THE DIVORCE COURT.

A BIGAMIST HYPOCRITE,

ONE of the most arrant rascals Aye have read ot for some time, is a Mr Stanley, formerly of Wellington, a brewer by trade. He Avas married to Mary Ann , in Wellington in the year 1874, and he ill-treated her at various times in a most brutal fashion, so that she frequently left him, but with the forgiving nature of woman-kind, returned. At length he went to Melbourne, whence he Avrotc several letters asking her to join him, but she had got a protection order, and refused to comply Avith his Avishes. From Adelaide he Avrote : " Remember you are my first love, and my Avife still. Perhaps you are. Mary, dear, I some times think I have been tAvicc married." Subsequently, however, this Avifc received information * Avhich caused her to write to a Miss Donnelly in Melbourne enclosing a photograph of Stanley, and describing certain tatoo marks on his arm. It then transpired that he.had been married in 1872, to a Miss Ellen Jane Donnelly in Melbourne, avlio left him six weeks after the marriage in consequence of his ill-treat ment, and lazy habits. He wanted his wife to maintain him. The folloAvlng letters written by this man to his second victim from Newcastle, shew Avhat a blasphemous hypocrite he avus.

"Dear Mary—l am troinyr on the sea in a leaky old ship. I leave bore next weelc with coals. But 1 know that God Avill not neglect me on the deep. Oh, Mary, I have lost all my clothes, and what am Itodo on the ocean. Oh, my dear good wife, pray for me, your husband. Oli. Mary, my heart is full of love for you, the, only one that I ever loved. When 1 think of you it makes me feel so sad. You will sec sadness stamped in my face. My thoughts have been day and night on you, my only love. I Avill pray to the great God of Heaven to bless you. Remember I have to face him on the deep. There I shall see His Avatery Avorks. I will pray to God to bless you, and you will ask Him to guard me on the deep, while you are laying on your soft pillow. Oh, Mary, 1 have put my fait h in Him that guards me on the deep. Life has no Avretchedness equal to an ill-marriage. It is tho sepulchre of the heart. By the ghost of past affection and hopes gone for ever, my poor Mary, forgive me for going away to leave you, my wife, to this world of sin. Remember that lam your husband of years. Oh, let us for the future live in happiness and peace, and in the fear of our Maker." In another to Ellen Donnelly, prior to mar riage, he wrote:—"l love you with all my heart and all my soul. I ask you could two be more fond to enter into marriage than we are. Indeed, my OAvn sAvcet Ellen, this must be pure and heavenly love that God sent from Heaven. Good-bye for the present, thou good and faithful woman. My dear Ellen, yours ever faithful to the end." After marriage, he wrote thus :—" I think of you too much. O, ♦his heart Avill burst Avith love. _ You are the only Avoman I ever loved in my whole life. Thirty years have I kept this heart of love, and it is bursting to share it Avith you. May the great God of Heaven look doAvn upon you, and keep you happy till I see you again. Ellen, my faith is in God, and all my hope is in my good, and faithful, aud loving wife. I must stop this, for it hurts me." Ho writes afterwards from Auckland, calling her Bimply Ellen Stanley—" You say that I am a married man. There is some great mistake. If I had been married I should not have married you. Remember you have married a respectable man. I ask you to forgive me for lifting my hand to you." He subsequently Avrote to her from Fiji, saying:—"Dear wife—How often do I think of you in my mid-night slumbers on the stormy sea—do I think of you, and ask God who rules the storms to protect both you and me. Dear, it is on the ocean that you see God in His Avrat h, and then again when the cruel sea is calm, how I Avish I had you by my side, to tell you how I love you, my young Avife. * * * * I am not married to no Avif c but you; you arc my hrst and only love."

MR. STANLEY'S EXPLORATIONS IN CENTRAL AFRICA.

"We condense the following. from a letter from Stanley, dated Übagwe, Western Unyamwegi. April 21th, 1876. He states that he has discovered that the Kagera river forms a great lake about 80 miles in length, and from 1 to 5 miles in Avidth. He travelled iip the right bank Avith the object of discovering its source, and on the 6th clay, from a point of observation, he shay the Kagera floAving Sonth-Avest, Avhich Avas only a swift flowing stream of no A rery great Avidth or depth. The natives informed him that the lake-like Akanyaru Avas an affluent of the Kagera, and emptied itself into the Victoria Nizanza, a fact which he afterwards proved by exploration. He Avas* unable to penetrate beyond the mouth of the Akanyaru, OAving to the Avildness of the natives of Kishakka and Ugulu, Avho have a deadly aversion to strangers, the sight of e\-en a strange'dog being sufficient to send them into paroxyms of spear-shaking and bow-bending. These natiA'es are so dreadfully afraid of losing their cattle, that if one coav die of sickness the. ■whole neighbourhood is searched to discover the person who is supposed to have bcAvitched it, and the suspected person is killed. The natives will not give a stranger even a spoonful of milk. Between the lakes Victoria an 4 Albert, all the rivers, lakes, mountains, and basins, run in a north-easterly andsouth-westerly direction. He heard of another lake west of Akanyaru, but could get no certain information. He got Avithin 15 days journey of Ujiii, to which place he proposed to return, then explore the Tanganyika, and travel north by a circuitous route to effect the exploration of the Albert. He had seen a Daily Telegraph eighteen months old. He contradicts a statement by Colonel Grant that Lake Victoria Avas only 12 miles in Avidth, and says this is tho breadth of one of the. bays. In another letter, Mr. Stanley describes his mode of living. He had 100 men with him. For a necklace he bought a chicken or a_peck of SAveet potatoes, and two yards of cloth would purchase a goat or sheep. It Avas costing him at the rate of 58,400 necklaces a year. He next describes his " battles "as he styles thorn. One at Iturn Avhich lasted three days, and in Avhich he lost 21 men, and killed 35 of tho enemy, and wounded about 100. "Twice," he says, "aa^c made a clean sweep through their country, burning and destroying ivhat Aye came across, and Avould have liked to exterminate the wretches, had not my mission reqiured my duty in another direction." Oneof their barbed arroAVs, would go through a bullock at 20 yards. In six months he had travelled 720 miles by land, and 1001 by water.
