The New York Tribune recently made an exposure of the abuses of divorce, and it has received great many letters concerning the matter It says that the letters tend to show that the root of evil and the most formidable obstacle to reform Is the wide spread dsmoraIizasion of public opinion, and 1t adds: Tho most significant indication of the loss of any popular standard of right and wrong in the matter is the behavior of the clergy Nearly all the churches have de- olared themselves, more or less strongly, in support of the ssnetity of marriage; and yet there Is never 8 divorce case 50 soandalous that the guilty party cannot find clergyman to rsmarry him or her as soon as the trial is over. Some of the worst of these remar- riages have been performed lately by clergy men of the two churches-the Roman Cath olic and the Protestant Episcopal-whose laws with respect to divorce are the most striot The excuse offered by the offending ministers in these instances is ignorance of the fact-which is only another way of say ing that they took no pains to inquire. Per haps the New England association which Is making such a good fight against the mon- strous evil may as well begin by attacking the laxity of the clergy. You can hardly ex- pect society to treat union as bigsmous when 1t has been blessed by the church.

The whole number interested in the case is 150. The whole estate amounts to but $l ,50O, and per haps Mir. Miller would have been wise had he given it to the lawyers.

One thousand leading physicians of Mass- achusetts have been sent by Mrs. Liyermore circular letter asking their opinion concern ing the use of alcoholic liquors as medicine.
 Replies have been received from more than i've hundred, who may bs divided into two classes-those who do not believe In even the occasional use of alcohol, and those who seem indifferent. Some are rather impatient at the questions, but give liquors according to custom, agerring that they have made no special study in the matter. A number of the first class have not given drop in many years, 10, 20, 30, and several of note and universally regarded successful have latterly decided utterly against it's use. One, for three decades member of the leading medi- cal society of Boston, has discarded it, de- claring that he can see such line of dis ases, mental and physical. as well as moral,

This Is what he said about himself and his. ambition in recent speech: A man who has got to my time of life and who has yielded as much power as have In my life, whose name, for better or worse, will be remembered in his tory and traditions long after some of the Presidents of the United States shall have been dead and buried and forgotten, and the worms have eaten them, what should care about it (the Presidency.) am ambitious; I admit it freely. am very ambitious to go to my maker with the record that have done the best could for my State, my coun- try, and my kind, and that what did was as equally done for the poor and the lowly as for anybody else.

Of the essential qualifications, except
that be IL the husband Of one wife,
deceiyes himself. Many Of these err
rors have been brought TO light by
the over anxiety Of preachers to locate
and organize churches without having
men with the necessary qualifications
for elders and deacons. A large ms
jority Of the preachers are not more
than qualified TO make fair deacons
as to scripture knowledge, and some
learned man, DR.. Wayland. we think,
said that many a good deacon has
been spoiled by trying to make q

cation at home by which to make q

high sense in which it is taught in the
Scriptures, We think the church would
enter upon new era. This would
greatly strengthen the home govern
ment, give increased confidence in
the stability Of the cause, and assure
the outside world that our attempt to
establish, build up and maintain pr,m-
tive christianity was q reality. Such
course would command the esteem Of
all the members, unity the aims Of
the brethren, get rid Of many features
now clogging the wheels, dignify the
preachers, and give o place for that
seriptural parsonage, the evangelist.
The heavy burden Of pastor could
then be dispensed with, and all things
be done decently and in order. This
course will also simplify the finances,
and thus remove a bone OF contention
