was that on the present occasion he did
not trouble to make prolonged search

would turn up again unexpectedly some
day or other. He contented himself

daughter had just given him. and lock-

that's all-at least, not till come across
the one I've mislaid."
The cunning old man was so pleased
at being able to conceal from his daugh-
ter this conspicuous instance of senile
weakness that he almost forgot his re-
cent disappointment, and he returned to
the morning-room in better humor.
His entrance interrupted conversation
between Miss Prothero and the butler,
and had old Sam been quicker at hearing
he would have caught the closing re-
mark of his daug hter, which was as
follows:
"You were quite right to speak to me
about it, Newton. If it had been one of
the maids she would have had no busi-
ness in your masters study last night, as
you say, especially after every one else
was in bed; but the truth is that it was I
whom you caught sight of on the stairs.
I-I-came down to the study to fetch
something. But you need not mention
this to your master. / would rather he
knew nothing about it."

FREE AND EASY DIvoRdE.-As an IL
lustration of the beauty and looseness of
the divorce laws of some States, it has
lately transpired that resident of a
neighboring city obtained an absolute
divorce from second wife on Taurs-
day of one week, and on Tuesday of the
next week attended the funeral of his
wife, from whom he had also been di-
vorced, and on the Wednesday following
married third wife-and all these
events occurred within seven days, and
within the past month. According to
the Suffolk county records there is q
lady residing in town not over five
miles from Boston who is now seeking a
divorce from her fifth husband. She is
a handsome milliner, and not over 80
years of age. The ministers in the State
are going to move on the next legislature
and see if they can have something done
III the direction of modifying the divorce
laws of the State. People here used to
say some hard things about the divorce
laws of Indiana, but there is no need OF
that now.

Be II enacted By The Senate and House of Repre-
sentdtiucs Of The United Stats Of America sn Con-
gress assembled, that the Commissioner Of Agr-
culture shall establish in each OF the several
States not less than one agricultural station and
farm tor the purpose of making Investigations
and experiments connected with the nutrition
and growth OF plants and animals useful 10 agri-
culture, and for testing the value and quality of
commercial fertilizers. food materials, and seeds,
ana for the Introduction and acclimation of new
plants, trees and vegetables

IS hereby authorized to purchase for the United
States land, not exceeding in any one State two
hundred acres, and TO erect thereon the buildings

everal States as follows:

BY this apportionment the North will
gain twenty Representatives and lose
three, making net gain of seventeen,
while the South will gain fifteen and lose
none. New England loses three and
gains one, making a net loss of two.
Classifying the States politically, accord
ing TO the electoral vote of 1850, the Her
AID says the net gain to the Republican
States is fifteen and to the Democratic
seventeen. This would increase the Dem
Ocratic electoral vote seventeen and the
Republican fifteen, whenever the States
would 60 as they did in 1880. In this
classification California appears in the
Democratic and New York in the Repub-
lican column; but while the chances in
each are favorable to the Republicans
neither State can be claimed positively by
either party. California went Republi-
can in 1868, 1872 and 1876, and even in
1880 gave one of its six electoral votes to
Garfield In the last four Presidential
elections New York has been carried al
ternately by the Democrats and the Re
publicans. While the States Democratic
in 1880 will gain seventeen Representa-
tives and the Republican States fifteen by
the proposed superintendent it does not
follow that there will be the same relative
gain in Republican and Democratic Con-

affected by the redistricting Of the States
and other local circumstances. On the
whole three hundred and twenty five
seems to be about as fair a basis of appor-
tionment as is likely to be adopted.
The bill as passed by the House will
undoubtedly become law, as the proper
committee of the Senate has unanimously
recommended its adoption by that body.
