BOUND TO HAVE A DIVORCE.

A Three Weeks Bridegroom Tries 20
Jump the Matrin onial Fence.
A young white man, well dressed, but
evidently from the country, walked into
Justice Sheftal's office yesterday morn
ing and begged the privilege of a private
consultation.
There's nobody in the Office" said the
justice. Just have a seat and say what
you please"
WELL" said the young man, otis this.
l married wife in Scriven county about
three weeks ago and brought her down to
Savannah to live. Now she has got mad
and don't want to live with me, and says she
is going back to her father. l want TO get
a divorce from her, aud I'll give you a
hundred dollars to represent me-" 800
Married three weeks aud want a
divorce, said the justice. "You are joking
amt you~
mo. Pm in earnest replied the mourn
full benedict, land I'll give you 800 to get
me divorce"
The justice informed him that according
to the Georgia law his wife must have de-
serted him for three years. or he must be
able to prove damaging charges against
her. Furthermore, divorces were out of
his usual line of business.
But I'm going to get divorce from
that woman anyhow said the young man.
'Let me tell you something, young fell
low" said the justice. ''Thls Is all foolish
ness about you getting divorce. No man
ever got enough of a wife IN three weeks
time. You take that hundred dollars, and
go down town and buy your wife a dress
or some jewelry, or something you know
she will like, and then you carry it home
and give it to her. I'll guarantee she'll
come round all right. You don't want any
divorce"
The young man did some hard thinking
for little while, and then said, Judge,
believe I'll take your advice"

NEW ORLEANS, May 21.-Owing to the

a majority Of the members Of the legls-

intention Of the arti-lottery party to

is no doubt that thirty-eight members

compact TO oppose the lottery, This is

to like it! Our statesman thinks Cousin

Monday night Speaker Reed passed the
sentence or censure of the House upon
Representative William d. Bynum, of
Indiana, and Mr.. Bynum standing be-
fore the bar OF the House, was support
ed by the 140 Democrats who had voted
against the resolution of censure. The
1876 Republicans, who passed the unjust
and uncailed for censure, sat patiently
IN their seats to regard scene that will
make Bynum hero in history when the
names Of his jurymen are forgotten.
The sentence was framed to fit an alleg-
ed offence com mitted Saturday. 1t was
really penalty imposed for resentment
expressed months ago, of the Speakers
tyranny and usurpation of power. Speak
er Reed may consider himself "even"
with Mr.. Bynum, the Representa-
tive in Congress from President
Harrison's Indiana district. Ever
since Mr.. Bynum, in language that was
full Of contempt for the man whom he
regarded as tyrant and a despot, and
whom he characterized as q usurper,
the Republicans have hated him and
the Speaker has not concealed his re-
sentiment.

Of Kemmler, under sentence CT dealt by

Court of the United States to day. R',er
VI. Sherman, counsel for Kemmler, who
made the application, appeared for the
condemned murderer. He based his
argument on the fourteenth amendment
to the Federal constitution, which pro-
yides that mo State shall make or en-
force any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities Of citizens OF
the United States, nor shall any State de.
priye any person OF life, liberty or prop

demand was on the 9Th amendment,
which provides that "cruel and unusal
punishments shall not be inflicted" The
