THE YELYERTON CASE.-" With pain," Miss
Longworth states in the MACS that another seven years'
war will in all probability be the consequence of the late
decision, the next step assuming the form in Scotland of a
"reduction of judgment," that course being advised par
preference from four or five others competent under the
circumstances. "Permit me to say," she adds, "that
seven years, during which period this action has been
pending against me, not of my seeking, is really but a
trifle !n Scotch causes. The Dalrymple' case lasted
fifteen years, and the great Shoddon case has, I believe,
lived out over thirty sessions. To my sorrow I have to
record the fact of being compelled to strive on, for the
alternative is a Charybdis of equally fearful aspect, namely,
remaining the wife of a man in a ring fence only,
a wife in Ireland and not in Scotland. The husband hav-
ing cleared the hurdles finds himself safe on the other side
by the aid of a second marriage and the discretion of a
court who have refused to discover the spot where he had
earthed himself. My appeal was simply to have him pro-
duced. Would that the court, in the wisdom of their dis-
cretion, had informed me whether, if I committed bigamy
it would free me from my first marriage with Major Yel-
verton, and if a second husband, during the lifetime of
the first, would be considered as a third party, whose
interests could protect me from any disagreeable inquiries
from a Prccurator Fiscal or the like functionary. It is a
kind of dreary comfort to me to be the pivot upon which
the laws for the good of my fellow-creatures should turn.
I accept the position which you assign me, but I must not
flinch or crumble until my task, hard though it be, is
accomplished."

ILEX CLUB SWIMMING RACE FOR THE CAPTAINCY.
Yesterday evening the members of the Ilex Swimming
Club contended for the captaincy, the distance being ono
mile. There worn seven entries, but the issue was never
in doubt, for Mr. Walter Long took the lead and kept it,
w:uning easily by fifty yards ; Joyce being the same dis-
ance ahead of Gye, who just managed to put Hopkins a
ca,iital fourth. The distance was from the railway bridge
below Kew to about a hundred yards from the Ship at
Mortlake—a not by any means "iudia-rubber mile." Mr.
J. P. Davis was starter and judge, and but for the lateness
of the time the arrangements were excellent.
A HIGHLANDER'S O.ATI...—The following i'i a
scene that lately took plac3 in one of the kirks at the Lewis,
ono of the Hebrides, on a Sabbath evening :—" Minister
(loqui.ar, from the pulpit)—Callum Mhor, why were you not
in church last Sabbath? Callum —I was in church last
Sabbath. Minister—You were not. Callum--I was. Minis-
ter—Are you ready to swear you were? Callum—To be
sure. Minister shut up. Friend, solo voce to Callum, on
the way out (for Callum had not been in church the Sab-
bath before) Well, well, it was awful of you to offer
your oath to a lie.' Ah, but,' says Callum, confidentially,
'isn't there a great difference between offering a thing and
giving it.—Glasgow Daily Hcraid.
