A somewhat singular case involving the
force Of Connecticut divorce laws was before
the Superior Court il Worcester, Mass, May
2Slh. 1t appears, according to the Norwich,
Conn. Bulletin, that the first wife Of Dr.
Lyman A. Abbott procured divorce from
hlm in the Massachusetts Courts six years
ago, he being II resident Of Connecticut at the
time. The following year he contracted mar
riage with another woman in Worcester.
where be has since resided, and An indict-
ment for polygamy was found against him.
The prosecution held that according to the
laws Of Massachusetts, Abbott had no right
to marry again. 1t was claimed in defense,
however, that he was SO entitled by the re-
vised statutes of Connecticut, Of which State
he was bona fde resident al the time Of the
divorce, and that he brought this status or
acquired right with him when h- subsequently,
moved to Worcester. The defense MAS sus-
tained by the court, on the ground that the
divorce court which separated th- fist wife
must have known Ahhnt's priviegrxa xa Con-
nec,cnt man, and the Massachusetts statutory
Of second marriage without
leave clearly except instances like this.

toryial lNeyada) Enternr;se.

From the Territorial .Neyada) Enterprise
The Sacramento Bee finds space 70: this
item:
There is now en- roGte for San Francisco,
via Cape Horn, from the ports of Boston and
New York, five thousand nine hundred and
eighty barrels of whisky, which have been
out from twenty-nine to one hundred and
forty~two days. This, with the average guam
tity made III California Give thousand gallons
per day. give us u total OF one million seven
hundred Thousand gallons to worry through
the ensuing year, with ONLY about three gaI-
Ions for each man, woman and child in the
State Of California.
And yet people say times arc hard because
officers are corrupt, and cry out FOX reform.
And yet that whisky would not come TO this
coast it there was not {. demand for il here.
AS it is, il means tax on the people here of
many millions which they can lily afford to
pay. It means more than tax on their
purses-it means the useless work of many
thousand lAcn in distributing it: it means the
consuming of thousands of valuable honra in
absorbing it, it means the taking from legit-
mate toll of many industrious men; it means
distress III families, corruption III politics,
new inmates for the asylums and prisons OF
the coast; it mems that the most insidious
enemy ever permitted on earth is approach
ing with mighty reinforcements to PROSTATE
the health, wealth, happiness and prosperity
Of men; to make the ties Of kindred and Of
honor grow weak in the nobleat breasts; to
give an unreal solace and false courage tD
those who seek excuses to justify wrongs
committed or prcmeditated; work for law
yers and doctors, coroners and sections. It
means that, preach good and practice virtue
as we may, this enemy stands smiling
On every corner to charm the eye and poison
at once the bodies and the souls of men; and
that while public opinion justifes its unlimited
sale, we must remain at least partially tainted;
and that for Us to cry out against corrupt
officers is hypocritical cry, for the people
are corrupt, and honest officers would not
properly represent their constituencies.

The Ruins Of an Ancient City Of Ken
tuckY.


Green Bolts is the owner of farm at Peel
ed Oak, ON Slate creek, noted section of
Bath county, and this spring, in blowing up
about sixty acres of level land, he discovered
the ruins of q city-a city Of regular streets,
curbed with stone and evincing higher Or
der of architectural knowledge and greater
civilization than any other prehistoric remains
yet found in this country. Many years ago
n faint trace of u similar city was n",iced in
Montgomery county, near Mount Sterling;
but the owners of the land having little taste
for back researches, almost or entirely oh
liberated the evidence to make room for corn
growing. This being II fresh discovery we
have no doubt it will 'e visited by Professor
Shaler and the arche'l'gi~ts and prehisto-
rians of the country at large. The land ad-
