riage is void only from the time its nullity
is .adjudged by a proper tribunal" He
was then prosecuted for bigamy, but the
law provides that emo person shall be held
guilty of bigamy whose husband or wife
has been absent for FIVE successive years
without being known to such person as
being living" So he sgain escaped. A
fourth suit was finally brought to dissolve
the second marriage. That failed because
not brought by one of the interested par
ties They were appealed to, but refused
to take action. At public meeting of
the now fairly frantic citizens it was pro-
posed to petition the Legislature to pass a
special act dissolving Oade's last marriage.
But Oades, who was present, Immediately
arose to address the meeting, and told
them that that was no go, for by the
twentieth section of the fourth article of
the Constitution of California it is ex-
pressly provided that ono divorce shall be
granted by the Legislature" AS Oades
produced the book itself, this argument
was unanswerable. 1t was then proposed
that the Legislature should be petitioned
to call constitutional convention for the
purpose of annulling one or the other of
0ade's marriages; but Oades produced the
Constitution of the United States and read
the tenth section of the first article, which
expressly provides that "No State " y
shall pass any law y n impairing the
obligation of contracts" "anG marriage, :"
he said, "was well settled to bea contract,
and therefore no earthly power could de-
prive him of his vested right in his two
wives. And thus the case stands at pres
ent-one of the most remarkable examples
of legal and social contradiction ever known
in a civilized country.

APyrOtbelchnIc Story.

A Wilkinson county Ca, man carried
home some fireworks for his son and heir,
and his wife undertook to superintend the
display, The husband protested that he
would fix the tricks, but sarcastic remark
from the partner of his joys, to the effect
that some men thought they knew every
thing, silenced him. The woman then pro-
ceeded to show her son how it was DONE
She first seized Roman candle and grimly
proceeded to ignite it. The fuse was damp,
and to facilitate matters the woman famed
the spark into life by blowing on it, The
response of the candle was too sudden to
contemplate.
The front hair and eyebrows of the ad-
venturous female disappeared as if by magic,
and the candle fell into the collection of
fireworks, and proceeded to fire itself off
with great exactness, igniting the other
projectiles. a casual sly-rocket SKINNED
along the grass, causing the family cat to
make an ascent Of the nearest tree with
great violence, while fiery serpent took
refuge in the husband s bosom. The author
of all the trouble, discovering that her
clothes were on fire, sailed around the house
with as much earnestness as the liveliest
pyrotechnic, and it was some time before
the frightened husband could arrest her
wild career. Later, the son and heir was
found, under the house with the back of his
jacket burned out. The woman is now
an invalid, and the man writes to friend
that he never had a more enjoyable New
Year.

A Midnight Sensation.

TNHERE was big excitement near How
Il elman's store, on East Eighteenth
street, few nights ago. An aged couple
and a bull dog reside there, and on the eve
ming in question the peace and quiet of the
trio were disturbed by the aggressions Of a
vagrant COW that "hooked" open tho gate
and entered the enclosure. The old gen
tleman heard the noise made by the COW,
jumped out of bed, grabbed bis cane, loosed
Tiger, and attacked the COW. Now this
COW had varied experience with ali sorts
dogs throughout the city, aud was espec-
tally proficient in the art Of handling bull
dog. So, just as the old man caught the
bovine by the tail, the said bovine lifted
whisked out the gate with the old man
still hanging to her caudal appendage, and
beating her to his hearts content with his
heavy cane. The old man and the cow
went flying down the street, and Tiger,
after turning somersault or two in the
air, came down kersouse into the cistern
in the yard, the top of which was open.
Now the old lady, noticing that the noise
in the yard had ceased, and wondering at
the prolonged absence of her husband,
stepped out into the yard to see what was
the matter. She heard a splashing of the
water in the cistern, and, horror of horrors,
she thought it was the old man.
Yell well, her shrieks would have
drowned out the sound of Gabriel's trump
ct had that angel entered into competition
with her. The neighbors, alarmed at her
cries, gathered around her at once, and in
quite crowd. my husbands in the
cistern ~ she cried. "He can't swim p
ooh, he'll be drowned, he'll be drowned"
and away went two or three for ladder.
The ladder was brought, placed in the els
tern, and q man descended, just as the old
gentleman rushed in at the gate. He had
heard block or two away, as he was re-
turning from his chase after the cow, that
some one had fallen into The cistern at his
house, and he believed it was his wife, for
who else could be about thereP Seeing
the crowd of sparsely-dressed neighbors
around the cistern (the old lady had
swooned away by this time and been car
ried into the house), he ran into the crowd
crying in the greatest agony, "Save heri
for Gods sake Oh, my poor wife =,
"Save the ID" exclaimed three OR four
in breath "your wife says that you are
in the cistern." 800
By this time the old lady had recovered
sufficiently to resume her hysterical
screaming again, and commenced yelling
at greater rate than ever, just as the man
who went down into the cistern crawled
out and exclaimed, "It's nothing but that
blamed dog y
The night was cold, the neighbors had
not taken time to dress, and their bodies
were cold as their indignation was warm
when they learned what had disturbed
their rest and dragged them from their
beds at such an untimely hour Of the
night. They had one consolation, how
ever-Tiger was as dead dog as ever
breathless lay.

% One of the best illustrations Of what
tact, pluck, and energy will do for man
is given in the history of Samuel Bryan, Of
Cadiz, Ohio. Bryan enlisted at the open
ing of the war as drummer boy, being 90
years old. In short time he secured a
discharge, and in little while thereafter a
situation as clerk in the sixth auditors Of
fee in Washington. Here he was placed in
charge of the British mail desk. Becoming
acquainted with the foreign mail service,
he was struck with the fact that while
Japan had introduced our internal revenue
and agricultural systems, she had made no
effort to establish postal department. He
determined to make an effort toward doing
this himself. He had an interview with
Minister Delong, met with encouragement,
and finally having secureda a temporary sit
uation on steamship plying between San
Francisco and Yokohama, left for Japan.
He arrived in the latter city with but twen-
ty-fiye cents in his pocket, and met with
many difficulties in his work; but finally the
government organized postal bureau and
made Mr.. Bryan special commissioner to
negotiate treaty with the United States,
Great Britain, France, and Germany, at a
salary of $4,000 per annun, all expenses
borne, and ASSISTANTS and clerks to help him
in his works. Mr.. Bryan has accomplished
his mission, SO farasthis country Is concern
cd, and sailed for Havre on Saturday last.
Though not the nominal, he ID the real head
Of the postal department for Japan, and Is
very naturally and properly elated with his
success. 'su '''N f'af'''' N.'' "i
