The famous breach of promise case for $100,- 000 bas been working along with slow monoto- ny. St. Louis keeps her interest in it well up, and the seventh day found the court-room densely crowded. The fair plaintift was pres- ent, attired in deep black and veiled; the de- fendant was also on the spot, preserving, one of the papers say, ‘‘a wonderful placidity of countenance.’’ One of the witnesses, a domes- tic named Rebecca Lohman, grew stubborn, nd refused to testify until threatened with jail. The case for the defendant was opened by Mr. Shepley. He held that the suit was yrompted wholly and only by avarice: ‘“ Mr. Shaw is an old man; it is idle for these parties to talk of affliction trampled down, itis absurd on its face; the affirmance of affection is a de- nial of it, and hence only one thing is left, a desire to get so much money out of him.”? In briefly reciting the facts, Mr. Shepley gave Mr. Shaw sage at 65 years, and Mr. S. bowed blush- ingly 10 signifya mistake. He was 64, and the correction was promptly made. In refer- ence to the acquaintanceship, the counsel said: ~We claim the plaintiff and defendant be- came acquainted in a different way—that the plaintiff sought defendant in his own house, asking assistance, pleading an inexorable land- lord and proffering security for assistance, knowing him to be a man of wealth. We gay that the first visit was a design to entrap de- fendant—that the defendant was sought fer that purpose, carried on for that purpose, de- signed ss an intrigue and to lay the basis for *notber kind of suit, for a suit for seduction is ‘aore valuabie than a suit for breach of prom- ise. Wecharge that the whole purpose was to inveigle hii and to make him pay roundly or res! the scandal of a suit like this. No woman was better able to do this than plain- t ff. because she had experience init. All the jacts shown are parts of that same design, in- tended to form part of the common object; to end in @ commen way. It is a strong charge— we helieve it will be proved, though these af- fairs are notcommon. They are or have been common elsewhere, common from whence the plaintiff came.’ The financial relations of the parties—bills payable and receivable that they exchanged —were next taken up, and thus treated- *Recollect, according tothe testimony, there ‘was no want of money at any time; recollect that the alleged promise was made in 1836 and, according to the plai: in 1856, they had talked of it openly and above board. and made their plans; and yet this woman of muidenly mode:ty, this chaste woman, and engeged woman, goes to a bachelor and gets a loan of money of him, and gives her note forit. Notonly she gets the money, but of the person whom she was engaged to. who ad- vised her to give up all the property to the ster. This person who loved her, when she asked for $100, says, “Give me your note.”’ ‘This man, who was to make her happy all her life, asks her to givehimanote. Di you ever of such a cxse—of an aggrieved woman ng asked by the man of her heart to give him anote”? Wouldn’t any woman, whether in want ef money or not. spurn such a man ? Wouldn't she say, «* What, when you are en- xaged to marry me; when you have agreed to love, honor and protect me, and I come to you t» ask a beggarly one hundred dollars, you ask me to write a note?’ Wouldn't any woman have said so whose heart was pure? As to the floral presents bestowed upon Eu- phemia by Henry, counsel urged that they were sought by the young lady. He then en- tered npon the question of plaintiff's moral char- acter, whither we shall not follow him. Suffice it to say that Mr. Shepley spared no pains to show its blackness, and his whole argument was directed with a very Western freedom. - <wee- New York Personal Gossip—Social Life of on rs and Authors—Progress of Spirit- ualism The New York correspondent of the Chicago Press writes : ~Receptions” are the present order of the day, or rather night, among our literary folks. Dana, of the Tribune, gives one every other Satarday evening, at which lots of the Histori- eal Society and Astor Library people get to- gether. Bayard Taylor and Richard Henry Stoddard, who live in one house of winters, zive weekly receptions on Saturday evenings, bh are informal, not at all blue, but really charming affairs. In the summer, hereafter, Bayard Taylor will stay with his family at the beautiful country seat he has prepared in the Pennsylvania village of his birth, where his parents still reside. To complete the pay- ments on this home-for-life. he has been Iabor- ing this winter to an extent which would break down any other man—having lectured 142 times in less than six months! It is Taylor's Poccasel, more than anything else, that he as gained him such hosts of friends. He is a genial, handsome, good-hearted man. and car- ries sunshine with him wherever he goes. His light-haired. blue-eyed German wife is not handsome, but has a sweet smile, and is so good, as the ladies say, that every one loves her But I am speaking of receptions. Perhaps the most noticeable affair of the kind this weeks has been that given in honor of Mr. Robert Dale Owen, at ihe residence of a Mr. Laing— ope of our wealthy merchants? R D.0O all know, is the son of the renowned socia philosopher, the late Robert Owen, and has Just returned from Naples, where he was sent as Charge d’Affaires, in the time of President Pierce. He has distinguished himself by the book, *:Fooifalls on the Boundary of Another World,” lately published, in which he explains his conversion to Spirttualiam, and narrates more wonderful ghost stories and inexplicable phenomena than were compiled in even the eredulous Mrs. Crowe’s “Night Side of Na- ture.’ Mr. Owen is co) juently, just now, the prominent blue-light among the spiritual pyrotechnists, and all the faithful flocked to see him. Prominent at the reception were And. J. Dav P. Britain, Mrs. although thic set, and not above the medium height; looks, in short, like a plain Scotch farmer. It is ex- pected that he will prove a powerful addition to the ranks of American spiritualists—now somewhat weakened by the desertion of their poet.Rev. Mr. Harris, and others “ea noted. We have got a ‘‘medium” here y the name of Foster. on whose arm, in raised red letters, appears the name of any deceased friend the dollar-payers would summon from the vasty deep. A short time this same man was caught ringing a bell with his toes and lifting the table with his own material knees. _— swee- _A“Scexe”’ at rae Harvarn Law Scnoot Yesterday morning, while Prof. Joel Parker was addressing the students of the Cambridge Law School upon constitutional law, he ad- verted, for the joes of illustration, to the mission of Mr. Hoar to South Carolina. Here- upon the Southern students present felt im- pelled to indulge in Rigg aye This being rigbtly construed by the Northern boys asan expression of approval of the conduct of the South Carolinians toward Mr. Hoar, they re- sponded with hisses. Prof. Parker exhi ited much feeling at these unusual demonstrations, and in expressing his Tegret at the occurrence, took oceasion to remark that, for twelve years may a similar experience nad not befallen ‘im as a lecturer. After what had taken Place, however, he would ag he this opportunity to say that. although t mpl saris regulations of South Car- colina might afford some extenuation for the behavior toward Mr. Hoar, yet the conduct of her citizens on that oceasion, more than any other single act, had operated to create the existing unpleasant differences Betwoen the North and South, Prof. Parker also took oc- casion to assure the students that he should not be deterred by any expressions of disa Proval on their part from stlewia himself all necessary latitude of remark in the discussion of the important juestions which it would be his duty, as a law to * Some days since a very rustic and inartistic couple, residents of Kentucky, near the Ten- nessee line, concluded m: Triage to be their destiny, and with this idea came to the Western Athens, desirous of sacrificing themselves to Hymen at the earliest opportunity. n due time the pair arrived in Cincinnati,and prea ts the Spencer House, informed clerk Andrew lum that they were extremely intent on perpetrating matrimony, and that nothing could thwart their purpose. Mr. Blum, so far from wishing to prevent their amiable immola- tion. made ore effort to facilitate their de- sign, and so well did he succeed, that in less than an hour “James” and “Jemime’’ were wedded as firmly aa lay in the capacity of a clergyman to bind them. The clerk, after the ceremony had been per- formed, believing that all new-married people ought to be as well accommodated as ‘ible, ave them a parlor and bed-room on the third r, and bade them “good evening”’ about ten o'clock, not neglecting to wish them every pos- sible bliss. The twain meekly followed the servant to the rooms, and were left alone there for the night; the clerk thinking no more of them until about two o'clock, when, sitting dosing in an easy chalr behind the counter in the office, he was aroused by a voice saying: “Look here, Mr. Clerk, oh, Mr. Clerk, I'd like to speak to you jist a minnit, do now.” Mr. Blum opened his eyes, and beheld his rustic friend, hatless and coatless, witha flushed face and disheveled hair, and such generally disarranged attire as indicated that he had been undergoing some very vivlent exercise. “Well, sir, of what benefit can I be to you?” “Why, why, I didn’t like to trouble you, and I don’t know how you fellers does things in this big town; but, but, but——”’ ‘But what? my good friend,” questioned the clerk, anxious to free the ruralist from confu- sion, each moment on the increase. “Why, why, you know we're marricd— Jemime and me.” “Oh, yes. and I wish you all manner of good fortune, my fine fellow.” “Wal, I ’spose you do; but confound if I can get the hang of cane in this darned place. Stay be I’m green; I guess I am sort o’ that way; but by jingoes, you do funny here.” “Explain, if you please, my man. What do you wish to say?’’ “Well, we don’t care, Jemime and me, for a little while; but to roll round on the floor all night is devilish hard, stranger, I'll swear itis.”’ * Roll round on the floor, what do you mean?”’ “Well, I ‘spose it isn’t what you call fashion in a big town; but by gumbo where we come from married people allers goes to bed.”’ ‘‘Havn’t you been in bed?” asked the clerk, in great surprige. «Why, how the devil could we go to bed when there weren't no bed to go to? That’s what we want the worst sort.’” “My good fellow, there’s a bed in your room. Did you not see it in the chamber in the rear of the parlor?’* “Did you give us mor'an one room, stranger? By jingoes, I didn’t know it. It’s all I want— all right, old feller, and so saying he ran up stairs, and before the clerk could ascend to the chamber the bucolicist was in bed, and replied to the knock on the door: ‘All right now; I've found it—Jemime and me’s satisfied. We don’t want you; all right, all right. God bless you, old feller. All right—fust-rate. God bless you; good night.” Mr. Blum went chuckling down to the office at the idea that the unfortunate ruralist had passed four hours in his parlor without even supposing there was a bed-chamber attached. Poor simpleton; no wonder he was embar- rassed and troubled—under the circumstances. — 2+ The Blind Negro Pianist. If we may credit the report of the southern apers, the blind slave boy, Tom, of whom we cave already given our readers some account, is one of the most remarkable instances of in- explicable genius that has ever been heard. All great men have moments of inSpiration that seem to be the effect of some visitation of a supernatural power rather than the result of mere human intellect, and this, though often evinced at an carly age, cannot be called pre- cocity. There have been poets who in early youth have poured forth strains that all their productions of maturer years could not excel. Among musicians and artists there are similar instances, which can only be attributed to some mysterious gift of deity that cannot be explained. Thenegro boy, ‘'om, though on a diferent seale of action, is another argument in behalf of this theory. Thougha blind slave boy, without musical culture, and without even ordinary intelligence on other subjects, he evinces an ability in musical execution that usually requires years of labor and undoubted musical genius to attain. A few nights ago, in New Orleans. the mana- ger or conductor of his entertainments request- ed any of the audience to play on the piano a piece of music not common or popular. A lady present played a Spanish piece ot wine length, and rendered more difficult by elaborate varia- tions. Asshe played the boy listened, leaning his elbows on the end of the piano, his hands clutched in the wool over his ears, his sightlecs eyes rolling upward, and his whole body writh- ing and twisting as ifin pain When the lady finished he played the piece’so as to astonish everybody. The lady detected a few faults, and, being requested, again played the selec- tion. Tom listened again, and afterwards played it without a mistake. A few days after he remembered it perfectly, and played it again when asked. Wijh Tom this is rather an exercise of mem- ory than of absolute musical talent, for his memory is as great though less intelligent in other things: a long sentence is said to him in any foreign language, he will at once repeat it just as it was spoken, but without really un- derstanding a word. So it may be with music. He probably does not understand it, though in this case the facility with which hecan find the right notes on the piano is as marvelous as the manors which can retain the piece after one or two hearings. Mozart had this memory when he heard and then reprodueed on paper the music of the Miserere at Rome; onl. » his was an intelligent memory, cultivated in the artof music, while Blind Tom’s memory isa gift, of which the lad cannot appreciate the ex- tent. How Jvpce H— Hetpep ro Uxioap THE Steampoat.—A friend of ours, who was an eye witness to the fact, related to us an amusing circumstance which occurred while Judge H— presided on the bench in this district. Ona peculiar occasion after his appointment business called him to Liberty, and while there, meeting with many of his old associates at the bar, got into a convivial mood, which lasted several days, and on going out he looked rather worse for wear. In crossing the river at Owen’s landing, there was a boat discharg- ing freight, and in a great haste for fear an- siher boat would pass that then just hove in sight. e clerk called out: “I say, old man, can’t you lend the men a hand in taking off that lot of furniture? I will pay you well for doing so and ‘double filly’ in the bargain.’’ ‘Oh, yes, says the Judge, ‘‘always ready to help in time of need.”” “Then turn in and be quick,’’ said the clerk. The first thing was a marble top bureau. In going off the plank, the Judge slipped, and the c'erk roared out, “There now, throw that into the river, will you?”’ “Certainly,” said the Judge, and an ee kick with the order, overboard it went. ‘-Hellow! what's that for?’ said the clerk. ‘I always obey orders when I work for a man,’’ said the Judge “Leave,’’ said the mate, “‘Agreed,’’ said the Judge. “Who is that man?” said theclerk. A by- stander remarked, “That is Judge H——, of the Fifth Judicial District of Missouri.” “Qh b—U, let go that line!" — Westport Siar. 3 Eben + MISCELLANEOUS.
