LAWS OF DIvoRCE.-We have thirty-two
States, and there are almost as many different
laws OF divorce AS there are States. The reader
may see some OF these differences by the fol-
lowing statement:
/. In the States Of Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi, tw0-thirds OF the Legislature must
concur with decision by the court to make
divorce.
2. In Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, South
Carolina, Louisiana and Missouri, no divorce
can be granted, but by special act of the Leg.
isature; ana South Carolina has never granted
= divorce.
g. In the States of Connecticut, Ohio and
Illinois, all divorces are total.
f. In Massachusetts, New York and North
Carolina, no;hing but adultery is cause of d.
vorce.
6. ln Indiana, We believe, anything is
cause, in the discretion of the Court In the
recent Presbyterian Assembly at Chicago, an
elder from that State rose, on the trial of Mr..
Shields, and said that "as he came from Indiana,
