DEPRAVING YOUTH.

A Den on Front Street Where Children

zenith Of prosperity, which is probably
ahead of anything of the kind in Sacra.
mento. 1t occupies the ground floor of the
lodging house known as the Sacramento
House, and is run by two women of cues
tionable reputation, who, the police say
were recently forced to leave Oroyille DIV
the authorities there.
A SUNDAY UNION reporter accepted the
unpleasant duty of visiting the place last
night while the orgies were at full blast
and the spectacle which presented itself to
his gaze will long be remembered. To all
appearances species Of bal naSgue was in
progress, SO far as the female contingent
was concerned, while the male portion
made up for theiI lack of costumery bv
keeping themselves in a hilarious state of
lnebriety on some very bad liquor But
what struck the visitor most forcibly was
the extreme youth of many of the partici-
pants in the drunken dance. He counted
no less than fifteen boys, the eldest of
whom was not IA years of age, some in
short pants, who were capering about I'M
oei tuS hiouCchiDS luuueuCe Oh l1tOXlCaDtS
like old veterans. Besides these there
were five little girls, not one of them over
II years Of age, ell accomplished in pro-
family, vice, and cigarette smoking.
The place has become such nuisance
that the entire neighborhood is complain
ing OF it. Mrs Nichols, the proprietress of
the lodging house above the saloon, has
complained frequently to the police that
the all-night orgies were driving away all
of her roomeTs, bu; APPARENTLY nothing has
been done 10 abate the nuisance. Chief
Lee, she said, told her that he was aware
that the place was dead fall of the worst
character, tu. said be was powerless to set

place. MIS-. Nichols says She has been

GILLsBURG COMMENCEMENT.

Ono more year IN the history
of Gillsburg Collegiate Institute
has wound to close, and we
have just had another spiritual
literary and musical feast.
Rev. w. A. Mason, Of Crystal
Springs, Miss, preached the Com
mencement sermon Sunday, June
l5ih, from text 81 am tho light
Of the world" and it was grand
sermon. The contests for gold
medals in recitation aud otatory
were very interesting. Some Of
the rotations AMI speeches were
exceptionally good, and express
slons like this were heard: II had
no idea there wns such speaking
here The concert Monday
night delighted the large assembly
of friends and visitors. The pret-
test thing that right was a "hoap
drill" by some eight or ten lltlle
glrls in uniform. / doubt if there
Is school IN the land that can
produce anything to surpass it.
The dialogues and speeches were
mostly of Il humorous character,
and frequently the audience was
IN rapture of mirth.
On Commencement Day there
were graduated Miss Fannie
Cockerham and Mcssrs. P.EQum,
N. j. Naul, Z. r. Fate and j. A.
Maui. Taey spoke we'll, and the
parting with teachers and stu
dents, as expressed BY Miss Fan
ME, was sad.
Hon. j. II. Jones, Of Milkin-
son county, made the annual ad-
dress, which was timely and sug
gestivc. Great principles and
truths were presented, and strong
endorsement was gwen the Bible
rs being the Book of God.
In his address to the graduates,
President Dunn gave wholesome
advice,and urged them to go on IN
.he acquisition of knowledge.
Such entertainments would not
be complete without sweet music
With a new piano and a we'll
drilled class, Miss julia Battles
delighted us all III this line. And
then the GiIlsburg Brass Band,
considering the short time they
have had for study and practice,
surprised not a few people. It j,
claimed that Glllsburg now ha:
brass, brains and music.
The next session Will begtt

is solicited.

ABOUT DIVORCES.
June 10, 1890.

Ia Australla divorces have ucy-
er been sanctioned.
Divorces are scarcely ever
known to Occur in modern
Greece.
In Hindostan either party, for
a slight cause, may leave tho
other and marry.
Dlyorae5are scarcely allowed ia
Thlbet, unless with the consent
of both parties. Remarriage is
forbidden.
Among some tribes Of Amer
lcan Indians the pieces of sticks
given the witness of the marriage
are broken as slgn of divorce.
La Cochin China the parties de-
string divorce break pair of
chopstlcks in presence Of witness
es and the thing is done.
If the wife of Tuikoman asks
HIS PERMISSION to 90 out, and he
says "go, without adding "'come
back again" they are divorced.
Two kinds Of divorce are gran
ted CIrcassia. BY the first the rar-
ties can immediately marry again.
By the second, not for year.
In Siam the first wife may be
divorced, but not sold as others
may be. She may claim the first
child. The others belong to the
husband.
In Liberia if a maa IS dlssatis-
fed with the most trifling acts of
his wife he tarcs a cap or vail
from her face and that constitutes
a divorce.
In the Arct ic regions a man
who wants divorce leaves home
in anger and does not return for
several days. The wife tax es the
hint and departs.
In China divorces are allowed
IN all cases of crimlnallty, mutual
dislike, jealousy, incompati5illty
of temperament or too much To-
quacity on the part Of the wife.
4 mong the Tartars if the wife
is Ill treated she complains to the
Magistrate who attended by the
principal people. accompanie:
her to the houseand pronounces
divorce.
