at Shelby-

ville, this State, for a divorce from his wife, on*the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment. Having a large practice, he Is frequently mlled out at night. His wife, being jealous, refused to believe that all his absences from home, were professional, and demanded that he should stay in of nights. He said that hi" patients would stand neglect. Then she adopted the plan of taking poison whenever he had a night call, thus compelling him to remain and doctor her. She swallowed a deadly drug in this way several times, and her life was saved with difficulty. The husband claims that such conduct is a just cause for divorce.

Her sister, Jane, two years her senior, begged her to keep her tryst with

her

lover, but all in vain. "Well,

if you dou't keep your word with West. Pierce, I'll do It for you," she said, and Indignantly leaving her sister, she got into the buggy and dashed off, despite the screams of her sister. Miss Jane reached tlio waiting place explanations were made she said she was willing to take her sister's place. The lover, touched by her pluck, and captivated by her determination not to let the plan fall through, did actually marry her.

A ni'itouAR lately entered a house In the outskirts of Buffalo, and found a mother sitting up with a sick child. "Sir," said she to him, in a whisper, as soon as she emild compose herself to speak, "there is nothing of value in this house oxcept that child's life, at least to me but yon may find otherwise. Here, take my keys, search everywhere, take what you want, but sieedUy and wlthout noise, I implore you." She handed him the keys, placed her linger on her lip, and pointed to the door. The burglar moved quietly away, then turned and said in a low voice: "la he very sick?" "His life hangs on the continuance of this sleep." "Then he will recover for all the noise I'll make," the robber answered, laying down the keys, and noiselessly taking his departure, but absolutely nothing else.

A crktottw case of adventure is reported from Brunswick, Me. A school teacher from (hat town was visiting the saa shore last fall, and went out tishing alono. A storm came up and blew his boat tar out at sea, tore off the masts and sails, and left him, helpless, out of sight of land. He finally became unconscious from hunger and thirst, and, while in that condition, was picked up by a vessel. An attack of brain fever followed, which resulted in aberration of mind. The master of the vessel searched his clothing, and discovered that tbe name of his patient was Stan wood, and his rcwklence, Brunswick. He only knew of one place by that nam*, which is a Mtport in tleoigia. Hailing a re*, sel bound that way, he put his patient aboard. About two weeks ago Mr. Stanwood mme to his sensea, to find htmself in the alma-house at Brunswick, Ua., where he had been kept as an insane •arrant for several weeks. He immediately communicated with his friends in Brunswick, Me,, and by this time la undoubtedly with them. If there tsnt material here for a first chws novel, then tbe imagination can supply it.

$BB corrtfct number of Review contains an article onism^by the Bev. Robert iece, Of Salt Lake City. He Wife formly Jptor tbe Fori Wayne CNuoatte, tatnl^ JIe is a shrewd oT and his artide is a terrible of Mormonism. Of tbe effects of polygamy, Mr. McNii "There Is no social abomination growing out of the nnclean system whriebis not found in Utah, and which is not countenanced by the priesthood. It is"

at the same time, or a mother and daugb ter. Such cases arenumeroua. And the

writer has knowledge of one case where a man has for his. three wivps, mother, daughter and

'granddaughter. Tbe

whole tendency of polygamy is to brutalize all who have anything to do with it. One of tbe saddest, but one of the most frequent results, is tbe pushing aside, into cold neglect, of legal wives, who have grown old and gray, In order to make room fer those that" tire younger. After three and a half years at careful observation, the writer feels amply justified in saying that, so far as tbe Mormon men are concerned, with verv rare exceptions, the same principle underlies polygamy which underlies the keeping of mistresses elsewhere.* No pen can describe tbe demoralizing effect of polygamy on the young, nor ader quately net forth the lack of the part of the vast majority of young men and women who are brought-np in cpuuectfon with it. In fact, they don't seetrl to know what the term morality means." '****!"omental nonsense,

The lady correspondent of the Cinr cinnati Enquirer writes from New York as follows:

Calling on a giddy girl, who has nothing under heaven to do but to follow the fashions, I found her reclining on a lounge in her boudoir. She wore what is called a tea-gown, shaped not unlike a long, loose pale-tot, with elbow sleeves, or angel sleeves, looped and gathered up at the wrists. The material of the garment was a combination of brocade in gold and silver with silk gauze. Anything more Oriental could hardly be found out of the Orient itself. Over her bosom was a fichu of. lace, laid over the shoulders and crossing iri front a bunch of red .Jiowers was fastened- at her belt her abundant black hair was brushed back with well counterfdted negligence the toes of her extended feet were stuck into embroidered sandals, and her stock* ings were a true flesh color. A glorious .reatvre she looked, truly, as she lay there in her studied carelessness of firidry. But what I set out to say was that incense was burning at her side. Yes, fragrant smoke was rising lazily from an incerating pastlle in a bronze dish. This is a new freak of the. girls. The scent bottle is put aside, and rooms and clothes are perfumed with inceuse. If the practice lasts long the cannibal who eats a fashionable girl will find her smoked through ana through, like a ham, but a great deal spicier.

NEW YORK GIRLS IN THE BATH Clara Belle. Tbe second diversion is the hot lath— the Russian, Turkish and other forms of par-boiling the human flesh. The girls of New York have apparently just discovered these places of tortue, and are rushing into tnem to a degree that has caused an extension of the hours "for women only." Then* uncover themselves before one another with a freedom which would be considered indecent if the thing wasn't in high vogue, ean conceive how a Venus in shape could like to stand all but nude before the admiring eyes of her own sex but there is no such excuse for the majority of us, who are either too fat or too lean to be pleasing without the kindly shaping or clothes. Besides, where is the fun of being laid on a marble slab, and scrubbed, kneaded, slapped and dented from head to foot by a woman so stalwart that one can't quite get rid of the suspicion that she is a man in disguise? It is the practice now for a paittv of friends to engage \i bathing house for a certain hour exclusively. On these occasions the style of dress varies. Sometimes it consists of a gossamer waist and tiny skirt sometimes of a mere chemisette, and sometimes of absolutely nothing but a blush „of innocence.

ANNIE LOUISE CAREX'TO RETIRE. Interview in Hartford "flmest "Is it so that you intend leaving the stage after this season?" "Yes. I like the stage, but I would rather leave live years too soon than one year too late. I don't want to outlive my fame. I want to be remembered as a good singer, whereas, if I sing on a few years longer, I may nave to leave the stage all the same, and yet not be regretted. I want people to say. 'I'm so sorry that Carev is going to leave the stage.' You see, I've been singing for ten years on this stage, and people may begin to want a change. They get tired of even the best of things if yon give them too much of them. Now I'll have to leave you and show myself. I bate to make tbe first appearance of the evening. It's like getting into a cold bath. I don't suppose I'll ever get over stage fright. I don't like to appear in tights, either. 1 suppose that it's because I'm an American girl. I never put on tights without thinking of a story told abont «ne by some wicked newspaper man some years ago. Perhaps it was you. It said that a party of ladles were praising me up In a parlor one morning, and saying how modest and nice 1 was in dress and action. 'So unlike the general run of these opera singers,' said one of the ladies, and, turning to a gentleman, she said: 'By the way,Mr. Jones, yon were at tbe opera teat night, bow waa Mtas Carev dressed?' 'In tights,' was the answer, and the conversation changed Good by, there's my cue. If put one word in the papers about me I'll never speak another word to you again." ••And tbe great singer, who is as unaffected as she is great, tripped on the stage to bow to the hearty welcome which never fails her. Notwithstanding tbe statement. I do not look for her retirement within the next ten years, and her voice in certainly good iter the next twenty."

MAKING A CALL IN MISSISSIPPI. Southern Correspondent N. Y. Tribune. When you wish to call at the residence of a neighbor in Mississippi you do not go to the door and knock or ring the bell, as is usual in most places in the north. That would not be a safe or comfortable undertaking here. You proceed, usually on horse-back, to the "yard-fence" in front of the house and shout "Hallo!" You are answered at onoe by a chorus of dogs, which ootne leaping down the yard toward you like wild beasts hungry for their prey. As you contemplate their enormous sire, t'»eir number and evident ferocity, you congratulate yourself on being on horseback. About the time when you begin to wonder whether you will long be safe even in that position the man of the house comes to the- dooc and calls out, "Good morning! Won't ye 'light?" You mentally answer "Not just yet." and vour host walks down the path toward yon, making remarks about the weather or some such familiar topic aa he comes on. When he reaches the gate be says imperatively, "Well light!" As the dogs are by this time slowly re* tiring, looking disappointed but resigned (as if saying to themselves, "Bettet luck next time we shall eat him yet,") vou now alight, and you were not expected to Jdo so at any earlier stage of the proceedings.

The bo«t now says "Come in!"and yon walk slowly np the path together, conversing as you go. Arrived at the porch, or "gaHery" as it is called here, .1 the host says again, "Come in," bnt you do not go In. It wonld be ill-bred to enter at once. So you linger on the gallery, still conversing a minuteor two, and your friend says Imperatively this time, "Well, come in !n and then you go in. "In the old times," as people say here, to have gone at once to a planter's doer, without calling from tbe outside of tbe yard, and receiving an invitation from within tbe house, would have been evidence of unlawful or botf-

and would have exposed tbe visitor tbe chance of a greeting from a shot

fan.

At present tbe dogs are usually, soppose, tbe chief source of danger.

Thus the days passed happily until the last of our engagement came on, when a grand supper was given to Tom by his St. Louis friends and admirers.

It was given quite late, for the especial convenience of tbe actors and newspaper men and, of course, Crane and I .were expected to be on hand. WTUeu we arrived, about eleven or a little after, we found that it was a much sweller aflfcir than we had anticipated—a lot of city bloods gotten up in style—and such a supper—well, my mouth waters even now at the recollection. The night was bitterly cold, but the joyous scene within soon obliterated all remembrance of the bleakness without.

Toasts were drunk, speeches were made, and things, in faet, to use the expression of Mr. Byrou—I think it's Byron—went merry as a marriage bell.

I remember distinctly that, in our speeches, we talked a good deal about anakspeare. I believe people usually do on such occasions. I recollect distinctly that Tom got up and endorsed him very heartily and I kindly gave the weight of my evidence in his favor swearing, in addition, that Kean. Garrick and Kcmble, compared WW* my friend Tom, were the merest duffers.

The idea, of course, was to get him tipsy, but in this they failed. He had a hard head, apd, moreover, seemed to know when be had enougn. for at last, with qttiet dignity but perfect courtesy, he declined to drink any more, and no entreaties could move nim from his resolution. This astonished me somewhat, and, at the same time, interested me, and I went determined to one of them we finally concluded that he must be a poor relation or acquaintance of some one of the givers of the banquet who had kindly rung him in for a good feed. At all events, he seemed to be a harmless, inoffensive old duflfer, and as the speecnifying went on we gradually lost interest in him. Finally, however, when nearly everybody had spoken, and the thing began to flag

who sung what's your name, won't you please give us a speech—something about Shakspeare, you know he's the fellow?" The gabbing had been so invariably about the divine William, that there was a little laugh at this sally, and no wonder, but noDody expected the object of the Invitation to acquiesce.

I, for one, rather resented the fact that the rude but well meaning person had spoken to him so unceremoniously, because it immediately drew the attention of the whole party to the poor old fellow aud when forty or fifty well dressed men gaze at an ill dressed one, it seemed to intensify his shabblness.

Nobody, of course, thonght he would have the nerve to get up and say anything, but, by doggy, sir, he did.

He rose as calm and self-possessed as if making after-dinner speeches had been the business of hh life, and, after gracefully thanking the gentleman across the table for the compliment he had paid, and protesting bis inability to say anythingnew about the immortal bard when so many abler men and better speakers had preceded him, he launched out. Well, sir, in the course of my experience I have hoard a good many clever afterdinner speakers, and not a few roosters who could cackle very satisfactorily about Mr. Shakspeare but on this occasion I encountered the best after-dinner ker 1 have ever met, and heard, in fteen minutes, the roost satisfactory exposition of Shakspeare's genius to which it baa ever baen my fortune to listen. And the whole thing was done so easily, so effortlessly, that it was not until he finished that one realized that he had been listening alike to tbe profound critic and the accomplished orator. Of course youarefamiliar with Goldsmith's line: «And thone who eatne to «eeir remained to pray." Well, sir, that was exactly our case. When tbe old top got up we all intended to guy him, and when be sat down, we were all ready to worship him. There was a hurricane of applause. Tom Keene rushed up to him, grasped his hand enthusiastically, thanked Mm for tbe honor of his presence, and begged his name, ail might know to whom we were indebted. In tbe meantime, everybody bad crowded around to grasp his hand and congratulate him. For the first time the old man seemed to kwe self-poa-seasion.
