MARRIAGE AND DIvORCE.-Last week
the Maine Methodist Conference passed
resolutions against the granting and OBJ
tanning of divorces " for any othrr causes
than that specified by our Lord" They
declare that it is wrong for minister to
marry couple when there is suspicion of
either of the parties having been divorced
for any ether reason than breach of the
seventh commandment; and they urged
ministers to preach on the subject at least
once year. Finally they appointed the
three Methodist pastors stationed at Port
land as a committee to further endeavor
TO bring about a change in the State laws
touching marriage and divorce in accor-
dance with their views. Similar senti-
ments have been expressed by other re-
ligiOus denominations of New England ;
just as the Roman Catholic Church has
always stoutly and even liercely opposed
the treatment of marriage as a mere legal
contract, which may be set aside for vari-
GUS causes, as the State shall specify.

y FLoURIsHING BUsINEss.-Som idea
of the vastness of the life insurance busi-
ness IN this State may be gathered from
the annual report Of the Insurance Super
intendent for 1881. From this it appears
that policies issued to citizens or residents
of the State numbered II ,0S6, insuring
$333, 766,S77. On December 81, 1881. there
were in force on New York lives ia ,7333J
policies, representing insural amounting
to 1924, ,434 ,755. The premiums received
aggregate $l0,S07 BOO, and the losses pald
So, ,446, ,237. These amounts were divided
among twenty-nine companies. The
amount Of losses paid against the pre-
miums does not apparently show very
large profit, but 1t is evident from the
handsome buildings occupied by many of
the companies and the large salaries paid
to officers that there must be another and
exceedingly profitable source of revenue.
This is doubtless to he found in the saga
elous manipulation of the funds entrusted
to the different companies, the loans on
bonds and mortgages, for instance, bring
ing III handsome profit. In fact, the
business of the insurance companies is not
altogether Insurance, and so much depends
upon the business sagacity of the officers
that the stockholders can afford to paw
good salaries to the men who will improve
their capital.-N Y. Press.

A Better Naval Administration.

The attcmp; to secure Il large appropriate
ton for thc navy has served to bring out
some facts that show that we are moi
ready for Il large outlay in that direction.
One is that immense sinns have ll.n tX-
p. ndcd on existing VtssI!> t,3,n the pOur-
ct possible results. In the mere matter
ol repairs of machinery more has been rx-
pended on certain vessels than the first
cost of engines and boifcHs. and that was
eXtravagaht. And iii twenty years we
nave expended more on our navy than
has Italy i'll the same time. Yet she has
an effective navy and we have comaara-
lively nothing. Secretary R0bcson alone
expended nearly five hundred millions in
current expenses and rcbuildings during
his administration OF nearly eight years.
Yet he left the navy little. if any, better
than he found it. Th re were some well
executed contracts for the navy at nrivat,
ehlp-yards, as in the case ot the Cramps
O, Philadelphia. but as a rule the govern
lHriit WAS badly ,Windlcd and after pavi. O
Val "unl., r,,,Ivrd lAc poorest kind
work. This has been attributed to til,
rotten bureau system prevailing i'll tn,
navy. Extravaganza and incnciency,
not absolute corruption, is believed to
have prevailed in it. AS II result of all
this, worthless vessels, weak and useless
machinery and the merest frauds of service
were imposed on the government. Char
ges of corruption were freely made and
for long time 4 committee of Congress
had the department under investigation ;
but by some means or other the results
were stitled. Such is the general record
of our navy.

of each hour the cuckoo announces the
fact, and Immediately Garfield appears on

from truck wagon, and as he fires at the
President the latter falls. Just then Il
train of cars comes dashing in, and in the
confusion all the principal actors are car

the train dispatcher has given the signal
and the train has gone, small door at
the left opens and GuitcaM appears on the

When Dignity Works All Right.

Col. Ingersoll said at Omaha the other
day that he hated 4 digniiied man and
that he never knew one who had a par
ticle of sense; that such men never
learned and were constantly forgetting
something.
Josh Billings says that gravity is no
more the sign of mental strength than
q paper collar is the evidence OF u shirt.
This leads us to say that the man
who ranks as a dignilied snoozer and
banks on winning wealth and death
less name through this one source OF
strength, is in the most unenvlable posi-
ton of any one we know. Dignity does
not draw. 1t answers in place of intel
lectual tone for twenty minutes but
after awhile it fails to oct there. Dignl-
ty works all right in wooden Indian
or drum major but the man who de
sires to draw Il salary through life ana
to be sure of visible means OF support
will do well, to make some other pro-
visions than q naughty look and the air
of patronage. Col. lngcrsoll may be
wrong in the matter of future punish
ment but his head is pretty level on the
dignity question. Dignity works all
riGht with q man who is WORTH million
dollars and has some doubts about his
suspendars, but with the man who is to
get large sum of money before he dies
and ret married and accomplish some
good, must place himself before his fel-
low men in the attitude of one who has
ideas that are not too lonely and iSolat-
ed.
Letus therefore aim higher than simply
to appear cold and auSterc. Let MS study
to aid in the advancement of humanity
and the increase of baled information
Let us struggle to advance and improve
the world, even though in doing so we
may get into ungraceful positions, and
at times look otherwise than pretty.
Thus we shall get over the ground, and
though we may do it in the eccentric
STYLE of the camel, we will get there, as
we said before, and we will have camp
ed and eaten our supper while the
graceful and dignitied pedestrian fingers

Succession of Forest Growths.


Mr.. Robert Douglas, the great West
ern nurseryman, gives, in a brief letter
to the Gardeners Monthlu. some inter-
esting facts concerning the succession of
forest growths-the result of years of
observation. When the forests are cut
down and the fires are kept out, they in
the main reproduce the same species.
But if q settlement is formed and cattle
are allowed to run in the cut-down
woods, the seedlings are destroyed as
they appear In burned forest every
thing is changed; all vegetation is swept
away. Even the soil is changed, and
its surface, if thin, is destroyed.
After forest fire the first tree that
makes its appearance is the aspen
(Populus h'emulotdeS), 4 tree which nat
urally grows on moist lands, where its
roots have the best chance TO escape
from the general destruction. Accord
ing to Mr.. Douglass, this tree predomi-
mates in burned forests in Colorado,
Wyoming. Dakota, the Black Hills,
Minnesota, Manitoba, Wisconsin and
Northern Michigan. In Wisconsin and
the Black Hills it is mixed with the
white birch, and occasionally, az in
Northeastern Wisconsin, the white birch
is the chief tree Both the trees and
seeds of conifers are usually destroyed
by fire, except sometimes HRus Bank
stdna in Northern Wisconsin, and PinuS
cont0rta at high attitudes in the Rocky
Mountains. The cones of these two
pines are very hard, and that fact may
account for their preservation. Next TO
the aspen and white birch those trees
and shrubs spring up over burned dis
tricts which bear seeds that are either
blown to great distances, remain long
in dormant state in the ground or are
carried by birds. Where the burned
forests consisted of oaks and pines adj
joining, or partly intermingled, the
oaks will be found after fire crowding
upon the pine lands. This is due in part
to the fact that oaks renew themselves
from the stumps, which pines do not,
and that acorns are often buried by
squirrels in spots favorable to their
speedy growth.
Mr.. Douglas raises n warning voice
against the wanton destruction caused
by forest fires, and thinks the time has
come when some method should be
adopted to prevent their frequency and
extent. individuals like myself. he
ar.-. IAN u..| u.p.o.a. ..t IN. lr,u u"-
les, to prevent sucn Wamlun reckless
ness; but the public press should arouse
the people, the State Governments, or
the national Legislature to see that
some plan is adopted to check this ter
rible waste.
