Susie and the baby. nt.re could take care of, she knew; butAnJy. .since he had grown to the dignity nf a schooibov. was not as tractable in tlie nursery as he once was, and nurse had more Eatience with babies and little girls than she ad for a nouy. restless schoolboy of eleven. However, the doctor said uiannna must go, and leave them all at home. So papa ha 1 Carried her otT. almost against her will. Andy made so many promises to be good and mind nurse that she was persuaded that he mean to keep his word. And so he did. Hut nurse was unreasonable, and no boy likes to be called off from making a kite to run errands. Such "confounded"' lon ones. ' too (the adjective is Andy's own I should have 9aiJ very Ion?). Then, upon his return, ' when be was only nuking paste for the be ' loved kite, to have it snatched away from him! True, he was mixing it in a cut-glass gobxet; but w oat matter.' One glass wtt as good . as another: indeed, if it had been handy, he would have preferred a tin cup. Altogether he was a much abused boy! If "it were not for mamma he would have serious thoughts of running awav. What a lark: it would be to have old uursev flyin around. with her cap strings floating in the air, drumruin' ur neighbors to hunt for Masler Andv! "I wish I was not a boy. IJoys have the hardest time of anything in creation! I don't want to be a nimiry, pimiry, fol-de-rol ot a girl either! 1 wish 1 were a bird: they don't .have to ruind. e?, Id even like to be a liornet' Look at that chap, hunting dies over there! lie has no nurse, and I'll bet does just as he has a mind to." Thee word-, uttered aloud, were scarcely OUt of the little boy's mouth, when, wonderful to relate, the very hornet he had been enTying Hew up to him and said: "Would you really like to be one of m? Hemember a hornet's life is not one of idle ness. He must work hard for his living, like all the rest of the Master's creatures. Think before you decide.'' 'I)o you have nurses?" 'No.'Then IJ1 be hornet!" How Strange! At once he f.jlt himself growing smaller and smaller Sowyes, he could fly! It was a delightful sensation to feel himself floating through the air. "Buzz! buzz!"' went the hornet. S it would have sounded the day before. Now Andy knew he said, "Come with me, and I'll introduce you to the other hornets." 80, off they went, further down toward the ptach orchard. There the family had built themselves a very curious house. It served a.i a temporary lodging house for themselves, and was the place where eggs were deposited, whence the hornets of the future sprang into life. . AnJy remembered looking at this house. from a distance, only a day or two before. Isow, to fly rieht into it was very funny! All the hornets came to look at hint. All buzzed and ,a!ked so fast that he could hard ly understand a word they saht H e was offe-ed a blue-bottled fly for refreshment, and as lie shrunk irom the prof fered dainty, they all buzzed loader than ev er. Later Iiis friend took him to a peach tree. and they regaled themselves on a np peach, which was much more to Andy taste. That night he slept on a limb of the same tree it seemed so stuffy in the hornet house. The next day all assembled in their house. and each received orders from the head of the colony. Each had to kill so many Hies and bring tbern home, to be stored up for the next generation of hornets. Some remained at home to put the finishing layer to their Jnouse. Andy was put among the latter, to learn their trade Hard work, too, it was. Beginning at early dawn to chew tip paper, moisten it with glue, and smooth it on the outride of the hornet house, was no joke. All day lotg he worked. No rest, ei ept two or three short visits to the teacb tree, to refresh himself. Then to see all the other hornets t ome home, each laden with a fly, sometimes only half dead, stul struggling in the grasp of its captor, was to Andy disgusting in the ex treme. Three or four days dragged wearily on and he was beginning to wish that he could le a loy azaiu, and run errand i. when one morning Andy was sent out with tue oilier?, to catch rues, lie flew with his old friend a little way and then they separated. Andy saw a large fly on a wimi'ow.'and made after it. The rly ttk refu se in tne house, and he flew in also. How familr that room lokei. It wa

the nursery yes. to bt-sure it was! There

as lue Daoy 111 tue cr:t. just tuen Muie said: "Oh, nurse! a horrid hornet!" Nurse was after him. Oh. dear! he should le killed right in his own home! "Buzz! Buzz!" Would they never un derstand? "Get out of this, you ras al!' cried nure. "I'll catch him, nurse, in my apron, and then kill him." "He'll sting you, Susie!"' "Buzz! Buzz" No. he wouldn't. He'd rather die than sting his own sifter. Just then, nurse made a dab with her apron. He screamed: "Don't vou know me?" and awoke to find nurse really standing over him, under the peach-tree. "Whv. Master Andv. did von ever t:o to sleep on the gras?.' 1 am afraid, you've caught your death of cold. Lome with me, and let me give you something hot " "Why. nurse,' Andy tries to explain, "I've been a liornet. I've been down in the orchard, sleeping in a tree over their nest ' Nurse tells him that she ha- been hunting frir him for hours, and was in dknair when he was discovered in the peach orchard Andy pes slowly home, too relieved to he a boy again to argue tlie matter with nurse. "To-be-sure, lie adds to himself, "boys do have a hard time, but hornets have a hard er." And he believes he would not change olaces with anv other of God's creatures, but stay on a boy till time changes him into a man. ICtnsud Will." A writer in the Evangelist tells of a boy who was Wise enough to decline the assistance which would have weakened him mentally and injured Iiis self-reliance. The story. which conveys its ow n moral, i as follows: I know a Ijov who was preparing to enter the Junior c lass of the New York University. He was studying trigonometry, and I gave him three examples for his next lesson. The following day he came into my room to demonstrate his problems. Two of them he understood, but ä third -a very difficult one- he had not performed. I said to him. "Miau 1 nelp you." "No, sir! 1 can and will do it. if you give me time." 1 said, "I will give you all the time you wish." The next day he came into my room to recite a lesson in the same study. "Well. Simon: have vou worked that example?'' "No, sir. he answered: nut 1 can and will do it, if you will give me a little more time." "Certainly, you shall have all the time ymi desire.' I always like these boys w ho are determined to do their own work, for they make our best scholars, and men too. The third morning you should !iave seen Simon enter my room 1 knew lie had it. for his whole fat e told the story of his success. Ye, he had it, notwithstanding it had cost him many hours of the .-everest mental labor. Not only had he solved the problem, but, nl.nl ivrni nf infinit lv rrn.ifAr i 111 I irtrf !TIP tfl him, he had begun tö develop mathematical powers, which, under the inspiration of "I can and I will," he has continued to culti vate, until to-day he is professor of mathematics in one 01 our largest olleires. and one of the ablcs mathematicians of hi? years in our country. Tfliat Will You B.? .Scholar's Companion..' We see two buys standing side by side. Both are inteligent looking and kind looking; hut one becomes an idle, shiftless fellow, and tlie other an influential and useful man. Perhaps when they were boys no one could have seen much difference between them; when they were men the contrast was marked. One became dissolute, tep -by step; the other became virtuous step by step; as one went up the other went down. It is a question of great moment What will you be? One determines lie will do right and improve his powers and opportunities to the utmost. He is industrious, learns his business, becomes a partner, or proprietor, and is known as a man of influence and Eower Another does not determine to be ad, but Is lazy, and neglects to improve his opportunities. He shirks work; he "fools around;" next he is seen with tobacco, and probably leer and whisky follow; his appearance shows he is unhealthy; he does not do this work well, he loses hi position, and becomes intemperate and probably a criminal. There are many to day who are Standing at the parting place. You can take one path and you will go down as sure as the sun rises. If you prefer hanging around a saloon to reading good books at home, then you are on the road to ruin. If you do not obey your parents, if you run away from school, if you lie. if you swear, you will surely go down in life If a boy steadily improves his time, tries to learn his business, obeys his father and mother, is truthful and -industrious, is respectful and pleasing toward others, he will succeed. No one can stop his doing well in lite He has determined that he will be a noblesecimen of a man. and every good person will help him. Scholar's Companion. A Tery Belt-Willed Horse. I Harper's Young People. There is an old nursery rhyme which teaches that kindness and patience are the best methods to pursue in the case of a "donkey that wouldn't go." An English gentleman relates that he. had a horse that "wouldn't go," but when he came to try the patience remedy, he found that the horse had a larger supply of virtue than he himself possessed, which, as will presently be seen, was considerable. The English gentleman's horse was a confirmed "balker.'' One Saturday afternoon, when he was returning in his dog cart, the horse balked.as it had often done before, and its master thought that this time he would try what calmness and patience would do. Accordingly he sat still in the dog cart, and addressed the animal in soothing tones and kindly words; but to no purpose. It was exactly ten minute's past four on Saturday afternoon when the horse stopped iu the middle of the road. The afternoon wore away, the sun sank below the horrizon, darkness settled down over the landscae, and yet the man and horse remained to fight out the battle between obstinacy and patience. Through the long night they staid there, the whip remaining quietly in the socket, and when the sun arose after his voyage around the world he found the contest still going 011. At six o'clock w the morning the owner bade his gr om fetch a cart rope and tie it to the horse's foreleg: but when the groom did so, and pulled with all his might, the only result was that the horse stood with his fore leg stuck out as if he were a bronze statue. At seven o'clock the horse became perfectly furious, seizing the shaft with his teeth, and shaking it, kicking andstamping with rage the while. At half past seven the groom tried to tempt him with a measure of oats, but the angry beast would have none of it, notwithstanding that it was twenlr hours Since he kad had a mouthful of food br a drop of water. Then his masU-r had to confers himself beaten in the trial of patience, and having procured some tough shoots of ground ash, he applied them to Mr. Horse's back so vigorously that that self-willed quadruped was obliged to confess himself beaten so far & his hide was concerned It was then twenty minutes before eight on Sunday morning, the contest having lasted fifteen honrs and a half, during which tlie horse did not budge an inch, nor his owner stir from his seat iu the carriage This is probably the most remarkable exhibition of obstinacy on the one side and of patience on the other that wa.i ever known, und the story as told here is exactly true. What's in a name? A family living in the country hired a new o clim.t 11. and his mime was Hobert. As both Uu gentiemau

Of the house and his eldest son were named Bobert.it was thought advisable, to avoid confusion, to call tiie ooacliman by his last name. Kobert had no objection to this plan, and was asked to state his surname. "Deary." said he. with a diabolical grin. The familr shudd-red. Think ol it. How would this sort of thing sound? Deary, come here a minute." "Have the carriage ready in half an hour. Deary." "How long I have been waiting for you. Deary!" The family resolved to stand by Bobert.

AN ANMllILAlOß OF LIFK. A Machine Which Kills Man Without Koiseor Pain Why lt Inventor Wae Refuted a Patent. New Haven. Conn., letter to the New York Times. A well-known Bridgeport Professor, who refuses to give his name, makes public the iacts concerning an engine which he calls the instant and noiseless annihilator of human life, which can be operated without detection, and which the I'nited States tJovernn:ent has just refused to patent for hint, because of its dangerous character, and from fear that :t will be used for nefarious purposes A reporter of tht Times visited this man to-day, and was shown the machine. "The principal objection to it," said the inventor, "on the part of the United States Patent Oflice was.I believe, the fact that they feared I was in league with belligerent Irishmen, and was seeking the protection of our CJovernment in the future work of killing oft' English members of Parliament who are hostile to the Iand Leaguers. "1 have no objection now to exhibit my invention. I have spent years upon it iii fact, it ha.-, taken all my leisure hours for nearly a decade; but as I rind I cau not be protet ted by patent, ami that my models and plans have been seen by many persons in Washington, and I cau prevent n one Irom using the same. 1 have no reason tor further secrecy." . The invention consists of a bra S3 belt, shining like gold and of line workmanship. It is forty two inches long by rive inches wide, and' is five-eighths of an inch thick. As the inventor took it up and turned it in various positions he patted it lovingly, and then abruptly wanted to know if it was not indeed a. beautiful piece of mechanism. "Do vousee that." he exclaimed, pointing to a slightly projecting nipple that was exactly in the' middle of the belt, "1 cau drive a iellet from that nipple that will jvenetrate the skin of an ox at a distance of sixty feet. If the ox i alive, I will guarantee to kill it within fifteen minutes, by ' means of the same Juliet. There will be 111 noise trom the firing of this deadly missile, as you shall see before you leave, f simply piace my lebow to my s'ule and the machine goes oil with the force of a rifle. The pellet, a- you v. ill note." and here the inventor took down a case containing several greasy, greenish looking objects, about three indes long and as large as the leads of a pencil, "is as heavy as so much lead, but no lead enters into its composition. It is all oison, concentrated by pressure, 1CU parts into one part, and the inmedient of that poison is my secret. Now, if you w ill wait a moment, I will bring in a dog that I have in tiie back yard. and which I decided this morning to lay on the altar of science You will then he able to judge as to the eflectiveness of my beautiful invention. " In the absence of the old man the Times correspondent took up the dea ll v belt and examined it closely. Though the outside w a of brass it was lined with steel and was very flexible and hollow. The front was wieter and thicker than the sides and back, and the whole machine felt much heavier than it looked. A hinge allowed the back to open and the belt to encircle the body. Unci in place it snapped together much like a handcuff. Thft entire front was composed of smooth brass, on the underside of which, right under the nipple, there was an attachment which seemed to be tollable the wearer to load the belt. Otherwise the machine looked far from being dangerous. The Professor came in struggling at one end of a rope, with a miserable-looking street dog at the other. "As I was going to sav just before I went out," he said, "with this beautiful invention of mine a man with ordinary care and intelligence can take on" any public individual at any timeandanywhere 'without incurring the slighest risk tor himselt and causing no pain to the per -on attacked. Do you know that the cruel and dreadful deaths of some of the European crowned heads have caused me much pa n? The idea of the flesh and bones of Kings being strewn along the roadside from the force of bomb explosions, to say nothing of herother system of destruction which have been employed from time to time by assassins, is dread ail. It has seemed to me that such deaths were cruel and unnecessary. Now. I have worked night and day to provide real reformers and legal executioneis with a weapon that w i.l remove human beings without pain. I ask mankind nothing. 1 have received inquiries from a few people in reference to this machine. A well-know n Russian reformer, a good man, wants one Of them. J have had no application from Irishmen as yet, but an attache Ot the Cuban journal Separatist, the organ of the revolutionists of New York, was here last week to see me concerning it. As I am protected by no patent now, 1 propose to furnish nothing but working drawings, but I want to show you the machine iu action." The poor dog was dozing by the stove. The l'roiessor brought out an air-pump from the closet, placed the beit under it, and proceeded to charge it with a tremendous pressure. 'When he had finished the gage in the pump stood at 20,000 pounds. The belt was then quite rigid, but gave no evidence of the terrible strain upon it. After he had 'removed the belt from the pump he threw aside his coat, clasped the belt about him, placed one of tlie pellets in tlie nipple, and arranged two little steel levers, one under each arm. which he then connected with the belt. After replacing his clothing, taking care to put the nipple through a button-hole in his w aistcoat where it was scarcely observable.' he announced that he was ready. 'Watch me closely," said he; "you will hear up sound " l acing the dog, he pressed his left elbow- against hi. side, which action he said "cocked" the strange device, making it ready to co off from a light pressure on the other side of his body. Next his right arm fell. "There." said he, with a nervous motion, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead. "The dog is shot. In less than tii'teen minutes it will be dead " There was a profound silence in the room. Nothing but the ticking of the old clock on the wall broke the stillness. It did not seem possible that the dog had been struck with anything. The Professor exp'ained that tlie iieuetration was so swift, and the hole tnadn by the pellet so small that it caused very litte pain, no more than made by the point of a pin. Suddenly the dog gave a piercing shriek, jumped from the floor into the air. and fell back lifeless. He was dead. "It is not necessary." said the Professor, "that these projectiles," as he picked up one of the pellets, "should reach a vital part, to cause death, it is only necessary that the projectile should enter tinder the skin of the animal or man The warmth and moisture of the body dis-olve the substance of which the oellet is composed, and the instant a drop of blood that is tainted with it enters the heart, death ensues." Why suffer with malaria? Kmorv's Standard Cure Pills are infallible; never fail to cure the most obstinate cases; purely vegetable. 'Jö cents. They were in the wood. Said he. looking things unutterable, I wish 1 were a fern, Giis.ie" "Why?" she asked. "Why p'raps TOU might pres me, too." She evidently hated to do it, but it is best to nip auch things in the bud; so she replied: "I'm afraid you're too green. Charley." The poor boy almost blubbered. If arforr A'il I'oMpliitt.

Seth ;irn' Ideas Ahont the- r'laujr Trib, hikI Suaic t.f Hi Variett Kx rieiic. Turf, field and Farm. "How did you ever come to devise this scheme?" "I have been working at it ever since I was large enough to bend a pin." The above remark was addressed to Mr. Sethtireen. the veteran fish cultunst, who is known to the entire world, and his reply indicates the extent of his labors. "When I was quite young." he continued, "I would lie on the limbs of trees that reached out over the water entire afternoons watching the movement of the fish and studying their habits In this way I discovered trany charac teristics which were before unknown. I saw, as every observer must see. the destructive elements that are warring against fish, and I realized that unless something were done the life in the streams of this country would become extinct. To counteract "this disastrous end became my life work, and I am happy to say I have seen its accomplishment.'' "Were you successful on ths- start?" "No, indeed. Up to that time all artificial attempts to hatch and raise fish from the spawn had failed, and I was compelled to experiment in an entirely new manner. The work was a careful and tedious one, but I finally succeeded, and to-day I am able to hatch and raise fully "." per cent, of all spawn." "Enormons! Why, that is a larger percentage than either the vegetable or animal kingdoms produce in a natural condition." "1 know it, but we exercise the Igreatest care in the start, and guard the little fellows untij they become able to care for themselves " The foregoing conversation occurred at Caledonia where the representative of this paper was paying a visit to the State Fish Hatcheries, 'it has'been his privilege to rejort very many interesting sights within the past twenty-live years, but the view presented here exceeds iu interest anything ever before attempted. "How many fish are there in those ponds, Mr. (ireen?' "As we have never attempted to count them it will be impossible to say. They extend way up into the millions though. Ye shipped oyer o.O'rt.OOU out of the ponds this year and there seemed to be as many afterward as before. We have nearly every varictv of the trout family and many hybrids." "You speak of hybrids, Mr. Green. What do you mean by that?" "I have experimented for years in crossing the breed of the various fish and am still working upon it. We cross the female salmon trout with the male brook trout, and thus produce a hybrid. Then we cross the hybriel with the brook trout, which gives us three quarter brook trout and one-quarter falmon trout. This makes one of the finest fishes in the world. He has all the habitsof the brook trout, lives in both streams and lakes, develops vermilüon spot3on his sides, rises readily to a lly, i? far more vigorous and fully one-third larger than the ordinary brook trout of the same age. The possibilities of development in the fish world are great and we are rapidly ascertaining what they are." As the man of news watched the countenance of Mr. Green while he was giving the above account, he could not but feel that he was in the presence of one of the few investigators who, from a rich and life-long experience, bring great benefit to the world. Let the reader imagine a strong and stalwart frame, surmounted by a head strongly resembling that of Socrates, and covered with a white silky beard and luxuriant gray Jiair. Seth Green, the father of lish culture, is a picture of health, and the reporter could not lielo remarking so. "If you liaei seen me the last winter and spring, young man, you might have thought differently,' said tlie veteran. "How "is that? One would think, to look at you, that sickness was something of which yoü knew nothing." "Ami so it was until last winter. I went down into Florida iu the fall to see what kind of fish they had in that State and to study their habits, and was attacked with malaria in its severest form, and when I came home I realized for the first time in my life that 1 was sick. My symptoms were terrible. I had dull, aching pains in my head, limbs, and around my back. My appetite was wholly gone, and I felt a lack of energy such as I had often heard described but had never experienced. Any one who has ever had a severe attack of malaria can appreciate my condition. 1 went to bed and remained there all the spring, and if there ever was a sick man I w as the one." "It seems hardly possible. How did you come to recover so completely ?" "My brother, who had been afflicted with a very severe kidney trouble and threatened with Bright's disease, was completely cured by a remedy in whi b I had great confidence. 1 therefore tried the same remedy for my malaria, and I am happy to say I am a well man to-day and through the instrumentality of Warner's Safe Cure, which I believe to be one of the most valuable of medicines. Indeed, I see it is endorsed by the United States Medical College of New York, and that Dr. Gunn, Dean of that Institution, has written a long article concerning its value." "And are you now as welt as formerly?" "Apparently so. I keep the remedy on hand all the while, though, and do not hesitate to recommend it to others " "One question more. How many pounds of lish have vou here, and how are they divided'."' "Well, we have 43 ponds which are divided up as follows: '22 jonds of brook trout, 2 ponds of salmon trout. 4 of McCloud Kiver or rainbow trout, 2 ponds of German trout, 3 of California Mountain trout, 2 ounds of hybrids. 4 of one-quarter salmon and three-quarters brook trout. 2 ponds of gold fish, and 1 pond of Carp. Then we have what we call the centennial pond or happy family,' consisting of crosses of different fish, including Kennebeck salmon, Land Locked salmon, California salmon, brook trout, salmon trout and hybrids. These fish range in size from minnows to ISounders, and in age from one and one-half months to eleven years. I forgot to say, also, that we have a 'hospital' pond, which is en tirely empty, which speaks pretty well tor a community of many millions. Indeed, the whole secret of fish culture can be summed up in four things impregnation, using no water, plenty of food, plenty of pure water ami cleanliness." The numerous fish exhibitions which are taking place in all parts of Europe and the unusual interest which is being manifested iu this subject throughout the world all owe their origin to the process above described as originated and conducted by Seth Green. It is certainly cause for congratulation to every American that this country produces so many men whose genius brings value to the worlci, and it is proof positive of the greatest merit that a remedy even with such high standing as Warner's Safe Cure is known to have should be so strongly iudorsed and recommended by one SO reputable and reliable as Seth Green. Uli Perkins on Women Masons Uli Perkins is a Royal Arch Mason, and at a Masonic celebration in Washington he undertook to answer the question, why women can not be Free Masons. Women sometimes complain that they are not permitted to enter the Lodge and work with the craft in their labors, and learn all there is to be learned in this institution. I wiil explain the reason. I learn that before the Almighty had finished His work He was in doubt abo'ut creating Eve. The creation of the living and creeping things had been accomplished, and the Almighty had made Adam, who was the first Mason, and created for him the finest Ixxlge in the world, and called it Paradise No. 1. Laughter He then called all the beast" of the Held and fowls of the air to uriss before Adam, for him to name them, which was a piece of work he had to do alone, that no confusion might thereafter arise frome LVe, whom He knew would make trouble if she was allowed to narticinate in it. if He created her lieforeh.ind.

Horrible Treatment of Feeble- Old Lndy 1v Her Husband A Shocking Stury. A telegram from New Haven, Conn , to tlie New York World, savs: A divorce was granted yesterday in the Superior Court of New Iondon County, in which one of the parties to the suit is" an octogenarian, and the other is nearly of the same age. In the summer of 18.V, Mrs. Emily Tift was married to Oeorge Latham, a widower with two married daughters. Both live in (iroten. oppo site New London. Mrs, Latham also had one child, a grown no son. Mr. Latham was at that time tifty-four, and his wife tiftv vears O'.d. They lived happily for some years hut Elijah ltailey, who married one of Latham's daughters, caused trouble, and it is alleged that during the past five years the whitehaired husband hns treated his aged wife with inhuman cruelty. During this time, it is said, he has made lier fodder several yokes of cattle and a number of cows at all seasons of the year even during the most severe storms of winter. There is no fodder barn on the Latham farm, and Mrs. I-atliam was obliged to use a ladder to mount haystacks in an open field, in order to throw clown the hay for the stock. In winter the slacks were frequently covered w ith a foot of snow and ice. which she was obliged to clear away lefore she could get at the salt hay. In telling herstory to the World correspondent she said: "If the feeding ot the cattle was all I should not have minded it, although I am over 7," years old; but my husband would kick me out of bed in the middle of winter. We had wood fires, which went out at night ana the house was freezing cold 1 had often to sit in a chair all night. At lat I hid a blanket away, so that I could have something to wrap around me when he was mad and would not let me sleep. After that 1 kept more comfortable. He hns kicked me in the side when he had heavy cowhide boots on, and has hit me with his fist times without number. "Once he was having some words with a man who, he said, had stolen some nails. I told him that the nails were not stolen. He aught me by the throat and threw me down the cellar stairs, saying: 'I'll teach you to talk to me!' He has forced me to leave the house in all sorts of weather, and I have frequently taken refuge in the home of Captain Sidney Iiuddington, one of the oflicers of the Polaris expedition. His wife has often dressed the cuts and bruises which my husband made on my face and hands. "Once, a year ago last winter, we wer sitting by an open wood fire when he suddenly got angry because I asked him to be better to me- Without saying a word he picked up a blazing stick and threw it in my face. It struck me between the eyes, nearly blinding me. and then feil into my lap, setting my clothes on fire. I was dazed by the blze, which burnt my eyes, and I am so oldthat I could not move quickly: but I managed to grope my way to the sink and extinguish the 11 a in es with water, instead of helping me he sat still and said: 'Burn up, curse you.' 'Alter this my son advised me to get a divorce, and I tiled the application, which was granted. My son, Samuel Tift, has been very good to me." He bought all my clothing while I lived with my husband, and has kept nie since I left him, two years ago. I think that the trouble between Mr. Latham and myself was caused by his daughters, who did nöt want me to live in the house, as I took up room that they wanted to occupy. One of them, Mrs. Elijah Bailey, is living with him, and the other, Mrs. George Gates, lives at Wallingford." The suit has been a pecular one. The application was fileel two yearä a?o, but every time it has come up for trial Iatham has been reported sick. At last Judge Culver determined to investigate his sickness. He found that on two occasions when Latham said that he was sick he had been attending to his farm duties as usual. When the case was called the last time Latham took some drug which unfitted him temporarily for appearance at Court, and it was tried without his appearance. When the evidence had been given Judge Culver said: "This is the worst case of cruelty to a wife I have ever heard. I will grant a decree of divorce not only on the ground of cruelty, but of Intolerable cruelty, and give MrsLatham the one-third of her husband's estate allowed by law." One day before the decision was given Latham turned over his estate to his daughters by deed of gift, only reserving &00 of this amount. Judge Culver has ordered $160 to be paid to Mrs. Latham in money. The husband said: "My wife can come back if she wants to. She had no cause to leave roe, and all the trouble has been made bv that worthless son of hers, Sam Tift. He would come over here and borrow money and tools and never return one cent's worth. This went on until I could stand it no longer. His mother obeys him in everything, and he enticed her to leave me. He has spent all of her money and wants to spend all of mine. That is the whole trouble. Mv wife left a good home without cause, but she can come back if she wants to. I will be gla l to have her at any time." Tift and his mother deny Latham's statement in every particular. "The neighbors say that he is a hard working carpenter and has always taken good care of his aged mother. THRKK ItUTLKK MEETINGS. The Governor Speaks at All A Letter From Wendell Phillips. Boston, OcL 10. Hutler opened his campaign here to-night with three big meetings one at Faneuil Hall, another at Tremotu Temple, and tne third at Music Hall. He made speeches at each in which he defended his course, explained why he had accomplished so little because of his hostile Coun til and legislature, declared that he had not defamed the State by exposing corruption, and plead for support and the election of a friendly Council and Legislature to help him carry forward further "reforms." He paid his respects to Ids tritics, especially Colonel Codmatl. whose sharp thrusts at him were one of the features of the Bepubiican Convention, ami had some sharp shots at the charac ter of his opposition. The mpportin sneakers at the several meetings included Wm. A. Simmons, the exCollector of this Tort whose appointment ltutler secured, and who has followed the latter's political fortunes; Mayor Palmer. InMi:ance Commissioner Tarbox, ' Edward Avery. Charles Ivi Woodbury. andet-Con-pM SMuan Charles 1J. Thompson. At one of the meetings a colored man was also one of the fpeaken.
