A Chapter on Divorces.
Pail Nall Gazette.

The great increase Of divorce cases that
has been discernible Of late IL not peculiar
ity of our own insular s,ciety; nor does 1t
seem TO be due only to the fact that people
Of all classes are beginning to find out how
easy 1t is to get rid Of an unfaithful consort.
Coniugal Hdelitj Is not one Of the blessings
which are increased BY the advance Of civili-
zation, and . similar want Of harmony be-
tween husbands and wives Of the period 10
noted in all countries. N. Bertillon, the
editor of the "Annals of Demography," has
been giving lecture In which he sets forth
this fact, and number Of others, which are
certainly amusing and perhaps instructive.
For instance, he fnds that the households In
which divorces arc most common are those
where the consorts are most nearly Of the
same age. Where there 10 great disparity
Of age 1t is necessary to make acomplsts dis
tinction between cases whore tbs elder party
IL the husband and where he 10 not. Old
husbands, for some reason or other, seem to
be better able to retain to the affections Of
their wives, or at any rate to maintain legal
possession Of their better halves, than young
ones for, - the man 10 older In proportion
to the woman, % is he less frequently d.
vorced from her. With women It IL altogether
different, for the older they arc In prepOr-
tien TO their husbands the more likely they
are to part or be parted from them. In ma
king these comparisons, judicial separations
lin countries where divorce Is not permit
ted-ars counted q divorces. But n. Ber-
tillon finds that in countries where divorce
IL prohibited suicides from domestic trouble
and poIsonings are much more fequent than
elsewhere.

WHOLE NO. IT'S
MlssoURI,s OLDEST MANN.
An Associate OF Daniel Boone Celebrates
His 1O9th Birthday.

An Independence (Mo.) dispatch to the St.
Louis Globe Democrat says: ''This city can
doubtless boast Of the oldest man in the
State, in the person Of Christopher Mann,
who with his posterity celebrated his Tooth
birthday yesterday. Since 1S43 this aged
man has lived in this county on farm one
and half miles north Of this city, and yet
has in control the farm, experimenting Its
cultivation. In honor to the aged sire who
has so long known this county a his homo
and sustained such IN envisble reputation,
the children of him and the neighbors visited
him yesterday and surprised him most
SSiSsabTy BY their pressncs and repast
spread upon tho lawn. Mr.. Mann, though
his mind has been considered somewhat i'm
paired, fally appreciated the efforts Of his
friends to make his declining years pleas
ure to him, and his feelings were plainly
seen to be emotions Of pleasure. He was
surrounded by children, grandchildren, great.
grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren and
his loving wife, who with him has shared
call lifes joys and sorrows." He has been
married twice, and 10 the father Of 20 chill
dren, II of whom are now living, the Oldest
being p and the youngest IT. Forty grand
children, IA great-grandchildre and 5 great
great.grandcbildren claim him as their an
cestor. Four generations descending from
him were represented at the meeting yester-
day. Mr.. Mann Is enjoying good health
and apparently will enjoy many other ami.
versaries Of his birth, which occurred in
Virginia in 1774, at . time when Virginia
had not been divided into counties. In Ken
lucky he lived and was an associate Of Dan
lei Boone.

A Polygamistake
Salt Lake Tribune.


A short time ago bright-looking Danish
boy stepped into . lawyers Office aud said:

down five dollar bill. The lawyer, shak-
ing bis head, replied:
eft seems you are funny boy.".
"Not funny At all. You will find 1t very
serious matter"
swell, 60 ahead and explain it,"
"About twenty years ago wealthy Danish
lady, being widow, came over to this coun-
try with her two daughters. There was .
Norwegian and his boy. The father married
both the widows daughters. One year after
the Norwegian's boy married the wealthy
widow. The result Of that marriage was an
other boy, and II am sure, am that boy.
The Norwegians boy died. The Danish
widow was widow again, but the old Nor
wegian married her, too. After that the old
lady died, and one year ago the old gentle
man, too, after he had made himself the
owner Of his third wifs's property.
"Now, when I claimed that property my
sister said stop, you can't be the heir At
all! You are our late husbands grandchild.
BY her marriage with him you became your
mothers grandchild, too, and after she died
We became your mothers, and you never can
inherit the property before We are dead.
That's what my sister mothers say, but
think that cant be right and that there must
be some mistake in polygamy. Now, sir
please to tell me what am-who am"
The lawyer, thrusting his chin into biz
neck, answered paihetically: "You are Z

Marriage In China.

had not been ct the hotel In Hong Kong
five minutes before my attention was dis
tractsd BY terrific noise. Rushing to the
front balcony was just in time to see quite
remarkable wedding procession. Al first,
from the noise and general style Of the affair,
/ thought 1t was funeral, but i soon dis
covered the difference. First came dozen
musicians who were beating gongs and blow
ing 6sh horns, each apparently without any
references to the reat. Then followed COM
pany Of men and boys bearing Gags and Lam
terms, after which came series Of gilded
tables with slaboratsly carved and painted
cancpies over them and ell sorts Of eatablss
upon them. The display OF fruit was quite
tempting, and lonsed for slice Of the
roasted pig and the roast sheep. But there
were also native dIahes, which, BY expert
ment, had found TO be far from appetizing.
Thus far, everything was arranged just - .
funeral procession would be, and was com
posed Of the same features. But now there
was slight departure from the funeral order
Of things. There cams . magnificent sedan
chair, the windows Of which were thoroughly
curtained, but which was told contained
the happy bride. This gorgeous sedan chair
was followed BY others, also BY gayly decor
rated jinuikishss, In winch were seated the
relatives Of tho contracting parties. More
so-called musicians followed, and the pro-
cssslon wound up with load Of boxes,
which inferred contained tho marriage
offerings, and perhaps the trcusseau Of the
bride,

The Locomotive Of To-Day.

The locomotive OF to-day is giant by the
side Of the production Of 1851. The New
York Central express engine is very Anak.
Its weight is $4,000 pounds, or nearly two
and half times heavier than It's above men
toned prototype. The cylinders are 18
inches BY "A. The average mans head 10
far below the top Of the driving wheels,
which are Is inches in diameter. In 1854 .
New York express passenger locomotive
travelled 1900 miles; last year the average
mileage per engine stood between 10000 and
90, 900 miles. A locomotive for express pas
senger service costs, taking the experience
Of the last few years, from s. 800 to 700
to build. In comparing the locomotive Of
to-day and quarter Of century ago, you
will notice that while the weight Of the
whole machine has increased greatly, certain
Of the dimensions have mot altered much.
This is because we are limited In various
ways In constructing . locomotive. We can
not make the body Of the engine over GER
tain width, because Of the gauge Of The track;
not over certain height, because We must
keep the center Of gravity At about the same
position; not over certain length, because
Of the wheel centsrs; 20 the locomotive must
always remain nearly the same in form. Il
ID 70 increased capacity Of boilers that ve
must look for increase Of power. AT present
m express locomotive boiler il Of 80 horse
power; that is, II Il wers stationary engine
that would be its capacity. But when the
locomotive l. drawing train Of cars ct ave
mile an hour, tho boiler supplies the strength
Of S15 horses, and q forty-fivs miles an hour
the power expended l. equal TO that Of from
TOO to 500 horses. That's curious fact,
sp's II?

Harris, the Humorist.
Kansas City Times.

Joel G. Harris, the famous humorist OF the
Atlanta Constitution, has had strangely ro-
mantle career. His father was missionary,
and IL was at the small town of Boog hia, on
the Southern coast of Africa, that Joel was
born. He was educated by his father and
scouired 4 wonderful acquaintance with for
eIgn languages. BE is an adept sanskrit
scholar aud is deeply versed in Hebraie and
Buddhist literature. The syeetly quaint
legends OF Indian and Judean mythology
have found their way into his simple South
ern tales, and the spirit Of bis philosophy is
identical with the teachings Of Moses and
Buddha. Some years before the civil war
young Harris came to America and taught
school in village near Lake Testeelotchkss'
in Florida. While thus employed he made
the acqu sintance Of Sallis Ould Curtis, the
daughter Of wealthy planter. These two
soon fell In love with each other. Subse-
quently Harris was engaged BY Col. Curtis
rs private tutor for his children, and there
was no objection made TO the young mans
attentions to Miss Sallis, then q radiant
creature Of sixteen. The war came on; /;
Col. Curtis raised regiment with his Pri-
vats means; young Harris enlisted -
private, and was speedily promoted to cap
taincy. Not only did Col. Curtis lose all
his property by the rebellion, but In the bat
tie OF Columbia. s. G., grape shot tore his
lower limbs into shreds. To fill bis cup
of bitterness and to blight the life Of Joel
Harris forever, the beautiful Sallie ouid
Curtis died Of yellow fever the very day her
lover and crippled father returned from four
years of battling for their lost cause. Har-
ris had but one mission In life now, and that
was the support and comfort Of the MANNED
sire OF his deceased sweetheart. The two
lived together In en- UNCOVERED cottage near
Atlanta, and the love the twain bear sach
other is beautiful to contemplate. Mr.. Har-
ris is only 40 years OF age, yet his snow-white
hair tells the sorrow Of his life. Generous,
amiabls and tender, he IL fair example Of
that manly nobility which, tried by advssity
and chastened BY grief, has naught In Is Of
dross.

BETTER THAN GOLD.

Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and titles thousand fold,
Is q healthy body and q mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please,
A heart that can feel for anether's woe,
With sympathies large enough to enfold
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Tho toiling for bread in an humble sphere,
Doubly blessed with content and health,
Untried by the lusts and cares of wealth,
Lowly living and lofty thought,
Adorn aud ennoble poor mans cot,
For mind and morals in natures plan
Are the geuine tests Of gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
or the sons Of toll when the labors close.
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on his slumbers
deep
Bring sleeping draughts on the downy bed,
Where luxury pillows its aching head.
The toiler simple opiate deems
A shorter route to the land OF dreams.
Better than gold IL a thinking mind,
That in the realm Of books can find
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great and good Of yore,
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The glories of empires passed away;
The worlds great dream will thus unfold
And yield treasure better than, gold.
Better than gold Is a peaceful home,
Where all the fircside characters come,
The shrine OF love, the heaven Of life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife,
However humble the home may be,
Or tried by sorrow with heavens decree,
The blessings that never were bought or sold,
And centre there. are better than gold.

ELLA WHEELER-MAY, 1884.

A red, red rose within a garden grew,
And spread Its thousand perfumes on the
air
BY sunbeams fed, and watered by the dew,
This fragrant rose of deep, impassioned hue
Held regal sway among the posies there.
Wearied at length by Flatterys droning voice
Unto an oak this blood-red blossom cried:
"1f /, o Oak, IL were but thy choice,
How would my tired, world-sick heart re-
joice
To nestle in the shadows by thy side"
Then bowed the oak his grand majestic
head
Not to the breeze, but to the glowing maid,
And in the language Of the rustic woodland
said:
"Thou art my love, o rose, so warm and red,
Come nestle here meath my protecting
shade"
The red rose blossoms by the oak trees
side,
And, blushing still, enraptures all the
shade
The oak in tenderness protects his bride,
And perfumes, as Of Eden, far and wide
Bespeak the glory Of that quiet glade.

The Character OF Lincoln.
From Blaine's Book.

"Mr. Lincoln" he says, twas calm and
philosophic. He loved the truth for the
truths sake. Hs would not argue from .
false premise, or be deceived himself or de-
ceive others by false conclusion. He had
pondered deeply on the issues which aroused
him to action. He had given anxious
thought to the problems Of free government
and 10 the destiny Of the Republic. He had
for himself marked out path Of duty, and
he walked in 1t fearlessly. His mental pro-
csssss were slower, but moro profound, than
those Of Douglas. He did not seek to say
merely the thing which was best for that
days debate, but the thing which would
stand the test of time and square 1t with eter-
nal justice. He wished nothing to appear
white unless 1t was white. His logic was
severe and faultless. He did not resort to
fallacy, and could detect 1t in his opponent,
and expose 1t with merciless directness. He
had an abounding sense of humor, and al
ways employed it in illustration Of his argu-
ment-never for the mere sake Of promoting
merriment. In this respect he had the won
derful aptnsss of franklin. He often taught
8 great truth with the felicitous brevity Of IN
Esop fable. His words did not flow with an
impstuous torrent as did those of Douglas,
but they were always we'll chosen, dellber-
ate and conclusive.
"Mr. Lincoln united firmness and gentle
ness in singular degree. He rarely spoke
harsh word. Ready to hear argument and
always open TO conviction, he adhered tenac.
iously to the conclusions he had finally
reached. Altogether modest, he had conn.
dencs in himself, trusted to the reasoning Of
his own mind, believed in the correctness OF
his own judgment. Many Of the popular
conceptions concerning him are erroneous.
No man was further than hs from the easy,
familiar, jocose character In which he Ii SO
often painted. While he paid little atten-
tion to forms or ceremony, he was not man
with whom liberties could be taken. There
was but one person in Illinois, outside Of his
own household, who ventured to address
