About Divorces.

In Australia divorces have never
been sanctioned.
Divorces are scarcely ever known
to occur i'm ln0r,lcrn Greece.
In llindostan either party, for
slight cause, may leave thcothcrand
marry.
Divorces nro scarcely allowed in
Thihct, unless with the consent of
both parties. RcnIarriagc is forbid
den.
In Cochin China the parties desir-
ing div'nrr break pairotcliopsticks
in the presence Of witnesses, and the
thing is done.
Among some tribes OF American
Indians the pieces Of sticks given the
witness of the marriage are broken
as il sign Of divorce.
II the wife ofa Turkoman asks his
permission to so out, and lie says
'%o," without adding come back
again" they are divorced.
TO kinds of divorces are granted
in Circassia. by the first the parties
can Immediately marry again. BY
the second, not for II year.
In Liberia, ia man is dissatisfied
with the most !riiling acts ofhis wife,
he tears "a cap or veil from lier f;ue,
and that constitutes divorce.
In Siam the first wife may he Gi-
vorrcd, but not sold, as the others
may be. She may claim the first
child. The Others belong to the hus-
band.
In the Arctic regions n man who
wants Il divorce leaves home in an
ger, and does not return for several
days. Tie wife takes the hint and
departs.
In China divorces arc allowed mall
cnses of crimnality, mutual dislike,
jealousy. inconpntibility of temper
nmrnt. or too much lo1uacity on the
part OF the wife.
Among The tnrtars, if the wife is ILL
treated, she complains to the magis-
tratc, who, attended by the principal
people, accompanies her to the house
and prononuces n divorce.
