Of high doings Of this sort, and who
murmur at the damage done by the
hounds and horses Of the nobility and
gentry, and who oriticise tie profuse
ostentatlon Of the paryenus oil New
port, forget that we are now livIrg
in revival Of the manners Of Queen

knows anything Of the social history

century knows that the aristocracy
and nobility Of this favored land are
faithfully reproducing the social
traits Of those times intensified and
heightened as they should be by a

1nittcc Of the Episcopal Church makes
report frightful to Contemplate. The
concluding passage indicates that SO.
cicty is rotting out in that great West
crn State. Hear this:
Since 1867, fifteen years ago, tho numbc,
OF divorces las doubled itself, while the
population has probably not gained more
than 15 per cent. The suits before tho
courts in 1882 were twice as many as IN
1871, their number in the former year he.
ing over 1900. For every divorce suit
brought there were but six MARRIAGES in
1882 In Hamilton county there is
an average of over ono petition day. AT
the present rate there will soon be as many
persons applying for legal separation as
apply Tor marriage licenses. We cannot
put that time of farther than 1890. In
twenty years there will be as many divorce,
as marriages. After that time the numbc,
OF families in Ohio will be diminished y,
divorce at greater rate than it is Increased
