Easy Divorce.

What man hath joined together, man may put asunder," so holds a Western Justice of the Peace, who has recently granted a divorce after the manner of dissolution of partnership. A man and wo- man in Michigan, after a short welded life, recently walked eight miles to the justice who married them and demanded a divorce. After a command to 'unjine hands," the justice proceeded to administer an oath of mutual re- nunciation to each party. Then stepping to the door, he loudly proclaimed the divorce. Receiv- ing no objection be pronounced the marriage annulled in the fol- lowing words: Then, by virtue of the power in me vested by the Legislature of the State of Michi- gan and my official oath, l hereby declare the partnership hereto K isting between the parties of this suit to be thIs day dissolved by mutual consent.

BOiIvia'S Wealth.

Bolivia is doubtless the richest
 in minerals of any land on the globe, and millions upon millions of precious metals have been taken
 out of her mines by primitive pro cesses which still exist, and must exist till railroads are constructed 10 carry machinery there. Every ounce of ore that finds its way out of the Andres is carried on the back of man or llama, and the quartz is crushed by rolling heavy logs upon it. By this method Bolivia exports from 12,00O,000 to 100000 of gold and silver annu- ally, and the output would be fabulous if modern machinery could be taken into the mines. The distance from Jujuy to the fartheresG mining district of Boli- via IS 700 miles, and 1t is no farther to the diamond fields Of Brazil. Bolivia offers a grant If twelve square leagues of land and $40, 0,000 mile for the extension of the Argentine Northern to Sucre, and English capitalists are ready to continue the work as soon as the Argentine government drops it at the boundary line. When it is built the owners of thls road will hold the key to a country which has excited the cupidity of adventurers since the new world was discovered. It has furnished food for four centuries of fable. and armies of men have died ill search of its treasures. A territory as large as that which lies between the Mississippi river and the Rocky mountains remains entirely unexplored.
 On its borders are the richest of agricultural lands, immense tracts of timber, diamond strewn streams, and the silver and gold deposits of Cerro de Pasco and Potosi. What lies within is the subject of specu- lation. The tales of explorers who have attempted to penetrate It's mysteries read like the old romances of Golconda and Fl Dorado of the Amazons, where women warriors wore armors of solid gold, but the swamps and the mountains, the rivers that can not be forded and the jungles that forbid search, the absence of food and the difficulty of carrying suffi- cient supplies on foot, with the other obstacles that have prevented exploration, will be overcome eventually, and the secret that has tantaIized the world for four cen turies will be told by ambitious scientists.

DRE COLD.
'Fhc Only Tl.iny That Makes life
 Worth Living at st. Paul.

"Yes," remarked the St. Paul
 man to friend from Chicago as
 he stood arrayed in his blanket
 suit and adjusted a couple of buck
 skin chest protectors; ives, there is something about the air of this
 Northwestern climate which causes a person not to notice the
 cold. Its extreme dryness," he
 continued, as he drew a couple of
 extra woolen socks, a pair of Sean
 dinavian sheepskin boots and some
 Alaska overshoes its extreme
 dryness makes a degree of cold,
 reckoned by the mercury, which
 would be unbearable Tn other
 attitudes, simply exhilarating
 here. 1 have suffered more with
 the cold Tn Michigan, for in stance" he added, as he drew on
 pair of goatskin lPggings, ad- justed a double fur cap and tied on some Esquimau earmuffs-" in Michigan or Illinois, we will say,
 with the thermometer at zero or above than l have here with it at from 45 to 5 below. The dryuess of our winter air is certainly re- markable," he went on, as he wound a couple of rods of red woolen scarf about his neck, wrapped a dozen newspapers around his body, drew on full cloth overcoat, a winter cloth over coat, a light buffalo-skin overcoat and Q heavy polar skin overcoat; mo, if you have never enjoyed our glorious Minnesota winter c-i- mate with its dry atmosphere, its bright sunshine and invigorating ozone, you would scarcely believe some things l could tell you about 1t. The air Is so dry" he con tinued, as he adjusted his leather nose-protector, drew on his rein deer skin mittens. and carefully closed one eye-hole in the seal skin mask he drew down from his cap-"i it is so dry that actually it seems next to impossible to feel the cold at all. We can scarcely realize in the spring that we have had winter, owing to the extreme dryness of the atmosphere. By the way" he went, turning to his wife, just bring me couple of blankets and bedquilts to throw over my shoulders, and hand me that huff with the hot soap-stone in it, and now I'll take a pull at this jug of brandy and whale oil, and then if you'll have the girl bring mp my snowshoes and ice berg scaling stick I'll step over and see them pry the workmen off the top of the ice palace who were frozen on yesterday. I tell you we wouldn't be going out this way 500 miles further south where the air is damp and chilly. Moth ing but our dry air makes it pos sible."

BRAN FOR FEEDING.-Bran is good
feed for stock, and whenever it can be
secured at fair prices, there are few
farmers but that can use it to good
advantage. It adds to the value of a
number of materials raised upon the
farm and used for feed, and at the
same time adds to the value Of the
manure. In localities where more
care is taken to secure not only
the largest quantity but the best
quality of manure, bran is pur.
chased for feeding, AMI is it claimed
it enriches the manure sufficiently to
pay for the cost of the bran; it is
profitable for feeding milch cows
during the year both winter and sum.
mer. 1t is one Of the best feeds tha.
can be given to a SOW near farrowing,
and while she.is nursing her pigs. It
is cheap food to give growing pigs
to keep them in healthy and thrifty
condition. Bran increases the valne
Of sheaf, oats, hay, straw and corn
fodder, if fed in connection with any
of them, by making them more com.
plete as food, and makes up a good
variety, a desirable item in feeding
stock if the best possible results are
to be secured. OF course the price
should always be considered in decid.
ing whether bran can be used profta-
bly, or not. II other foods like corn
and oats are high, bran can be used
proftably at q higher price than if
these materials can be secured at
lower prices. If properly stored
where it will keep dry, bran can be
kept in good condition all winter, so
that as is often the case, if the price
is reasonably low in the fall il will
not be bad plan to purchase a good
supply and then store for winter, 10
be used as needed. The most econom.
ical plan is as far as possible to secure
a sufficient amount of feed in the fall.
In a majority of cases it can be secur-
ed at lower price so as TO pay well
for purchasing at that time. TIE
feeding value of a number of materials
may be considerably increased and
better gain at a less cost be secured.

ceeded on our way and arrived home
safe. but tired. Sunday we were
given The opportunity of seeing the
islaad. Mr.. James Coppage. our host.
harnsssed his team and drove to many
places OF note. our chief object being
to see White Plains, another old home
stead; this, contracted TO Jutland, was
dilapidated, but fine soil, deserted en-
tirely by its owners; from there we
visited another. known as Martin
Manor; fine situation. but in nearly
as bad condition; returning stopped
at Great Mills, little village with
postofice. store and shops. here we
enjoyed an oyster scald. After an
extended trip and pleasant drive we
arrived home to find our hostess, in
our absence, had prepared us tur-
key supper, but, alasl oysters had done
the work, no room left for turkey.
We spent the night with Mr.. VIM.
Coppage. Monday morning we took
n tramp over his large estate and
were very much pleased with his
home place in particular, it also COM
msnds excellent water views; here we
were treated to some Of the finest
oysters we ever saw. After returning
from our tramp Mr.. Coppage hal ness
ell his team and took us to see other
portions Of the county; on this trip we
visited Mr.. Jack Harris, formerly of
Chestsrtown; we found him looking
well and glad to see us; returning we
left our kind host and started for
home, arriving safely this afternoon,
Oct. 23d, none the worse for wear and
rot regrssting our trip. Our conclu-
sions are: that with push and little
capital, st. Mary's might be made to
compare favorably with our beautiful
Kent; the soil is good, and susceptible
of high state of cultivation; land
rolling and we'll drained. and mu st in

How New YORK WAS Won Fo

How New YORK WAS Won FOR
HARRIsoN.-F. A. R. the New York
correspondent Of the Baltimore San
writes to his paper of the sth instant.
as follows:
"In the roar Of triumph which goes
up from the victorious party it will
be best for them not to mistake the
meaning of the result in New York.
The out-and-o out use of money, added
to the influence of local causes, has
made up the Harrison plurality in
this State. To credit it to opposition
to tariff reform among the people is
to tritle with the truth. When Con-
necticut and New Jersey go for Cleve-
land it is folly to say he lost New
York on account Of the tariff. The
money of Pennsylvania monopolists
and the treachery of local factions
has lost New York. Cleveland is the
victim, just as Hancock was in 1880.
But the popular vote of the country
will demonstrate that tariff reform ia
on the path to victory, and the day
is comparatively not far distant when
the control of the destinies of the ma.
tion will not depend upon corrupt
bargains or the resentments Of local
politicians in New York. 1t is said,
whether truly or not, that $4,000
was the price paid for the alleged
doctored returns in BROOKLYN"

THE FooL's NIMBLE SIxPENcEs.-
Some clever rascal in London adver-
ilsed that he would, on receipt of six
pence in stamps, return to the sender
one shilling. The advertisement was
published prominently enough to at
tract considerable attention, and it
naturally excited remark. To most
rersons it seemed a very transparent
hnrnbug, too silly to be called fraud,
but .here were few curious individ-
nais who determined to see whether
the advertiser was a crank or wheth-
er he had some game, so they sent on
their sixpences. By return mail each
one received the shilling. A. few days
after the same advertisement appear
cd again in several Of the newspapers,
and everybody who had tried it be-
f.re told all Of his friends about it.
The result was that several hundred
sixpences were received and next day
a. many shillings went back. The
third time the advertisement appear
c'' the mail received by the clever
-h'Ter was simply enormous. Let.
te's came from all parts of the king
dora and from all sorts of people, high
and low, rich and poor. The rogue
p"cketed several thousands of pounds,
l''l, curiously enough, neglected to
make any returns.
