Nevada as nm Agricultural State.

The following two paragraphs are taken
from the Gold Hill Nlws Of . recent
date:
"Only a few days ago, we noticed that
Scion Robinson, the cabbage-head editor
Of the New York Tribune, in the course
Of one Of his esculent addresses before the
Farmers Club of Duchess county, took
considerable pains-brought forth q long
paragraph on the subject-to say that in
Nevada an instance was given Of 9 State
whose geographical lines could never in
close a Farmer Association that we had
nothing but sage brush here, and that not
even q palatable tea could be made out Of
this spontaneous but sparse production.
This very year Nevada will raise nearly, il
not quite, a sufficient supply Of potatoes
for her inhabitants, and next year, unless
opposing cause be found in difficulty Of
transportation, there will be an adequate
home supply for man and beast Of all
earth-crops except wheat and OF this lat
ter staple we shall raise a supply before
1870.
1870! Before that year shall have
passed. the railroad will not only have
been completed direct through our Dor
ders, but numerous branches will Be in
working order-ths direction and length
Of which we shall name, on authority,
hereafter"
Even the editor Of the News falls short
in his estimate. Humboldt county alone
10 capable Of producing all the hay, grain,
and vegetables needed by the present pop
ulation Of the State. When we left Cali
~fornia, potatoes were considered fair At 4
cents the pound, cheap at 8. Hero in
Humboldt, to-day, you may buy all the
potatoes that the people Of Storey county
can consume during the Winter, At 2 to
"a cents the pound; and better potatoes
than are produced in the .world-m 10 a..
ssverated by people from every quarter Of
the globe. Garden vegetables are here in
supsrabundance. They are q positive
drug In the market, unsaleable. One man
traded IL tons, q few days ago, for q COM
mon plug horse that wouldn't sell in the
States for twenty dollars. You can trade

enough to keep ssven children through the
Winter.
Hay, such 90 1t 10, grows spontaneously

Remarkable Domestic Complication.
A curious case Of unconscious biglmy
wal brought before Justice Sturtevant
yesterday morning. The defendant was
Mrs. Augusta Sundermeyer, alias Bruns,
and the circumstance which brought the
weeping ono into the prisoners box were
thus detailed: Her maiden name was
Augusta Appel. She was courted and
won by one Sundermsysr. and on the
first day Of July, 1866, she was led to the
altar q blushing maid and left il . happy
bride. But her married life was not
pleasant. The one she loved, and who
had sworn to love, cherish, and protect
her, wearied Of the connubial tie. and re-
solved to cut it. He did 80. He deserted
her, and went into the country ostensibly
to secure work. For some time tho dis
consulate and deserted wife heard nothing
Of the faithless swain. Then she did. She
heard that he was dead. For a while she
mournsd, but time had ito soothing effect.
The report Of Sundermsyer's death was
not contradieted, and she believed she was
at liberty to choose another partner.
Not long ago the widow won another
heart, and wishing to be just, gave in re-
turn therefor her own. William Bruns.
a good looking young man, who resided
at No. S27 Halstead street, within . few
doors Of the home Of the charmsr, fell in
love with the widow. He proposed, was
accepted, aud tho twain were united by
an officiating justice. For a while they
lived contsntsd and happily, but an evil
hour came. Sundermeyer ways not dead
"A disagreeabls fact, realized when that
individual made his appearance in Chicago
again. He visited the home Of Bruins and
accused him Of larceny Of his wife. The
second husband wal COMPOUNDED. The
wife tainted. A question Of title Aross
between the men. The nsighbors took
sides in tho quarrel. Some declared hus-
band No. l TO Do . brute, and No. "a
duck. Others that the unhappy wife Of
two men wal q bad woman. The wife
had nothing to say, and said it. Sunder-
meyer did not want his wife, but he was
determined that Bruins should not have
her. Lawyers were engaged or both
sides. The wife was charged with bigamy.
but a. she proved that she had good rea-
| son to believe husband No. l to DO dead,
the charge, wal not sustained. As the
parties left the courtroom each husband
still claimed the wife, but she. more wise
than they, would not live with either, or
30 said, until the law had dissolved the
binding tie between herself and No. J.,
when she would return to the homo OF
the faithful and loving husband, William
Bruins. It 10 to DO hoped there will DO no
delay in the prosecution Of a DIVORCE

BUYING VOTES IN ENGLAND.

While in Prussia they are comforting the
right to elect members Of Parliament on
every citizen above twenty-five. in Eng
land the London Times and the Tories are
holding up the ~corrup,ions Of the ooroughs
as a ? proof Of the danger and folly OF aug
menting the number OF voters. Before
the Reform Bill Of 1882, the freedom OF
the borough Of Totnsss, for example,
elected fourteen masters, who appointed
about 70 electors, who were usually non
resident, and returned to Parliament any
man a. member they chose. Then, 1t is
said, there were no contested elections, no
open bribery. The fact il, one principal
landholder probably bu,,oned up the
whole borough in his pocket. Since 1887
with 5000 inhabitants, the voters have
gradually increased from 2l7 to 47s, and
the bribery has increased in like proper
ton. At the late election from $500 to
$1,000 were paid for single votes. Zone
operator states that he asked . voter
whether three hundred pounds (Sl6oo in
gold) would be any consideration" and
was answered that another hundred
would do better" After polling day,
mortgages were paid of, houses furnished
and purchased ; in fact, since 1889, half a
million Of dollars had been spent there N
elections.
Indeed, the trsemen seem to have hired
an agent to approach rich commercial men
in Manchester who desired the honor and
influence Of getting into Parliament, and
who are Of the spiri, required; :" that 10.
are ready to bribs and buy their way into
Parliament. The Time, asks: "Supposs
a large extension Of suffrage doubled the
number Of voters, would that make Tot
ness a pure borough, or only reduce the
price Of vo,esE"
Before the first Reform bill was passed,
i. was three times rejected BY the House
Of Lords, and its final passage settled It
forever ,ha, the House Of Lord, could not
carry on the Government without submit
ting 10 the House Of Commons. The
question now in the present English Re-
form bill 10, Can the House Of Commons
carry on the Government Of England
without submitting to the pressure Of the
unrepresented classes outside: That 10,
shall the wealth OF England, or the num-
Der, Of men, govern?
1, may be said tina. il every man in Eng
land had q vote. it would only lower the
price and not lessen the corruption. All
tina, can be said is. that where the vote OF
trsemen can be bought and sold in that
way, the country has become the slave OF
its wealth /; it has lost liberty, and is like
Rome in the last days Of the Empire,
when the imperial power was sold BY the
Roman soldiers to the candidate who
offered the largest bride, himself to be dis
placed for another as soon a. the money
was spent. This IL one Of the great dan
gers Of too wide a gulf between the rich
and the poor. When property alone gov
ems q country, its owners will 90 lsgislato
as 10 make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. But let the votes Of all be equal,
and wealth and intellect, though they will
still have enormous powers, will be kept
in check BY the numbers Of the poor. and
popular measures will enable the poor to
rise by industry, a. in this country.
