Divia abuHtid this privilege by getting drunk at once, aud while in tlmt condit ion bad both legs cutoff by a locomotive. Mrs. D.ivin got a verdict nl ST.COO gainst l)nylx, and the Supreme Court bas con firmed it. Suits with similar results are constantly being brought in numerous Slats under citil damage liws which sra suDktanti.illy aliko in their prows i an. Mm Benisov, of PliibuUIpbi.i, proie cuted Thomas Craig for breach or pron I sc. and be pleaded guilty, ncrepting n sentence of six uiontlis' imprisonment with penitence and resignation. The plaintiff was a seemingly devout church member, and bad made ont a pitiable case. Bat just when Craig was ubont to be taken to the penitentiary Jumes .John son rams forward with a charge that Miss lieuison bad treated him worse in love aff lira than the prisoner bad served ber. Hit prodnca.1 a bundle of ber let- tera, which proved that her character . was tbe reverse of what alio bad made it appear in court. Tbe Judge reopened Craig's oase aud discharged him. Dukes, who has been on trial during tbe week, at Uuioutown, for tbo murder of Nutt, was acquitted by the jury on Wednesday night The verdict is an outrage on justice, and is most justly condetnued by tbo Philadelphia Times, in tbo following words: "It is difficult to jipeak with moderation of the acquittal .of Dukce. It is a disgrace not alone to tbe people of TJuiontown, but to tbe Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There -was a reasonable doubt of tbe fellow's guilt of wilful murder, as technically de fined; but that he bad murder in bis heart toward bis victim, whom be killed jn tbo pursuance of a deliberate plan ol erime, does not admit of question, aud the jurymen have dishonored tbeir own manhood in holding him guiltless of tbe blood of Captain Nutt. Such n man as .Dukes is not fit to bo at large. We may question, indeed, whether there is a place on earth low enough to hold such a des picable villian. The creature that could deliberately write what he wrote of a girl who bad given herself to him, and that to the father of tbe girl, is worse) tbau a murderer. Language is not ade quate to express tbe contempt and loath ing which every man deserving tbe name zaust feel for him, and to bave such a vTretcb as this fully acquitted of bis crime, the murder of tbe man whom be bed so foully wronged, must make every American blush for tbe Tionor of bis na t ve land. We bnve cast slurs at the: people of the South because juries are said sometimes there allowed to let tbeir political prejudices influence them to connive at-crime. It Wus open ly charged when the jury was formed in the Dukes cise that it was made up of members of his own political household and therefore would not convict him.and tbe event has justified the charge. Can this.be trur? Can it be that In tbe State pf Pennsylvania to-day a politician can obtain immunity frtm the just penalties of u.iuie by bis political iLflueuce? It would be pleasun'.er not to believe this aud ai'.d one shame to another, aud yet this reproach "ill rest upon the juiy that acquitted Duki-s, Tlie iiidiguation of the ciliz.iiis of Uuiontou is natural and roper. Tbiy will gain notbirg by law lessness, and it may be iiuumed that tbe sober second thought of the people will put an end to tbe violent outbreak that disturbed tbo quiet to veil Weduesday uigbt. But tbey must, for tbeir ouu hftior, put themselves emphatically on record as discountenancing and denounc ing this iufamous verdict. By such no turn tu.-y may at least preserve tbe fair r-pu'aiiou of tbeir community, aud they can turn leave Dukes aud bis abettors to bear the punishment of Cain." WIDOWS RISES TO EXPLAItf. On Monday last Dr. Wiggins guve to the press tbe theory on which Le pre dicted tbe great storm which was to bate occurred from the 9lh to tbe 12th Inst., til which bo claims fulfilled Lis pre diction. Here is what be says himself: I "TbU storm satisfies me that tbe theo ry ot tbe opposite tide) which I advanced in 18(11, in correct, uaiuely, that it is caused by Ibe vibratory luotiou of the ociud troiu rasi to west, it you will look at a terrestrial globe and see tbe pecul iar posltlou of tbe Gulf of Mixico and th tendency of Cupe St. lloequu to fclti'ce northward, tbe tid.s moving west, you will not wonder at my alarm wuetu observing that the moon's forces bave beau increased to tbe greatest po. tilde extent, aud that, too, ubeusbels hastening with tbe other planets from south to north across tbe equator. This ng exactly tre condition ol things dur ing tbe storm, aud only ouo element was lacking to bave ruaae Ibis a terrible af fair for tbe peopld of America. For mark It wel", if the mopn's conjunction with th" sun bad taken place at 1 o'clock on the meridian of tiiudon, instead ol 1 o -( -lc iu the morning.

Prof. Wiggins Insists that bis prophecy lias been literally fulfilled, as tbe highest tidal wave over known was reported at Halifax, and telegrams bo received from all parts indicated a severe tempest. IIo fays ho has always entertained the great est anxiety for tbe safely of tbo people on tbe shores of the Bay of Bengal and Gulf of Mexico. In tbe former tbo mnjor tielal wave, of which the minor one on our coast was a reflection, musthavo oc curred on the afternoon of the lOtb, London time, hundreds of lives perish ing. He expressed great fears for the safety of the City of Chester, which ar rived at Halifax Monday, and character ired this storm as the greatest that can possibly occur on this planet, and tbe greatness of its extent is the only hope of safety In any particular quarter. Some people, bo said, expected an impossible storm, but be bad repe.itedly said that bis object In making tbe rritliellon nas for the safety of mariners, as no damage could possibly reenr on land except in tbe vicinity of the places named us being 3 i ..

Onaacspoi)ssT. Wasuikoton, D. C, March 10, 1883. A paluful impreKsion prevalla that the halcyon days of tbe dilapidated reminis cences of departed military, political and judicial gliry who have made the nation al Capital famous in years gone by arc past. They are less numerous now than nt any time since the war, though their familiar faces are to be seen yet in con siderable force iu and about the hotels a'ld the saloons on the avenue, and their sptcicswill never become extinct. There will alwas be 'JInjors" and "Colonels" aud "Judges" enough In existence to go around with some to spare for the com ing generation. They will always re' main a feature of Washington life. It is possible that Borne time in tbe dim past they may have been persons of real iru parlance and great men in their neigh b-uhoods. Some of them are gressioen who have served in the coun cils of tbe nation without distinction. When ungrateful constituencies turned hem out of office tbey preferred to stay here rather than return to tbeir people. Others came to Washington to be secre taries, ministers plenipotentiary to for eign courts, beads of departments, col lsstors of customs, and tbe like, and still nnotber class have been pursuing that soul destroying ignis fatnns a "claim' until their brains are ttirno I. The time was when tbey would have taken noth ing short of a million or a diplomatic position of tbebigbe.t imporlauce. Now a seat at tbe right hand of tbe President would not tempt them. Tbey know a belter and easier way of getting a liying and they take more solid satisfaction iu "working" a stranger, a new congress man, or a freshly lauded statesman for the drinks tbau tbey could possibly en joy In any other occupation iu life. They employ more diplomacy in lauding a cocktail than a man of business would brin to bis aid in the purchase of a year's stock of goods. Tbey are always inti mate friends of presidents, senators.mem liers, or distinguished army and navy officer, usially a brother or a cousin or a brother-in-law and none can cling so lovingly to stray lambs as tbey, or sur round longer drinks of "red linker." They bang their crooked cane on tbeir arms,and with tbeirabdomens up against a bar tbey adhere to that article of saloon furniture with tbe tenacity of barnacles to a ship's bottom. Tbey were more numerous during tbe teu or twelve years a ter the war than at any other period iu the history of the city, and of late years mtny of the most notable specimens have been taken to Abraham's bosom. How tbe "Majors" and tbe "Colonels" and the "Judges" live, none but tbey can tell. They are absolutely without means or credit and never do a stroke of work from one year's end to tbe other. They show np at tbeir haunts day after day with unfailing regularity, appearing as early iu tbe day as tbey think it will be potable to sponge a drink and slaying as lung as there is the remotest chance of being invited to take another "night cap." Where they sleep or get the clothes tbey wear, must forever remain a mystery. It is tbeir secret aud it would be barbarous to force them to divulge it. Fnoii ot'n Beoulau Correspondent, j Washington, D. C, March 12, 1853. With Cougrrss gone the Capitol build ing Is i dreary place, "like some batqiet ball desert -d.' As usual tbe closing scenes of the (ate session were suggestive of be il-etu or something worse. To an outsider who happeus in during these last hours or days it is a matter of perfect amaz-meut bow any business can be traustctedat all.'tbough a great deal is done. Everybody wrangles over every, tbiuj, and this yearns 117 men were leaviugthe legist itive balls never to re turn tbey naturally wanted to bave n cay or get through a pet bill. But with all tU . .1! I, f I "isurneir u is a good-natured crowd and becomes hilarious over the smallest attjmpt at wit. Mingled with the yelps of laughter ce me tbo sbouls of members who arj anxious to be beard. "Mr. bpeaker, I desire five minutes cnlv." "The gentleman from Wl-iconsiu will come to order," "For Ood's sake let me get through what I am saying," Mr. Speaker. I am not to be driven from this fl )or, "VoW Vote!" and a torrent of mo tions, amendments aud Heaven knows what. As fi'r submitting anything lotbe yeas and naes it has got to b.i almost an impossibility. The yeas ans'er vigor ously, but wheu it comes to tbe nays tbey bawl it out so loud that filly men cnnld readily be tuken for a hundred. Then comes tbe standing up and sittiug down to detertuiue tbe yeas and uays. Cries of Get up e verj bod) are ftflowed by "Sit down! sit down!'' and even then the tellers bave to be resorted to some times. Tbe only exhibitions of ill-bumor last Sunday morning came from the friends or the wblikey bill who stolidly refused (o lt any other measures come up out of order so long us their's could not; and tbe eight gentlemeu who vehe berqeutly shouted no to the rrsolutfou of thanks to Speaker Keifer. Ibe proverb that nothing evif kbnuld b spoken of the dead l pot .bry d hy tlic publlo or the press In commenting a )0U ti,e Forty-seventh Congress. Its shortcomings are raked up remorselessly, while tbe good that it did is lightly passed over. There Is, boweyer, room for something oommeudatory to be said of the Congress just expired. IU last days wore comparatively free from tbo passage of jobs and schemes such as loo frequently Mip through in the rush aud hurry preceding final adjournment. It is true thousands nt measures were per mitted to fall, but the .chances are that there was a great deal moro to be con demned than npproved In the lot. Some of the wisest statesmen maintain that too much legislation is a greater evil than too little, and upon this theory the course nf Congress In quietly allotting several thousand bills to go to tbo waste-basket is, iu fact, a benefit to the country. Among tbe lost bills are many of un doubted merit, such t3 tbe sblppiug bill; that to provide an intermediate ccurt for tba relief of the the United States Su preme Court, tbe educational bill, and others of like importance. Oue of tie most Serious omissions was tbo failure to enact a defluile law regulating tbe o ,unt of tbe tlectoral vote aud providing for the Presidential Micrcslon. Tbe next Congress will be divided betwern the two pirties, the Republicans controlling tbe Satiate and tbe Democrats the House; hence there is but little prospect that it will agree upon any law prescribing how Ibe electoral voles hhall be counted, and thus tbe country may be exposed to tbe danger of another complication and par tisan controversy over the decision ol the next Presidential election. Amid tbe babble and tumult of tbe closing scenes in tbe two Houses of Con press a thoughtful person might bave been moved with many serious reflec tions. Any one given to sentiment could bave fouud food for melting thoughts in the contemplation of Senator Ferry's va cant chair Sunday morning. Two mouths ago be was regarded as a very fortunate man. He was supposed to be a fixture in tbe Senate.bis re-election being looked upon as a certainty, and bis wealth was estimated at over a million. Two or three weeks later it became evident he would have tronble in securing a re-election, and a few days afterwards came the an nouncement that bis ricbes bad taken wings. Accumulated misfortunes pros trated bim, and on Sunday, while the last act of the Forty-seventh Congress was being played, be was lying on a bed of pain a few blocks distant, a physical as well as a financial wreck. His ab sence from tbe Senate, of which he bad been an honored member for twelve years, was scarcely noticed. He was not missed from bissiatby half a dozen of bis old associates. He bad not been in tbe chamber for weeks, and was well nigh forgotten. Sunday evening after the adjournment he left Washington, ac companied by bis sister and one or two devoted friends, perhaps neyer to return to the scene of all his former greatness How different his worldly aspect from that proud occasiou when at tbe.bead of his fellow-Senators, as tbe presiding of ficer of that body and the acting vi'ce Presldent, be marched into the jiint sea sion of tbe two Houses to preside over the proceedings of the electoral count aud affix his signature to' ibV"r'ecord which made it B. Hayes President. Dom Pedbo. Our New York Letter. Regular eorreipondence ofADVocATE. Nkw York, March 13, 1883. Dr. Dix's Lenten lectures about wo men have created n decided sensation, but his address of last Friday evening on divorce fairly capped the climax. Di vorces are really increasing nt an alarm ing rate, find tbe question arises nuder what circumstances do people really marry now-a-d lys. when so many coup les find that tbey have made mistakes. If marriage is oi ly n civil contract liable to be dissolved whenever the parties to it desire, bow will their children eventu ally bo able to recognize tbeir own par ents. We will bave to get to tbe ideal of tbe rabid socialist nud communist who maintains that tbe State sbonld take care of all children. But to return to tbe in crease of diveirce. I called at the ofBce of a man In Broadway not far from St. Paul's Church the other dey. "I have to go out for half an hour, please wait. If you wish to amuse yourself sit down at the window aud watch tbe building ou tbe other side of the way. Tell me what you notice." He returned iu about twenty minutes. "Did you notice any t'liuiT' he akked. "Nothing," I ans wered. He stepped over to tbe window. "What is that going into that building?" "A handsomely dressed lady, and as far as I can make out good looking," was my reply. "And is that the first one yon noticed entering there?" "No, I did not keep couut, but there must have been a dozen before her."' "That's it," he exclaimed, "Tbtre are four or five d. varce lawyers in that establishment misery loves company you know ond there is a regular stream of women, ladies, I suppose I ought lo call tbem, going Iu and out of that building from ten to four o'clock every day. If you value your peace of mind, 'my friend, never get marrieel." Here is a fact which Dr. Dix might have introduced very nicely in bis sermon. Mrs Paran Stevens, the well known wealthy society lady, was defendant In a suit some days ago iu a civil court. Her cook bad sued ber for $74, back wages due. Biddy claimed that she bad au arrangement wilb Mrs. Stevens by which she was to get $10 a mouth when iu towu and $30 wheu st Newport. She claimed that ber mistress had tried In get the best of ber and still owed ber tbe amount she demauded, Biddy was a vigorous middle-aged woman who could use Billingsgate in n manner to delight a thoroughbred fithwife, and she had no hesitation to cdl a spade a spade and with a baudlo too. She was uot to be done by "milady's" exalted position, When she mado np ber mind to bring suit, she fir t called ou Attorney General Russell, who hap. pued to be in town, aud asked bim to conduct it for ber. Ab he was unable to postpone au argument on Ibe telegraph question for tbe sake of Biddy's $71, be had to decline a retaining fee. She then weut to see Ex Lieutenant Govcre or Dorsbelmer but quarrelled with bim. After that aba called ou tbe Mayor who of conrsa was unable to assist ber. Then I sbe took one of the or Unary civil ourt lawyers and did gt a Ju igment for H, She docs not mind tbe money so much but she did enjoy "sbpaklu her moiud about milady In open coort an' before bis Honor tbe Joodge." St, Patrick's Day is coming on apace Next Saturday, St. Patrick who was a "ginlleroan," will come up smillug In the morning aud take possession of old Gotham rs be bas done for years, nud tbe shamrock nud tbe harp that once twanged Tara'a halls will float triumph antly above tbe stars and stripes. Still the day will be celebrated much more quietly than in former yearsi The suf ferings or the relatives and friends tin the green islu bave caused tbe money which would otherwise hayo beeu spent forsasbtsand potheen to be sent abroad, Tbe representative Irish organization St. Patrick's Alliance, will have its usual dinner In tbo evening, and other associ ations will bavo entertainments of oue kiud or anotber.nearly nil for tbe benefit of tbe sufferers at borne. Kistcr cards and Easter fhwerr are what interest everybody now. The fash ion has been set that churches ou Christ- mas. aud Eister must be decorated su perbly uilh cut fbwers,and every church uo matter bow poor it may be spends from hundreds to thousands ou tbem, Tuojo decorations will be very expensive this year, as the prolonged cold weather makes the price of flowers come very high. Violets aud other spring flowers hivo seldom been so expensive as they are no7, and as regards fine and rare roes they ore worth from twenty-five cents to a dollar a piece. As regards Easter cards tbe stationers have given ns n number of new and tasteful designs and the styles of execution are in many cases marvellously beautiful. Christ' mas and Easter cards bave all but driven valentines out of fhshion, and when one remembers to wbat base uses tbe valen tine bas frequently come to, one can hardly regret it. Hand painted cards, little plates of ivory, wooden and metal plaques, beautifully colored with spring flowers and the cross make handsome presents, aud may be had at prices rang lug nil, tbo way from one to fifty and sev enty-five dollars. A determined effort is to be made by tbe police to close tbe opium dens in tbe city, which have been increasing at a really alarming rate. Captain Williams of the Twenty-ninth Police Precinct raided one last week and captured the Chinese proprietor and one of bis guests. This however is only a forerunner of what is to come. There ore about eighty well known and .regularly patronized dens iu operation and they are thronged nightly and to a great extent daily too. Most of them are situated .far down town in the regions along tbe river front. They are most extensively patronized by abandoned men and women of the lower walks of lile, but persons of both sexes from the best classes frequent tbem as well, because they believe that there they are freer from discovery than in more select places up town. Tbe other even ing as I came home from Brooklyn I met a well known detective who took me to an opium.den in n side street leading off from Cbatam Street. The Ute consist ing of two small rooms was packed. A divan ran nlong the walls, and'for every two smokers thero was a, peculiar litlle kerosene lamp, with a chimney shaped like an inverted cup, with a small hole on top. At this the smokers lighted tbe opium before they placed it on tbe pans of tbeir pipes which from a distance looked liko iv ry mounted clarionets. What was my horror to find lying alongside of a sailor, an actress who not so many years ago was a popular favor it a. She was insensible. She was rich ly dressed and' though ber face was ghastly, pallid, the traces of former beauty could still be marked. Tbe den was filled, with smoke arising from twen ty odd pipes, and it was so dense as to almost obscure' tbe light from tbe little lamps. Through tbe gloom could be seen the demouiac face of the Chinaman presiding over tbe orgie. His bright little eyes gleamed like coals from tbe mtst, aud his long bony bauds tightly grasped his money drawer. I have seen revolting pictures, but this was the worst, Wb'U I came out in the fresh air I was all in a tremor, bnt perhaps this was caused by tbe opium fumes which I had inhaled. Poor WIggius. There is not a friend hero to speak well of bim. The pilots aud captains of tug-boats who refrained going ont to sea for fear lest his predic tion would come true.are swearing at the pecuniary loss which bas accrued to tbem. On Long Island several people bad built huts on elevated places iu or der to retire to tbem when the floods should make their advent. All this is now so mncb fear's labor lost, aud Wig gins is held responsible for it. Fortun ate it is for bim that be is not a wealthy man, otherwise his heirs would bave bim committed to a lunatio asylum. PATENTS OBAHTED.
