Terrible Effects Of Drunken
ness.


Yesterday afternoon q gentleman
living in an aristocTatie portion Of
Second street set out to search for
his wife, who had been absent from
home since Saturday. Going into
the row Of huts located between
Walnut and Madison and East and
Floyd streets, be was filed with
unutterable anguish at finding her
in one Of those dirty huts, occupied
only by cOlofed people, and evident
ly very much intoxicated. All Of
his efforts to induce her to return
home and to the six living children
with which their marriage has besn
blessed, were unavailing. The wO-
man entreated to be let alone, or
else be permitted to go where she
would never behold his face again.
She had on her person the sum Of
three hundred dollars, which she
stated would take her where she
pleased. A carriage was sent to
the door, and an officer, whose as
sistanee was required, went Into the
house and finally persuaded her to
return to the home which she had
not seen, and perhaps had not thO't
of, since Saturday. She was placed
in the carriage, and, in company
with the officer, went back to her
family, but not without imploring
to be allowed to go anywhere else.
The appearance Of the woman Is
prepossessing in every respect
above the average size, she is splen-
didly formed, and in afHuent eir-
eumstanees. What motive there Is
for this woman's strange and dis
| graceful conduct cannot even be
guessed. This adds yet another hor-
ror to the long list Of crimes from
drunkenness. Here is a woman Of
personal beauty, high pOsitiOn-a
mother surrounded by her children
dragged down below the level Of
brute, and involving in her fall
husband, children and loving friends.
And all for what? Let who VIII,
answer.-[Louisville Commercial.

The sin of poor Alice Bowlsby is cutting a
wide swath of desolation. Her family-the
mother and two younger daughters-are suf-
fering that intense grief that refuses to be
comforted, and one of her lovers-Walter
Conkling, the son of Paterson alderman.
yesterday deliberately committed suicide.
Whether he is the one who ruined Alice and
brought her to such a miserable ending
remains to be shown at the Coroner's inquest
which commences to-day. The name of an
other gentleman friend of Alices-one Tripp-
is mentioned in connection with the woe that
befeil her; but he has disappeared, and his
whereabouts is not known. The inquest of
to-day will doubtless divulge all the facts
in the matter, and present nara
tive so much more strange than any
conceivable fiction that it ought to prove
an ever present warning against the commits
sion Of the one crime that carries such terrible
woe in its wake. There can be but one ver-
dict rendered. Alice Bowlsby came to her
death by cruel malpractice at the lands of Dr.
Ascher, alias DR.. Rosenzweig. Whatever
formal links are to be supplied to complete
the legal chain of evidence, that fact is firmly
established in the minds Of all the people of
this city who have ordinary intelligence. Now
what is TO be done with DIR. Rosenzweig?


Already we have indications that lawyers
quibbles and cunning counsels fence will not
be wanting to aid him. A motion for writ
Of habeas corpus was presented and granted in
his behalf yesterday, requiring that he be pro-
duced this morning before Judge Sutherland,
in the Supreme Court Chambers, when, no
doubt, an effort will be made to have him re-
leased on bail. 1t is not likely that he can be
released even on heavy bail, in the present
state of public excitement; but it is evident
from the motion that no stone will be left un-
turned to save him from the vengeance of the
law. We have precedent to be found among
the stone quarres at Sing Sing for his incar-
ceration at hard labor, but none for his execu-
tion, although his deliberate attempt to spirit
away the body and to hide the effect of his
malpractice may put new and more tangible
aspect of wlful murder in the eyes of the law
upon this most horrifying case

The National Assembly of France is sadly
in need of harmony. The appeal OF NJ.
Picard yesterday was indeed well timed, and,
it is to be hoped, not made in vain. Patriotic
Frenchmen must blush to contemplate such
violent scenes as took place in the Assembly
the day before yesterday. The remainder of
the preamble investing the National Assembly
with constituent powers has been adopted.
1t is well that this vexed question should have
been settled one way or another, for further
suspense would have impeded legislation and
the machinery of the government.


But those who think that NJ Gambetta will
abide by the decision of the majority are pro-
badly mistaken. Nothing is further removed
from the fiery, unruly temper Of the ex-Dicta-
tor of France than meek submission, and he
will set all his influence to work to accomplish
the dissolution of the Chamber. Nor is he
likely to be over-scrupulous as to the means of
carrying out this object. 1t is already reported
that the Deputies of the Left will resign in
body. If this news be true the resolution has
probably been originated by Gambetta. The
question of the prolongation of NJ. Theirs
powers seems to be progressing toward sat-
isfactory solution, if we are to Judge from the
tone Of the conservative organs in Paris and
the fact that motion eulogizing the conduct
of M. Theirs was carried by an overwhelming
majority.

THE WoMAN's RIGHTS MOVEMENT has ex-

monotony of the news is relieved to-
day by the highly interesting announce
ment that the Governor Of st. Vincent, being
champion of woman's rights, has appointed
a Madame Cheeky regular General" of the
army. The Governor cannot be serious about
the matter He is probably man addicted
to fun and practical joking. Thus, in one of
his ironical moods, he might have entrusted
Madame with that highly important military
command, just to see how far it is possible to
carry the joke Of the thing.

these confined buildings are In the main re-


sponsible for it. The avenues leading to the
Brooklyn and Jersey City and Hoboken fer
ries are through the markets, choked up with
stalls and booths, leaving only narrow
passageway along the sidewalks for pedes-
trians If Washington and Fulton Markets
could be replaced by new buildings, such as
those which are the pride of Philadelphia,
while the market accommodations were sup
plemented by houses for the same purposes at
the foot of Canal and other streets, tue crowds
down town would not be so great, while the
unhealthy atmosphere of Vesey or Fulton
street could be avoided. A huge fire, licking
up the sheds which are the disgrace and the
curse of the metropolis, is the constant prayer
of many of our citizens. This is blessing
not to be expected, for these buildings are too
wretched even to burn. Our only hope is in
the Board of Health, and, charged as are the
members Of that body with caring for the
health of the city, they cannot disregard their
duty. In the end they will be compelled to
close these markets as the nurseries of dis
ease; and if they are bold enough to take the
HERALD's advice and do it now they will con-
fer lasting benefit upon the metropolis. In
year or two not only would epidemics grow
ing out of uncleanlness no longer threaten
us, but we should have markets that would be
an honor to the city. 1t is a matter of the
gravest Importance whether this thing shall be
done now, or whether we are to await the
coming calamity which will compel it.


The question for the Board of Health is
simple one-Can the markets, by clearing away
the stalls from the sidewalks and by proper
renovation, be made sufficiently clean not to
generate disease? If an affirmative answer
can be made to this, then let it be done at
once; but if the response is in the negative,
as we fear it will be, then let us close up the
pest houses till we can build new markets.

know whether Mr. Selby would accept the

mayoralty of this city simply as matter of
duty. Perhaps like consideration would
have weight with him in the case of the

1t is not necessary to say one word about
his official career as Mayor of this city
That speaks for itself lie is an earnest

Enterprises of various kinds attest his sa-
gacity and usefulness. He is building a
Swansea here, and enlarging the fields Of
labor. His record is the record of glowing
furnaces, putting smoke-stacks, contented
and well-paid industry and prosperity II
is by such men that the foundations OF

Colonel Forney writes in the Washing
ton Sunday Chronicle:


David c. Broderick, of California, was
in some respects remarkable character.
Born in the District of Columbia, in 1878
and killed in a duel in September of 1859,
his short career was a succession of strange
events. Twenty. five years of it were spent
in New, Y ork in the rudest scenes, and more
than ten among the turbulent men who
then, as now, dominated that great city. OF
these he became the early and the imper-
ious leader-a leader blindly followed and
blindly obeyed. But he never fell into
their habits of dissipation, and perhaps his
unbroken command over them resulted
from his silent and sober nature. The
foreman of a fire company and the keeper
OF saloon, he never lost his dignity, but
would retire to his books whenever he had
moment of leisure


The last time I saw Broderick
was one night in April, 1859, at the corner
of Sixth and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia,
where he took the omnibus to the New
York depot, intending to sail in few days
for San Francisco The shadow of his fate
was upon him. He was much depressed

For U. S. G.-We are for Grant once
more. We feel that he has won the posi-
ton for another term by his honesty and
in consequence of his strict integrity. He
took hold of a wreck, debauched by the
weak policy of Andrew johnson, and re-
formed the government. Since his 6rst
day everything has shown brighter. The
currency, which was almost worthless, sud
denly rose and has gradually assumed a
position almost equal to gold, and this
alone gives evidence that the people have
confidence in him. He has faithfully exc
cuted the laws and placed and placed the
country in prosperous condition. Time
may bring change, but it looks now as
though it would be madness for the people
to even desire it change.
