ZHietday, July 2, 1872.
President Grant, has had the degree
of L. L. D., conferred upon him by the
Harvard University. So in future instead
of boing called general, he can claim to bo
recognized as Doctor Grant.
At Cnicioo, on Friday a week the po
lice arrested a young man named Evans,
from Baltimore, on the charge of having
commitcd a robbery in that city a short
time since of diamonds valued at f 2500
and $700 in money. Evans is a young man
of good family and highly connected. A
portion of the diamonds wore found in bis
possession and part of them he had dis
posed of trading them off at ruinous fig
ures for horses,&c. ' Ho freely confesses
his guilt. We know another man by the
name of Evans, who got off better, but to
be sure he pocketed a largor amount.
Hon Our Flag is Respected.
The State Department has reoeived dis
patches from George Holt, our Consul at
Gaspe Basin, Canada, to tho effect that the
captain of the Dominion cutter Stella Ma
rie, captured the American schooner James
Bliss, for an alleged violation of the Do
minion laws, and brought her into port
with the Dominion flag flying at tho peak
over the American flag, which was Union
down. Our Consul protested against the
insult, but it was repeated.
Secretary Fish, when bis attention was
called to it, remarked: "It amounts to
nothing. Some hairbrained Dominion offi
cial thinks he can make treuble by insult
ing our flag. We have become accustomed
to such insolence."
That is true, but the people will soon
wish to know who to blame for these in
sults. Stamp Duties Removed.

1 A few days siuce a resident of Conn.,
, named Clark accompanied by his wife loft
Pittsburg for Philadelphia, , When in the
vicinity of New Florence the husband start
ed to go to the smoking car and it ia sup
posed that when he stepped out on the plat
form he fell off the car on to the track and
was run over by several trains befoie his
remains Were discovered. Becoming alarm
ed at his prolonged absence, the wife re
quested the conductor to go in quest of her
husband, but after a diligent search through
the train his whereabouts could not be dis
. covered, .. Thinking that her husband had
-missed the train at some point, the wife got
- off at Altooua and waited for the next train,
but be was not on board it. She then con
tinued her Journey to Philadelphia and on
the next morning wan apprised by a tele-
, gram of the terrible frtte which had befel
tier husband. ". i ! i:i -i a:, , m
. , Chaining a Wile.
A Pittsburg paper of a recent date tells
the following horrid story:
Last night one of the Mayor's patrol had
his attention drawn to a bare-headed lightly
draped woman, who had a heavy chain
padlocked to her neck, and a large metal
weight, weighing fully thirty pounds, at
tached thereto. Thinking she was an es
caped lunatic he at once took her into cus
tody and lodged her in" the lock-up. She
gave her name as Eliza Martin, and stated
while they were relieving her of her bonds
that the chain and weight had been placed
on her by her husband, and that his cruel
treatment bad been such that sho left
home with the intention of drowning hor-
solf. She was mot on Market streot by a
couple of young men who dissuaded her
from the rash act, and she was, whan cap
tured, wandering about the streets in an al
most exhausted condition.
This morning Mayor Blackmore institu
ted an investigation, and there she informed
him that her husband's name is Arthur
Martin; that be had been in the habit of
treating her in the way that was Been the
night before. She also said that on last
Friday he had deliberately heated a poker
red hot, and burned her with it, and that
his object in doing so was to prevent her
from drinking liquor. Tho woman's ap
pearanco was miserable in the extreme, and
if her statements are correct, we have here
a sample of cruelty in our midst hardly
second to that practiced by the most savage
barbarians. Martin was arrested this
morning.
His statement is briefly this: Ho is a
drayman for 8. P. Shriver & Co., and with
his earnings supports a family including
himself, wife and eight children, at his
house on Seventh avenue, near the foot of
Prospect street. For a long time back
Mrs. Martin has been so addicted to drink
ing that she has not only been perfectly
useless in taking care of her children, but
has made away with considerable of his
money, and brought reproach upon his good
name. In ordor to stop this he took the
law in his own hands, and in order to do
so effectively, purchased a chain and secur
ed her to a bed every morning before going
to his labors. It did not appear to work
well, however, for nearly every time she
managed to break away, and would bo ab
sent when be returned to dinner in short,
would not bo at homo again until he would
send the children skirmishing around the
neighborhood for her, when she was gener
ally picked up in some out-of-the-way
place in an intoxicated condition, no had
applied this treatment forseveraldaysback,
we don't know how long, and he will not
state the length of time. But last evening
she broke loose, and was locked up. Ho
says tho injury on lior mouth was occasion
ed by a fall; though in relation to his burn
ing her on the mouth with a poker ho is
reticent.
A hearing was given the prisoner this
morning, and the information having been
read to him, he acknowlcged he had chain
ed her, and detailed the reasons he hod for
doing so as given above. He attempted to
justify himself because of the trouble the
intemperate habits of his wife had given
him, and described at some length how she
stole money from his clothes wherowith
to satisfy hor cravings for liquor. No
longer ago than Monday he says ho missed
a ton dollar note from his pocket-book
When asked whether ho had burned her
mouth with a poker, ho equivocated and
said he did not remember of having done
so. The Mayor held him in $1,000 bail to
answer a charge of aggravated assault and
battery, and at last accounts ho was in
search of the requisite bondsmen.
Tho chain with which he secured her is
heavy enough to hold a dozen women. . It
is just long enough when doubled, as he was
in tho habit of rigging it, and being attach
ed to her neck, and the weight to hold her
In a very uncomfortable stooping posture
while sitting down. The outrage in thus
binding her, was one that not evon the se
rious cause which he alleges can excuse,
and it is more than likely '.hat justice will
make such an example of him that similar
inclined individuals will adopt some other
method of family discipline.
Mysterious Disappearance,
The Boston "Globo" says: About a week
ago a young lady named Edith F. Wallace
suddenly disappeared from hor mother's
house, and has not since boon heard from.
The affair is one of peculiar mystery, as it
Is impossible for her friends to conjecture
why she left ber home. On the day previ
ous to her departure she complained of
headache, and retired at an early hour of
the evening. About nine o'clock one of
the family bade hor "good-night" and she
being in her room responded, but before
ten o'clock another of the household having
ocsaslon to visit tho room, found it vacant,
During the intervening time a slight noise
was heard in the room sounding ' like the
moving of a table, but it attracted no par
ticular attention.
A careful examination of her wardrobe
indicates that she loft without anoverskirt,
and wearing an old pair of shoes. The
best wearing apparel remaining would seem
to indicate that she made no preparations
for a journey. A no motive for fliirht can
be suggested, the matter is Involved in
strange uncertainty, to which any solution,
even the worst,- would be a relief 1 to the
young lady's friends, who are overwhelmed
with grief ana anxiety. ;,. ,.,,...,
Straggle With a Mad Horse.
The Winona " Republican" of the 15th
says: One of the most distressing accidents
that has ever happened In connection with
horses, in this vicinity, befol Mr. William
Richardson, a well known teamster of this
city near Money Creek, about twelve milos
out on Wednesday last.
Mr. Richardson was travoling through
the country with a stallion attached to a
light gig or sulky, and having stopped at
the place above named to fill two or three
engagements, was abont to hitch the horse
up again to drive on, but on seeing the gig
the animal showed signs of being unruly
and disobedient. Mr. Richardson went to
his head and was about to take hold of the
brldlo with his loft hand, when the horse
caught him savagely by tho wrist, and in
spito of Mr. Richardson's strugglo, bit hl'ra
In a horrible manner.
In vain did Mr. Richardson endeavor to
force open the mouth of the Infuriated an
imal with his right hand, but tho toeth of
tho horse closed upon his wrist like a vice,
cutting through the flesh and bones and
holding him with a grip of iron. At the
same time tho horso triod to crowd his
master under him, but one of the thills was,
fortunately, through the harness on that
sido and acted as a guard otherwise Mr.
Richardson would probably have boon
trampled to death.
Meanwhile the cries of tho unfortunate
man for help had brought a woman to the
rescue, but she was poworloss to afford re
lief herself, and accordingly started to
bring help, half a mile distant, while the
fearful struggle between the master and his
wild stallion went on. At a short distance
tho woman met a man coming along with
a horse, and sho called upon bira for assist
ance. The man hurried to the scene, and
upon his arrival the stallion released his
hold of Mr. Richardson and modo a grab
with his teeth at the new comer, who bare
ly escaped with a large piece taken out of
his coat sleeve.
The ugly beast was subdued after con
siderable hard work, and attention was turn
ed to Mr. Richardson, who, although woak
from the awful conflict through which he
had passed, was still very brave and never
fainted from the effocts of the accident. Ho
wis brought to the city and examined by
the surgeons, who found the left arm dislo
cated both at the elbow and shoulder, be
sides being so frightfully mangled at the
wrist as to necessitate amputation.
