Several months ago Mary Smith. Of
Rent0u, commenced suit for divorce
against her husband. W. p. Smith. The
case was referred to Q referee to take
testimony, and for the past two or three
days that testimony, which is very
voluminous, has BEEN read 10 the Judge.
The plaintiff sets up in her complaint
that she and the defendant we're married
In July, 1872, and have lived together a
husband and wife mp 10 the commence-
msnt Of the action; that there have
been no children a. result Of the mar
riaQo; that the defendant called her bad
names and failed 10 provide her with
suitable closhinQ. She then alleges that
she and she defendant own farm and
considerable stock, valued all told al
about &5S, 900, which 10 In the possession
Of the defendant. and she prays that
the Court will divide up the property,
giving her the wife's portion.
Each aud every allegation Of the
plaintiff 10 denied by the defendant e.
eept the fact Of the marriage and ths
calling Of names.
A rather remarkable feature In the
case which crops out In the evidence Il
that Mr.. Smith during ell the PEARS Of
their married life never struck his wife
while she frequently "siappsd" him,
and on one ocoasiou gave him bang
on she nose at the dinner table, which
made the blood spurt all over his food
Mr.. Smith, In his defsnss, claims that
he owned ths farm on Cedar river u
the time Of the marriage, and that Il Il
separate and nct community property,
and he claims that the divorce u brought
for the purpose Of upjustly sxtcrtina
money. Mr.. bmith has reeided In King
county for the past thirty years. and 4

THE Indian, it is claimed, has degenerated. Posi-
bly, he has. But it is doubtless true that there never
was q time when the average white man was not more
than a match for the average Indian when the former

WHO will say that the Copiah county, Mississippi,
investigation has not resulted in goodi Ras Wheeler
has been indicted for the murder of Prent Matthews
and gone to Jail, bail being refused. As he had ever
since the murder boon honored and petted by the
Democratic party of his section, it is easy to see that
public opinion of the country at large has compelled

THE notion that it is in the right of the British gov.
eminent, more than in that of China, or of Abyssinia,
or of Zululand. to say what races Or persons shall be
at liberty to enter into the composition of this nation,
is simply nonsense. That is a right necessarily in
herent in the sovereignty of an independent nation,
which it can not ALLEVIATE or surrender, by treaty. or
otherwise, without abdicating its sovereignty and be.
coming the subject of another power than that of its
own free will.-Chicago Times.
IT will be agreed that the most pronounced and Wig
orous measures should be adopted for the regulation
of the traffic in dynamite, and the expectation of the
article, if exported at all, be placed under rigid sur
VIGILANCE and absolutely inhibited from shipment in
any form or quantity by vessels engaged in the pas

THE Emergency Club, an Irish organization
of New York city, proposes to celebrate the
anniversary of the Phoenix Park assassinations
The deed there committed, in striking down
unarmed men, and men who had done no
wrong, except to hold ofiSe under the British
government, and one of whom had never per-
formed an official act, having only arrived in
Dublin the day he was killed, was cowardly
and Infamous, and the friends of Ireland can
easily put in their time at something more
honorable than in perpetuating the shame that
must ever attach to the murder of Cavendish

II is the best if not the only argument for civil serv.

THERE is plenty Of money in the treasury for the
work. and there is no reason why it should not be SO
applied. Instead of hunting about for methods of

lenses SO that a great nation of sixty millions OF ,peo-
pie may no longer be exposed to the snubs of any little

We have been issuing token dollars since 1873, and
passing them at 10 per cent above their intrinsic

form him how it is possible to make eightyfive cents

SEVERAL special kilograms have been sent
from this city, within the past few days,
claiming to give the choice for President of
the several delegates, by name, from this State
to the Republican national convention. Two
notable instances are those to the Chicago
Tribune and the New York Tribune. These
two, especially, are willful and deliberate lies,
uttered for the manifest purpose of misrepre-
s~enting the facts and deceiving the people
abroad, with the ultimate object of creating
an impression favorable to some gentlemen
who nave been spoken of for President and UNI
favorable to others. The unauthorized and,
in most cases, untruthful statement of their
choice is an objectionable outrage upon the
delegates, and cannot fail to injure the
chances of the candidate the correspondent is
trying to boom. There is only one CORE
snondent.

PATRIOTISM doesn't appear to have a very
firm grip on some of the Irish leaders, for as
soon as they cannot run things according to
their personal ideas they soon lose interest in
the deliverance of Ireland and HE themselves
away. The last to abandon politics is
Michael Davitt, who, because of a dispute be-
tween himself and Parnell, is about to remove
to Australia. 'Patriot" Sheridan, miffed in
much the sane manner, has taken up his resi-
dence in the far West.
