The New York Tridune of the of the débutof the young Vv Dengremont, as follows: “Maurice Dengre- mont, the youn Graziliau violinist, made bis tirst appedirance in this country az Koster & Binl's Concert-Garden inst evening. So tar us mere technique gous, his uttainments are amaz- ing. ‘There is probably no violinist now in this country save Wilbelmj whose tone is superior to hisin breadth, richness, and purity, and his command of the finger-board is searcely less wonderrul. Rapid and involved passages, runs, trills, and arpeggios ure given with the most constimmate cise ard with faultless taste, and his tone in the most difticult harmonic pas- sages ig absolutely true. But more remarkable thin his technical power, and more valuable, is the thoroughly intelixent, scholarly, and artistic ebaracter of bis interpretations, free from crud- ity and boyishness, and shuwing the spirit and dioughtfulness rather of a master than a scholar. His selections last night, which inetuded a Noe turne by Choptu, transcribed by Surasate, and Leonard's *Suuventr de flaydn,’ beside the cou- verto, were none of them of a Kind to cull out the bighest intellectual qualities of an artist, but those which they did cal! out were of a very high order. He played the concerto with grace, ease, and finish, making light of all difticulties of execution, and displaying in the slow movement admirable taste and pure sentsment, and in the Chopin Nocturne ne showed deep poetic feeling. Later, when he shull have played some of the greater concertos, it will be easier to tell just how great an artist he is.” MUSICAL NOTES. For a new libretto by Arvigo Boito, Verdi has remodeled his old opera “Simone Boccanegra.” He will go to Milan to put this work on the stuge in February. ‘The New York Metropolitan Music-Hall, which started last spring ns an up-town rival to Roster & Bial’s, with Itudotph Bronson us leader, and which even Theodore Thomas could uot’ pull tbrough. is now used as a skating rink. ‘Tho fact is, Roster & Bial’s hall is haudsome enough for the average New-Yorker, and toowell grounded in popular favor to be easily overturned. Tho French opera company which 'T. W. Hal- leck, of Boston, brought over from Paris in the fail, has come to gricf at Albany, having been money almost from the start. There are bree of them, f ao talk English, and all seem to be negriy destitute. Some got to New York by leaving their bageare in pawn, and about twenty were at last accounts still unable to get awny from Albany. The New Orleans Times says: “ Signor Bal- danza, who will be remembered us one of the de- luded members of the unfortunate Tastapictra ‘Opera Company, is now in this city, and will, with the sid of local amateur talent, give a concert on the 19th fost.at Gruoewald Hall. Signor Baldanza is anxious to return to Spain, where his frieuds are, and where, itis snid, he is a great favorit with the operi-going public. As he is at present much more anxious than wealthy, the concert will be beld for the purpose of raising funds to assist him in reaching the wished-for destination.’ NEW MUSIC. inurd’s Suns~"* My Own Deur music and words, by Katie March,” by R.

John Kelly’s lecture tor the benefit of st. Joseph's Orphan Asylum. Mr. Carpenter had been of service to the institution ecveral times during his life, and it was deemed only due to him to make some acknowledgment on 2n oc- casion so 6uguestive. -Accordingly, Mr. IL.

The second and Inst week will be commenced to-morrow night, the distinguished French artist reappear- ing in “Camille.” On Tuesday evening Dumas’ “D'Etrangére” wil! be presented, and this will be the event of the week. “L'Etrangére” was, we bellere, originally produced nt the Comédie Frangaise in 18%, and it has held a prominent place in the répertoire of that house sinco that tlme. The piece has never been represented in this couutry c¢ither in the French or the English language. The characters aro French with tho exception of two, Mr. and Mrs. Clarkson, who are Americans. Its plot deals with a certain Catherine Mauriccau, daughter of a wealthy shopkeeper, who has married the Duke de Septmonts, The Duke is a debauched and ruined nobleman, nnd bis marriage has been brought about by Are, Clarkson, an eccentric American personage, whose doings have ustun- ished the principal cities of Europe. De Sept- monts becomes enamored of Mrs. Clarkson, and neglects and ili-uses his wife. Mrs. Clarksuit dis- covers that the Duchess is iu love with one Gerard, 2. friend of ber chilhood, from whom she hau been separated by her father. ‘To uscertain whether Gerard visits the Duchess, Mrs. Clarkson compels the Duke to introduce ber to his wife, and, later on, excites his suspicions against.

Mallorys, proprie- tors of the house, are in the courts. Mr. Muc- kaye’s brains and the Rey. Matlorys’ money gave tho house within a year a National reputa- tion. Now that the popularity of the house has been assured, tho Mallorys, aecording to Mr. Mackaye, want to turn him out and manage tho theutre themselves. Mr. Mackaye, before the theatre was built, signed a contract with the Mallorys. In cffect this was that Mr. Muckaye's entire services us author. actor, manager, or di- rector, the “entire product of his Intelicctual and physical Inbor and skill,” with the copy- rights of his plays and any patents that be ob- tained, should be devoted to of Murshall H. Mallory for tea years from July 1, 187%, with privileze of renewel in conslucration of (a yeurly ary of $5,000. Whenever tho sui of the prot its umounted to twice the nuount, with inter- est, expended by Mr. Mallory, Mr. to receive a quurter part of the nct p addidon. Acting under the contract, Mr. 3: kaye states in his coroplaint that he transferred to Nr. dlullory the copyright of * Hazet Kirke ” and the jetters pateat.of the double stage. In May, Mr. Mackuye's Salary was raised to $150 weekly, but there was diiliculty about obtaining an accounung of receipts from performunces in und out of thocity. Mr. Mackaye states in his complaint tbat the accounting offered Dec. 1 he believes to be fictitious; that since that time be has received onty $100 weekly, that the innnage- ment hasbeen arbitrarily tken out of hfs hands; that prices have been changed at the bux-ollice, aud the Rey. Georre H. Mavlory has been brought inte the business to his detri:nent, He thercrore asks thut the contract be rescinded and his property restored. Mr. Steele Muckaye undosomed himself toa Tribune reporter the other du: Speaking of his contract he said: 1 ask one to read thiac contmet carefully, bear in mina all the cireum- stances, and then say whether this fas not been adetiberate plan on’ the part of cold-blooded schemers to defraud myself, my wife, and iny children of the work of my own brains, and then drive me out regardless of what mixht become of me. Lacknowledze that 1 was 8 fool to have signed such a contract, but 1 was laboring under adelusion, £bad met these men ina pleasant way.

I bad made wyself personally familiur with every detail, mechanical and otherwise, pertaining to the stage. It bad been the study of my life, The Mallorys put the whole thing ona footing of mut- ual conuidence. They snid they reposed u trust in me as they did not wish to be nown, and L told no one of the contract. They explained that everything would be sutisfactury, und that the formalities of the contract were mere mat- ters of form to secure themselves, as they did not know me well. “TI did everything ina man's power for the thouire. I discharged the duties of advertising ayent and even cull-boy duties that no other manager would stoop to, in ny zenl for success. And a splendid success-was attained both in the thoutre bere and by the traveling companies. ‘Thousands and thousends of dollars were made for the Mallorys, and the enterprise was firmly established. But no profit and little credit were given tome. ‘Then I found tho Mallorys com- ing to the front aud usurping the management justend of wishing to remain unknown, as they had professed. I was forced to endure daily in- dignities, even to having my name struck off the aavertisemeuts,—the most fugrant insult that could be offered a manager. They changed prices at the box-olfice, defrauding the public, and constantly interfered, putting me inn falst position. Jiy people atthe theatre are adie: and gentlemen, and I mean them to be treated assuch. They are attuched to me, but the Mal- lorys have endeavored to make thein believe that they were the musters of the company. All contracts have been in my uume, und i ‘have been heid personully responsibie even for what the Mallorys have done. ‘This per: ion Rt the theatre was planned with a view to force me tw break the contract, drive me out, und allow them to seize ult the results of my worl.

Eurly in November Mr. Will Davis, Associate Manager of the Grand Opera-House, visited. New York for the purpose of securing this attraction, and since that time negotiations have been pending, “Mr. Cazauran, eume hore a few weeks ago, exam- ined the house, reported favorably to Mr. Palmer, and last night 2 telegram was re- ceived from that gentleman stating that he ac- cepted the proposition of the Grand Opera- House management. . The contract, we believo, stipulates that Mr, Palmer will tranfer every thing-pertaining to bis theatre to this city,so that for those twelve weeks we will have the Union Square Thoatre’ complete here with the advantage of a& fur better build- ing than that in which the representations are given in New York.

At the closing scene the enthusiasm of the audience was so extreme that some even stood upand waved their hats and burrabed.”” “The dramatic profession,” sagely observes the New York Times, “ scems to be the only one in which novices expect to succeed immediately without training or experience, often without talent.” “And [beg tu add." says a writer mm the Feuileton, “that ic ig the ouly profession whose novices de succeed without training or experience, und often without talent. I have seen in my thne great many ignorant, un- trained men and women tumble from the wings into succesa, who never dreamed of training or cultivating themselves until the possession of wealth and its possibilities made It necessary for them to polish and study, and muke a show of thut kuowledge which they ought to have possessed. It ig worth noting ut the same thine that both the public and the profession contrib- uted to this success, and it may be remarked iu part explanation that both tho public and the profession have a snexking notion that the best Actors are not made. but are Lorn.” In the course of the hearing of the motion in the suit of Genevieve Ward against Lester Wallack and Theodore Soss for a preliminary: injunction restraining the defendants from contioutng to produce the play. * Forget-Me- Not,” which took place in New York lust Tues- day, Mr. J. H, Bird for the plaintitt said the play ee was being murdered now at Wallack's; that Miss Rose Cegtlun’s conception of Stephanie, the leading character, was injurious, altogether ditferent from Miss Ward's, and of such a char- acter ns to prevent the better class of plu: yovrs from going to see the play. Therefore, the pinintitf bemg entitled tos prelimianry in- junction, the long adjournment asked for should not be granted, -Judze Dittenboefer replied that, without detracting one iota from the merits of Miss Ward, and conceding fully her wbility, be was in duty bound, in answer to the irrelevant statement of the counsel, to say that persons who bad seca both Miss Ward and Miss Cogblun in the play pronounced tho latter's in- terpretation of the part of Stephanie infinitly auperior to that of tho plaintiff. The Feuilleton asks: “How does the Rev. George Mallory, who is making money out of a theatre, reconcile his conduct with the church that denounces the theatre? Isn't ita rather anomalous position for « prencher of the Gospel to run # church and a theatre at the same time? If the theatre is so inberently bad as has recent- ly been asserted in the pulpit, why is it that the pulpit has nothing to say of that member of its own cloth who isu manger? ‘Lhe only possible excuse that Lcan find for the meddling of this shepherd with the tinseled and lucrative things of the plauy-house js that ne desired to elevate the stuze, Can it be possible thut Mr. Matlory thinks he bad done it by makiny the stage into an elevator? The man who supplied all the brain3 for Mr. Mallory’s speculation designed the house, invented the stage, planned the yen- Ulution, drew the decorations, sketched the scenery, wrote the play, and rehearsed the act- ors, is now sulng Mr. Matlory in the Court of Cotnimon Pleas with the hope of getting some- thing for his year's work. Reully, it doesn't look as if the clergymen could reform the stage with half as much success as they can dumn it.” There has been, says the Feuilicton, n question ralsed lately us to tho power of acting to de- velop literary ability, Ing that all actors be- come“ literary persons” on apinen, Thure can be no doubt whatever that there is something about the thentre which develops the literary faculty, not only in actors, but in agents, ushers, and Dili-posters, Here, for mstance, Is Mr. Morrissey, the business-man of Miss Emma Abbott's troupe. He was never known as a brilliant rhupsodist or slinger of sweet sen- tences when be got up Cuban beveiits and ran concerts in Father Flattery’s church. Rut now be can mark bis course over the continent by the flowers of speech be hus scattered in the nowspapers. The- following is cut from tho Kansas City Times: mma Abbott is coming this way—pretty, co; lovable, vivacious, be- witching, kissable little Emma Abbott. She is coming with her bird-iike voice, ber sunny face, her fair hair. ber sweet smile, her snapely ankle, her dancing blue eyes, her churming litte coquetries, and ob! better und sweeter than all, her kiss! -Vuinly have pouts attempted to weav into fimortal verse tho wondrous beauties of that kiss! Itisa being—a creation of itself. It Is an episode—an episode in x lifetime to which hallowed memories cling as do the vines, tenderly and lovingly, tothe stalwart oak. [t calls for a response In every masculine heart, and he la not mun who, when he bears that soft ularm, does not thauk God he is a mun, that such Sweet music cun bestir within him the rhupsody he feels.”” CHRISTIANCY. ‘The Ex-Senator’s Auswer to His Wife's Cross-Bili. ‘The answer of ex-Senator Christiancy to tho eross-bill for divorce entered by his wife was iiled ina Washington court on tho 13th inst.

That Ladmit the present residence of my wife, the complainant, in sald District of Colum- bin, and thutLat present hold the office of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pienipoten- tinry of the United States to Peru, and my pres- ence in Lima, Peru, as stated in point No. lof her said bill In answer to the second point in her bill, I ad- mit the marriige between myself and the said complainant, as stuted iu her said bill, but I solemuly assert that said marriage TOOK PLACE AT HER OWN INSTANCE, and that I was ted into it by her skillfully turo- ing what was intended as a mere compliment to ber into a proposition tor marriage; which, ut the first moment [suspected she intended to construe into sich 2 proposition, £ promptly apologized for, when she promptly declared ber wish that Lshould marry ber, to which I did not assent untilafter Lhud honestly and earnestly, on several different occasions, endeavored to convince her of the untitness of such warriage, onuccount of the difference in our respective ayes, but that I finally yielded to her solicitations upon the repented assurance that she loved me better than any other mun, Which assurknces she yoluntecred to declure to me were false the first moment we were done tozether in our room at Philadel- phia, the first night after the wedding, aud be- fore she bad taken off her hat, avowing ber love for another man, to whoin suo sid sbe bad been engaged, and declaring that on the morning of the wedding-day sbe bad fainted at the mention of his name, and that she had perjured herself in ber marriage-vow, demanding an immediate divorce; and upon yy telting her there was no ground for a divorce, and that none could be had, she seemed like » maniac, In answer to the third point in ber so-called bill, L deny that she hes ut all thnes since her toutringe been to me x faithful and obedient wife, or that she hus at all times performed to- ward me the duties devolving upon her as such, protesting und averripg, as | bere protest and aver, that within u month after suid marriage she commenced and entered into vurlous sean- dulous and fimproper intrigues with other men, and kept up secret and improper correspond- ence with them, especially with one Frank . Anderson, which she kept up down to about the time sbe left Peru, November, 1879, for Washington; and that she bad been guilty dur- ing suid marriage of undue and scandalous fauiliarities, AND, AS I BELIEVE, ADULTERY, not only in Washington and New York, but in Lima, Peru, and in the steamers suiling to and from Callzo and Panama, and others yoing from ‘Aspinwall to New York, with several ditferent men; thatshe has on many occasions, during sald marriage, and witbout the slightest provocu- tiou, said to me that she wished I would dic, and that I wis the only obstacle to her happi- ness,—often screaming aloud, and saying it was her intention to ease the impression that £ was abusing her, and that she Intended to make cause for divorce, though none existed in fuct; that she refused to return with me to my house in Lunsing, Mich., when she left there with me in November, 1878, for Washmgton, and has persisted in that’ refusal ever since, by which I was_compelled to abandon my home residence in Lansing; that she has, upon two occasions—one in Wasbington and oue at Lan~ sing in 16ss—willfully produced upon herself inisearrinzea and abortions; and, finally, that she hue fa inthe performance of the duties of uwifo to me by committing the crime of adultery, as charged in my petition or bill Med against her in this court. = In answer to point or allegation No.4 of her so-culled cross-bill, I admit that I have filed a ‘pill or petition for divorce, as stated, and [aver that I helieve Rene toe. charges Stated in my suld Dill or petition to be true. Ns tg point or allegation No. 5, {n saldso-catled cross-bill, I answer and say that I am informed and believe that complainant in said cross-bill has filed such answer as stated in said point or Hegution No. 5 ‘ "AS to point No. 6in ber so-called cross-bill, I answer and say Isolemoly and positively deny every word and every idea expressed in suid polut; NOR HAVE I EVER DONE ANY CRUELTY TO MER WITATEVE As to point 7, or allegation, in so-called cross- Dill, I solemnly deny every thought and idea ex- pressed in said point or allegution, and deny that { ever on any occasion touched ber in anger or with my clenched fist, nor struck or assailed her in any manner, or threw ber down there or in any other-place: nor did { ever heur from her or any one else any such charge till i read it in this allegution, J adinit that on one ocrasion, at Lansiug, she screamed and jumped from the bed when [refused to consent sorher yo ine. to ‘Alabama to see suid Anderson, when fat once lett her room, and do not know what occurred in said room thereafter on thet occasion. In answer to point or allegation No. 8, in her said So-culled cross-bill, L deny every allegation, every idex, every thought expressed therein, aud say that { never wrote a letter to any person at Healing Springs except to herself, nor did I cause or procure any letter to be written them exceptto inquire whut visitors were at siid springs, to which I got a reply; nor did Lattempt in uoy manner to get up any correspondence against her with regurd to any male boarder, or any other persoa there; and, though I got an answer showing that said Anderson was there, L uever made use of it in any man: to ber in- jury, nor even _thourht of dutng so; and after her return to Washington and our reconcilia- tion aud her return with me to Lansing, I de- stroyed the letter, that nothing might appear to her disndyantage. But Iwill here further say that, without any elfort of nine, I bave, since the filing of my bill or petition ugainst her, un- expectedly received information 1 believe to be true, that while she was at said Healing Springs she Was GUILTY OF CRIMINAL INTERCOURSE with at lenst one man, if not more, which I do not set forth or detail bere because lam advised by my ponies saut pee pach conduct can- not properly be tried in this su Gnianawert to point 9, I solemnly deny every word therein contained, and declare and uver no such occurrence or conversation ag therein stated took place, and that { never heard of soning of the kind until I read it in this ninth never struck her with my clenched hand or fist at No.'411 Fourth street, in the City f Washington, or elsewhere, nor’ did I then or there, or elsewhere, say toher that I would bribe witnesses to ruin her character, etc. On the other band, she otten said to me that she weuid continue to mal plausible case for a divorce, und ut any time would zat asaist- ance to carry through a bill for thac purpose, and all the money she necded for such purposes, and saying that i man doing business in Baltiz more (whose uame I forbear to mention) would furnish her with the umount of money for that bury 3 that there was nothing he would not do for her, and, though he was matried, he wis inlove with her before she murried ‘me: and that his wife, whom she called Clara (but whom I never knew), was jealous of her before our marriage; and that he had been in the habit of calling upon her in Washington, after her mar- riage witn me, as often as once ‘a month; and 1 will add bere, upon information and belief, that after she returned to Washington trom Peru his calls upon her have been much more trequent, AS OFTEN AS ONCE A WEEK. And I will further say that, while my said wife was with me in Peru, she told me this man had advised her not to come to Peru to join her hus- band, but to remain in Washington. ‘fo all matters contained in allegation 10 T answer that | deny all and everything therein contained except the fact that while she wasin Peru she did leave my house and go to a hotel; that I the next day invited her to return, snd thut she did on that last-named day return; but Lexpressly deny that such action on her part was from any such cruse as she alleges. Ltur- ther deny that [ at any time, while under the in- fluence of lquor, assaulted her, or threatened her, or spoke to ber of a revolver, or bad any design to use the same against her, or that she ever had any fenr of her life from such c:use. On the contrary, 1 answer that after she had returned from tho hotel she continued to live and cohabit with me until about the time she left me, in November, 1879, to go to Wush- ington. In unswer to point 11, I absolutely deny that at the American Legation in Lima, at the time she alleges, or at any other time, [assaulted her in ber bed-room with disgusting or even unple: ant language. 1 deny that she feared any vio- lence, us she alleges. or that she ran out of the bed-room into the sittiug-rooin, or that [ struck her or choked her at all or used uny force toward her, as she alleges, or that I declared [ would choke ber to deuth, or mude any thi whatever, or that on such occasion as she pro- fessed to deseride she sereained, or that uny one came to her assistance or took me away, or that she left me, us she alleges,on uecount of any cruelty or fexr of bodily harm. 1 further say that all these allegations are so totally foreign from any resemblance to any actual facts, and ure so purely inventions, thut I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WITAT SHE MEANS} that just at the time sbe descripes [ was purtic- ularly careful to ayuld any unpleusunt words with her, That she left me at Lima, Nov. 6, 1879, Lndmit, but Laver that ulways without my consent. I did not at that tine know the facts which Lhave since learned in reference to her conduct. I admit 1 did not furnish ber tho money togo from Peru to Washington, and [ aver that she pever asked me for it; but she did inform ine u few days before she left Peru that George E. Haight bad furnished her $10 in gold for the purpose, and she showed the same To me, urging ine to keep it in the iron sufu for her, ‘which I declined to do; and she hud long before that time told me that Huight bad left bis gold with her when be went suuth to Arica, and she used a part of the fatcer in tel graphing to Arica to useertain whether he had been on the Muascar when it was taken by tho Chilian fleet. Buc Ldo not detail ber conduct with Haight or in Peru, nor on buard the steamer on the way from New York to becnuse the sume cannot be property tried in this suit. Tn answer to the eleventh point, I deny that I ever refused to support her whiie she remained with me as my wife, though | denied any obfigu- tion to support her after she left me against wy will, aud now DENY ANY OBLIGATION, LEGAL OR MORAL, to support her under existing circumstances, and say that [do not intend tu furnish her any support, except us 1 may be ordered by this Court. Cudimit that Iam at present in receipt of a salary from the Cnited Stutes as Envoy Ex- truordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United Stutes to Peru, out of which 1 cannot safely. rely upon, over and above the expenses of the mission, more than $f,000 per year. Laver that um in debt between $¢,000 and $9,000, upon mostof which L am paying S$ percent ipterest: that. to say nothing of the rest of my family, 1 nave a minor child, now Tr years uf age, to be supported. I have, us she alleges, some reat estate in Mieblgan; but it is ailheavily mortsazed, which, under ‘x forced sale, I do not believe would bring more than the ginuunt of the incumbrunces; that the largest portion of the land 1 owned at Luasing, Mich. was bought subject to mortgage, which, 2s Lam informed, has been foreciosed in chant y since Tleft there, and, though 1 bare nv positive in- formation, 1 believe it bas been lost to me. And T further say that my wife, knowing my circum- stances, and, having left ‘me against my will, wrote me trom Washington on or about the :ty of November, 1879, in_ reference to iny support ing her, and only asked for 315 per month, stuting in substance that she could and would get along with that amount, end vifering to live with meutiny place (us I understood her to mean) in the United States excepting Lansing, Mich. I therefore submit to this honorable Court that the sum of $159 per month allowed her by its order pending this suit is, under the circumstances, at least twite as much 43 ought to be allowed her, if any sum whntever should be ullowed; and 1 further insist that NO SUM WHATEVER OUGIIT TO BE ALLOWED To HER. In answer to the twelfth point, 1 utterly and positively deny, according to my best knowlease and belief, that she is sulfering almost constant bodily pala, ana that she is frequentiy under the care of a physician, in consequence of my will ful negtect or failure to provide her with ni sury und proper medical treatment during two | periods of premature birth. On the contrary, L Fotemuly declare that both the “premature births,” as she calls them, wero purposely brought on and produced by her own ccliberate and willfulacton, 1 beHeve and charge that on many Ocensions ske purposely seernted her sutferings, and falsely pretended that they were much greater thin they were tn fuct, sina, as instunces of this kind. Laver that while she was at Healing Spriugs, i the summor of 164, with said frank Y. Anderson, she frequently wrote to me complaining of her illness and safferiug3s from the cause mentioned, and of her mubility to take nny exercise, and yet after her return she often told me, und [ be- jieva her stutemenis, that while she bad been there she was the most during vider umong nll the ladies there, riding the wildest horses and over the roughest mountain rovds, and that she bad frequently climbed the mountutus on foot in the thick tinber with said Anderson alone, and that ste hud felt the better for the exer- cise, and that sbe had danced almost every evening while there. And aguin in Peru, in the summer of 1879, while she pretended to be sutfer- img severcly from the causes named, and re- fused to ride in curriuges with me in the streets of Lima, pretending that the joiting uf the cur~ ringe gave her severe pain, yet whenever she found wn opportunity to meet HER SPECIAL FRIEND, GEORGE E. IAIGHT, she would ride with bim formilesover the pave- ment of Lima, and even miles into the country, and often go to walk with nim for long distances about the city, and scem to be pertectly well on her return to tho Legation. Agiin, in the summer of 1879, while she wus pretending to Complain of ber suffering for the cnuse now under consideration, ste went up the Oroyn Roud eighty miles to Chicla, which is 1220 feet ubove the sea, in the midst of the Andes, riding over narrow mountain paths, and, accompanied by my son and George E. Huight, journeyed some fifteen or twenty miles over the summit of the Andes and back again to Chicla on the same day, and boasted when she returned to Lima that she had borne all the fatizue of the ride better than said Halght or my son,and appeared. to be in perfect henith on ber return to Lima. In answer to the thirteenth point in her so- called cross-bill, L say that I deny that Ihave made any FALSE OR GROUNDLESS CHANGES against her in my bill of complaint or any charge which, upon the vest information I can obtain, I do not beileve to be true. Having answered all the charges of ber said dill, 1 pray to be Gischarged, with my proper costs and charges. |. P. CHRISTLANCY. ———— THERE'S A DEAR LITTLE ISLAND.
