The vale,of Cashmere in India, which
has been devastated by an earthquake,
is renowned in history as one of the
loveliest and most fertile provinces in
the world. The city OF Serinagur, the
capital OF the province, sometimes
called Kashlnir, is in the valley, and
has been noted for ages as the Venice
of Asia, from it's innuYnerable canals.
Its great mosque would hold so, 700
worshipers Its gardens and lakes
were the gems of Asia. The city was
the center of the celebrated cashmere
shawls. The climate, scenery, fertili-
ty, healthfnIness and freedom from
serpents, insect pests, and dangerous
animals, and the p~eacefrlnsss OF tlae
people have made Cashmere the para
disc 5sof the east 1t III walled in and
defended by lofty and wondrously
beautiful mountain ranges abundant
" watered by streams, lakes and a
great river, and for many years it ex-
listed as y kingdom in peace and Sc.
cnrity because ii its isolated position.
The province is thickly inhabited, and
N il probable that the loss ollie has
been great.

singular divorce has lately beer

"A ssingular divorce has lately been
granted at Galena. A respectable
young lady was engaged to be married
toasyoung man but would not marry
guntilshe was ready to take her to a
home.ofher own. III due time he said
he had Hhe home provided, and they
weresmaIried. After the ceremony the
man coolly stated that he had resort
ed to q ssubterfugge to get her, that he
ha2 secured no house of his own and
that they must go to boarding. The
bride, incensed at the treatment she
had received, refllsedabsolutely to live
with her husband until he procured a
home for her, as he had promised, and
theslatter left her about All hour afte,
his marriage, since which time the
couple have not lived together. The
Judge said that the case was one OF
the ,most remarkable ever brought be-
lore him, and that the circumstances
were such, as testified by the plaintiff,
combined with the fact that the hus-
band had failed to appear, that he
couldsnot withhold divorce.

AristOcracy in the Old South.

If wealth is measured by net in.
come, there was much wealth
in the South. The very nature of the
property forbade it-consumine its
own production. But if the number
of slaves is taken as the standard of
wealth, then where there was one man
owning 800 there were SO, who did
not 100, and in that ratio, clear
on through the negro population, still
leaving thousands owning none.
BE that as it may, wealth was not
the standard of the best society. IT
there was any undertaking rule it was
family lineage, even while the best old
families possessed the large proportion
OF the aggregate wealth though to no
large extent individually. In other
words, family lineage, when supple
mented by dignity and good conduct,
was always a passport into the best
society, whether with or without pro-
perty, while those without this lin
cage We're never excluded who pos
sessed other qualifications. There
were but few formalitics of any sort,
and social intercourse was at all
times natural and easy. This is a
simple and true statment of facts, vet
they have been loaded Down with
every possible caricature.-Mrs. FaE

Must Be Enforced.

Abraham Stockton. who, during
many years. lived in the southern part
of Arkansaw, was, in honor to his
great learning and also to the fact that
he had once killed a mad dog, elected
justice of the peace. The people were
very anxious TO see Il case taken be-
fore the old man, for every man knew
that Stockton's opinion would be one
which the supreme court could not re-
verse. The opportunity came. A man
named Eckford sued Mr.. Chelscy.
The litigation grew out of a dispute
concerning the ownership of IA lot of
sheep. A jury was e%mpaneled. the
evidence was taken and the lawyers
made their speeches. The verdict of
the jury declared that the sheep should
be equally divided. Before d~ischarg-
ing the jury, the magistrate said:
Gentlemen, you've did your duty,
but you amt made no provisions fur
the cost in this thing. The constitu-
ton of the United States saws that
when jurymen make SIGH a oversight,
the Judge shall take the matter into
his own hands. Gentlemen, I'll charge
you two dollars n piece. Ihave heard

that her majesty had informed himthats she
had summoned the marquis OF Salisbury.

lords, to Balmoral for the purpose OF en-.
trusting him with the formation OF a new

Spring Wheat in Dakota.

Reports from several hundred points, in
Dakota, have just been gathered. From a
summaryit appears that the acreage in Da-
kota is very little less than last year. The
shortage does not exceed 5 per cent. and
may not reach that figure. The decrease is
widely distributed. In the Northern portion
OF the territory farmers were discouraged
by the low prices prevailing last fall, and
many allowed their land to lie idle in
order to rid it OF foul seeds. In
the southern portion, particularly in the
older communities, farmers turned their at
tention more to stock raising and to Ian
and coarse grain. The war scare during
seeding time induced a great MANY to in
crease the acreage, but the season was too
far advanced and other conditions were un-
favorable to such an increase in acreage as
would otherwise nave been made. The
condition OF the crop atthis time is favora-
Bile, reports to the contrary being confined
to small areas in certain localities. In the
northern part of the territory wheat WAS
sown from one to three weeks earlier, and
the weather has been favorable ever since.
with the exception OF the frost OF the eth
and a little too much rain in the alnes riv-
er valley. A few local hail storms have
done no damage. The crops alon. the
Northern Pacific and Manitoba roads and
the branches are in excellent condition.
Frequent rains in the southern portion OF
the territory have helped the crops very
much during the past week, and the condi-
ton OF the crop, as Il whole, is very favor
able.
