A MOTHER FIGHTS FOR THE POSSESSION OF HER CHILD. This morning, at 10 o'clock, Judge Cox had before him, in the Equity Court room, the habeas corpus case of Wm. Edgar Thomas, the four- year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Thomas. It ‘will be remembered that the child was, in last duly, in the custody of Mr. Samuel K. Gettings, and Mr. J. P. Thomas sued out a writ of habeas corpus for its production. While this case was pending, the child was taken from the care of Mr. Gettings by Mr. Thomas and placed in the bands of Mrs. Thomas. A rule was there- apa sued out by Mr. Gettings against Mr. and Mrs. Thomas and Mr. J. F. Keenan to show cause why they should not be attached for con- tempt for tuls pi g, and last Saturday “they appeared without the child, and the mother led ab answer that the child was not now in ‘her custody, and she knew not its whereabouts, Judge Cox thereupon said he would have no more trifling in the matter, and postponing the hearing Uli this morning, he said the child must be produced, Tas moraing there were present at the hear- ing Mrs. Thomas and her child atvended by a number of the mother’s female friends and the other parties interested—Mr. Fay representing Mr. Gettings, and Messrs. B. T, Hanley and W. E. Meloy appearing for Mrs. Thomas and Mr Keenan. ‘The a ene the court, it was considered for the time being in the cusiody oz Mr. Gettings, and bis answer was read. Mr. Fay explained that since the commencement of the a 3 the positions or the parties had cl re ad r, Thomas, a party to the D poy having become satistied that the child should remain tn the custody of Mr. Gettings. Mr. Meloy sald that Mr. Fay Was not the counsel for Mr. Thomas. The court asked what were Mr.Thomas wishes in the matter. Mr. Thomas answered that owiag to some proceedings in the case, not now necessary to state in public he was satified that the child should remain with Mr. Gettings. Mr. Fay suggested that the real’ party now was Mrs. ‘Thomas, and he suggested. that she should be Substituted for Mr. Thomas. Mr. Meloy said they were unable at this time to say what means had been used to induce Mr. Thomas to abandon the suit. They proposed on the part. of bee cee take Issue On the return of Mr. acttings. ‘The court sald there was only one disposition to be made of this case. The father prima furic had the right to the disposition of the ¢chiid. Mr. Meloy suggested that the petition be dis- missed. The court intimated that he would not do :0 with the child in the care of the mother. It was true that the child was In court, but ii had been taken out of the custody of the party to whom the original writ was directed. Mr. Fay submitted an order, that the petitioner having abandoned the case, tie petition be dis- missed and the child remanded to the custody of Mr. Gett'ngs. Mr. Meloy desired to appeal, and thet bonds be tixed. ‘The court.—Who ts there to appeal? ‘The mother ts not a party to this proceeding.” He directed that the child be placed In custody of Mrs. Gettings, in whose Fossession the writ found It. Mr. W. A. Malloy, representing the marshal, was called, and Mr. Fay pointing to Mr. Gettings on one side of the reom, informed him who ite was, aud pointing to the child sitting in the corner, diagonally across, Said that was the child. Mr. Malloy walked over to Mrs. Thomas, who, placinz clte Ly. “You can’t have my child; itismine. Ili di before I'll give it up. Don’t take it! Don't tak- it” Mr. Malloy attempted to take It, but she resisted, and Mr. Gass, of the marshal’s of going to his assistance, took hold of the child, fut she held on to it,’screaming, “Don’t take my child,” «ce, She fought long ahd hard, and, holding to the child, was dragged within a few feet of the judge’s chair, and it looked for a short time like there was to bea rough and tumble fight; but finally her hold was broken, when she turned on her husband. Mr. succeeded in placing the child in Mrs. Ge: arms, and its cries and sobs were soon hushed, and clasping its arms around Mre. Gettlags pas- Stonately ki her. Mrs. G. seated herselr with the child on the Judges’ platform. One of Mrs. G.'s friends directed the court's attention tothe affection between them. By this time Mr. Thomas and his wife had got into an alter- cation. Mr. Gettings{ana bis wife walked out with the child in her arms. Within half an hour after the disposition‘of this case, Messrs. Hau- ley and ry @ petition for Mrs. Thomas for a writ of habeas corpus to Mr. Geitings re- quiring him to produce thechild. She states that in September last she was abandoned by her husband, who left the child in her keeping, and that the child is now unlawfully kept and detained from her by ene Samuel R. Gettti Judge Cox directed the rule to issue returnable on Saturday next at 10 o'clock. ‘The National Fair, TWO NOTED HORSES, ETC.

As it is so seldom in this country that a famtly occupies during even one generatioon the same dwelling, {t rarely occurs that even a very young lady is married in the house where she ‘was born, still leas in the homestead which has remained in her own family over two hundred years. This circumstance was one of many which has attached espectal taterest to the wed- ding on Wednesday, 29th, of Miss Alice, daugh- ter of the esteemed journalist, Major Ben: Per- aes = Se os at Indian ‘arm, the happy legroom being Mr. Frederick Moseley, the son of a well raown banker of pdt eet) Mass. Major Poore’s quaint and beautiful old homestead is situated about five miles from Newburyport, and has long been noted as a place not only beautiful in itself, and of great interest, because of its an- tquity, but also for its extensive and rare col- lection of relics connected with the history of the United States, and more especially of the perioa tmirediately following the Revolutton. When he visited Sir Walter Scott at Ab- dottsford, Major Poore, in admiring the Preservation by its owner in the man- sion there of the woodwork of houses associated with Scottish history, determined to fellow his example and preserve in his own ancient dwelling (built in 1650) the woodwork of historical houses of the United States whenever he could procure any. His collectton once be- sun, became a passion with him, and in the rooms bulit in the rearof his house at Indian Hill, there ts nothing less than one hundred } ears old, and all ts arranged in the style usual in the continental era. Tne main buliding, which is very picturesque, has two wings form: ing a sem!-circular front. This pecullar arrange- meut of the curved front at once suggests the idea that arms are belng hospitably outstretched to welcotae all comers, which fn view of the generous hospitality for which the place has al- ways been famous, is far from being an lilu- sion. It looked tts best on the jweddiag day of the caughter of the hous», wien the guests who were Invited at 3 p.m.’ began to arrive and found it tastefully decorated for the occasion. Flags were waving in the sunlight on the lawa end others adorned the interior. There are four parlors opening intoeach other on the right of the large hall running through the center of the house. In these the guests assembied, and were recelved by Major Poore’s two handsome matden sisters and the ushers Messrs. W. A. Mehaffey, J. W. ‘Tuckerman, K. 8. Means and W. Levin, of Boston Dr. Geo. Clement, of Hav. erbilland J. W. Coftin, Newburyport. An an- nex built in the rear of the large central hail especially for the wedding was festooned with red, white and blue bunting, and had at its ex- treme end a wide bed of flowers raised at the back, the whole making a fine vista from the front of the house, This annex adjoins the Continental parlor the windows of which were converted into doorways for the occasion. Tis parlor has the wide panelling and carved wood- work of the governor’s room in the old Province House, of Boston where the colonial governors resided. The carved white marble mantel was taken from the Stuyvesant House in New York. Above It is an antique mirror and ona high shelf such mantel oruaments as were used a century ago. Here was a red silk banner car- ried in the last war emblazoned with the state arms of Massachusetts. The cornice of tho room was trimmed with wild flowers aad searlet bunting. Te Continental parlor, un- like the older buliding, has a high ceiliog, aad ib was there the wedding ceremony occurred. The facts that ail its woodwork and furniture are at least a hundred years old and that no Wedding bas occurred within a century at Indian Hil Farm until that of Wednesday, th i Seraaserge castle where the princess slept for a hundred years until aroused by the kl3s of her lover was realized, and that the arch of flowers under which the couple stood to be Married was indeed linking the present with the past, youth with age, in spanning the chasm of a century by the power which rules “tn that new world which is the old.” The marriage arch had a background of scarlet cloth, and was of Moorish design, white and gold, trimmed with autumn leaves and wild flowers, Its keystone was a large horseshoe, from which hung a bell. A priv Dieu (or pray- ing stool) was placed beneath it, on which the couple knelt during the prayers in the Eoisco- ye marriage service, which was read by Rev. L. Drown, of Newburyport, who wore his white gown. The scene Was a most picturesque one as, when all were ready, about half-past Ubree o'clock, the procession ‘was formed, and the ushers, two and two, followed by the brides- Maids and groomsmen 1n couples, moved through the drawing-room and hall out of the door in the rear, and passed beneath the vine- covered arches of latulce work (which look upon beds of choice flowers), and through the annex and by the central window into the parlor. Opposite the window was the arch, and about Unis the attendants grouped themselves. ‘Tne bride, who had entered last of all leaning on the arm of her loving father, was met by the groom, Mr. Frederick Moseley, who had entered with his brother Charles (tis “best man”) from the side door. The bride, who bas passed a portion of every year of her life in Georgetown or Washington, and who has numerous relatives in the former city, wore a very rich white satin, with a long train, embroidered in pearls. Roe point lace, an heirloom in the family, and wide pas- sementerie of white bugles, trimmed it. The tuile veil was clasped with a brooch of precious stones worn by her grandmother at her wed- ding fifty years ago, to whom it was sent by Lady Poore, of England. The shoe buckies ot her great grandfather sparkled on her slippers. Solitaire pearls were fastened in her ears. Ex- be the groom’s sister, Miss Charlotte Moseley, ail the bridesmaids were cousins of the bride. These young ladies wore white French musitn trimméd with lace, and each had a bouquet and breast Knot of flowers differing in color the others. The groomsmen’s boutoantires matched the flowers worn by the bridestnatds. These young gentlemen and ladies were :—Miss Moseley and Mr. Appleton, Ue) Miss Ellen Dodge (Providence) and Mr. L. B. Cushing, (Newburyport,) Miss Anna Liitle (Newbury- ort) and Bir. J. F. Williams, (Boston.) Miss ba Newell (Chicago) and Mr. L. P. Barlett, (New York,) Miss Carrie Dodge (Georgetown, D. c..) and Mr. W. D. Wheelwright, (New York.) Over two hundred guests were present, in- cluding some from the District ot Columbia, as Well as from New York, Boston, Newburyportand adjacent towns. A special train of parlor cars had conveyed many from Boston, and as many as the hospitable house could accommodate had been visiting at Indian Hill for several days beforehand. Senators Anthony and Burnside, James Parton, the historian, Mrs. Harriet Pres- cott Spofford (whose sister married the groom's brother), and others of the Prescott, and Spot- ford farullies, and the groorm’s parents and sls- ters were a few of the notable guests. The benquet, which was served on a table decorated with flowers and family stlver, consisted of every dainty, and the large punch bowl (au heir loom), was bountitully supplie’ inan ad- joining reom. The bridal pair left the same day on their wedding trip, but will soon return, as they have issued ecards for receptions at In? dian Hill on the Thursdays in October. They Wl reside with Major and Mrs. Poove, who would not wililagly give up altogether the soclety of thelr only et In ost respeets this wedding resembled one in on lish country house, and a further point of similarity was the lighting of a bontire at night on Indian Hill, which overlooks the house from the top of the immense garden. The presents filled one room, and included a $1,000 bond and many articles in silver trom 150 different persons. Gen. Randall Gibson returned to the city last evening and Is at the Riggs House with his wite and sons. He has been to New York to see his Wite’s mother, Mrs. Montgomery, and her three daughters and son embark for Europe, which they didon Wednesday. They will be absent a year, and Mrs. Gibson expects to join them next April. She will not spend the winter here, but re next week to visit Gen. Preston’s family in entucky, and later will go to New Orleans to spend the winter, Dr. Peck, U.S. N., and his wife, who passed several winters prior to the last in Soe are now at Mare Island navy yard, San Fran: cisco, whither the Doctor was ordered about a month ago.

The hats, neckties or boots of certain pesple seem as much parts of their persons as their noses or their whiskers; but no artificial ad- juncts of the human body are so apparently identical with its nature as spectacles. We know men who seem to smile with their spec- tacles, to frown, to sneer, and even to eat with them. They are the most prominent features, so to speak, of their countenances, and we should miss them as much as we should miss their eyes or their ears. Indeed, it would almost seem indecent if they were to take them off. It bever occurs to us for a moment that they were born without them, nor would it strike us as Strange if we were to see a little spectacled face peeping out of their babies’ cradles. We are of course, referring to the habitual, chronic, and incurable spectacle wearers, and not to occa- sloval offenders. There are probably but few Civilized people of a certain age who do not make more or less use of glasses, and we might give a worse definition of our fellow creatures than by describing them as spectacle wearing animals. An observant person can scarcely have failed to notice how much and how variously the use of glasses alters the expression. With some people spectacles look what they are, mere in- struments; but with others they seem part and parcel of their faces. Although the wearing of glasses always affects a person’s face, we scarcely notice that they are worn by certain people. Yet there are cases in which the glasses are more conspicuous than their wearers, and we feel as if we were talking to the Spectacles rather than to the human belong behind them, The lenses seem to have life and spirit, and we should almost fancy we were committing manslaughter if we were to break them. Some people’s spectacles have a pec Marly objectionable and impudent expressio: The r weareis throw their heads back to look a’ and there is an unblushing and staring ap- nee about the whole arrangement,taan and Speciacles, which is decidedly offensive. We feel at a disadvantage, too, for it is impoasible for (Le naked eye to assume a like afr of involer- able impertinence. Then there are, on the other Lend, abject spectacies, which seem cowed in obez'presence, Their owners drop their heads, or slowly raise them on one side like ducks in a storm. ‘There are strong and uncomproiis'ng- locking spectacles which 1t would evidently te unpleasant to dispute with, and there are weak looking spectacles which one fancies might be easily bamboozled. There are some spectacles which look as if they wished they were not spectacles, and others which seem to take a pleasure in being spectacles, and to wish every one to be aware of the fact. ‘Like Cther things, spectacles have moved with the times. The glasses worn by our great- grandparents were something like spectacles. Those for instance, which are depicted in the portraits of Sir Joshua Reynolds by himself, are instruments which few would be brave enough to use in these days, Their only living representatives are the heavy spectacles which are sold in out-of-the-way Village shops; things with great wide rims made of tortoise shell, Iver, or brass, with double springs or holes at ends by which to tie on the whole appar: tus at the back of the head. The specta of fifty years ego were heavy cumbroi mackines, almost circular, and broadly rimmed. They were about as formid ble looking as the umbrellas of Une same period. In former days litle trouble was taken to make glasses becoming, because they were seldom used except for cid and dim eyes, for the art of being short-sighted was not discovered until sometime after the invention of spectacles. Among the rural poor, even now, gli are seldom worn except by the old and dim-sighted. Among cottagers there seems to exist a super. sutton that the use of spectactes gives an air of respectability if not of piety to the wearer. An open Bible with a pair of spectacles laid across it is supposed to be conclusive evidence of the sanctity of the owner, and to be more than the bardest-hearted curate or district visitor can re- ‘There is always something clerical in well-or- dered spectacles, A parson may be most par- Sonic in his bearings and appearance, but his parsonification is intensely parsonified by the addition of spectacles. He has no sooner put them on his nose than he seems at once to have sprung from one to forty parson power. His views may have been sound before, but he looks much sounder when he has Put on his Spectacles. His influence is also much in- creased by this addition, for a creature all black cloth and gleaming Spectacles is a for- mldable object, espectally to children. Glasses again have thelr Scholastic uses. ‘There Is a eyeing smal v8 h spectacles which 1s very awe inspiring, "Even looking over freed hhas been known to alarm peo: Ple before now.—Saturday Review, E/*7240RpInaBy BARGAINS IN BLAOK CASHMERES, DOUBLE WIDTH, 25, 30, 87, 40, 45, 50 cents.

The American Stockman has some Interest- Ing chat about saddle horses, from which we pe as follows: To the man who travels over e face of the earth, ‘ing from country to country, nothing will ap] as more ex- treme In the manners of the different people he comes in contact withal than their various f methods of riding horses. While the Arab ts ‘the ancient {deal of a perfect ho yet our own country probably furnishes as great va- riety and styles of horsemanship as ali the na- {ons of the world put together. Let us take a hasty glance at the different patterns our coun- try affords: In Mexico, Texas and the extreme Southern states the style of riding 1s quite unique. On the other side of the Mississ.ppi river a suitable costume is quite 1odispensable. ‘The bridie is armed with a curb-bit of terrific leverage. The saddle bears an immense pommel to ease the strain of the larlat or the elbows of the sleepy rider. A common buckled h would never doin such sclentifie riding. The broad hatr band Is tightened with acunning twist froma long loose strap that has been “sprung” upon until the band {sas Ught as wax. We are all, at least in pictures, familar with the broad sombrero; slashed breeches and Jarge silver spurs with their at- tached “jingles,” This rider In his appolat- ments and horsemanship ts certainly worthy 0? Much admiration, ior he M@ways looks “at home” and graceful when he tries to be, evea on the most veritable plug of a mustang. It is seldom, however, that his charger calls forth anything but a feeling of pity from the edu- cated horseman. The native breeds of those sections is a long way off from the ideal saddie horse of the middle states. In Tennessee, Ken- tucky and Virginia we probably see the art of horsemanship both in its relations to horse and rider carried to a higher standard than in any other part of the world. Here we find the horse bred for generatio s under the most enlightened rules for breeding, and with the sole purpose tn view of making hin the perfection of a saddle horse. In phys!- cal features he is a model of the artist. In gaits his variety is infinite—a rapid walk, fox-tret, rack, trot, lope and run, changing ‘from one motion to the other at a practiced signal from therider. in temper pertect. quick and com- prehensive. This 1s a point which no one! ut the practiced rider can appreciate. The briuje lines are actually useless with him. A slight bending of the body forward inforns him you wish the gilt quickened; settilog firmer back in the saddle intimates to him to stacken the gait; a slight bending of the body in the saddle, with a little pressure of the opposite Knee, and perhaps an un- conscious motion of the bridle hand in the «i- rection you wish to turn is all the management he needs. The lines are never pulled to turn him right or left, but pressed against the side of the neck opposite the direction you wish to turn, Leaning forward in the saddle puts him in a fast walk or fox trot. To put him in a rack the bridle retns are pulled taut, while the heels bring the spur pressure to his sides. To make him trot, the reins and heels are let loose, the hands pressed upon the withers, and the body slightly raised in the saddle ‘until he gets settled in his gatt. To make him canter or lope settle in the saddle and wave one hand in the air. These are not the inventions of a single individual, but the universal custom among those who train saddle horses in th? States named. We now come to the rider of this perfected Saddle horse. He sits in hi3 seat with an easy comfortable grace that shows his familiarity with it from earliest boyhood. The stirrups are so long that his toes barely rest with ease in them, while his heels turn slightly outward, re- eving his appearance of extreme awkwardness that 1s so often seen in riders whose toes point at right — with the horse's sides. These horses are thoroughly bitted when young and thus taught to carry a high and stylish head, so that when tn full motion, with the favorite gait, & rack, and bestrid by this superb rider, the whole makes a picture that chalienges our high- est admiration.

Honored Baitioner of the Evening Star: T have hailed you to crave sufficient. roo! in your newspaperial to have it divulgate the heretofore untold anallvation of an important ‘xurpator which with a velocity banishes coryga and Its ignant concom- (tants. The ‘merits of the extirpator and tts miraculous exploits will, I feel sure, be grate- tully greeted and appreciated by the tntelligent masses on the shores of all countries. The subsequent dissertation ts founded on facts, theietore it 1 destined to dawn on the pages of modern medical jurisprudence. Tam a lover of company, and no doubt, un- less I have something nobvie to urge me’ on, I will be lonely before announcing extirpa- tors location. 1 have selected Rhetoric and logic to escort my quill, so now without paus- ing behold us ee, easily and gallantly on our intellectual pligrimage. The darkness which embowered the glories and life giving qualties of the Extirpator has been swept aWay (as in a whirlwind) by my co- lossal achievements of the past. On the twenty-ninth day of October, A. D. one thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine, f saw the See eo lying in the bosom of tts mother earth. brought the "xtirpator forth and analyzed tts curative properties. The course of experiments from which this novel, ingenious theory was deduced in now going to appear, The analysis of the Extirpator revealed to me these four mighty, substantial Vakeels, namely: Vallant, Vigor, Vitality and Virtue. Each one 1s doomed to sovereigniy;act as follows: first, ex- pels the sordes; second, allays irritation; third, coe pee secretion; and fourth, purities the putrid nose. Mr. ©, Hinkley of Boston was the first person on whom I tested the Extirpator’s wonderful re- vivifying powers. _The Extirpator, educated tn the University of Nature and endowed by her mysterious laws with those four named reqaisites, gently marched into Mr. Charles Hitckley’s nasal cavity and engaged in combating three compil- cated mualadles—Chronte Catarrh, Bronchitis and spasmodic Asthma. In thirty minutes the results of the conflict Were an amazing expuision of more taan one hundred millions of slain antmacules; also a discharge of nearly three fluid ounces of sords. The Extirpator came out environed with vic- torious wreaths, and the patient immediately Panegerized the discoverer upoa !ts successful epgagement. Thave in my possession a paper from Mr. C. Hinckiey confirming the foregoing statement, bears the autographs of three distin’ ae hed gentlemen, to wit: The Hon. William C alin, then Governor of Massachusetts, Oliver Worcer, then cretary of State, and the late 4s. Shurtleff, then Mayor of Boston. Among tie numerous bodily aftictions class- Itied by Lhe most astute pathologists there 1s none so prevalent, disgusting, insidious and de Structive as nasal catarrh, Diseases Of the nose, which are caused by in- roads of sordes, lead in almost every lastance to portial or complete deafness and impaired eye- Sight. ‘The voice becomes hoarse in conversa- Uon, singing, or reading aloud, attended by fre- quent efforts to clear the throat and windpipe from sticky poisonous mucus. 5 By the sordes and animalcutes clogging the nasal emunctories the fauces, bronchial tubes and lungs become contaminated, as surely a3 the boom from a cannon succeeds its touch-hole flash, and the once sprighuy aud robust indl- vidual becomes either a confirmed asthmatic or a consumptive. Before I lay aside the pathological pen or dis- miss {ts sublime convoys I will here give the definition of sordes, which are momentarily ac- cumulating in diseased nares. Sordes, foul or filthy matter, dregs, dirt. refuse excretions; sordes are the origin of antmal- cules, and from the sordes the animalcule de- lives Its nutriment. At this crisis I rise from the chair of Sages to deliver a brief quotation from the writings of Ehrenberg, the authority On microscopy. Under the class “Intusoria,” Ebrenberg embraced two very different forms of apimal life, He divided them into “Polyyastrica,” “Rtol- fera;” the latter division included the’ animals known by the name of “Wheel Animalcules.” The Polygastrica, 80 cailed from the supposition that the typical form possessed a number of ret re all the rematning species of “Infasorta.” Tuorsinds of them might swim side by side through the eye of a small needie. and it would r quire a hundred and eighty seven millions of thm to welgh a single grain. Iam correct in asse. ng !hat In at least. seventy-five per cent. of human frontal sinuses antmaicules exist. Are bot those statistics sutticiently alarming to arouse Catarrhal snufiers from thelr leth- 2 “Reep in Memory that the animalcules and sordes mentioned in this instrament must be exUrpated before the cure of nasal disease can be eflected, and when this is accomplished the catarrhous sufferer ts well. At one interview two-thirds of the cases that come under my observation for professional service leave my operating parlor jocond, and ho more snvflling from the effects’ of catarrh, the Worst of which on record succumb by the Speciticaction of the “Extrpater” in from three to six visits. The writer ts the only maa living holding this wondrously eficacious “Ex- tirpaior.” ‘The public are to decide which one of thes? two they will choose—an insalubrious nose or a healthy one. The several stages of nasal ca- tarrh and its cognates are fully explained at my reception-room. Those desirous of adoptiag the “Extirpator” must previously be examined. My method of aditnisteriag the “Extirpator” 1s based upon the soundest principles of scientific experience. It fs local application, for Nasal Catarrh is urely a local complaint, although 1t 1s treated by the self-constituted gods of the Materia Med- ica as @ constitutional distemper. ‘The more eople thus Jgnorantly doctored the greater will fe the annual mortality from ulcerations of the Sebuiederian membrane.
