There has never been much doubt
that MIR, James would get it, for he
has been working a long time, and
secured an array of influential Dem.
ocrats in his favor that was ire
sistable. We believe the most
potent cause in his behalf was the
filing at Washington of two copies
of The Sac Sun, one containing the
article written by Mr., James in re-
ply To Mr.. koder, and the other an
editorial article written some time
ago in favor of Mr.. James. 1t is
true these papers were filed by Mr.
koder in opposition to Mr.. James,
but we knew that would have the
other affect. President Cleveland
is a strong admirer of the papers
generally, and of The Sun in par
ticular. While The Sun felt friend
ly toward the other candidates, it
felt that all things considered the
business interests of our town
would be best conserved by the
appointment Of Mr.. James, aud the
favor with which it has been re-
ceived is proof of the correctness
of its position 1t is a stalwart
appointment, and that's the kind
we like to see, in both parties. Sac

NEVER has publication so
thoroughly carried out the true
meaning of a Family Magazine as
does DenoreSt'S Monthly. 1t seems
to be the aim to make it indespens-
able in every household. The Janu-
airy number, which has just arrived,
still farther carries out this idea,
having added a new department,
"Our Girls" which will show this
portion of the family "some ways
of getting the best out of life.n
The "HousehoId" department is not
merely a series of receipts, but is
full of practical suggestions. A
prize is here offered for the best
series of menus for the sepeiate
days of the week; and under the
head of "Home Art and Home Com
fort" another prize is offered "for
the most practical suggestion of
remunerative work for women, to
be done at home" Many women
will watch anxlousl y to see what
this offer will bring forth, as infor-
nation on this point is just what
they are looking for. The new
story, "Allan Quartermain; or, A
Frowning City," by II. Rider Haz-
zard, author of "She," "King Solo
mons Mines" etc, etc, needs no
comment, the worldwide reputation
of this author being sufficient. The
other stories are of a high order
and the continued article of "Jennie
June" ("Across the Continent'') is
very interesting. "The Modern
Pontius Plate" by the Editor, w.
Jennings Demorest, showing moral
cowardice of the people in their
treatment of the liquor traffic, can
not fail to be read with much inter
est. The publisher may well be
proud. Published by w. Jennings

A HARSH LAW.
A Pointed Decision on American Divorce
by an ENGLISH Court.

A Pointed Decision on American Divorce
by an English Court.
A book has just been published in
Boston on comparative Jurisprudence
and the conflict of laws as they affect
citizens of different European nations
and Americans of the different States of
the Union in cases where foreign law
are concerned. A case has just been
decided in England which, in matters
of divorce deserves to be known in the
United States The case is this: An
English officer named Elmhirst married
in England Miss Kenhard. They sop
arated, and Elmhirt came over to this
country and went into the cattle business
in Montana. While in Montana he got
a divorce, and subsequently married
Miss Livingston, an American lady. A
short time afterward he returned to
England with her. His first wife then
sued for divorce before Mr.. Justice
Butt, who declared the Montana divorce
invalid. The first wife, thereupon
gained her case. and the principle
stands that American divorces are not to
be recognized as valid in England whe re
they affect British subjects. Accord
ing to this decision, an Englishman may
be divorced and free to marry again in
the United States who in the eyes of the
English courts would be a bigamist and
presumably subject to the penalties for
bigamy. The condition in which the
second wife is left by this decision is
deplorable one, and it is only one of
many instances in which the laws be-
tween Governments conflict to the in
Jury or harassment of innocent parties.
Marriages between persons of different
nationalities in France involve n great
deal of risk, they being invalid unless
all the formalities with which marriage
is hedged about in that country are OBJ
served. Mr. Merrill, the author of the
book in question, expresses the hope
that future discussions of these con-
flicts of law as to the nationality. domi-
Gle, civil and commercial contracts,
marriage and property rights, con-
Quoted in candid and liberal spirit,
will lead to an adjustment of many
existing Emergencies on an equitable
basis. 1t is not to be expected that all
the difficulties arising from conflicting
laws can be removed, but something
might be done by diplomacy to relieve
such laws of their harsher features

rift This stream kept growing in size
until it had become a respectable creek
as it reached the basin. There it took a
sweep to the left of the big rock and
rushed out to join the Laramie. which
stream made bend toward us just in
front of the basin, and was only three
hundred feet away.
Il never saw it rain harder. The
roar of the falling drops on the rocks
was enough to prevent all conversation,
and our sole aim was to find some sort
of shelter. We got it under one side of
the big rock have spoken of. A shelf
projected out far enough to shelter our
bodies, and we drew our legs up and sat
there for the next half hour as dumb as
oysters. All of sudden, with no more
warning than a snap of the finger, a
wave of water flooded in on us, and
literally washed US out As
we went out from under the
shell we found the basin to be a
lake, with the water waist deep. The
big rock was our only hope. but we had
to drop our guns as we pulled ourselves
up. The waters followed US, and we
paused not until we reached the top.
From there we looked down on strange
sight. The Laramie river was pouring
into the basin from one side and the
canon was sending a river in from the
other, and by the time we gained the
crest the water around us was twelve or
fifteen feet deep.
eve had not yet spoken when we
caught sight of the bodies of our horses
being whirled around in the basin, and
next moment we saw the heads of half
dozen Indians dotting the water. The
two rivers flowing into the basin created
sort of whirlpool, and, though the
redskins were swimming bravely, they
could not break out of it. At one point,
where the current swept past the rocky
side, they would clutch and hang in the
most desperate manner. but only to be
swept along again after a moment.
They made the most tremendous efforts
to break through the circle and
reach our rock, but it was in
vain We looked down upon them
until the last warrior gave up the
unequal fight and sank from sight.
Shortly after the last one disappeared
the water in the basin suddenly went
out until we could see the rocky bottom
again, and soon after that the fierce rain
was replaced by steady drizzle.
cit took us some little time to figure
out how every thing had occurred. Soon
after we left the basin a band of prowl-
ing Indians had come along. They had
seized our horses and removed them out
of sight, and had then gone into am
bush to await our return. The herce
storm had produced landslide just be-
low the basin, and the Laramie river
had been temporarily damned up. This
threw all its waters into the basin, and
the overflow had been so sudden that
the redskins could not escape. When
the dam broke away, under the great
pressure, the basin was soon emptied.
1.-The results of our specimen hunting
were the loss of our firearms and
horses; but we did not complain. But
for the flood we should have lost just as
much and our scalps besides. ~ 7.
