The bride was therefore snatched froin the arms of her husband, taken to the home of her committee, and kept there. The husband was denied the premises and warned to keep away. For the time being he left the vicinity, but still used all manner of devices to communicate with his divorced wife. After failing in a variety of attempts he at last placed himself in communication with and received letters from her. She told him that her love for him was as strong as ever, and that if she could arrange an escape she would leave the country with him forever. MAJUftlAGES OF GREAT MEN DR1CK YARD. I ) JOBEPH P.

A large number of witnesses on both sides were present, but their testimony was not heard the case being disposed of on the legal points raised. Messrs. Kalston and Young, on behalf of the relator, cited the order of the Coutt endorsed upon the proceedings in lunacy, in which Mr. Funk was designated as the committee of Mrs. Barto, without setting forth that his authority was to extend as well over her person as her estate, and contended that as a distinction was recognized by the act of Assembly the order must be construed in favor of her personal liberty. Messrs. IX and J. Is. Ermentrout, for the respondent, argued that the order covered both, and could not be defeated for mere want of formality. The courts decided that Mary aud her estates were under the control of her committee, and that the Itev. Mr. Herman should have nothing to do with her. This decision rendered, the helpless woman sobbed, and rushing to a female friend hung about her neck and kissed her. One of the counsel exclaimed as she did so that it wits every evideut from her actions that she was as crazy as a loon.

But he was unhappy last Friday night.. The weather was cold you will perhaps recollect. After Dopnelganger got into bed, there was a ring at his door-bell. He thought it *vas his son i » had forgotten his deadlatch key, and so, liKe the old man he is, Doppelganger went down, "with nothing on but his night-shirt, to let the young man in. When he opened the door no one was there, and Doppelganger stepped outside to ascertain if he could see any pne near. Just as he did so, the wind banged the door to with a slam, and as it clos'-d it caught Doppelganger's night-shirt in it and held him fast. He laughed at first and tried to jerk himself loose ; but the muslin wouldn't slip. Then he thought he would pull the bell ; but it was on the other side of the wide doorway, and he found to his consternation that he couldn't reach it. It occurred to him that he might slip out of the shirt, ring the bell and then get back again. Justas he had gotten half-way out, he thought he heard some one coining down the street, and in a frenzy of fear he tried to get into the garment again ; and when he succeeded he found he had the shirt on backward, and that nobody was coming after all. By this time he felt as if he was sitting in a refrigerator on an iceberg at the North Pole, and the air became colder every minute. Then he determined to cry for help. At the very first yell, the dog in the yard across the street flew over and barked and seemed to have a yearning to ascertain the taste of Doppelgaliter's frozen legs. And  only kick at it backward. But he couiinued toscream for help, and iu a few minutes all the windows iu the row were up, Mrs. Doppelganger's included. The wife of the unfortunate man would spring her rattle, so that his cries could not be heard, and not until a policeman came up ami tore Doppelgangfer loose, did she comprehend the situation. He has now •enough rheumatism in him tolast.over to 1875, besides a cold in the head of the most terrific character. He will hold that door open after this when he goes down at night.—Max Adder.
