BEATRICE.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-General Dent
had intimated to General Lee that Pres
ident Grant desired a visit from HIM.
Whereupon General Lee, accompanied
BY Mr.. and Mrs Taggart, of Baltimore,
visited him this morning. In this con-
nection, a correspondent of the New
York Herald says:
A gentleman who processes to know
the facts connected with the projected
visit, states that General Lee who is NV
in Baltimore, where he has been staying
for a week past. will come to this city
tomorrow or next day, aud will be the
guest of Montgomery Blair. 1t is stated
that the General will visit the Executive
mansion during his stay here. and will
have one or more interviews with the
President, who has requested General
Lee to call upon him. 1t is intimated
that the object Of the interview sought
for by the President is to obtain from
from General Lee his opinion of the work
ing of the reconstruction laws in the
State of Virginia, and of the present
temper of the leading citizens of the
South. What other matters arc to be
touched upon by two principal military
cheiftains is not definitely known, but
from all that has leaked out concerning
the proposed conference, it IS fair to infer
that it will be of more than ordinary
significance.
General Lee is stopping in George
town, and keeps a@oof from public
observation. His visit to the White
House, this morning, was the occasion of
much interest. No other interviews
were had with the President, by any ont,
after General Lee retired. 80

MARRIED LIFE IN INDlAsA-THE WRONGS
OF THE Divorce Law.

OF THE Divorce Law.
On last Tuesday, Mrs. Albert French.
Of Lasrange, left the room Of her sick
husband to 60 on an errand to. the house
Of neighbor, across the street. While
there. some one asked her If she had
heard of rumor that she was divorced
from her husband. She replied no, and.
in laughing way, was making some re-
mark about the absurd stories people
tell, when person entering handed her
a note from an attorney, informing her
that the rumor was true. Her husband
had made an application in the Circuit
Conrt of E!Khart County, where the
parties had never lived at all :; the Sher-
if had served the process so informally,
that she never received it; the applica-
tion had been granted on the 10Th Of
March her husband had brought the
decree home with bin, and lived with
her more than a week before she found
it cut, during which time she had -heen
attentively nursing him through fit of
sickness. = - - D.. 80
Mrs. French was almost killed by the
totally unexpected intelligence She
had been married to her husband fwen-
ty.one years they had two children
nearly grown, and so far as it Is known,
the family has always lived in peace and
unity. The husband is worth $4,000,
hut the wife did not receive one cent of
alimony, although portion of the prop
erty was inherited ty her. It's one Of
the most infamous cases We have ever
heard of, and as the decree was granted
in a country where the parties never re.
sided. considerable amount Of perjury
must have been committed. The matter
should have a legal investigation, for it
certainly caps the climax on any thing
we have ever known in the way of In
diana divorces.-Indiana Sentinel of
