DRIVING A Coach THROUGH STUMP.

DRIVING A COACH THROUGH A STUMP.
The Sonora (Cal.) Independent says
'Tt is we'll known, or ought to be, that
the Yosemite tourist, who goes via So
nora, passes directly through the Tue
lumne Grove Of Big Trees, as fine as
any in the State. In this grove are
two stumps, larger than any others on
the coast. w. S. Priest, one Of the
Yosemite commissioners, has had a
contract to bore hole through one of
these stumps for the stages to pass
through. This stump is SO feet in di-
ameter, and the hole will be cut
through it - feet wide by 10 feet high,
and will be completed on the 10th of
this month. This fine grove has hith-
erto been neglected, but will now be
put in order for The inspection Of tour
lists. Trails will be cut through it,
and the underbrush cleared away, so
that it can be thoroughly appreciated
in all its stately m1agnifcence.

UTAH DIVORCES.

The Supreme Court Of Minnesota has
decided that divorce granted by a
Utah court, where neither of the par
ties ever acquired a bona fide residence
in Utah, and were both during the con-
duct Of the divorce proceedings resi-
dents Of Minnesota, is not valid in
Minnesota, and not a protection against
the consequences of second marriage,
and that a belief in it's validity is not
a defense to an Indictment for bigamy

A LITTLE FLTRRY.

j. W. Sankey and the WalWorth
County I22depe21de33t take exceptions to
the Geneva Lake Herald, when speak
ing of John d. Doyor being in town
and making it q call, saying, "Mr. De
vor was here endeayoring to find cor
respondent for the Independent in
which, we learned, he still had an in
terest." They understand interest as
used to mean proprietary interest OF
ownership and J. w. Sankey calls it
false and slanderous. The Herald
claims that it was harmless in intent,
and the independent is willing to ac-
cept the declaration that it was SO, not
desiring controversy with any Of the
fraternity.
The breeze raised by the Herald, per
haps Internationally, seems to be sub
siding and it is to be hoped nothing
more unpleasant Will come Of it.
AS an interest does not necessarily
imply a proprietary interest or owner
ship, was the word interest, so used by
the Herald as to make it mean that
AS the sentence is constructed perhaps
such would be its fair meaning, or at
least it's implied meaning. With the
clause, we learned, left out, and the
word has substituted for had it might
not be.

'Tsae Old Farm : ssate.


The Old farm gate hangs sagging down,
On rusty hinges, bent and brown,
It's latch is gone, and here and there
It shows rude traces of repair.
The old farm gate has seen each year,
Inc blossoms bloom and disappear;
The bright green leaves of Spring unfold.
and turn to Autumn's red and gold
Inc children have upon it clung,
And IN and out, with rapture swung.
When theiryoung hearts were good and pure
When hope was fair and faith was sure.
Beside that gate have lovers time,
Retold the story always new
Have made their VOWS: have dreamed OF bliss
And sealed each promise witha kiss.
The Old farm gate has opened wide
10 welcome home the new made bride,
When lllacS doomed, and locQsts fair
With their sweet fragrance filed the air.
That gate, with rusty weight and chain,
Has closed upon the solemn train
That bore her lifeless form away,
Upon dreary Autumn day.
The lichens gray and moses green
Upon itsrotting posts are seen:
Initials, carved with youthful SKILL
Long years ago. are on it still
Yet dear to me above all things,
BY reason ofthe thoughts it brings,
Is that old gate, now sagging down,

THE DETROIT FREE PRESS DESTROY
; f'4-t 81 ED BY FIRE. .. .f~

DETROIT, Mich, April 20, 1878.
The gas main leading into the Free Press
buildings exploded this morning, when the
gas ignited and instantaneously the
whole edfice burst into flames. The CHIEF
pressman, two mailing clerks, night engi-
,neer and five pressmen, who were in the
building, all escaped. Two of the latter,
however, were slightly injured. The Fress
Press Company occupied the two four story
brick buildings on the corner Of Woodbridge
and Griswold streets. The burning gas
ascending through the stairways ignited at
once every floor of the two buildings. An
effort was made by the pressmen to pat on
the safety hose and throw stream Of water
on the fire below, but the attempt was soon
abandoned. The presses were stopped and
the forms of the paper were saved. The
city .firemen were promptly on hand, but
despite their efforts the two buildings were
thoroughly Quilted by the fire. The presses,
of which there were twelve, and machinery
of the Free Press were more or less dam
aged. The job rooms contained about $40,-
600 worth of material, which is utterly de-
stroyed.
The rooms above the job rooms were
used as stereotype foundry, and m Ill
clerks room. In the Office of the latter
every paper was saved intact, including Il Q
subscription lists Of all the editions Of the
Free Press. In the rooms next above were
located the composing rooms and editorial
rooms. The composing room, with its
equipments, was burned and fell through,
destroying the material. A similar fate be-
fell the editorial rooms, with the exception
of the rearmost room. In the latter was
stored quantity of new type, which was
uninjured.
The Free Press Company had arranged to
set up the present week new Bullock per-
fecting press, with combination folder and
poster, and the foundation for the press was
all in readiness. In anticipation Of the new
press several thousand dollars worth of
new type had been purchased and stored in
anew building, ,uost Of which is lost, ,includ.
ing the dress Of type In use.
The Post and Tribune, Evening News and
Volksblat' daily papers of this city, and job
printing offices came to the Free Press with
offers OF assistance, and every facility for
get ing out editions Of the paper without
delay were offered. The weekly edition
will be delayed q few days, and the pub
fishers beg the indulgence of their sub
scribers and newsdealer in every portion of
the Union. The new Bullock perfectinp
press will be set up In the adjoining build
ing Immediately, where the eftice is already
established, and to-morrow's edition pub
lished as usual. Everything in the safe in
the counting room was saved.
The loss is estimated at $50, 900 insur-
ance, $4,000. The editors of the paper
lose considerable personal property.
