Fanny Fern again in Domestic Trouble

“Fanny Fern” had, we believe, been twice married and each time divorced from her husband, before marrying the present “partner of her joys.”  The New York Times of last Saturday has this announcement:

The infelicity of literary marriages is proverbial.  Even the shrewd and sensible Fanny Fern has been unable to evade the inexorable law, for we regret to hear that she has felt obliged to separate from her husband, Mr. James F. Parton, whom she charges with inflicting upon her violent personal usage.
