"whom God Hath Joined y


1 took up daily paper one day and saw
nineteen divorces in it. took up another
and saw five. went to certain church and
found there in full communion a woman who
has two husbands. 1 visited the house of "a
leading member" in leading church and
found there a minister who has divorced one
wife Ia yirtuous woman) and is married to
another. I know a minister who married
doctor to a woman for whom he had divorced
his excellent wife This was in Clinton,
Conn. Time would fail me to particularize
the cases of this sort that know, and
live among the best people that there
are in this world. These cases are as plenty
everywhere as they are about me-indeed,
much more so in many localities. friend
writes me from California that it is hardly
safe to say divorce" so many of the very
incest people, have two or three husbands or
wives living. Now, is not this an encourag-
ing state of thingss Is it any wonder that
some ministers are telling US how fast the
sorld is growing better, how the very mil
lenium is upon us 1t is to be feared We can
hardly exert Just the moral influence that il
needed over the Mormons till the States are
reformed. Professor Austin Phelps says

our laws of divorce and our federation of the
social evil we are doing more to corrupt the
nations heart than Mormonism, tenfold"

trying the experiment in Vienna of trans
hitting the sound of his orchestra by means
of the telephone, and writes on the subject
to Vienna journal in the following terms:
"Ihe experiment was brilliantly and surpris-
ingly successful Four microphones, of
Aders system, were employed. Eight tele-
phones were placed at considerable distance
from the orchestra, in the same house;
which distance, however, was artihcially
heightened, by means of cables, to four
German miles The tone of the whole Or
chestra was surprising; thewind instruments,
it is true, dominate; and even stringed or
chestra sounds like a military bend. The
flute and clarionet, however, keep their tone
and character unchanged. The harp alone
sounds almost like piano, and the side drum
shriller than is possible in nature. The voice
retains its full quality of tone" Herr
Strauss intends to give the public an oppor-
tunitY of taking part IN these telephone con-
certs.
The State Charities Association of New
York has been preparing for an excellent ed
vocational work, and it is announced that In
struction concerning giving first aid to the
injured" will soon be begun. The lectures,
which are to form the chief feature Of the
earlier stages of the movement, only wait the
publication of the pupils handbook to be
opened and continued with regularity. The
executive committee has been organized, a
corps of volunteer physicians has been Sc
cured, and the free classes established in
seventeen different sections of New York
city and will embrace the various branches
of instruction to males and females. The
schedule of lecture subjects has been mapped
out to include such practical matters as the
application of bandages, the various means
of extenporary arrest of arterial, venous'
and capillary bleeding, the discovery of the
symptoms of fracture, and the application of
splints and similar apparatus. 1t is also ar
ranged to instruct pupils SO that they can be
of service in cases of the sudden physical col
lapse of persons who are inebriated, apoplec-
tic, epileptic, or fainting, or who have been
bitten by rabid animal, and further, SO that
they may be able to render immediate aid to
those who are apparently drowned or suffo-
eating from other cause, and to relieve burns
and scalds and the effects of poison, SUM-
stroke, and frozen limbs. The work of tram
ing females for the duties of nursing the in
iured has also been sensibly and comprehen-
sively arranged. In short, everything ap-
pears to be in readiness to insure the success
of this new and commendable field of phil
anthropic enterprise

When what an Englishman thinks are his
rights are infringed upon he is apt to earn
estly and persistently defend them. Two
gentlemen in London were recently sum-
moned to answer for refusing to allow their
railroad tickets to be punched at the entrance
to trains. In each case the defendant seems
to have been under the apprehension that the
ticket was his own private property until he
had completed his journey, and that although
he could be called upon to show it, he yet
could not be legally asked to hand it over
that it might be punched and handed back to
him. One of the two defendants, who is
stated to be a barrister, argued this point
with considerable persistence, but failed to
satisfy the Lord Mayor, who gave rough
and ready judgment that there could.be no
reasonable objection to the punching of a
ticket, and that the defendant had no right
to resist such regulation and to assault the
railroad officials who were charged with car
rying it out.

1t is now believed that ''xerotine sicca-
tive, " and not Fenians, caused the explosion
by which the British ship Doterel was de-
stroyed and nearly $50 lives lost. ''Xerotine
siccative" is patent dryer. 1t is chemically
something of the same nature as paraffine, or
kerosene, or other mineral oils, and has the
characteristic of evaporating easily, which
renders it peculiarly suitable for drying pur-
poses. Like parafine, however, it possesses
highly infammable qualities, and the moment
of ignition is also the moment of explosion.
1t is known that the Doterel carried q guam
tity of this dangerous substance in her paint
room, which was next to her powder maya
zine. The theory is that some of it leaked
out from the vessels containing it, and be-
coming ignited, fired the gunpowder. Tho
recent explosion on board the British ship
Triumph is also believed to have been caused
by ''xerotine siccative."

A monument is to be erected at Batavia,
New York, to the memory of William Nor
gan, who published book some fifty years
ago purporting to expose the secrets of Ma
sonry, and afterwards disappeared. The
cost of the proposed monument is estimated
at two thousand dollars, and nearly the whole
sum required has been raised by subscrip-
ton, the largest single contribution coming
from lady in Boston, who gives five hun
bred dollars. 1t is intended that the monu-
ment shall be unveiled in September, on the
anniversary of Morgan's abduction, and
Thurlow Weed is invited to speak on the oc-
casion. This, quietly remarks the Worcester
Spy, will be almost the only monument erect
ed of late years of which the corner stone is
not laid with Masonic ceremonies.
