DIVORCES roo PLENTY II MAINE.

Portland Correspondence Of Boston Jo,lsaatt
. In fact, our divorce laws actually
encourage dissolution of the mar
riage contract, and, as . result, the
number of divorces is annually in
creasing, while scores .oflawyers find
the business Of getting parties d.
vorced a profitable: one. One lawyer
is reported to have said that his prac:
tice would, not be worth. . picayune
were it not for his divorce business.
Ofthe >487 divorces granted last
year, 238 were for desertion,: 49, for
adultery, ~ for: cruelty, S. TOR drunk:
enness, and SO for other causes, such
as neglect to provide ilncompatibility
of temper, setc. One divorce TO- which
our attention, was called at the time
was decreed ina certain county for
about as absurd and trivial q: reason
as one could possibly conceive, and
yet, because one liked billed yittels"
and the other didn't, there was . want
of harmony between the two which
was sufficient cause for" the marriage
relations2to be legally severed:

and atheist yet nobody has hitherto tried To
forbid the inculcation of all religious tenets "
whatever; the endeayor has been to find some
general and undoctrinal belief In which good
people of every creed can be made to agree.
Already we hear indignant protests against
the exclusion of the Bible and the virtual pro-
hibition of Christianity and there are signs
that the Presidents proposal will be fought
with equal vehemence by earnest Protestants
and sincere Catholics. The exclusion OF "re-
"ligious tenetsr from the schools will not
reconcile the Roman Catholics to them, but
will only intensity their opposition, for they
condemn the common schools not because
the Bible is read in them, but pre-
cisely on the ground that they are "ir-
"relgious.n And it will undoubtedly secure
the enmity of a great many orthodox
Protestants, and satisfy them that the Kew. Mr.
Miller was right when he said in The TRIBUNE
Yesterday that estate schools arc mistake"
and that Government has nothing to do with
education" In short, Gen. Grant Is making
enemies for the common schools in every Ill
rection, except perhaps among avowed atheists
Mr.. Blaine's simple proposition seems to us
great deal better. He suggests merely an
amendment to prevent any religious denom-
nation from getting cOntrOl of the school
money. That would accomplish all that Is
needed, and put stop to unseemly quarrels'

deripg. But here comes something to mystlfy
them sill further We do not pretend to un-
derStand 1t, to say whether it is authentic, to
know who is responsible for it., or to
gucss its motive. We only know that
it is clearly an explosive missile, hurled
info the midst of the Presidential as
pirants on the Republican side, and likely
to damage somebody, Though whether most
dangerous to the man who throws or the man
at whom it ia thrown, time must determine
