Bailey un- conditionally surrendered. The ease of Wm. W. Bailey vs. Josephine Bailey, suit for divorce, to which the respon- dent had filed a cross bill, came up for settle- ment before a court, a few days ago. This is the way Mr. Bailey told how he had been at- tacked and captured by his wife: She came to onr house visiting. She stayed all night. My daughter left us in the room to- gether.

She was a ragged- locking girl; locked strong and handy like. She stayed that night, and the next morning she asked me if I had made up mind. I finally told her we would go to the minister's and get married, and accordingly we rode to Parson Wileox in Jewett City and got married.

He feared his wife might get too much cider, and so he cut the tap off the Darrel. She was a temperance woman, but leved cider and longed for her wonted supply. She resolved to establish communication with the barre}, and whettled a butcher knife with a most sanguinary air, and Mr. Bailey imagined that in addition to an inordinate ion for apple juice she thirsted for his blood. She also movec his gun from its accustomed place into the pailor, where she could have it nearer at hand. He did not like that stroke of military tactics. She was habitually crossand stubborn, and boxed his ears, and, as he remarked, “Wa’n't no ways to be compared with my first wite.” In short, be lived in terror by day, and always slent with one eye open at night. Her baby was tive weeks old when Josephine went fo visit her parents, and Mr. Bailey lost bo time in putting in a petition for divorce. 4 She was notified, and filed a cross petition, and while Loth cases were thus pending, Mrs. Bailey returned with her child, made another attack on the softness of Mr. Bailey’s head and t, was forgiven, and he took his wife and tohis bosom. ‘Under these cireumstances | the diverce suits fell of their own accord, and | the Jedge decided that that man would have to go on living with that woman, or begin t war over again. —<_—_<____.

A New Process or CLEANING PrcTURRs has recently been discovered. The great difficult: has always been to get off the old varnish, whic! by. length ‘of time, has become almost incorpora- ted with the color underneath, so that any meth- od employed to remove the upper surface is pret- ty certain to carry off with it the delicate lines below. Some picture.dealers use corrosive sub- stances, which make the matter worse. An in- mious m has been discovered at Amster- lam, which consists in stmply spreading ‘acoat- ing of copalba balsam on the old painting, and then keeping itface downward overa dish ofthe same size filled with cold alcohol at an altitude of about three feet. The vapors of the liquid impart to the copaiba a degree of semi-fiuidity, in which state it easily amalgamates with the varnish it covers.

Tue Law or MarriaGe tw Missovrt.—A case of some interest Tegarding what consti. tutes marriage in its legal aspects on Friday by Judge Treatin St. Lonis. The case was that of Mrs. Carrie Holabird against the Atlantic Mutual Life Insurance Company, which was ——, decided in favor of the laintiff in the United States Circuit Court. Fe defendant filed a motion fora new trial. ‘The principal ground of the motion was tifut the Court in allowing the plaintiff to testify to the fact of the production at the same time of the clergyman’s certificate of the marriage, or a certified copy thereof from the rei Is of the county recor- der. The judge decided the case by overruling the motion. His reasons for this were, substan- that while a cl may neglect his keeping a récord of ificate to the county recorder, his failure fo do so does not invalidate the legality of the marriage ceremony or render the un- lawful, null, and void. The best evidence of the marriage is the direct testimony of those who were present when the contract was en- tered into, who as sworn witnesses in the case, testify to the fact itself.
