Show Mr. Richard J. Histon, ol the New York Mail, who was in this city about a month ago, fcai been airing himself on aSairs in Utah. "Dick" is "an old stager," says the Tribune, and a deuced clever fellow no doubt. It was only a few weeks Bince that we read something of that kind in an eastern paper, but the grey mare waa the better horBe, and Mre. Hinton got away with him. When on the Evening Post in San Francisco, about a year ago, "Dick's" eyaa had lighted onhiB "affinity," and be waa fright-! fully Bmitten with Beeoher'a paroxysmal paroxys-mal bliss; but how t) get along with a wifo and an affinity on a alight aalary, was the perplexity, "Incompatibility" "Incom-patibility" waB the magic word, and ofl "Dick" rushed headlong for a divorce. The slight embarrassment of dividing an only chili was soon brushed away. Mrs. Hinton kept the child and Dick promised a monthly allowance for hcth. Tbe divorce waa obtained on Tuesday, the agreement of allowance wai signed by him on Tbureday; on Friday he married his affinity, and before he had well get warmed in hiB new quarters be waa horrified with the intelligence that ftlrp. Binton number one had stolen a march upon him on the day succeeding suc-ceeding the divoroe which Diok had preased for bo much, Bhe had wedded another husband and taken him home to Dick's favorite, easy chair. The monthly allowance obtained the following day from the innocent Dick was rather sharp practice; but in love and war everything is fair, aud tbe allowance was handy Ij commence new housekeeping with. It was diamond dia-mond cut diamond, and Dick got the worst of it. We wiBb him better success suc-cess next time. |
