MONROE ¥8, MONROE. Tt seems as though there was something in the srganization of tho ordinary loafer which enables him by some kind of instinct to discover any caso juvolying divorce, breach of promise of marriage, seduction, inbuman treatment, or any of the other ordinary or extraordivary sccompanimonts of tho marriage relation, and a court-room is sure to be filled, Crow No, 1 drops in and crow No, 2, after waiting # few minutes, followa to noo on what bis predecessor is feuding. Then crow ‘No. 3, catching a glimpse of the attentive mugs pf lis brothers, of course follows, to get a “ divide.” ‘A case was on trial before Judgo Farwoll yos- tordsy which, although involving vothing that could feeds pracivnt appetite, being a quarrol between husbsud and wife, naturally attracted a good andionce. ‘Tho sult was that of Sarah Monroe against her husband, Elisha L, C, Mon- roe, for separate maintenance, Doth partios are eminently respectablo iu appearance, Mr. Mton~ roo being engaged in the froight oflico of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southera Railroad, and uth aro old enough to be able ta keep the two maxims which are recommended to Sun- Gay-uchool scholas, of “Bear” and “furbear.” Mra, Monros sald that gue wea marriod im April, 1870, and lived with him until June 27, 1873, when hor spouso ro- marked ono morning: “If you dou’t apply fora divorce I shall light out, and leave you to gluft for yoursolf.".
