Tbe morning was gloriously, radl aJtifly boautjfal, but Mrs. Tubbs was lo no raeod to appreciate It. 6he walked apMly past blooming gardens, and Bjareely heeded tbe oarel of the birds. In4tle while she turped herfootsteiw totraiti' a. pa; row street where stood a long tow of low, dingy buildings, with 'eieeas inside tbe'-open doors, and fkreaaa f nieu lounging on benches iu Mrr -t. - .a xcahtlfcd the faces of the first VOI.TJ3HI3 IX. group eagerly for an Instant, flashed ber eyes up and down the sidewalk hur riedly, and then, to the eerpriee and hu miliation of every spectator, walked firmly into the first saImii. The proprietor, who was evidently half asleep, stood behind the oouuter rinsing glasses and mopping tbe boards before hi til with a towel. I "What can I do for you, madam V he asked, sheepishly. "I, sir. am locking for Mr. Peter Tubbs." "Didn't you bear that lie bad sklfiped tbe country V "I did ; bat I didn't believe It, and I don't believe Where 1 her "How should I know where be Is?" "That, sir, is your question, and you are tiie one to answer it. I came here to search for l'eter Tobbs, and I'll Mud bim, too, If I have to smoke out with fire-brands every rat-hole la tbie abomi nable row of sink-holes !" "Have you a search-warrant, mad am?" "No. How could I get out a search warrant ? I'm only a married woman. I eannot act independently of my hus- Itand in anything ; that is, according to tbe laws of men." "Then you're out of luck." "I koow It." Mrs. Tubus held her breath as much as iiossible, to stop the borrit! stenches that greeted ber, as tbe commingled fumes ' of beer, wbinky, rum, gin and tobacco smoke confronted her sensitive olfactories. I Spying a door in tbe rear of tbe sa loon, she oiened it, ami, despite the pro prietor's remonstrance, passed into a sort of shed that hat been built as an addition lo the groggery. On eots here and there, and occasionally on blankets upou tbe floor, lay the stupefied victims of the last night's orgies. Mrs. Tubbn, intent only upon finding the one of these besotted sovereigns who claimed and owned her, at last discov ered ber husband lying insensible 111 a corner, and anoriug away tbe effects of his debauch in an appalling stupor. She knelt upon the filthy floor beside tlte bed ami struggled hard to a route him. She called lor brandy, wbieb sbe poured into his mouth, and for alcohol with which to chafe bis eokl and rigid limbs. After long and vigorous rub- biog, be gave a little sign of awakeuing, and presently startled tbe crowd that had entered tbe room and were gaxing idly upou tbe scene by giving vent to a loud, agonising groan. "Will some one order a team from tbe livery stabje?" svked tbe poor wife, anxiously. j No ooe responded. "I would go and attend to it myself, but I -dare not leave bim for au Instant. Won't somebody please to go?" she asked, tdteously. A caiu there was no answer. "Very well, then, gentlemen I sup pose you claim tbe title, though I am compelled to say I can't see that it Is applicable if none of you will go to tbe stable for me, and I cannot leave my suffering ehaige to go myself, I will stay here. I can staud it as long as you can." With this remark, she sat down on a cot near ber husband, and seemed loet to her snrronndings aud all else save his neceseitie. "Some of you'd better go for a horse and buggy," said tbe proprietor of tbe plaee, aside. "Who'll put up for the expense?" asked an individual, who was recognized by Mrs. Tubbs as one of the oeeupante of the hotel parlor on the previous even ing. "I will!" she exclaimed, emphatic ally. "Aud I'll pay you for going after the team In the bargain. I'm not afraid of auy of you, for I am wide awake and daly sober. But I am afraid to leave my lord and master here without any protection, and I won't do it." If we'd start iu to say the worst we could tbink of, we 900a scare her ont 1" tid one fellow, who approached her with a swaggering air. "Let women keep their places," he added, "if they expect ue to respect them." "The respect of such as you is well worth neglecting one's interests for, truly ! said Mrs. Tubbs. "Of course I cannot expect you to respect me when you rail to respect yourselves. A gen tleman will not Insult a lady, and a dog cannot !" Jodge Orlando, who had finished his breakfast and indulged iu a smoke, and was wholly unconscious of the allalr that was going on belli ml the screen, entered the sahtou and ordered a drink. "Have you seen the slie-Uger that was arouod at tbe hotel last night hunt ing her husband, or pretending to ?" he asked, blandly, while tbe barkeeper was mixing bis toddy. That functionary siu h,9 beg(i winked, warntngty. "Tubbs bas been In a stupor all the morning, sir. His wife came iu a while ago to 'tend him, and is getting ready to take him home." "And she'll epoll our plans, by tbuu- ueri - saw jolin Hardine, who, with Jouge iiardpan, had also entered, un perceiveu uy juuge Orlando. "Botheration take the women, any how !" said Judge Hardpan, speaking lu a low tone. "The very Old Harry's got Into 'em nowadays. They never u&ed to give tbe men so much trouble."

Caleb my wife troublin' her self about ray a (In Ira I Not much I If I take a notion to get drunk, I'll get drank !" "Small danger that you'll ever get druuk, unless somebody puts up the coin for expense," said Judge Orlando, giving the complimented man a friendly slap on Ute shoulder as he spoke. "TaauK you, Judge. You no me proud. If there's anything I do pride myself on, it's looking out for the dimes ami quarters." "And estates!'' said Judge Hardpan, dryly. A team was now waiting at the door, aud Mrs. Tubbs succeeded after much eilort Iu arousing her husband sufit ciently to get him luto tbe wagon. "I found a farmer wbo waH going right by your place, ami he'll take your husband home, aud no charges," tbe messengsr had said, when he returned. Mrs. Tubbs gladly recognized in tbe accommodating farmer her new friend, John Smith, and gratefully accepted his assistance. "We'll go by the hotel and settle my bill ami get my horse Reuben, and I'll lead hi in home behind the wagon," she said, cheerfully. But tlte honte bad disappeared as mysteriously as had John Ingletou's borse In tbe long ago. After much ef fort the landlord was found, who blun deringly explained that a writ of re plevin had been issued an hour In-fore by order of John Hardine, ami the horse had been given Into his custody. For an Instant this new revelation disturbed tbe equanimity of 'Uze afreh. But there was no lime lo be lost lu the preseot crisis, and she was compelled lo dismiss the matter as beat sbe could Irom her thought. Peter Tubbs lay lu tbe bottom of tbe I tanners wagon In a drunken etujior, fioni which he was not again aroard until they reached his home. On tbe way thither, and when they had accomplished half the distance, they were met by Israel Sappington, wbo was armed with tbe writ wbieb Mrs. Tubbs had previously evaded. As deputy sheriff, this worthy now served the summons, or attempted to serve it. But Mrs. l'eter Tubbs would not receive it, and in the presence of her husband could not be compelled to do so, as she could only represent him legally when he was not present. And there he lay, prostrate aud stupefta), and altogether unable to represent himself, much less tbe woman whom he bad vowed before high heaven to love, protect and cher ish till death should part them. "Drive 00, Mr. Smith," said Mrs. Tubbs. "There Is no one here to whom tbe writ Is applicable." "But you are placing me In au awk ward position, Mrs. Tubbs," growled the officer of the law. "It rejoices me to hear it, sir. Like John Brown, whose soul goes marching on, you know, I am resolved to take no action for which a sovereign State, In its capacity of ruler, cau be responsible. Men make the laws witlmut tbe aid of women. Let them execute them with out their assistance if they can." "I declare, Mrs. Tubbs, you do beat all natur I" said the farmer, admiringly, as the discomfited officer rode away ; aud 'Llze, ouee more feeling that she had compelled somebody to accept a practical illustration of her Individual ity, laughed after him derisively. Once at home, the protected woman began the practice of every art of which she could conceive to restore her lawful head to consciousness. Dave, the oracle, was dispatched to the nearest drug store for restoratives, and a hot bath soon qulekened the dormant circulation, which had been well ulgli cheeked for ever through the ellects of tbe deadly drugs which site knew had been used to benumb and stupefy her lord by tbe self-interested parties who had used him as a eat's-iaw in securing her money. For several days the drugged and robbed protector lay In a state of apa thetic iudlllereDce. But reason gradu ally regained Its former bold upon its faculties, and by the strong will of his wife he was induced to lend both signa ture and sanction to her endeavor to se cure an appeal from ttie decision 01 Judge Orlando to the District Court. A year rolled away, and the decree of the lower Court was reversed. It was now John Hardlne's turn to resort to au appeal, this time to the Su preme Court of tbe Stale, whieh, as Farmer Smith had predicted, bad been created by the Governor, iu spile of the well-known Constitutional fiat to the contrary. And, by a singular concourse of circumstances, it also transpired that Judge Hardpan was made the senior member of that same fraudulent Court; : and that, too, after he had served as at torney for John Hardine iu that same ease for a round sum iu gold, backed by "body could tell how heavy a contin gent fee.

"I shall never forget the first time I saw General Grfiejd," a distinguished gentleman recently said to a representa tive of tbe CiBcinuali Gazelle. "It was the morning after President Lincoln's assassination. Tbe country was excited to its utmost touslon, and New York City seemed ready for tlio scenes of the French revolution. Tbo intelligence of Lincoln's murder had been Hashed by the wires over the whole land. The newspaper headings of the transaction were set up In tbe largest type, and the high crime was on overyoue's tongue. Fear took possession of men's mluds as to tbe fate of the Government, for lu a few hours news came on that Seward's throat was cut, and that attempts had been mad on the lives ol others of the Government's officers. Posters were stuck up everywhere in great black letters, calling upou the loyal citizens of New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City and neighboring places to meet around tbe Wall-street Exeliaugeaud give ex pression to their sentiments. It was a dark and terrible hour. What might come next no one could tell. Men spoke with abated breath. The wruth of tbe wnrkingmen was elm ply uncon trollable, anil revolvers aud knives were in the hands of thousands of Lincoln's friends, ready at the first opportunity to take the law luto their own hands and avenge the death nf the martyred Presi dent upon any and all who dared to utter a word against bim. Eleven o'clock a. m. was the hour set for the rendezvous. Fifty thousand people crowded around the Exchange building, cramming aud jamming in the streets, ami wedged In tight as men could staud together. "Willi a few to whm a special favor was eiitended, I went over from Brook lyn at 9 a. x , and even then with the utmost dlftieulty fotiod way lo the re ception-room for tbo speakers in tbe frout of tbe Exchange building ami looking out on to the high aud massive balcony, whose front was protected by a heavy iron railing. We sat in sol emnity and ellenc, walllug for General Butler, wbo, it was announced, had started from Washington, ami was either already in the oity or expected 1 every minute. Not a hurrah was beanl, but for the most part dead silence, or a deep ami ominous muttering ran like a rising wave up the street toward Broad way, and again down toward the river on tbe tight. At length the' batons of! the toliee were seen swinging in the I air, far up on the left, parting the crowd and pressing it back to make way for a carriage that mo veil slowly, and with difficult jog, through the compact multitude. Suddenly the silence was broken, aud theory of 'Butler! Butler!' rang out wltii tremendous and thrilling effect, aud was taken up by the. people. But not a hurrah! Not one! Il was the ery of a great people, asking to know bow their President died. The blood bounced in our veins, and the tears ran like streams down our faces. How it was done, I forget; hut Butler was pulled through, and pulled up, and eutered the room, where wu had just' walked back to meet him. A broad crape, a yard long, huug from his left arm terrible contrast with the count less Hags that were waving the nation's victory In the breeze. We first realized then the truth of the sad news that Lin coln was dead. The only word Butler had for us all at the first break of the sileure was: 'Gentlemen, he died in the fulluess of his fame!' aud as he spoke it his Hps quivered and the tears ran fast down his cheeks. "Then, after a few moments, came the speaking. Aud you cau imagine the effect as the crape fluttered in the wind while his arm was uplifted. Dickinoon of New York was fairly wild. The old man leaped over tho iron railing of the balcony aud stood on the very edge nvei hanging the crowd, gesticulating in the most vehement manner, aud next thing to bidding the crowd 'burn up the rebel seed, root aud branch,' while a by stander held on to his coat-tails to keep bim from falling over. "By this time the wave of popular In dignation bad swelled to Ita crest. Two men lay bleeding on one of the side streets, the one dead, the other uext to dying; one on the pavement, the other in the gutter. They had said, a minute before, that 'Lincoln ought to have been shot long ago.' They were not allowed to say it again ! "Soon two long pieces of scantling stood out above the heads of the crowd, crossed at the top like the letter X, and a looped halter pendaut from the junc tion, a dozen men following Its slow motion through the masses, white 'Vengeauce' was the cry. On the right suddenly arose the shout, The World r The World' The office of the H'orW." aud a movement of perhaps B.OOOor 10,000 turning their faces in the direction of that bulidinc began to be executed. It was a critical moment. What might come, no one could tell, did that crowd get In front of that office. Police or military would have availed little or been too late. A telegram had just been received from Washington, 'Seward Is dying.' "Just then, at that juncture, a man stepped forward with a small flag In his hand, and beckoned to the crowd. 'An other telegram from Washington.' And then, In the awful stillness of the crisis, taking advantage of the hesitation of AUGUST O, 1SSO. the crowd, whose steps had been arrest ed a moment, a right orm was lifted skyward, and a voice, clear and steady, loud and distinct, spoke out : " 'Fellow citizens ! Clouds and dark ness are round about Him ! His pavi! Ion is dark waters and thick clouds of the skies! Justice and judgment are the establishment of His throne ! Merey and truth shall go before His face ! Fellow citizens, God reigns, and the Government at Washington still lives!' "The effect was tremendous. The crowd stood riveted to the ground in awe, gaziug at the motionless orator, and thluking of God aud the security of the Government in that hour. As the boiling wave subsides and settles to the sea wheu the strong wind beats it down, so the tumult of the people sank and leenme still. All took It as a Divine onieu. It was a triumph of eloquence, inspired by the moment, such as falls to hut one man's lot, aud that hut once In a century. The genius of Webster, Cboate, Everett or Seward never reached it. Demosthenes uever equalled it. What might have happened bad the surging and maddened mob been let loose, none can tell. The man for the crisis was on the spot, more potent than Napoleou's guns at Paris. I inquired his name. The answer came, In a low whisper, 'It Is General Garfield of Ohio. " THE 0OL0EEDQIBL IN BLUE. Catharine Hill, the colored wnmau iu Philadelphia who has made an applica tion for a pension on the ground of hav Ing served in the army during the late war, and for wounds received in battle, tells a most remarkable story. She claims to have enlisted In the Fifth Maryland Regiment under the name of Henry Williams, and was passed by two surgeons, to whom she paid $150 lo say nothing about her sex. She is thirty two years of age, aud yet claims to have served three years 011 the field anil seven months in hospitals. Sbe was wounded four times, once in tbe face 1 11 a battle In Virginia, and was shut iu the thigh ! ami ribs in a skirmish near Newbern, North Carolina. While Iu a hoepitul ber sex was dieeovered, but the physi cian who attended her kept the secret, and at tbe close of the war she was hon orably discharged. Site claims to be able to substantiate ber story by her discbarge fiers, ami says that prior to entering the army she had passed a ruedical exuminutlon at the hands of Drs. Creek and Perry, of Baltimore. Caplaiu Woodville commanded her company, while Colonel Frish com manded tbe regiment. She was mus tered iu at Camp Belger, remained there six weeks, whon with others she was mustered out and sent to Fortress Monroe, where she stayed five months, and then was mustered nut again and sent to Halifax, Va., aud from there, after fighting a battle, went to Kaleigh, N. C. Dr. Wood, of Twentieth and Wood streets, Philadelphia, she says, has her discharge. She named mauy of her old comrades, among them Captain West, of Bikerslreet, aud II eddy, Clark, Johnston, Griffin and Joyce, all of B till more. GENERAL HANOOOK'S WIFE. Mrs. Hancock, the wife of the Gen eral, is a few years his junior In age, and as a wnmau is as imposing in ap pearance as he is as a man. Tall and well proportioned, with a most winsome smile, a mauuer that puts you at your ease at onee, and a pair of eyes that ani mate every line of a handsome face, she Is still a beauty, although her hair is streaked with ,ray. She was married when the General was hut a young Lieutenant doing duty iu the far West. It was eutirely a love match, aud neither of them has since regretted it; iu fact, their home Is one of the happiest imaginable. Mrs. Hancock has always been opposed to her husband's becoming a caudldato for the Presidency. She is even above the weakness of wishing to be mistress of the White House. She dreads the worry of the canvass, and if her husband is elected she thinks that the honor which tbe positlou brings will be dearly purchased by the renuti cialion of all domestic life for four years to come and of his position as senior Major General and his chances of soon becoming chief of the army. While she prefers her own borne exlsteuce, how- aver, there is no one better qualified to play the hostess ou a grand scale than she. A society belle, even after ber marriage, she has all the self-confidence and resources needed to eutertain the most varied company. There is notli ing in tiie range of conversation about which she does uot know something. Her greatest charm, however, Is the art of making every individual feel as if he were the one sole object of ber atten tion. Memphis rejoices over the completion of ber sewerage system. Within three mouths and a balf, twenty and a half miles of eewerage pipes aud thirty miles of subsoil drain pipes have been put down, and beneficial results are al ready discernible.

New York, July 17, 1880. TO T1IK KOITOK OP THE XlW 2ioRTHWEST : The dramatic seasou of 18S0 and 1881 promises to be a remarkable one in the history of the stage. The announce ments that are already made comprise nearly three hundred theatrical com binations. The principal event, how ever, will be tbe appearance of Mile. Sara Bernhardt at Booth's Theater, un der the management of Henry B. Ab bey. The play in which she will first appear is not yet announced. The par ticulars of this engagement have been repeatedly published, but each publica tion has dltlertd as to the terms of con tract between the star and tbe manager. However, there is little doubt that the report current among actors and mana gers about the matter is correct. Ac cording to this, Mile. Bernhardt is to receive one-third of the gross receipts, which Mr. Abbey guarantees shall not he less than $500 per night. The mana ger also allows her a certain sum for ho tel .'expenses, etc., and furnishes the company, and all local expenses. Mile. Bernhardt is to commence her engagement-In this oity on the Slh of Novem ber, and continue for four weeks. Pre vious to this, however, sue will appear iu Boston. The lax list of tbe city of New York for 1S80, as 'finally passed upon by the Board of Supervisors, shows an Increase of $24,487,310 In real estate, and $25,- 259,082 iu personal valuations. This gnttlfying'exhlblt isdue to three causes: the general revival of business aotivity, which encourages investment lu new enterprises; the rapid and successful de velopment of the elevated railroad sys tem; and the return of citizens bmisbed for years postTtlirough want of proper facilities of travel, who are .attracted by the comforts and luxuries of metropoli tan life. The growth of population In the upper wards, mauy of which have remained ulin; inaccessible for a Ioog term of years, bas been revealed by tbe new ceusud rttu-ns, aud the figures of the tax levy show that the greatest in crease in taxable value has taken pt&cdl in those localities during tbe last ynr.

"Every one for himself," she says was his brutal answer, aud immediately jumped overboard, leaving her to care eutirely for herself. Mr. D.iua swam for the shore, whitih he soon reached without difficulty; and Miss Ward was finally saved, altera very hard struggle, through the help of another woman and a boatsman. who partially corroborate her statement.

Professor Tlce, tho well-known weath er prophet and scientist of St. Louis, has recently advanced a new and re markable theory of the cause oroyclones, which, coming rrom so eminent a source, will flud many supporters. Defining cyclones as the generic name for all storms that have a rotary motion arouiid an axis, 6ueh as whirl winds, tornadoes, water-spouts and hur ricauef, tbe Professor calls attention to certain marked peculiarities of storms of this uature which have receully dev astated portions of the East. Among the most notable facts Is the affinity which tbe tornado seems to have for metallic substances, frequently passing over shingled buildings to expend its fury upon one covered with a tin roof.
