The Soldiers Homestead Law.

THERE seems to be some misunder-
standing regarding the amendments
which passed Congress last session in re-
gard to the Soldiers Homestead law. The
amendments proposed were various and
important, but they all failed to pass ex
cept the following, which embodies all
the change that has been made in the
Homestead law; "That, any person en-.
titled, under the provisions of the fOrego-
ing sections, to enter a homestead, who
may have heretofore entered, under the
Homestead laws quantity of land less
than 160 acres shall be permitted to enter
so much land as, when added to the
quantity previously entered, shall. not ex-
ceed 40 acres" That is, that whereas
the law of 1872 permits soldiers TO enter
homesteads on what are called double
minimum lands, or landsa within the
limits of railway grants, and whereas
many soldiers had entered eighty acres
each, they are now permitted TO enter a
whole quarter section, or 100 acres of such
lands o The amendment Simply doubles
the quantity OF land that may be entered

A Curious Bl,orcc Suit.

40, orling to the English law Of
| liVOrcc, u man can obtain divorce
from his wife on the ground of her
adultery, but woman cannot procure
such relief on this ground alone. BY
proving her husbands infidelity she
can procure what Is called II "judicial
SeparatiOn,p Dut TO obtain divorce she
must prove cruelty or desertion us well
as adultery on the husbands part. A
ease curiously illustrative of these dis
tlnctions came, not long since, before
the Divorce Court. In November,
lS6N, II wife had instituted Il suit for a
Judicial scparat, o on the ground ofthe
husbands adultery, and in that suit she
obtained decree. In the course of
last year she instituted Il suit for the dis
solution OF her marriage on the ground
of cruelty committed by her husband
p 'evious to the institution of the
former suit, and of his subsequent
adultery. Both the adultery and
cruelty were proved, but it was
argued by the Attorney General that
the wife knowing of the cru
city, and having failed to il
corporate it in the first suit, she was
not now entitled to fall back upon it,
and that she was not, in consequence,
entitled to decree of dissolution. The
Wite's statement was, that when she
Instituted the first suit she did not
wish dissolution of her marriage;
that she loved her husband, and i'm the
hope that he would reform and amend
his ways, she was anxious to leave the
door open to enable him to return to
her. The Judge said that he considered
the conducbof the wife ofa very meri-
torious character, and unless there was
some general principle of law which
stood between her and the relief she
sought, he thought she was entitled to
1t. He could find no such principle in
existence and he pronounced decree
n>i IN favor of the wife. \ "decree
nisi' means decree of divorce, unless
some very sufficient cause to the con-
Lrary be shown within six months, in
default of which the ''decree nisi" be-
comes n decree absolute.

Recently we Il .,tioned the
Importance of ouf prairie farm ers
planting timber. Until u stock law
hall be put in force, keeping all live
domestic animals inside Of pastures,
we are well aware it is not practicable
to plant seed, and rear trees outside to
any great extent. But in the mean
time, suppose that every farmer shall
grow o pecan tree Oh each ten or fifteen
feet inside OF his fsAeD. The number
would he considerable, cost no labor,
and in five to six years the nuts would
begin to be q source of revenue. 1t is
well-knnwn that this delicious nut,
when borne by trees in the prairie and
ON uplands, is greatly superior to those
grown in timbered bottom lands. Thus
planted they beautify the farm, afford
pleasant shade to the weary farmer,
and serve rs great protection to corn
and wheat against the prevalent sum
mer winds.
So soon Us live stock shall be kept i'll
enclosures, then timber may he sue
cessfully grown, merely by planting the
seed anywhere on our prairies The
increase of timber also gradually tends
to shorten summer drouths.
Pecan, black walnut and bois dare
are all of rapid growth, and In fifteen
to twenty years become valuable for
the wood. The two former are valua-
bic for their nuts Experienced work
men here say the walnut of this sec
ton is-the finest they have ever seen,
and polishes like mahogany.
