The City OF Refuge for Crazy
Wives and Mnavish Husbands.

Indiana has gained notoriety BY her
scandalons Divorce Laws that makes that
State haven of refuge for all women too
strong minded to be satisfied with one bus
band, and for all men who want to get un-
married and have not courage to admins
ter strychninc to their wives. --
We see in the indianapolis Journal the
following beautiful illustration Of the work
ing of the Indiana law:
In the discussion of amendments to the
divorce laws in the Senate, case was dis
covered in which gentleman in Leaven-
worth, Kansas, had furnished his wife with
money to visit her friends in the East, and
10 travel for the benefit of her health
On arriving at Indianapolis, she concluded
10 take advantage Of the Indiana divorce
law, and procure notification of her mar
riage. She then went TO Kekomo, where
she made affidavit that she was bona Jfde
resident of the State of Indiana, and filed
a complaint in the Howard circuit court,
against her husband for divorce, notice
of which was published for the benefit Of
her husband, who was a nonresident Of the
state. In the meantime, her husband
thought she was in the East, as be receiv
ed letters from her post-marked first at
Cleveland and afterwards at Boston.
While still under the impression that his
wife was at Boston, the husband received
copy of the Howard Tribune, containing
q notice of the filing Of the complaint
against him. He Immediately left Leaven
worth, and arrived at indianapolis, reach
ing the city on Saturday, the goth of No
vember. The Howard circuit commenced
its session on the following Monday-the
22d, and to reach Kokomo in time to an
swer the complaint against him. he had to
hire locomotive on the Peru and Indian
apolis Railroad to take him to Kokomo, in
order to be in court at the proper hour.
The reason, stated for the defence made
in the case was that the wife had been in
duced to ask for divorce under improper
influences. She has been for some time
half crazed by spiritualism, and the hus-
band thought if he could place her beyond
these influences, she would abandon the suit.
The case is still pending.
The following paragraph is from the Bos-
ton Traveler of Friday:
sPIRITUALIsM IN THE FAMILY CIRCLE.
We regret to hear that a gentleman of
this city, OF distinguished literary and scien-
tifc attainments, one who bears venera-
ted name, and whose genius and science
has given an important improvement TO the
cities of the United States, has been so far
bewildered in the mazes of Spiritualism,
as to believe that he is wrongly mated
with an amiable and devoted wife and has
found his spiritual affinity with another
young lady. As we have been informed,
the wife though heart-broken by the devel-
opment, and having one child, has assented
to the request of her husband for a separa
ton, and he has gone to Indiana to pro-
cure divorce, in order that he may marry
