HIS VIEWS ON DVoRCE.-Rav. DIR. 1. E
Dwinell, formerly of this city. writing in the
Pacific, remarks that tire facility with which
divorced persons can be remarked to other
parties is one Of the causes which leads to the
lamentable frequency of divorces in our coun-
try: Not only are there many persons who
are willing to enter into wedlock with the
guilty parties even, in such sepsrstions-re.
garding their previous marriage aud their
guilt in being the cause of the termination of
it as no serious objection-but there are many
ministers and officers of the law authorized to
perform marriage ceremonies, who marry all
who come to them for their services, not stop.
ping to inquire whether they were properly
divorced and morally free to enter again into
wedlock. II those who officiste had more
conscience on this point, and would refuse to
remarry those who had been legally separated
for any cause that is less than an absolute
sunoering of the internal marriage tie bind
ing the parties together, making true welded
life ever after an impossibility, the way out
of marriage, to those in whom the internal
bond is Tot dissolved, would not look so broad
and inviting"
AFTER SIXTEEN YEARs.-Sixteen years
ago two young men, fresh from an Eastern
college, started west and brought up 10
Omaha. After wrestling with different kinds
of labor, with Indifferent success, one became
broke and sighed for his Eastern home. The
other got together $50, gave it to him, and
the homesick boy left for New England. The
other after time, took Horace Greeley's
advice, brcueh. up in California, and to-day
ranks among the frat of Sscramento's mer-
chants. The two while at school were ike
David and Jonathan, Damon and Pythias,
or Siamese twins, but after their separation
were lost to one another until about two
weeks since. when the Sacramento friend, in
glancing over a Boston paper, saw the name
Of his long lost schoolmate enrolled among
those Of the honored judges of that common
wealth He dropped him postal card, re-
minded him Of the Omaha separation, and
of the $50 shat had been gathered together by
the aid Of an Uncle Isaac. The return mail
brought laHgthy reply feom the Boston
judge, with SIS inclosed, and saying if that
was not sstisf -ctary the amount would be
duplicated.
METROPOLITAN THEATER.-" La Belle
Russo, under the spell with which Jeffreys-
Lewis invests it, drew a good house last even
ing-an audience thoroughly well pleased,
and that manifested its appreciation of the
rare coinage of art by an enthusiastic double
call of the lady before the curtain, giving
also due share Of the special compliment to
Messrs Mestayer aud GIismer. The engage
ment closes tonight with the play Of I" For
get Me Not" in which Miss Lewis stands
without an equal The zane piece will be
played at the matinee performance this after
no5n. Manager Simmons, recognizing the
justice of the demand for absolute quiet in
the outer lobby, has posted a large placard
prohibiting loud talking in that section of the
house, and directing the doorkeepers to en-
force the same, a measure to the support OF
which the public will contribute its aid if
needed.
