President Folks Widow.

The Nashville Tenn Banner says /:
Right in the heart of Nashville stands a
large, old-fashioned homestead of dull
red brick, its roof projecting over the
broad piazza, supported by great fiuted
pillars, and its general aspect conveying
an impression of severe ststeliness, in
pleasing variance with the distorted,
wOul6-be fashionable architecture in the
same neighborhood. A long lawn
stretches in front of the house, and its
pleasant green monotony is unbroken
save by a plain and massive tomb of
white marble, which carries its own best
epitaph in the simple inscription, James
X. Polk.
A ring at the bell brought to the door
a good-natured colored girl, who took
our cards to the venerable and veneer
ated widow of President Polk.
Time, of course, has stolen the vivid
coloring and curved outlines of youth,
but he has not robbed her of the upright
figure and dignified carriage, and has
left brightness in her eyes and vivacity
in her voice, beside lending an added
charm in her faultless manners.
From the library of the dead Presi-
dent, she can gaze upon the tomb that
marks his resting place, and in that same
library remains his hat, gloves and
cane, Just where he laid them when he
came home for the last time. The book
he was reading lies open on the table.
and the papers of the day beside it:
In society, and fond of it, Mrs. Polk
has yet never accepted an invitation
since her husbands death, though with
graceful hospitality and tact she has re-
ceived on the first day of each year the
Tennessee Legislature, which adiourns
in body to call upon her-and which
l am told, is the highest compliment
ever paid by State authorities to lady
and the civil, Judicial and ecclesiasti.
cal bodies make it point 10 pay then
respects to her.

Went as Express Matter.

Horace 81. Buell., of Chicago, not hav-
ing sufficient money to buy ticket, con-
ceived the scheme of being sent as
express matter to Manhattan, Kansas,
and was successful. He arranged a box
so that he could sit in it, and could, if
necessary, release himself. He got into
his box and was placed on board the
cars. He left Chicago and arrived in
Manhattan shortly after midnight two
days later, and was dumped out on the
platform with other freight.
His expectation was that he could es-
cape in the darkness, but the box was
set down bottom side up, with the lid
against the platform, and his scheme
was frustrated. When he was rolled
into the express Office at the depot a
still worse misfortune attended him, for
the box was so placed that he stood on
his head. The clerk then began check
ing up, using the box for table. Buell.
stood it as long as he could and then
made his presence known, greatly
frightening the agent, who was going to
shoot into the box. At length, however,
they released him. He paid the ex-
penses charged-$9.25. A ticket would
have cost 1854.

Wasted Wealth in Nevada.

Saws the Virginia City Enterprise.
During the bonanza days, when nearly a
dozen big mills ION Six-mile and Seven
mile Canyons were rushing through the
rich ores of the Comstock, the tailings
that left the mouth of .Six-mile Canyon
were allowed to run to waste, and spread
abroad on the desert to the northward of
the town of Sutro. Six-mile Canyon
was then filed from end to end with
blanket sluices and all kinds of sulphuret
catching traps. 1t was thought that
when the tailings left the mouth of the
Canyon they contained so little valuable
material that it would not pay to catch
them up in reservoir, but the blanket
sluices caught only the sulphurets and
other heavy matter; they did not get
the chloride that went out with the slums.
For some years past men have been delv-
ing for this wealth lying scattered upon
the desert sands, and they are still gath
ering it in. I'm the places where they
are now mining" for this material, it
does not show on the surface The
shifting sands of the desert have hidden
it, and it is overgrown with sagebrush
and greasewood. The deposits must be
for, but when found pay well
for the work of collecting.

THE FRENCH DIVORCE BILL.
The Government Comedies Actual Separn-
tiOn in Certain Cases.

In the French Senate a debate was
had on M. Magnets Divorce bill. NJ.
Fueillee, Minister of Justice and Public
Worship, stated that the government
was disposed to sanction the principle of
divorce in cases entailing an actual sepa-
ration, but would not agree to divorce
by mutual assent.
The provisions of the new divorce bill.
which has passed the Chamber. consti-
tutes a great departure from the principle
of indissolubility. To begin with, itsanc-
lions divorce when either party to the
marriage contract is guilty of infidelity.
In the French Chamber the principle of
treating the sexes on footing of equal
ity in this matter was warmly defended
by majority of 224 to lat. The bill as it
now stands allows either husband or wife
to obtain a divorce for cause of ~
adultery, (2) cruelty, 80 serious insults,
az sentence of imprisonment for dis
honesty or offences against public
morals, (5) any ignominious punishment
(Oei1ae tntdndnte) other than Danish
ment or degradation for political offences.
CO. absence for a term of years. 1t also
provided for divorces by mutual consent;
but this provision was surrounded by
many restrictions.
Any couple finding their married life
unsupportable, but not wishing to &C
cuse each other of any of the offences
multiplying marriage can make declar-
alton thaT they are no longer able to live
together. This formal declaration must
be supported by the acquiescence of
three OF the nearest relatives of husband
and wife, and repeated four times in the
course OF year. The possessions of the
household are valued, and one-half is
settled upon the children of the mar
rage, to become theirs on attaining
their majority. One of the parents
must contract to undertake entire re-
sponslblllty for bringing up the children.
After all this is done the Court will be
empowered to pronounce a decree of
divorce, but the divorced persons will
not be allowed to marry again before the
lapse OF three years. In the case of
dlVorce Tor adultery, cruelty, crime or
absence, no restriction is placed upon
the remarrlage of divorced persons, with
THIS exception, that if a husband and
wife after being divorced remarry each
other the State will not undo their con-
tract second time unless one OF other
of this twice married couple is con-
demned to an infamous punishment.
Three years after judicial separation
has been granted either party can on
have it converted into a de-
cree OF divorce. 1t can also be so con-
verted at the option of the Court on the
of the injured party within
period of three months. Marriage with
a correspondent is permitted after
divorce, it being naively observed by M.
Magnet that such permission would in
the moral obligation of marriage
and tend to limit adultery. The penalty
affixed by the Civil Code to wife's in
fidelity in case of judicial separation is
A proposal that settlement
should be made i'll all cases upon the
children of a marriage dissolved for
specific cause was defeated.

A DEAD SHOT.
A Fine California Scheme for Creating n
LittIe Sensation.

A lot of summer tourists were on the
beach at Los Angeles the other day
watching some fancy rifle shooting by a
party of professional otter hunters, who
had come over from the Channel Islands
for Sunday lark. These really won
derful marksmen, most of them native
Californians, were killing gulls on the
water, breaking bottles and hitting dol
lars thrown in the air with great eckdt,
when a dudish-looking young man from
Frisco yawned in bored manner and
remarked in very audible voice to a
companion, that he didn't see anything
very wonderful in hat sort of shooting.
This produced series of sarcasticaIly
polite retorts on the part of the original
lords of the soil.
perhaps the gentleman could show
them something better ?"
"Well, [ don't know" replied the
young man, languidly taking one of the
hunters Winchester's. 81 might if
somebody would hold cork Or some
thing on his head for me-"
The rifiemen showed their white teeth
with amusement.
Doubtless" said one of them, wink
ing at his companions, doubtless the
gentleman's friend would oblige him. +"
"Why, to be sure" drawled the dude,
looking round. But his feIlow-dude had
sauntered off, and was standing some
three hundred yards further along the
beach meditatively smoking u long
nine.
"Ah there's Cholly," said the Ian
guild party, cooking his gun. ''Let me
see. You observe that he has cigar in
his mouth. Very we'll. I'll put hole
through it," and taking a careless sight
he fired. At the report the smoker gave
a sudden start, took out and examined
his Havana, and then shook his fist
angrily.
The entire crowd ran toward him.
Sure enough, there was hole right
cutting it in half.
"That's the fourth cigar you've spoiled
for me-" said the smoking dude, in
vexed tone. 81 wish you'd stop that
sort of thing !"
As for the other hunters, they looked
at each other in mortified silence for
few minutes, then climbed into their
boat and set sail.
"That's the most wonderful shot l
ever saw" said an old gentleman to the
shooter, the next morning. "Such a ter
rible risk, too"
"Nothing wonderful about it, said
the California Tell, confdentially. "All
YOU have to do, is to have your conted-
crate cut hole in the cigar with PEN
knife beforehand. It's boss scheme i

Mrs. Emo Parts With Diamonds.

The pathetic side of the flight and
capture of young Emo has come to light,
showing a wife's devotion and sacrifice to
save her husband from arrest and i'm
prisonment. Parleying with the officers
of the law and delaying their entrance
until her husband had made his escape
at the rear, Mrs. Emo sustained him by
denouncing the United States marshals
during their fruitless search. Surren-
dering every available dollar to assist
Mr.. Emo on his flight across the border,
she found it necessary to raise funds
somewhere, and it was stated on good
authority, that on Thursday last she
called at a pawn shop in the upper
Bowery, and disposed of large number
of valuable diamonds. She took her
position, heavily vailed, in the second
room in the rear of the shop, leaving
her cab at a convenient distance, and
having obtained the money she needed,
returned to her carriage and was driven
home. The New York Worlds informant
was told by one of the attendants at the
pawn-shop that the lady in black was
Mrs. J. G. Emo, and that her diamonds
were very valuable,
