Henry Barlow, at Greenville,, Mis-

the wisdom ct the old proverb, ''It is
time enough to bid the d--l good

Louis Harris; then Louis Harris lay
for Henry Barlow, and fetched, him

Louis was held to be Justified, and

How Indiana Divorces are Pro-
y Dab h5iW cured.

A4-@ - @f.tIrpf1
IS An interesting example Of otheaway
in which the liberal divorce laws eof
Indiana sometimes operate, is given
in a Louisville paper. "A woman in
Indianapolis was in poor health, and
fearing that in case she should die
her husband would obtain control of
certain property that she possessed,
she visited her sister in Louisville,
KY, in order to carry. out a scheme
While staying with her sisters
crossed the river to New Albany,
where she rented q house for three
months, and on this transaction based
aresidence there. She then Instituted
q suit for divorce, after which she re-
turned to her hurband at indianapolis.
About a, year ago she received a tele-
graph dispatch requesting her imme-
diate presence in Louisville in conse-
quence of illness in her sisters family
and showing this to her, husband be
readily consented to second visit to
her sister. At this time she again
went over to New@Albany, where she.
received her decree of divorce, which
she quietly put in. her pocket and car
ried home, It is possible that the
husband would have never known
that had taken place, at least during
her~lffe time, had he not excited her
ire by, insisting one day. too much on
his own way as the head of the fami-
ly; upon which she very curtly in-
formed him that he need not try to
tyrapnize over her, as she was not his
wife, at the same time producing the
documents to prove her assertion
The husband was more than astonlshed
but he insists upon it that such di-
voree as that Will never stand, in
which opinion he is probably right O
