T. $. ALTHEIMER.
A Few Words Concerning Those Dispositions Published
 Yesterday.

The GRAPHIC of yesterday, publish cd a number of dispositions in the Al- theimer divorce suit, now before a St. Louis court, taken from the St. Louis Star.
 Only a lew of the many dispositions taken. favorable to the young man, were published, but those which rendered to place him in an unfavor- able light were given full publicity.
 The writer has known l.. >. AL theimer ever since he wore knee brooches, and we know that more generous, better hearted young man never lived. 1t is true that he drinks and gambles-but not to excess and sad be it to state, there are very few young men inPine Bluff who are not addicted to these same vices. In this respect young Altheimeris no worse than his sneigh- bors. and his general character can by no means be clasaed as bad He wouId share his last dollar with a friend, and his temper is of the mil dest.
 The dispositions taken were from men who have used their wiles to lure young Altheimer to his ruin, and some of them have time and time again lured him to their gambl- ing houses for the purpose of induc- ing him to drink and gamble SD that they could win the money with which he was usually bountifully supplied.
 Those who know him, and nearly everybody in Pine Bluff docs, will never credit the report that he ever abused his wife. 1t is not in his nature to do so.
 When at himself and out of his cups, the young man is q polished and refiLed gentleman and shows the good blood which courses through his veins.
 These remarks, we conceive to be due to Mr. Altheimer, and W ere writ ten to follow the dispositions pulp lished yesterday, but from q cause unavoidable were left over until to- day.
 Tie writer also knows of the incl dent in which he is charged by q Levy and Portis as gambling off his wearing apparel. This was purely q joke and was done in spirit of fun, and the men who swore to the fact knew that it was joke and that the neck tie was gambled for purely out of sport. It took place about six years ago, when he was but a youth.
 Mir. i. W. Sanders. teller of the Bank of Pine Bluff deposeth and sayeth, concerning Altheiner as fol- lows:
 How long have you resided in Pine Blun?''
 Eighteen years.
 Do you know | $ AItheimer?"
