The main points of Judge Spaf-
ford's argument to the Returning
Board OF Louisiana in favor of open
sessions are il the functions of the
board are ministerial merely, there
can be no objection to applying the
rules Of arithmetic to the counting
and tabnlating of the votes in pub
lie and il the functions of the
board are Judicial as we'll as minis
terial. then every precedent and all
considerations of fairness demand
that the adjudication shall be before

SINGULAR DISAPPEARANCE.
A Wife and Mother Suddenly De.
serts Her Husband and Child.

For few days past the leading
topic of conversation in domestic
circles has been, next to the probable
defeat of Tilden, the mysterious dis
appearance OF a wife and mother of
more than common accomplishments
and good social standing, from her
home in Silver City. Various rumors
have been afoat since first the wom-
an was missed, connecting her name
with that of we'll known business
man of Silver who is at present in
San Francisco, and involving some
other gentlemen of our town in what
promised to develope into a piece of
scandal of various ramiications. We
have cautiously withheld mention
ing any of the circumstances, waiting
the while for some positive evidence
to turn up. No positive evidence
as to whether there has been an elope-
ment or not having come to hand, we
proceed to lay all that is known of
the occurrence before the public.
THE HUSBANDS STORY.
The TINES reporter called upon
the bereaved husband last evening
aud asked him to dlvulge. He did
so freely. He did not think that his
wife had gone off with anybody else,
but the suddenness and informally
of her departure was puzzle. On
Thursday last she, with his consent,
went to Virginia, to see friend of
theirs from whom she expected to
borrow some money. She went up
to Virginia in the Dayton stage, and
her husband has not seen her since.
She left all her best clothes in the
house, and had on when she disap-
peared the dress of lady who oc-
cupied adjoining apartments. The
man whom she went to see in Nir
ginia saw her there and supposed
that she returned home. 1t was as
certained that she pawned watch
with c street broker for $50, and it
was further ascertained that she pur-
chased a ticket at Gold Hill for Car
son. All trace of her ends at the
Gold Hill depot.
THE woMAN's CHARACTER.
The names of the parties we with
hold in Difference to the entreaties of
friends. The woman left child
seventeen months old with her hus-
band. She formerly taught school,
latterly taught music, and came here
litul NoAuSStiSQt, NhNtO SHS "as
married to her husband four years
ago. Her husband feels confident
that she will return to him again,
and imagines that her departure was
4 mere ecceutricity of conduct,
which she evinced before in small
degree. The supposition that the
woman eloped with the merchant is
partly forbid by the circumstance OF
the pawning related above, although
the coincidence of simultaneous de-
parture has Il strongly opposite
force. Judgment, however, should
be suspended until the parties are
able to explain. Reports were rife
yesterday rejecting severely upon
tue character of hitherto honorable
persons. Future events may show
them TO have been wholly untounded
in any juStitiable facts. The woman
seems to have gone altogether on her
own hook.

4 Practical Use Of Dogs.

1t is fact, perhaps not generally
known, that there is a firm doing
business in San Francisco who purchase
the thousands Of dogs slaughtered by
the Pound master of that city, or that
may have been otherwise killed, for
which they pay forty cents each. The
carcasses are conveyed to the manu-
factory at South San Francisco, where
the skins are removed and sold to the
tanneries, the hair taken off and resold
to plasterers, the -hida- tanned mada -ins
to gloves and sold in the market. The
denuded carcass is than thrown into
huge cauldron and boiled until the bones
are easily separated from the flesh,
when they are removed and. sold to
sugar reGneries, where they are ground
to fine spowder and used to clarity
sugar. The oil that rises to the sur
face ofthe boiling mass is SKINNED
off and manufactured into cod liver oil,
and the remainder is used for the pur>
pose Of fattening hogs.
