MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

The divorce mania has broken loose
upon tie country. Marriage ties are being
snapped as though they were but slender
threads. The oldtime reverence for the
matrimonial bonds has disappeared, and
divorce cases are multiplying so rapidly
that one need well pause and ask whether
the loose legislation in this respect, while
undermining the stability of the marriage
compact, has not struck dangerous blow
at the very foundation of the welfare OF
society. There are none but will answer
this question in the affirmative, aud yet
ib"evillies not alone in loose legislation.

Mrs. Handy vs. Mr.. Handy.
Solicitor Edward A. Newman has filed bill
for divorce In the name of Mary Z. Handy
against Theodore N. Handy, and IL the allega-
tion In the bill can be sustained by proofs,
then no one will deny the justice of her cause,
and that she is entitled to have her application
granted. She was Maggie E. Mcdaniel up to
September !, 1874, when Rev. Father Bokel,
Of st. Dominic's church, united her In the
bonds Of matrimony with Theodore N. Handy.
She was Of the same opinion as her friends at
that time, and believed that she had made
fine choice. In selecting q life partner, one
suitable to her In every respect, and one that
would prove faithful companion, no matter
what trouble might boset their path. Ere the
honeymoon had passed she saw changes In her
husband, and not many weeks later regretted
the day the wedding was celebrated. She
discovered that Mr.. Handy was fond of his
toddy, and that he possessed fearful temper,
and as they became accustomed 10 the society
Of one another he gave evidences Of being
very inhuman and even brutal man. On the
the heat Of passion, he struck her . heavy
blow between the eyes that caused copious
flow Of blood from the nose. --r
This wasfollowed by other wicked assaults.
On the following May, as she was passing tho
Agricultural Department grounds, he pounded
her numerically, and two months later felled
her to the sidewalk, near the grounds OF the
Smithsonian Institute. Not content with this
exhibition Of his brutality he tore most OF her
clothing from off the body, and left her to get
home as best she might In her semi nude state.
In the month Of September, 1875, when his
temper was at white heat he started at her
with large dirk knife, intending to carve her
into pieces, but fortunately failed TO carry out
the threat. The crowning act Of his baseness
was that of heating her the dAy that her child
was born. This deed not only endangered her
life, but It will be some time before she fully
RECEIVERS from the consequences of these mur
derous assaults.
She asserts that, when not In prison,
her husband is most always under the In
fuence Of liquor, and while In that condition
feels himself at liberty to attack her. He
contributes nothing to her support, and what
little she obtains by her own Efforts he tries TO
RIB her OF. Now she turns 10 the court
asking for relief, Ms sll hopes of hts rcfbrmi .
'an hsNe deps'tcl. She desires diV1rc",
