CHOICE MISCELLANY.
Loved by the People.

1t is not yet time TO determine accurate,
ly the influence of Mr.. Lincoln. But the
historian who shall hereafter write tho his
tory of these days, cannot fail to take no.
tice of this popular affection. Il is devel-
opel everywhere, aud under all crcnm--
stauces. Men listen now to the story of
| his life and to the manner of his death,
with the deepest interest, and the year
that has passed leaves his memory rs green
and fresh as ever. His former partaer,
Mr.. Herndon, finds no difficulty in atir ct
ing the largest audiences with en- analysis
of his character and brief record of his
life, and the Six months o. the White
House. by Mr.. Carpenter is read by thous

sincere mourning. Those very places
which in 1864, rolled up the beaviest ma,
jorilies against the candidate OF the Repub.
licap party for the Presidency. when Presi,
dent Lincoln died were filled with mourners.
For the candidate there were hard words
for the man, tears.
1t was his honesty, first of oil, that won
him this love. He might err, he could not
deceive SO in time it had come to pass
that his honesty became proverbiaI, and
Honest Old Abe grew into household
word throughout the country. Truth at
home and truth abroad, this was bis unfal.
ing record. And one other quality besides
more than most men he possessed. He
knew and understood human nature
Where others saw the cxaggeraton of
crazy man, he saw the clear Judgment of
great leader. Where others cried out,
dyubkaTd, he saw hero of Vicksburg, and
q Commander in.chief of our armies. And
so by reason of these rare qualities he
trusted in the people. With large heart
and warm one, confidence in the mass
of the nation, great faith in the triumph
of popular institutions, and profound con,
viction of an overruling Providence, thus
stood before the people the Good President
Others may have invested the Presidential
office with more dignity. bpt who, like him,
has won In it the warm love OF an entire
nation. Gin. Gazstte.

Law and statistics Of Divorces IN onto.


In, the report of tho Commissioner Of
Statistics Of the State Of Ohio for 1865.
new class Of statistics is introduced. in re.
lation TO tho number aud character Of di.
vorees. The whole number granted reached
last year eight hundred and thirty.seven.
This, at the present population of the State,
ia one to three thousand persons, aud one
divorce to twenty six of the actual number
OF marriages. 1t is not very pleasant
thought that when We look upon twenty.
six couples of young married people, we
know that some QUO Of those couples mast
be divorced. Yet such is the state Of fact.
The causes of divorce are impotency, will
fnl absence, adultery, neglect, drunkenness
aud incompntbility of temper, principles
or conditions arising from too youthful
marriages, or a willful following up Of ones
passions In defiance Of reason. The divorces
granted are enumerated in tho report rs
follows For adultery, 2S6 for absence,
236; for neglect, 229 for drunkenness,
90 for fraud, 20 total, S37. These fig
ures in one particular fails of giving the
trno result. OnIy dfty five cases arc put
down as caused directly ny drunkenness !
but that was tho true cause in doublo that
number, because the trial OF cases in court
shows that drunkenness has been main
cause OF cruelty and neglect. The locol-
tics of divorce show that the largest mum
ber are in tho large towns, as. Cleveland
aud Cincinnati. conformity in the
laws of the several States has created seri
ous trouble. In some States an Indiana
divorce is not recognized at oil as valid.
