Henrietta Goes With Her Brother.

Yesterday afternoon Martha NJ. Martin of the
House OF the Good shepherd appeared at the
Equity Court room with Henrietta Sanford in
obedience to writ Of habeas corpus issued by
Justice Bradley. At the conclusion Of the
routine business of the court at O'Clock the
case was called. Mr.. Chase Roys appeared for
George W. Sanford, the brother of the girl who
was present with his wife and child; the
superioress sat with Henrietta. who now and
then spoke to her little niece. Before the case
was heard Mr.. Sanford had been allowed con-
ference with his sister. Mr.. Roys stated that il
had been said that the girl desired to remain in
the institution, but they had not had an oppor-
tunity to talk with her unless in the presence
Of a sister, and he suggested that then she
was intimidated, or at least influenced. Being
Of age, the only question was to her desires
The girl said she was not detained
Mr.. Roys asked that the court question her
privately.
The superioress handed the court paper
showing the date Of entry and stating that she
was not detained against her will.
The justice went into the consultation room
with the girl and the petitioner and in Ave min.
utes returned and said he was not satisfied that
the was there Of her own free will. inasmucb
as she had not been committed by legal au-
thority and was over twenty, and he ordered
her discharge. As soon as the proper order
was drawn and signed the girl left with her
brother.

On an Atlantic steamer bound for
New York, few years ago, the usual
entertainment for the benefit OF the
Liverpool Seamen' S Orphanage was pro-
iected, says It'd BITS. There happened
to be on board a good many "profes-
sIonals, actors and singers, who all
promised to take part except one. He
kept aloof, and stubbornlY declined to
assist.
AS he was the person most desired
every effort was made to change his
mind. and the committee of arrange
ments at last applied to Mr.. Barnum
twho was a passenger), and begged
him to labor with the reluctant singer.
Mr.. Barnum undertook the mission,
and, after stating the case and making
his appeal, somewhat to MS surprise
the young man at once assented.
Il refused all these people, " said he,
and | dislike exceedingly to teke part
in this sort of entertainment; but if you
ask me, Mr.. Barnum, | cannot decline.
am glad to do anything that will
please you.
Mr.. Barnum felt much complimented,
but protested little, when the man
continues:
you did me a great favor once, Mr..
Barnum, and have never forgotten it.
You may not recall it, but am under
great obligations to YOU
sWhy?" hesitated the great show
man. Il must confess that | don't
recall don't remember any circum-
stance; and yet your face is familiar.
