That he was married, and has children, as stated by the plaintiff in her complaint. 3d. The defendant has no wish to attack any statement. the plaintiif makes in relation to her conduct during the twenty-one years of their | married life, and sincerely regrets that he is required to defend himself from any attack on the part of the plaintiff. He is compelled to deny the charge of desertion contained in this count, and to assert in the most positive and truthful manner that it is unjust and untrue, and | that the idea of desertion was never entertained y and is very repugnant to him. 4th. This count charges that about eight years ago the defendant abandoned the Christian | church, became an Infidel, a Spiritualist, and a “believer in the so-ealled doctrine of Free Love, and from that time ceased to be either a good husband or a kind father.” The defendant ad- mits with profound satisfaction that he ‘‘aban- doned the Christian church” (somewhat longer ago than the time named); that he “became an Infidel,” a Spiritualist and a believer in Social Freedom. He, however, denies that ‘from that time he ceased to be either a good husband or a | kind father,” and claims that these prvofs of moral, intellectual and spiritual growth have been priceless aids to him in all the relations of life. The defendant avers in this connection that the plaintiff also abandoned the Christian church at the sametime, and has not. to the best of his knowledge and belief, been inside of one since: that she also became, and has ever since been known as an Infidel, a Spiritualist and a believer in Social Freedom. And as sufficient proof of this, the defendant cites the fact that our young- est child, now nearly 9 years of age, is named after one of the grandest Infidels and Spiritual- ists of modern times. 5th. In this count the defendant is charged with “brutal and ferocious” treatment of the vhildren, and threats of personal punishment to the plaintiff at times when she interfered in their behalf. ‘Brutal and ferocious” are very repulsive and expressive words, and excite in the mind of the defendant a feeling of deep ab- horrence. They are grossly unjust and untruth- fulin their application, and the defendant be- lieves would be repudiated by the children them- selves in an unbiased expression of opinion. The views of the plaintiff and defendant upon parental discipline have clashed, and this fact has sreatly increased the difficulty of attaining to the best methods of training the children. The defendant has never punished the children when he would not gladly imy2 Teceived more severe panishment himself if the oiject could as well ave been attained in that way. whither the | opinion of the defendant the children excelled ! n shot down at the | obedience, respectfulness, affection, modest; gross and pernicious vices which were intensely aggravating to the defendant, and very destrac- tive to themeelves.

In regard to Spiritualism, while the defendant’s belief ia its essential fea- ture has been strong and persistent, that of the plaintiff, though generally asi wz, has often wavered and was never strong and decided. The defendant, therefore, feels that whatever of odium inthe opinion of the court attaches to an honest belief, especially in Social Freedom, shouid justly be shared by each, or neutralized | as a factor in this suit for divorce. In regard to the charge of desertion, the de- | fendant has never ceased to feel the greatest pain. It is unjust and untruthful. It is c trary to his desire and intention. It is so wicked and devilish as to seem to haye been inspired by & common enemy. When the defendai to his present residence the plaintiff was con- fined to her bed, the weatler was unpleasant, and it was known to have been unwise to move her, but the defendant had no suspicion that the plaintiff would not join him as soon as. she was | able to be moyed, and he solemnly avers that he had nothing in his heart but love and kind- ness for her; that he left the very best of the furniture in the house for her use, giving his personal attention to see that every article of convenience that he thought she would need was left for her, and sending her food daily by the children, until it was refused and returned, with the request that no mor€ be sent, and that the defendant should come at once and take away the furniture, as she,was about to move into an elegantly furnished house, which had been provided for her in Grant’s Row. The de- fendant, at some fp: nal {ncuirvenience, it being Saturday night, arranged to remove the furniture, but on sending word learned that the plai had been deceived in regard to the house in Grant’s Row, and was not quite ready to part with the furniture, and it is yet in her ion. The defendant was then informed that the plaintiff had concluded to remain where she was, and that the rent of the house for five months had been paid in advance, two tons of coal had been Peeves, aud satisfactory ar- Tangements had been made for her future come fort. |The defendant having asuspicton that the peohe was again deceived, visited the agents, essrs.

The de- Ne] fendant then, for his own protection,deputized the agent to inform the plaintiff that he would send. an ambulance for her at once if necessary, and carefully remove her to the new residence, He also made the same offer in writing through the neighbor, at whose house she is now being 9.
