a calendar of unusual accuracy will be issued by that

very valuable and complete but like a large portion

AN IMPRACTICABLE LAw.-There is a law on our
statute books entitled can Act to prevent married
persons from deserving one another,'' that is pro-
ductive of some amusing scenes in the courts, but
apparently results in no good whatever in the direc-
ton for which it was intended. We will describe q
couple Of cases. On Thursday week. q very pretty
and neatly dressed young native woman was brought
before the Police Magistrate under arrest for deser-
ton of her husband, q respectable looking, middle
aged native. She confessed to the charge of deser-
ton, but on being asked the reason, only pulled
nervously at the tassel of her cloak, held her head
down, and was silent. Did her husband provide
properly for her wants? Yes. Did he ~ill-treat herr
No. Why then did she leave himl No answer.
Would she consent to returni Yes. Case dis
charged. and husband mulcted in "a costs. This
was the second time the parties had been before the
Court on the same business, and judging from ap-
pearances they will be likely to come again, for the
reconciliation lasts only to the door of the Court
House, and then the whole process can be gone
through with again, with the same result. On Tues
day of this week, Luis Gonzales Of the historic
name, who has been in hot water with Christian
Lopez (toth gentlemen of color about his wife Ka-
pipi. an interesting looking Hawaiian damsel, made
complaint that she had deserted his bed and board
without cause, and she was thereupon arrested.
Gonzales was confident that the unehristian Lopez
was at the bottom Of the d~esertioD, bat he eould not
prove it. Mrs. Kapipi Gonzales acknowledged the
soft impeachment She had deserted because Luis
was an angry man and ioohSd cross at her. (he is
jet black has only one eye, and a crooAS5 jaw) but
she was willing to return to his bed and board. On
these terms she was discharged, and walked out of
Court at once, without bestowing q single glance
upon Luis, who was ~fumbling in his pockets for the
costs of the proceeding. BE quick, Luis. or you'll
lose her again. remarked the Judge. Ii was a
good comment on the uselesaress OF the law
