TuE Boston divorce scandal is one of
the worst and ilthiest in the history of
divorce Jurisprudence. 1t is not too
much to say that publicity in the trial of
such cases and full newspaper reports of
the nastiness which they involve do more
than evil example and inducements
tn vice in the debauchery Of public morals
and in destroying the force of decent So
cial restraints. Yet il is not altogether
certain that the private trials of such
cases, if they have to be tried, would sub
serve the cause of justice. In cases of
Outrageous scandal, there is usually an inno-
cent or an injured party to be INDICATED,
but in the Boston case there was at least
no innocent party-the ineulpated preach
er, the laithless wife and the husband
suing for u divorce, having been-all proved
To be a bad, very bad, lot. Law reform
ought to seek some way for the settlement
of these eases hal would not be an out

Tprror' Of a Prairie Fire,


This command was threatened by q
great prairie fra ON coming down into
the broad grassy valley Of the Janos.
Under the impetus Of a fierce wind the
flames were rushing upon camp. There
was not n moment to DO lost. All hands
turned out-soldiers, squaws, Chirica-
hua warriors and even children. Each
tore a branch of willow or cotton wood,
a blanket or scrap Of canvas. The con
ilagration had already seized the hill
crest nearest our position. brownish and
grey clouds poured skyward in compact
masses Mt their feet n long line of scar
let flame flashed and leaped high in the
air.
1t was a grand, a terrible sight, in
front was smiling nature, behind, ruin
and desolation. The heat created a
vacuum, and the air, pouring in, made
whirlwinds, which sent the black fun
nels of steam winding and twisting with
the symmetry of hour glasses, almost
to the zenith. For one moment the
line of fire paused, as if to rest after
gaining the hilltop, it was only a mo-
ment. Here he comesl' yelled tho men
on the left; and like Il wild beast
ilinging high its tawny name of cloud
and flashing its fangs Of flame, the fire
was upon, round and about us.
our people stood bravely up to their
work, and the swishl swishi swish. Of
the willow brooms proved that camp
was not to be surrendered without a
struggle. We won the day; that
is, we saved camp. herds, and
a small area of pasturago; but over
a vast surface of territory the ruthless
flames swept, mantling the land with
SCOT and an opaque pail of mist and
smoke through which the suns rays
could not penetrate. Several horses
and mules were badly burned, but none
to death

1t took the world hundreds of years
TO get rid of shutters; and at this mo-
ment, with millions dependent on the
trade, nobody will rid us of the grand
drawback to the use of the mineral oils
- their sickening aud abominable
stencil. Purify the oil as you willard
some OF the prepared oils look rs pure
and limpid as water-and still whenever
the housemaid is careless-and every
housemaid is always careless about
lamps the oil gives forth its poisonous
odor.
Is it really beyond the reach of me-
chanieal science to make a lamp which,
by burning its own smoke or other de.
vice, literally can not smell2 We do
not believe il; but, nevertheless, though
a smokeless lamp would yield a fortune
to the inventor, and though all men
have n keen dislike of the smell of
burning oil, the necessary Improvement
will not be made. We still burn oil in
machines identical in principle with the
Assyrian lamp, though we have learnt
to 10 intolerant of the incense and per
fumes with which S~ardanapalus kept
down, or, 30 to speak, drowned the

The italian Tarantella.

Some five or six half-grown girls have
managed to buy or borrow a %tambourine,
and there in some secluded court or de
serted thrashing floor they are dancing.
The vine and fig boughs in which the
shadows are now massed against the
amber sky o%yerhang them, and so light
yet wild are their movements and so
passionate their gestures, that you seem
to be looking through the dark portal
into %fairyland. As soon rs the girls
notice that they arc being watched,
however, the tambourine is hushed, the
dance is broken, and the performers
stink in a shy group away to some dusty
retreat. II requires all the authority
Of one of the most respected of the
villagers TO induce them to resume the
broken thread, and even then they
move bashfully and with co%nstraint
You may see the taranteila IN some
OF the great hotels of Sorrento and
Capri, and there it seems an inferior
ballet indiferently performed. When
you chance upon. it thus in one of the
out-of-the way villages, you seem to
have caught a glimpse OF the real poetry
of southern life.

The Farmers Life in Siberia

Not nearly all the land is yet taken
up, and that many of the farms are
large as, and sometimes larger than, the
most extensive German manors. Even
a spoiled American farmer would be
satisfied with such an area. In the
midst Of these extensive estates stands
the spacious log house, surrounded with
barns and sheds, which, possibly, are
not large enough. Hardly anything is
large enough for the Siberian. | have.
made personal confirmation of this
greed for extension and space in the
towns, where it is often carried to OK
cess; thus | have seen parlors where the
mirrors and sofas could be counted by
the dozen.
In bright contrast with the stereo-
typed complaints Of the farmers con
corning the too thick population is the
fact that they are all proud of having
a numerous progeny. The farmer loves
his land, his cattle, his summer and
fall, but he loves above everything a
large family. In every other country
in the world there are founding hos
pitfalls; in Russia they are numerous,
but in Siberia there are none. If a
mother is not able to take care of her
child she will offer it to the nearest
farmer, and he will be glad TO have such
an increase in his family, as if it were
n fine colt foaled TO him.

II you turn a book upside down and
look an the letters. every - will seem
mueh-sfshller at the bottom than at the
top. although when the book is prop
orly held both halves appear the same
size to the eye.
The upper part Of the type that prints
the letter Is made smaller than the
lower half to correct the fault of the
eye, which always eXaggerates the
former. When the letter IS turned over
this same trick Of the sight makes the
difference seem greater than it really is,
and. of course, were it of the same
width all the way it would still look
uneven.
In greater matters, the false report Of
the eye is greater. II a tapering monu-
ment, like that on Bunker Hin or the
obelisk in Central park, were made with
perfectly straight sides. it would look to
us for. you see, We really can not trust
our WI eeyes as If it We're followed in
a little; or, as we should say in moro
more scientific language, its sides would
appear concave.
Those clever Greeks, who did so many
marvellous things in art, thought all
this out. and made their architecture
upon principles so subtle and so com
prehensive that we have mover been able
to improve on them since. They found
that their beautiful Doric columns, if
made with straight sides, had the on
cave effect of which have spoken, and
so. with the most delicate art in the
world, they made the pillar swell "A lit
tie at the middle, and then it appeared
exactly right.
This swelling Of the column at its mid
die was called entasis. Of course, il
had to be calculated with the greatest
nicely, and was actually so very slight
that it can only be detected by delicate
measurements; but it added greatly to
the beauty Of the columns and to their
eft effectiveness.
Their the lines which were to look
horizontal had to receive attention II
you look nj Il long, perfectly level line,
as the edge of a roof, or ins ancc, it
has the appearance Of sagging toward
the middle. The Greek architect cor
rected this fault by making his lines
rise a little. The front of the parthe-
non ut Athens is lOl feet 81 inches long,
and in this the rise from the horizontal
is about two and one eighth inches. In
other words, there is a curvature up
ward that makes it a little more
than two inches higher in the cen
ter than nj the ends, and the effect of
this swelling upward is to make tho
lines appear perfectly level. Indeed,
this same Parthenon-the most beauti
full building in the world-when deli
cately and carefully measured was
found to be everywhere made n little
Incorrect, so that it may appear right,
which is certainly what may be called
an architectural paradox. The graceful
columns, which seem to stand SO
straight, arc made to lean inwarwd a
little. since, if they were perfectly true
and plumb, they would have the effect
Of leaning outward. Tho pillars at the
corners slant inward more than the 9th
ers, and everywhere the corners are
made to look square by being in truth a
little broader anglcd, and lines are
curved in order that they shall appear
straight TO the eye.

oLovER AND BERGMAN.

As anticipated, i'm the usual order of
things, the case Of Glover VS.. Bergman
was decided in the %latler's favor bv the
district court yesterday.
Judge Lacey decides that, on the COM
mon law principle, charges should have
been preferred against Bergman, and if
sustained, the city council would have had
the right to remove him. According to
this principle, the city charter is void. for
it authorizes the removal of any city off,
cial, if such removal is deemed for the
best interests of the city. The mayor and
the council of the city of Cheyenne
deemed it to be for the best interests of
this city to remove Mr.. Bergman and APP
point Mr.. Glover to the office of city
treasurer, but according to the ruling of
Judge Lacey. they are not the Judges in
the case, they do not know what is
for the best interests Of the city. Al
though chosen by the people Of Cheyenne
only a few months ago to administer the
affairs of this city, the mayor and the
council cannot remove the %scavenser en-
ployed by the city, unless charges
are preferred against him and sustained
before a cour of which Republicans have
charge. If this decision is sustained, net
a single employe of the city can be dis
charged, for he is bound to be sustained
by the powers that unfortunately, under a
Democratic administration, yet have con
troll of our Judiciary system.
Tue LEADER might quote several decls-
ions of courts of superior jurisdiction, in
which it has been held that the common
law can only be applied where it is apple
able to the casc pending, but i. would be
in vain. Nor would it avail 10 appeal this
case ts the supreme court OF this territory,
for the same powers hat govern our dis
triet court prevail in the supreme court.
Aud what are you going to do about III
This question was once asked by a power
that deemed itself supreme in the admin
lstration OF the affairs of the city of New
York, An overwhelming public opinion
soon convinced the men who had assumed
supreme authority that there was a power
superior to them, the will of the people,
and they were hurled from their assumed
position, Justice prevailed and the will of
the people was made supreme.
This eventually will be the result here.
At present the court house ring defes the
popular sentiment but in a few months
the voice OF the people will be heard, and
