apt THE LEADING NEWSPAPERS. THE EVENING STAR, | THE WEEKLY STAR. | The proprietors of Tez StaR present to the | Public its daily and weekly editions, respec- | tively, as not only the completest and best, but also the cheapest epitome of events occurring at the national capital, and of general news as well, to be found anywhere. How well the public understands this is conclusively shown | by the exceptionally wide circulation they both enjoy, not in the City of Washington alone, but throughout all the States and Ter- ritories. In order that the reader not now familiar | ‘with the paper and its strong hold on the pub- Me may understand at a glance upon what elements !ts great popularity is Dased, the opinions of some of its contemporaries as to its merits are appended. It is needless to add that no person is so good a judge of the value of any given newspaper as the men who con duct newspapers themselves. What Other Papers Say About The Star.

Mr. Smale had fired off a charge of dynamite and displaced a large quantity of stones at the bottom of the river. He went down to prepare for lifting these stones by the aid of chains into the punt. While engaged in rolling over a large stone he saw something which be sup- posed at the time was a piece of clean looking kelp moving about in front of where he was working. In a few seconds this object came in contact with the diver's arm, about which it quietly coiled, parily holding him.

Trivune, July Sth. _ A Ccriovs Case was recently tried at Cant- bridge, Tl.,—that of Flora A. S$ purloc . against Charles W. Green. The plaintiff, a cireyman's daughter, was married to the de- fendant two years ago, and has by him a child nine months old. She sued to have the marriage declared null and as if it had never existed, and her child a bastard. She swore that she never loved her husband, but was forced to marry him by her mother, who had watched and guarded her, and had written or dictated her letters to ‘him, filling them with expressions of affection she would never have made voluntarily; that she had loved another man and had pleaded against this arriage, and had prayed for death and com. teraplated destruction rather than submit to it;and fimally, being wearied out and worn and distracted, had submitted herselt an un willing partner to the marriage ceremony, but did not consider that in syirit she was ever married to Green. Her mother admitted that this was true, but pleaded that she had acted, as she thought for her daughter's good: the husband consented to a verdict, not wishing to hold an unwilling wife. things discovered. and hold your eye firmly to the spot to sea more than do the rank and file of mankind.

It was intended, he says to have the face of the figure of Liberty fooking to- ward the Narrows, representing welcome to the incoming vessels from foreiga shores, but after careful y studying the effect the Brooklyn Bridge will have when completed, he has de- cided that the statue should face the bridge as nearly as possible. A greater light will be thrown upon the ocean than if the statue faced the ocean. The figure will be of hollow copper filled with sand. he statue, with the pedestal, will be three hundred feet above the level of the sea. Mr. Barthol.li estimates that the cost of the figure will be close upon $300,000.—LV. ¥. Sun.
