The Presidential Jockey-The
Dead Chief Justice.


From the Mobile Register.
General Grant, in his horse Jockey
p~ropensities, presents himself to oal
mind in his most amiable characterize
ic. The horse is a noble animal, and
there must be something noble in the
human animal that admires and cher
ishcs him. Still, it is quite possible to
be little out Of season in ones dem
onstratiOns of fondncss for the horse.
Grant, evidently, is not fond Of attend.
ing the funerals of his friends. When
ever Il great man of his party dies: he
tlnds it convenient to be out of the
way. State affairs, or something else,
generally afford him forms Of excuse
for these unseemly absences. Chief
Justice Chase was buried in New York
on the 10th inst, with great pomp and
ceremonies. Ulysses did not grace the
event with his presence, and the New
York Tribune" takes note of it. For
q reason, it refers to a Washington
despatch in the New York "Times,"
Grants personal organ. There was a
horse mixed up with it. No doubt tue
faithful will accept the following as
entirely satisfactory:
The President was out on the road
exercising a pair of under three
year-old colts, which he has just had
sent from his farm, near st. Louis.
One is a dark bay and tue other a beau.
-iiul dapple bay. Driven together,
hey show q superb style, speed, and
and are probably the finest pair
horses of their age ever brought to
Washington. They are colts of the
residents own raising, and be was
carcely aware until he saw them on
he farm that such a new possession
nd delight were in store for him.

Summers Divorce.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.l
1t is announced that the Hon
Charles Sumner has obtained q divorce
from his wife on account OF five year,
wl'llCul absence from bed and board,
which Is ground for a divorce under
de laws of the State OF Massachusetts,
We have q suspicion. founded upon
the gossip Of Mrs. Grundy, who in
this instance, we are quite sure, has
not made q mistake, that Mrs. Charles
Sumner has really secured the suncer-
ing of the marital tie rather than her
distinguished husband, although it APP
pears in his name. Mrs. Charles Sum
ner was, at the time Of her marriage, a |
widow, young and blooming, still IN
her twcntics, and, we believe, without
any children. Her first husband was
the eldest son Of Mr, Hooper, a mil
lionaire Congressman from Massa
chusetts, II is believed in Washing
ton that Mrs. Sumner had q good le'
ga, ground for 4 divorce against her
husband, recognized as such under .he
laws Of nil countries and States, Out
that she was unwilling 10 plead II both
from motives of dclicacy to her and
himself, and that, therefore, it was lnn
tualiy arranged that she should absent
herself for n period that would give
the Senator a legal right to cancel the
matrimonial contract.
We know not how it may be, but 1t
has. been said that \ jealousy on the
part Of the honorable Senatorhad con
siderable to do with this unfortunate
proceeding, When the parties were
married, one, we presume, was in the
n~eighborh0od Of three score, and the
other a score and n quarter. There
was, therefore, naturally a disparity OF
years and OF tastes and habits This
almos. universally produces al unhap-
py marriage. But in this instance it
was aggravated, Mr., Sumner was not
only a bachelor Of long maturcd hab'
!, its, but he had formed other connec.
tons, and associations peculiar to him,
self even aside from that fact. For
Instance, 1t was sad that ne always
