Paying homage TO cur excellent
hotels in an inhamed foot is a very
good euphemism for the gout- We
are indebted for it 10 the Springfield
Republicans account of the Dickens
dinner. Now, if somebody can go
around and pay homage to some Of the
excellent hotel clerks in New \ ork,
with a foot that isn't inhamed, the
public will hear Of it with c6mplaeency.

The notorious lu"svDess Of the di

prcially some of the Western States

attracted considerable comment, but
rather in tome OF levity than other
wise. The pilgrimage of ill matched
couples and halves of couples, from all
quarters, tC that land of even Gissolu-
ton of hated ties has heen noted rath T
as a topic to he treated in the j'ker' S
column Than as a serious question OF

There are absolutely more divorces in
Connecticut on the average, by 1oS
(viz; 364 every year, than in Massa-
chusetts, State with two and half
times as many inhabitants. There were
in 1866 more than half as many as in
Ohio, State with aim ost five times the
populatiGn. 1t is stated in this con-
Dection that the divorces in several of
these States were unduly great in the
years 1864, and have been so since the
war The reason mdst be that many
hasty marriages were contracted by scl
soldiers, the motives being, on the wo
mans part, to get share of the boun-
ty, or the penson, if the husband
should be killed But to counterba-
an,;e Ills, the marriages, as always
happens in similar cases after war, have
increased quite preceptibly, so that the
ratio is not much affecled.

The Arab and His Bride.

every one We'd with his neighbor in re
Iating all sorts oc adventures, more or

forget. 1t was the story of an Arab
and his young bride.
Among the Arabs, when a man mar

dwelling, q ceremony which is per
formed in a palanquin. Dumberless
shots being at the same time fred or

Every marriage, however, is no'
like IF some are accompanied bv
numerous retinue-if sometimes the
happy couple number amongst their
guests many a rich and handsome
.horseman-at other times. as with us.
more than one bride groom has not
even enough to pay fddlers who escort
him Such being the case with Small
who had paid down the day before his
very last shilling for his bride mar
riage portion. he assembled only his
nearest relatives. and proceeded with
them on loot to the abode of his future
father in-law
Having Fagaled' themselves plenti
fully, and the marriage being conclud

way of sn lutte. taking care to keep a
few for the journey back. In the eve
ming they all parted, Wishing each 9TH

a soft low voice, about the happiness
which awaited them under his tent.
The friends Of the husband were follow
ing di.creetly some PAGES behind. firing
at times a shot in the air; and the
young wife seemed qnits era,iied at
this little offering of powder burnt in
her honor. Everything, in short, went
on in the most satisfactory manner
But. ar of sudden. an enormou:
