Frem the Elyria Delnocrnt.

From the Elyria Democrat.
The Court House WIS crowded to its ut
most capacity last saturday evening to hear
the case of Burrell rs. Burrell for divorce;
and among the erowd we learn that there
were at least one hundred females. We
venture to say, that if ten of the most in
1uential persons town, had spent whole
day in urging the people to attend a wdr
meeting. or any other Kind of meeting,
they would not have succeeded in getting
out half as many persons as were on this
trial. There wasnothing in the social rela-
ti0hs Of tie parties that would excite an un-
u.ual interest 10 the case, and the character
OF the. testimony was known to be such that
is neither refining nor euobing to those who
listened to itsrccital.
We simply suggest that the presence of
so large a crowd of both sexes, knowing
what the character of the testimony was to
be, is evidence Of a vitiated taste, a morbid
curiosity, the Indulgence of which may be
natural to the race, but is far from being
credltahIo to the community making any
pretentions t0refiiiement There were per-
sons in attendance who would feel that their
moral senSibilitics would be greatly shocked
at beng present at a social dance where none
were present but those Of high respectable
tlty, and yet they We're doubtless greatly edi-
fed at the recital Of domestic troubles that
ought to create other feeling than an eager
desire to listen to their recital
r From the Cleveland Herald.
The above we cut from the Eyria Demo
crdt, and if accounts we hear be true, that
divorce case developed a prurient curiosity
on the part OF at least one hundred and
fifty females of Elyria, that should put the
crimson on one handred and fifty checks
to say nothing of the bushes the friends of
such parties are obliged to sfffer. through
their conduct. The case on trial was per-
fectly we'll known. through all that eomnr-
nifty, as involving naked question of mat
rlnoniai infidelity. The testimony, mainly,
was in depositions, so that the nature of it
was matter Of publicnotority, and it was
known to be such case as 10 decent female
should listen to, except upon compulsicn.
In fact, so indecent were some developments
that the Court felt bound to forbid the read
ing OF many portions Of the testimony be-
fore tenales-- and so disappointed, in part,
the very curiosity these women came there
to crafty, and administered IA robuke they
should remember as long as they live s
! And there were women, probably, in that
crowd blocking the passage ways and the
whoee faces are set, Ike fiut,
against what are known as the fashionable
Of the day--such as card

proprety mortal shock to ask them to

Exposing Life and Lending Mon

The brave soldier who exposes his life for
his country and takes wounds in her SER
vice, is paid in greenbacks, worth fifty cents
in specie on the dollar. The capitalist who
lends his money to. the country is paid prin-
cipal and interest in gold, which is worth
twice as much as the paper that is given the
soldier. The money OF the capitalist is,
therefore, considered by the Government as
far more precious than the soldiers blood.
The officers income, which he has earned
by putting his life in peril, is taxed, while
the capitalist, who derives income from his
lent money merely, is not taxed on the To-
