Australians-Divorces have never
been sanctioned in Australia.
Thibetans Divorces are seldom al
lowed, unless with the consent Of both
parties, neither Of whom can afterward
remarry.
Moors-lf the wife does not become
the mother of boy she may be divorced
with the consent Of the tribe, and can
marry again.
Abyssinians-N form of marriage is
necessary. The connection may be dis
solved and renewed as often us the par
ties think proper
Siberians-lf the man be dissatisfied
with the most trlfing acts of his wife,
he tears her cap or veil from her head,
and this constitutes divorce.
COrrean-The husband can divorce
his wife and treasure, and leave her the
charge OF maintaining the children. II
she proves unfaithful he an put her to
death.
Siamese-The first wife may be di-
vorced, not sold, ms the others may be.
She then may claim the first, third and
fifth child, and the alternate children are
yielded to the husband.
Arctic Region-When n man desires a
divorce he leaves the house in anger and
does not return for several DAYS. The
wife understands the hint, packs her
clothes and leaves.
Hindoos-Either party for Il slight
cause may leave the other and marry.
When both desire 1t there Is not the least
trouble. If man calls his wife another"
1t is considered indelicate to live with
her again.
Druse and Turkoman-Among these
people II n wife asks her husbands per-
mission to go out and he says ''gom with
out adding but come back again. she
Is divorced. Though both parties desire
IL they can not live together again with
out being remarked.
Cochin China-lf the parties choose to
separate they break pair Of ohopping
sticks or copper coin in the presence
of witnesses, by which action the union
is dissolved. The husband must restore
to the wife the property belonging to
her prior to her marriage.
American Indians - Among some
tribes the pieces Of sticks given the wit
nesses of the marriage are broken as a
| sign of divorce. Usually new connec-
| lions are formed without the old ones
being dissolved. A man can never di-
vorce his wife If she has borne him sons.
Tartary-The husband LAY put away
his partner and seek am her when il
| pleases him, and the vii nav do the
same. If she be ill-treated 81 q complains

the principal people, accompanies her to
the house and pronounces formal
divorce.
Chlnese-Divorces are allowed in all
/ cases OF criminality, mutual dislike,
| Jealousy, incompatability of temper and
too much incapacity on the part of the
wife. The husband can not sell his wife
until she leaves him a2S~becomes

ton. A son is bound to divorce his wife
ifshe dlsplease his parents.
Grecians-A settlement was usually
given to wife at marriage for support
In case of divorce. The wife's portion
was then restored to her, and the hus-
band required TO pay monthly interest

nom her. Usually the men could put
their wives away on slight occasions.

Dsadwood to Medoia is superior in every
way to any other, and that the lay Of tue
land is we'll adapted to frcighting. aud
that little work will be necessary to give q
good roadway, also that it is shorter

from Dead dwood to Pierre, whence the
bulk OF the business now goes. The

on this subject, says: ut is understood

to the national convention. Colonel
Sboup WAS one OF these. and, with his

represented the preference of Idaho for

OF this year, Colonel Shoup remarked to
the lnter.Ocean reporter last evening,
that it would probably come u, instract-

ln Idaho. said Colonel Shoup. tho
Mormon's in population about 10000,
aud voting strength 1000 or more, hold
the, balance Of power % between the re-
pubiicsns and democrats. For sixteen
years the territory's delegates in cou.

But 1t the last elections the better class
of democrats ei led with the republicans,

the congressional representation.
Governor Murray, Of Utah. now being
arraigned by his detractors, personally
and politically, Colonel Shoup says, the
people OF Idaho hold in the highest

courage. Moreover, Colonel Shoup re-.
Gently found for the governor certain
ylndicstion in the statements by certain
KentnckiaDs in Washington. that the
charges against Governor Murray we're
nothing less than false. The Colonel
believes. from what he understands al

gress will provide for Utah, before the
session is over, form OF government
somewhat similar to that exercised
over the District OF Columbia. As fo

A perfect network of veins Of this ex-

to wood and Is found In such quantities
that it will suppiy the entire country
no matter how thlckly it may be popu

With which 1t can be mined will render
1t very cheap. aud the many localities in
which the veins are encountered will
