4 THE CHICAGO DATLY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, JULY 12, 1874, THE PHOTOGRAPHERS. TELEGRAPHING TUNES, Results of Mr. Elisha Gray's Electrical Invéstigations. Heo Is Able to Telegraph Music from Paris 1o Chicago. Experiments with His Newly-In- vented Telephone. Practical Bearings of His Re- searches. Twenty Messages May Be Sent Over One Wire at Once. The Theory of Musical Teleg- raphy. The science of electric telegraphy, though from the results already achieved oue might suppose ;the Jimits of its power were well- nigh exhausted, is considered by those who have made it life study, and are thus iutimate- 1y acquainted with its peesibilities, to bo still in its infancy. It might be supposed that, with the wonderful results which have crowned the suc- cessire experiments and inventions of electri- cians sinco the Bubtle power of electricity was first usod &8 & means of transmission, they would rest contout, and poiut to what their results bad alrendy achieved ns an answer to any unreasonable individusl who might pre- sume to demuud a search for further develop- ments and an iniprovement upon the systems of tolegraply at present in vogue. In thisage. however, the scientist's love of reaearcn, and lus determination to probe to the hottom any prob- lem whose soiution promises either to add to the light of scieace or to prove of practical utilicy to mankind, is unceasing and fixed. The oid and new hemispheres aro no sooner made one with the throb of an electric pulae 3,000 miles in length, | han the idea of girdling the earth is decided | upon, and, while this gigantic scheme is ap- proaching completion, the clectrician looks for new fields for his fertile and ineatiable brain. With a proper devotion the electrician recovers the power be ntilizes 25 one which can be ap- plied in the promotion of all branches of iho arts and sciences, the only thing requisite being the discovery of the peculiar way in which it is to be applied to" produce the result required. Binca the application of electric-telegraphy to trans-ocean service the great problom has been the INCREASING THR CAPACITY OF THE SINGLE WIRE and the consequent cheapening of the rates to the public. The prospect for the accomplish- ment of either of these resnlts bas been any- thing bat promising. Beveral discoveries have been made, which, however, Lave been more ro- marksbie a8 evidences of their inventors’ genius than a¢ possessing any very practical advan- tages. Tho latest attempt at increasing the capacity of & single telegraplio wire has been made by a Chicago electrician, Mr. Elsba Gray, Saperin- tendent of the Western Electric Manufacturing Company, and his inventicn is 80 novel, 8o bold 8 step ous of the beaten track into & new and almost illimitable bracch of electric science, that the following description of the invention, ordis- covers, is placed before curreaders. Air. Gray's invention i nothing more or less than a com- bined spplication of certein hitherto undis- covered electrical and certain already discov- ered scoustic principles. With these properly applied and controlled he professes to be able to TRANSMIT S0UND OF ANY DESIRED PITCH along a telegraphic wire with as much accuracy | 18 the operator sends an ordinary message. 1n ehort, eitting in Chicago be can send note ** Do™ to New York, “Re” to Philadelphia, “Mi” to New Orleans, and o forth, or, if pecessery, on the Fourth of July in_cach yesr, s xn amiable groting to Jobn Bull, s represented by the Privy Counail in session at London, he could regale their ears with the soul-inspiring melody of Yankes Doodle played in Washiogton by the President, Gen. Lutler, tie Secretary of the War Dopariment, or any other appropriate person whoss musical educa- tion hsd no: been in youth neglected. MORY WONDERFUL ST} Mr. Gray claims that it i qute possible and praciicable thata Chicago sudience could enjoya quartetts the performera of which will play thewr parts respectively in New York, New Orleans, 8an Fraocisco, 2od Duluth. With = view to placing betore its readers some idea of the ua- ‘ture of this new wonder a TRIDUNE reporter cali- ed yesterdsy upon Mr. Gray, the inventor, at the workshop on Kinzia street of tho Western Elec~ tric Manufacturing Company. Mr. Gray at once submitted to an interview as follows: WHAT 15 1T? RBeporter—Mr. Gray, I believe that you have perfectod an invennon which promisce to open up a new erain telegraphing. In the fewest words what do you call it? r. Gray—An electrical apparatus for trens- mitting musical sounas of auy desired pitch tele- graphically, i Teporter—What is the object of your appa-~ ratoa? Mr., Gray—Its object is the transmission of masical sound from one place to another by esns of on electric current, in such & manner that the pitch of the sound received iy be detormmed or controlled at its destia- tion by mesns employed for that purpose at the place from which the sound is sent, and to that end my invention consists in producing the | souna by means of an electric current operating in connection with one or more vibrating pisces arranged to interrupt the circuit by their vibra- tions, and in connection with s sound-piece for Toceiving or reproducing the pitch. Reporter—Unless 1 sm mistaken, sound has already been transmitted by electric force. WIHAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN DONE. 3r. Gray—I am aware tbat sound has been Produced by this raeaus, but this sound, 8o far 28 1 am aware, has not been strictly tzansmittod or reproduced heretofore by means of an elec- tric current, but has reswited from the siriking together of certain parts of theinstrument oper— sted upon, tha concuseion at one instrument be- iug eimulcaneous, or nearty so, with thas at the other. A monotona has thus beon produced ata distant instrament, ana the pitch determined by the ,i;m thers brought together,—for instance, tha Morse apraratus at present 10 use. msza;:ix—;rhun ;.!:; point of your invention is e roproduction of the same note st a distance ? Ar. Gray—Exnetly. e EXPERIMENTS MADE. Reporter—Cao a mosical sound in its pris- tine purity be transmitted over an electrical wire of any length? Mr. Gray—I bave made an experiment which sstisfles me that & musical sonnd can b trans- mitted 4,000 milea without losing any of its cor- re;:ness of tg‘ne.l X eporier—Will it not lose greatly in volume i such s distance? ey i r. Gray—That deponds opon the nature of :\zg yeceiver, of which tuie hereafter. Its lumo may be grester or less accordicgly than that of the eriggll sound trnmmmed.s % Beporu: Wh:l’flfl APPARATUS. rter—What apparatus 6o you employ in producing these \\'nndperful results 7 e \AIr. Giay—The sending instrument is an electrical organ, of which every rced is so con- structed as to length and thickaess as to give b & note of a given musical pitch, When @ key is depressed 1t closos tho electrical cur- Tent, which connects with o megoes which con- Lrols @ certain reed.

Tn my et oxpesiments, 1 oube of Begessary 1o have living tissue in the oircuit at the receiving end. Raporter—A buman bolng + Gray—That vga “w kind of living tisens employed. A cat would do as well, though. I can do away with the living tissue, Lowever, “substituting therefor an electro-magnet. UTILIZATION. Reporter—Well, granting that the sound can be transmitted, how can iv be utitized ? Afr. Gray—The utes to which the apparatus may be applied are*varions. In telegruphy, for instance, instead of transmitting messages by mesns of the Aorse slpbabet now in general s, tones pitched to correspond with the lotters may b employed, and thoso tones can bo pro- duced mneh more rapidly than the printed or impressed dashes could be made. and would be lese than the jotermiesions required for that purpose. In other words, the dashes could each be denoted by a corresponding pitch of sound re- ceived, and tle time required to denote a dush would’ thus be no longer than that required for a dot; or dots and dusbes may both be denoted in this maunmer. A skillful operator cadablo of quickly distinguishing ono pitch from unother, cculd thus readily interpret 2 message. he receiving operator may, by bringiug his earin contact’ with the sounding piece, bave both bands free to send & mestuge. The recording may be accomplished by means of Sholes & Gliddens type-writer, wizh which ex- pert operators can record about eighty words a minute. Of course, u new aiphabet cousiating entiraly of dots would have to be employed where each letter way reprosented by a note of differont pitch. Theso dots would be identical 29 regurgs daration_ with the Morse dot. Tho saving of time by this change would bo equal to four to one. ELECTRICAL FORCE REQUIRED. Reporter—Does the transmitting of sonnd re- quire a greater or a less elactzical force than or- dinary telegravhing ? i Mr. Gray—>Muc lers. For ordinary sound- telegraphing purposes’ much loss than a hun- dredth part of the battery power now required would be suflicieat. In this rospect it mzy bo emploved with grear advantago in conncction ith marine cables and wires. 1 believe th:ar with two, orac most three, cups, 2,000 miles of aerial lmes could be worked on tho sound sys- tem, where not less than 2,000 cups aro at pres- ont amployed. TWENTY MESSAGES AT ONE TIME. Roporter—Are tho increased rate of speed, and the diminution it necessary buttery-power the only practical advantages your system bas over the old one? S Mr. Gray—No. The great advantage lies in the fact that I belizve in workiny by eound- tranymission. As many a8 twenty or moro mes- sages cen be seut over a eingle wiro at tho sams time witlout auy confusion a: tho receiving of- fice. Without going into the scisnce of acous- tics to any great depth, I will mention that one of ita principles is goiug to Lelp us produce tho resuli Iauticipute. Take a tunmg fork, vi- brato it, and puss it aioug tho wouthe of tho pipes of an orgau, anl you fiad tuat, whilo in those of a different key from the fork to effect is | produced, the momett the fork is placed oppogito the pipe of sthe same key the Jatter will pive out asound. I believetont this principls is spplicable in sound-telegraphy. ‘Au operator telegraph- ing at the trunsmithng end of the wire sonds all his messages in one sustained note maintained by the vibration of & reed tuned o grive forth a certain musical note which is in unison with an organ-pipe at the recciving end. Several operators, esch working the ordiary Morse alybabet in o diferent note, oan, I be- liove, sond and receive messsges over the samo wire without confusion. Reporter—Then the increase in speed will be | in Tatio to the number of operators at work on each wire ? Jir. Gray—More than that even. In sub- marine cables an operator at work on one note will be able to transmit 'hree times as fast as an operator doe« at present. Reporter—In how mauy notes do you think messages can bo transmitted slong a singlo | wire ? Alr. Gray—As far 23 can be seen, I know no Teason why there should be any lLimit outside of the limit of musical souud of distinct pitches. Reporier—What success have you already ob- tained 1o the joint transmission and distinct re- ception of musical sounds ? T Mr. Gray—In experimenting with a resistance coil I have successfully tranamitted simultane- ouely and received separately four distinct wusical sounds. ‘THE LIMIT. Reportor—What do you consider to be the | limit of musical pitches capable of being am- | ployed. Mr. In seven octaves there are about eighty-iive distinet musical notes. ‘o avoid tho confusion which might arice from the employ- ment of two notes of nearly tho same pitch, I woula use ouly notes removed trom one auother | by four or five intervening notes, Reporter—Ihat would leave abont tweoty notes avalinble, and, with the cacacity of tels- graphing in each threo times as fast os by the present method. the capacity of a singla wire will be increased about sixty-six tumes ? Mr. Gray—Ihat is the m:nimum practical re- sult which I trust will be obtained. TELEGRAPHING TUNLS. Reporter—1o drop tue practical view of the matter, do you really think that 1t will lie in your power to teiogiaph a tune from Chicago to & remoto Americen city ? Mr. Gray—Yes, and to 28 many of them as | are supplied wich telegraphic connections and n Proper receiver. Reporter—\What regulates the quality of the : music ? Mr. Gray—Tge quality of the tone at the re- ceiving end ie determined by the pature of tho receiving apparatus, the time, and tune by tho musician who plays the electrical instrument at tho transmitting end of the wiro. 1f a piece of paver e tho rocciver, the tono is precty much ike that produced by the comb-organ which we used to griud tunes out of in our early days; ifa violm, the tone is full and resonant, and Just as if tho violin were played on with a bovw, this oven though tae instrament played by the musician was s piano. An oyster-can is by no | means a poor receiver. Reporter—1hen, 1 suppose, if an empty beer- barrel ware used as 2 receiver, it would convert the music into a People’s_party stump oration ? Mr. Guay (very gravely)—That 18 & matter I caunot determive. Reporter—Have you made any transmissions of sound over & long length of lino instead of employing resistance coils ? Mr. Geay—In New York City, recently, I had the use for one experiment of the serial line from New York to Detroit and back by way of Boston, and for another of tho lines from New York to Washington xnd return, Reporter—Hoi did the exveriments succeed ? Ar. Gray—Perfecily. A tuno was played which went the round of both trips. The iastru- ment on which the tune was played gave out tones which couid only be heard aa jach or two from the instrument, while the volume which the violin-receiver cmitted filled the room. THE TELEPHONE, Roporter—What do you call tbe instrament which provides the music ? Lr. Gray—I cail 1t a telephone. The one with which I made experiments m New York is stiil there, but I am having avother one made hers of two octaves, with which Iwill illustrate the working of my invention if you will atep this WhYy. - "The inventor stepped into the workshop of the Compauy, aud showed the roporter his now tel- «phone, itto which as_ yet only four reeds had been inserted. Having made an clectric con- nection with it, he too the end of the wire into aroom at the eadof tho workshop, shut the door, and waited for the sound of the notes to come from the jostrument which he had in- structed o gentleman to play, Tho wire conduction and resisiance coil between the tele- phono and the soundor, which was simply o small tin box with openings on the upper sur- face, was equal to avout 500 miles of acrial line, yet the notes from the receiver ounded cloarly and correctly. In overy rospect the experimont was successful. 1t is now about four months since Mr. Gray first conceived the iden of telographing musicsl sonnds. Tuat e has mado good use of hus time any ose who suw tho exporiment wouid be wiiling to admit. Thoideais indorsed by the Lighest electric nutirority of the United States a oo not only of great. practical utility. but also worthy of deep study, and likeiy to open nerw fields of speculation and discovery to olectricians. Whethor the elecuric authorities of the Old World indorse this view will be soon found out, ns Mr. Gray is zoing to England ina fow dayx, whore he wiil submic lus invention to Prof. 'Ivndall. If he savs it is 8 good thing, Alr. Gray will require no further indorsement. A Daring Leap for $20. From the Cincinnati Cemmercial, July 7. About 8 o'clock yesterday aftermoon, & boy named John Loasser, 18 or 19 yeara old, & worser in a machine-shop on Wext Front street, jnmped {rom the the Cincinnati and Covington susy sion bridge on & wager of §20, and the perform- ance was_ carefalls prepared for, kis having been provided and maaned to save the foolish jouth from drowning. There wero only a few Epectators, as the periormiance was privato, but Leauser climbed on one of the rails, 6 fect aposo the floor of the bridge, buttoned his ccat, and jumped. He struck the water with his feet, dis— appeared for a few seconds, and came to the sur- face ail right. He was picked up by one of the 8kiffs, and conveyed to the steamer Pat Rogers. Tho distance {rom the rail to tha surfaco of the water, perpendiculurly, is 103 feot. The wonder is, that death did not ensue from the concussion or shock to the aretem produced by the sudden contact with the water from such & vast height, MUCH MARRIED. The Experiences of Mrs, Ellen Humphrey. She Is Kow Trying to Get Rid of Her Fifth Husband, Her Eventful Life with Mr. Letord. Indiscreat Donation by Mr, Seth H, Bohall, What She Suffered at the Hands of that Person. His Rejoinder. It is & remarkablo experience with all jonrnal- ists that once 2 woman gets her name into tho newspapers, she can never afterward, by any chance, be got to keep it out until death doth squelch her. Such is the case in the person of Mre. Humplrey, whose first name 18 Ellen, and who has disposed of more husbands during her carcer of five-and-thirty summers than Honry VIIL of bappy memory did wives during bis somewhat turbulent reign. The widow is a lady of good proportions, 2nd not unkandsome to look upon, although there is in Ler almond-shaped, vemi-Oriental eye a latent firs that tetls of aquick wit and inflammable tomnper on provocation. HOW MBS. HCMFHREY COMMENCED HER CANEER history averreth not. That she did not rise, like YVeuus, from the sea, may bo considered a sottled fact. Her eves fust saw the light in the fair City of Toronto, Canada, about a ecore and fifteon years ago, mud. since that period, she has had quite an eventful life. At 14 years of age she was, resemblivg 'at Mulloy, as far a8 sex and the color of her hair would per- mit Ler, her mother's darling, and was pariial to bread and butter and candy. But thers aroso, about this time, upon her path THE STAR OF MATSINONT in the shape of her first husband, & gentleman named Marline, who was nearly old enough to be her father, and who loved her in that doting fushion peculinr to senility. They lived together for a fow vears, and, by this alliance, the youtl- ful Ellen bad a daughter, who was buptized Ellen Marline. This child grew up to be a pretiy gitl, aud blossomed into premature womauhood, of wiuch, however, more herentter. ? JANUARY AND ¥AY never did and never can agros. Therefora it Is ot to be wondered at that Mr. Marline's young wifa grow restive, tnd longed to be at liberty, Mr. Marline rentovod to Buffalo, where he ‘ownad some property, bringing his wife and child wloug with him. In thav city he was attscked by a malignant dissase, which speedily carried him off. leaving the fair Ellen & blovming ana well-to-do widow. As may bo imnagined, she d:d not remain vory long a relict. ‘T'he pretty widow was not long in malung acquuintances, and among theso was MR. W. I DILLON, * who was coonceted with some of the Boffalo pepers. This was Ellen’s bappiest effort in the mutrimonial lino; **butab, feil Death’s untimely frost” mipped Mr. Dillon in the bud, and his wife wag left alone, but not unconsolabls, once mere. Tired of shedding dutiful tasrs over the gravos of two husbauds, I len couceived that Butfalo would be a good place to emigrate from, and, ac- coxdingly, TULNED HER FACE TOWARD CHICAGO, reaching this city about hslf a score of years 0. Saon after arriving bare she became ac- " quuinted with a gentlomsu pamed Humphre, and the parties became intimate, whether pla- tonically or ctherwise cannot be definitelv uscor- tained ; but Elisu assumed the name of Humph- rey, and, wuile beariog it, set up A FINST-ULASS BOARDING-HOUSE on Scuth Jeilerson street and entevod on the hap- pr tack of mopey-muking. AMrs, Huwnphrey par- sued this vocation, uutroubled, for some yeurs, when her Hum:hiey wiuged bis way to othar 1andy, and sha was Ieft to moam. TLNTER LXTORD. In the month of Juue. 1871, the widow felt an inclination, oue very suliry day, to have her bair shampooned, and, in order to gatify her desire, sent down to Tony Delight's barber-shop tor o tonsorial artist. Frank Letord, a Frenca Cava- dian, was employed in the concera at the time, ud was detailed by the boss to attend to the b. Frank armved at Mrs. Humphrey's houre in due season, and was ourapturea by the wealth of raven hair which it was bis prond priviicge to cleanso with borax and pure cas- tite. He lingerod over that “shsmpooing” longer than barberic low allows, used tho sofiest of towels, and, in fact, made himself intensely agreeabls. Such atten- tion on the part of & high-toned barber made a deop impression on the widow's heart, Frani wag invited to *call again,” which bo did, and sgain, until Mrs, Humphrey's afoctions wero completely captared, oud bher cry was: My barber or deatn! " 'Now Frank, to do him jus- tice, was willing enongh to soothe the woes of widowhood, but, confound it, THERE WAS THIS OBSTACLE IN THE WAY : he bad & youngand pretty wife—whose name was Julis—living. Here wus a ditticulty. True, lo Lad grown tired of his Julia, and yearne mightily atter the widow,* who waa well up in cash, but the law wos in his wav. Still, like the fly in the spider's wev, Letord-bad got his feet entangled, and could not very Landily get them frce again, HANG THE LAW. But Julia was nct long in discovering that the affection of ber busband was on the wane. Sho bad him wstched, and bis rash footsteps wero tracad to Mre. Humphrey's home. Mesawhile, Letord bad conquered conscience, and had actually made a proposition of marriage to the widow, who, not suspecting his existing embar- rassment, Tapiurously consented tomake him Lappy. Oue day, however, Julis, the bous fide vife, appenred at rs. Humpbray's Louse, 2. to thac lady stated the entire circumstanceX, and showed ber marriage-certificate. The widow insisted that her visitor should stay unt Frank came aloug, which he did without much delay. Of course, A BCENE of the most startling proportions followed. Frank protested that Julis and he wers not marricdat all. The widow had to interfere be- tween the parties to pravent bloodshed, for Lo- tord was one of thors cluvalric persons who do not hesitate to strive 2 womsn when they foel likeit. Juiia ficd the house, and instituled legal proceedings, mz]nf a bill for divorce in the Su- perior Court. Her document turned out to be all correct, but, owing to some legal hitch, the cage was uot speedily disposed of, and, mean- while, Mrs. Humpbrey and Fraok were marriad and went housekeeping together. THIS INCENSED JULIA, who, althongh sho did not care for Frank her- gelf, hated to see bim in the arms of snother, so eho had Frenk arrested on the charge of baving ageaulted ber, and broken her parasol, at Mrs. Humphrey's houce. The case wau triod in s Justico court. 'Tho widow became Letord’s wit- noss, but, although sbo ewore Lesitily in_his favor, the barber was fined, and longuished in the County Jail until his inamorata paid the fino, when Frank ard she resumed thoir peculiar relations toward each other, Julia, on the otber band, allowed her legel procecdings to grow rusty, and did not press her enit for divorce. Being a woman of enterprise, ¢he determined not to remsin idle, aud set up & *‘boarding establishment,” of more than doubt- ful reputation, on the same thoronghfare inliab- ited by her rival. THE DAUGHTER APPEARS. The next we heur of Mrs. Humphrey, or, es she then called hersolf, Letord, is on ay 4, 1878, when sl prosecuted &_young man named Dasid Casbou for bavingabducted her daughier Ellen and married her. Cashen was charged by the mother with perjury, becauso he wore thay young Ellen was 15 veurs old, and so procured & martiago license, while, iu 'reality, tho girl ¥as hardly more than 14." This brought around another mess of litigation, which resulted in the return of the caild-wifo to her mother's custody, and Cashen was left to bewzil his szd fate. Tho girl was truneported to Canads, in which region she now blooms like 2 young roge-tree,” JULIA REAPPEARS, The name of her hated rival. appeariog onca mote in print aroused tho slumbering ire of Julia, who, in =y, 1678, mnatitnted prozecdiogs for bigamy sgainst Letord and the widow, in Justice DoWolt's Court. Although it appearad in evidenco that Letord hed buen marrled to Julia in Boclester, N: Y., the detlndnt; Ewm and then went to room at No. 118 Sonth Jeffer- son street, where she romuined until Juue 19. THE TWO BILLS OF BALE to dofendant hiad been drawn up, but the consid- oration bad not passed, and the salo was not ef- fected, but the bills were put into the hands of complzinant to keep, after gbe had become his wife. On the 80th of Jlay, 1874, sho cansed do- fendant’s arrest upon a warrant on pretense of disorderlv conduct, aud, while ho was in dur- » | ance, took possession of No. 933 South Clark strect and pretended to loase the same to willing parties, her conspirators, aud the same day, near , he went to tho honse of Lester as before stated, and since that time defendant has been foroibly provented from possession of said premises. Upon attempting o take an inventory under lettors of administration, he was arrested by one Lawrence, who got up the bill for de- fendant, who clarges conspiracy between them. Wherefore ho orays for dismissal of sait. And now, when' this case, which is s0on to be tried, has boen decided, and Mr. Humphrey goos freo, two great questions anse: How long will it be before she ia marricd again, and bow soon will her name reappear in the papers ? —— THE COURTS. Miscellaneous RDusiness Transacted Yenterday. THE TROUDLES OF A BOBROWER. Elizabeth Haas filed a bill in the Circuit Court Baturdsy apainst the Chicago Building Society and L. L. Greenlea! to restrain a sale undera trust deed. Complainant states that iu Septem- ber, 1872, being the owner of Sub-Lot 7, of Lot 113, in Bronson’s Addition, and 2180 of Sub-Lot 2, of Lot 112, in the eame addition, she borrowed $11,000 of the Chicago Building Saciety. To se- cure this sne gave two notes and a {rust deed, the notes being es sho supposed for 11,000 with intercst at 8 per cont. Some little time ago she was surprised to learn she had migned two notes for $12,381.60 each, with iater~ ost et 10 per cent. Sue alleges that she is & Germsu, unacquainted wil the English languaze, and that she left the busi- ness to C. R. Brooke. who took sdventage of hor iynorance, and in making the notes computed interest at 10 per cenc in montbly payments, added this to the $11,000, dividad the sum into 1monthly pa ymenta with 10 cer cent more added in the notos, making tho rate of interest 37: per cont. The notes are paet due, and the So- cioty bave advertwad the premises for sale, Complainaat tuinks this_is not qui.e fair, and sccoraingly asks an injunction, which® was granted. P discharged. Still unsatisfied, Julis bronght ac- linnhftrrghving in a stoto of adultery, but, owing to her own unenviable reputation, the suit came to nothing. This tired hor out und she resolved to let matfers take their comse. Letord, *like a warnor L’Akjng his rest,” was loft to the en- Joyment of his new-found Lappiness. EXIT LETORD. But widowsare provertually ficklo. There was much truth and more philosopby in that Pic wickian caution, * Sam, bovaro of tte vidders. Hardly bad the prosccution for adultely died away when the widow discovered thut Frank was ot balf as nice follow as she thougnt e was st firat. His babits wero too expensive, and ho had a bad fashion of getting drauk snd becow- ing abusive, Ellen could wot lorg endure this, 50, June 1, 1873, thero was & grend explosion, aud Frank was plamly given to understand that he was out of fuvor, und must leave his happy Lome and altar free. He of course refused, and Mra. Humphrey, playfully overiooiing the fact that ber marringe with bim had been “null and voud, instituted proceediugs for divorce, a synop- sisof which, with the result thereof, iy herewith given: . The complainantin thiscause, which was hoard in tbe Superior Court cn Nov. 20, 1873, was mur- ried to ¥rank Lotord at Chicago, Aug. 1, 1871, Sho lived with Lim as lus wife until June 1, 1873, when she left him on account of hus Laving an- other wife living, and general ill-trentment. In her bill complainant churged defendant with being previously marriod ot Rochester, N. Y., the date of this marnage, bowever, not being specitled. She further charged him with com- milting adultery with Frances Stewart and s number of lewd women, whoso names woro un- known to her. Defendant bad ured the most vile and opprobrious langusge towards her, and Lis genoral conduct was o violent and cruol thit sao feared Lo would kill her, on more than one oceasion he having threatened to do so. Un the eveuing of the 1ith of October, 1873, he wmado s fierce aztnck upon hor at her residenca on South Jofferson street, cruelly beating and kicking her, and damaging Ler furiture to a geoat oxtent. Tho decreo was grauted. Letord, whose Loart was a3 neurly broken as the heart of u barber could well be, took up Lis traps, and hied hum to New York City, where Le now, no doubt, is wiuning®tha affection of other widows, and i3 industriously preparing s new patch of divorce popers. NEXT.

St, Petersourg Correspandence of the New York Tsmes, Some years ago an Iialian gontloman, the Marcii Incortrsi, who was gt the time the Sec- 1elary of the Italinn Legation Lere. formed au intiniacy with 8 cotlain Princess Galatzin, who, in wpite of the fact that her husband was stil alive, nas geoeraliy recogmized as the mistress of the Marquis. It appears that Priucess Ga- Kuchacloff, by wlom sho is _caid to have been found upon & door-step. Prince Galatzin after his marriage to this_ lady led a very dissipated Tife, und squandered s considerable portion of the fortuns of the Countess Kuchaeleff, who on seversl occasions puid off bis debts for him. About three yoars 3go, when the intimacy bo- tween tho- Princess and Incoutrai bad existed for some timo, the Prince determined to obtain a divorcs, but instead of commencing proceedings himself, he ,pro- posed to the Jarquis that his wife should ineti- tute a enit for divorco agaiust bim on the ground of his inddelity. Now, as Iucontrai desired to marry the Princess, thére wea not much diticul- ty in arrapgicyg this affair, and, in conjunction with the Prince, ha bribed several witnesses, moujiks (peasants,) dorniks (men of all work abous tho bouse,) and others, to give false evi- donce against hila. Theso men swore befors tho proper tribunal that the Prince had been uufaithful to bis wife, 2nd upon this evidence & docreo of divorce was spoedily obtainad. The divorce baving beer granted, the Aarquis mar- ried Princess Galatzin and went to italy, where he lived with his wife i Florence, and else- whero, until & couple of months siuce. Prince Grlatzin went to Sfokcow immediately aftor bis TIE ANSWER to tha bill is & lengtly document, embracing ten pages of wide, closeiy-written foolscap. The substance of the answer iy, that the dofendant, admitting the mariage by AIr. McCready, degies that complainent conducted herself 2s a chlste and honest wife; that on the 15th day of April, 1874, he insulted, abused, or assaulted said com” plainant io the least particular. le also denice that on the same date ho ejected ber from her Lome at 354 Wabaua avenue, or that on the 15th doy of April he threatened to take her lifa with o sword-cane, and also denies that o forced complaipant to leave her home at that or any tiwe, or rofused her clothiog aud support. After o muititade of other denialy, defendant 150 denies the correctness of the property men- tioned in detail, and presents as tho facts that ail the porsonal property and effecis now in said | divorce, and, whila there, Le mada the building Luown as No. 833 South Clark stroet | acquaintanco ' of s wealthy widow lady, rhica was thera at thetime thebill wasiiled [ to whom he ultimately proposed mar- wwas the property aud effects of Mary A.

Chicago on the Slst of An- gast, 1673, leaving no child, end that ot ber deceage she and tho defendant were in joint possession of No. 333, which belonged tober of her own right. The dofendant fur-- thor states that Le took out letters of admini tration on tho estato from the County Court, on the 11th of June. 1874, and appraiscrs wero ap- pointed, and list of proparty returned, which includes tle house, beds, furmture, efe. Tho defendant furtior Btates that complainant, for two months previous to his marrige, was in bis employ, at No. $33 south Clark screst, and sho then well know that all the property belonged to tho estate of Aary A. Boball, and thas at that time sbo fully understood that defendant was using guch provarty as the property of Mary's cepted him. Eveats, so far, had gone smoothly enough, but nov a difficalty aroso'n the way of the marrisge, because, according to Russian laws, the Prince could not marry a secoad timo until afier the death of tho lady from whom ho bud been divorcad, as he_had been the respond- eut to thio suit, and tho decie bud been aranted in consequenco of his infidelity. Priuceas Ga- Iatzin, howover, having—so far ag was proved by the ovidence' adduced—been tho nggrieved party, waa to all intenta und purposes & femine sole, aud, as such, could, of course, be lanfully morried to Incontrai. It did not take the Prince long to overcomo the obstacle, for he at ouce denounced tne moujils, &c., who had given evi- denco against im. They wero arrested, and charged bofore the authorities with baving come mitted - perjury in the divorce suit. Evidence was given of their having accepted bribes, and the case having boen proved to the satis- fuction of the Court, they were sentenced to Leaishment in Siberis, and loft for wat place a ostate.

Tho caso seems svenue, eho taking charge at times of the soatis Lalf of the building known as 333 South Clark street, and that no dissatisfaction arose until aboat tao middle of April, 1874, when said com- plainzat ABSENTED HERSELY FOR ONE NIGHT {rom the house, which displeased defendant, and bemads his objections known in proper lan- guage, at which she pretended to take of- fenseand left the house, aud romained away one ight, and taen returned aod said that sie would not conduct herself that way again.

The photographers of Chicago beld a prelii nary meeting last evening at the Exposition Building, for the parpose of listening to the re- port of the Commitiee of Arrangements for the coming convention. Mr. A. Bogardus, of New York, the permanent Prosident of the Photogra- phers’ Association, was present, but declined the chair in favor of Mr. Rolofson. Mr, A. Hesler, on behalf of the Committee, stated that all the arrangements were ready for hanging the pictures, and that an exhibition in every way o:editable to the Association would be given. He also expressed his belief that the attendance of visitors would be very great. At the closo of his remarks ME. BOGARDTS was called for, and responded briefly. He said that he had just arrived from New York, and was mach gratified at the prospect presented. The formal gathering then adjourned to the main ball, where some stereopticon views were shown upon canvas screens. The public exhi- tiop, to such ae are invited, will begin Tuesdsy evening. A spaco 160x180 feet in the central portion of the building has been partitioned off, aud this, with the art gallery su tho wings, will give ample opportunity to exhibit the pictures to the greatest advantage. The room will also bo decorated with flags and evergreens, and the fountain will play, Alto- gether the scene will be both beantiful and “unique, and it is excected that the Exposition Bailding will be the popular resort duriug the week, THE EXHIDITORS. 2 .

He cuta rod of iron in two wity | it, and no perceptible efect was produced nyn the ax by the operation. Afr. Parker has quice an extensive collectim of pieces of pottery which he dugout of thea ruins. He brought with him to the city seven! specimens which he haas presented to the Ala The veasels wore evidently made of clay, which is now of a dara gray color and as bard as stone, Tho suriaces are nicely glazed and covered with lines and characters or different colors from tas word. One pisce has a black surface, covered with yellow, irregular lines, and surround ed by & mimilar colored border or wedge shaped characters. Another piece is cor- ered with white acd black figures, the lines being more regular than in the other piece, snd containing on 1ts surface what is known among printers oy a ** Roman border,” outsids of which are serrated rows of black and striped iines, the whole beiug swrounded by ciroular Lmes of white and biack. Among the collection befors ns is & whit travslucent stone, which looxs s if it bubbled ont from a seething mass of the eaxe material. It is flinty io character sud will cut gluss. There are three smaller stones of the same variety, esch conimining s crimson hzg, the smaller being quite rod and brulanc, Be sides these there are two pebbles of ebony hus externaily, but which, upon being held up to tho light, are perfectly transparent. Ooe of them has been broken in two, aod the surfsce presented 1s a8 smooth and brfliant as that of & polished crystal. ) ; A careful examination shows that thersiss Jarge canal exzending from the Gila River, s1te ozstern end of the valley, down through thsse ancient cities, in each of “which is found a Jarge trianguiar-suaped leservoir, aud contalningfrua three to five acres. Thee reservoirs have bear reported vy parties who Lave made but s casnal examiuation of them as the runs of old fortif: cations. The edges of the canal and reserver are laid with stone and are coustructed in a very subs.antial mauner. Some of the reservolr which were 6 or 8 feet deep, are cut io twolf walls of masonry extending zrom gide to side. On the bauk of the Gila River, or about!0 miles below Florence, are the ruins of a mostsi- gular structure—s buildiag 51 by 57 feet, bul of adobe, which i now 80 bard that s pick cas- Dot be driven into it. There ara two wa.ls —a building within s building—which 18 separated sbout 10 or 12 feet, and which are between 28 and 30 inches thick'at the base. Io the walls, up sbout 9 feer, and extonding € tirely around tbe structure, was piaced at ta® time the building was put up a row of cecar beams, which probably served to_brace sad stiengthen the building.

'There are now thiee stories of tia walls still stauding in one piace. The windows are long and narrow, and seom to have b3 placed where they were needed and without rée gavd to external symmetry. The doors ara the corners.

It iy probablo that 1t WAl & church, or, if that paople did zot worshlp 6%, idols may have received adoration there. Near this building, 2nd at other points $mo! these ruined cities, are still staadiog row cedar posts, set on very accurate lnes. I upper ends of these posta look old, sud bse boen worn by the eloments, atill they are 1t good state of preservation.
