ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

night delivered the fifth Of his lectures on
women, which have awakened such angry
discussion. He inveighs bitterly against
the evils of the divorce system, and espec-
tally in New England. He said divorces
occurred one to every IA marriages. The
practical result of this facility of divorce
is that in the New England States alone
1000 families are broken up every year
AM. 1900 persons divorced. While the
laws protecting marriage have been thu
gradually weakened and facilities for di-
vorce extended, crimes against chastity,
morality aud decency have been steadily
increasing. In Massachusetts in 10 years
divorces have increased two and one-half
time, while the marriages increased hardly
four per cent, and while all the convictions
for crime have increased hardly one-f fifth,
those known as being against chastity,
morality and deceney, filthy crime, loath-
some, infamous and nameless crimes have
increased three fold. In Maine a divorce
il granted by any Justice of the Supreme
Court whenever in the exercise of sound
discretion he deems it reasonable and
o conducive to domestic harmony,
and consistent with the peace and morality
of society. When one marriage may be
lightly set aside and another entered into
we shall have reached the condition of the
Mormon, with this sole difference, that
his polygamy is simultaneous and ours is
consecutive.
Apropos OF Dix's lecture, the following
ia in the Tribune this morning regarding
the Sprague marriage: 1t was said yester-
day that the Ex-Governor might find it
inconvenient to pay alimony to his former
wife and help to support the children, as
he may yet be compelled to do, and at the
same time support another family. He
was not granted a divorce from Mrs.
Sprague, and according to the general
understanding of the law of divorce he had
no right to marry again. But the recent
decisions of the Court of Appeals in this
and other States, the laws Of which are
similar to those of Rhode Island, have
given a legal status to such marriages as
| that Of Sprsgue to Mrs. Calvert.
1t is stated that Trenor W. Parke, who
died intestate, left q 50, 500, 900 estate.
