CURIOUS LEGISLATIVE hEPORT.-ln
the Ohio Legislature the other day,
the petition Of James and Maria Sutton.
of Cincinnati, who were married in
1917, and after living together thirty
years, had been separated for ten years
and asked the Legislature to divorce
them, was referred to the committee,
on Federal Relations" The commit
tee submitted on the same day the fol-
lowing report:
1.-The observation-disclosures and Maria
Sutton, do not sufficiently set forth the
cause why they mutually severed and
parted and after cohabitation Of thir-
ty years. it is necessarily very impor-
tant to know these reasons. They leave
an immense range of inference in the
minds of this learned assembly. They
might have been dissatisfied with each
others personal beauty. Or wearied with
their respective mutual attractions
They might have been fighting con
stantly for thirty years. and at last both
being exhausted, and neither being able
to come up to time,' they mutually
backed out, fzzled and crawled away
from this scene of combat. Again,
some direful fend in moustache and
patent leather boots, may have intruded
his fascinating but diabolical f CURE into
their peaceful domestic circle, poisoned
the happiness of that shrine, and final.
ly caused separation between the bles
sed pair, and connection between his
own back and a tough cow-hide. Which
Of these is the cause, the committee are
unable to say.
"Again, they are of opinion that two
mortal sinners, who have been in pur.
gatory for thirty years, should certainly
be put through in one direction or the
other, instead Of being allowed to return
to the terrestrial condition of their for.
mer existence. A precedent will be
found for this course in the case Of Or.
pheus vs.. Pluto first Pandemonium
Reports, 729.
"The committee could see no reason
why these evidently ancient turtle doves
should not peaceably and quietly pursue
the course they practiced for thirty
years. and mutually return to each
others bosoms; and would advise this
course for re asons as follows:
"1or high the bliss that waits in welded lore,
But, purs:t, emblem Of the bliss above,
OF one fond heart to be the slave and lord,
Bless and be blessed, adore and be adored
To draw new rapture from another's joy
To share each pang, and half Its sting destroy,
To own the link Of soul, the charm Of mind
That hearts to hearts, and hands to hands bind
For ever and ever-amen"
1.-The committee being therefore, un.
appraised of the cause of this separation
or it's probable. monstrous result, car
only recommend the House to advise
them to stick it out for their brief flu
ture on this earth. Whatever their diff
| ficulties or embarrassment may b.
whether sentimental or constitutional
the difficulties of the Legislature are
both sentimental and constitutional
as therefore. this House would not i
it could, nor couldn't if it would, they
recommend the petitioners to the
Court of Common Pleas, and to beware
of bigamy."

present rate of taxation, and reasonable
allowance for the increase Of population and
the value of property, and manage the whole
of the city's businrss-continue all necessary
improvement all just and legitimate
demands up fire ard police depart
Inents-and guarantee more general satisfac-
ton and comfort TO the citizens than has
been given heretofore The only conditions
j shall require, will be that the Mayor and
Common Council shall ice discharged-and
that nv contract shall continue for five years,
dating from the first of last July. In addi-
ton will found an Orphan Asylum at not
less than $4,000 expense. L will represent
in the Board of Directors the city's stock in
the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad and
have the benefit of all dividends that may
accrue. The minor details may be agreed

RUSSIAN TREATY WITH CHNA.-Thc New
York Times is not singular in its suspicion
that Russia will take the lions share OF the
Chinese plumber, and it points out, as Of
parallel Importance with our purchase of
Louisiana from France, the transaction by
which the frontier of China. instead of curving
some hundreds OF miles to the northward in
Guiding the entire course of the Amoor, and
the larger portion of its watershed, is now
curved as decidedly southwark, cedng vast
regions. embracing near two thousand miles
OF the AmOor and its navigation, TO the Gar.
The transaction is probably as important, as
big with inconceivable cons, quencts. as the
purchase of Louisiana from France has been
to the United States. The Paris Presse furn-
ishes some historic notes of this territory, APP
posite to its transfer. 1t states that when
Siberia was conquered in 1882 by Jcrnak,
Hoffman of the Don Cossacks, an attempt was
made to embrace the Amoor region in the
new acquisition The Emperor Alexis, in
1918, sent a first expedition to explore the
river A long reach from the mouth was
thus opened to traffic, and presently the Rus
slams were taking every advantage Of the OPP
portunity. The Chinese, Jealous of their sue
cess interferrd, quarrclled with the settlers,
and eventually drove them and their com
merce away. At last, in 1859, the disputed
right was adjusted by n treaty, in the Ii go
tiation of which the Chinese displayed their
usual ill-iaith. The treaty gave up the whole
river to the Tartars, leaving only meagre
right of navigation, which although of itself
almost worthless, has not been without ind-
rect value On the strength of this reserva-
ton the Russians have employed the last half
century in peopling, developing, and possess
ing themselves Of the great aud fertile val
ley; have placed shipping on the river;
brought fleets of traders to its mouth; have
built forts and cities; and are talking of rail
roads, telegraphs, and machine shops. The
treaty of June l, 1858, converts this tenure,
by suferance, into tenure in fee simple; and
hereafter the map colorist must continue the
hue of the Russian empire very nearly to the
gates of Pekin.
