As ELorExgSr.-There is sorrow in the

Az ELoPENENT.-There is sorrow in the
Castle of Vessar. At least we suppose
there is. The fair mistress, white woman,
and somewhat notorious for being dem
.izen of demi monde, and whose charms has
so often been the theme of eide brudder
bones" has incontinently fed. Yesterday,
during the absence of the owner of the
aforesaid castle, she conceived the brilliant
idea of clopement, and without first asking
for the consent of her husband, carried A.
way with her all of the household furniture,
the numerous little Vessars, and span of
horses and wagon. The feat was nc
complished through the assistance of two
gentlemen Of color, one of whom was none
other than the celebrated Bill Marshal, who
for some time past had been giving her some
attention. As Biliys soft rolling eve,
and otherwise persuasive charms, which
has SO often made sad havoc anong the
dusky beauties of the town, was doubtless
mainly instrumental in bringing about the
event. No one as vet have learned OF their
whereabouts; and so soon rs it is found
out, the friends of Marshal purpose to tax :
him away from the woman, induce her to
return to her husband and thereby rcjuve-
mate the marriage tie. Ye,sar, Lowever,
objects-to the arrangement, and SAYS he is
going to get bill of divorce from Justice
of Peace.

An UnlnckY SIeen.

One day last week lady was picked up
beside the track of the p. and Il. railroad
badly injured. She was passenger on a
train, and supposed she fell off while asleep.
She states that she has no recollection of
the accident, other than that she was dream
ing of cutting sugar for her children, and,
having given out the last started for more.
This, she asserts, was the last she could
recall to mind before finding herself in the
sad plight by the track. Persons who walk in
their sleep had better tie themselves into
the seat before indulging in nap in rail-
rOnd train.

Where is the DiEereuco2

This is curious world. Two months
ago one b. f. Simmons eloped from ST.
Paul with married lady, both of them
leaving families behind them. Both were
in "good society" Both were excrecated
The other day they both returned. The
woman was met with reproaches and epi-
thets. Old friends cut her on the streets.
A divorce was demanded by her aggrieved
husband. She was voted an outcast. How
about Simmons? Simmons was man, you
see, and that makes difference, you know.
His wife and weeping friends welcomed
him with.embraces-the poor, misled prodi-
gal. His cronies laughed with him gaily
on his gallantry. That night he drove
around town with his family, behind dappled
greys, and bowling and smiling patroniz-
ingly!
Mrs.-ho matter about the other name, is
literally spurned and driven from her home
by all who know her, while her paramour
and the equal criminal has not even for
moment lost his business footing, and is
just as much the favorite in society as ever.
For he is man, you know. Why is this
1t is wrong. One of three things ought to
come to pass. Either woman's lapse from
virtue ought to be regarded with more
charity, or else the man who drags her
down ought TO be held to an equal punish
mentor else polygamy ought to be estab-
lished at once and Brigham Young elected
President. 1t is simply shameful that
women should be punished ten times as
severely as men for the same sin.

where some loose powder was scattered. At
the time of the casualty, powder was being
issued by Mr.. w. X. Taylor clerk from
the store, and there were present five mi
ners with tin cans, waiting to be served
with powder prepa ratory to entering the
mines.
Mr.. Taylor clerk and Burns and Law
ler, miners, are in very critical condition,
and their recovery is considered extremely
doubtful Their clothes were nearly all
burned off, and the flesh on their faces,
breasts, arms and hands is literally roasted
having the sinews and bones exposed.
Their condition is Notwithstanding and pain
full to witness. The other three miners,
Andrews, Lulhier and Whalan although
badly burned and otherwise injured are
convalescing. A man who don't know any
better than to empty pipe in powder
magazine ought to be blown up, Or kept
in lunatic asylum.
