From tho Pittsburgh Leader. Pittsburgh lias now a real Enoch Arden sensation. The parties connect ed with tho affair are nil Pittitburgliera and are quite well known here, which, of course, makes it an item of more than usual interest to our readers. In the month of January, 186'2, a young woman, named Miss Sarah P. Voun, was married to Joseph M. Ab bott, a young man who hnd gained a local reputation as an amateur actor, who lived in ono of the upper wards l of the city. A few months after their ! : l l- .-j .1 marriage yvouon cijiiimcu iu hid aioiv, in Company A. Une Hundred and Ninth Pennsylvania Regiment, we be lieve. The regiment, which was must ered in Philadelphia, although a com pany or two was organized in this city, was sent to Harper s i erry and was at tached to General (now Governor) Geary's brigade. From llaper's Ferry the regiment took the field actively. Abbott corresponded with his wile up till this time, but after that Mrs. Ab bott failed to receive any lettors from her husband. She made inquiry cou cering him, but could get no informa tion in regard to him, as the regiment was constantly on the move she could not reach it by letter. At length she heard he was killed, unci, of course, went into mourning over her dead hus band. Some time after a young man, named Thomas L. Williams, asked the irivilcge of calling on Mrs. Abbott. Ie paid considerable attention to her, and at length asked her hand in mar riage. She at first refused on account of the mystery connected with her hus band's fate. There could be no doubt, however, from the report she received, that her husbnd was dead, nnd she at last consented to accept Mr. William's proposal, and was married again. This was in I860, four years after the depar ture of her first husband for the wars, Everything went on smoothly with the new wedded couple, nnd prosperity sec mod to hover about them. They were blessed with three children as the result of the union. Williams was prospering nicely, and held the posi tion ot a conductor on the 1 anhai.dle Railroad ; a position, we believe, he still occupies. But the heaven of joy was one day disturbed by the return of the first hus band to this city. Abbott, instead of being killed, as was reported, had pass ed through the war safely, and had re turned sound in body and spirit About four or five months ago he re' turned to this city. Imagine the as tonishment of those when the reality a pea red. The wife believed that her first husband wns dead, and ho comes home to find his wife wedded to anoth er. His appearance caused a separa tion all around. Abbott refused to assume his station as husband" when ho found that she had wedded another, and Williams de clined to remain with her when the other husband had made his appear ance. Williams accordingly left her, leaving her their three childred to care for, while Abbott retused to have any thing at all to do with her. J. he result of the whole aflair is that a few days ago Mrs. Abbott-Williams called on Brown & La in bio, attorneys, and after consultation, decided to bring suit against the second husband, Wil liams, for the support of their children, which he left iu her hands to care for, as she alleges, without giving her any means for the support of the children. The suit was instituted before Alder man Nicholson, who has held the case for trial. Tho trial, when it comes up, will doubtless be interesting in the ex treme. Somebody bus given a droll para phrase of George Washington and the hatchet story. He says General But ler and Wendell Phillips were in the Garden of the White House waiting to see the President. They were kept there for some while, when Butler, picking up a hatchet, began cuttiug the trees to beguile the time. Grunt soon after appeared, and asked, "who has beeu hacking these trees?" But ler answered, "I cuntiot tell a lie, Mr. President; it was Wendell Phillips." They 'sell pretty good brandy in Massachusetts. A man up there late ly bought some brandy, aud taking it home hung it up in a bottle by the lire place, when following circumstance took place as related by himself after wards: "It was a middling cold night, and when I got up in the morning I I found the bottle had dropped on the hearth and broken into a thousand pieces, but the brandy was all right there it hung on that nail, froze solider than thunder! A Missouri girl has not spoken to her parents for five years. When she wants money or anything she writes it down on a slate and hands it to her father, nnd loads a revolver. He never failed to "come down" yet ; so tli :y don't know really whether she would shoot or not. She is getting to be an old maid, because no young uiuu dares to take the chances.

R EPUBLIC in that Faith let us to the end, dare do our duty as we understand PA., TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 1871. Democratio Senate. The Democratic pnrty is digging its own grave as fast as it is possible for any party to do. Every day, almost every hour, the people are learning the lesson, that notwithstanding nil its promises and protests, it is still the snme old revolutionary party that hiss ed the loyal soldiers of the Govern ment, and applauded the victories of the Confederates. Whcrevei it lays its hand, a law is violated. The few successes it has gained within the past year, have only enabled it to tench the country its true character, and to mark it as totally unfitted lor govern ment. It has made no dill'urence where those successes have been achievedthe result has been, in every instance, the malicious trampling upon all law, peace, and good order. Whether we turn to the South or to the North, suc cess with that party bos secured the same end. Whether we regard the terrible increase of crime and murder of loyal Southern men, or whether we turn to Indiana, Pennsylvania or New York, we seo the same malignant, devclish spirit, prompting and ruling their actions. In our own State the Democratic Senate commenced with hip-h-handed usurpations totally unknown heretofore and to.duy, that same Senate is steal incr money from the Treasury, and re- Iusiitb to uo the ICKitunate worn that belongs to that body. No less than four weekly Calendars remain untouch ed, and every effort to pass a bill or to call it up, is defeated by a strict Dem ocratic vote, lhe excuse given is on ly commendable by reason of its un blushing effrontery. The Senate Ap pertionmetit bill, will not be pnssed in the House. Because a separate and distinct branch of legislation does not choose to pass a bill originating in the Senate, Democracy refuses to act on any House bill, or indeed on any bill at ull. Here is an effort to force the House in rauvsurcs, and to do so, the Senate moots dav after day, idles away the time, and pockets the peoples money. I his is Democracy. L.nW' abiding, law-loving, constitutional De mocracv. Its acts are as moral and upright as a till-tappcr, and no more. From present appearaces there will be a rupture between the two Houses. Heretofore the House lias gone on, legitimately discharging its business, acting on all tho bills, and has beeu doing the best it could un der the circumstances. We see, how ever, that a caucus has been held, and s Drue, kind of an agreement entered into by the Republicans. What the exact naturo of that agreement may be we do not preteud to know, but that it points towards retributive justice is most certain. Democracy, heretolore, could get its private bills passed through. We see that Mr. Buckalew's bill for cumulative voting in elections of borough councils, managed some' how or other to get through the Sen ate, and to the House. The agreement on the part of Republicans is iu all probability, that in tho future the llouso of Representatives will take care of these bills, and that the cha'iee so freely thrust upon Republicans, by Democracy in the isenate, will be com mended to its own lips. We are not at all certain that even this retribution is right and proper, but it seems to be the only way to deal with men, who have shown a total disregard for all law, and a determination to force a separate Legislative brunch, to favora bly puss a Senate Apportionment Bill. This Dead Lock iu the Legislature, arising as it does among, aud being di rectly chargeable to the Democrats of the Senate, will rise in judgment against them in the State hereafter, IHlttburgh Gazette. Mr. Thomas Gill, a veteran news paper reporter who died in Boston a week or two ago, in his lifetime was very fond of a joke, ami possessed a keen sense of humor. Tho Washing ton Chronicle gives an amusing in stance of his drollery, 'lhe Hon. Rob ert Rantoul, Jr., was delivering to an immense audience nil oration a cele bration ou Bunker Hill, in the course of which he described with great pathos and effect the famous battle which had occurred ou the very spot where they were assembled. As he resumed his seat, Gill, who was seuted near him, carelessly remarked, "My father was iu the battle." Rantoul immedintely sprang to his feet and announced this fact, whereupon there were vehement calls from the crowd fi r the sou of the Revolutionary hero. Mr. Gill mod estly rose, and after acknowledging the vociferous cheers which greeted liim, quietly informed his hearers that it was true that his father was in the bat tles of Bunker Hill, but he was fight ing on the other side! The scene that followed "beggared description." Mr. Gill waa an Englishman by birth, and one of the first professional reporters who caine4o America. Character is like a sl.'ck in trade; the more of it a man poseses, the greater is his faculties for adding to it.

We often hear stories related of the I wonderful cunning and knowledge of the of the rat. but one is told savs ' the Ogdensburg (N. Y.,) Journal "of a recent occurrence in which a real old , gray rnt whs the hero, nnd the incident whereot took plaie in that city, which ; is equal to the best. A lady who has n number of fine hens, to which she has devoted a good deal of care and attention during the winter, in hopes to obtain an early and a fair crop of fresh eggs, was surprised at the mea- gre result actually reached. The hens ' made noise, in singing and cacklug, i enough for every day layers, and yet ' only occasionally did she get on egg. lhe lady at length determined to watch operations and ascertain if pos- sible the cause of failure. She saw ' the hens go upon the nest, but if she I was not present when they came ou no egg was found. At length! constant watching and waiting solved the mys- tery. A day or two since, while on the watch, a hen came off the nest and commenced cackling. Almost instant ly an old rat came out of a hole, and running into a barrel, which was thrown down upon its side, and in which the hen's nest was, at once nosed the egg out upon the ground, then laid down upon its back and getting the egg between its fore paws and nose, commenced squealing, when two other rnts came out and taking the rat with the egg by the hind legs, dragged it. egg and nil, into the hole. The lady afhrms that she can substantiate the foregoing fact by at least three living witnesses. If any one can tell a more remarkable rat story than this we would like to hear it. Rossiter Johnson has a fresh article on an old subject, "The Torments of Typograpy." He gives this good ad vice as to writing: "It matters little how ungraceful or clumsy one's chiro-o-rnnhv mav be : if he uniformly makes i j j , -a distinct character for each letter of the alphabet, it can soon be read with ease. But there is a good deal of writing, called elegant, in which such words as "moreover" nnd "carnivoi ous" words with no long letters in them are represented by a mark like the outline of a row of saw-teeth. You can only guess them from the context, i and can only guess the context Irom its long letters. When it treats ef or dinary topics, such manuscript can be used, though it is always an annoyance. But when proper names technical terms are written in this way, it be comes exasperating beyound all en durance." Of telegraphic blunders he says: "You can uo more induce a telegraph operator to forego his indulgence in these and kindred blunders, than you can coax, cajole, train, frighten, drive or hire a provincial compositor to spell tranquillity with & double ."

She hud , ., , . .i . i a i , i. . i , ... , . f. . -v ed, certainly allowed great "freedom o,l ..rl.lnl. nTu,.' ni-ont "(,,, l,,, in debate." The wedding day was ap proaching, and it was time tho chil dern should know they were to have a new fother. Calling the crippled boy the widow said : "George, I am going to do some thing belbro long thai I would like to talk about with you. "I am intending to marry Dr. Jones in a few days, and "Bully for you, Ma 1 Does Dr. Jones know it?" Ma caught her breath, but failed to articulate a response.
