of the people of St. Paul, that she had better
STAY at home with her mother the remainder Of
her life. The provisions of our statute in this
particular are considered just, equitable, and
liberal. And while all will assent to this, does
any feel justified in setting aside all those pro-
visions, and giving their vote to have one
more divorce bill bound among the session
laws of 1853.
Sir, the Territory of Minnesota has rcputa-
tioa that is not altogether an enviable one;
and although at first she had the example OF
other Territories to follow, yet she was not
long in establishing a precedent Of her own,
and such precedent as hope no other Terri
torial Legislature will ever attempt to initiate
and surely never can emulate.
Composed as this Legislature is, and as all
previous Legislatures have been in this Terri
tory. mostly of young-at least of unmarried
men, it may not be surprising that they should
lend a willing ear to the tales of misery that
are constantly being recited in their hearing;
and at once their sympathies are enlisted in be-
half of their suffering fellow-man. This is
natural and should be SO. If my warmest sym
pathes will avail anything, Mr.. Buel has it.
heartily commiserate with him in his trouble.
He is aged. Let us condole with him in
his misfortune; and if his tale of suffering
be founded on fact, he is entitled to our pity
But God forbid, that an interest in his behalf
should swerve us from the path of duty-that
duty we owe our fellow-men, ourselves and our
Territory. An injustice might be done Mrs. b.
that would be irremidable for life and at this
very moment she, for aught we know or have
any means of knowing, may be counting the
hours as they pass-may be waiting and watch
ing with intense anxiety for the return of her
long looked-for husband who is now engaged
the second time in obtaining the action of our
Legislature to grant him divorce from her
whose every thought is Of him, and every wish
for his welfare and return. Cases similar to
this have occurrcd--wrongs like these have
been committed ; and We're we to pursue the
course that has previously been adopted, such
instances would not be rare or hard to cite.
Mr.. Chairman, this is prolific subject, but
its merits and dement's have been so often dis
cussed that / will not detain the commit
tee longer, as any one who attempts to op-
pose bill for divorce is acting against pub
lie opinion and is doomed to be in hopeless
minority. But the seeming trifles in these
brief. though vague remarks, are to me conir-
nations strong as proofs of holy writ; and if
they shall induce members of this committee
to bestow upon the subject the thought that its
Importance demands-to scrutinize it in the
various phases in which it presents itself-to
reflect upon it CONSIDERABLY and dispassionate-
ly-I have accomplished all ask and all l wish.

MEDICAL TESTIMONY CANNOT be COSTRovER-
rED.-One of the most startling cases is narra-
ted of DR.. MLane's Vermifuge by DR.. John
Butler, of Lowell, Trumbnll Co. Ohio. The
case was that of a young lady who had been
veIy sick for eight years, and had consulted
number of physicians, who had treated it as one
of Prolapsus Uteri. DR. Butler was then called
in, and for time, believed with his predeces-
sors that it was a case of Prolapsus. He was
however, soon forced to the conclusion that his
patient was suffering from worms, and after
much persuation, prevailed upon her to take
two doses of DR.. M'Lane's Vermifuge. This
medicine had the effect of removing from her
q countless number of the largest size. After
she passed them, her health Immediately re-
turned. She is since married, and enjoys cx-
ccllent health.

The governors of the States on the

the government to take immediate and
necessary steps for the protection OF
Mexican inhabitants from injuries sus

the treaty OF Gauduloupe Hidalgo, for
the repression of the incursions and dep.
relations of the Indians on the frontier
borders. 81. 49,. --.....
The subject is to be laid before the

is this: The entire road is to be raised
several feet from the ground. The rails
are in the centre OF the way, near to.
gether, and the cars, instead OF beinv
supported by the axle are suspended from
it. The rails are elevated SO that the

tend down TO The bottom of the way.

steady their motion, and render j. almost
impossible for them ever TO get off the
track. In The view of the cars as thew
will appear when running, no wheels
can be seen. but the train looks as if i,
was sliding along on the bottom rails.

Washington, says double tracked road
