A JUDGES SENSIBLE WoRDs.-Judge
Tuley occupies position which enables
him, almost compels him,to collect statistics
as to the causes oil divorce. 10 a recent in
terview he said:
II would not add nor take away any CT
the causes cf divorce now given by the
statute. Ii it were practicable, would pro-
hlbit by law any newly married couple iv
ine with the parents of either within the
irst Eve years When left by themselves
their characters sooner assimilate, and they
much sooner learn that in order to be happy,
there must be continued aud mutual self
sacrifices and dependence of each upon the
other"
There is condensed in the last sentence
the result of much experience by close
thinker. A vsst amount OF unhapplntss
might have been avoided, If every newly
married couple and the parents OF each
could have been made to know this, before
il was too late Chicago Times.

Mr.. Butler-"Not the slightest"
Mr.. Spooner-"I did assume for a mo

The G. A. R. AND THE PRESIDENTIAL
the meeting in Columbus, Ohio, yesterday
of the national encampment Of the G. A. R.
there was an exciting scene While the
pension question was under discussion a
number of papers were handed up to the
chairman to be read. Among them was q
dispatch from President Cleveland, acknowl
edgng the receipt of an invitation to attend
the encampment and explaining that it had
been mislaid by his secretary. and forgotten
in the press of business. For this and his
inability to be present, he expressed his re-
greet The reading of the dispatch was fol-
lowed by bisse5, groanF, and cheers, and
for fifteen minutes the enoampment was
in an uproar. Half dozen motions were made
to lay the dispatch the table and to refer it to
the Committee Pensions. Several delegates
demanded the name Of che officer or comrade who
had taken it upon himself to extend the invita-.
ton, and General Keifer, in an excited manner.
asked Commander Rea if he was responsible for
the action. The Commander responded promptly
in the negative adding that he had no authority
to invite the President. Some of the delegates
took advantage of the circumstance to make
general onslaught upon the Presidents pension
policy and his vetoes. Finally all the motions
were declared out of order, and the regular bus.
mess was proceeded with. 1t was afterward de
veloped that the invitation had been extended by
the local committee, to which body the reply was
addressed, and that it had gotten into the en-.
campment by error in the exchange Of papers.

had never had dollars interest in the company,
nor had he ever owned share of stock He had
never rendered that company any service, nor
had they done so for him. Oh the other hand,
nine-tenths OF the stockholders were republicans,

contributing more than all the republican Sena-
