DIVORCE AND MARRIAGE.
THE SUBJECT FURTHER DISCUSSED.
COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS FROM VARIOUS
soURCFs-pR. HALLS VIEWS.

The newspapers and letters which are received oy
THE TRIBUNE show that pubic interest in the
questions growing out OF the Iaxlty OF the marriage
laws of this and other States and the evil of easy d-
vorce is rapidly increasing. Every day brings con-
trbutions to the discussion. The views of the Rev.
DIR. Armitage are presented to-day, together with
other interesting matter bearing on the subject. Ut.
John Hall, from whom TRIBUNE reporter requested
an expression, said that occupation with the meet
ings of the Synod of New-York would prevent hlm
speaking at any length He added briefly that he
was in favor of uniform legislation as to marriage
over the entire country, with proper system OF
registration" This would prcpaCe for legislation
on the divorce question.

agrees with other utrIanccs OF his during the year.
But the Colonel Warning Of to-day Is not the Colonel
Warning of yesterday It Is about two years since he
yos completing a series Of experiments on this very
onc.tion Of trap ventilation and espionage for the
national Board of Health. The conclusion which he
then reached differing In very important respect from
that of The Archec article, At variance with the re-
cciycd opinion and threatened to embarass the work Of
health officers who ntustrd with the enforcing Of

10 have the experiments repeated This was done by
Acssr, Philbrick and BOwditch of Boston, whose cX-
bausyc experiments and report generally coDsld-

the direct opposite OF Colonel Warnings that in all oId
naryIcondons the ventilation Of traps affords perfect
security and the only security Colonel waring himself

and alarm in all parts Of the country. Bat note the

Thus trap ventilation IL Is not Colonel Warng against
