A Sydney radical piper writes;—Mary Ann King, a Melbourne lady, who holds a half-share in a gentleman now under arrest for bigamy, stated in her evidence that aha advertised for a kindred soul, and received 32 applications for the situation. She selected the defendant as the most promising of tha lot, from which we would assume, that the other 31 must have be«n » ftallowt-lookjng crowd, wi b homicide end incendiarism and abandonment of belpleeg infanta written large upon their beetle brows, The poiloe-foree had a J'cpg and exciting ohaeo after Mary's hutbsnd, and he was trapped at last through making an appointment with that injured lady. Even then it eeems ho had time to bang Mary Ann about very considerably before the detective jumped on him And wrenched him off, and it that official had lieon a moment later there would probably have been on utterly ruined Ann lying on the ground, and the case would have assumed a new aspect. The great law that man must either bust or advertise evidently fail, to apply to a lone woman io .earch 0! a husband. She advertises first and busts afterwards.
