His Grounds for Divorce.

Yesterday, Solomon Glass, colored man,
whose experience in agricultural pursuits has
enlightened his neighborhood, came to town
with view of getting a divorce from his
wife. When asked upon what grounds, he
replied:
s.Sufficient is de grounds of dis occasion
When rented 10 acres and worked one
mule l married q oman suitable for de occa-
sion. Now / rent 60 acres oh Ian and work
five mules. My fust wife is mighty good
10 acre wife, but she don't suit de occasion
OBJ 60 acres. I needs a oman what can
spread more"
When told by lawyer that the ground:
were not sufficient, he remarked:
81 kin produce de histry to show whal
I'm careek.. Is learned man and can read
clar around de majority OBJ colored gentle
men an a great many white fellers. d.
reasons belongs to de French history, an
though doesn't speak French, talks abou
it. You know Napoleon fust married 10
sephine de Beauharis'
..Yes," said the lawyer, "but you may be
come a trife too historically opulent if you
proceed much further"
"Dat's ell right. An you know dat wher
he got up to de head OBJ de gubernment, an
had charge OBJ all de commisseriss, he wantet
wife what could spread more, and he got
dispensation from Josephine and hitched ont
Maria Louisa, case she could spread more
Oars de history, an dar's de precedent, an
eff a man can't get a dispensation on des
| groun's, whar's yer court houses, an whar
your law"

Sphere of Women.
rRon~roft

As republican institutions gain ground wo-
men appear less on the theater of events.
Sha whose presence in this briery worlds as
lily among thorns, whose smile is pleasant,
like the light of morning, and whose eye is
the gate of Heaven; she whom nature so
reveres that the lovely vail of her spirit is
the best terrestrial emblem of beauty, ceases
to command armies or reign supreme over
legislation. Yet the progress of liberty,
while it has made her less conspicuous in his
toric events, has redeemed her into the pos
session of the full dignity of her nature, as
made her, net mans slave, but his compan-
ion. his counsellor and fellow-martyr; and for
an occasional ascendency in political affairs,
has substituted the uniform enjoyment of
domestic equality. The avenue to public
life seems closed against her, but without i'm
pairing her power over mind, or her fame.
The Tyre is as obedient to her touch, muse as
coming to her call. as to that Of man; and
truth. in its purity, finds no more honored
interpreter.

LincOln's Assassination.
Communication to Troy Times.l

Among the news items In your paper of
Thursday last appeared a statement that
VIM. Withers, Jr., leader of the orchestra at
Ford's theater on the occasion of the assass-.
nation of President Lincoln, impeded the
progress of Booth across the stage after the
fatal shot. This is mistake; one was on
the stage before the scenes. When Booth
jumped from the box at the time, the MUIR
dered president still sat in his chair Laura
Keene stood in the right entrance, about to
come on the stage at the commencement OF
the scene. and Booth, as he passed her rudely
pushed her aside with the hand that held a
knife. The knife caught in the sleeve of her
dress and cut it. Booth fastened on to the
door in the rear of the theater; and Miss
Keene who had recognized him, rushed to
the footlights with both hands above her
head and, with all her dramatic power in
voice and action, cried: Its John Wilkes
BOOTH Kill biml kill hmi'' Until then not
u man or woman in the audience had moved.
All thought that the firing of the pistol was
IA part of the play, and the appearance of
Booth at the edge of the box, the jumping to
the stage, and the screaming of Mrs Lincoln
had the effect of palsy on the people, and no
one stirred until Booth had disappeared, Then
there was a rush for the stage, and the first
one to reach it was VIM. Flood, masters
