written on the marriage certificate, was

this city, having been used In milise.
qiieiit legal proceetllngs by her husband.
They lived together as husband and
wife at Intervals up to 1H7H, and during
tlielr cohabitation their daughter, Kate
J. Neagher, was born to them. Their
domicile during most of those years was
In Washington, I). V. In .December
following their marriage Noajjer set out
for Australia to better his fortunes, and
was absent six years anil nine months,
corresponding with his wife occasion
ally, and alwayB recognizing her marital
claim. Ie returned to his and her
home In July, 180.1, and, after spending
some time with her, left for l'liiladcl
phla on transient business. JTetlld not
return, however until June, IHil", al
though he had maintained correspond
ence meanwhile. His resilience with
her on this occiihion was even briefer
than before, owing to tastes and habits
ot ills which rendered them incompati
ble. During these visits there was no
hint of divorce on either side, although
the wife, in the absence of her husband,
had clilelly maintained herself nml
daughter by a millinery shop, Neagher
returned to his family again 1871, seem
ed very much pleased with his daughter,
buying her jewelry, eto.i and providing
both of them with clothing. He re
mained only one night, returning to
Philadelphia next day. Two weeks af
terward Mrs. iNeagher and the daughter
joined Neagher In this city at his re
quest. They lodged at the Colon nado
Hotel, where they resided several days,
Neagher paying all expenses. He re
moved them to the GibBon House, on
Market Htreet, paying all their ex
peuses, introducing them 'as his wife
aud daughter, for several weeks, after
ward sending them back to Washington,
where he visited them frequently be
tween '71 and '78. During ull these vis
its he never once mentioned, directly or
Indirectly, that he desigtied or had in
progress any proceedings in divorce, nor
of any decree separating them as man
and wife,
A FltAUDTJLENT DIVOHCE.
That such a decree had been grunted
she learned first In 18H0,on May 2th of
which year he died. Her daughter was
advised of Neugher's death by telegraph,
and they came on to Philadelphia .to
gether, only to learn that a woman
named Henrietta Brawley had taken
out letters of administration on Keagh
er's estate, claiming to be his wife,
Mrs. Neagher at once employed John
Flint, a member of the bar, to investi
gate the records, and from him learned
of a decree divorcing Neagher from her
on the ground 'of adultery. The decree
had been granted on return of non est
inventus after legal publication. In
view of the fact that Neagher was nev
er ignorant of the fuct that LU wife re
sided in Washington, and, as can be
abundantly proven, visited her frequent
ly both about the time of and subsequent
to the entry of the decree of divorce,
Mrs. Neagher felt encouraged to proceed
to have the decree set aside and the di
vorce annulled on the ground of fraud.
Counselor Flint was instructed to pro
ceed and Mrs. Neagher after acquaint
ing him with all the facts, returned to
Washington. The , lawyer prepared
voluminous affidavits which were sent
to Washington for proper execution,
but before they could be presented to the
Court he died after a prolouged Illness,
of which Mrs. Neagher was ignorant
all the time supposing him to be acting
for her best interests. It was only just
recently that she regained possession of
the papers and instructed E. B. Watson,
Esq., to proceed in her behalf, with the
result of the speedy placing of her case
on. the calendar of the Court. In his re
searches in the case Mr. Watson has
made some curious discoveries. In the
original divorce proceedings testimony
was taken in Washington without no.
tiee to her,, aud not by a commissioner
regularly deputed by the examiner, but
by a Justice of a Pence, who was him
self the only witness of the alleged adult
ery, and who probably administered the
oath to himself, Inasmuch as no Jurat Is
appended. This fact or Itself under the
practice of Courts of tills Hliile would tie
sufficient to Invalidate such testimony.
Among the other Interesting docu
ments discovered In the records of the
l'rothonotary were certificates of tho ill
voire of Charles J. Neger from Amelia
Ncger, decreed January 0, '72, and the
application of liouls Neger for divorce
from Caroline Neger, filed April U), '71,
both of which are believed to refer to
other marital ventures of Charles J.
Neagher. The plalnlltr In the present
case has been Informed that her husband
married three other women during his
sojourn In Australia.
The Inventory of Nengher's eRtnte
embraces several houses and other Items
of real estate and $1,500 cash in this
city, and two highly productive farms
In Australia.
The A;tcmpt to Kill President Jackson.
ANDUF.W JACKKON hud many bit
ter enemies. Being naturally a man
of violent temper, he had never learned to
control himself, aud In tho discharge of
Ills tilllclnl duty he had been compelled
to give great nlTensn to many who hon
estly dlflered from him. His veto of the
Bank bills and his prompt measures to
put down nullification hud Inflamed tho
passions of his political opponents.
Many said and believed that he was
ruining the country, and he aggravated
the feelings against him by his unyield
ing and Imperious manner. A Mr. Jtnu
dolph, who hud been a lieutenant In
the navy ami had been cashiered, at
tempted to pull President's Juckson's
nose publicly, and report says, more
than half succeeded. At least, the Pres.
ideut's face was with covered blood.
His pride was wounded In this case, but
there was no actual danger. "Had I
known," said Jackson, " that Randolph
stood before inr, 1 should have been
prepared, and I could have defended
myself. No villliin ever CHcnped me
before, and he would not, hud It not
been for my confined situation." (The
President was sel.ed in an linn clialr
when attacked).
Far more serious was the attempt
made upon the President's Hie Jan. ill),
1835. On that dtiy tlie President and
his Cabinet aud both houses of Congress
met in the hall of the House of Repre
sentatives to take part in the funeral
ceremonies of a deceased member of
Congress from Kouth Carolina. As the
President, near the head of tlie proces
sion, was passing out from the rotunda
of the Capitol and was about to enter
the portico, ti man stepped out of the
crowd, and, standing not eight feet from
the President, leveled u pistol at him
and pulled tlie trigger. Thecnp missed
lire. .The man instantly drew second
pistol from under his cloak and uguln
tried to shoot. But the second cap also
minced tire. President Jackson rushed
furiously at the assassin with uplifted
cane, and would have felled him to the
grilund, but, before he could reach the
man, Lieut. Gedney, of tlie navy, had
knocked him down, aud lie wus speedily
secured. The prisoner, who was au
English house-painter named Lawrence
Porter, explained his motives in words
which apply with singular aptness to
the case of the wretched Guiteuu :
Healing on all sides that the country
had been ruined by the measures of Gen.
Jackson, the project of assassinating
him had fastened Itself in his crazy
brain. The physicians who examined
him reported : " He stated that, believ
ing the President to be the source of all
his difficulties, he was still determined
to kill him ; and, if his successor pur
sued the same course, to put him out pf
way also."
Lawrence was placed in an asylum.
The insinuations of the Vlolc that he
was the agent of a conspiracy obtained
no general credence. But Jackson him
self always insisted that abler minds
than Lawrence's had instigated the as
sault. Miss Martlneau, who witnessed
the funeral ceremonies and hud a con
fused view of the exciting scene when
the President was'shot at, writes in her
" Retrospect of Western Travel :"
When I did go to the White House I
took the briefest possible notice to the
President of the "insane attempt" of
Lawrence, but the word roused bis ire.
He protested, in the presence of many
strangers, that there was no insanity in
the case. I was silent, of course. He
protested that there was n plot and that
the man was a too, and quoted the
Attorney General as his authority. It
was painful to hear a chief ruler public
ly trying to persuade a foreigner that
any of his constituents hated him to the
death, and I took the liberty to change
the subject.
Gen. Jackson to his dying hour sus
pected George Polndexter, of Missif.
slppi.of having participated in the at
tempt to assassinate him; but few, if
any, even of his own partisans, shared
in this suspicion. .

UNITED RTATEH Knntors draw
their salaries as regularly and with
ns much greediness as any other "hired
hand" In Washington. Home of them
draw every dny during the session of
Congress, some once a week, others
twice n month. A few of them go into
the cashier's room of the Kecrelary's
olllce and get tlulr salaries only once a
month. One Henutor only draws his
salary once a year.
Among the Senators who most fre.
quently draw on their stipends Is sena
tor Voorhees of Indiana. It Is said that
lie calls on the Hecrelary for his salary
oftener and draws smaller amounts than
any other member of the senate,
Henry G. Davis of West Virginia Is a
rich man, and uses his salary for spend
ing money. Whenever he needs a little
pocket money he semis Ills clerk into
the cashier's olllce and draws $50, $108,
and sometimes $500 at a time. He
boards at the Arlington Hotel, aud lives
within Ids salary.
Don Cameron of Pennsylvania, It Is
paid, prefers hard money, but Is not reg
ulur In calling for his pay. He does not
carry any money with him, aud runs a
bill at tlie Belittle restaurant, which I
iiave heard often amounts to from
to $500. When he needs any money he
goes in to the cashier uud tells htm to
semi up to his house $50 in .ten-cent
pieces, $100 In quarters, $200 in "half,
dollars, aud $10) or so In silver dollars.
I have heard It suggested that Don used
his salary in this way as a substitute for
poker chips.
Boscoe Conkling drew his salary once
a month. .When he resigned he sent
one of his clerks up to the Capitol and
drew all that was due him, including
tlie day on which his resignation was
rend. He, however was not In his seat
Hi nt day nor was he at the Capitol at all
afferwurd during the remainder of the
extra session.
Piatt of New York has a balance of $0
placed to his credit, which if not check
ed out before the 1st of July, will be sent
to him by the Hecretary of the Kenate.
One Hetiator from tho Houth, who
owns property, it Is said, frequently
sells his salary before it is due at a dis
count. I am told that once or twice,
after having given an order ou the Hec
retary lor his pay, by the way, he has
gone aud drawn it out himself, allowing
his order to go to protest and be iIIhIioii.
ored.
Hhermau draws his money whenever
lie needs It, sometimes twice a month,
and oftener it runs on two months.
Biirusldcs sends a draft on the Hecre
tary 's olllce to his banker, nt Providence,
once a month, and the bank draws on
the Hecretury of the Senate regularly
every month, whether the Senate, is in
session or not.
Anthony is the only Henator that
draws once a year, and his banker at
tends to it for him.
Fair, tif Nevada, went oil" without
drawing a cent, but his selury from the
4th of March to the 1st of July will be
sent to him, if he does not draw it out
in the meantime. Fair Is said to be
worth $42,000,000.
Ben Harrison drew on his salary
three or four times. Irf fact, up to the
adjournment of the last session that was
all the business he did in Washington
other than vote no with the Republicans
during the dead-lock.
Cull of Florida, is said to be the most
improvident Henator in the bunch. It
is said that he really does not know how
to manage his own financial affairs.
Senator Joe Brown, who looks like an
early day Hcotch Presbyterian, uses Ids
salary for living expenses In Washing
ton. He draws bis money whenever
his hotel presents its bill. Then he goes
to the Senate cash man, and complains
about how much it costs to live in Wash
ington. His living expenses, it is
thought however, do not exceed his sal
ary. LasJ: winter he boarded at the
ltiggs House, but he has bought, or pro
poses to buy, a house In which he will
live, and it is said, will entertain on an
elaborate scale. Mr. Brown is said to be
worth one or two millions.
There are several Senators who have
no other income than their salaries.
They cannot draw more money than is
actually due them, but are entitled to
their salary whether they come near
Washington during the session of Con
gress or stay away. If they do not call
for their money, it is sent to them on
the 1st of July each year. The majority
of Senators are railroad directors, presi
dents of railroad companies, presidents
of banks, bank directors, etc. Pendle
ton and Sherman both have large rail
road interests, as also has Henry G.
Davis, of West Virginia, who has large
mining interests, besides a large com
mercial business in Baltimore. Plumb
and Ingalls, of Kansas, are both inter
ested in railroad enterprises in the South
west. With but few exceptions, all of
them are Interested in some way with
some corporation or other. The $5,000
salary paid to Senators is, therefore, to
them a minor consideration. There is
not one of them that would serve If the
salary was the only oomilderitllotl Ht
stake.
Wanted to be nn Editor.
YE3TEUDAY old uncle Jesse Wing
lop, a time-honored preacher, who
bus preached among the. illl for forty
years, ami who In his younger days was
known as the " wheel-horse exhorler,"
came to town and called at the (Jatclto
ofllco.
" My son Gertrgo," said uncle Jesse to
the political man, "has Just graduated
from tlie old Bed Blufi Academy, and
after sauntering around among the pro
fesslons, peeping Into lawyer ofllces and
poking around doctor shops aud not
being satisfied he bus concluded to learn
the editing business. I know how much
fun has been made of men who want to
he editors, but of course I understand all
that. At first I'd llko for George to
take hold of the religious department,
for you know that I can help him some.
I've got four or five sermons that I'd
like to run in old sermons preached
long before men thought of getting out
new Testaments. Now, don't ridicule
the Idea."
"Uncle Jesse," replied the political
man with something like a sigh, " we'll
hold a cabinet meeting sometime during
the present week, when your son's case
will be considered. It Is encouraging to
see thnt church members are seeking
Journalism, anil I have no doubt but that
George will be of advantage to us. But
1 must go to dinner now. Just sit down
here among the exchanges and amuse
yourself until I return.
The editor went down, and the oltl
man took out his spectacles and began
handling papers with a newly- awaken
ed Idea of Importance. The editor had
not been gone but a few moments when
a luiiiy. looking man entered the editori
al room, and seeing the minister sur
rounded by a ruflled landscape of badly
handled apers, exclaimed:
" AU I ask of you Is to let ma shake
the Little. Hock dust from my feet. Do
you hear, spectacled fragment of a ruort-
gaged menagerie?"
" What do you mean ?" exclaimed the
old man in surprise.
" Just let me shake this dust off, you
gaping whlpperwlll of lint footed Ignor
ance. Slander a man as you did me
this morning, and then say you don't
know what he means!"
" I never said a word about you in my
life, sir."
" Let me shake off this dust and then
you can slash and slather my memory,
Nice old stretcher of the truth.
" Do you mean that 1 have lied sir V
"I do."
The old man hopped across the room
and grappled tho insulter. The fight
was earnest and terrible, and when the
editor came back, the top of the old
man's head was smeared with Ink and
the insulter was lying in the hall.
" Sort of a monkey and parrot time,
as the feller says," remarked the old
man. "I say, I believe George will
change his mind. You needn't call
that cabinet meeting. Talk about a
religious department; you ought to
have a sackfull of horse-pistols."
How Did He Get There?
The Lumbcrton (N. C.) Itobaonian
says : A few days ago a boy of about 0'
years of age, son of Mr. Henry Barnes,
living on the Broad Ridge, wa sent on
an errand to a neighbor's house. He7
stayed so long that search for him was
instituted, when he was found banging1
to the limb of a large pine tree aUiut -twenty
feet from the ground. When
asked to descend be declared that be
could not, and the man who climbed the
tree for him found great difficulty in
breaking his bold. He could not account
for being in the tree; the only solution
be could give was that something cold
seemed to seize bim around the waist,
and the next thing be knew was that he
was up in the tree. Persons who exam
ined the place say that the boy's tracks
could not be found nearer than twenty
feet of the tree, while the last tracks
seemed to have been made by skipping
or bounding. The boy bas been to town
and bas been examined, but the above
was all that could be decided. Wus itaiv
eagle or a bear, or wbat wag it ?
She got the Baby.
'Oh ! please give me one of my babies f
Please give me one of my babies !"
screeched Mrs. Itapp of Cincinnati,
who, having sued her husband for di
vorce on the ground of adultery, beard
the adverse decision of the Judtge grant
ing the custody of the children to bim.
" Oh I God ! I must have one of my
babies. Oh 1 1 have waited so long and
so patiently. Oh I take all the money,
but give me back my babies." Unable
to resist such a pathetic appeal, which
thrilled the crowded court-room, the
Judge subsequently modified bis decis
ion, giving her the youngest child for
the present. " God bless you, Judge!"
was the grateful acknowledgment.
