Not for Light Reasons.


In a recent lecture on g marriage, :"
Mr.. Chas, @. Ames compressed much
truth and common sense in the follow
ing terms "In class of cases sepa-
ration is right and necessary. It is too
loose and vague to say that '' inoompaE
bility" is a sufficient ground for divorce.
There are all degrees Of incompatibility,
and nearly every union is narred
by some degree of it. But where this
incempatibility is deep-sested. radical
and incurable, 50 that neither can be to
the other more than dog is to cat or
a bird to a beast where one party
proves hopelessly lost in lOathsome per-
sonal vices, where one party is persis-
tently faithless to all that is meant by
marriage where all means of com
ing into kindly relations have been
thoroughly tried and have thor
oughly failed and where the yoke
is chronic agony and disqual flcation
for all life; in such cases 1 think it is
an awful crime not to separate. But
this will not often happen, unless one
party or the other has fallen very low.
Not for light reasons, not IN haste, even
for reasons, should law, public opinion,
or private practice, consent to the de-
struction of household once formed.
The talk of divorce whenever there
is difficulty, is like sending for
the grave-digger whenever there is
sickness. We do not give up even
when the doctor says mo hope ; We
send for the other doctors; We fan the
last spark and when all is over, we
place hand on the still heart and ask
if its warmth must forever depart.
Nor do we then hasten to bury till the
dead threatens pestilence to the living.
In this spirit we must treat the disor-
ders to which the married state is al
ways liable; grudging no pains by
which harmony might be restored !;
welcoming every symptom of GONZALES
cence; saying or doing nothing to ag-
gravate or irFitate hoping against hope
to the last never so much as alluding
to fatal termination till the last throb
of mutual interest has ceased, and the
moral health of household and cemmu-
nifty command to bury the dead mar
liage out of sight"

Yellow Fever.
How 1t wor,.. Upon as victims.


How it Works Upon AS Victims.
The type of the disease varies from
year to year, and every great epidemic
has traits of its own but the main tea
lures are the same, and an experienced
and competent physician infallibly re-
cognizes these in twenty four hours.
True, it is impossible for the most skill
full to distinguish between these symp-
toms. s.and those of the Dengue, or ''bro-
ken-bone fever" for the first night and
day. A man in the enjoyment Of un-
common health and strength (for the
delusive disease seems to delight IN
snaring it's victim unawares, to make
the sacrice fat for its dark altar finds
rigor, or slight chill creeping over him,
followed by pains in the head and back,
and fever, which rises rapidly. The
pains become violent, excruciating, and
the pulse ranges from 10S to 100. The
tongue is not coated or furred, but as
sumes red, CLASSY appearance, and Of
ten swells to far beyond it's natural size
the gains begin TO enlarge, and black
deposit settles on the teeth. The secre-
tions of the body are deranged and Of
ten the bladder becomes dry as pow
der horn, for the kideys fail to perform
their function. Woe TO the patient
when such is the case, for the urinary
acid it almost sure to be carried TO the
brain, producing the widest diliriu1n,
and if not quickly relieved, issuing in
speedy and terrible death. The stom-
ach is disordered, and often there is a
Ill position to reich the nerves become
prematurely excited, and the restless
ness is indescribabIe, while the eyes are
painfully sensitive to Light, and the
ears to sound. In some cases the lips,
the Whole face grow red as crimson.
Usually the full, corded pulse thFobs
with sledge-like stroke-the other symp-
toms unabated-for seventy two hours,
when the fever deelines-the pulse still
remaining quick, but like the trembling
vibration Of a thread. By this time the
patient is so reduced that he can scarce
ly lift his head, on indeed raise On eye
lid. This is the critical period, and in
fact, forward from this time until abso-
Lutte, not apparent, eonvalescence takes
place.
Yellow fever is sometimes thought to
be a high type of bilious but there
could be no greater mistake, for count
less autopsies IN the south have showed
the liver to be in good condition; indeed
1 have not heard Of a case where it was
seriously implicated. The disease is
stsi geaeris, having little or no kinship
with other malarious affections, and is
distinctly poison to the blood. Hence
the constant tendency to extravasation
of the blood into the gums, eyes, ears,
stomach; for in some severe cases, blood
is thrown out from every opening Of the
body. It is often forced in large guam
titles into the stomach, and when this
is thrown off the black vomit occurs.

An Irish Eviction as Described, by
Mr.. Bradiaugh.

In my checkered life have been a
private soldier, and between 1s49 and
1850 I was in the county Cork, stationed
at Ballancholy. Those Of you who are
Irishmen viii want no description of

to protect the law officers, who had
come with the agent from Dublin to
make an eviction few miles from In
niscaFra, where the river Bride joins the
Lee. 1t was miserable day-rain freez-
ing into sleet SIS it fell-and the men beat
down wretched dwelling after wretched
dwelling, some thirty or forty perhaps.
They did not take much beating down
there was no flooring to take up; the
walls were more mud than aught else,
and there was but little trouble In the

and she asked that her house might be

could not live long, and she asked that
he might be permitted to die In it in

this poor woman there a raving maniac,
with one dead babe in one arm, and
another in the other, clinging to the cold
nipple of her lifeless breast. And if
you had been brothers to such awoman,
sons of such woman, fathers of such
woman, would not rebellion have
seemed the holiest gospel you could
hear preached? Two hundred and fifty
thousand evictions took place in the
twenty years preceding 1866. Two
hundred and fifty thousand Can you

Brother separated from sister, husband
from wife, the Union work-house taking
one, and the other going out trying to
find life if he can. This system has
gone on until it has made a misery so
vast that it will require not one act of
parliament in favor of wisdom, not one
statutein faver of justice, not one declara-
ton in favor of humanity, but genera
tions and generations of generous and
kindly treatment, not to build up but
in some degree to efface the bloody stain
of iniquity We have made on the page of

The Invention of the Steamboat.

la an article From the Potomac to
the Ohie, - in Lippineott's Magazine for
October, occurs this paragraph:
''When the little harbor at the mouth
of Sir Johns run was still more wild
and lonely than now, James Rumsey, a
working bath-tender at Berkely springs,
launched upon it boat that he had in
vented Of novel principle and propul-
sive force. The force was steam, and
Rumsey had shown his model to Wash
ington IN 1850. First discoverers of
steam iocomotiOn are turning up every
few months in embarrassing numbers,
but we cannot feel that We have right
to suppress the claims of honest Rum
sey, the protege of Washington. The
dates are said to be as follows Rum
sey launched his steamboat here at Sir
Johns run in 1854, before the general
and a throng of visitors from the
springs; in 1873, John Fitch launched
another FIRST steamboat on the Delaware,
and sent it successfully up to Burling-
ton; in 1907, Robert Fulton set third
mont. Rumsey's motion was obtained
by the reaction of current squirted
through the stern of the boat against
the water of the river, the current be-
ing pumped by steam. This action, SO
primitive, so remote from the principle
of the engine now used, seems hardly
worthy to be connected with the great
revolutionary invention of steam-travel;
yet Washington certified his opinion
that ''The discovery is of vast imPor-
tance, and may be of the greatest use
fulness in our inland navigation. E"
James Rumsey, with just a suspicion Of
the irritabiIi,y of talent, accused Fitch
Of coming pottering around his ViF-
ginia workbench and carrying of his
ideas, to be afterward developed in
Philadelphia. 1t is certain that the de-
velopment was great. Rumsey died In

The ELECTS Of the hnancial panic OF
the transportation business have beer
very serious. Railroed freight on al
the principal lines from New York Il
che west has fallen of since the be
ginning of the panic from 25 to so per
cent. This is more particularly the
case with freight, bound west The
eastern-bound freight, which consists,
mainly of grain, has not been 50 Sc
riously affected as yet, but unless wes-
tern buyers, who are compelled 70 pay
gresnbaeks for grain. are supplied BY
the banks with something besi7es certi
ied checks, they say that the movement
of produce eastward viii soon cease.
Inquiries made yesterday at the Offices
of the three great competing railroad
lines, the New York Central, Erie aud
Pennsylvania Central, elected substan-
tally the same facts. All of these
lines did an unusually large business
up to the time the panic begun, and all
were anticipating a larger business in
October than was ever known before.
Each company had enlarged its facili-
ties for transportation far beyond any
previous year, and wss expecting an un-
precedented season of prosperity. The
western bound through freight from
New York on the Central and Hudson
river roads fell OF ct least 25 per cent.
during the first two weeks of October
from what Il was during the same two
weeks last year. On New York state
freight the falling of during the same
time was about eight per cent. As the
railroad freight tariff is much lower this
season than heretofore on. this line, this
falling of really represents a reduction
of 80 or 40 per cent. from last year. On
the Pennsylvania Central road the effect
has been the same. Since the 2Oth of
September through freight to the west
has fallen of nearly so per cent. Up
to that time the road had done larger
business than in any previous season
since it was built.
The Erie officials tell the same story.
During the month of September the
freight business was well maintained,
and showed larger aggregate than in
September of last year or any previous
month. but since October came in and
the effects of the panic began to be felt
more Perceptibly in the west, freighta

JeRsrson's Poverty.

MIR. Jeferson's affairs did not mend,
though he enjoyed the able and resolute
assistance of his grandson and name
sake, Thomas Jefferson Randolph and
he resolved, at length, to discharge the
worst of his debts in the fashion of old
Virginia, by selling a portion Of his
lands. But there was nobody to buy.
Land sold in the usual way would not

quently he petitioned the legislature to
relax the operation of the law so far as
to allow him to dispose Of some of his
farms by lottery, as was frequently
done when money was TO be raised for
a public object. The Legislature granted
his request, though with reluctance.
But, in the meantime, it had been noised
sbroad, all over the union, that the
author of the declaration of independ-
ence was about to lose that far-famed
Monticello, with which his name had
been associated in the public mind for
two generations, the abode Of his prime
and the refuge of his old age, a Mecca
to the republicans of many lands. "A
feeling arose in all liberal minds that
this must not be done; and, during the
spring of 1925, the last of his years
subscriptions were made for his relief
in several places. Philip Hone, mayor
Of New York, raised without an effort,
as Mr.. Randall records, $500; Phila-
delphia sent So, coo, and Baltimore s.
900. The lottery was suspended, and
Mr.. JefEerson's last days were solaced
by the belief that the subscriptions
would suffice to free his estate from
debt, and secure home and independ-
ence to his daughter and her children.
He was proud of the hberaiity Of his
eountrymen, and proud to be its object.
