a cave, not far from Catherine, guarded
by five men, and save that he had to put
up with very Indifferent fare-brcad and
goats flesh-and had to sleep on a bed of
leaves, he never experienced any bad
treatment at their hands. They had no
fires during the day, fearing to be de-
tected through the smoke. Once he was
threatened to be roasted alive. 1t would
appear that the chiefs of another band,
unfriendly to Niko, came to the drago-
man of the consulate, proposing to catch
him and bring him to Mr.. Blunt. who
would then negotiate for an exchange of
prisoners. This came to the knowledge
of tho men guarding Col. Synge, and
they told him that had this proposition
been accepted and Niko captured they
would have ilayed him, covered him with
petroleum, and placed him over fire.
Mr. Blunt, however. saw too much dam
ger i'll the scheme, ard declined it, When
the money was being counted Niko cx-
amined every piece to sec that they were
not marked, and insisted on delay of 81
hours before allowing Col. Synge to 90,
in order to enable him and his band to
leave the neighborhood having from the
first refused an amnesty Niko is n young

DE-. NATHAN ALIEN, the veteran studen,
of social matters has an article in the cur
rent number of the North American Pegie5c,
on the increase of divorces in New England
In the eighteen wears between 1860 and
1873 inclusive. 1,233 divorces were obtained
in Massachusetts. 2,s115 in Vermont, T,TS1
in Connecticut, and during the last ten
years 1855 in Rhode Island. The proper
tion of divorces To the whole number OF
marriages has steadily increased in all these
States. The average of divorces in Yer
mont TO the whole number OF marriages dur
ing the five years between 1860 and 1865 was
to %: between 1878 and 1878 it WAS / to
10; in Connecticut during the iirst five
years it was to IS; during the last five it
was to 10; in Massachusetts during the
first five years it was to 80; during the
last five it was to %. The increase in the
two former has been nearly one-third, while
in Massachusetts, it has nearly doubled. DR.
Allen regards this unfortunate feature OF our
social life us chiefly due to the decay of tie
old idea o! the religious Sanctlty oI marriage
1t is now held as little more than Il civil con-
tract-a sort of partnership formed 10 last
during the convenience or inclination of the
parties. Another cause is the growing dis
like of Americans to the raising Of large fam
lilies; and still another is the relative decrease
in the number of marriages owing 10 cxtrav-
agant ways of living into which this genera
ton has fallen. The grounds on which di-
vorce is now granted in New England have
Increased in the las; forty wears from . 10 s.
Formerly they were only deser,iOn anl adul-
terry; now, in Massachusetts for instance,
they are dtseriion, adultery, habitual iDtoxi-
cation, cruelty, abusive treatment, neglect
to support, imprisonment and impotency-
1t is matter of course that the number of
divorces would increase in such circum-
stances
