DIVORCE FIGURES.
In Vermont, out of every twenty-one
couples who are married, one is destined to
be divorced; in Massachusetts,, one couple
are divorced out of every forty-four: in
Ohio, one out of every twenty seven; in
Connecticut. one out of every eleven !;
while in Chicago the number of those di-
vorced far exceeds the number of those
married, for the reason that discontented
people from every part of the world take
up their residence in that city in order to
be relieved of conjugal bonds which have
become irksOme. Wisconsin, however, must
soon become a great place of resort for
those who desire To be divorced. since il ap-
pears that in that State a mere incompati-
bility of temper is sufficient reason for an
nulling all obligations of marriage.
