VICTIMIzED.-- On the Eastward
bound Central Pacific passenger
train yesterday morning, the three
card monte men played their voca-
ton with splendid success. They
relieved one gentleman of 81, 400,
and others to the tune of $1,000,
making a total winning of $4,000.
This was done between Truckee and
Reno, and by Slim Jim and his
pards. Slim Jim is reckoned the
chief of the three-card boys. He is
a genuine country-looking cuss, and
no one would take him to be as
smart as he is. No doubt many Re-
NOTES are familiar with his coun-
tenance, as he has been perambulat-
ing our principal thoroughfares
every day almost for month

THE Supreme Court of California
on Friday last, in the case of Tobin
VS.. Calvin, decided that, under the
Act of 1870, entitled "An Act to pro-
tect the rights of married women in
certain cases." recovery cannot be
had against married woman for
the price of goods sold to her, unless
the woman has abandoned her hus-
band, or he or her, or the two have
separated with the intention to re-
main apart. A temporary absence
OF the wife from her husband does
not come within the meaning of the
Act. The provision of the Act il

seeded by the Civil Code.

Every one must deplore the anarchical

H.. Hudson, master of the state grange,
if he intends to allow his name to be

resign Office in the grange. The Far

We have insisted most earnestly that
partisan politics should be kept out of
the grange. We have stated frequently
our belief that the permanencc of the
grange depended upon the observation
of its expressed rule against political
discussions and political action as n
grange. On thu other hand our read
ers will bear us out in the position that
we have urged upon patrons the more
thorough observation of their political
duties. We hope to sec such earnest
and thorough political action on the
part Of the members of the grange this
fall as has never been seen. We have
not urged this because they were pa
irons, but because they were citizens.
While it is true that there is to be found
in the grange only those engaged in
agriculture, and, therefore, Il unity of
interest exists such rs is not found in
other societies, IL is also true that every
shade of political opinion may be
found in the grange, and wide differ

the pedlar, beating him in frightful man
ner, his face being almost beaten to a Jelly.
