n1ARR1AGE-DnvORCE.

vorce are being discussed from one en-,
of the country to the other, in mags
zines, the pulpit and the press. On
of our best exchanges, picked up thi
morning, says the lack Of uniformit,
in the laws Of the states, and particu
larly in laws regulating marriage ant
divorce, is a source of serious wrong
to innocent parties. 1t is not condu
Give to the public good to have thes'
laws SO conflicting that marriage Of
divorce consummated in one state j,
not valid in every state. As the whole
structure of well ordered society rests
on the marriage relations there should
be no uncertainty as to the meaning
and effect of all laws touching that re.
lation. But the statutes of states are
so much in conflict that two persons
may lawfully and inaocently marry
each other on one side of state line
who, should they enter into such rela-
tion on the other side of that line,
would be liable to term in the peni-
tentiary. People marry sometimes for
fun, sometimes for love, soiii etimes
for money and often for spite. A
singular case occurred recently in New
York where couple married "for fun"
that is likely to prove unpleasant TO
at least one if not both parties. One
of the part-his-hair-in-the-middl clerks
in a large china aud art goods estab-
lishment proposed marriage for fun"
to young lady clerk in the same es-
tablishment. The young girl said she
was in "for the fun" too, and they ad-
journed to the basement of the estab-
ment where an old eolored porter per
formed the ceremony with the usual
gravity, pronouncing them imam and
wife" 1t turns out that the old por-
ter is minister of the gospel, though
the young people were ignorant of the
fact, and performed the ceremony in
good faith. The couple are now try
ing to convince themselves and their
friends that they are not married.
that it was all joke. No certificate
of marriage was given and no fee was
paid, but in New York a certificate is
not required TO render a marriage |
While the laws of New
York require certain ceremonies, the
neglect of them does not inValidate the
marriage. Now such marriage as
hat, even if it was only ''for fun" may
md does hold good in New York, but
n many of the other states it would
amount to nothing. We are not post
ID as to what course the young couple
lere mentioned adopted in the matter.
t is a notorious fact that in some of
he states divorce is much more
asily procured than in others. The
orthern papers all contain advertise
lents of divorce lawyers who, owing
. the laxity of the laws in some of
he states, can easily procure divorce
Or good paying client and the other
Arty to the marriage contract know
othing of it. This is shame on our
oastei civilization and stop should
e put to it in some way. AS sug-
ested some time ago by another one
our exchanges, how would it do to
Ill convention of representatives
ON the different states and let them
iscuss the matterl Some good might
ome of it; anyhow it would cause the
uestion to be agitated throughout the
1untry.

river parishes have made some money
in potatoes and onions; but we have
not yet made as much out Of our rich
soil and soft climate IN this respect as
we might.
Virginia, the two Carolinas and
Florida have, SO far, profited NEST hy
this new industry. This cultivation Of
early vegetables in the South has re-
suited in complete change in tho
Northern markets, and the seasons for
vegetables and fruit there have greatly
altered Strawberries formerly came

DEWITT TALMAGE says in the Sun
day Magazine of woman "She has
the right to make home happy-that
realm no one has ave disputed with
her. Again, woman has a superlative
right of blessing and comforting the
sick. Again, woman has Il superlatiye
right to take care of the poor. 1t seems
as if the Lord had ordained woman for
an especial work in the solicitation Of
charities. Again, L have to tell you
that it is woman's specific right to COM
fort under the stress of dire disaster.
What a great mistake those business
men make who never tell their business
troubles to their wives. She, perhaps,
might not have disentangled your tlnan-
ces or extended your credit, but she
would have helped you to bear misfor-
tune. You have no right to carry on
one shoulder that which is intended for
two. Lastly, n of the specific rights
of women is, through the grace of
Christ, finally the reach of heaven"

The following statement of William
J. Coughlin, Of Somerville, Mass, is 50
remarkable that We beg to ask for it
the attention of Il readers. He says:
''In the fall of 1876 I was taken with
a violent bleeding of the lungs, followed
by q severe cough. l o on began to
lose my appetite and flesh. L was so
weak at one time that l could not leave
my bed. In the summer of 1877 l was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said / had a hole in
left lung rs big as a half dollar. /
expended over 4 hundred dollars in
doctors and medicines l was so far
gone at one time a report went around
that I was dead. l gave up hope, but
a friend told me of DR.. Wm. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. l laughed at
my friends, thinking that my case was
incurable, but 1 got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and gratif-
cation, 1 commenced to feel better.
My hope, once dead, began TO revive,
and to-day l feel in better spirits than
l have the past three years.
81 write this hoping you will publish
it, so that every one afflicted with Dis
eased Lungs will be induced to take
DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption
can be cured. 1 have taken two bot
ties, and can positively say that it has
done more good than all the other
medicines 1 have taken since my sick
ness. My cough has almost entirely
disappeared, and Ishall soon be able to
60 to work" Sold by druggists.

THE public can regard with no other
feeling than satisfaction the correspon-
dence now being carried on between
George William Curtis and Jay. A.
Hubbell, chairman of the Congressional
committee, with respect to political
assessments. 1t may be assured that
whatever can be said in favor Of this
system of raising funds for his party
will be set forth by that active congress
man. No better informed or more
capable writer, on the other hand, could
appear on behalf of the civil service re-
form association than Mr.. Curtis.
However wide of the mark his recon-
mendations for reform may be, his sum
mary OF facts are sure not to be to the
taste of practical statesmen" MI.
Curtis resort to the courts, before
which he has caused a test case to be
brought, will cause a general discussion
of the question whether the incumbent
OF a political office shall be obliged to
give q part of his salary to support the
party that gave him office. Whether
the courts will settle it to the s~atisfac-
tion of politicians in office who wish to
continue there, is another question.

in New York" Every animal showing
any evidence of suffering from tight
checking is stopped, no matter where
found, and the driver is required to
remedy the evil there and then. If he
refuses he is arrested.

lean pleasure seekers have the good
sense to determine to see something Of

more of their attention is claimed by

White Mountains, Long Branch, Sara
