Separation Sought.

James H. johnson ESQ. OF South
Haven, solicitor for Mrs Eva l.. Camp
belt, has filed a bill in chaocery praying
that the said Eva may be divorced from
her husband, Orv;lle +. Campbell. As
good and valid reasons why her said
prayer should meet with Il favorable
consideration, she alleges that, soon
after their marriage, her husband be-
came very abusive and neglected to
provide her with necessary food and
clothing; that he has developed mania
for rambling around from place to
place without any apparent or definite
object III view; that on account of his
neglect and i'll treatment, she became
sick and enfeebled and, through fear of
losing her life, was obliged TO apply to
her parents for assistance on different
occasions that at the time of her mar
riage, she was mere child only seven
teen years of age; that she was frail
and unable To endure the hardships TO
which she has been subjected that she
has suffered abuse and insult from her
said husband from the date of her mar
riage in 1891, until she separated from
him in 1887; that on one occasion he
knocked her down with blow from
his fist. For these and for other causes
enumerated in her said bill of com
plant, the said Eva deems herself well
entitled To a decree divorcing her from
the matrimonial bond that unites her
to an unkind, unloving husband.

The peculiar Interpretation of Christ's
teaching made by Count Tolstoi, and
his example in renouncing his former
military, social and literary habits of
life for the life of Russian peasant,
have made as deep an impression on
the thought of the time as his great
novels. Is this the proper interpreta-
ton of Christ's teaching and is the
Christian world in error? Canon Far
rar has answered this inquiry in re-
view of Tolstoi's writings and religious
faith and manner of life in an essay
which has both a literary and a deep
religious interest. 1t has been procured
by the Forum and will appear in the
