FLORENCE ST. JOHNS SUIT.

She Wants a Divorce, Alleging Cruelty
 and Infidelity.
 LONDON, Dec. 7.-London is having q surfeit of separ ation and divorce cases The Russell case is no sooner ended than the scene shifts, revealing further mari tai infelicities
 This time, however, the parties in- volved dc not belong to the peerage, but are we'll known to the theatre goi ing public of England and the United States.
 The parties to this latest suit are Miss Florence St. John, the actress, ant Du- plany Marius, and the charges made against the latter are the only ones upon which an absolute divorce can be ob- tained in England, namely cruelty and infidelity.
 Miss St. John charges that since her marriage to the defendant hs has treated her in g most cruel manner
 Sir Charles Russell, who so success fully conducted the suit for Earl Rus sell, is one of the leading counsel in the present case, but this time he represents the fair petitioner. He had just begun the opening of the case when MT. Gill, for the respondent, int errupted thed si- tinguished counsel, saying that he was instructed to admit that M. Marius had broken this marriage VOW a year after his wife, Miss St. John, had left him.
 "Thsn," said Sir Charles Russell, "the story is admitted. and the question remains as to whether tho cruelty she has been subjected to entitled her to Q decree in her favor"
 Counsel then told how and when the actress as married to her first hus- band St. John, since dead, and detailed her subsequent union to her second hus- band, 8 MT. Smith.
 Counsel then showed that Miss St. John had committed adultery with M. Marius, who was m arried and then en. gagged at the Strand Theater, and that MT. Smith had, in consequence, obtained 8 decree from her. These legal proceed ings caused Mme Marius to bring 8 suit for divorce against her husband, whicE petition was granted. M. Marius ano Miss St. John were then married. But, | said counsel, they soon quarrelled and l Miss St. John became i'll. M. MariuS he said, neglected his wife and was most cruel to her. In order to support her self and child, Miss St. John had to ac- cepr an engagement at the Strand l Theater, for her husband M. Marius refused to contribute a penny to theil | maintenance.
 Continuing, counsel said that M Marius frequently roughly pushed hi. wife, slapped her face, and borrowed her money to redeem jewelry placed 1T 1 pawn.
 Under cross examination Miss St John said that she was only fourteen and a-half years old when she was first married. She was then tray cling with "Pepper's Ghost" company; MT. Smith, she said, was alive, and 1T reply to another question remarked that she knew M. Marius for two year before she coha bited with him.
 Questioned regarding her relations with MT. Arthur Cohen, Miss St. JOhl said that she met that gentle man a Brighton, at Monte Carlo, and also a Lady Euston's
 l Here the case adjourned.

Mexico by heartily adopting the country and managing his wife's estates admir- ably. He is great swell when he comes to the capital, but he spends the larger part of his time on some one or other of his immense haciendas. His wife is dead, and Dona Zarifa, whom you have just seen, is sole heiress of one of the greatest estates in Mexico"
 "Fate has given her too much," said Derwent. "Such beauty, and the for tune of a princess!'
 "But you must agree that the beauty and the fortune are well matched. She looks like princess, besides being dow cred as few princesses are. Be sure the men who hope to marry her would not have the least charm lessened," he added with laugh.
 ''Some women should never marry" said Derwent decidedly. "That girl is one of them. She looks too regal, too fine, to stoop to any man of ordinary mold, and men of extraordinary mold do not abound"
 "Most of those in sight would differ with you," said Morell ''Did you ever know man who thought himself of mold too ordinary for any woman to SOOOp DOub ZIdIlld AdS SulUO1S to spare, and, unless she is very unlike other women, she would not dispense with one of them"
 "Her looks are deceptive if she is not unlike other women," said Derwent. ''I should like to glance into the future and see what she will make of the gifts fortune has showered on her so lavish ly-what part she will play in the world; but probably I should only be disap- pointed if did"
 ''Not doubt of it," said MoreI. "A man is always disappointed when a | woman whom he admires has the bad taste to marry another man. l have heard that Dona Zarifa will probably marry her kinsman, Senor Cardella; that | will restore the estates to the family. Now let me suggest that it is time for lunch, and that we had better go and secure table at the Cafe Anglais or the Concordia before the crowd comes in.' Every well," said Derwent, rising. He was a strangely strung, fastidious being, and the last item of information about the dark eyed princess had taken from him the desire to finger for another | glimpse of her.

 CHAPTER l.
 Derwent sat down on a stone bench and looked about him with a sense of satisfaction akin to delight. And it was indeed delightful place into which he had wandered-a place of broad ave nues, shaded by immense trees, dividing pleasances full of the most enchanting greenness, where feathery shrubs and banks of emerald sward, hedges of ge- ranium and rose, and masses of Nile lilies, with wide green leaves and white, golden hearted chalices of bloom, were all sparkling with diamond drops from the water lately and lavishly showered upon them. The avenues, clean swept as a palace floor, were also damp from the spray that had fallen over them, and their leaf shaded vistas led from all directions to circular spaces, where foun- tains played in the midst of great basins, or groups of statuary stood on pedestals of green grass sown with daisies. Over head was sky of sapphire, cloudless and exquisite, from which the sun poured golden light, but with the light no heat only such balmy warmth as may have reigned in the garden of Paradise while the atmosphere was crisp, clear, stlmu- lating, and full of charm as impossible to describe as the aroma of rose.
 The young man who found himself for the first time in this lovely garden-the Alameda of the City of Mexico-had seen all of the worlds most famous pleasure grounds; but he said to himself as he lay back in his shade arched seat, that there was something here which pleased the eye and the fancy, wakened the imagination, and charmed the senses to degree that no spot which he had ever seen could surpass. For the spell was the spell of Mexico herself-Mexico, with her shadowy history of past em- pires and vanished races, her traditions of ancient splendor, her marvellous con- quest, her picturesque people, and her aspect of Europe, the orient and the New World blended in whole of TO-
