A man named franklin. living In st.
Louis, has sued for divorce from bis
wife on account of her cruel conduct
toward him. This amiabie woman has
stabbed her husband on four different
occasions. She has repeatedly struck
him with clubs. and has often seized hin
by the throat and beaten him with her
fist. The reason of this peremptory
course Of treatment was not his drunkcn-
ness or unfsithfulness. On the contrary.
the only charge that she makes against
bim is, that he would not vote as she
wished him to. II this is the way in
which strong-minded women attempt to
influence their husbands political views
while they themselves are not yet in pos.
session OF the suffrage. what will they do
when they are legal voters, and are en-
titled to hold office? II ever the women
Of st. Louis are permitted to vote, Mrs
Franklin should be especially exempted.
Imagination recoils from the iden OF
what That spirited woman would infiict
upon her husband, If he refused to vote
for her rs Justice of the Peace.

A Discovery ABOUT CoRN.-In this
thinking and observant age, new ideas
and discoveries are constantly being
made.
An intelligent and reliable farmer, who
has for many years been making expert
mente with corn, has discovered an i'm
portance and value in replanted corn,
which is quite novel and worthy of pub
lication. We have always thought re-
planted corn was of little consequence; /;
he replants. whether it is needed or not
or rather he plants two weeks after the
crop is planted, about every ff:eenth
row each way. Heaays: If the weather
becomes dry during the filling time, the
silk and tassel both become dry and
dead. In this condition, if it should be-
come reasonable. the silk revives and re.
news, but the tassel does not recover.
Then for want of pollen the new silk is
unable to fulfill the Office for which it
was designated. The pollen from tho
replanted corn is then ready to supply
the silk, and 6lling is completed. He
says nearly all the abortive ears, 80 COM
mon in the corn crop, are caused BY the
wana of pollen. and that he has known
ears 10 double their size in the second
filing.

Where all day drips the water;
The old wife, in her faded frock,
Still knits ana mods by the cottage clock;
But ahl the little daughter!
I see no more her loving eyes,
hear no more her low replies
Alas, alasl the daughter!
At dawn the birds begin to sing,
And 0'er and DER the water
The swaiiow Hits with winking wing;
The old folks wake with the waking spring:
But ahl the little daughter!
No more to list the cuckoo's call
She roams the woods Of the Manor Hall.
Alas, alasl the daughter!
Midsummer brought the oung Earl baol,
The lord OF wood and water;

His eyes were w0ndrous bold and black

He whispered. "Trust me, Of mine own!"
She wept, 81 live for thee alonei"
Alas, alasl the daughteri

The mothers eyes were dim with tears-

Looks up with wild bewiidered stare?

But ahl the little daughteri

With tangled ksir and altered ewes

On the march OF his division from Co.

pike in his bare feet, which we're bruised
and bleeding. Calling the soldier to his
horses side, (the General being mount

which. being done. be requested the
soldier to put them on his own bleeding
feet. 4tl
This the soldier refused to do, saving:
"They are your boots, General, and not
NINE"
'.Put them on, sir." replied General
Clebnrne: II order you to do 80 at
at once; I am yonr superior officer and
will have my orders obeyed- besides.

The soldier obeyed, and in few hours
afterwards the brave and elfsac-ificing

RAILROAD NEWS.


The interru ption of communication be-
tween the Pacific coast and the east by
the snow blockade on the Union Pacific
railroad, has awakened new interest in
California as well on as this side OF the
mountains, in bshalt of q more southern
route, Hence, the necessity for the lease
to the Southern Security company of the
Memphis snd Charleston railroad, which
connected with the Atlantic sesbosrd by
Virginia lines. VIII be extended Vfd the
Little Rock, Fort Smith and Fort Gibson
railroads to the Pacific. Memphis is par
ticuIarly interested in this movement,
and would, If she could, sustain by
money, as she does by her voice, the Ia
b0rs Of Msi0r Wicks and his cos6jutors.
But not only Memphis, the whols u
try is interested in 1t. The Grenada
Miss Sentinel says: "We agree with
the Mobile Register that the experience
Of the present winter has demonstrated
tins need of q southern railroad route to
the Pacific Up to this season, the Union
Pacific rosd has escaped the anticipated
dangers Of being ~'snowed-up' in the win
ter months. But now the perils
have been fully realized. There has
been an almost constant success
sion Of Interruptions every tsw days"
And this view Is still more forcibly ex-
pressed in the following from the Salt
Lake Tribune: 1.-THE experience ofthe last
few months with the Union Pacific rail-
road, has demonstrated the absolute ne
cessiGy Of a more %southerly route which
can be traVersed at all seasons OF the
year, without the possibility Of being
b~lockaded. The people ofthe West having
become accustomed to the convenience
and benefits Of fast mail and freight IA
~cilities, cannot nov be expected to endure
the annoyance and psCunlary loss Incl
dent to an interruption Of al business
from a snow blockade. It is clearly per-
ceivabls that the geographical position of
the Northern Pacific railroad forbids the
possibility Of its being any great benefit
30 Salt Lake City and the vast extent
of country south of us, as an over
land route. gnd It is by no means
proved that tbis road viii be
less liable to interruption than the
present Union Pacific line. What we
need Is 8 continuation of the road running
weBt from 81. Louis on the thIrty-hfth
parallel. A junction formed with our
Utah Southern road at some convenient
point south, and the Utah Central already
connecting with the Central Pacific route,
would give us q through route available
every day in the year, and Lrsversing al
most the entire distance q rich mineral
and agricultural country. st. Louis cap
italiEts and business men have now the
opportunity presented Of securing q very
large and increasing market In The west
by assisting with their vast capital to
build the great middle route of the conti-
nsnt." If the lease Of the Charleston rail-
road is effected on the 2lst of February,
al the ends desired by the Salt Lake peO-
pie will be carried out by a route more
southerly, and therefore safer than that Of
St. Louis, which suffers ss much nom
frost and snow as Chicago herself.

4 FIGHT.


ON Thursday night Cormack Higgins, q
stauneh, old-fashioned character, met
some friends whom he induced to go with
him into 8 saloon, at the corner Of Main
and Winchester streets, where they
played a few games of cards. After 8
lapse of two hours the plsy came 20 an
end, and Cormack having q small bill to
pay, did not feel inclined to draw out
his pocketbook IN such company, and
therefore wished to get away without
paying the reckoning" He was leaving
the house without saying anything, when
be was outside the door the bsrkesper
called him back and wanted to be paid
for their liquor, the bill amounting TO
shout i've dollars. He pulled out his
pocketbook and offered to pay the
acharges," when one of the barkeepers
knocked him down with q blow Of a mall
let, and the other pitched into him on
general principles. The fight was long
and 6ercs. A pistol OF dangerous ealibre
was drawn to shoot the " stutin !"
out of Higgins, but bsing a powerful
man, he was not dismayed. On the con-
trary, he fought boldly, grasped the pis-
toll with great vlgor, and had the instru-
ment doubled in two bsfore 1t fred. Two
persistent fellows being, however too
much for one, they managed to thrust
him out doors, having closed up the es-
tabiishment and put out the lights before
doing SO. Deputy Sheriff Murphy, hear
ing Of the row proceeded to the scene,
and saw the lights extinguishsd before
reaching the place. He could not
get in when he arrived on the ground.
Then he went out to Squire Millsr's
house in Chslsea and had a warrant
sworn out against the parties inside the
house; armed with this instruments, ne
proceeded to the bsr-room and arrested
Locrenis and another party and brought
them to the stationhouse. Squire Miller
entered into the merits of the case yestsr-
day, and found from the testimony thst
Higgins had besn robbed OF $500 in that
house, so he bound one Locrsnia and his
barkeeper to appear before the criminal
court in the sum of four Thousand dollars
each
