"I understand your pa has got to drinking again like a fish," says the grocery man to the bad boy, as the youth came into the grocery and took a handful of dried apples. The boy ate a dried apple and then made up a terrible face, and Hie grocery man askeil him what he was trying to do with his face. The boy caught his breath and then said: 1 "Say dont you know any better than to keep dried apples where a boy can get hold of theih when he has got the litumpsf You will kill some boy yet by such dum carelessness. I thought these were sweet dried apples, but they are sour as a boarding house keeper, and they make me tired. Didn't you ever have the miunps f Gosh don't it hurt, though I You have got to be darn careful when you have the mumps, and not go out bob-sledding or skating, or you will have your neck swell up biggern a milk pail. Pa says he had the mumps once when he was a boy and it broke ii m all up. , ; . "Well, never mind the mumps, how about your Pa spreeing it. Try one ot those pickles, in the jar there, wont you? I always like to have a boy enjoy himself "when he conies to see me," said the grocery man, winking to a man whd was filling-an old fashioned tin box with tobacco out of the pail, who winked- back as much as to say, "if that boy eats pickle on top of them mumps we will , have a circus, sure." "You can't play no pickle on me not when I have the mumps. Ma passed the pickles to me this morn ing, and I took one mouthful, and like to had the lockjaw. But Ma ilidn't do it oh purpose, I guess. She never had the mumps and didn't know how discouraging a pickle is. 'Darn if I didn't feel as though I had been struck in the butt of the ear with a brick. But about, Pa. He has been fuller'n a goose ever since .New Years day. 1 think its wrong lor women to tempt feeble minded persons with liquor on Xew Year's. Xow me and my chuui, we can take a drink and let it alone. We have got 'brain, aud know when we have got enough, but Pa, when he gets to going don't ever stop untill he gets so sick that he can't keep his stummick inside of himself.- .It .'is getting so they look to me to brace Pa up every time he gets on a tear' and I guess I fixed him this time so he wiU never touch liquor again. I scared him so his bald head turn gray in. a single night. "What under the heavens have you done to him now?' says, the grocery man, in astonish ment. "I hope you haven't done anything you will regret in after years." ' "Regret nothing," said the boy, as he, turned the lid of the cheese box back and took the knife and sliced off a piece of cheese, and took a few crackers out of a barrel, and sat down ou a soap lox by the stove, "You see Ma was annoyed to death with Pa. He would come home full, when she had company, and lay down on the sofa and snore, and he .'would smell like a dist illery. 1 1 hurt me to see Ma cry, and I told -her I would break Pa of driuking if she would let me, aud she "said if I would promise not to hurt -Pa to go ahead, and I promised not to. Then I got my chum and another boy, quite a big boy, to help, and Pa is all ' right We went down to the place where they sell arms and legs, to folks who have served ."in the army', or a saw mill, or a thrashing machine, and lost their limbs and we borrowed some arms and. legs, and fixed up a dissecting room We fixed a long table in the basement 1 . . i a. a . i . uig enougii io my j-a out on vou know, and then wo got false .whis kers-and moustaches, and ..when Pa came in the house drunk and laid down on the sofa, and got to sleep we took him and laid him out on the table, and took some trunk straps, an a sircingle and strapped him down to the table. He slept right a long all through 'it, and we nail another table with the false arms and legs on, and we rolled up sleeves, and smoked pipes, just like 1 read that medical students do when they cut ;.np'a-. man. Well, you'd a ilMe to see Pa look at us when hevoke up. r saw him open his eyes and then we be gan to talk about cutting up dead men. We put hickory nuts in our mouths so our voices would sound different, so be wouldn't know us and I was telling the other boys about what a time we had cutting up the 'last manr we bought. I said he was awful tough, and when we had got his' legs off and had taken out his brain, his friends come to the dissecting room and 'LET A THE ENDS THOU A WILSON, NORTH CAROLINA. MAY claimed the body, and we had to give it up, but I saved the legs. I looked on the table and he began to turn pale, 'and he squirmed around to get up, but found he was fast. 1 had pulled his shirt np un. der his arms, while he was asleep", and as he began to move I took an icicle, and inthe dim light of the candles, that were sitting on the table in beer bottles, I drew the icicle across Pa's "stummick audi said to my chum' 'Doc, I guess we had better cut open this old duffer and see if he died from inflama tion of the stummick, from hard drinking, as the coroner said he did.' Pa shuddered all over vtIiph he felt the icicle going over his bare stummick, and he Raid. 'For God's sake, gentlemen, what does this mean? Iam not dead.' The other boys looked at Pa with astonishment, and I said Well, we bought you for dead, and the cor oner's jury said you were dead' and by the eternal we ain't going to be fooled out of a corpse when we bury one, are we Doc?' My chum said not if he knowed his self, and the .other students said, "Of bourse he is not dead. He thinks he is alive, but he died ,day beforj yes terday, fell dead on the stree ;, and his folks said he was a nuikance aud they wouldn't claim the corpse, and we bought it at the morgue- Then I drew the icicle across, him again, and I said, 'I don't know about this, doctor. I find that blood follows the scalpel as I cut through the cuticle. Hand me the blood sponge please.' Pa began to wiggled around, and we looked at him, and my chum raised his eye lid, and looked solemn, and Pa said "Hold on, gentlemen. Don't ..cut into me anymore, and I can ex plain this matter. This is alia mistake. I was onlv drunk.' We weut in a corner and whispered and Pa kept talking all the time. He said if we would pospone the hog killing he could . send and get witnesses to prove that he was not de!ad, but that he was a respecta' ble citizen, and had a family. Af ter we held a consultation 1 went to Pa and told him that what he said about being alive might possibly be true, though we had our doubts. We had found such cases before in our practice east, where men seem ed tobe alive, but it was only tempor ary. Betore we had got them cut up they were dead enough for all practical purposes. Then I laid the icicle across Pa's abdomen, and went on to tell liimthat even if he was alive it would be better for him to play that he. was dead, be cause he was a nuisance to bis family that they did not want him, and I was telling him that I had heard that in his lifetime he was very cruel to his boy, a bright little fellow who was at the head of his class iu Sunday school and a pet wherever he was known, when Pa interrupted me and said, 'Doctor, please take that carving knife off my stomach tor it makes me nerv ous. As lor that ooyoi mine, he is the condemndest little whelp in town, and he isn't no pet anywhere. Xow, you let up on this . dissectin' business, and I will make it all right with you.' We held another consultation and then I told Pa that we did not feel . that it was doing him justice to society to give up the body of a notorious drunkard, after we had paid twenty dollars for the Corpse. If there was any hopes that he would reform and try and lead a dinerent lite, it would be different, and I said to the boys 'gentleman, we must do our duty.' Doc, you dismember that leg, and I will attend to the stomach and the upper part of the body. lie will 'be dead before we are done with him. We must reniem ber that society has some claim on us and not let our better natures work ed upon by the post mortem prom, isesofa dead drunkard.' Then I took my icicle and began fumbling around the addomen portion of Pa's remains, aud my chum took a rough piece of ice and began to saw bis leg and said he would catch it when it dropped off. Vell Pa' kick ed like a steer. He said lie want ed to make one more appeal to us, and we acted sorter impatent but we let up to see what he had to say. He said if we would turn him loose he would give us ten dollars more than we paid for his body, and that he would never drink another dron as lonff as he lived. Then J we whisiiered some more and then .. . f VI , ! told him we tnougnt iavoraoiy or his last nroposition, but he must swear, with his hand on the leg of a we were then dissecting mat ne would never drink again, and then he must be blindfolded and becon : ducted several blocks away from the dissecting room, before we could turn him loose. He said that was all right, and so we blindfolded him and made him take a bloody oath, with his hand on a piece of ice that we told him was a piece of another corpse, and then we took him out of the house and waited mm arounu the block four times, and left him on the corner, after he had promis ed to send the money to an address that I era ve him. We told him to standstill five minutes after we left him, then remove the blindfold and go home. We watched him, from behind aboard fence, and he took off the handkerchief, looked at the name on a street lamp, and and found he was not far lrom home. He started off saying 'That's a pretty narrow escape , old man. TCn more wMsKev ior VOU.' A urn not see him again until this morn and when I asked him where he was lastnisrht. He shuddered and said 'none of your business. But I never drink anymore you remem lleIlthat., Ma was tickled and she told me that I was worth my weight in jrold. WelL good day. That cheese is musty." ' And the boy went and caught on a passm sleigh. IUI'ST AT, BE THY COmCTBY'S, REV. DR. TALMAGE. -:0:- PAREXTS DUTY TO CHILDREN.-' THEIR HOW TO Bit ING Til EM VT. Doctor Talmage preached from j the 10th., chapter of Proverbs, last Sunday morning, to his custo-, mary large congregation: 'A wise son maketh a glad father, but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother." "In this graphic way" said he, "Solomon sets forth the idea that the good and evil behavior of chil dren blesses or blights the paren tal heart. You know there are persons who seem to have no speci al interest in the welfare of their children-. The father says : "My boy must take the responsibility I took in life; if he turns out right, all right, if he turns out ill, he will have to take the consequences. He has the - same chance I had and must take care of bimself." The shepherd might just as well turn a lamb into a den of Lions and say "Little Iamb take care of yourself." Only all the brute creation are kind enough to look after their young. ''",'.'. I was going though the woods one day when I heard a shrill cry from above, looking up I saw a nest and found that the old bird had left the brood to starve, but this is not generally the case. The lion will rend you if yon come near to I the whelps even the fowls of the barn yard with their clumsy feet aud heavy wings will fly at you if you approach, their young too near; and certainly God meant that man should be as kind as the ; brute. Christ comes through all our households and says : '-Take ; good eare of the minds of your children.. What are yon doing for their mortal souls ? I am going first, if God will help me, to show the cause of parental solicitude and then the alleviation of that solicitude. ' In the first place, the parents solicitude arises from the imper fections of parents on their own part. We hope that if we have any excellencies they, will copy them ; the probability, however, is that they will copy our faults, and omit our excellencies. Children are very . apt to be echoes of the parental life. Some one meets a lad on a back street and finds him smoking and says: "Why, lam astonished at you ; where did you get that segiir?" "Oh, I picked it up on the street." "What would your father or your mother say if they knew this?" "Oh," he replies "my father smokes." There is not one of us to-day, who would like to have our children copy our exam ple. That is the cause of solicitude on the part of all of us. We have so many faults we don't want any copied dasrueraeotyped on the character of those that come af terwards. - Then solicitude arises from our conscious insufficiency and unwisdom of discipline. Out of twenty parents there may be one parent who understands' thoroughly and skillfully how to dis cipline; but perhaps no more than' one out of twenty. Xearly all of us are on the one side or on the other. Here is a father who says "I am going to bring up my. chil dren right, my son shall know nothing but religion and hear noth ing but religion. They are routed Out at six o'clock in the morning to say the ten commandments. They are wakened up from the sofa Saturday night to recite t he catechism. Their bed room walls are covered with religious pictures. If a minister comes to the house he is requested to take the boy aside aud tell him what a great sinner he is. It is religion, morning, noon, and night. Time passes on and the parents are waiting for the return of the loy at night. It is teti, eleven, twelve and half past twelve when they hear the rattle of the night key. George comes in. He hastens upstairs for fear of being accosted. The father says ; "George, where have yon been?" He says: "I have been out;" yes he has been out. (laughter) and he has been down town. The father says to his wife, "mother the ten commandments are a failure, and also is the west minister cate chism. I liave done my best for that bov, just see how he has turned out. Ah! my lriend you stuffed that boy with religion, you had no sympathy with him within innocent hilarities. Then the dis cipline is a failure in many house holds because the father pulls one way and the mother the other , way The father says: 'My sou, if I find you in fault again I will chas tise you, I am going to keep my promise." The mother says : "Don't, let him off this time." A father says: "I have seen so many that make mistakes, by too great severity in the rearing of their children, now I will let my boy do as he pleases, THY GOD'S, AXD TRUTH'S'." 4. 1883. He shall have full swing. Here, my son, are tickets for the theatre and opera. If you want to play cards, do so, if you don't want to play cards j-ou need not play them. Have a good time, go when yon want to, amPeonie back when you want to!-'. Have a good timego il!" Plenty of money for the most part. Give a boy plenty of money and ask him not what he does with it and you pay his way straight to perdition. After a while the boy thinks he must have a large sup ply. He must have wine suppers. One day a messenger from the bank over the way calls in and says to the father of the household of which I am speaking "the officer of the bank would like to have you step over a minute." The father steps over to the bank, the officer says: "Is that you check!" "Xo it is not my. check, I never make an H Jin that way; I never put a curve to the y, in that way. It is not my signature. It is a counter feit ! send for the police !" "Stop" says the officer of the bank, "your son wrote that." Xow the father and mother are waiting for the son to come home at night. It is half past twelve; now it is one o'olook. The son comes through the hallway. The father says: "My sou what does this mean? I gave you an opportu nity, 1 gave you all the money you wanted, I told you to have a good time." The son says: "What is the use of going on in that way ? You told me to "go it !" and I just took you at your suggestion." . Dr. Talmage wondered if the subject did not strike some paren tal heart against the way they have been bringing up their chil dren and concluded by appealing to them to bring their children up in a God-like common sensed wray. B. N. The Annointliig Process. Jamestown is stirred up as nev er before in its municipal existence. A few days ago one "Rev. M. Barnnm" made his appearanee in that place and claimed to be the forerunner of Christ, and asserted his power to work miracle's. He carried with him a gourd of oil which he used 'for annotating purposes and actually asserted that he could restore the dead to life. He lubri cated a number of sick people in the village and thCy were lifted from their beds of sickness and pain as if by magic. He gave open air performances ami so wild and blasphemous were his utterances, Maj or Johnson ordered his abate ment as a public nuisance; This action has stirred up the Anglo Saxon of some of the Jamestown people and they are. hunting for a man to beat Johnson for mayor at the approaching election. The town is now hopelessly divided in to factions, the "Annotating" and the "Anti-Annointing" party. The 'coutestis growing' iu warmth both side being about, equally matched. It is apprehended that the election may result in a deadlock, and in that event the Jamestown water-works will be imperiled. Greensboro "Patriot." A Petrified Corpse. oometwoor three years since a lady died in Sullivan county, Mo., and was buried iu the usual style. During the cold weather of the past winter her husband died, and was buried at another graveyard in the same neighborhood, and it was suggested to disinter the woman and bury her by her husband, when several persons repaired to thu grave and removed the dirt from the coffin. Putting ropes under it, four men were not able to lift it. from the vault. Assistance was pro cured, aud, by the united efforts of eight men the coffin was raised to the surface, which was so aston ishingly heavy they concluded to open it, which they did, and found the body a solid rock, preserving the features wonderfullv perfects with only a sink on the nose,cansed by the breaking of the gla.ss in the Jid ot the coffin, which had occurra before the jtetrifactioii had J taken place. The hair was perfectly nat ural. Some clothing had partak en partially of the petrifaction, and some hail not, but had changed its color from black to irreeii. The body was taken and reintered by the side of her husband. About a year ago Mr. John F, Slater of Connecticut, gave a .mil lion dollars, known as the Slater fund, tobe devoted to the educa tion of colored children to be teach ers. President Hayes is president of tlie trustees, among whom is Gov. Colouit, of Georgia. The use made of the fund is to educate pu pils in institutions. Rev. Dr. A.

TERRIBLE CYCLOXE SWEEPS THROUGH MISSISSIPPI DEA Til ANti H EST II VCTIOX. Jackson, Miss., April, -is. The mast violent and destructive storm known in this section passed over the towns of Tillman, Beauregard, Wesson aud Lawreuce last evening at 5 o'clock. -The most distressing accounts have beenreceived. The names of the killed aud wounded at Wesson are not known here but theyi are chiefly mill operatives. Wesson escaped partially, only part of the town'being iu the path of the hurricane. Lawrence, Miss., suffered heavily by loss of proper ty, but no lives were lost. Aside from the loses inthe towns men tioned the devastation iu the coun try lying in the path of the hum canej was very great. Crops, farm houses aud stock were de stroyed, with some loss of life. A public meeting of citizens this evening subscribed 500 lor' the sufferers. One year ago yesterday the town of Monticello, six miles south of the track of this torm, was almost destroyed by n torna do, j' , ; A Red Lick, (Miss.,) special says: At li yesterday morning a torna do passed through Abontou, one mile ( east of tliis place, causing some, loss of life - and great damage to Iffoperty. The track of the storni was 200 yards wide. Every thing in its track was swept away dwellings, cabins, trees, fences, cattle, etc. Oif the Boss plaee, a mile from here, the storm blew down the quarters .-and fences, kill ing a colored child and injuring sev eral ? persons. But one, house re mains standing. ' On tlie Killings- worth plantation a great many cabins were blown down. Much damage was done" 'to crops and fences. In one, cabin were live people, who, say the walls and roof the house were lifted up and carried away, leaving--the -people standing unhurt n the floor.

Xot less thaii deaths are reported,' while the number injured cannot be estima ted, j The damage to railroads- and telegraph .lines prevent the accu mulation of details. Xo.-estimate can ;be made of the loss. In a number of instances there is an en tire loss of farm houses and resi dences, cattle and produce. The dead and wounded are being look ed after and everything done pos sible. ' At; Cook's plantation," on .Bigdee river, Miss., nearly every house was demolished. At Crosssing river 14 houses were - destroyed oii Dan Hutchinson's plantation, but no iveslost. At Catelonia 12 miles north of Columbus the storm seems to have concentrated its fury, Every fence for in iles was blown away, and trees carried before the wind like chaff. Many'' bouses were torn to pieces. Jack Stevens an estimable young man, w as bend ing over his wife to allay her fears, when he was struck on the head by a falling beam and insta-nty killed. An Aberdeen, Mississpi.i, special says a most terrific -cyclone passed over that portion of the citVjknowii as Ereedman's Town at noon yesterday, , destroying much property and cattle. Eight or ten lives were. iosi. vooiu nny per sons were injured, mostly negroes some of whom will probably die. The! storm track is about three hundred yards wide, and the di rection southwest to Xorth west. At Starksville, Miss., the des truction of property was appalling but the loss of lives comparatively small. Dwellings, gin houses and trains were swept -aw ay, , and iu every instance seauereu -im-ioic the wind. Reports of destruction and distress continue to come in. Five or ten lives, were, lost in this neighliorhood. At a colored church a ngro was taken bodily up, and the 'last seen of him he was. far aliove the earth 'wildly Ideating the air as if seeking for something to j stay his progress. A Columbia, MiKs., sin-cial says: The heaviest fail of rain ever known in the prairies fell yester day nine miles southwest of this: town, injuring corn ami washing away fields of cotton. Accompa nying fhe rain was a terrible wind from the southeast taking a north east course. It struck and com pletely destroyed all the negro cabns, corncribs and stables on Mr. Dubois' place, three miles west of Tibbe Nation, injuring badly Wm. Jordan and wife and killing and maiming all the mules and cattle. At Waverly, .seven miles distant, Major Young's steam gin, mill, cotton press residence and many of his cabins' were burled to the' ground. The plantations of Drs. Strong arid Matthews and Dr. John Cook were rained. At Cal- --NUMBER 15 edonia John Stephenson and a lady name unknown, were killed. An other lady was seriously injured. The country in these neighbor hoods is blockaded with fallen trees, and there is a feeling that greater damage has been done, but not yet reported, the heavens were full of leaves ami pine burs in the prairies fifteen miles from any pine trees. Hinging in Hyde. A story reached the citvlast night that a colored man had been bung by his wife and another neero man in Hyde county under the fol lowing circumstances: The wife entered into a conspiracy with this man to get rid of her husband, and fixed a rope through the upper floor of the house while the husband was absent, and when he returned home the wife met him at the door and decoyed him under the hole while the man on the upper floor dropped I the noose over his head; then the wife held her husbands hands and he pulled the, rope. Then they took him down and dragged him off, covered him up for dead. When they had left the old fellow, like Siudbad the sailor, scratched out. The guilty parties hearing of his resurrection fled to Pamlico county where they were arrested and put in jail. Thisis the rumor as told by a Pamlico man last night. J nr. ual. - . Care For Hog Cholera. The Lewistou Qazette, published in Fulton - county, III , contains the following: Every paper in tho United States ought occasionally to keep the fact before its readers that burnt corn is a certain and speedy cure for hog cholera. The best way is to take a pile of corn on tho cobs, effectual ly scorch it and then give tlie affec ted hogs free access to it. This remedy was discovered by E. E. Lock at the time his distillery in this county was burned, together with a large lot of store com, which was so much injured as to be unfit for use, and was hauld out and greedily eaten by tho hogs, several ofyvhich- were dying daily.'-- Alter the second day not a single hog was lost, and the disease entirely conquered. The remedy has lieen tried in a number of cases since, and never failed. Convincing Proof. ":'- 1 ' -' -1 Does cotton manufacturing in the South pay! Emphatically yes The proof: . The annual report of the Gran- iteville Cotton Manufacturing Com pany, at, Augusta, Ga., for the year just closed, shows that the eompa ny earned 21 per cent ,. on its capi tal, after paying all neussary ex penses and the interest on its lionded debt. The past has lieen regarded as an unfavorable year for profits, in cotton 'manufacturing. and the Graniteville stockholders think they have had hard luck, be cause last year the mill earned ;irt per cent., and 21 per cent., is re- gartred as-a minimuii result. But it is questionable whether any cot ton mill iu new England can show as equally satisfactory results for tlie past - year During the year the . Graniteville inill consumed 1.1.500 bales of .'cotton, aud this amount of raw material was turned info altont !S,000,fJ00 yards ol cloth.! The increase was C"0,iM)0 yards over the product of the pre vious year. For Pocket Khives or table Cut lery, go to Jacobi's Hardware l)eKt. Wilmington N.C Romantic.

DIVORCED. :o:- DiVORCED AFTER FOUR YEARS OF MARRIED LIFE. MA RItl Eli Til E COA t II MA X. The sequel to the elopement of Miss Xellie Hubbard, the youngest daughter of ex Gov. Hubbard,' and her marriage to her father's coach man, Frederick Shepard, four years ago, has just lieeii mude known to her friend' here, who learned for the first time to day that Mrs. Shepard had secured a divorce from her hits band. - ' He was a young' fellow of good-1 d:mii5V " Irink or swear, but lie was i very illiter ate;' Miss Xellie, then iilniut 18 years old, undertook to teach him to read ami write, and while engaged in this laudable effort, to benefit his condition, she lost, or imagined that she lout her heart." The fact of the marriage was not in ado known to cx-Gov. Hubbard until eleven, days after tho ceremo ny, when the marriage ceititlcrtte was sent to himby Ttho groom's parents. His daughter was prepar ing to leave the house to join her husband when this document was placed in his hands. The heart broken father confronted her with the certificate, and she then can- didlv acknowledged that she was married to Shepard, djiclared with the enthusiasm ot a woman in love that her husband was fully worthy ol her, and loft t he house to join him, despite the attempts of the grief-stricken father, to re train her. From that time to lhi Nellie's name, it is said, lias boon a forbidden word in the household of ex-Gov. Hubbard. The old gen tleman disowned the girl, yl o had hitherto Im'Cii his-favorite child, and positively refused to receive any communication from either her or her husband. After the sensation created by her marriage hail died away Mrs?. Shepard fell quietly out of sight of her former aristocratic friend. ud she would have lieeii almost, for gotten but for her proceedings to secure a divorce, which, have once more revived the memory of her romantic marriage. Aftef the wedding the couple re mained u this city for about two years, Shepard receiving a clerk ship in a Hartford shoe store, w here he worked faithfully. His young wife had plenty or money at this time, some that was hers in her own right; and -more, it is said, from fhe ready purses of her heart broken mother, whor while bowing meekly to the will of her husband Could not, suppress all love for he' darling child. The couple lived very happily for. -a time, ' and a child was Ihiiii to them, a girl, to cement their union. About two years ago they removed to Xew Haven, ivhere Shepard started a large liver' stable in State utreet with money furnished by hi wife and her friends. The stable is connected with a huge hotel, and yields quiUJ a revenue io niicpam, who U still running if. . .?- They engaged a cozy cottage iu a-pleaaut street, ami here for a time all went well. But Cie domes tic jx'ace was to Ik? scattered in Xew Haven. Mrs. Shepard ! came tired of her unlettered hu band, and they licgati to find that their tastes in almost everything ran in counter directions. Sht-pard attended Vtrictly to his business and Mrs. -Shepard who was not received with ojhmi arins by Xew Haven society,! showed her win-, tempt of the..-fashionable woi M, of which she had foniieily Im-cii a lielle, by purchaning a dog cut and a handsome iony, with which she apjieared in the streets, eleg.mtly attired, on every icisant d.iy. The beautiful woman iturallv attracted admirers, and among them one is said to Is an. aged and wealth' manufacturer of Xew Haven, aud another a millionaire of New lork, who frequent Hie Turf Club in that city. Shepard became jealous of hi wife, w ith or without rausf't and the result was that the two separated several mouths ago, aud have not lived together since. irs. SbepardV lawyer in mov ing for the divorce was I. X. lily deuburg, who figured an eoum-l for the Malleylroy id their trial for the murder of Jennie Cramer. The cause for which the divorce wts granted is said to le abandon ment, Shepard making no, counter charges. Great efforts liave been made to keep the fact that a di vorce has been granted secret in Connecticut, tbe lawyers and judges doing all in their power to conceal the record from, the public. It Ls thought by some that 3Irf. Shepard, having disembarrassed Herself of ber plebeian husband, will be welcomed back to her father's house, but tbe general opinion is that ex-Gov Hubbard wili never recall tbe denunciation which be pronounced against his daughter frmr Years aeo.
