SALT LAKE, UTAH, Feb. 26.-The deci-
sion OF Judge Mexican, on the motion for
alimony and costs Of suit in the divorce
between Ann Eliza and Brigham Young,
was rendered in the Third District Court
last evening.
The argument is elaborate, and the
legal points involved carefully dated.
Plaintiff asked divorce on the ground
of neglect and grossly i'll treatment.
Brigham replies that the parties were
not intermarried because the plaintiff
had husband living when he married
her, and defendant also had vile to
whom he was legally married.
The Judge decided defendant to pay
the plaintiff three thousand dollars tC
pay costs of prosecution and 10 pay her
lor the maintenance Of herself and two
children the further sum Of five hundred
dollars per month.

HTANLEY,a SUCCESS.

Mr., Stanley's first letter from Afril
ca shows that he has already, at the
outset Of his journey, accomplished
great work, the moral and material
importance Of which can hardly bt
exaggerated. In thirty days he ex-
plored the Ruffgi River, which DR.
Kirk reported to be not nayigable,
Mr.. Stanly, as the result Of his spir.
tied and successful voyage in the
Yarmouth yawl the Wave, informs
US that the river carries good nav
igable channel fifty miles inland and
he believes that for nearly half thai
distance the largest Mississippi
steamboat Of 5000 tons might safely
float.
Forty miles from the sea il is broad
and has general depth Of at leas
nine feet; and the waterway beyond
practicable for shallow strean
launches, extends to distance OF d
least 240 miles. Not only has Mr.
Stanley made known the existence o
this important gateway to Eastern
Africa, he has hit on the line OF th,
overland slayers, disclosing by BIZ
preliminary trip how at one strok,
the 5000 slaves annually driven ,tt
Dar Salaam and the North may b,
rescued, and thriving commercl
opened up with an industrious poo
pie inhabiting q remarkably fertil,
region. Theinfamoustrafiic now lie
at the mercy Of her majesty's squad
ron, as soon as its officers get order
from home to send boats up th,
river, and TO guard Kisu and Da
Salaam. Mr.. Stanley, by his initia
bit of-work, puts the British Consu
at Zanzibar 10 shame, and justiHe
tho belief that he is not unworthy II
continue the work begun by Living
stone. Even the scientific geogra
piers who have hitherto treated thi
young American with scant courtes,
will learn by-and.by to respect hin
| for his work.

General Frank p. Blairs rescue
from the jaws Of death, as it were
by the simple process Of the transfu-
sion Of blood, suggests unlimited
possibilities for the improvement 81
tho human race. The doctors report
that General Blair, after each infu-
sion, partook largely Of the nature
OF the person from whom the supply
Of blood was drawn. For instance
when he received q supply OF the lift
fluid from the arm OF a ahealthy young
man, who, unknown TO tho physi
clans, had been on q small spree tn,
day before, tho General immediately
became very drunk. This show

for sanctity is unassailable, and Mr.

anchorite. Tho blood OF gentle
man should be infused into the vein
Of Ulysses s. Grant For Zacl
Chandler, q teetotaler, with an un
doubted character for sanctity, SHOULD
be found, and found right away. 70

The greatest doer in these days Of
Mr.. Moulton's direct examination is
ex-Judge Fullerton, the inquisitor
for Mr.. Tilton. He is q handsome,
portly old fellow, with thin, curly
blonde hair, and boyish moustache
of the same color, and with his suav-
ity and dignifed poiiteness should
be admired OF womankind. During
four hours every day he stands with
a bunch Of note paper in his left
hand, and with his right bangles q
pair Of eye glasses when they arc
not in use. His voice is musical, and
he puts questions in a tone not al
ways loud enough to be heard by all
the lawyers, whereat he Is often
querously chided by Mr.. Evarts.
He has made nm elocutionary hit in
his reading Of the scandal letters and

into Mr.. Beecher's epistolary out
pourings Of sentiment is artistic and
telling to dramatic degree. The
phrases which have become worn in
TO by-words are revived under his
elocution into expressions Of the
most intense and solemn emotions.
There is o convenient tremor in his
voice that is very useful for pathetic
effects, and he uses ii with the dis
cretion and cleyerness OF an accom-
piished actor. When he carefully
adjusts his eye glasses and after sew
eral trials brings a document exactly
into focus, the people expect re.
ward for listening and are at once
attentive. He is not always unruifled
however, for when Mr. Evarts attacks
him he flashes up, hot and angry,
into sharp retort. He is strong in
repartee, and beats his antagonist in
the manner II not the matter Of his
personalities. Having won or lost
in the encounter, he drops easily
