A Woman Obtains Divorce from an
Unmarried Man.

The case of Martin Us. Martin, en-
tered upon the docket of the supreme
Court few days ago, Is one ot the most
remarkable specimens OF legal cccen'
tricity that we have heard OF Tor many
a day. The appellant makes affidavit
and motion for writ of error, stating
that in December, lS1 while he was at
the East, the plaintiff brought action
against him in the Fifth District Court
Tor divorce, and obtained an allowance
of $500 for counsel fees and $50 per
month pcndemtc lite. Upon the return
of the defendant he moved for rever-
sal of the judgment and order. The
lower Court refused to grant the mo-
ton. stating that its judgment was hnal.
The affidavit filed i'll the Supreme Court
narrates the above facts, but alleges
further that the defendant never saw or
knew the woman suelng for divorce
from him until his return from the
East, and that consequently he never
could have married her, and that she
was the widow of another party recent
ly deceased III Missouri, and that, as his
relict, she had received portion OF his
estate. There is something very queer
about this case, ana if the allegations OF
the defendant are true, 1t certainly
presents a novel method OF obtaining a
livelihood for impecunious women. 1t
is giving considerable latitude to the
doctrine OF woman rights.

The "Club Room" of the August
Galaay has this hit: The late George
Robins was famous for his genius in the
direction of putting his auction wares.
On one occasion he had made the beau
ties of an estate so enchanting that he
found it necessary to blur it by fault
or two, lest it should prove too bright
and good for human natures daily food
" But there are two drawbacks to this
property, sighed out this apostle of the
mart, /" the litter of rose leaves and the
noise Of the nightingale" Yet he
must yield the palm to Mr.. Christie,
who described one portion of n paradise
he was about to offer for sale as adorned,
among other charms, with a " hanging
wood,' which the disguised purchaser
found out meant an old gallows.

A Curious Mania.

A curious disease has recently infect
ed number OF. British noblemen, for
which it is difficult to account. For
some time past u well known lord has
been in the habit of preaching on Sun
days to crowded audiences of the mid
die and lower classes, in town halls and
other secular buildings in various parts
of the country. 1t is said that his ex-
ample is now initiated by no less than
seven or eight other peers of the realm.
A few weeks ago the Earl of Dalhou
preached to an audience OF 5000 peo-
pie, in the Agricultural Hall in London,
and it is actually announced that the
Marquis OF Lorne, the Queens son-in-
law, is soon to occupy the same pulpit
Perhaps we shall yet see the Prince of
Wales in the pulpit!

He remained there from SIX in the

The Hannibal (Mo.) Courier, of July
26, says; "A couple of printers left
Chicago few days since for trip to
New Orleans, and not being possessed
of quite a mine of wealth they crossed
the country to Rock Island, Ill.,, and
thence bought a skiff with the lucre
they had, and resolved to take passage
for New Orleans, stopping to work at
intermediate points, as necessity and
the cravings of hunger dictated. They
touched at Muscatine, Burlington,
Keokuk, Quincy, and yesterday landed
at our whsrf, and applied at our Office
for work. There being no work for
them here, they replenished their COM
mlssary stores, and again set sail up
on the broad bosom of the Mississippi,
for their final haven. They were a
couple Of jolly boys, and we doubt not
will persevere in their determination to
reach the sunny South in course of time,
and whether they do or not it will mat
ter little to them, as they are at home
wherever night overtakes them"

A German Poets Idea of American
Geography.

a German poet has lately written a
touching poem, in which the hero is
represented as devoured by an alligator
under palmtree on the shore Of Lake
Erie in America. The heroine hears Of
the terrible fate of her lover, down in
the everglades of Florida, near the
banks of Lake Superior, where she is
living, and rushcs down South to Lake
Erie and lays in wait for that crocodile,
captures him, cuts him open, extracts
the bones of her dead lover, purchases
a rich coffin, and has him inferred in
magnificent style in Greenwood Gene
terry, in New York, in the State of st.
Louis. The poem is truly affecting.

THE body of James Gordon Bennett,
recently deceased, was embalmed in
New York, in very satisfactory way,
by an Italian doctor. Few of the at
tempts at embalm,ng in this country
have been really successful, though the
practice has of late years been carried
out in great number of cases. In
nearly all cases, the evidences of decay
have appeared after a brief period, and
thus the embalming has been shown to
be a failure. 1t is rather curious that
the appliances of modern chemistry are
so inefficient in this particular work.
Thousands of dollars have been spent
on some bodies, with unfavorable result
1t is said that the embalming of the re-
Gently deceased Italian patriot, Mazzini,
was uncommonly successful, but we will
know more OF this in ten or twenty
wears than can now be known. Some
of the Egyptian mummies, buried three
thousand years ago, are perfect to this
day, and there is in the Egyptian Mu-
scum of New York two embalmed sa-
cred bulls in remarkable state Of pres
ervation. 1t is probably as well, on the
whole, that we have never been able to
find out the secret of the Egyptians.
We shouldn't like to have some mil
lions or billions of mummies in the
country.

The Labor Question Mastered.

One of the leading railroads that en-
ter this city, the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific, has mastered the labor
question, AS far us the strife about the
number of working hours in the day is
concerned. The company pays by the
hour in the shops, by the mile to those
who operate the rolling stock. The
engineer who runs an extra train re-
celves an extra compensation for it. In
hurrying times i'll the shops, those who
wish to work over the ordinary time
can do so, and receive proportiopate
wages. In dull times the company does
not discharge its efficient workmen, but
allows all to labora sufficient number of
hours to support their families. In busy
times it encourages them to work extra
hours instead OF putting on more hands.
In this way competent men find II sort
of security, and those who are ambitious
to make as much as they can, have the
nity.-Prorie Farmer Chicago.

Miss KATE FIELD, writing for the

of American experience abroad, as fol
lows: "Speak English upon entering
a shop on the continent and prices are
increased one third. Let it be known
that you are American and they are
doubled. Not long since | priced a
trinket, and, speaking French, was
supposed by the illiterate shopkeeper
to be European. Returning the next
day with the determination Of purchas-
ing the bauble on account of its cheap
ness, found q Frenchman examining
it, evidently with intent to buy. Oh.
serving that was about to Withdraw,
the Frenchman raised his hat, and
making profound bow, declared that
he did not intend to purchase, adding:
'Madame est americana. Cest Lc pays
deS richeSSes ct DIES jOl.es Iemmes;' after
which genteel impertlnence he retired,
and the shopkeeper, forgetting that he
had seen before, doubled the price
of the desired article"

A Curious Fact.

If two sets of letters, precisely SINH
lar in size, are painted on two boards,
the one white on black ground and
the other black on IL white ground the
white letters will appear larger, and
be read ut a greater distance, than the
black. This is owing to what is called
the irradiation of light. 1t depends on
this: that the impression made on the
bottom of the eye by bright objects ex-
tends little wider than the actual por-
ton of the organ struck by the light,
and, invading the space occupied by the
darker objects, makes the brl ghter ap-
pear larger than they really are.

corporal and package of old Dutch
tobacco might be placed at its foot, and
