DEXTER BEATS HIS BEST SADDLE TINE. -
Friday afternoon, after the heat of the
day was past, Mr., Bonner drove the ia
NOUS Dexter in road wagon over TO
the Fashion Course to give him fast
brush ON the track He found the
course like ploughed field, in conse-
qnence Of its being deeply narrowed for
the running meeting held here this
week, so that fast driving was out Of
the question. John Murphy, the ia
nous trotting Jockey, who rode Dexter
in his memorable match against time
over this course when he went in 2.1S
Is, observing that Dexter was moving
freely and fast, asked Mr.. Boncer's
permission to breeze him around under
the saddle, which was given. Procur-
ing an old and heavy saddle, Murphy
mounted his old fayorite and sent bun
around the track. He found the little
horse extending himself in his long,
vigorous stride so fast anG freely, that
he requested Mr.. Bonner and the look
ers on TO time him a mile from stand to
stand. The track had been deeply har-
rowed five feet from the fence, SO that
be had to go out wide on the track to
get tolcrable going A fair send off,

DlyoRcE-P President Woolsey Of Yale
College, in recent learned and inter
esting article on divorce, finds that IN
twenty OF our States the constitution
prohibits 10 the Legislature private
bills OF divorce. And yet in several
States, notably in Maine, North Caro-
Ina, Indiana, Rhode Island and Con
necticut, the courts have power to
grant divorces for what shall seem to
them sufiiient reasons, In New York
adultery is not punished as a crime, =
In most Of the States there is penal
ty, ranging from a fine Of ton dollars in
Maryland to five years imprisonment
in Connecticut. In only few States
have tables been prepared from which
can be learned the ratio OF divorces to
marriages annually. This ratio has nv
craged for several years, since 1850, in
Vermont. one divorce to twenty marri-
ages; in Massachusetts, ono to forty
four; in Ohio, one to twenty six; in
Connecticut, one to ten; in Prussia,
tho country OF VIGOROUSLY loose di-
vorce laws, the ratio Of diyorces to non
Catholic marriages is one to twenty
nine, Thus says DIR. Woolsey, Con
nectcut is at the bottom Of the LIST al
together"
DIR. Woolsoy, discussing marriage
from q religious standpoint. considers
it as the starting point Of the family
and the State, us divine institution,
established both in our nature and by
positive precept. Hence divorce, OK
cept for the strictest New Testament
reasons, is considered itself crime
So far from adultery resulting from the
lndissolubiity Of marriage, as some
writers have charged DIR. Woolsey
shows tlnt in Europe it has kept pace
with the facilities Of divorce. The
whole subject is one Of paramount i'm
portance, and we are glad to to see men
of DR. Woolsey's high character giving
il their consideration
