GOVERNOR SAFFORD'S DIyORCI

GOVERNOR SAFFORD'S DIVORCE. -
Our readers will doubtless remember
an account \ short time ago of Mrs.
A. P. X. Stafford, wife of the Governor
of Arizona, having brought suit in
San Di go county, CAL, for divorce
from her husban on the ground of
bad usage and desertion. In her
complaint she alleged that h" treated
her with cOldness and neglect, and
finally notified her that it was his in-
tentiOn never again to live with her.
That she had made repeated efforts to
induce him to return to her or to
allow her to go to him, but all to no
purpose. as he had firmly resolved to
abandon her and her child. In late
dispatch from AriZOnf we see that the
Governor determined to fOrestall the
divorce suit OF his wife by prevailing
upon the Legislature OF that Territory
TO grant him divorce, which it did
ON the 18th of January. Now, ii the
matters alleged in Mrs. Safford's bill
be true, and he has not attempted to
deny them, as we are aware of, then
we think the Legislature of Arizona
must be composed OF very accoinno-
dating material. as he could not make
Out IL case for divorce in any State
m court in Chri>tendom. His OBJ
Eect in obtaining Il divorce in that
Territory prior to the granting of Il
divorce to her in California, was.
doubtless, to cut off her claim to ali
mOnv. for which she prayed in her
vomplaint.-PiOche Record.

CATAsTROPHE-LastTh Thursday

CATASTROPHE Last Thursday,
SAYS the Humboldt Register of the
18th, a woeiul sight presented
itself to our citizens. In tie
streets, in the yards, in the ALLEYS,
on the sidewalks, everywhere, and
in every direction, scattered all
over town could lie seen the NOR
tai remains of defunct cats. Old
eats, young cats, taby eats. white
eats, Thomas cats. feminine cats,
Maltese cats, b ack cats, yellow
eats, and the whole catalogue of
cats were represented in this hor-
rhle catastrophe. Some cateran
had during the night distributed
about the catholics of town a
Quantity of catalytic beef.teak,
which soon forever stopped the
caterwauliny of about fourteen
Egyptian catacombs full OF cata-
leptic cats.

PROSPECTING.

PROSPECTING.
Me buckler and shield have been brok n
i'm weary and worn with the fight,
yet hopefully seek 1or n token
To xu,d, me from darkness to light.
There ar, brighter spots of earth yet un.
Fair IL Ids whcrc no mortal hath trod,
And dark, dismal ha Ilts SO fOrSaken
That they catch not the smiles Of a
God!
There are spirits with love undiscovered,
Like treasures oeep sunk inthe MIN:
Rut they may be reclaimed ana recov.
cred,
And gleam with rapture divivina.
There are dreams in these spirits unwrit-
4 ten,
Fright thoughts that have never been
told,
And hopes that hav, sadly been smitten
That once were as brilliant as gold.
There are sweets that have never been
tasted
Wrapped up in the opulent earth,
And bright sunny smiles that are wasted
Like fragrance, that's lost in the dearth.
There are lips that have never met
Though pOuting, and fresh rs the rose
That have waited in life Tor its blisses,
And perhaps they will wait till its close.
There are songs that have never been ut
tered,
That sleep in the silence OF years.
Ard thunders that never have mutiered
In clouds that were wasted in tears;
But | know there's place in creation,
space by tn" tempt untrOd,
WhAra the Spir can gain elevation
And climb up the ladder TO God.

ly troubled at one time to get his
quarterly installment. He had
called II number of times, bur
each time had been put "tf with

to his steward and told him he

steward, "you preach for money !;

A Manly speech.

Gov. McEne'y y, in a recent address at New
Orleans, says: President Grant, as cl Fl
magistrate Of the nation, has assumed the
high and grave responsibility Of foisting mp
on the people Of this State ausurpation with
out precedent in this or any other free
country, and he is answerable before the bar
OF public opinion for this high-handed meas
ure. The President, with the army and navy
at his command, has the physical power to
coercc the people of this State into any line
Of policy he may be pleased to dictate. and il
would be folly and madness to intcrpose re
sistance likely to bring up a conflict with
national authority, ret the deeply fixed senti-
ments of irrcpvssiblc hostility in the minds
AID hearts Of an outraged people against the
yilest usurpation ever attempted to be fasten-
cdupon frccmen will find their full scope
and vent. advise that these manly and
patriotic sentiments take form and shape
through all moral and legal agencies possible
to be derived. Meantime, trust peace and
order may reign supreme throughout Tile
State, and that all our industrial pursuits will
be unenbarrassed by political difficulties. .
And especially do urge upon the peopleioi
the two races, who are numerically nearly
equal iii this State, to cultivate one toward
another nothing but a feeling of amity, good
will, and mutual understanding.

An important decision, was recently made
by a Virginia Judge, in the case of Church
man VS.. Shelton-being an action of debt for
$500 from bond dated before the WAR, bear
Il ing interest from date until paid. The de-
fendant moved to have the interest during
the war a5ated under recent act Of Assembly
The Court refused to entertain the motion on
the ground. that to do so would be to impair
the concract, and would, therefore, be UNI
constitutional.
