A decision has been given in New York
which limits the time during which a
husband may absent himself from his
wife and yet legally hold her to the mar
rage contract at five years. The plaintiff
in the case married Mr.. Decker, whom
she saw for the last time in 1875, and last
heard of in 1873. In 1888, assuming Mr..
Decker to be dead, she married Mr..
Nesbit. She did not know at the time
Of her second marriage whether her first
husband was alive or not Not having
heard from him for five years, she took it
for granted that he was not living, and
hence the suit. The Surrogate held that
the second marriage was valid. This, of
course, is judge-made law, but it might
be embodied in a statute. There should
be legal limit to the time when one
party to marriage contract may ignore
the relation and hold the other party to
it. The marriage service says "until
death do us part" but this is a ceremon-
i'll fiction. Other causes than death part
married people. If q man voluntarily
leaves his wife in doubt of his existence
Tor five years he should be punished by
forfeiture of his rights as husband. If
he does SO voluntarily he might fairly be
required to pay the penalty of misfortune.
The law has to consider the party who
remains faithful to the contract as well as
the party who disregards it, voluntarily
or otherwise.

Bierce, in the Wasp, thus sizes down
California as he finds it, and who will say
that the picture is overdrawn: at is a
city of all-mannered rogues. 1t is par
adise of imposture. Political ignorance,
literary stupidity, social vulgarity have
here their ripest and richest development.
Of all our millionaires you cannot name
two who came honestly by their wealth.
Our public business is conducted by sue
cessive swarms of thieves and Ounces.
Our courts of law are not courts Of JUS
tice, for bench and bar are interchanging
parts of monstrous conspiracy against
property. Our pulpits are but fountains
of ignorance, watering pastures of ny
pocrisy. Whose hand is here undenied
to the unconvicted felon: Who turns
his back when presented to the public
officer who has betrayed his trust? Who
refuses to exchange solutions with one
whom he knows to have cheated credi-
tor or told lie?"

HOW TO SUCCEED.

My son, there's nothing SO mysteriously
funny as a newspaper advertisement.
The prime, first, last and all the time,
object of an advertisement is to draw
custom. 1t is not, was not, and never
will be designed for any other human
purpose. So the merchant waits till the
busy season comes and his store is so full
of custom he can't get his hat off and
then he runs to the newspapers and puts
in his advertisement. When the dull
season gets along and there is no trade
and he wants to sell goods so bad he
can't pay his rent, he takes out his adj
vertisement. That u.s. some of them do,
but occasionally level.headed merchant
puts in bigger one and scoops all of the
business, while his heighbors are making
mortgages to pay the gas bill. There
are times when you couldn't stop people
from buying everything in the store if
you planted a cannon behind the door,
and that's the time the advertisement is
sent out on it's holy mission. 1t makes
light work for the advertisement, for a
chalk sign on the sidewalk could do all
that was needed and have half holiday
six days in the week, but who wants to
favor an advertisement. They are built
to do hard work and should be sent out
in the dull days when customer has to
be knocked down with hard facts, and
kicked insensble with bankrupt reduc.
tions and dragged in irresistible slauql..ez
of prices before he spends cent.
That's the aim and end of an adver.
tisement, my son, and if you ever open a
store, don't try to get them to come
when they are already sticking out of the
windows, but give them your advertise
ment right between the eyes in the dull
season, and you will wax rich and own /;
fast horse, and perhaps be able to smoke
a good cigar once or twice year.
Write this down where you will faI
over it every day. The time to draw
business is when you want business, ant
not when you have more business thai
! you can attend to already.

DEAD FOR NEARLY A MONTE.

NORTH Horn, March rs. "A very pc
culiar case of suspended animation and
abstinence from food for 2S days in
Marion township, this county, is exciting
great interest. A little daughter of Jos.
Renner was taken suddenly i'll with
collie, and the pain was so severe that she
went into spasms. The father went
after doctor, but the child was to all
appearances dead before the physician
arrived. The heart had ceased to beat.
the pulse was extinct and respiration had
stopped. Il was noticed, however, in
two or three hours after the child died,
that the skin did not take on that pecu-
liar pallor noticeable on most dead peo-
pie. The child looked as though she
were sleeping, though the doctor pro-
nounced her dead. The body was kept
for two days, and during that time the
skin retained a natural color, but no
other signs of vitality were manifested.
Then the friends commenced discussing
the propriety of burying her
While the discussion was going On
some one went into the room where the
child was lying. and after looking at the
corpse for a moment put his fingers on
the pulse and was surprised to feel a
feeble nuttering. The pulse beat slowly,
but it indicated that life was there, and
means were at once used to fan that vital
spark into flame. The doctor was
again called and rostoratives applied
Although respiration returned and the
action Of the heart increased, yet con-
seriousness did not return to the girl, and
all efforts to restore her were fruitless.
She remained in this state Of torpidity
for twenty-six days. On the evening of
the twenty sixth day she opened her
eyes and feebly asked for drink Of
water, From that time on she rapidly
gained strength, and is now able to 90
about From the time she took sick
until the day she regained consciousness
was twenty eight days, and during that
time she partool Of no food Whenever
an attempt was made to open her mouth
the muscles controlling her jaws became
rigid and her mouth could not be opened.

Those who hold high public positions
can always command plenty Of friends,
because they have favors to bestow. 1t
is these persons, who, if incorruptible,
refuse to be bribed, though the belief be
entertained that they can be used when
their influence is needed. They refuse
to accept free passes to places of public
amusement, to ride free on railroads,
and to accept the many favors in other
forms which are offered them with a self
ish motive in view. The sturdy con-
duct of Senator Vest of Missouri is to be
admired in this connection. He received
free pass to ride over the Washington
and Georgetown street cars. Knowing
full well that the company would expect
"quid pro quo" he returned the pass
with the following endorsement; 81
have one of the best pair of legs in the
country, and will be willing to walk if
you will give this pass to some poor
washerwoman who has to pay : cents
every time she rides on your cars" 1t
may be taken for granted that no wash
erwoman ever got the pass. How many
members of Congress would have re.
sisted the temptation held out to Senator
Vest ? Not all Of the members, it may
be safely asserted.

sponsble for the statement that Melon
AIDS recent visit 20 this city is to receive
an assurance from the President that
there would be resignation in the Cab
met at the end of this year and that Nc

portfolio he was expected to accept, he
was told the Postoffice. Mcdonald was
also informed that he might go abroad if
he so desired and represent this Govern.

on the ground that inasmuch as he would
succeed Colonel Villas within the next
nine months, it was better to remain at

1t is said that Colonel Villas will leave
