A copy of his petition was aeivid upon who did not oppose the pro ceedings. * On the Hading of the Jury in the di voroe proceedings, Judge K. H> Cab loway, judge of the superior court of Richmond county, Georgia, ordered and deoned, "that the mid William WeetmorSmnd and the said Malsey Westmoreland be, and they are here by, totally divorced from each other.” And it was ordered 1 ‘that they each be privileged to marry again without lay restraint Imposed by their said marriage to each other.” —Two years after this deeree was granted William Westmoreland mar ried again and went to housekeeping with hie bride, nee Mim Adora Bur gees, in the community of bis South Carolina heme.

The mamaore at the American PresbyMrlau mission at Ltenohaq on October 28, when five persons were killed and two severly wounded by a m >b of Chinamen was caused by the action of two members of tuomlsslon the daughter of Dr. Machle and a deaconess, in endeavoring to dissuade a number of Ohlneee worshippers from (flaring prayers to an Idol. The two women are said'to have seised the Image which the Ohlnaooen were worshipping and refuse d to rsturn it. The mob destroyed all the American missionary establishments and sub- J-oted the mlsblonarles to many out rages. The bodies of five persons who were killed were thrown into the river. Six French priests living in the vicinity were not harmed. There is no fear of further trouble in Lien obau. A Chinese mandarin dispatch ed soldiers to the scene as soon as he heard of the trouble, but they arrived to late to save the missionaries. It is also stated that the mob was anger ed at a request by Dr. Machle that a temporary theatre which had been erected near the American mission hospital, should be removed. The rcob found a skeleton in the mission instruction room and carried it in the prooeasioD through the town, exhibitr ing it as an instenos of tbs foreigner’s treatment of the Chinese. The re quest of Dr. Machle for the removal of the theatre was on tcxmnt of the nolee that was mad* during the per* formanoes.

The State’s position wss that tiie divorce Westmoreland obtained in Georgia was no good for the reason, as the solicitor contended, that the courts of Georgia had ne jurisdiction over Westmoreland, as he was not orttton of Georgia, but of South Oaro- Jina. And to vUbitantiate this cod tendon evidence was introduced to show that Westmotaland’s claim to etknonahip a a Gaorgsan only went to the extent of his renting a room in Augusta, which he only occasionally ones or twice a month would mats a flying visit to Augusta, add that he had never bandoned bis south Carolina citizen ship; that a temporary absence from the State does not change the roe! danoe nr domide of a person. There was a good deal of evidence Introduced tending to prove that Westmoreland never permamently abandoned or Intended to abondon hie South Carolina residence an( therefore, could not be said to have been s citizen of Auguste. The prin dpel fight in the case was on the point of Jurisdiction and whether or notthe Judgment of a foreign court waa blading upon the court of trial now sitting on the case.

If a boy turns cut to be dgsr ette tided with a laugh that woulc make the wild untuiorted donkey feel p-erfrc.ly at home in his society, and with an untrammeled and unoor q isr- able desire to avoid work it is safe tc -ay the parents might have ii vested to better advantages. *-But if the boy groove up with tbe lesson well learner that wet Lb and success grow ot ly or "ushes by the sweat of the brow, t) e parents need not begrudge whatever they have spent on him, for he will be a source of increasing joy and pride to their hearts when they grow old and their bands tremble aud their legs wabble and their steps are alow and faltering. They will then have two strong arms to lean upon. Oatroge Near Gaffney.
