The divorce case on trial in shs conrt OF
Common Pleas is OF quite another stamp from
those with which the public is favored when
the matrimonial quarreis Of Chicago. Boston or
Brooklyn force themselves into cour. Boston

marriage vow, land such an amount OF social
impurity, as STABLES the thought Of the least
attentive thinker ON the philosophy Of mar
riage.
But the case before Us is New York case.
the claim is based on "alleged cruel treat
ment"-men treat their wives so barbarouslv
here. There were ''indignities, insults and in
juries." There were-worse yet-stepdaagh-
ters. They Asnatched the milk and sugar
away" from the stepmother at table. They
disputed for seats. When the wife, in the happy
calm of the private apartments, called the hus-
bands attention to the horrible state of affairs
quietly, Of course-like dear Mrs. Candle, per-
baps-he jumped out Of bed and used language
that would clearly have disgraced our army IN
Flanders. To cap the climax some one "mads
mouths" Thus through the whole category
Of the little miseries and meannesses Of human
life the testimony in court drags its way, and
thus under the influence Of bad temper and
worse advice an incongenial taraily circle pa
rades its quarrels.
And on such facts "a these is based q suit OF
divorce for scruel and inbunan treatment"
Fatal facility Of cosrts and lawyers. But evf.

now We learn within 8 few weeks all about the
movements Of commerce there, the political
events, and even the incidents Of everyday
Life. What wonderful revoiutioni Similar
progress is taking place with and in China,
that other more populous and mighty Mon
golian empire Of Asia We might almost
believe that the millennium, of which the
religious world has Long dreamed, is at hand.
Still, "a we said before, these remarkable
developments are but the beginning of the
new age. The earth will be girdled ere long
in every direction with the magnetic tele-
graph. That laid under the Atlantic is the
precursor OF others, not only beneath the
waters Of that ocean, but under the Pacific, the
Caribbean, and other oceans and seas also.
The laying Of the Atlantic cable and Its sue
cessfnl operation have demonstrated the prac
ticability of connecting all the continents and
islands of the world in the same way. Several
projects are already proposed to lay other
cables between the shores Of Western Europe
and America, and we have m doubt they viii
be carried ont thnt cfc -peaiug and -narging
communication BE- veen The two continents A
cable il shortly TO be laid between Cuba and
Florida. II will not be long before Mexico
and all the States of Central and South Amer
lea will be in hourly communication with New
York. Then we shall have Pacific cable to
with the hundreds of millions Of Chinese,
Japanese, Hindoos and other races in Asia
That is what we are coming to; that is what
will surely be accomplished within a few years
Here, then, is New York, the very centre of
all this surprising progress. With one hand we
grasp Europe, and with the other Asia The
Atlantic and Pacific railroads, stretching aoross
this continent, will be completed in few
years. BY these the travel and valuable por-
ton Of the trade between Europe and Asia, as
we'll as our own, will be carried. We shall
receive and transmit news from one side to the
other, and this great metropolis will become Of
necessity the absorbing and radiaing focus of
commerce and ideas for all the world. London
viii cease to be the financial centre. New York
is destined to have the money power which the
British capital has held 40 long. The whole
system Of trade and commercial exchanges
will be revolutfonized, merchants buying and
selling in different countries will be brought in
direct communication by the magnetic tele-
graph, intermediate agents will be dispensed
with, and this country and city, from geo.
graphical position and enterprise, must neces-
sarily become the centre of trade, commerce,
financial operations, news and ideas Such is
the grand future which the citizens Of New
York and the American people may ooDten-
plate.

Yankee shrewdness has proved too much foe

There are great many crazy pecple Al
large, and there are great many people who
are not crazy, that somehow or other get shut
up in lunatic asylums II is noteworthy that
but few of this latter class ever manage to
escape, while raging madmen often elude the
supposed vigilance of their keepers. The
reason ofths is plain enough. For the safe cu-A
tody Of the one the keepers of lunatic asylums
are paid highly by interested relatives, while
for the retention Of the other they receive
merely the ordinary allowance. The murder
which was committed at Poughkeepsie tho
other day is no isolated proof OF the justice OF
these remarks. All over the country we hear
Of similar things happening without comment
1t being only the peculiar circumstances Of
this case which have drawn attention to it.
There are few Of our public institutions
which more urgently call for reform, and which
receive less Of the consideration Of our legis-
lators than the asylums for the care of ths
insane. The Encouragement and corruption
that prevail in them are notorious. It requires
but the liberal employment Of money to get
persons Of weak mind, but otherwise harmless,
shut up in them. Where persons Of this class
are In possession Of or entitled to property the
in ducement to thus dispose of them is Of courss
very great In nine cases out Of ten the
grounds On which they aR Consigned -

the courts but as, unfortunately, those who
are their natural protectors are the parties VIE

are not heard Of again until they ere liberated
from their su6erings by. death. This Is . terrt-
BILE power to exercise, and oughtnot to be tele-
rated for moment When We have SUPER
added to it the fact that the more dangerous .
mailman IL the more liberty he b allowed BY
his keepers, we think 1t time that there should
be an overhauling of the entire system. Cor.
tainly, a. they are ct present conducted, thers

civilization and love Of progress than the ooa-
dition Of these institutions.

This happened stthe drst Worlds Fair in Paris,
when the grand gold medal Of honor was
bestowed on an American reaping machine.
American superiority in agricultural machines
and implements, as we'll as in firearms and other
implements Of war, has already secured Euro
pean recognition. The last letter Of our Paris
correspondent mentions two incidents which
show that the American department Of the Elk
hibition has attracted the special attention Of
the Emperor Napoleon and Of the Prince Of
Wales. The Prince, whose first appearance as
. public patron Of the ane arts was recently
noticed in the HERALD, expressed his pleasure
ct seeing certain pictures by American artists
with whose names and works he had become
familiar during his visit to the United States.
The Emperor Enthusiastically reserved his
admiration for two revolving cannon, which, BY
turning . crank, poured sand and shot into o
hopper, it is said, at the rate of twenty in eight
seconds. These cannon mysteriolsly disap-
peared from their place In the American de-
partment, and II was sscertained that they had
been taken to Vincennes and tried in the pre-
sence Of the Emperor. who had twice visited
and examined them at the Exhibition.
The Official catalogue of the American de-
partment has just been published. and it con-
tains one thousand articles. represented by ain
hundred exhibitors. OF Shelatter Rhode Island,
Georgia, Mississippi, Toxes, Arkansas, Colo
RADIO, Nebraska and Oregon have each one !;
Kentucky, Alabama, West Virgins and Florida,
each two New Hampshire, Mianesota and
Nevada, each three Virginia, four Kansas,
five; Vermont, six /; Indiana seven !; Maine,
eight; Iowa, nine Wisconsin and Mary
land, each ten; Michigan, eleven I; the Dis
trict Of Columbia, fourteen New Jersey and
Ohio, each nineteen Missouri, twenty; Con-
necticut, twenty-five; Illinois, twenty -eight |;
California, thirty-thrce Louisiana. thirty -five;
Pennsylvania, ffty-nine Massachusetts,, one
hundred and twenty-on and New York two
hundred and ninety-four. There are only one
thousand articles on exhibition but they may
yet gain proportionately the largest number Of
high prizes. In the practical applications Of
science to the arts OF peace and Of war IL is
difficult to surpsss the inventive genius Of
Americans.
The foregoing lines were hardly In type
when the news was received by the Atlantic
cable that TO an American mower had been
awarded the first prize-ths grand gold
medal-at the Paris Exhibition. This new
triumph OF American skill and ingenuity
verifies our prediction.

The Fire Commissioners have determined TO
make two decided improvements in the manage
ment Of the department The bells are no
longer TO be sounded as an alarm for fires, and
the losCcrs who congrcgate about the engine
houses are to he dispersed. The bell alarms
are Of no other service than to gather rowdics
and thieves to the locality Of fire, and the fire
telegraph Is now in such perfection Of working
As to render all other notification TO the depart
ment needless. The system Of loating about
the engine houses is getting a. bad as under
the old volunteer department, and Il should be
stopped. Those who have no other employ
ment than 10 hang about such places should 60

Ra9ereA Redsctiea 81 tho Fresct Army
Does is Mean Peacee

Does is Mean Peacse
In our issue Of yesterday we duly chronicled
the information received per the Atlantic
cable, that the French government had already
taken steps greatly to reduce the standing
army. We have no reason to doubt the cor
rectness Of the information. If asked, how
ever, whether such . movement warrants
belief In . lasting European peace, We should
feel compelled to reply with greater amount
Of caution.
Few who have made themselves acquainted
with the turnings and windings Of European
diplomacy, or who At oil understand the feel
ings Of the different populations--fsw such
persons will deny that it was the Exposition,
the Exposition chiefly, the Exposition alone,
and not the sagacity Of Lord Stanley. the
genius Of Disraeli, nor the gracious ipserveution
Of Queen Victoria which sawed Europe. on the
occasion Of the late Luxenburg dinic~lty, from
the horrors Of war. Peace az almost any
price was necessary while the Exposition
lasted. Peace was secured, and although the
terms were not in every respect Just such Is
Napoleon and the French people could have
wished, they were on the whole As reasonable
as in the circumstances. was 70 be expected.
The Exposition, however, will be got over,
and the suppressed feelings Of the French
people will burst forth with greater violence
than ever The claims to the Rhine boundaries
may be revived. II they are revived Germany
will resist them with greater determination
than before. France, on the other hand, will
respond with unanimity and enthusiasm to the
Emperors call. If difficulty on this or any
kindred question should arise between France
and Pr,lssia--and that such difficulty will arise
before next spring Is more than probable---no
Exposition will prevent the combsisnls from
entering at once into fierce aud terrible con-
Hict. Napoleon, though past the prime Of
life, is vigorous enough for another cam
paign; and we may depend upon t. II
occasion shall offer he will not shirk the
RESPONSIBILITIES az war. So long ~ France
is to be ruled by Napoleon that rule must
be sanctioned by success. The sad sermina-
ton Of the Mexican business, and the snub-
Ding administered by Bismarck, render Il neccs-
sary that something be done to recover pres
tige In spite OF these rumers about reduc-
ton. we have reason TO believe tina ihe French
