A BOLD VILLAIN He Marries Eleven, Perhaps More, Wives. [Correspondence of the Chicago Journal.] Freerort, Iil., Jan. 27.—Some months ago there appeared a man of polite and ‘: takin, manners in a town of Southwestern Wisconsin, where he represented himself to be a returned Californian, named Ferguson, and was boastful of his riches and of Lis adventures. He there atiated himself into the confidence of a fair ledy, who was foolish enough to believe ail he said, and consented to become his wife. They were wsrried. and he directly afterward left for parts unknown He was next heard of, under the name of Hoyt. in a town in Jo Davies county, II., where he became the ‘lion,’ won the hearts »f some half dozen young women, aud married e. He staid with bis pew young wife a few , got credit among merchants and others, turned up one day missing. He next tarns up, under another name, in the town of Nora, in the same county, buying a farm for $Y,000, but sues off without paying for it or his hotel bill. ext we hear vf him in West Point, in this (Stephenson) county, trying to buy up the debts of 8 man who is in California, but whose wife resides in that place; makes a great flour- ish, evidently with the design of ingratiating huuself into the good graces of the Californian's “grass widow."’ in which fortunately he fails. Ha then goes toone Mrs. Vale.whose husband is in California, pretend: to bea particular end of Mr. Vale—ssys that he owns a line of steamers ruuning between San Francisco and New © leans: that he has recently returned »m California, where he had been since 1842. nally proposes marriage to Mre. Vale; she objects: he persundes her that inasmuch as her husband is abseut in Celifornia, “it’s all per- fectly right aud proper,” they are married; in a day or two le bires a cutter of a livery man, for one, two. ur perhaps as many as eix days; ” livery man lets him bave it; livery man after- wards suspects something, and sends constable after him; finds him at Waldam’s Grove—re- urns with him —--all right;’’ then accused the livery man of stealing bis pocket book cuntain- iD gold slugs.’ currency and notes, gets greatly excited, and threatens rash proceed- ‘ngs. Livery man is not to be scared and Wil- -on Waddam (the name he bad there assumed) was taken suddenly ill with the Panama fever; rad bad dreams—saw a coffin and a grave. 7t was nothing but a ruse to get a good uppor- tunity to absquatulute. Fortunately about that time, on the strength “an advertisement describing a scoundrelly confidence mun’ who had married two women in the ad ounty of Boone, he was ar- rested—the of Boone was sent for. The confide: aforesaid was advertised as having t s J. E.T.” and various fig- of pistols and bowie knives, ete., printed i The arms of this nian being ex- found to have said inscriptions the letters ‘'J. E.T.”’ standing for Travis, the recreant son of a respect- Roscoe, Winnebago county. He * when the arrest was made— p —wouldn't speak—wouldn't do anything. he was ‘so weak’? and ‘so miser- able.’ The Boone county Sheriff summoned a physician, sho pronounced bi Travis. alias Ferguson, alias Moyt, alias dan. und some half a dozen other alias: haudeuffcd and taken to Belvidere, Boone couaty, where he is now locked up. This Travis is as great a scoundrel us lives unbung It haz been reliably ascerisined that he has, within the last few months. married and swin- dled po less than eleven different women, con- fiding young ladies and foolish widows. He was come years ago sent to the [ilinois State prison from Winnebago county for the crime of larceny, and having served out his time, probably went to California, and after prac- tieing all the villainy he could there and else- where, returned to Northern Illinois, where he bas again reached ‘the end of his rope.”” +see- Apotr Su. —An English clergyman named Robert Maguire. was a short time since acquit- ted on a charge of having, in 4 railway ear, in- truded one of bis legs too far within the fulds ofa lady scrinoline. The magistrate dismiss- ing the complaint, in delivering the opinion of court, tuok occasion to express his opinion upon ® matter which had not been brought before the court, namely, the merits of crinoline. He seid Before I proceed to the next business, I wish, however, to make a few observations uper the style of dress now worn by the faig, sex. Ihave often felt it my duty to express ia terns of the strongest disapproval, my opi jon on this fashion ealled crinoline. I had er- tertained the hope that the many accidents which have arisen from its use. coupled with the ridicule which a witty member of the press has thrown upon it, would have led to its dis- uance by those whe should set an exam- f a modest and suitable attire. Far from this being the case. it appears daily todncrease in absurdity. I huve come to the conclusion thet. since necidents have failed to exert any influence, since moreover it would seem that ridicule but guins its voiaries, from intellectu- al ladies to illiterate scullery maids, it is nec- y tu t:ke some other means for its imme- te suppression. It iz te be tolerated no da: 2 fonger. that, through its vile and indecent egency. the character of honest men are to be >rought into question, and the name of woman to be held up to youth as the mindless follower of iminodesty and shamelessness. I shall now ect the officers of the court to bring before me those who are guilty of fullowing this loath- tome fashion; and if through this agency the Practice cannot be put a stop to, the power of public opinion is indeed «mall. I trust the peess will furnish space fur these remarks, and will also assist my endeavor: giving the ut- must publicity to the eases. if any, that are brought before ne.” i a fg" The earthquake which was felt in Gua- temaia on the evening of the 8th ult., did mach damage in Salvador. At Dolores Tzaloo, the peri-b chur-l was totally destroyed—the two towers sud bells falling. and the walls being broken on sli sides It is mentioned as re markable that the chapel in whieh stood the images of “Jos Virgenes de Conception y Do- eres” slone remained intact. Thirty-two bouses fell to the grnund, and all were injured During the night several other shocks did sor dauage. At Tepecoa the church, city hallind several houses were destroyed. In almost ui: the towns which felt the shuck, the churches and rudildors or town halls. (these always be- ing the largest and most solid building.) were either destroyed or greatly damsged. In Nan- huistcola, #fter the earthquake had destroyed reveral honses, a fire broke ont which destroyed two hundred houses, or nearly the whole town. @n the night of the 10th, at ¥! o'clock, there were two more heavy shocks The nights were clear on both occasions, the wind being heavy from the north until just before the shocks, when it fell calm. but again rose after the shock:. No lives sre Teported to have been Jost, although undoubtedly there were some killed and wounded.

Courier d. ber: a ng lady The Intern: Prize Fight. We give the ‘‘Fancy”’ intelligence of Heenan from the London Daily Telegraph of Jan. 17. The “Boy’’ reached London at night (nine o’clock,) on the 16th, ‘standing,’ as our co- temporary says, “Six feet one inch and a half in his stock- ings, wearing a black mustache, and looking altogether rather like a distinguished foreigner than a member of the prize ring. He was ac- companied by a friend of the name of Cusack, and was welcomed at the port by Macdonald. Being of a generally playful nature, the ‘Boy’ slipped on shore with the mails, and was bent on having a little game for his own personal amusement, when he was overtaken by his friends, who are particularly anxious for his safet and who assiduously kept company with him during the few hours of his sojourn atthe port. A large concourse of ‘roughs’ sur- rounded Heenan at the Lime street station, and succeeded in getting off to the platform, whence they cheered violently as the train de- parted. At Crewe, Stafford, aud Rugby, a good deal of curiosity was manifested to obtain a sight of the Boy,’ who was evidently averse to being perpetually stared at, and, therefore, kept himself snugly ensconced in the corner of a first-class carringe. On arriving in town, Heenxzn’s friends got him speedily into a cab, their destination Coie: according to reports, the Tavistock Hotel. Covent Garden. On the voyage over in the Asia, a training-ground was rigged up for the young aspirant in the fore- eastic, and throughout the trip he kept his muscles in condition by continually hauling at heavy weights attached to pulleys. He is de- seribed as good tempered and tolerably well informed, and has learned a trifle of Spanish during a tour in California. If he beats Tom Sayers, he has only one more professional ob- ject in life, and that is to vanquish Morrissey, who is coming over with a horde of Yankees the next time the Asia returns to England, and who avows his intention of fighting Heenan should he gain possession of the belt. Those who are acquainted with the ‘Boy’ say that his agility is something extraordinary, and Aaron Jones (who is now keeping a flourishing bar, gymnasium, and billiard-room in Philadelphia) declares that the punishment he gave Morris- sey, during the first three rounds of their con- test. was something frightful. The youth looks remarkably powerful about the shoulders, but seems scarcely as firm and well developed as might be expected, below the waist; he has a prominent, well-shaped nose, which may be considered an advantage in a non-professional sense, but is likely to Be deewed a superfluous ornament should it come into unpleasant con- tiguity with what would be technically de- scribed as Mr. Sayers’s ‘bunches of fives.’”* The editor of the Mobile Herald jas esti- mated Heenan’s Jungs, and reports “In our examination of Heenan, while in Mobile, we saw that he lacked chest, or. in other words, wind; and generally be looked anything but hardy, although big’ And it was this defect of lungs which secured his defeat in the fight with Morrissey. who is a bull- headed feilow, with lungs as large as forge bel- lows. He can stand and be beaten all day. Heenan has to do bis work in ‘rounds’ of » few minutes. After that he becomes weak. Sayers, the English champion, is a little fellow, but has pluck and plenty of ‘wind ;’ and rdded to these two qualities of endurance. he has great ‘science,’ and soon knows the mn that he has to ‘play’ with The probabilities are. there- fore, that Heenan will not get the English sbelt.’ Sayers will take bains tu wear him out and flog him at his leisure.“* —_—__ __-s+0e- A Dilemma. One of the most amusing crinoline accidents we have heard of since the female form first begun to be surrounded and guarded by hoops of whalebone, steel and brass, occurred one day last summer ata country seat about twenty miles from Bostun. The son of the proprietor of the estate isa young man engaged in the laudable business of getting an education. and, during his summer vacation last year, he con- structed in a large treenear the windows of the aternal mansion a commodious sumwer house. This airy retreat was two stories high; thatis to say, above the lower platform was une still more elevated, and access was hud to the upper- most one through asmail trap-door. Upon the settees of this summer house the young gen- tleman reclined in hot weather puffing his cigar and reading his favorite book One day aaa ts was in his chamber, he dis- covered several young ladies—his sisters and some of their female acquaintances—ascending to the lofty summer house. They occupied the lower story for a time, but their aspirations soon prompted them to mount up higher. By 8 good deal of compression and coaxing, their hoops were got through the trap-door, and in their elevated position they enjoyed the beauty of the afternoon while hemstitehing and con- versing gaily upon such topics as usually claim the attention of the fair sex. The young gentleman in the meantime en- jpred his book and his cigar in his chamber. But when the --tea time’’ approached he heard some commotion in the branching old tree near his window, and on peeping through the blinds he perceived that the young ladies had placed themselves ina dilemma from which a young man could hardly attempt to rescue them with- out suffering a shock to his modesty. He had no alternative but to await the result with as much philosophy as he could command. The young ladies found the rule that generally gov- erns ambitious people reversed in their case. They had attained an elevation from which it was difficult to descend. It was comparatively easy to draw their skirts up through the trap door, but no amount of coaxing could get them down without an exposure of their bifurcate extremities that would be perfectly awful. Some time was spent in debate by the “com- mittee of ways and means,”’ and the obyervant young gentleman at length witnessed a seene which ‘took the breath out of his body.”’ The girls divested themselves, by some mysterious Process of their circumferential skirts and then threw them down to the ground. Then the: erawled down through the trap door. wit comparatively little exposure, and descended to mother earth. We are sorry to record, however, that the gentleman, as soon as he had sufficiently recov- ered his presence of mind, rushed out and seized the skirts, thus compelling his fair friends to enter the house in a most ignomin- iously collapsed condition, so far as their cus- tomary apparel was concerned. The young ladies declared that they would not be caught Up & tree again duri hei i a 5: Aaa Hoon ng their natural lives. A Mawyorn Leeisuative E cURSION.—The Boston (Mass.)
