Grant, accompanied by his wifé<Col. Fred. Grant and wife and Miss Bharpe, ar- rived at this city early yesterday morning and are stoppinggt the Pal- mer house. It was the g@éneral’s in- tention to proceed to Galgha Menday, but owing to the poor health of Mrs. Grant' he will retairi*here until’ Wed- nesday, when he goes directly to New York. In health the mesernl is as over hale and robust, fooling well sat- isfied with the result of his trip to Mexico. “I accomplished my pur- pose,” he said in conversation, “‘hay- ing obtained all that I went for with- out any great difficulty, despite the attempts of certain newspapers and persons here to create an apposition through talk of annexation, &c., that was caused, 1 think, by people interested in other roads who did not want to see a_company oper- ating in Mexico.that they did not con- trol or have an interest in.

I shall very likely roturn their next winter.” BROTHERLY LOVE, “‘General, the situation of affairs at Albany is of great importance just now. “Havo you any objections to giving your opinion on it? af you want to know what T think of the manner in which Mr. Conkling has been treated by the president and by his colleagues in the senate, I will tell you without any hesitation. 1 think it is most outrageous, and if you want to know where I stand in the present contest 1 will tell you that I am with Conkling and Platt. Mr, Conkling is my friend; he has been a warm supporter of mine, but for all that I do mnot owe him near so much to-day as Gar- field. It istrue that Mr. Conkling did not support Garfield in the Chi- cago convention, but he saved him in November. Without New York state Mr. Garfield could not have been elected, and without Mr. Conkling New York state would not have gone republican. Whenever the state has gone republican in past years the cause could be traced to Conkling and his persoual efforts, When 1 say that Garfield owes more to Conkling than I do, I do not mean to underestimate the obligations that T owe to him, but 1 was elected once without the state of New York, and when it did go for | me I wouldhave been elected withoutit. When Mr. Conkling went to Warren and commenced his vigorous campaign | for the republican party, Garfield mat- ters looked very serious. T Defeat was almost certain; it was then, and then only, that the republicans took heart and from that time on the battle turned.

A Bride's Strange Freak Drcarur, 1L, June 9. —A decided sensation was occasioned here last night at 12 o’clock by the unaccount- le conduct of a bride, the wife of young doctor, to whom she was united e ut Owensboro, y morning last. The pair left Owensboro, and arrived at Evansville, Ind., that ¢vening, and stopped at the St. George hotel. They reached here last evening and ocenpicd room the third floor of the St. Nicholas hotel. They were modest in their demeanor, and at ted no particalar attention. During the early part of the evening the young doctor spent a few minutes in the office, making inquires about re- lations ding in the western part of the county. He retired soon after 10 o'clock, and betweon 11and 12 those in the neghborhood of the hotel were startled on hearing the wild screams of a femalo who seomed to be in great fright, and detormined to do bodily injury to hersolf. The woman was the bride, who deliberately jumped out of one of the east windows of the room, but instead of striking the brick pavemont below, fell almost length- wise upon the balcony twelve feet bo- neath the window, from which she emerged attired only in her night- clothes. An ofticer rushed upon the balcony, but when he arrived the woman, who had climbed over the iling, was about to drop off, but he caught her, and finally dropped her into the arms of two men beneath the balcony. She seemed strangely frightened about something, and on reforring to her husband, cried out: SKill him; take him away, take him away,” Sho was borne to her room, but she became 80 violent that her mortitied husband had to leaye and stay away all night. She has a strong aversion to hor husband, though she pronounces him ono of tho kindest of en aud the best man in Kentucky. The loony bride became rational this forenoon, and left for Niantic in com- pany with her husband and relations. Sho was not seriously injured by the fall. The episode is the talk of the town. It is learned that the lady in cx- plaming her conduct said she had | crept quietly from her bed, leaving her husband asleep, and throw herself from the window with the intention of | killing herself. The reason she gave | for the act was heraversion to married | life, of which she had had only two | days' experience. She said her hus- | bund was every way respectable, but she was determined not to live with him. Her strango conduct is attrib- uted to insanity by Dr. Chenowith, who examined her.

Ton years later he sat ono day in‘a hut under the comforta- ble shadow of Table mountain, Cal., a tired, unlucky, spiritless miner, eat- ing his brunetto bacon and baked beans, His wife and daughter, the latter nearly out of her teens, walked in. Raising his cyes from the plate, ho merely remarked, ‘‘Ye've got here at last, hov yel” and again attacked his brunette bacon and his baked beans, Two years elapsed, the wife disappeared from that home, and the other day she was found fourth in a walking match, credited with 398 miles, while the daughter, forsaken by a lover, tried to drown herself. The irl is now inan Oakland lunatic asy- um,the mother is training for another match, and the miner, once more sol- itary, presumably is sitting under the comfortable shadow of Table Moun- tain, munching his brunette bacon and his baked beans, Yet they say that fiction is not stranger than fact, Sl e e §t.
