Bow &Lost his "Stennis." The Cleveland Herald: relates the. following story: A. man land his wife who have , been living on the West Side, not on the most peaceable-terms, sepa rated the. other day, and, at- the sequel shows,-the wife•, whom he had• taken for "better or worse," got the best of it. Raving .converted Considerable of his property into cash, the View of an ultimate separation from her, be placed the money-82.400 in Government bonds—between the lining and outside of his vest, taking care to have the aperture through which it reached the depository carefully sewed, by a`worrian with whom he was at peace, or, in other words, had buried the hatchet. This woman, doubtless believing she mould eventually be well paid for her trouble, .told it to a friend, with an injunction 'not to whisper it for the world." That friend whispered it to another in whom She had the utmost confidence, with a a similar.injunction. and the secret ( ?) finally leaked into the wife's ear. One night while the husband, wlio like ,Feffengruntz in the Black Crook, occupied. ,'.separate apartments." was sleeping soundly, she stole into his rooin, parried away the vest, and quickly trans ferred the money to her b d osom, (perhaps) replacing it with a medical._ almanac,. lu the morning the husband happened , to. be unusually gross: A quarrel en:, sued, followed by an actual separation, he going. to the depot, and she to a i(ational 'Bank to4raw the intereetlon the . bonds. ' At the depot he informed a friend of the seParation, and patting his hand on the almanac;said - shi Wduld regret the course she had taken,loi he hid' all the "stamps." Swearing he would never return; he took the Toledo' train,',with fifty to one 'hundred dollare in his pocket, and has not been heard from since. Probably he has not - had occasion ; to use the "stamps" in his vest. His wife has gone to her friends in In-_ diana with nearly $4,500, including the interest, which will buy her a snug home, or a,clozen divorces in that State; if she should happen to get anymore_ unruly husbands.
