FUNNY LEGAL NOTICE.
Poetica Petition for a Divorce From an Uupleas
ant Women.
Cincinnati Commercial

cincinnati COMMERCIAL
Forseveral weeks past c. II. Etz of Washington
d. G., a special agent of the United States Labor
Bureau, Department of the Interior, has been
busily engaged collecting the divorce statistics
of each county in Ohio. While in the city
not long ago he gave Joe Plumb, deputy clerk
a copy of peculiar divorce petition, written
in poetry, which he copied from the records OF
Portage county, this State, this being but one
of scores of queer legal documents which ht
has come across during his research among the
records.
This strange old document from Portage
county reads as follows:
The undersigned in modest tone,
Announces his wife, who's gone,
With deep regret and short discourse,
His application for divorce,
Before the Court of Common Pleas
He's filed q statement of his case,
And charges his Sophronia dear
with conduct very strange and queer,
Not content with one mans charms,
She folds whole townships IN her arms.
In gross neglect of duty she
Is worse than Madame Xantppe,
And makes his home from sill 10 spire
About as hot as hades fire..
In eighteen hundred and sixty-six
She hitched herself to Edwin Wiezs,
And leaving the plaintiff quite alone
She soped with Ed to parts unknown.
Complainant mourns, alas, alack
But mours for fear that she II come back;
And, therefore, to Judge Tuttles gone
10 cut the knot thai made them one.
At next November term of court
Sophronia will please report;
Or, in default of doing so,
Petitioner will not be slow
To ask Ju lge futile to cut the chain
And make the prisoner free again,

granite, the base stone of Quincy granite which
bears on the front and rear faces bronze repro
duction of the Cavalry Corps badge. The die is
also of Quincy granite, finely hammered. On
the base in raised polished letters is the record
of the regiment, and above this the State coat
of,arms in bronze, which also appears on the
rear of the stone. The horses head, which is
the most distinctive feature of the monument,
is from spirited model of Caspar Bonderl, the
noted New York sculptor, and recalls the cele-
brated examples in the frieze of the Parthenon.
The monument will cost 81, 500.

WOMAN'S TRIUMPH.
a Severe Surgical Operation. 1t is
Endured without taking Ether.
Return of the Disease
prevented.

From the Correspondence of the Kingston, N. z.
y Fireman.
The case of Mrs. Edward Meyers, of Rond-
out, New York, furnishes an apt illustration
of wonan's power of endurance. This lady
had been treated for months in the usual
way for Erysipelas of the hand, without
benefit. Not until her hand had become g.
mass of pHtrid flesh did she turn to DR.. David
Kennedy, proprietor of the "Fevorite REM
edy," which is made at Rondout, n. Y.
He informed her that it was impossible to
save the hand-it must be amputated. She
received the terrible intelligence quietly,
declined to take ether, sitipulating merely
TO hold her husband S hand during the oper-
alton, and underwent the painful process
without moving muscle or uttering groan.
Or. Kennedy then gave Favorite Remedy"
freely to cleanse the blood and prevent a re-
turn of the disease, and Mrs. Meyers now
lives and rejoices in her great deliverance.
DR.. Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy" is fast
becoming trusted household friend in all
cases of Female Weakness and diseases of
the blood, Kidney and Liver complaints,
and Constipation of the Bowels "a

National Legislation

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The Senate
will probably take up the conference
report on the river and harbor bill on
Monday and follow it with the sundry
civil and naval appropriation bills, in
turn. The subsequent course Of legis-
lstion for the week cannot be forecast
with safety, because so many important
measures have been taken up and laid
aside temporarily. The committee ex-
pect to secure, to morrow, IN the
House, consideration of Dis
trict business. Tue general deficiency
appropriate n bill Will be called up for
ac.lcn early in the WEI K. A debate is
expected upon the sections which make
provision for the payment of the French
spoliation claims. The appropriation
committee has nearly completed the
Notifications appropriation bill, and in
tends to report it in time for action by
the House after the passage of the gen
eral deficiency bill.

The skeena River Revolt.

CHICAGO, July pa Daily Neacs'
Winnipeg special says: The Skeena
River revolt continues to cause great
excitement. The local militia is pre-
pared to start for the scene of the out
break on short notice. A messenger ar
rived from Hazelton to night. He says
that when he escaped the Indians were
still laying to the Hudson's Bay fort,
where all the white population is
gathered. The garrison, he says, could
not hold out much longer and he fears
the troops now on the way there will
not arrive in time. General Middle
town, who commanded the troops
during the last rebellion, has again
been called upon to direc the troops
militia authorities in British Columbia
as follows: I can put 5000 men on
the cars in twenty-four hours en- route
for the scene
1t is said the Indian tribes in that
region are pretty well divided against
one another. and that probably some
of them would side with the whites
against their enemies. A short dis
lance above the mouth of the Skeena
river lies Duncan Island, where dwell
furious and bloodthirsty band of In
dians, known as the Meta.akahita tribe,
which gave SO much trouble to the gov
eminent few years ago, but afterwards
fed to some point IN Alaska. This
tribe has signi6ed its willingness to join
the rebellion and is reported on its way
to Hazelton. A rebellion much more
serious than that of two years ago is ex-
pected by those who know the character
OF the redskins now on the warpath.
Orders were received from Ottawa to-
night, where it is said the most alarming
intelligence has been received. A gov
eminent battalion, which was first at
the front in the last rebellion has been
notified to hold itself in readiness. The
