Indignantly rejected.
He never returned to see her since then,
though be wrote to her several times. These
are the allegations of the plaintiff. The de-
fendant denies them in toto. Colonel Inger-
sell asked for dismissal Of the case on the
ground that she relieved him from his en-
gSgement. The motion was denied and the
case viii be continued tomorrow.

Frogs Tor Market.

Mr.. Stevens owns several acres of land
adjoining the city of st. Joseph, Mich, on
the south. Through the farm runs large
ravine, at the head of which are never
failing springs of pure water. At some
distance below the springs are located his
frog ponds-three in number. Water is
supplied to the ponds through pipe from
a large, deep lake formed by dam placed
across the ravine near the springs. The
largest of the ponds is well filled with lily
pads, Canada bog moss and other varieties
of water plants said to be essential to the
life of the frog. The smaller ponds are
fringed with these plants, while the centers
are kept comparatively clear. Mr.. Stew
ems estimates that there are now no less
than 100000 tadpoles, polywogs and small
frogs in the three ponds, and his statement
is undoubtedly correct, as the bottoms Of
the ponds are literally covered with
these peculiar-looking little fellows.
These will be ready for the market early
next summer, and will bring anywhere
from 81 % to 50 a dozen.

Almost all monkeys which one sees in

quinine. The whole region is marshy
and covered with extremely profuse trop-
ical vegetation. At night there arises
thick vapor, laden with fever, which
hangs over the woods like cloud.
This region of wood is the paradise of
the monkeys. They travel in troops
around the woods, led by an older monkey
When the people receive the information
that the travelling monkey troops" are
near the village they repair to the woods
in crowds in chase of them. Their plan
Is very simple They cut hole in a cocoa
nut large enough for a monkeys paw. The
nut Is then followed out, and piece of
sugar is placed in it. A piece of string is
then fastened to it and it is placed in the
road Of the approaching monkeys 1t is
known that monkeys are very 'nquisitive
animals. Soon enough they see the ''lone-
some" cocoanut in the grass and hurry to
examine it thoroughly It is a curious
sight to see how they climb from the trees,
chattering, to take good view of the con-
Germ.
It does not take them long to find out
that the inner part contains a piece of
sugar. One of the boldest and greediest
sticks paw into the nut to get the sugar,
and grasps it as tightly as he can. But mis-
fist is so large that he cannot draw it out
of the hole again with the sugar, which he
holds fast to, cost what it may. The ne
groes now pull the string until nut and
monkey arrive in the vicinity of their am
buscade In the meantime the other mon
keys wonder what is the matter with their
eomrade They hurry to see where he is
being pulled to with his paw in the cocoa
nut. They crowd around him, chattering
and gesticulating to their hearts content.
Now the great moment has come. The
negroes have large net ready, and they
spread ii out over the unsuspecting mon
keys, and before they know it they are
prisoners. They are sold to the employees
Of the Panama Railroad, and reach the
North American market through the COM
mercial dealers.
