ELECTION BETS IN CALIFORNIA. The
practice Of betting on elections has
grown to suoh proportions of late years
in California. that 1t has been recognized
by the Legislature as public nuisance.
Persons who may be disposed to shack
their opinions" on approaching political
contests, are reminded by the press OF
that State that the law declares that
every person who makes, offers or ao-
oepts any bet or wager upon the result
of any election. or upon the success or
failure of any person or candidate, or
upon the number of votes to be cast
either in the aggregate, or for any par
ticular candidate, or upon the vote to
be cast by any person, is guilty of mis-
demeanor. And this misdemeanor may
be punished by fine of not exceeding
SIS. 600. or imprisonment for term not
exceeding five years. At that price
election bets will hardly be profitable

NOVEL DIVORCE PROCESS. s.-Louisvillo
has the lead in the divorce business, and
has Just turned ont a novel piece of work
in that line. A Mrs. Burg having been
deserted by her lawful protector, John
Burg. sought to get rid Of his name and
return to the independence of the single
state. The proper officer of tho law
found John Burg, a fresh German, whose
understanding of English was very de.
fective, read him the notice of Mrs.
Burg's intentions, and handed the bewil.
dered man the paper. The officer made
the return to the court that he had
found the recreant husband and duly
served the notice. The trial took place,
and resulted in the severance of Mrs.
Burg's marital bonds, no husband ap-
pearing to disturb the smooth current of
the process. The court adjudged that
Mr. Burg should pay the fees and costs
in the suit. The officer soon appeared
before John Burg with the bill. and in.
sisted on it's immediate payment, where.
upon the facts of the case began to de.
velop themselves to the perfect under.
standing of the perplexed officer. John
had improved in English, and told the
officer that he had been making fool of
himself. that Burg was not his name,
and that he had never possessed the in
oumberance of wife. The officer made
the following return: "Since the indg.
ment herein, I have discovered that 1
served the summons in this case on an
other person named John Berg, aud not
the defendant in this suit"
Mrs. Burg has her divorce regularly
executed, and is now plain Miss Weaver,
and Mr.. Burg appears to have got rid OF
his wife without any effort or expense on
his part.
