The Radicals profess to be in favor
of Republican institutions and Re-
publican governments. Is the bayo-
nent Republican institution? And
is that government Republican in
form where the writ OF habeds corpus
is suspended, the people disfranchised
and denied the privilege of making
their own laws, and the whole coun-
try at the mercy of one man? To
call such a state of affairs republican
government is solemn mockery. And
yet that is just what Radicalism has
done and is doing. How long will
freemen endure these things?

THE AGE OE MAN.

But few men die ofBage. 5v- Almost
all die of disappointment, passiopal,
mental, or bodily toll or accident
The passions kill men sometimes even
suddenly. The common expression,
choked with passion, has little eXag-
geration in it; for even though not
suddenly fatal, strong passions short
en- life. Strong bodied men often die
young weak incentive longer than the
strong, for the strong use strength and
the weak have none to use. The lat
ter take of themselves-the former do
not. AS it is with the body, so it is
with the mind and temper. The
strong are apt to break, or like the
candle, to run the weak burn it. The
inferior animals which live generally,
temperate lives, have usually their
prescribed term of years.-The horse
lives twenty-five years the OK fifteen
or twenty; the lion about twenty ;the
hog ten or twelve; the rabbit eight;
the gHinea-pigy six or seven. These
numbers all bear proportion to the
time the animal takes to grow to- its
full size. Bat man, of all the animals,
is the one that seldom comes uplto his
average. He ought to live o. hundred
years, according to physiolocelo law,
for five times twenty, are one hundred
but instead of that he scarcel v reaches,
on an average, four times his growing
period the cat six times, and the rab-
bit even eight times the standard of
the measurement. The reason is OBJ
vious-man is not only the most ir-
regular and the most laborious and
hardworked, OF all animals. He is
also the most irritable of all the ami
mails and there is reason to believe
though we cannot tell what an animal
secretly feels that, more than any
other animal man cherishes wrath to
keep it warm, and consumes. himself
with the fire OF his own reflections. !

A REMARKABLE DIVORCE CASE.


The st. Louis Democrat Of Tuesday says !:
In Judge Lindley's court yesterday,
decree was granted to BrittOn A. Hill, Esq,
divorcing him from his,wife Mary Melinda
The parties were married about thirty
wears ago, and lived together until 1919,
when, on a joint petition, they were Gi-
vorcei by an act Of the Missouri Legisla-
ture The wife was allowed all the
property-nOw worth nearly Il million dol
fars-and the custody Of the surviving
child In 1854 the lady was married to ID.
Robert Barclay, with whom she has ever
since lived happily. In 1857 Mr.. Hill mar
ried again, but his last dniOn was not more
fortunate that the first .,
Several years ago the second Mrs Hlli
went to Europe, and remained SO long that
her husban nd went after her. When she re-
turned to this country he applied for Il di
vOrce, pending which the lady went back TO
Europe. and shortly afterward was reported
to have been drowned while bathing in the
Ray of Nice. Mr. Hill employed fishermen
to drag the bay for the body, but it leaked
ont that the lady was not drowned, but had
zone away with IL friend. Atterwar,l she
became acquainted with King Victor Eman-
uel, and was employed as the grand lady Of
his household at Rome. Several months
ago so it is stated. she died OF fever, and
the suit for divorce was dismissed.
The divorce of Mr.. Hill from his first wife
was decided by the Supreme Court to be
illegal. The matter came before the court
last year on Il bill filed in court by the
lady's trustees, to compel Mr.. Samuel Sim
mons to purchase certain lot of ground
on Fourth street, opposite the courthouse.
in accordance with agreement-Mr. Sim
mons having refused, on the ground that
the Legislative divorce having been illegal.
the trustees could not convey a clear title.
To obviate this difficulty. Mr.. Hill brought
the suit before Judge Lindley.
On the decree being granted. MIR. Hill
moved that the legal disability against the
lady marrying again in less than five years
be removed, which was granted. Under a
law of the State the children 10y both mar
riages are made legitimate.
Thus ends a case which for romantic de
tails and strange circumstances has no par
allel III the annals Of the divorce courts.
1t is hoped that all difficulties. legal and
social, are now removed. and that there will
be no further trouble between any Of the
parties.
