THE LAST SCENE IN A DIVORCE SUIT.
Whit 1. the Matter with tic Women

What Is the Matter with the Women
From the st. Joseph NIo.) Herald, August 1871
A woman, with baby six months old in her
arms, alghts from an omnibus in the dusk of
rainy evening, when up steps gentleman, with Il
quiet, but firm manner, and says, "Let me take
him into the car" The mother with calm in
difference, resigns the child to the gentleman,
who takes il into the car Of the train which is
ready to start. It needs further information
than is afforded by the fond caresses lavished
upon the child to know thai it is IN the arms of
Its father and the wee sweet little thing is de-
lighted, too, while the mother sits aloof and gazes
coldy out Of the window. Soon the bell of the
locomotive rings, the conductors voice IL heard
warning the passengers to get on board and the
man, kissing the baby wild kiss, places it in the
lap of its mother, whispers low 'Goodby" to
the woman and leaves the car. As the train
moves Off the prattlng face of the infant is seen
at the window by the father, and its little hand is
extended towards him. He touches it for brief
moment, when the remorseless movement Of the
train, doing the behest of hateful circumstance,
tears it away forever. The man retires from the
notice of the crowd, his head is bowed upon his
bosom and his great frame is shaken with the
weight of q greater grief. He weeps.
This scene we witnessed at the depot last even
ing. il was the finale to divorce suit that was
recently decided IN onr Circuit Court. What is
the matter with the women!

New YORK, August IL, 1871

New YORK, August IL, 1870
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD -
In view of the enormous amount of mail matter
received and sent in this city, and the large revenue
derived from the same by the Post Office Depart
ment, please suggest that an immediate change
be made in the matter OF receiving mail matter
throughout the city, by substituting for the Iron
boxes in the streets, as at present, sub Offices, at
as many convenient points, with an attendant
where mail matter can be properly preserved,
information relative to mails obtained, postage
stamps purchased, and some responsibility estab-
lished as 10 the proper receipt and despatch OF
mail matter. As it is now very few per,.ns who
wish to send letter on urgent business nom one
part of the city to another think of trusting to the
street boxes, as the letter may remain there for
On indefinite length OF time before reaching the
Post Office, perhaps within half mile distant,
and be subjected to another delay there. Up
town and Brooklyn res dents know, by bitter ex-
perience, of the mails delays, and losses and dsap-
pointments entalled thereby. At present there Is
no provision made for receiving newspapers
or other enclosures than letter envelopes,
and thereby much valuable matter Is lost
without chance of recovery. notable instance
Of this can daily be seea at the box opposite the
HERALD office, where often nearly bushel of mail
matter Is piled on top of the box or at Its foot,
and no pretence IL made Of carrying this to the
Post Office; and during the late heavy showers
large NUMBERS OF papers nud pampnlelS were
destroyed and 6Oated off into the sewers. Very
careful, precise people may say "Seryes them
right;' but this is poor plea for the Post Office
Department, as all these packages were stamped
and ready for mailing, and money for the service
already paid over TO the United States. If the
government prevent others from carrying the
mails their servants should be douby careful that
they perform the service thoroughly. Any OF the
large express companies would be ashamed OF
such practices with packages entrusted to them.
The proposed sub-offices should be kept open
