at the utmost was to bring the criminal within the
penalties of the law, and to throw some light upon

the DistfctAttorney, in common with many others,
believed ferguity. She could not now be punished

The Divorce bill which recently passed the Bit
tl House of Lords, upon coming up in the House
o. Ccnmors, was mel, contrary TO the usual prac.
tic. Of the House, by an attempt to prevent its
secord reading +. was moved - pOstpore it for
month, With the expectation that before the
month vas over the session would have ended
Ibis bill, az it passed the House Of Lords provides
for ere atug a spocial Court TO sit in Loldon with
exclusive jurtdicOn in divorce cases, and With
powsr 10 eront divorces FOR adultery the part Of
the wife, bat rot on the pjIt Of The hpsbard, ex.
cep. with ore of four agsravat' DDS, viz incest,
b'gspy, gross cruelty, or deseytOn. The bill also
gives the Ccurt the power to jphct fine on the
aduherer.
One of the principal objections taken to the bill
il, that it allows, subsequent to divorce for adu-
teIy a Few marriage between The parties to the
adultery. Some o. TIE clergy of The English
Church allese religious scrupe9 as to celebrating
such marriages, and strenuous atte.npt was made
in The House Of Lords to make such marriages q
mere civil contract, in the celebration of which no
Gle ,man could be called upon to take a part
This. however, was defeated, on the ground that if
the law recognized such marriages, it could not
draw any distinction between them and Others
This provision of the new bill does not as a matter
of fact, make any alteration in the existing English
practice. There is, irdeed, staining order CT the
House of Lords that no divorce bill shall be brought
in which does not prohibit the woman guilty of
adultery from intermsryng with her paramour;
end all divorce bills, as originally introduced have
t.at clause. But before the passage OF the bill,
that prohibition is uniformly and as mater OF
course, struck out
But while the permission Of reTTIfiage -
parties guilty Of adultery, or at least re requiring
he clergy 10 assist n such marriages, is made one
of TIE leading Objec, ons to the new bill, very
rge part Of the oppe ,on 10 it comes from those
who are in fact opposed to afoIdins sny new IA
cilities to divorce. These parties regard divorce
ve,y much as theJ or Their predecessors used -
regard reading and wrtipg-as dangerous luxury,
in which it is best not to allow the people at large
TO participate. In this point Of view the Establish
ips special Court for divorce is ookol upon with
great jealousy. 1t is regarded as an entering
wedge ard dangerous one. Oace fam'iial,ze the
public with divorce ss judicial remedy, and the
occasions FOR administering that remedy viii be
constantly increasing.
A part of the opposition TO tte bill comes, how
ever frou on entirely opposite quarter 1t IS al
legged that the bill does not go far enough, and that
!. is very unjust toward women in restricting to SO
few The grounds upon which they can obtain re-
lease. I'm the House Of Lords it was insisted BY
Lord Lypdturst that deseriion ought to be a
erourd Of divorce, and be protested against the
bill because sn amendment of his to that effect was
rejected. lie attempt IN the House Of Com Nous

ty for the sum of 1896, 900. The history Of this
property is well known. In 1852 it was OF sensbly
sold to ID. Il. Marin for $I6),0OO; but the sale
was void, ed Judge Mitchell subsequently de.
cided in a suit brought by tax payer, that the
properly rsbtfully belonged to the city. AT the
time Of the pretended sale the purchaser paid
$4,000, since which time no payments have been
made. After several fiuitless efforts to cell it
back 10 the city, the Democrats of the Board Of
Aldermen have been induced to vote for tho
scheme. As it is thus brought before the
Corncilmen as partisan question, there 10 very
little doubt that they will concur and tdus the city
WIN so Ear as the Common Counci' cen do it, pay
500, 600 for its own property

no appropriation for the object, and the claimants
have already got out an execution and threaten to

There are other nice jobs of a smaller pattern on
hard, such as the removal of steamboat landings,
and the widening and extension Of streets, which will
eventually pay handsomely to somebody. If ths
stale be large it is easy to get anything through
the Common Council. About ten per cent for
heavy jobs or biud,ome contribution to the funds

The KITE MANIA.-This mania has
been prevailing for some time among
the Juveniles in town, particularly on
Front street. The number Of horses
scared, and runaways superinduccd
thereby, is very small in proportion to
the number of kites flying about. In
the absence Of "Uriah," to keep
Young America straight, some of
our country friends administers gentle
sw'tch castigation for soaring their
horses and Experimentation to their
circumstances. Look out boys! Get
longer strings, and put your kites up
out Of harms way, Or else get short
ones and leave them at home.

SuN-FLowER EXTRA.-Thcre stands
a sun-ilowcr, in the garden, adjoining
our Office, which beats anything of its
genus We have yet seen. 1t has on it,
as counted on Tuesday evening last,
Iva buds and .Govers, large and small,
and had not some of the limbs been
broken off, it would doubtless have rea-
chcd the number Of two hundred, and
may yet do SO, should our remarkable
growing season continue through this

or tall, but sends out bud at almost
every branch, hence the large number
counted.
