AFTER MANY DAYS.


The divorce case in the Superior Court yes
terday of John Hagely vs.. Christina Hagely,
brought to light state of complex marital
relations which the divorce granted upon
hearing OF the facts, restored four happy souls
to the hosoms of their long mourned and
FIRST. loved. It is one of those combinations
of peculiar relations with a final for
tunate result which. after the most
painful agony, places everybody right
and leaves everybody infinitely happy. that
ia ex ,ected only TO be found in blood-curdling
dime novels, but here it comes in living real
ity. In the present case, it is shown that the
plaintiff, John Hagely. was married, in 1861,
in Boston, to a prior wife. and after
three or four years, came alone to
San Francisco to seek his fortune.
As time passed, he heard from
source supposed to be entirely reliable, that
cess of time he married the present defendant
Christina. After many years living together,
and engaged in the strug6 les of life. and when
they had ceased to agree as husband and
wife should, and were talking of legal sepsra-
ton, news came to Hagely that his former
wife was still living. He Immediately wrote
to her, and finding that she was still IN the
flesh, he sent her money to come to California
and ioin him, which she did, and the hiatus
in their married life became the subject
of mutual explanations. The husband con-
fessed his remarriage, and sought his wife's
acceptance of the entire sincerity of his
belief in her DEATH before he would ever for
a moment have thought of taking TO himself
another. In the goodness of her wonnanly
soul she believed bin and accepted ; and then
she, in her contrition. confessed to him that
she also had heard that he was dead, and after
long waiting for iidings had married another
man, but he never was to her what her first
husband was, etc. And in conclusion she
also sought his forgiveness for the mistake
and outside marital relation she, too, had
sustained during their separation. A mutual
forgiveness was accorded, and they again re-
suned in happiness their early relations of
husband and wife, and the decree of divorce
granted john Hagely yesterday from his
California wife, Christina, and awarding
the four children to their mother sewers the
last of the outside crookedness and leaves the
original couple to that felicitous condition
Two souls with but single thought, two
hearts that beat as one"

donor had good and sufficient title to the pup.
She kept it until few days since, when it
left home without leave. She next saw it
day before yesterday, as she was walking
along the street, when she came across if,
and in the joy of ker heart at finding the lost
treasure, che caught it up in her arm,
exclaIming: Eureka ~ and started with
it for home. Mr.. Landsbourgh, who
was near by. asserted that the
dog was his, and sought to convince the lady
of the fact by asserting his chain of title.
The lady, however, believed she was the
rightfu! owner, and carried the poodle in
triumph to her home. Thereupon Mr.. Lands
bourgh proceeded to maintain his vested
rights by procuring the arrest of Mrs. Mo-
hun upon charge of petit larceny. Upon
hearing of the case the Court was satisfied
that Mrs. Mohua believed herself to be the
owner of the dog, whatever were the facts as
TO ownership, and dismissed the case. In a
consultation between the conteuding parties,
subsequent to the dismissal of the suit, MIR.
Landsbourgh convinced Mrs. Mohuu that the
