SOBER SECOND THoUGHT.-Nhen Deacon

expert in crawling out Of it. Though quick
tempered, he was one Of the best deacons in
the world. He would not, in sober mo-
ment, utter any oath, or anything like one,
for his weight in-cider. AT the close Of
rainy day he was milking upon a knoll IN
his barn-yard, on one side Of which was a
dirty slough, and on the other an old ram
thai in consideration of his usually quiet
disposition, was allowed to run with the
cows. The good old deacon was piously
humming "Old Hundred" and had just nm
ished The line ending with "exalted high
when the ram, obeying a sudden impulse,
gave him blow from behind, that sent him
a short distance, only to fall directly into
the slough, where the dirty water was deep
enough to give him a thorough immersing.
As he crawled out, and before he rose from
his hands and knees, he looked over his
shoulder at the ram, and vocforated, "you

bG- The London Court Journal mentions
a striking instance of the defects Of the pres
ent English laws upon divorce. A gentle
man, named Lolly, having married in Eng
land, afterwards procured divorce in Scot
land, and married again in the confident be-
lief, founded upon the authority of Scottish
lawyers, that the divorce was good one.
The law decided otherwise, and he was
transported. On returning TO England at
the expiration Of his term Of punishment,
he found that his second wife had married
again, and in his distress he destroyed him
self The second wife claimed his proper
ty, and the Ecclesiastical Court gave it her,
thus awarding a degree of wealth to one
partner of an act, though the other had been
condemned to associate for years with fpl-
ons.

TNMIGRANTS, and other white persons. are
H. hereby warned not to settle in the Indian
country East of the Cascade mountains. in the
Teniiorio' Of Oregon and Washington. The In
dian title has not yet been extiBguished BY treaty.
Congress by the act of 5th June, 1850, authorized
negotiations for the lands West of the Cascade
mountains. but no act of Congres has yet author.
lied the President to commence any on the Eas,
Of those mountains. Therefore it is not proper
for settlements to be made there The same ac,
Of Congress extended d" the act Of SOth June. 1894
to regulate trade and intercourse with Indian
tribes over this territory. BY the 10Th and I'M
sections Of that act it is my duty to warn off set
tiers from the Indian country.
No assent or consent, of any kind has Leen
given by any Of the organized and powerful Indian
tribes, TO any settlement being made. The GOV.
eminent alone, according to the act Of l4tb An.
gust 1913, has power to treat for the extinpuisb.
meni Of the Indian title and it becomes ali good
