DIVORCE, THE SIN OF THE AGE.

The Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix, of New York
city, in his sixth Lenten lecture, delivered
at Trinity chapel, spoke of Divorce, char
acterizing it as the sin of the age, the one
evil that strikes at the very corner stone of
civilization-the home. The speaker said
he was at loss for remarks ADEQUATE to
state the kind and degree of this social
the danger, for we all know that an evil
may gain such Roadway that to stop it is
beyond human strength. As an ilIustra-
ton he said: ''This chapel has in its base
ment five furnace registers, one at each
corner and one at the center; if, now, by
some magIcian's art sulphurous flames
should be made to pour out of these,where-
of this whole congregation should Ian
guish and die, no worse harm would be
done to them than that which is now done
to society by the loose and easy way of
divorce, which dries up from the roots love
of chastity, virtue and honor"
The Bishop of Connecticut, Rev. DR..
Williams, in his convention address of 1881.
said that in 1873 there were in
Maine AIS couples divorced; in New
Hampshire 241; in Vermont 1877; in Mas
sachusetts 600; in Connecticut 4O1: in
Rhode Island 1876; total for all the New
England states together of two thousand
one hundred and thirteen. This ratio was
larger in proportion to the population,
than the ratio in France after the DAYS of
the revolution.
On the basis of the census of 1880 there
was in Maine one divorce to every 1887 of
the populations; one to every 1,439 in New
Hampshire; one to every 1857 in Yer
mont; one to every 1871 in Massachusetts, !;
one to every 1853 in Connecticut; one to
every 1,411 in Rhode Island.
In 1868 the New England Divorce Re-
form league was instituted, and the
Legislatures have been petitioned and ap-
pealed to, to assist in checking the plague,
but in vain. Rev. S. r. Dyke, secretary of
the league in lecture at New Haven, last
Saturday evening, said that in 1849 there
were but ninety-one divorces in Connect
cut, and now the annual average is four
hundred and forty. In 1860 in Massachu-
sets there were five causes for which di-
vorce could be obtained, and a ratio of one
divorce to fifty-one marriages; in 1873 the
number of causes had grown to nine, and
the ratio, to one divorce to every twenty
one marriages. The other New England
states have even worse and
more disgIacsful record. The
ratio in Vermont is found to be
one divorce to fourteen marriages, Rhode
Island one to twelve, Connecticut one to
eleven, New Hampshire about the same
ratio, and Maine a greater ratio. But
these statistics are in a sense fictitious, as,
in order to arrive at the correct conclusion,
the Roman Catholic marriages, from which
divorce is not obtainable, should be sepa
rated from the Protestant or non Catholic
marriages, and this done the ratio runs
up, as in Massachusetts, one divorce to
fourteen marriages, and in Connecticut
one divorce to eight marriages, and vet

however, that this society was in any way

II is gratifying to have DR.. Loring of
the government bureau of agriculture, de-
vote himself to the thorough looking up of

which America feeds the world. We had

the tea shrub to colonize on the Southern
cotton lands, under his predecessor. DR..
Loring is practical farmer and is skilled
in agriculture and cattle raising. The

not dispute that there may be men of this high

The course of Judge Cowing, of the New
York city criminal court, in passing long
sentences upon incorrigible, old offenders
brought before him is the introduction of
a new policy in regard to criminals. Sen
fences for ten, fifteen, eighteen and twenty
years in his court are frequent, although
for the longest periods possible permitted
by law. Judge Cowing says there is no
opportunity for expectation of the recla-
nation of such persons, and he thinks it
his duty to protect society by shutting
them up, and doubtless he is quite right.
Community is relieved of members of a
dangerous class, and others are deferred
from crime by the certain knowledge of
the penalty in store for them.

A colored barber named James McCul-
loch became suddenly impressed with the
idea that he had committed murder in
Minneapolis two years ago. On Thursday
McCulloch received letter informing him
of the dangerous illness of his sister which
is thought to have caused his present
distracted state. After the close of the
performance at the Opera house Thursday
evening he surrendered himself to the
police giving as the reason the statement
above noted. Yesterday he was taken to
visit his sister, the supposition being that
the trip would tend to quiet his distracted
brain. McCulloch has worked in this city
somewhat over two years and as far as is
known has conducted himself properly.
There may possibly be something beside
the letter to cause his sudden alteration of
mind.

A Heavy Combination.

ST. LOUIS, March 16.-The Age of Steel
Tomorrow will publish the following,
which item refers to matter entirely new
to the iron trade of the North. During
the past two weeks a combination has been
formed in the South, composed of all the
coke and iron furnaces in the states of
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia, with
the exception of the Oakdale, Tenn, fur
mace, to be known as the Southern
Coke association. The object of the
association is to obtain and nam
tain uniform scale of prices, and prevent
indiscriminate competition and trickery
of all kinds. The uniform scale of prices
has been agreed upon, and the agents are
required to strictly abide thereby, allow
ing concessions to no one, no matter how
large his order for iron may be. 1t places
all the brands of iron on the same plat
form, so that the furnace making an iron
of low grade will get
the same price as for the high,
that is if they sell any. The advantages
will be seen 20 be on the side of the maker
of better brands, while the other man will
have to work hard to make sales at all.
The scale agreed upon is not above the
prices which have been ruling lately, sx-
cept on few grades, aud they are all on
the basis of fixed price at the furnace,
adding transportation.

NOTFORJOHN.

feeler is thrown out regarding the plac-
ing of John Sherman in training as a
presidential candidate in 1884. Members
of the legislature, it is said, propose the
nom ination of Sherman as the Republican
candidate for governor of Ohio, with the
view that from this fact he will grow into
such national prominence as to acquire
invincible lead of all other aspirants for
the Republican presidential nomination.
1t has happened in Ohio several times,
. that state nominations manipulated by
Republican legislatures, have been defeated
by the people at the polls, even VIII en-
vastly more popular candidates than
Sherman have been put In the field. There
has been no time in the last twenty years
when Sherman could have been elected to
Office by the popular vote in his state. He
has within that period been several times
talked of for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, but as he has always forbidden his
few admirers to use his name, he has en-
joyed the credit of having craft enough to
know that sure defeat would follow such a
performance.
Sherman had dream of the presidency
in 1880, and from it perchance, he has not
fully awakened. Under the most persist
ent and frsntic use of the party lash ever
witnessed in Ohio he succeeded in get
ting a part of the delegation
from that state at Chicago. The
prominence of Ohio made his candidacy
conspicuous, though there never was mo-
ment when there was the least shadow of g
probability of his nomination, as all sa-
gacious men then knew.
