SAN FRANCISCO, September IA.
The Bulletin this afternoon pub
fishes n remarkable statement, a col
umn in length, written by Flora NJ,
the divorced wife of George NJ. Pin
ney. She states that in bringing her
recent action against w. III. Culver, of
the Masonic Bank, +. w. Burr, of the
Clay street Bank, and Geo. NJ. Pinney.
her action was voluntary, and not, as
has been charged, ut the i%nstigation OF
Pinney's enemies, with none of whom
had she any communication whatever
with reference to the subject. She
says: My action has been aciuated
by "a sense of honor, not by any mer-
cenary motive, the recovery of my
home being a side issue, but with a de-
terminA ion to forever ALLEVIATE myself
from the thralldom and influence of a
man who has sworn his intention to
follow and curse me eternally with his
presence. Repeatedly to him, as well
to outsiders, have / expressed my in
tention of leaving the country to es
cape his persecution, hut finally aban-
doned such a mode of escape, from a
conviction that l could not avoid it
save by appealing to the law and the
public for protection, that being the

l once called husband, but who had
tortured me for years; who, by his I'M
welcome presence at my house, by his
threats and insinustions tn hirelings
and friends, bad left nothing undone
to fulfill his terrible curse that he
would compromise my honor, damn
me before the world, and thus make
me subservient to his base purposes,
which, in the end, would liberate him
from The multiplicity Of charges hang
ing owe him." She then
that Crawford, her brother, had bound
himself, by an alliance with Pinney,
and has used all efforts TO induce her
to assist him in extricating Pinney
from his predicament, and hat the
conversation reported to have taken

published in the Chronicle of The 29th

She continues: | well knew the alleged

An Idyl Of the Rail.

4 Palisade correspondent of the
Eureka (Nevada) Sentinel tells this idyl
of the rail: A little incident occurred here
the other morning, on the arrival of the
Western-b bound immigrant train, that IL
lustrates the old story of love and its
stratagems. Among the passengers was
Il family from the 'hopper-devastated
State of Kansas, consisting of father and
mother, and small brood of thirteen of
assorted sexes, ages and sizes. The
oldest was plump, fair-haired girl, with
a weary look that betokened a life worn
out with q constant struggle with the
tow-headed children that had fallen to
Ter charge. A stalwart young fellow
from Maine, bound to the redwood Sec
ton of the Golden State, made the ac-
quaintance of the girl after leaving
Omaha, and the trip, SO tedious to the
ordinary passenger, became to them only
one of pleasure. Friendship ripened
into love. and the flame was mutual.
Soft glances, ardent pressures of the
hand, and delicious rides on the platform
together became daily incidents, only
interrupted by the shrill voice of the
mother, whose falsetto shrek of " Mary
Ann," recalled the daughter from her
dream of love to the stern duties OF life.
This riled the young man, and he I'M
folded n plan to the girl whereby she
could shake herself free from her sisterly
duties, and after some hesitation the
fair Mary Ann consented. On the arrival
of the immigrant train at Palisade the
couple got out of the car and incon.
tinently skedaddled in the direction of
the round house, behind which they
stayed until the train pulled out. Then
boarding the Eastern-bound train, they
proceeded as far as Elko, where they
procured license and were duly made
one. The groom telegraphed the fact to
the anxious parents, passed the night at
the Depot Hotel, and taking the morning
Western passenger train, they proceeded
on their way to overtake their old train,
which they expected to do somewhere in
the neighborhood of Winnemucca.

Dad Condition of the Turkish Troops.

A correspondent writing from Con-
stantinople, gives deplorable account
of the medical and sanitary necessities
of the Turkish troops. He says that
the medical staff does not exceed one per
one thousand strength, and he writes
most contemptuously of the sort of men
who form the staff. He describes them,
indeed, as for the most part apprentices
in the art and science of medicine, with
ont culture, and who possess only such
a smattering of physic and surgery as
may be picked up in the Turkish medl-
cal school at Constantinople.
This. correspondent says, moreover,
that the Turkish forces are in want OF
medicines, bedding, litters, ambulances,
and surgical and medical necessaries of
all descriptions. he also asserts that
even thus early in the war the question
arises: How are the troops to be fed !?
As to the medical and sanitary wants,
the. Turks believe that help will come
from England; but as to food, he asks:
Where will this come from? Turning
to the Russian side, we find medico
sanitary organization which, so far as it
can be Judged before it is fully tested
by the exigencies of the field and OF
actual warfare, would seem to be COM
plete, while the military organization is
being supplemented by voluntary efforts
of the people at large for aiding the sick
and wounded almost unique in their
character.

Her PaDa'S Grave.

A little girl, with tangled locks peep
ing from under calico hood, clad in a
dress of chintz that hung all awry, loi-
tered behind rs the great, dusty crowd
moved out of the gates of Mt. Adna the
other day, after they had scattered their
flowers and done honor to the dead.
Half dreamily she gazed after them, her
eyes filled with far-away look OF ten
derness, until the last one had disap-
peared, and the rattle Of drums had died
away. Then she turned and vaguely
scanned the mounds that rose about her,
clutching still tighter the fast-fading
bunch of dandelions and grave-grass that
her chubby hand held.
An old man passed by, and gently
pattel her curly head, as he spoke her
name, but she only shrank back still
further, and when he told passing
stranger that the little ones father was
one who went on the battlefield and
never came back, there was only tear
drop in the childs eye to tell that she
heard or knew the story.
When they were gone she moved on
further to q neglected, empty lot, and
kaeeling down she packed up mound
of earth, whispering as she patted it
down, and smoothed it with her chubby
hand:
"This won't be so awfully big rs the
others, guess, but maybe it'll be big
enough so that God will see it,and think
that papa is buried here"
Carefully she trimmed the sides with
the stray grasses she plucked, murmur-
ing:
"And maybe it will grow so that it
will be like the rest in two or four years !;
and then, maybe, papa sometime will
come back and -
But she paused as though it suddenly
dawned upon her young mind that he
rested where the Southern breeze whis-
pers unknown ;" and the tear-drops
that spraug to her eyes moistened the
little bunch of dandeloins that she
planted among the grasses on the mound
she had reared.
When the sexton passed that way at
night rs he went to close the gates, he
found the little ono fast asleep, with her
head pillowed on the mound, and when
he reused her she started up and looking
dreamily around for moment, and then
smilingly faltered:
eyes, I'll go home now, for God says
he will watch papa's grave. ."-Fulton

Dealing in Dead Dogs.

It is a fact, perhaps not generally
known, that there is firm doing bust
ness in San Francisco who purchase the
thousands Of dogs slaughtered by the
poundmaster OF that city, or that may
have been otherwise killed, for which
they pay forty cents each. The carcasses
are conveyed to their manufactory at
South Francisco, where the skins are
removed and sold to the tanneries, the
hair taken off and resold to plasterers,
the hide tanned, made into gloves, and
sold in the market. The denuded car
cass is then thrown into huge cal
dron and boiled until the bones are
easily separated from the flesh, when
they are removed and sold to the sugar
refneries, where they are ground to q
fine powder and used to clarity sugar.
The oil that rises to the surface Of the
boiling mass is skinned off and manu-
featured into cod liver oil, and the re-
mainder is used for the purpose of fat
tening hogs.
