Matrimonial Decay.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
There are probably manyintuences working to-
gether to cause this diminution in marriages but
the strongest is the growing tendency to cxtrav-
agance and luxurious and OstentatiOus living in
all classes OF society. Ohio may fairly be &C
cepted as typical American state, and there
are no local causes which would affect Ohioans
which Would not be felt generally in an equal
degree In other parts OF the Union. 1t may
fairly be presumed that similar census Of
marriages in the whole of the United States
would show an aggregate falling OFT OF late
years proportonate to that in Ohio This cum
not but be regarded as an altogether deplora-
BILE fact, signiIying, as it inevitably must do a

Ancient and Ao0efD W1SOrce.
From the ST. James Gazette. July ~.
IAN Antiquary' writes There 10 little new
under the sun. In Saturdays papers appeared
an account OF the fipal ceremony OF divorce In
France which has just been gone through by
Mme Patti and the Marquis de Caux. The
parties, we are told, seated themselves In the
chairs set apart for the use OF brides and bride
grooms before the mayor only, in place OF sit
ting side by side, their chairs were separAsea py
q row OF four others without occupants Wit
nesses attened on both Sides and the disunited
couple formally assented to their divorce, and
then went their respective ways. Now these
French ceremonies OF marriage and divorce have
an exact parallel In the oldests modes OF forum
ing and dfssolving the marriage tie among the
ancient Romans The religious ceremony
called coaSarrea:io is thus described by 9ibbon:
IA sacrifice of fruits was offered by the pom
tiffs in the presence OF ten witnesses; the
contracting parties were seated ON the same
sheepskin; they tasted q salt cake offar, or rice,
and this confirmation, which denoted the an
cent food of italy, served as an emblem of their
mystic union OF mind and body" Thus were
couples married more than ave hundred years
before Christ and even more striking Is the par
allel to be found in the dissolution OF such a
marriage. This was effected by the dDarredtio
in which the parties sat on two separate sheep
skins, and tasted, presumably, of two distinct
salt Sakes,with the same formalities. Such
parallels are always interesting, and this one
clearly points to q survival.

Shocking Crime.

CoNcoRDIA, Ohio, April 2S.-One of the
most shocking crimes ever known in this
aeclion was committed near this place Sun
day night. A German named Adolph Hess,
with his wife and child, lived in a mean
little house three miles from the village.
Some time during the night Hess, who was
addicted to drink, took an axe and with
one blow severed the head of his child from
its body. The head was found on the Hoor
Hess then beat his wife on the head until
life was extinct. The room bore evidence
of dreadful struggle. The floor was
smeared with blood, chairs were broken
and bloody finger marks stained the wall.
The womans body, almost nude and hor.
ribly bruised and gashed lay in one corner.
After his bloody work Hess hung himself
10 rafter, and, when found, all the bodies
were stiff

ROCHESTER, N. Y, April ga brutal
murder was committed near Port Gibson,
Ontario county, yesterday afternoon at the
residence of George Shook, who lives mile

revolver. He fired at her twice, both shots
taking effect in her breast. She lived about
an hour after being shot. The murder was
entirely unprovoked. Scott has a violent
