The Harrisburg correspondent of til
Pittsburg Leader, graphically describes ho'
an application for divorce between two un
happily mated Crawford county people wa
put through the Legislature on the eve o
adjournment. Its report is Photographic
and is as follows:
"Tap, tap" of the gavel. ''This, ,
shouts Mr.. Speaker, "is the Senate bill No
lS5, entitled an act to dissolve the marriag,
contract between John and Catharine Schu
Ter, etc. Shall the bill be"
"Mr. Speaker
"The gentleman from Crawford"
"Mr Speaker, this bill is a meritorioui
one. have charge of it. Catherine Schu-
Ter, the complainant, resided for many
years in Mea willie. She was respected a.

aye, aye, aye, aye" from all parts o.
the already bored house.
The gentleman from Crawford takes the
hint and sits down.
Speaker.-"ShaIl this bill be read mo-
by title" ("Aye, aye"') ''Shall it be
considered read?"
"Aye, aye"'
''Shall the bill pass?'.
"Ayew (multi,udinou-).
'Carried."
And Catherine and John were twain again
as easily as rolling of a log.
Delahay.
Things are looking very dark for Judge
Delahay, the United States District Judge
for the State of Kansas. We have long
been acquainted with the Judge, and have
always known him as kind-hearted man,
possessing sufficient legal ability to ill his
place but for the fact of his insrdinaie use
of intoxicating liquors. As drunksrd he
has ten thousand times disgraced the position
SO generously given him by his friend, the
great Lincoln. Three years ago We were one
of thirteen in the State Senate that saved him
from his disgrace. For the FAKE of his
family, and upon his promises for better, his
friends stood BY him. We see that the House
Judiciary Committee have been holding a
session for the purpose Of sitting the charges
made against Delahay. We do not think
Judge Delahay guilty Of any malfeasance in
office, but because of his h:bitual drunken
ness he should be promptly removed from
the high and important position which he
has SO long and persistently disgraced. 1t IL
due the State, and no further parley should
be tolerated. -Wichita Eagle.
THE TINES. Leavenworth, chronicles the
Inauguration in that city of much needed
and long projected enterprise. A company
is forming, and already embraces some Ofthe
solid men Of the place, for the erection and
operation Of reduction works in that city,
which will rely upon Colorado chiefly for
supplies of the anriferous and argentiferous
quartz. The TIMES, in a very sanguine ex-
animation OF the enterprise, concludes that
a capital Of 81 ,O00, 900, and workmen to the
number Of thousand or more, could find
profitable employment in Leavenworth in
the business OF crushing, separaiing, and
otherwise manipulating Colorado ores. Mr..
David Griffith. who has invested literally
for mining the metallic treasures about
Georgetown, and who is now . resident of
the Missouri river metropolis, is taking 4
lively interest in the organization Of the
conpany.-Rorky Aountaia Ne,es.
A New Fuel.
Will water burn? And If 80, can water
be used at a moderate cost for fuel? The
public mind of Peora, Ill. has been Of late
much exercised upon these questions. A
stranger and Yankee came to the city and
claimed that, by burning water and oil mix
ed, in it, he could heat = common cooking
stove red hot in five minutee. The proper
tons were four gallons Of oil to five gallons
of water, and with this quantity the inventor
declares that he could run a steam engine
for thirty days, heat twelve furnaces, or
light whole city With gas. The oil was
worth fifty cents barrel, and cooking, heat
ing and lighting we're thus to cost almost no
thing A stock company was started to
push the enterprise, and it was found that ny
the aid of twelve gallons Of oil, two gallons
of water could BE- evaporated. 1t didn't
promise overwhelming dividends. The
corporation disembodied itself as fast as pos
sibIe. and the inventor, packing up his gas
pines and oil cans, left Peoria to enlighten
and warm some other region.-Netr York
Tribune.
