divorce from his supposed wife, issued,
signed and sealed, by the Circuit Court
of WalwOrth county, Wisconsin.
One feature of this vile divorce bro
kerage is thus alluded to by the World
I'm this case a divorce lawyer receiv-
ed money for procuring a divorce when
he was assured by the plaintiff at the
outset hat there were no grounds to
warrant a divorce, and when he knew
there was no evidence to support the
demand for a divorce, and did not even
pretend to furnish evidence. To the
presumed wife whom he took for grant
ed he wrote an autographs letter which
we hold. This letter inclosed a paper,
of which We hold a verified copy, and
the object Of ,ohich uas to deceice the pre-
sumed wye into 6eliering that she cas-
signing a certificate uhich related only to
a moneyed suit, and not in the least to a
dirorce."
There is no doubt many women are
thus tricked out of their marital rights.
Few women have any knowledge oflaw,
or legal forms. and all women ''have a
horror of learning anything about
either.
Washington probably has as many
curious phases of the divorce of hus-
band and wife as any city in the country.
Every day brings something new. The
last is in a somewhat notable family we
see together daily, apparently in har-
mony. They consist of husband, wife
and two little babies, who lived together
at the home Of the husbands parents
until the wife's certificate of divorce
came along some weeks ago, from In
diana. (grounds. ''incompatibility of
temper, } and t%hereupon the wife pack
ed up her trunks, gathered up one of
the children and moved we to the
home of her own parents, who are we'll
to-do people. 1t was all very pleasant
ex-husband, with his one-half of
the progeny, politely accompanied the
ex-wife and her division of offspring.
and had her baggage slowed away in her
new home; after a little family chat all
round the table the male division with
drew with his baby. At the door Ia
ia, come and see me when you can"
uuoth he. The babies were kissed by
the several parties in interest, and the
ex-husband and his half of the nuptial
issue went off cheertully homeward.
And so they keep it up daily visitors.
The wife was born in this city and has
never been IA dozen miles away from it.
Neither of the parties has ever seen the
Hoosier State. But an Indiana court
decreed them divorced.

Mari Again.

KINsTON n. c., March 22nd, 1879.
Pref. Kerr, State biologist.
DEAR SIR Can a good Fertilizer
be made of Mari by the addition of
Chemicals? The Mari alluded to has been
analysed and found to contain from IS
to 80 per cent. of lime, the Mari beds
are on the banks of the River Neuse
therefore easily shipped to any desired
point, can it be worked to advantage or
not, and if SO what chemicals would be
required, also what quantity of each,
also what are the best means to get the
lime to a fine, or powdered condition. Is
it better to crush the rock or use a
chemical process. Please let me hear
from You immediately with full particu-
lars
Answered, as the letter the other day;
That it will not pay to manipulate a
cheap article like Mari, which needs to
be applied by the ton and broadcast,
with expensive ingredients like ammo
MIA, phosphate &C., which are best used
in the drill and can only be used in
small quantities per acre. Mari will not
pay for grinding or bagging, either
alone or mixed with more costly com
pounds. w. Z. r.

EOindexter Sentenceu-His Man
ly Speech.

This morning John f.. Poindexter,
convicted of the voluntary ~manslaughter
of {. {. Gusts, was led to the bar of
the Hastings Court for sentence. In
response to the question of the Judge
whether he had anything to say why
the sentence of the law should not be
passed, the prisoner arose and in a
very firm voice said in substance that
he could not bow his head and receive
the sentence of the law without again
responding Not Guilty" and pro-
testing against the verdict-a verdict
which, If ratified by the Judgment of
the community, makes him the first
cictim Of a reroiptton IN tile public senti-
ment Of has ndtiUe State, ohich has edu-
Gated him to beliere that tie defence Of
noman IS one Of the first duties a man
oaces himself and society. He declared
that all he did was in sclfdefence, and
that he had been actuated by no malice.
His whole shadowing thought had been
the protection Of his own life. He
would gladly give one-half of his re-
naming days to restore Curtis to life.
He spoke in terms of sympathy for the
deceased and for his sister. He alluded
to the awful chastisement he had suffer-
ed, and that he would suffer for the re-
mainder of his life; that to him two
years in the penitentiary was as great a
punishment as twenty.
He invoked for himself the charity
that he felt for all others, and expressed
the deepest regret for an act, which
while committed in the inherent right
of self-detence, would always blight his
life.
He closed by thanking Judge Chris
tian for the sympathy and kindly feeling
expressed for himself.
When the accused commenced his
address he spoke in a very firm Tone
As he proceeded his voice became husky
with emotion, and finally, overpOwered
by his feelings, he broke down. There
was considerable sympathy expressed
for his condition, and many eyes were
wet with tears. At the conclusion of
the remarks Judge Christian sentenced
him to the penitentiary for two years.
