Several weeks ago a remarkably beau tiful model was posing before the "life class" of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington. She as all the models are, was provided with a mask to hide her identity. She, was posing as "Psyche" wnen suddenly sne ten torward in a faint. Her mask flew off, and the stu dent recognized the features as those of the widow of an ex-General in the Union army. She is possessed of a large fortune, but her vanity about her spledid figure induced her to appear as a moaei. The latest novelty in the building line, says a London letter, and one that seems to top all others "before or since. is Mr. Sassoon's whim of constructing a stable on the top of his housej ust built in Belgrave square. Ground is. of course, very valuable in this aristocrat ic locality, and is a matter of consider ation to a man or even Mr. Sassoon s wealth, and a double purpose is achiev ed by puttiug the horses up-stairs. The smell ofstables is avoided. So far the experiment has succeeded admirably. rne horses are hoisted ud to their skv- parlorina shutterclosed lift, and do not seem to object-in the least to their novel move of ascent.

A Washington paper prints the fol lowing, which the friends of the Star route gentlemen claim represents the uorsey and ijrady side or the story about the letter from the President in regard to raising funds : After the government clerks, mes sengers, scrub-women and common la borers had been assessed three times, and tne money wa nearly all spent, congressman nuDDeii bethought him sell of the Star mail contracts, and with the industry and sagacity for which he was noted, made his way to the office of the Second Assistant Post master General, Brady, and laid the case before him. The committee want ed money. All branches of the public service had been tapped but the mail contractors, and the demand for soap was still urgent. Indiana had to be bought, and the army of negro colonists and black and white ballot box stuffers, precinct workers, detectives, clerks. stump speakers, and special agents, supported for nearly two months. Bra dy knew who could afford to be tapped, anajust now mucn 01 a dram they could stand, and consequently Mr. Hubbell expected him to co-operate with him immediately and efficiently. To his great surprise Gen. Bradv re fused to comply with his request. Hub bell urged and Brady consented to act, provided the President, Mr. Hayes, au thorized him to do so in writing. This Mr. Hayes declined to do. The method was too notoriously illegal, . Gen. Bra dy was again appealed to. and again refused ta act, either directly or indi rectly. The pressure grew stronsrer as the need for money became more ur gent, and it was at last agreed that if he candidate, Garfield, would write to mm (rady) to do so, he would in some roundabout way undertake the job. The amount required, or at least ex pected, was $25,000, although at one time $40,000 was the figure contem plated. lhe next step was to induce candi date Garfield to make the request, and accordingly a letter was written him by Congressman Hubbell, in which he informed him that if he asked General Brad in writing to raise the money required, or any part of it. out of his department, the request would be ac ceded to. Gen. Garfield held the matter under advisement for a few davs. and when the actieg chairman. Dorsev. next vis ited him at Mentor, laid it before him and asked his opinion. Dorsey's opinion, as now reported, was that it was a dan gerous proceeding, and hence, instead of writing to Brady, as . Hubbell ad vised, the result was that Gen. Garfield indited and sent to Hubbell the letter that yesterday was made public for the first time. Divorces in Georgia. . Columbus Timef. We have more than once adverted in these columns to the rapid increase of divorces among the people of Ne WOEng gland, amountinglast year if we remem ber rightly to over ten per cent of the marriages, in tne states of Connecticut and Massachusetts, and to a still larger per cent in Maine. But, unless our own people improve in their ways, we shall not have occasion to go to New Encland to find texts for lectures upon the laxi ty of matrimonial obligations. The dockets of our own courts are begining to show an alarming increase in such cases, and while many of the parties are negroes, the fact is scarcely less deplor able, for as we are to have these people among us, it is best that they, as well as the whites, should live faithful to their marriage vows. We notice in a late Atlanta Constitution that a list of 31 couples, is published, who are apply ing for divorces. We are sorry to see these things. It ought not so to be.
