England, the Canadas, and from every State in the Union discontented husbands and wives have flocked to Indiana to procure divorces. As the law stood for some years an applicant for divorce could file a petition the day he came to the State and in a few weeks have a decree releasing him from his marriage vows. Divorce seekers hunted in couples. It frequently happened that a lady would arrive in Indianapolis with a male traveling companion, file her papers for divorce from an absent husband the same day. Procure a decree dissolving the marriage contract, based upon the evidence of the gentleman friend, and marry before leaving town—all of which was accomplished within a period of five or six weeks. A celebrated actress filed a petition asking a divorce from her husband on the ground of alleged cruelty. The charge was sustained by proof that, while coming from San Francisco to New York on an ocean steamer, the lady found her affinity in a gay and festive young gentleman who was in the habit of quoting Byron to her on deck while her husband was in his lonely state-room. A sharp reprimand from her cruel husband brought tears to the little woman's eyes, and for this an Indiana Judge gave her a decree which released her from the insupportable tyranny of her leigelord. Another case: A lady traveling to Indiana in company with her second choice, in pursuit of divorce and a second marriage, had testified her faith in the liberality of our laws, and the honor of her future husband in a very unequivocal manner. The Judge in whose Court the case was pending had a fit of stubbornness, and, under the depressing influence of an indigestible dinner, had denied the application. The poor woman was in a dilemma; the plan of escape by "swallowing both horns" had not yet been promulgated by the Sentinel She appealed to her attorney, who informed her that justice and divorces could be dispensed by the judicial fiat alone. She left the attorney in tears. The next morning His Honor came upon the bench and before the reading of the minutes, said he had disposed of a very important case the previous evening in a very hasty manner, and that after considering the case more fully he was satisfied that the petitioner was entitled to a divorce. It was decided accordingly. The lady and her witness were married in haste, and the happy pair left the city with an exalted opinion of Indiana justice Nearly every courthouse in Indiana has been the scene of such farces...Indianapolis Journal.

POLEMUS BRO'S, DEALERS IN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. HARDWARE. Stoves & Tinware, ANAHEIM, CAL. Some hard up editor gets off the following: 'We love to see the blooming rose in all its beauty dressed; we love to hear our friends disclose the emotion of the breast. We love to see the cars arrive, all laden at our door; we love to see our neighbors thrive and love to bless the poor. We love all these yet far above all that we ever said, we love — what every printer loves— to have subscription paid. An absent-minded Indianian who started out after his cow, found the bell in the road, and then pocketing it, followed its tinkling for over twenty miles before he remembered that it was not on the cow's neck. John B. Gough tells the following story, though the joke be at his own expense. Once while on a lecturing tour through England he was introduced to a village audience in these terms: "Ladies and gentlemen, Iave the 'onor to introduce to you the distinguished lecturer, Mr. John B. Gough, who will h'address us on the subject. You know that temperance is thought to be rather a dry subject; but to-night as we listen to our friend, the h'orator from h'over the hocean, we may 'ope to 'ave the miracle of Samson repeated, and to be filed with water from the jawbone of of a haass." HEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, JANUARY 28, 1871 Curing Bacon. In spite of the terrible trichinosis that modern savans tell us such horrifying stories about, swine's flesh must, for a long time to come, continue to be an indispensable in every American home. It is just as certain that much that now passes for bacon, and selling at a round price, too, is fit only for the dogs, or the soap boiler. Pardon the connection, ye Kings of the cauldron. We mean no affront. Now, it is just as easy to have good bacon as bad; and we feel prepared to tell how it may be done: As soon as the animal heat has fully left it—say by next morning after killing, or the evening of the same day if the weather is very cold—prepare to pack away in salt. First put on about a teaspoonful of fine saltpeter to each ham and shoulder, rubbing it in with the hand. Then salt each piece all over carefully, and pack down in bulk. About three pecks of salt to a thousand pounds of pork, will do for first salting. After three or four days, or at most, a week, break bulk and rub all over again with the old salt, and sprinkle on new salt as you pack it down. If weather is mild, and meat small, it will take plenty of salt in two weeks from killing. If the weather is cold, let lie one week longer. If meat is very large, it ought to lie in salt at least four weeks; and should be resalted once a week during that time: bring in all the saltings, a bushel to the Mountains of Silver. Upon the borders of Arizona and New Mexico some remarkable silver ledges have lately been discovered which are exciting the wonder of the geological world. There are three ledges which may be considered the main trunks or arteries, varying in width from ten to twelve hundred feet, cropping high above the ground for miles, more resembling the great wall of China than anything known in history besides. These huge barriers maintain a height varying from fifty to five hundred feet perpendicular. A description of these ledges quoted by the Hon R.C. McCormick of Arizona, in a speech delivered in Congress, includes the following statement: "I have visited many different ledges in various portions of the district, and, to my utter astonishment, they all exhibit the same general and uniform appearance, and show the best indications known in silver quartz. Nothing in history has any resemblance. The famous and world renowned mines of Mexico and Peru fall into utter nothingness when brought into comparison with this grand argentiferous deposit. It should be remembered that the mountains containing these rich ledges have been looked upon by thousands of travelers, have been passed and repassed for years, and yet, for the want of scientific knowledge, have been considered to consist only of Granite until the secret of their great value was made known by accident." After it has taken sufficient salt, wash every piece clean in warm water, cover flesh side with a thin coat of molasses, putting it on with a brush, and then sprinkle over with red or black pepper as long as any will stick on. Hang it up for smoking, taking care that the pieces do not touch; and let the hocks of hams and shoulders hang down. This will keep most of the fat and juices that usually drip out when the other end is down, from being lost. Begin to smoke at once; using green oak or hickory wood, and corn cobs. But we are never very particular as to this, and usually smoke with any material at hand. Chips from the woodpile answer very well. Smoke to a light brown or gingerbread color, and let hang until the beginning of spring. Then, before the advent of the bacon bug, give another day's smoking, and pack away out of the reach of that pest. For this purpose we use empty flour barrels, filling with meat to within six inches of the top, then covering with paper, after which fill up with ashes. The ashes keeps out the bug, and the paper prevents the ashes from getting on the bacon. This last, however, is immaterial, as meat may be preserved with halt the salt if afterward packed away in ashes. But as the ashes will adhere to the bacon and spoil its looks as a merchandise article, it is best to keep it off. Meat managed in this way will be sweet and juicy, and free from disgust "skippers," so common in old bacon. To cure bacon well, and see the permeation of the creosote (the preservative element of smoke) it is indispensable that it be thoroughly washed when taken out of the salt. We know men who hang up their meat with all the salt on that will stick, supposing that the salt will keep off the bug. It will not do this; and will hinder the process of curing. WHINING — There is a class of persons in this world, by no means small, whose prominent peculiarity is whining. They whine because they are poor; or it rich, because they have no health to carefully, and pack down in bulk about three pecks of salt to a thousand pounds of pork, will do for first salting. After three or four days, or at most, a week, break bulk and rub all over again with the old salt, and sprinkle on new salt as you pack it down. If weather is mild, and meat small, it will take plenty of salt in two weeks from killing. If the weather is cold, let lie one week longer. If meat is very large, it ought to lie in salt at least four weeks; and should be resalted once a week during that time: using, in all the saltings, a bushel to the thousand. KATE FIELD ON THE IDEAL AND REAL LOVERS.—Miss Field, in some hearty praise of Fetcher, the actor, says "Hungry for sympathy, women recognize their ideal in Fetcher's 'Ruy Blas' and 'Claude Melnotte,' and are grateful to the man. That he is the love for which they are willing to die, for which they would gladly perform manual offices through all time. When men in real life are such lovers as Fetober is on the stage, no woman will sigh for heaven; she will have found it on earth." Which shows, we fear, either a limited experience or very immature notions as to genuine love and its exhibition, on the part of our ardent and exacting Kate critic. The sober Christian Register talks sense back to her as follows: "We do not suppose that the young men of America often kneel gracefully to maidens, or declaim their desires in blank verse; but we do believe they are often terribly in earnest, and that they have their own hearty way of revealing the purity and strength of their affection. There are thousands of men in Boston, who love their famiies, and will toil as faithfully, and practice as much self denial in their behalf, as any Spaniards and Frenchmen on or off the stage. A manly contempt for melo-dramatic performance, is perfectly compatible with as warm, tender, and lofty expressions of absorbing devotion as American women need ask or crave. If they demand anything more than the spontaneous and natural utterance of real feeling, we hope they will not get it, even if there should never be another wedding on the continent. And let no young man be bribed into paying theatrical attention to young women by any proffered future consideration in the form of lighting his pipe, blacking his boots, mending his clothes, or scrubbing floors generally, en the part of esthetic maidens who wish to be artistically wooed and eloquently won. REPLANTING TEETH — A new feature in dentistry is recorded in the Transaction of the Odontological Society of London. It consists in the replantation of teeth which have been extracted. In other words, it has been found that in cases WHINING — There is a class of persons in this world, by no means small, whose prominent peculiarity is whining. They whine because they are poor; or if rich, because they have no health to enjoy their riches; they whine because it is too shiny; they whine because it is too rainy; they whine because they have "no luck" and others' prosperity exceeds theirs; they whine because some friends have died and they are still living; they whine because they have aches and pains, and have aches and pains because they whine, and they whine no one can tell why. Now, we would like to say a word to these whining persons: First Stop whining! It is no use, this everlasting complaining, fretting, scolding, fault-finding and whining. Why, you are the most deluded set of creatures that ever lived. Do you not know that it is a well settled principle of physiology and common sense, that these habits are more exhaustive of nervous vitality than almost any other violation of physiological law? And do you know that life is pretty much as you take and make it? You can make it bright, sunshiny, or you can make it dark, shadowy. This life is meant only to be disciplinary—to fit us for a higher and purer state of being. Then stop whining and fretting, and "go on your way rejoicing." GAY TOWN.—Fights occurred in two Chicago churches on a recent Sunday. In one pistol were drawn, and in the other, a deacon floored an interloper with a big Bible. Lively town, Chicago. REPLANTING TEETH — A new feature in dentistry is recorded in the Transaction of the Odontological Society of London. It consists in the replantation of teeth which have been extracted. In other words, it has been found that in cases of inflammation about the roots of a tooth the latter may be taken out, scraped and cleaned reinserted and made to do duty again. The method of procedure is to remove the diseased tooth; clean out its cavities, filling them up, after cleaning with carbolic acid, with cotton wool impregnated with the same; next, to scrape the fangs, but preserve the mucous membrane about the neck, and after bathing in a solution of carbo lic acid, return to its place. The London Lancet says, speaking of the process: "Mr. Lyans carried this out in fourteen cases for Mr. Boheman, with success; in the case of biscups and molars, no mechanical appliances being used to keep the teeth supported until they had become firm. For loud old maids, Sioux City wears the feather. They had a banquet on Thanksgiving day, to offset a bachelor banquet that night. Miss Kennedy made the speech, and wound up thus: "Let others do as they please, as for me I am determined to have a husband as soon as I can get one. And let us all see to it while it is called to-day, so that when another Thanksgiving day rolls around there will not be an old maid in Sionx City." For doxology they sang: "No one to love." Lot M. Morrill has been elected United States Senator from Maine. Irrigation and cultivation. The experience of Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico, has demonstrated the fact that as the area of cultivation increases the necessity for irrigation decreases. Rains fall at seasons, and in localities where they were previously unknown Moisture being attracted from the atmosphere by the large areas of verdure produced by extensive irrigation and cultivation, the excessive evaporation of those times when the country comprised a larger extent of desert, is compensated. In Utah the preponderance of moisture in the atmosphere over evaporation, is shown by the perceptible rise in the level of the great Salt Lake, which is reported at one foot per annum. The steamer now visits points hitherto inaccessible. In Colorado and Northern New Mexico the rivers are presenting larger volumes and intermittent streams are becoming constant in their flow. In some places irrigating canals are falling into disrepair for want of use and irrigation is coming to be by no means considered indispensable, and we have the authority of the Department of Agriculture for the statement that good crops are now often raised without it in places where a few years ago it would have been impossible. With the diversion, therefore, of Kern River into irrigating canals and ditches, and the extension of the area of cultivation, we may look not only for ameliorating climatic changes, but supplies of rain and flowing water amply sufficient to develop the latent fertility of the REAL AND REAL some hearty actor, says women recognize Ruy Blas' 'Ruy Blas' and are grateful to the love for life, for which men in real October is on the path for heaven; for earth." Which limited experiments as to exhibition, on the exacting Kate Christian Register follows: that the young wheel gracefully their desires in believe they are and that they may of revealing of their affections of men in humies, and will practice as much as any Spanish off the stage melodramaticly compatible and lofty expression as American one. If they demean the spontaneity of real feel not get it, even another wedding. And let no paying women by consideration in the blacking his eyes, or scrubbing heart of esthetic be artistically moon.

With the diversion, therefore, of Kern River into irrigating canals and ditches, and the extension of the area of cultivation, we may look not only for ameliorating climatic changes, but supplies of rain and flowing water amply sufficient to develop the latent fertility of the whole of this vast valley.—Kern County Courier. A Maimi county, Ohio, settler objects to a proposed railroad in that region in these words: "The people is gone wild on this 'ere railroad queschine. Houses that is now worth forty dollars won't be wuth five dollars a hed. Waggin makers will starve to deth. Oats won't be wuth nuthin' and we'll have to qut raisin on 'em.

I'll sell my forty and git for Arkansaw, if you don't stop this 'ere railroad" SCIENTIFIC ORIGINALS. The Moon. The moon's surface, to the human eye, appears to be composed of land and water, instead of hills and immense hollows or volcanic excavations. Upon this earth's surface there is about two thirds water and one-third land—and looking up at the full-moon, we behold nearly the same proportions of light and dark surface upon it; hence, I reason that the light, luminous part is water Large bodies of water are luminous, and possess greater reflecting powers than dry land. Nature at large—in this earth—seems to be made up of certain proportions of matter, and of dry and wet elements; and there is no good reason why the same laws should not extend to the moon. It is almost universally asserted that no atmosphere surrounds the moon. If this is so, how can we admit the theory of violent irruptions upon its surface, caused by volcanic explosions, the cavities of which are said to cover one-fourth of the surface, and sink to hundreds of miles beneath it. These effects, if they exist, could only be produced by combustion or suddenly expanded air or matter similar to that A new feature in the Transaction Society of London station of teeth infected.

It is almost universally asserted that no atmosphere surrounds the moon. If this is so, how can we admit the theory of violent irruptions upon its surface, caused by volcanic explosions, the cavities of which are said to cover one-fourth of the surface, and sink to hundreds of miles beneath it. These effects, if they exist, could only be produced by combustion or suddenly expanded air, or matter similar to that which produces explosive effects upon this earth; and into which matter carbon and oxygen largely enter. If explosions are possible, there must be air. If air exists, there must exist moisture—even water; and all the elements are in full operation. Nature could not—would not—allow such a waste spot so near the sun, which is the great life-giving source. The soil of the moon is quite likely productive of both vegetable and animal life. BETA. Meteorites. The falling of meteorites indicates that space contains a large quantity of disorganized matter, which floats along in currents, near where the attraction of the earth loses itself. This matter, in oscillating, sometimes comes within the attraction of the earth, moon or other planets, and is thus drawn rapidly to their surfaces. Upon striking the heavy atmosphere of our earth they generally ignite, and burn to meteoric dust in a few seconds, during which, they blaze along a distance of about twenty miles. Meteorites are chrysaline, therefore not of volcanic origin: BETA.
