There is old proverb, that will travel

This may be the fact in certain cases but there are
exceptions to all general rules. Truth in the Her.

Some person has sent me a copy Of forlorn, sor-

The distance is over 200 miles, and has not been
pc rfermed since the river has been closed in less
than 36 hours. The pleasure of the trip may be in

David Frost, and Eveline, his wife, have perform
ed pas de deuz in the Senate today, very much TO
the amusement of the spectators.
Mr.. Tallmadge said some Senators had called for
the original petition, with the accompanying docu-
ments. These all on the files Of the Assembly,
and could not be obtained without special resolu-
ton. He thought il a that called for the
interposition of the Legislature. There had been
no fraud, and therefore remedy could be had in
the Court of Chancery. The marriage had been So
cmniscd according the forms Of law but il could
not be contaminated in consequence Of the perversc
disposition Of the female There seemed to be a
physical impossibiiify Of the marriage being CON
summsted, and he hoped the relief contemplated by
the bill would be extended TO the unfortunate hus-
band
Col. Young was ready to relieve David, but he
thought the bill ought to be amended TO inder-
dict Eveline from marrying again. II was claimed
that the marriage was sudden freak, but he thought
such freaks deserved the apprehension OF the
Legislature. Her conduct was outrageous, and he
would not consent To sanction such trlng with the
holy ordinance Of marriage. II, as was pretended,
she was laboring under mental alteration, the do
cuments would show that the alteration had existed
for long time. As to any physical obstacle TO the
contamination Of the marriage, spoken Of by Mr.
Talmadge he had heard Of il before, could
he imagine the mode by which that Senator had be-
apprized of the fact. lie thought there might
be mental inpossiJility, and for that reason, he
would prohibit Eveline from legally playing any
other man the trick.
Gen. Root said il appeared that the marriage had
not been consummated on account of the contumacy
Of the fair hdiluciRdte-he would not say fral one
Cor there was no evidence Of that-brt he would not
consent to nterdct her from marrying again, never
thcless. He would not consent to the insertion of
such abomnable provision in the Statute Book,
under aHy circumstances. Such measure would
stine nature, inure the public morals, and sanction
illicit intercourse. Nobody would be fool enough
70 marry her again, without some better assurance
thai she would consummatc the match, than could
be furnished by any Of the Legislature. Divorce

can without IL.
There were but few ladies' in the Senate Chamber
this morning. in consequence of foul weather and a.
il was desirable that they should have the full brn
eft Of the discussion, the matter laid over ug
another day.
In the House, the resolution To remove the Cana
Commissioners came up. Mr. Roosevelt made a spcech
