The WiclSedest DIary

San Francisco special: About two
months ago polite society Of Oakland
was stirred to its center by reports of
criminal intimacy by Major Fl. D..
Ranlett, OF the fifth regiment battal.
ion. National Guards of California.
and Mrs. King, wife Of James G. King,
a merchant of this city, and the son OF
James King, an editor, who was shot
in the days Of the vigilance committee
by Casey, Maj. Ranlett is a married
man. All the parties to tho case lived
in Oakland, where the Kings occupied
a high social position. Mai. Ranlett
and Mrs. King had been acquainted
for some time, but their relations as.
sumed intimacy last winter, assisted
by his designing conduct and her i'm
pulsive nature and opportunities for
frequent revival gatherings, under
Moody and Sankey. In the front row
with those who responded NEST
promptly in soprano to brother San
keys I'VE will now sing" always. sat
Mrs. King. Opposite her, and on the
row of chairs most affected by anxious
sinners, who sung bass regularly, sat
Mai. RaDlett. She was prompted by
religious fervor, he by a fervor of a
different kind. During this time his
wife was away on q visit to the east.
On those days, when Brothers Moody
and Sankey labored with sinful San
Francisco, Ranlett INDUCED in the Sc
cular delight Of buggy rides, with the
fair soprano as his companion. Neigh
bors who testified in the divorce ca, Q
observed that Ranlett would drive TO
a point opposite Kings residence, re-.
naming in the buggy, and sound a
call on a tin whistle, whereupon Mrs.
King would join him. This not be.
ing in accordance with the Oakland
etiquette Of buggy riding, naturally
attracted the attention of nearly every
one excepting the trusting man, who
might be supposed to have an interest
in the affair. But the most astound-
ing feature Of the affair was that
Ranlett during all his love making
kept a diary, and a truthful diary.
In this he set down all the good
times" he had with other women /;
and Of course, Mrs. Ranlett in one Of
the periodical searches of her hus-
bands pockets, found the tell tale rec
ord Of bis inidelity. She showed this
TO Mr.. King. The result is reached
in many ways by different gossips,
but the court records Of Redwood
City show that a divorce was granted
to Mr., King, and that he was ad-
judged the custody of three young
children, while the elder child wae
in charge Of the wife. Maj Ranlett
still lives 10 Oakland and no divorce
proceedings have begun in his house

THE Legislature of New Hampshire
meets at Concord to. day, the first Of
June. 1t will be more than an ordi-
narily interesting session, for it elects
a senator to succeed Rollins, and will
have the r~edistricting of the state to
consider, and a general railroad law
to debate and act upon. As to the
senatorship, Rollins is a candidate for
reelection; VIM. E. Chandler, A. +.
Stevens, Walter Harrison, ex-senator

of her distinguished son, and she said
he never saved himself, but here, as
elsewhere, he had worked too hard;
that his health was much impaired
when he returned to England, but was
now improved by q stay at the seaside.
The host and hostess Of Mrs. Hughes
would greatly have wished to honor
her by a reception, but have thought
1t unwise to further tax the strength
of one who has already endured much
fatigue. and have therefore oontented
themselves with attentions less dem
~onstrative, but none the less devoted
and appreciated by their charming
and delighted guest.
1t is said that a mother is judged
by her children. If children could
be Judged by their mother, then surely
one could not expect things too good
and too great from the sons Of Mrs.
Hughes. Looking on her face, that
greater fascination Of lovely old age
will take possession of every one; then
will come the conviction that the
highest beauty is in expression; that
it grows moro intense as the finger of
Time sculptures the face with the
lines of sweet thoughts and noble
feelings. A long life we'll spent is
the greatest sermon on goodness; the
face of that person, man or woman, is
the noblest monument OF humanity.

On Saturday last began an expert

an important bearing on the wheat
trade of st. Louis and the west, it

Glasgow, Scotland. The barges to
carry the wheat we're sent from St.
Louis to St. Paul to be loaded.
The shipment, if successful, will be
followed by others. For several days
negotiations have been going on be
tween the st. Paul shippers and
New York capitalists, but the New
York man, though pleased with the
rates, declined to take the risk Of
the shipment, saying that they were
afraid Of the climate. The st. Paul
merchants then put themselves in
communication with Glasgow and the
sale was closed at once. When grain

Senator IsAam G. Harris returned
from Washington City a day or two
ago, and appears to be in excellent
health and spirits; in fact, to have
taken a new lease OF life, and started
out to continue his active and useful
career until near the end Of the nine.
teenth century. We are almost
tempted to give a little review Of the
circumstances attending his election
TO the United States senate four years
ago last January and of his subsequent
career. A few words at least are
appropriate, and will be of interest to
many of our readers. The objection
raised against Governor Harris, as he
was generally called, was that he be-
longed to a class Of unreconstructed
bourbons, and would be a hrebrand in
the senate to stir up animosities and
heated strife, and to defer much
longer the era Of peace and heartfelt
reconciliation. Those who took this
view, however, sincerely and reason.
ably misunderstood the man. They
mistook his earnestness, his devotion.

partizan, aud miJudged him en-
tirely. His election to the senate on

term Of six years when so many

see. 1t was indeed regarded as a high
measure Of justice to one Of Tennes-
sees brightest and ablest sons who
had been greatly misjudged and mis-
represented even by friends; and
furthermore it might be considered
tie very climax Of poetic justice from
the fact that an ex-president repre-
senting the ultra union democracy and
whiggery Of the war had been elected
to the senate only two years before,
and that by the aid Of ex Confederate
soldiers. When Governor Harris was
elected both sides could claim to be
ably represented in the national sen
ate. One passed suddenly and unex.
~pectedly away; the other has lived Ia

friends and to fill a very large meas.

Harris has not only overcome a deel

dice, but by his conservatism, hi

mindedness has won the respect anC
