cENrALIz1sG DIVORCE.

A Movement for National Divorce Law.
New York Ref,dld-s Washington Special.
A rather remarkable movement has
been Eut on foot here by Mrs. Admi-
raj Dalgreen, Mrs. Gen. Sherman,a and
the other ladies who are taking an
active part in opposing woman's suf-
frage, the scheme being nothing less
than to completely outfiank the suf-
fragists of the Tilton- w oodhull school.
These ladies do not believe the Con-
stitution, as it now stands, gives to
woman the right to vote, and they are
determined TO deprive the others of
their SO called sixteenth amendment
by occupying the ground themselves,
with an amendment providing for a
uniform system of divorce. Their
principal argument in favor of this
new measure is, that if the courts in
other States are obliged to recognize
Indiana divorces as valid, though they
are generally obtained by fraud, the
tribunals of that State virtually absorb
the divorce business of the country,
and imperil the property and marital
rights of every woman from Maine to
California. This, they think, makes
the question one of such national i'm
POl tduCC do ~ tllC OiiCC
of Congress, under constitutional safe
guards !; and they desire the constitu-
tional provision they are seeking to be
called the "Sixteenth Amendment"
They are going to work like real high
born ladies to encompass their ends,
and design having their measure first
introduced into the Senate rather than
the House, since the former is body
Of rn1rah moro docopnr1 ond Ainnifx,
than the latter. What is more. Mr..
TrUmbull is to be asked to take charge
of the amendment, both as Chairman
of the Judiciary Committee, and as
the purest and best of the Senators of
the United States. 1t is believed that
this measure will secure for American
women all the rights they care to ex-t
ercise in public affairs, and save them
from the wrongs of such pernicious
legislation as is the disgrace of Indi-
ana. The flank movement ON the suf-
fragists by appropriating their favor
ite amendment is regarded as a good
stroke, and one that will put at rest
the agitation of question which a
few ambitious women, by driving its
best friends into obscurity, have made
disreputable. 1t is not intended. to
make the amendment too radical, ana
it is only feared that it NAV be defeat
ed by the promoters of the so-called
reform overlooking it and killing it.
A lively scrfmmage among the female
politicians is expected, and the move
ment cannot fail to add new features
to that remarkable lobby in which wo-
men play such varied and important
parts.

o wherefore thus sorrow DER friendships untrue
Looking on TO the future with troubles in view
When the vile breath of calumny m1ldews thy
name
And throws foul blot on thy fortune and fame?
Why garner the loss from the harvest of ears.
And pass all unheeded the wheat, for the tares I
Why sigh o'er thy household of blessings bereft,
Forgetfnl to cherish the treasure that's left2
o man ! of all creatures most thankless thou art.
Most prone to ingratitude, hardness of heart;
Thy days SO devoted to pleasure and telf-
Will weigh in the balance all against self.
This earth hath sufficient of sunshine and
showers.
To cheer and to nourish its gloomiest hours,
And the dear ones ye miss from the circles of
love-
Are chanting their praises in regions above.
Then cease thy repining and practice content,
Thy days are all numbered-thy blessings are
lent;
They last but a season, sufficient at most,
And who for the future his treasures can boast?
Nay cease to enlarge thy store houses below, n
To count up thy losses-thy moments of woe; (;
But lay We up treasures beyond this poor dust
Where gold is immors al and never viii rust,

In the greater part of that wild re-
gion its teeming population is engag-
ed in an actual struggle for existence
with the wild beasts of the forest and
the poisonous reptiles OF the plain,
and it is not too much to say that, as a
general thing, the caTnsvorG have the
best of the battle. In newspaper of
recent date it appears the return of
persons killed by wild beasts in the
Madras Presidency alone, during the
year 1870, is two hundred and twenty
three, including 183 killed by tigers,
2l by panthers, by bears, 10 by bison,
by wild hogs, 4 by elephants. 8 by
alligators-these are all cases known
and recorded, to say nothing of the
numberless cases where the suffering
die and make no sign. The deaths by
snake bites in the district of Dude
alone are returned as over two thou
sand annually. Here, then, is the le-
gitimate province of the hunter, where
his taste may be gratifed, and the
cause of suffering humanity served at
the same time.

EVERYBODY KNOWS Us.

Some say that it Is of no use for
them to advertise, that they have been
in one place of business all their lives
and everybody knows them. Such
people seem to forget to take into con-
sideration that our country is increas-
ing in population nearly four per cent.
every ten years, and no matter how
old the place may be, there are con-
slant changes taking place; some
move to other parts, and strangers fill
their places. In this age of the world
unless the name of business firm is
constantly before the public, some
new firm may start up, and by liberal
advertising, in very short time take
the place of the Older ones, and the

GRuMBLING AT NEWSPAPERS.

Horace Greeley hits the nail on the
head.
alt is strange how closely men read
the papers. We never say anything
that anybody don't like, but we soon
hear of it, and everybody tells us about
it. If, however, once in while we
happen to say good thing, we never
hear of that-nobody seems to notice
that. We may pay some man a hum
dred compliments and give him doz-
en- puffs, and he takes it as tribute
to his greatness and never thinks of it
never thinks it does him any good.
But if we happen to say anything this
very man don't like, or something
that he imagines is a reflection on him
or his character, see how quick he
flares up and gets mad about it. All
our evils are duly charged to us, but
we never, apparently, get any credit
for what good we do"

THE Philadelphia North american,
the protection organ says: Above
all, the Republican party must rally
firmly around the administration. p
"Those who are not heartily with us
on the score must seek affiliations else
where, as they only forter dissensions
in our ranks" That's hit direct at
Carl Schurz, Gov. Brown and thou
sands of other leading Republicans
who do not place implicit confidence
in the immaculate wisdom and purity
of Emperor Ulysses. 1t is quite like
ly that in the coming Presidential
contest tho Radicals will be unable to
play the double game on tho tariff
question which they practiced in the
recent campaign in this State.

AN ANECDoTE OF EVERETT his speech
at the Amherst semi-centeunial commencement
Professor Park said: Il have recalled this
afternoon scene which occurred thirty six
years ago, on the day preceding the commence
ment. Edward Everett then delivered the
Grafton. In the midst of the Grafton he uttered
one sentence which called forth burst cf ap-
plause.
81 will read that sentence Before the ad-
miring student of nature has realized all the
wonders of the world, let him sit down and
know the universe in which he lives, by ex-
amning the races of animals disporing them
selves in their representative ocean-a drop
of water
"After that sentence, it appeared as if all
Amherst College would not cease to clap their
hands and stamp their feet, and yet you seem
to be unmoved by the recital Now the ques-
tien comes, what is the reason. The reason is
found in the studied artlessness of Edward Ev-
erett.
While he was on the point of speaking the
words, drop of water, he turned careessly
and saw glass of water on the table. He put
his finger in the glass; and drop of water
was suspended theretrom. | have it on the
best authority that six or seven weeks before
that Grafton was delivered, Everett wrote let
ter to friend in Boston asking him whether
so bold gesture would be proper"

WoMAN's RIGHTs IN RUsSIA-The En-
peror of Russia has issued an order whereby
the existing institutions for instructing women
in midwifery are to be enlarged in every posi-
BILE direction, and other avenues for the
employment of woman's energy are to be
opened. In consideration of the great utility
of the Sisters of Mercy in hospitals, women are
to be allowed to act as surgeons, to vaccinate,
and to be employed as chemists Every facili-
ty and assistance is ordered to be extended to
them in all educational establishments, and
they are to be admitted as " signal women in
the telegraph department. The Emperor and
the ministerial council also recommend the en-
ployment of women as accountants. This is a
practical and valuable kind of woman's rights
Every movement which tends to extend and
diversity such vocations as are suited to women
must have a benefcient influence, which is
more than can be said of bestowing upon them
political power

CHIcAso NoTEs.-It is indeed an i'll wind
that blows nobody good. 1t is said that there
is not single Indictment left against any ac-
cused person in Cook county, Illinois, which is
certainly piece of good fortune for some
rogues. But, on the other hand, the lawyers
have suffered severely. Hardly law library or
law office is left; not paper to show that
there is suit pending in any of the six courts
of the county: not judgment, not a petition
in bankruptcy in the federal courts. Aud
worse yet so far as is known, all records of
deeds and mortgages are destroyed

During the fall of 1868 soldier of the Sd
Alabama regiment strayed into Richmond, on
leave Of absence, and about night-fal he
became tipsy from frequent draughts of liquid
fire. Roaming over the city, he at length
entered an African church, and found a negro
preacher holding forth on the parable of the
sheep and the goats. He took seat near the
pulpit, and gave the preacher fixed attention.
:" Now. my brederin," said the OIL lator, "when
dat great, final day come round, de sheep, dey
go upon de right hand to glory, and de goats,
dey go upon de lef hand to everlastin' torment
And now, my brederen, in dat great, fual
day, who is gwine to be a goat?" Pausing a
moment, he exclaimed, g [ say, my brederin,
who is to be goat?' Another pause, and he
exclaimed, at the top of his voice, My bred
erin, who'll beAa goat?'
The anxious and excited Confederate could
stand the scene no longer, but, rising from his
seat, he suffered out, look here, old fellow,
sooner'n see this thing play out, FH be the
