THE GILPIN DIVORCE.

Erfona Ojargea aat Counter Charges i Made The Defendant's Early Lite. St- Louis Republican. Tie fact that x-Governor Gi'.pla, cf Cclorado, Las applied for a divorce, in the : Superior Court at Denver, in that State, from his wife, Jalia P. Gilpin, is deeply deplored in tfcat city end throughout the State whereever Governor Gilpin or hia wife are known. The information is none the less deplorable, especially among the relatives and friends of the lady who reside in St. Louis, her former borne. Governor Gilpin ias fceen a -resident of Colorado for a tarter of a century. In April, President Lincoln appointed him Governor of the Territory of Colorado. He served in that capacity one year, and has since ien a resident of Denver, lie is now tevetty-four years of age, and iiis wife, frcm whom he seeks legal separation, is f.fty-Eeven. In his petition for divorce he says that in February, 1S74, he was married ta defendant in St. Lccia, in accordance with the rules and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church. At that time the plaintiff was a bachelor, acd the defendant was the widow of Colonel John Dickerson, late of the Federal army. She had four young children at the time of her marriage to the plaintiff, and since her marriage three have been born William and Marie, twins, eleven years, and Louis, nine years of age. The Dickerson children were educated by plaintiff In Catholic institutions of learning, notwithstanding the fact that plaintiff is a Protestant. The complaint says that the plaintiff hes ever been a true and loving husband, and then says: "But nevertheless the said defendant hath not kept her marriage toks to the plaintiff, and hath in rcaDy ways broken the same, and hath never loved, cherished or obeyed the plaintiff, is in and by her marriage vows, which efce nrof esses to regard as a sacrament, sa at the nuptial altar had promised to do, bnt on the contrary thereof hath, being ld cn by the blind zeal and bigotry of an infatuation which she calls religion; by her outbreaking and unbridled passions which she has nurtured by long attention into a species of outbreaking and ungoverned frenzy; by her desire to lay hold of the fortune of the plaintiff, which in her infatuation she believes, or pretends to believe, to be much greater than it actually is; for years, in fact, from almost the very beginning of the married life of plaintiff and defendant, rendered their home the almost continual theater and scene of strife, thereby making the life of the plaintiff intolerable and his home a pandemonium, where he has neither quiet nor peace, and where hia children are taught by defendant to hate, d spise and avoid him. She hath at various times entered into sundry conspiracies with her friends, relations and kindred to bereave him of his children and deprive him of his fortune by threats and intimidation, declaring it to be their purpose, if need be, tc take away his life tor that purpose." He then charges her with extreme cruelty and uncontrollable fits of passion. He cites instances, and from them it would appear that her alleged violence commenced while yet on their wedding tour to California. The complaint further alleges that Mrs. Gilpin has long been in the habit of leaving for St. Louis at any and all time", often quite unexpectedly to her husband; that ihe has always wanted to return to St. Louis to li'.e, and when the plaintiff has refused repeatedly to do so, because all his belonging lie in Colorado, his wifa has demanded money that she might go to St. lxuis and there educate her children. The aged ex-Governor complains bitterly of the prolonged and frequent absences of his wife in St. Louis, and speaks regarding her alleged extravagance. He says she has always labored under the impression that he was a millionaire, although he has repeatedly endeavored to .disabuse her mind of this idea, and that she has so shaped her housekeeping that it has cost from $12,0 C to $18,000 per year. The most Benous charge which the ex-official charges against his wife is that of contemplated murder. He thinks Mrs. Gilpin is trying to kill him. He says she has so worked upon her son, Sidney Dickerson, aa to mate him a bitter enemy of his step-father, and to assume " the role of hia mother's protector. Several attempts, he alleges, have been made upon his life. One, he believes, occurred at tne time he was attending the Cattle Growers' Association in St. Louis, in 13S5, at the Southern Hotel, when several prsots attempted to entangle him in a difficulty, in order that they might take his life on a plea of justifiable homicide. Another attempt was made on his life, he says, last January, when the presence of Sidney Dicker9on had become so intolerable to him that he had ordered him away from hia house. One night the door-bell had rung sharply, and when he had answered its summons, there Sidney Dickerson had stood with several other young men. all of whom were doubtless inteet, he thinks, upon doirg violence to his, the plaintiffs person. He had told the boy Sidney to go, but instead of a compliance with the command, the young man advanced npon him and knocked him down, giving him a severe blow. He relates now, at the instant the tell had rung, his wife had come into the hall and bad brushed by him, and of how, when he next looked for his revolver, which he always carried with him, it wa? mining and was not found until the next morning, when he discovered it in the grass on the lawn. The complaint stages that the plaintiff is sure Mrs. Gilpin must have taken it fron, his pocket and thrown it out on the lawn in order that he might not injure the young men. Other serious charges are made, and a lengthy answer is made by the defendant, in which she charges the plaintiff with many of the tame faults which are set forth in his complaint. Mrs. Gilpin, nee Miss Pratte, is well known among the older families in St. Louie. She was a reigning belle ia her girlhood, tall, well-proportioned, with a pierciEg black eye, creamy brunette complexion and waivy black hair, her profile being quil'ne and her features very pronounced. Her sister, Lena Pratte, was also a belle, rivalling all the leaders of society in those ' days, and ia now a resident of St. Louis, the wife of a prominent physician, Dr. P. G. Kobinson. Celeste Pratte, another sister, married Gus Tracy, since deceased, and is now residing in St. Louis on Lucas Place. Bernard Pratte. Jr.. a brother, raarriel Edward Sloan's daughter. General Bernard Pratte, the father, died last summer, and Urs. Pratte. the mother of Mrs. Governor Gilpin, is still living, and makes her home with her son-in-law, Dr. Robinson. Tbere are rnanv people in St. Louis who rfrxember the wedding of Governor Gilpin and Mrs. Dickerson. which was solemnized at EU Vincent de Paul's Catholic Church, and was a grand affair. The wedding reception was held at Mrs. Tracey's. Although Colonel Dickerson, the first husband of Mrs. Gilpin, or Julia Pratte, as she is best known in St. Louis, was an orlicer in the Federal service, hia wite was a strong Southern sympathizer, and an incident is related of her fealty to the Southern cause, which occurred in Cincinnati, where she was residing in the sixties. Colonel and Mrs. Dickerson were guests at the Burnett House, and when the news of the fall of Richmond reached the city a E'ceral illumination was ordered. Mrs. ickerson refused to permit her apartments to be illuminated, and extinguished the candles as rapidly as they were placed ia the windows. The people became so incexsed that her life was threatened, but ah carried her point. She was reared in luxury, and her first Jhu6baz.d, it is said, almost worshipped her. Democrat Hold Their Own.

The returns, which were not completed until this morning, give the prize to Eessemer by 1,200 majority. EARLY INDIANA JUSTICE. amasiie Trial In Which Some Kemarkable Law Was Produced. lEnqnirer. I In the early history ot thisection of. the West many incidents connected with the primitive administration and execution of aw occurred which are worthy of observa

tion. The erst Justice of the Peace in Milan, Ripley County, Indiana, had a peculiar experience ia the first trial bef ire him. which was a dog case. Tnepiaintiß owned a yellow dog, which was killed by the defendant. The irate owner immediately went to Versailles, the county seat, to obtain a lawyer to prosecute a claim for damages. Court not being in session, all the attorneys were off cn the circuit except Stephen S. Hardiag, a young man who was afterward Governor of Idaho and Chief Justice cf Utah, whom the plaintiff employed to bring his suit. The defendant, hearing that a lawyer had been secured by his opponent, also repaired to Versailles, and not rindiEg any barrister, he retained Judge Test, then a clerk in the Clerk's office, where he spent his spare time in studying la. The appointed day for the contest ame, and the opposing counsel started for the scene of conflict together. Tney found the Justice surrounded by his attendants and friends, among them Constable Captain Shook, an old Revolutionary sildie. The case being called for trial, the Justice ordered the constable to read the law to the people.whereupou Captain Shook, with great dignity, read a section of an old Indiana statute, which in substance provided: "A Justice of the Peace shall have power to preserve order by a fine not exceeding 75 cents, or by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed twenty-four hours, if there be a jail in the county, otherwise in an adjoining county." At the conclusion of the rea.iing the Justice put on his tin-rimmed spectaj es and reread the provision, emphasizing it with his purpose to carry out the law. if the people, who were there from long distances in their hunting-shirts and homespuns, did not keep order, and the lawyers were also admonished to beware of any infraction. Mr. Test arose to argue a demurrer, and the Justice wanted to kuo what a demurrer was Governor Harding bad to come to the relief of Test with au admission that the proceedings were regular before the Justice would allow Test to go on. The plaintiffs attorney supported the argument by a quotation from an ancient copy of Biackstone and the only law book in the court. The law was to the effect that dogs were fieri natura, wild by nature, not subjects of larceny, therefore rot property. Daring the argument the Justice glanced at Harding in a severe way, as much as to say : "How dire you bring any such a suit in my court 7"' Harding then stood up with fear and trembling, and, under great embarrassment, tried to answer Test's argument. Suddenly opening Blackstone he saw the date on the title page was A. D. V2Z. Having a fertile imagination, with great emphasis he brought this fact to the attentention of the court, saying that he was astonished that any lawyer would use such an authority; that Blackstone contained the laws of Kngland to overthrow which our forefathers had spent their lives and their treasures; that the grinning skeletons upon the bloody fields of Saratoga, Cowpens and Utah Springs were protesting against that despotism which threatened our liberties. After this fight of fiery eloquence the Justice turned to Mr. Test fiercely and said: "The court will forgive you this time, but if ever you do that again I will ne you not exceeding 73 cents or send you to jail for not exceeding twenty-four hours, if there be a jail in the county, and if not, in the adjoining county." This settled the case, and a judgment was given for $10, the estimated value of the dog. THE LATE MISS WOLFE'S GIFT. Her Collection of Paintings Presented to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. New York, April 8. It is understood that by the provisions of the will of the late Miäs Catherine Lorillard Wolfe her magnificent collection of paintings has been given In its entirety to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The collection formed one of the finest private galleries in the country. Miss Wolfe manifested as lively an interest in the museum as she did in the charitable enterprise with which her name has been identified. So handsome a donation has never before been made to New York. Its valve, from an artistic point of view, would b'i impossible to estimate. The vaiue of the collection can best be gleaned from a recital of some of the famous paintings. Among these are Gerome's "Prayer in the Morgue;" Detaille's "Gaird of Honor Cnarging the Fleeing Cossack's;" Rosa Ionheur's "Weaning the Calves;" Mcnkacsy's "Mount de Piete;"lCorta "Ville d' Avery:" Max's celebrated painting, the "Christian Martjr;" Meissonier'a "Horsemen;" "Palace Reale, Venice," by M. R'co; "Flowers and Fruits," by Preyer; "Tarklsh Dancing Girl," by Cabanel; "Monk Playing a Violin," by Tony Robert Fieury; "Abandoned," by Screyer; "The Holy Family," by Knaus, and a fine collection of specimens of Von Bremen, Jules Breton, Domingo, Seim and others equally well known. With th recent gifts to the museum by Cornelius Yanderoilt of Risa Bonheur's "Horse Fair" and the handsome gif' from Mr. George I. Seney, New York will now have an art collection of which it may be justly proud. Miss Wolfe's will provides also for the extension of the conchological collection presented to the Museum of Natural History by her father, John David Wolfe, as well as for the improvement and continuance of the library appended thereto. The will in its entirety will be made public to morrow, when it will be filed for probate. All Paid Alike. Countryman (in dime museum) What's your specialty, friend?

A DESPERATE WOMAN.

Another Chapter In the History of the Career of William Ktssane. Clkyelasd, April 7. Sidney C. Barton, the Cleveland man who followed Ktssane for years and spent 159,000 in the endeavor tobring him to justice, kept a complete record of ail hia movements. His life was hazarded almost momentarily, and one of his most formidable foes was a woman, the wife of Captain Cummlngs, who commanded the Martha Washington, the-boat that Kissane and his fellow-conspirators burned on the Missiasippi. The Captain owned an interest in the boat, and the efforts ol Mr. Burton to prevent the payment of what he knew to be fraudulent insurance claims greatly infuriated the woman, who was of the most desperate character. Mr. Burton, In his own writing, tells of his first encounter with her in the following manner: "All other interviews having failed to win me over, they (the conspirators) invited me to Cummings' room at the Walnut Street House, Cincinnati, probably to make me a final and more liberal proposal. I went, and Cummings commenced entreating me to stand by him, with the assurance that everything should be right, when Mrs. Cummings stepced into the room. Her appearance attracted my attention. She was a dashing woman, with a compact figure, handsome face, black hair and jet eyes that flashed like coals of fire. She said not a word, but commenced pacing up and down the room with a nervous Btep, occasionally glancing at me with a strange, vindictive expression. She reminded me of a tigress walking up and down in a cage. I watched her closely, what she would say or do, when she remarked in a short, sharp voice: 'I can hit a qua ter of a dollar across this room every time.' "A circumstance which I am about to relate induced me to believe that she might whip out a pistol and shoot me cn the spot. I thought, in view cf the case, that discretion was the better part of valor, and not wishing to furnish a target for the pistol practice of an infuriated woman, I hastily excused myself on the plea of another engagement. The circumstances to which I allude and from which I had previovsly gained ome idea of Mrs. Cummings' character is as follows: She was a sister of the Chapins, residing in Cincinnati, when she became acquainted with and formed an attachment for Cummings, who promised to marry her. This was some time before the Mexican war. Cummings, however, did not see fit to keep his word, and during the war went to Mexico with Rufus and Adam Chapin and Kimball, where they kept a gambling shop on the Rio Grande. They were getting along in a flourishing way, when they were startled by a strange and wholly unexpected arrival. It seems that Mrs. u turnings (then Miss Chapin), feeling her dignity wounded by what she supposed to be the desertion of the captain, determined to vindicate the wrongs ot her sex. and compel the faithless lover to fulfill his pledge. She set about doing- this in a corious fashion. The indignant girl dressed herself in a complete suit of man's dothirg, armed hers 'If with a brace of Eistols, and started with a brave heart on -r distant journey. She found her way without defection to the Rio Grande, and hunted up the location selected by Cummings and the company. On the day ot ber arrival the unsuspecting Cammings was cealing faro in the shop W3n in came tte afliancd lady. She jerked out a pistol, pointed it at Cummings' head, and addressed him fiercely: 'Captain Cummings, you can either marry me or take this in your head.' In the midst of the Captain's consternation, he found breath enough to say: 'Why, Allie, my dear, isthat you." He very sensibly determined to marry her, and the ceremony was performed by a priest the same day. It was a knowledge of this history that mdnced me to take a rather hasty leave of Captain Cummings' apartments." Subsequently Mr. Eurton, in his pursuit of the criminals, found Captain Cummings in a gambling den in New Orleans. On this occasion Mrs. Cummings, who was with her husband, attacked Mr. Barton with a gun and a knife, but a friend arrived at the scene intime to save his life. WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE General l'uslress Fairly Active Money euerally tn Gaori Supply. New York, April 8. R G. Dan fc Co , in their weekly review of trade, say: The inter-state commerce act causes quite as much disturbance as was anticipated. Shipments in the aggregate enormous for distribution beyond Chicago have to be rebilled there; merchants and manufacturers find rates raised from 30 to 50 per cent, on many distant shipments; Pacific lines complain that the trans-Continental traffic is rendered impossible unless they are exempted. The association of twentyseven Southern roads have already obtained temporary exemption becanse of consequent interruption of traffic. Northern lines, competing with lake or Canadian transporters, claim equal needs, and interior roads cite large shipments of Hour down the Mississippi, because through railroad freights are raised. Coal rates increase the cost f fuel $1 per ton about Philadelphia. Changes in iron freights disturb the trade, and way close some furnaces. These are but a few of the difficulties which the commission is expected to examine and in some way to remedy, bnt the question is how far is it able? General business is fairly active, though dullness is the complaint at some points. The output of Iron for the first quarter of 1SS7 is reckoned at LGtiS.OU) tons, which is at a rate of 15 0 per cent over last year's production. Yet present demand is slack. New Orleans Ends freight handling embarrassed by labor distentions and trade is dull there, at Mobile and Montgomery; active at Birmingham; improving at Louisville, except in distilling, and quite hopeful at Milwaukee, since the defeat of the Labor ticket. Money is generally in good supply, though growing scarce at Cleveland and needed at Milwaukee on account of slow collections. From most points, collections are reported reasonably prompt. There is growing real estate speculation, especially at Cincinnati and Lonisuille, and at other Western cities, and new manufacturing centers at the South. Not a few prudent men doubt whether there is not an undue expansion of credits, resulting from speculative activity, and caution in that direction is certainly warranted. In the greater markets speculation is spasmodic. Wheat has advanced 1 cent, corn and oats change little, hogs and lard are lower, oil has Ukena spasm of activity for two days, but closes less than lc higher than last wetk, tin recovers a little after a decline, and copper, iron, sugar and wool are unchanged. Coffee haa risen lid and Otton 1-Kic. Stocks declined sharply when Wall street realized that the long expected disturbances in consequence of the interstate act had actually commenced, and then recovered a little on suspension of the act by the commission in favor of the Southern roads. Flurries of stringency in the money market have continued, but the Treasury has poured out $4,200,000 gold during the week, $1,000,000 silver, and $1,500,000 legal tenders in excess of its receipts. Its rapid inflation of currency prevents pressure, but contributes to the expansion of credits already noticed. Foreign exchange has been undisturbed, and no fear of exports of specie is felt Export of produce continue at its factory and the enormous revenue of the Government for March, greater than for any other month in may years, is evidence of business activity, thonh it shows how considerable the contraction of currency must he after July 1, unless the treasury contents to pay a high premium for bonds cot due.

General Iarr Crgea Restitution by and Not Punishment for Kissane. New Yoke, March 0 The Kissane sensation continues to occupy considerable space In the daily papers. The World has the following this morning: The following letter of General Darr to Amasa Mason gives many interesting particulars of his pursuit of Kissane that have not hitherto been published: 2.902 California Street, ) San Frasi isco, Cal., Nov. 20, 1SSC. j Amasa Mason, Esq., lx Lee avenue, Erooklyn: Sir Your favor of the 12th instcame yesterday. So many interested in the Martha Washington matters have passed away that it is a pleasure to hear from a survivor. You know from Mr. Tappan already how grievously my people suffered from Kissane's crimes and the good reason I have not to forget him. He is, indeed, alive '"in the flesh" beyond all doubt, and as capable for mischief and evil as ever. The imprudence of my good friend, Mr. John Sparks, Clerk of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, in New York City, in mentioning my name to Kissane's emissary, who tried to obtain the indictment papers still suspended over Kissane, has undoubtedly placed my life in peril should my sacrifice be necessary for the security of Kissane and the surviving members ot his gang. I am convinced that I am closely watched and shadowed, and it would be very imprudent for you to caution any cf 3 our friends here about Kissane, even did you know his dual name and life, for the reason that he has powerful friends and connections, few, if any, and orily his own blood, knowing his identity. He has a large and interesting family of sons and daughters, who would be crushed by his exposure and the knowledge of his crimes, and, as he is an avaricious man, disgorging or other restitution will be a more severe punishment than putting on the well-accustomed handcuff, and relieve me from the painful alterr atiye of handing him over to justice, for to a humane man even the children of a villain are objects of kind regard. His position, condition, surroundings and connections are such that restitution is the best policy, and he will be so advised by those concerned for him. His fall would Involve to many side issues for others. You shall know all in due time, but just now it might defeat my efforts to make know to your friends here the knowledge I possess and my discovery. I find some of my most intimate friends connected with Kissane in business and otherwise, in such a way that I feel staggered at nis phenomenal "success," if I can use the word in a limited sei se, and it requires the most delicate tact on my part not to make a stampf de, though I am vigilantly watching their interests, among the largest in tne State. He must be conscious that at last he is known, and that security and immunity can only be made good by restitution and good behavior. If 3 on will give me the names of your friends, they may be mine, too, who knows? Seme of my best friends were intimate with Kissane and his people in ths litter's dtal names (even naming their children with the "masked" names). I shall see that no harm comes to them from Kissane A: Co. The fortunes and happiness of my pople were broken by Kissane, and the pad results are felt to this day, IWegret to say, by tnose most dear to me, and were it cot for the irnocent children Kissane has brought into the world, and the pleading of niy wife (whose mother was killed by the distress resulting from Kissane's ruining our factory), he should be on his way to the tcafTold before this. I have always hid a keen sympathy for you on account of the assault by Commings, arranged by Nicholson. I presume that they are both dead. I know where a copy of Kissane's Sing Sng confession is, and some of his most inculpating documents, but they are not accessible just now. I hope 4o get them in time. The "confession" I am anxious td g't before "drawing the net" that I may include others I have long suspected, and who are enjoying their ili-eotten gains. Its possession will wring from Kissane etrctually the restitution he is si reluctant to make. Frajtcis Darr. Address postoffice box 2,031. l.'nthnslaitm For Art. 1 London Truth. A "best on record" of an unusual kind was done last month at Baberton, Cape Colony. An artist named Woodcock played the piano for twenty-four co.Becutive hours "without breaking harmony," which I take to mean that he had at least two fingers on the keyboard throughout the time, unless the conditions of the exhibition permitted the employment of his nose. During the twenty-four hours Mr. Woodcock took no other refreshments than some beef-tea and an occasional cigar. He, however, finished in capital condition, and subsequently performed at two music balls, at one of which he was presented with a gold watch and chain and the evening's takings. It is gratifying to see such enthusiasm tor art on the yery outskirts of civilization. They IJlevr Oat the Gat. Chka o, April 8. Alvin Hill and G. W.

KUSBINU TODEIIH in the attempt to swin the Niagara Whirlpool Rapids is i more reckless or dangerous than to trifle with disease which each day secures a stronger hold and hastens the end of life. This is specially true of rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, and nervous headache, which though perhaps slight at first, are extremely dangerous, and steadily secure a firmer grip until at last the agony is unendurable and sudden death brings relief. These diseases can be cured by the use of Athlophoros which, iu connection with Athlophoros Pills, never fail when properly used. Bead the following from those who have tested it. Mrs. Francis Heath, No. 70 Ferry street, Lafayette, Ind., says: "I have had rheumatism pains in my feet for a number of years, affecting me at times so that it was with much difficulty and pain that I could walk, especially in going down stairs. This Athlophoros was first recommended to me by Bishop Bowman. I .did not get it at that time, but kept trying other remedies. It was again recommended to me by a lady. I then sent and bought a bottle. I took a dose and it seemed to me as if I could feel it go through my system until it came directly to the sore spot and drove it away. The relief was almost instant with me. "While I am getting on in years and can not expect to get entirely rid of these T ains at once, yet a small dose of Athlophoros in a little cream, which I rind is the best to take it in, relieves my pain at once. Mr. Ealdridge, one of oar neighbors, was very badly crippled with rheumatism, and was cured by Athlophoros.." Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Tills, but where they can not be bought of the drugg-'st the Athlophoros Company, 112 Wall Etreet, New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which is $1 per bottle for Athlophoros and 50 cents for Pills. for liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, Indigestion, weakness, nervous debility, diseases ol women, constipation, headache, impure blood, etc..
