TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
Tyner's Report.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The Times,
referring to Tyner's statement, says :
Tyner's tale that he discovered the
star route frauds in 1879 and made a
"confidential report" on the matter.
and that he was persuaded by Mr..
Hayes to keep the report to himself
''for the sake of harmony in the party"
is delightfully."- ingenious. The report
has just been brought to the light of
day, and it is the basis on which Tyner
builds his defense. To account for the
appearance in 1881 of report said to
have been written in 1879, and to get
in claim for Tyner being the original
discoverer of the Star route frauds, it
was only necessary to prepare a docu-
ment and then assert that it had been
locked up in Tyner's safe ever since
1879. The grotesquely improbable part
of this story is that which represents
him anxious in 1879 to prosecute the
men whom he was busily defending in
1880.
The Times Washington special says
The President fully understands this
entire matter, and the request for
Tyner's resignation was the result of a !
thorough inquiry into that gentleman's |
official conduct. Nothing that Tyuer
Or his friends can do will save him, and
Frank Hatton will be nominated on
Tuesday to be First Assistant Post
master General. The story that Grant in
erceded with the President for Tyner's
etention is also untrue. Grant has not
lttere word in Tyner's behalf, but
N the contrary Joined in recommend
ng the appointment of Hatton as his
uccessor. In an interview with the
'resident yesterday, Tyner, discover !!
ng that he could not continue to hold '
is present place, asked to be appointed '
commissioner of Railways, which office
now vacant, but this request was per-
nptorily refused by the President.

The Court of Appeals in New York
has decided that a divorced person, who
under the law of New York is incapa-
citated from contracting another mar
riage in that State, can nevertheless
contract valid marriage outside of the
State jurisdiction, which must be recog-
nized in New York. The principle laid
down is that a marriage valid where
contracted is valid everywhere. This
ruling is contrary to the frequent deter
mination of the lower courts, and is
letting down Of the bars for divorced
parties who wish to remarry.

Marriage.

Men and women, and especially young
people, do not know that 1T takes years
to marry completely two hearts, even OF
the most loving and well-sorted. But
nature allows no sudden change. We
slope very gradually from the cradle to
the summit of life. Marriage is gradual,
a fraction of us at time. A happy
wedlock is long falling in love. l
know young persons think love belongs
only to brown hair and plump, round,
crimson cheeks. SO it does for its be-
ginning, just as Mount Washington be-
gins at Boston bay. But the golden
marriage is part OF love which the bri-
dial day knows nothing of. Youth is the
tassel and silken flower of love, age Is
the full corn, ripe and solid in the ear.
Beautiful is the morning of love with its
prophetic crimson, violet purple and
gold, with its hopes of days that are to
come. Beautiful also is the evening Of
love, with its glad remembrances, and
its rainbow side turned toward heaven
as well as earth. Young people marry
their opposites IN temper and general
character, and such marriage is gener-
ally good one. They do it instinct
lively. The young man does not say,
MY black eyes require to be wed
with blue, and my overvehemence re-
quires to be a little modified with
somewhat of lullness and reserve"
When these opposites come together
to be wed, they do not know it, but
each thinks the other Just like him
self. Old people never marry their
opposites they marry their similars and
from calculation. Each Of these two
arrangements is very proper. In their
long journey, these young opposites
will fall out by the way a great many
times, and both will charm the other
back again, and by and by they will be
agreed as to the place they will go to,
and the road they will go by, and be-
come recOnciled. The man will be no.
bier and larger for being associated with
so much humanity unlike himself, and
she will be a nobler woman for having
manhood beside her, that seeks to cor
rect her deficiencies and supply her with
what she lacks, if the diversity be not
too great, and there be real piety and
love in their hearts TO begin with. The
old bridegroom, having much shorter
journey TO make, must associate himself
with one like himself. A perfect and
complete marriage is, perhaps, as rare
as perfect personal beauty. Men and
women are married fractionally-uow a
small fraction, then large fraction.
Very few are married totally, and they
only, | think, after some forty or fifty
years of gradual approach and expert
ment. Such large and sweet fruit is
complete marriage that it needs very
long summer to ripen in and then long
winter to mellow and season. But a
real, happy marriage of love and iudg-
ment between noble man and woman
is one of the things SO very handsome
that if the sun were, as the Greek poets
tabled, god, he might stop the world
in order to feast his eyes with such a
spectacle. Theodore Parker.

Insanity as a Disease.

Some sagacious observations on this
point may be found in the report of the
Commissioner of Lunacy in England,
1880. One extract will not be out of
place
"The disease of lunacy, it should be
observed, is essentially different in its
character from other maladies. In a
certain proportion of cases the patient
neither RECEIVERS nor dies, but remains an
incurable lunatic, requiring little medi-
cal skill in respect to his mental disease,
and frequently living many years. A
patient in this state requires place of
refuge, but, his disease being beyond
the reach of medical skill, it is quite
evident that he should be removed from
asylums instituted for the cure of insan-
ity, In order to make room for others
whose cases have not yet become hope
less. III some plan of this sort he not
.dopted, the asylums admitting paupers
will necessarily continue full Of inclr-
able patients, and those whose cases still
admit of cure will be unable to obtain
admission until they become incurable,
and the skill and labor of the physician
will thus he wasted upon improper OBJ
iects. The great expense of lunatic
hospital is unnecessary for incurable pa
tients the medical staff, the number Of
attendants, the minnie classification,
and the other requisites OF a hospital for
the cure of disease are not required To
the same extent. An establishment,
therefore, upon much less expensive
scale would be sufficient"
