The Fickleness Of Man.

A late case of breach of promise before
the Liverpool Assizes illustrates the tickle
ness of man. Mr.. George Henry Wilkes
became satisfied that his wife was not the
kind of woman for him. and so pro-
cured a divorce. Shortly after. he met
Miss Mutual TO meet Miss Mutual was TO
love her. and Wilkes was infatuated. He
proposed. aud was accepted. The we'd
ding day was fixed. The young lady was
happy. Wilkes was jubilant. They were
To have been married on the llth of Octo-
Der last; but. by an unlucky chance.
Wilkes went up TO London. There he saw
his former wife. The seductive smiles of
his prior partner proved n effective now a.
when she captured him yeas before. and,
10 make long story short. Wilkes sur
rendered. They went straightway 10 a
priest and were married. While they
were rcveling i'm their secondhand bliss.
poor Miss Mutual sat in the shadows at
home sorrowing for the lost one. Finally
her bruised and mangled feelings reused
her to action, and She sued Mr.. George
Wilkes for breach of promise, laying her
damages at 10000. The jury heard both
sides. and thinking that George Henry
had been carrying things a little too far
brought in verdict for the plaintiff in the
sum of f3.0O0. This George Henry signi-
fled his willingness to pay. for the gratifi-
cation of having the matter finally settled,

FAILURES IN BUSINESS. following
from Pomeroy's Democrat contains much
encouragement in small space to strug-
Cling humanity
The man who has never failed in bust
ness cannot possibly know whether he is
honest or not, he cannot possibly know
he has any grip" in him, or is worth a
button. 1t is the man who fails and
then rises, who is really great in his
way.
Peter Cooper failed in making hats,
failed as a cabinet maker, locomotive
builder, and grocer; but as often as he
failed he "tried and tried again, until he
could stand upon his feet alone, then
crowned his victory by giving million
of dollars to help the boys in time to
come.
Horace Greeley tried three or four
lines of business before he founded the
New York Tribune, and made it worth q
million of dollars.
Patrick Henry failed at everything he
undertook, until he made himself the
orator of his age and nation.
The founder of the New York Herald
kept on failing and sinking money for
ten years, and then made one Of the
most profitable newspapers on earth.

of affairs in Lincoln county, New Mexico.
Bodies of armed men patrol the country,

been killed and half dozen wounded.
Two men were found murdered in
Ruldosa river. A ball was going on in

armed with rifles, entered the ballroom
and commenced shooting. Many shots
were fired, resulting in killing four men
and severely wounding another. A wo-
man was also dangerously wounded. The

The SAN Francisco CHRONICLE VS.. THE
SPoRTs.- This is the way the Carson
Appeal states the case:
We don't know whether the sports are
wise in taking this course to diminish
the circulation and thus damage the in
fiuence of the Chronicle, but they are, at
least, doing a very natural thing by pur-
suing this course. The gulf which lies
between a professional gamblers moral
ity and that of the Chronicle people is
not very wide-although the superiority
in kind is probably on the side of the
sport-and when such a persistent pur-
suit Of the iaro-dealers as the Chronicle
keeps up comes to be gagged by the mo-
raj test, it looks like mean and merce-
nary persecution. 1t is like Satin re-
buking sin. So long as the Chronicle
sticks to its legitimate role of news-mon-
ger nobody has any cause Of hostility
against it; but when it turns informer
and sets itself up as detective, and,
what is worse, takes to preaching moral,
ethics to class of people who are in all
respects superior to its own social status,
it is pretty near time its sporting patrons
should withdraw their support, and in.
duce their friends and associates to fol-
low suit. The fact is the sports know by
much the same relation TO respectable
journalism that three card monte sharp
! does to respectable faro dealer; and
with commendable self-respect they re-
pudiate its services as reiormer.
