Right of Divorced Man to Marry.

Right of n Divorced Man 70 Marry.
A somewhat singular case, inyoly-
ing the force of Connecticut divorce
laws, was before the Superior Court
in Worcester, Mass, Thursday. 1t
appears, according to the Norwich
Conn Bulletin, that the first wife
of DIR. Lyman A. Abott procured q
divorce from him in the Massachusetts
courts six years ago, he being a resid-
dent Of Connecticut at tie time. The
following year he contracted marriage
with another woman in Worcester,
where he has since resided, and an
indictment for polygamy was found
against him. The prosecution held
that according to the laws of Massachu.
setts Abbott had no right to marry
again. 1t was claimed in defense.
however, that he was so entitled by
the revised statutes of Connecticut, of
which State he was a bona fide resi-
dent at time Of the divorce, and that
he brought this status or acquired
right with him when he subsequently
moved to Worcester. The defense was
sustained by the court, on the ground
that the divorce court which sc eparated
the first wife must have known Alb
bott's privilege as Connecticut man,
and the Massachusetts statutory prohi-
bition of q second marriage without
leave clearly excepted instances like
this.

Asiatic Snow Plains.

The following description of the snow
plains of Central Asia is taken from
campaigning on the Oxus." "The
days pass-some In wild, fierce storms Of
snow and sleet. that howl around us ~
though all the demons of the steppe were
up in arms, some in bright sunshine.
whose intolerable glare blinds and blisters
our faces. From time to time we drive
down into darksome underground holes,
hot and reeking, hover around the stream
ing Samovar, pouring down oceans of boil
ing tea; then out on the silent steppe
again 10 continue the weary struggle.
There are nights when we awaken from a
half-frozen sleep, and remember we are in
the heart of the mysterious regions Of
Asia. and see nothing but the wide, snowy
steppe, silent and ghostly in the spectral
moonlight. For miles and miles there is
no human habitation, but the burrow-like
stations somewhere far ahead. buried
under the snow, as though crushed into
fatness by the grim uniformity above.
There is something strangely oppressive
and awful in the changeless monotony of
these wide, snowy plains, level as a floor,
where for days and weeks you ste nothing
but snow and sky. where you are the NOV
ing center of a horizon-bounded plain,
that seems to move with you. and hang
upon you, and weigh you down like a
monstrous milestone. There Is the breadth
and loneliness of the ocean without its
movement. the cold and ley silence of the
arctic region without the glory of the arc
tic nights or the grandeur Of the arctic
mountans-the silent desolation of an
unpeopled world. Those broad, level.
snowy plains, over which the Icy winds
frcr, Northern Siberia come rushing down
IN rarious blasts with an uninterrupted
sweep of thousand miles, and drive the
snow about In whrlwinds that go scud-
ding over the plain like giant specters; the
short days of sunshine, when the glare on
the snow dazzles and burns the long,
cold nights passed in q balf-frozen, half
somnolent state, with the tired beast
trudging YEARLY forward shiver now

when II came TO a standstill every thine

one Blue Line car just ahead of the pas

fully three feet. The rear coaches rolled
on past the ditched car as il nothing had
happened, and stopped without accident
or without tbe knowledge of the passen-
gers, several car-lengths beyond. The
engine stopped and backed up, connections
were made the track men were sent for
TO gauge the rails, and the train, one car
short, proceeded on its way, making its
meeting point at the next station. where
the particulars of the accident were stated
and the remarkable affair duly discussed
with the attaches of the north-bound train,
which was met al that point.
Such an accident has never before been
placed on record, and the Detroit and Bay
City is thus, as in all things else, entitled
to the broom. Whenever a car gets of
the track the road Is generally blocked up
for hours, and usually some damage is
done; but in this instance there was no
delay. no damage was done TO other cars
in the train, and, withal, none of the pas
sengers on board knew that any thing I'M
usual had occurred. Ofcourse, the happy
results were In 4 measure dpe 10 good
luck, but the presence of mind of the con.
ductor contributed largely.

The Royal Agricultural Society Of Lon
don has. along with other Investigations,
been prosecuting inquiries into the cause
and prevention Of the potato-disease.
Three years ago, Earl Cathcost offered a
prize Of fl00 for essays on the prevention
of the disease. His offer resulted I'm elieiting
no fresh information, and failed of direct
benefit. But II stirred the Society to ac-
tive dealing with the subject. and prizes
were offered for potatoes reputed TO be
proof against disease. Two prizes were
promised, at the beginning Of 1874, for
potatoes OF existing varieties; and two
more are to be awarded five years hence.
for varieties that may be originated mean
time. Six varieties competed for the first
prizes. To subject these to practical
test, 100 pounds of each variety were sent
to twelve stations in England, four In
Scotland, and four in ireland. During the
summer, Botanical Inspector visited
each station, and found disease affecting
the potatoes In every instance. Thus far,
no progress has been made I'm the discov-
cry of means tor preventing the disease !;
but much valuable information has been
acquired from the statistics collected, that
will bear upon the most important point.
Above all, it has been ascertained what
conditions Of soil and moisture confiDe the
disease to the narrowest limits. Prof. De
Barry, who has been studying the dis
ease from scientific point OF view, refers
It's origin to a fungus (Peronospora i,ltes-
tars) which first attacks the leaves, and,
after consuming the nutriment afforded
by them, seizes upon the petiole, and so
proceeds to the tubers. A further re-
port of the Committee of Inquiry will be
published soon.
