A CoNUNDRuM ANsWERED.-A
smart young man askcd gentle
man from Cape Cod. "What is the
difference between you and clam?'
thinking that the Cape Codger
would say he didn't know and then
the yonng man would pity him Tor
not being able to see any difference
between himself and a clam, but
the thing didn't work. The Cod
ger took the young man and
brushed a path across the street
With him, and then, after crowding
him into an empty tish-barrei and
yanking him out agafn,s said, "a
clam wouldn't be playing with you
this way. That's the difference
'twlxt me an clam" The young
man had no more questions to ask.

Marriage and Duorce.

The Worth Americd7s Revieur
has an article upon the subject of
divorces, especially in New Eng
land, which is attracting large
degree of attention. The Increase
in the last two decades, in the ratio
of divorces TO arrages, is re-
ma, kable. In 1860, in three of
these States, it was about one to
thirty. In 1878, it was one to Sly
teen, and in this present year OF
grace, it is one to ten. This
calculation is OF course con-
fined to the Protestant popu-
lation. for among the Roman
Catholics, divorce are not
allowed. En- the middle, and es-
peciaHy IN the western staoes, the
ratio cannot be less. It is mark
of the growing corruption OF soci-
ety. The community is cutting
loose from the sanctions of relig-
ion, and with religion other ordi-
nances of God die out no less,
such as marriage and the family
Marriage, in the eye Of the law, is
civil contract only, made at will
by men, and why should it not like
any other contract, be done away
by mutual agreement and consent?
1t needs not to GO far to fad %
reason. There is desertion and
neglect, cruel treatment, want of
support, and that most ccmpre-
hensive reason, ineompatibility-
The parties have changed their
minds, they see opportunity to DO
better, they have found an affinity,
and SO the statey which got fee
tor the license to marry, gets an
other one for the license to sepa-
rate. The Church makes a canon
on the subject of divorce and re-
marriage but who breaches Il ser-
iron upon the sinfulness of it?
Do not the clergy, when people
come to be married, take it for
granted it is albright jnst as 10 case
of burial they take it for granted

Ii they preached abont if, it might
te thought personal there would
be so many divorced parties in
their own congregations. They
have no misgivings on the subj ect;
no one ever spoke to them. Even
the press Is for the most part silent;
they might lose subscriber. Aud
so the land, not to say the Church,
is becoming denoralized. and that
institution, which has come down
| to us as areiic OF Eden, to remind
US of the joys of that Pan adiSe, -
brought into and degrad-
ed into mere civil contract or
bargain. and is ,u,hlesslv broken.
The Church and the world need,
upon this subject, line upon line !;
the clergy should cry aloud and
spare not, that they may stay the
ude of corruption and sin, which
bids fair to overwhelm the world.

az saop as it became known that the

there was marked improvement IN bnsl-
ness all ever the country in the business
centres, An effort was made to depreciate
stocks and securities by Jay Gould and
his Republican followers, but when be
found that there were ready buyers at the
decline for four times the number of shares
offered at the forced depreciation, he and
the other Republican sharks let mp on the
dodge and the stocks resumed their nor.
NAL value. The business interests dodge
is too stale for Republicans to use this year,
They tried to fatten out the market
in New York after the Maine election for
political effect, but il was task beyond
their ability to perform, and now the
healthy reaction shows that. as the pro-
spects Of Hancock's election brighten. the
business of the country continues to i'm
prove. The people have confidence in
Hancock and are not afraid to trust him
and the great party of which he is the
leader. They want change and on Mo-
yember 2 will give expression 10 their
desire iby electiug Hancock and English
president and vice president Of the United

Illinois Republicans Discouraged.

4 special to the St. Louis Republican
says:-"Ostensibly to attend the fair there
is rush of Republicans in Springfield to-
night. all wearing anxious and gloomy
contenances. Gov. Cullum has returned
from a campaigning tour in the north end
of the state. and while be endea7ors to be
cheerful, it is easy to detect that he would
invest but little cash on his chances. A
Republican state isenator, who has
been stumping Indiana. is also among the
disconsolate in the city aud comedies that
state is going Democratic, but says the
majority will be small. This gathering of
the faithful at this time clearly indicates
that they are now engaged asking one and
another what can be done to save illinois
That the greatest CONSERVATION prevails
among Republican politicians there can be
no doubt. They see as goes indiana SO goes
Illinois. The state fair has brought per,
sons here from all parts Of the state. among
whom are great many Republicans who
do not depend on Office for living, and
it was common occurrence to hear many
of these gentleman who have kept apace
with events to concede that Hancock's
election is an accomplished fact"

erect the monument, which is to be built
over the Union Pacific track at its highest
elevation, in the form of pyramidal arch,
the base of which will be sixty feet square

From Shakespeare to Clay Greene is
something of a jump; but following the
present eye to the present object. upon
Clay Green s labors you must ahght.
Robson & Crane have crossed the
chasm iu perfect safety. The fun
generated by these twain is almost
wholly physical. 1t is to this.
kind of fun, in it's highest development
that Robson and Crane owe their trsmen-
deus popularity. The fact of their
popularity's continual increase, is due to
their success in finding new material from
season to season. They never keep any
play long enough TO let people tire of it.
In essence. unchanged. yet in form forever
new, their work is the more greedily
enjoyed as people see more of ii. Their
present engagement at Hooley,s Theatre is
by far the largest they have ever played
in this city. So great has been the crush
that the seats designed for and always
heretofore occupied by the members of the
orchestra. have been sold out every night
Ono pleasing result Of this prosperity has
been the partial SUPPRESSION of the orches-
ira The members of that athletic body
have been concealed under the stage, at
distance and behind objects sufficient to
protect the audience from the results of
that vindictive fury with which the drums
and brasses are nightly attacked by their
proprietors.
Reserved seats now on sals at Bowlby's
music store, and Judging from the demand
already shown. there is likely to be a
cordial reception to Robson and Craze
next Tuesday evening.
