Divorce I'm San Francisco.

The following divorce item, taken from

many in this city aud vicinity:
"On December "a, Mrs. Alvinza Hay
ward filed bill Of complaint ia the fourth
district against her husband, Alvinza Hay
ward, the, great capitalist, praying for a.
divorce on grounds of desertion and for
division OF the common property. The
complaint alleges that they were married
in Milford, Jefferson county, Wis, in l845,
and lived together as man and wife until
the 7th OF November, 1874. Mrs. Hay ward
further alleges that since their marriage Mr..
Hayward has acquired real and personal
property to the value Of Sl0,0o0o00. The
answer to the complaint was filed on the
same day, and acknowledged before the
same notary. No denials are made, and The
document contains the simple admission
that be is possessed Of considerable proper
ty, all of which belongs to the community
existing between himself and wife, the
precise or approximate value of which he is
unable to state. He joins with the plaintiff
in the prayer contained in her complaint,
that SO much of the property as may be just
under the circumstances be assigned to him.

The Maintenance of Health.

The maintenance of health is often more
difficult thar its recovery Vitlated con-
dilions of the atmospheric, unhealthy oceu-
pations, extremes OF heat or cold, and con-
slant exposure to rough weather, are all so
many provocatons of disease. There is but
one sure way OF effectually guarding the
system when thus subjected to influences
preiudicial to heal h, and that is to estab-
lish, by judicious tonic and Alternative medi-
cation, vigor of the body and regularity of
it's functions. The properties of an invig
GRANT and corrective, are happily combined
in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which, at
the same time that it infuses unwonted vi
tally into the system, overcomes all ten
dency OF the stomach, liver bowels and uri-
nary organs to deviate from regularity in
the discharge of functions upon which the
welfare Of the entire physical organization
is dependent Health cannot be more eff

An A static Visitor.

Last Friday We had the pleasure of sn
Interview, at the residence of Rev. Father
Corby, Of St Bernard church, with the
Rev. f Bar Shimon. Vicar General,
Catholic ecclesiastic from Chadea, Asia
Minor His place Of residence in that far
off and comparative V unknown country is
Sadis He was accompanied by iis brother
John, sub-deacon in the church, Both
are genuine specimens in appearance and
chan acterislcs Of the country they hail
from. They are intelligent and vivacious,
and can converse freely in several languages,
but English and German are not in their
vocabulary. The cor versa;;on was carried on
in latin, Father Corby acting as enterpre-
ter for the party present. Rev. L. Bar
Skimen has been travelling ia rough this
country TOR about a year and the object Of
his mission i. the collection of money in
cid of the suffering people of bis country.
In the course of the conversation between
Rev. Bar Shimon and his visitors, he made
an assertion which lacks confrrna lion from
all the history that we are acquainted with,
and the assertion was this: That tobacco
has been raised and used by the inhabitants
Asia Minor for more than sevenhundred
years. If this be true it overthrows alto
gether the claim of Sir " alser Raleigh that
tobacco was first discovered among the IN
dams of Virginia, and introduced into Eu-
rope By him, less than 3ooyears ago Rev.
. Bar Simon seems to feel quite certain that
his statements correct, and if so, it GER
tainly contradicts theory about tobacco
pretty well established in the minds of those
acquainted with the subject.
