THE Massachusetts legislature has before. 1t bill transferring divorce cases to the probate courts, which has passed one house and will probably become law. The Springfield Repub- hcan advocates it with the following sensible remarks:-''The advocates of this bill arc not in favor of modifying or relaxing" the restrictions upon divorce. The fact is that the supreme court as at present occupied does not do justice to the divorce litigation. It gives 1t but hurried and summary attention. The divorce cases come in between other business; they are heard and must be disposed of in a day or two. If 8 judge is not satisfied in re- gard to any case. he has got to reject 1t entirely or postpone 1t to the next term of court many months after. A probate court has frequent sessions; it can demand evidence and the produc- tion of parties before it without unrea- sonable delay. Its local knowledge will be of service and the absence of the crowd which infests the rooms of the supreme court in the intervals of excit- ing litigation will remove morbid concomitant of the present practice. If there are any probate judges who are aot qualified to carry this additional jurisdiction they should be made to give way to others.

THE new "postal notes for sums less than S6, authorized by the last Con- gress, will be ready some time before September next The note as proposed is about as large as greenback. Atthe right hand are two columns giving the months of the year and the dates of 12 years, beginning with the present At the left hand are three columns of fig ures. One, representing dollars, is numbered up to four; the second, repre- senting dimes, is numbered up to nine; the third, representing cents, is also numbered up to nine, and each series ends with cipher. The postmaster at the office issuing the note will punch the month and the year, the number of dollars, number of dimes, and number of cents in their respective columns, thus preventing any alteration of the amount or date. By this system the postal notes can be issued for any sum from one cent up to $499. No written application will be necessary. The note will be bought like postage stamp, and will be payable to the bearer at any time within three months from the last day of the month of issue.
 The limit of single money orders is raised from $50 to S10O the following scale being adopted: Not exceeding $1O Sc; $1O to $15 10c; S15 to $50 15c :; s30 to $40 2Oc $40 to 50 25c :; $50 to $60 BOG; S60 to $70 35c }; $7O to S80 40c $80 to $1O0 45c. The reduction on sums under S10 from present money-order rates is one fifth. Sums not exceeding five dollars will be but three cents or reduction of about two thirds the present value.

A STRIKE has broken out in 8 most unusual place,-smong the farmers. They have always been the most patient and long suffering class in the commu- nity and have been content to plod and toil and earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, while others took the profits. They have seemed to realize that
 ''Theirs not to make reply,
 Theirs not to reason why,
 Theirs but to do and die"
 The strangest thing about the whole matter is that the strike should have commenced in the staid old county of Orange, whose small population is made up largely by quiet, peaceable class who do not like innovations or undue excitement. Orange county has long been famous for her butter and dairies and has been one of the chief source 8 from which the city of New York de- rived her supply of milk and cream. It is in the milk business as in almost every other, those who do the most work get the least pay. The farmer received three cents quart for his milk while the middleman received from eight to ten cents per quart, including the water and chalk added. The farmers demand ed half cent per quart more, which was refused with contempt, and hence the strike. The war has extended into New Jersey, Long Island and up the Housatonic valley. There has been no blood spilled as yet, but good deal of milk. This may seem foolish and unjustifiable waste of property, but in war the end very often justifies the means. Public sentiment in this fight is, as it ought to be, with the producers. The milk dealers of New York have for long time had everything their own way and have not only dictated their own prices to the producers but to the consumers as well, and it was not very often that 8 reduction in the price allowed the producers lessened the price exacted from the consumers. It was the old game, "heads I win, tails you lose." The strike will have ten dency to produce one good effect, if nothing more. It will teach farmers the lesson which they do not seem heretofore to have fully realized, that in union there is strength, and that if they don't look out for their own inter- ests nobody else will. It will teach them the benefit of organi zation and effort and the farmers of Orange county, if they accomplish nothing more than to awaken sense of the importance of this matter, will be sntitled to the gratitude of the farmers the country.

WILD CLAIMS Steps have been
taken by reputable citizens Of Pitts
burSh and elsewhere, towards pros
ecuting a claim of immense value.
The property involved is that upon
which stands the United States Cap
itol, tho White House, tho Treasury
and other Government and private
buildings in Washington and George
town, covering 4S1 acres in the Dis
trict of Columbia, besides 100 acres
in Bladenburg. Nd. 500 acres in
Washington county, Penn, and a
treasure in the Bank of England.
The money value of this estate can
hardly be estimated. 1t seems hardly
creditable that such claim could be
made by sensible people. But it is
nevertheless true. The claimants are
descendants of Blademore. a sottler
of colonial times. Tho late Mayor
Blademore of Pittsburgh was. it is
claimed. his great grandson. After
the Mayors death, which occurred
about eight years ago. the United
States Court made an order in the
Blademore bankruptcy proceedings
giving an allowance to the assignee
for the purpose of presenting the
claim of the Blademore heirs in the
vast estate.

with all her columns, towers and
churches. which helps little, SO we
must take London also. Vienna must
go III, too. and not to disturb the
peace. st. Petersburg follows next.
All this stuff lies at the bottom. We
begin now to take up all the cities,
towns, villages, forts, farms, every
thing that human hands have built
in Europe, and all the ships floating
on the sea. IL helps nothing! We
must go to old and new worlds. throw
in the pyramids of Egypt, and tho
railroads and factories of America,
and everything elso made by man in
Asia, Africa, Australia and America
10. our box is not half full yet
We will shake up the things 4 little
to make them even, and as we are
bound to fill the box, let us soc
whether we cannot fill it with the peo-
pie and lay them in like herrings
One row will require 10000 and 1000
rows make one layer of 4S,000,000-
Just enough for North Americans
To make lis feel moro comfortable,
we will put between each layer bed
Of straw and leaves. say thirty feet
thick, which will take all the straw

Americans wc will lay 100000 of
Australians and 45,000,O00 of Asiatics,

cced until all the rest of mankind are

and it would require about fifteen
times that number of people to fill
it. What shall we do7 Animals, of
course, are still left. Take tho whole
animal creation, yet it is not full; and
all this is only one geographic cubic
