"A, New York dispatch says: "Col.
Ingersoll, Gen. Pryor and Gen. Mcmahon,
are about to begin suit on behalf Of Mrs.
James G, Blaine, Jr, against James g.
Blaine, ST., and wife, for 500, 900 for
alternating young Blaine's affections. Mrs.
Blaine, Jr., does not sue for divorce be-
cause she is a Catholic and divorce is not
tolerated by the church. One oofe the
points which will have a bearing ON the
case is that young Blaine is still a minor.
Col. Nevins, the father of Mrs. James G..
Blaine, Jr. says that Mrs. Blaine, ST., was
the cause of the domestic scandal.
The wheat crop in Dakota is 9,OOO,-

A wealthy young English man named
Henry Ashburton, has married a Sioux
maiden and will take her to England. A dis
patch from Dakato TO- the World says:
While preparing dinner in their tent
the first day after their arrival, a daughter
of one of the leading chiefs entered, and,
approaching the astonished young Briton,
| threw her arms around his neck and re-
peatedly kissed him. The young woman
was very. good looking and the young
man, though greatly astonished, did not
attempt to check her. Their acquaintance
ripened into love and the wedding took
place yesterday. The maiden is a half
breed, about eighteen years of age"
The Washington city papers state
that the new Chief Justice. (Fuller) swore
himself IN, a proceeding which they char
a~cterize as a new departure. To the aver
age mind it would, indeed, seem that be-
fore a man can administer an oath of Office
he must have been formally clothed with
that authority. Did the Presidents ap-
pointment and the Senate's confirmation
give him that authority? Our recollec-
ton is that Chief Justice Watt was
"sworn in" by the senior Justice of the
court, which appears to be the correct
course to pursue. However, we don't
propose to raise a point" as there is no
appeal from the action of the Supreme
Court of the United States.
