comment here. ''Betsey and / are OUT

between two old wayfarers ''Betsey and
T. made up again, but suit filed yester-
day for divorce relates story of another
old couple whose divisions did not have
the same happy termination. Elizabeth
Reynolds is the plaintiff, and her husband,
Luke, the defendant. According to her
statements they have been husband and
wife over half a century-they were mar
ried in March, 1881. For fifty years they
have presumably walked hand in hand. and
at this time, which should be the anniver-
sary of their golden wedding, they are on
the opposite sides of a court docket in a
suit for divorce. She says that his treat
ment of her has been cruel and inhuman
that he has failed to provide her with
clothing, and that he has tried 10 drive her
from home. She says that he is wealthy
man; that he owns eight houses and lots
in Louisville, worth $15, 600, from which
he derives an income of $50 or $50 per
month. She SAYS they are both old people
and in the course of nature she cannot ex-
peet to live much longer. She, therefore,
does not desire an absolute divorce, but
only separation from bed and board
She also prays for $40 per month alimony
and for an injunction restraining him
in the home in which she lives.

SHIP CANAL.
BALTIMORE, August S.-The project of
building ship-canal across the Maryland
and Delaware Peninsula appears to have
been put on solid financial foundation.
The requisite capital for the enterprise has
been secured and work on the canal will
soon be commenced. On Friday last Mr..
Horace B. Tibbetts, President of the Mary
land and Delaware Ship Canal Company,
received despatch from Paris stating that
subscriptions to the amount of SO, 000, 900
had been taken, $4,000, 600 in bonds and
81. 10000 in stock by Paris bankers. The
entire amount is $S,000,00O and Mr..
Tibbetts and other New York capitalists
have reserved the other $2,000.000 them
selves. Hiram Barney, M. Todenburg,
representative of Thalman & Co., bankers,
New York; George W. Sander, the COM
pany's counsel, and President Tibbetts are
now in this city making arrangements in
connection with the beginning of the work.
Nc aid either from the State or National
Government is to be asked for. The route
selected is what is known as the Sassafras
route, from the head of Sassafras River
directly across to the Delaware Bay.
