DIFFERENT DIVORCES.

In Australia divorces have never been
sanctioned.
DIVORCES are scarcely ever known to oc-
cur in modern Greece.
IN Hindostan either party for slight
cause may leave the other and marry.
In the olden times the Jews had dis
cretionary power of divorcing their wives.
DIVORCES are scarcely allowed in Thibet,
unless with the consent of both parties.
Remarriage is forbidden.
In Cochin China, the parties desiring di-
vorce break a pair of chOpsticks in the
presence Of witnesses and the thing is
done.
AMONG some tribes of American Indians
the pieces of sticks given the witnesses of
the marriage are broken as sign of d.
vorce
In Liberia if man is dissatisfied with the
most trifling acts of his wife he tears cap
or vail from her face and that constitutes a
divorce.
If the wife Of Tu-koman asks his per.
mission to go out and he says ego" with
out adding leone back again." they are
divorced.
Two KINDS of divorces are granted in
Circassla. By the first the parties can i'm
mediately marry again; by the second, not
for year.

TRUE STORY.

The Ancient Greeks were noted FOR their
superior skill as Athletes, and to this fact they
owed great conquests. The Olympian Games
were contested with the greatest skill, and
the prize-bearers were specially designated
Athlophoros. From this word the ATH-Lo-
pHo-Ros REMEDIES were named. from their
intrinsic value as the prize-bearing remedies
of this continent. They are four in number.
ATH-Lo-PPo-Ros cures Neuralgia and Rheu-
matism only. ATHLo-ExTRAcT cures all kinds
of Skin Diseases, and restores the skin to
perfect health and beauty. ATHLo-PILLs cure
all forms of Dyspepsia. Loss OF vitality and
Female Complaints. ATHLoPHoRos PLASTER
gives instantaneous relief to pains of all
kinds. These Remedies are specially pre-
pared for specific purposes, and not like
many medicines, - Cure Ais

DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.

DELEGATION OF PRoPERTY-owNERs on STREET
has been trying to convince Senator Dawes that
street should be in the estimates for street
improvements this year. Particular stress was
laid on the necessity for the laying of concrete
between 9Th and 10th streets. Mr. Dawes was
informed that the Commissioners had not done
as they should by I street, and the appropria-
ton committee was requested to remedy the
omission.
DISTRICT BILLS IN THE SENATE.
Senator Faulkner this afternoon reported the
amended act to incorporate the Georgetown
and Tenleytown railroad; also the amended
bill incorporating the Homestead Savings
Bank.

Senator Mitchell to-day presented the petit

that her husband died from injuries received
in the service, and not, as has been charged,
from the effects of intemperance, and that she
Is therefore entitled TO a pension and has been
entitled to one ever since her husbands death
on May 25, 1873. She denounces the statements
of those who have heretofore prevented her
securing pension as false, and prays Congress
for relief.
THE BUILDING ASSOCIATION TAX.
MIR. John Joy Edison, of the Equitable build
ing association, was before the House District
committee to-day, and also a subcommittee of
the Senate District committee, in the interest
of the pending bill to exempt the
stock of building associations from
taxation under the present tax law. Mr.
Edison appeared hopeful to-day of securing the
passage of the law. He urges that to tax the
stock of such associations, to tax real estate
and then the trusts held to secure
the loans made by the associations
makes triplicate taxation. Representative
Harmer, of Philadelphia, is taking much inter-
est in the measure, and is helping Mr.. Edison.
Representative Harmer comes from a city that
has building association on nearly every cor
ner, and who is thoroughly familiar with the
operations and the value of such organizations.

Boston. Jan. 19-Mr. |. III. Bromley will re-
tire from the Office of assistant to the president
of the Union Pacific railroad company on
March /. Mr.. Bromley's duties in this position
which he has held for four years. have been
chiefly in connection with the effort to pro-
cure a settlement of the questions between the
company and the government. 1t having been
decided that no further effort in this direction
will be made after the present Congress. the
department heretofore in Mr.. Bromley's charge
will be discontinued. Accepting Mr.. Bromley g
resignation, President Adams writes: 'As YOU
say, the work you came here to do is practi-
cally accomplished SO far as your part of it is
concerned. We have not got a settlement with
the government nor are we likely to get one
but the tone of the press toward us has largely
through your exertion been greatly moderated,
and our case is fairly understood. Under these
circumstances do not see any field for active
work which remains for you here. 1 have no

UTAH'S CLAIM TO STATEHOOD.
Gov. West Opposes the Admission of the
Mormon Territory.

Gov. Caleb W. West, of Utah. was heard by
the House committee on territories to-day in
opposition to the admission of Utah territory
as state Of the Union. He appeared, he said,
as the governor of the territory, and as such
he ought not to have any prejudice against the
people. Duty, honor, and manhood required
that he should be perfectly fair and
honest in all that he should say on
the subject. He invited the committee
to ask him any questions that suggested them
selves and said he should give fair, honest,
and candid answer, no matter whom il hurt.
He had been invited to come to Washington
and oppose the proposition of admission. In
this movement he represented himself as
citizen and might say, the universal
SENTIMENT OF THE NoN-MoRMoN POPULATION OF
UTAH.
There never had been a single adverse criti-
cism on his administration of affairs in the
territory. He had not, he declared, come be-
fore the committee for the purpose of attack
ing and making war upon the Mormons. He
argued that statehood for Utah would intrench
Mormonism and he asked what check would
there be upon the legislature. II the power of
statehood should be granted to Utah the old
non-Mormon residents would have to sell out
at sacrifice and get away. They could not
live there then and prosper. The new nom
Mormon residents of the territory had said
they would have to do the same thing.
HE WOULD WARN THE DEMOCRATS
of the effects of adopting policy that would
look to the admission of Utah. History shows,
he said, that the Mormons are neither republi-
cans nor democrats. The allegiance of the
Mormons is to the church, and if the party
made the fearful and fatal blunder of advocat-
ing statehood for Utah there was not terri
tory in the northwest that MIGHT haraa flor ho
come state that the party could hope to carry
in an election.
Gev. West will conclude his argument to-
morrow

ON A FRIGHTFUL CHARGE.
An Ohio Man Arrested for Conspirins

An Ohio Man Arrested for Conspiring
to Murder a Family Of Six.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 1S.-A dispatch from
Eaton, Ohio, says that John V. Spivey, of
Miamisburg, and VIM. F. Beall of Eaton,
were arrested yesterday, charged with an
attempt to rob and murder, and were released
on bail to appear for examination next Mon
day. Beall is the father of John Beall, the
boy now serving life term in the Ohio peni-
tertiary for killing his mother little over a
year ago. Spivey has made voluntary state
ment to the effect that Beall by letter, made
an appointment to meet him (Spivey) at Ham,
ilton, in pursuance of which they met and. OBJ
serving great secrecy, Beall told Spivey that
in Finley Hoffman's house $50 could be had
by numbering Hoffman and his family. Beall
was willing to let Spivey keep the money if he
would give to Beall two notes for $500 each
which were given by James Beall. his brother.
He said further that if the Hoffman family
was killed he would get an interest in the Hoff-
man farm. The Hoffman family numbered
six persons. Beall made the plan for the MUIR
der. Spivey called on Beall again in Eaton on
the 18th, and the murder set for the 10th,
but he went to Hamilton and told a detective
who went up yesterday and arrested Beall.
Spivey will give his testimony at the trial on
Monday. He is employed by Hoover & Gam
BILE at Miamisburg and bears good reputation.

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-The stock market was very
quiet this morning. and even the active stocks
which comprised Lackawanna, Reading, Atchi-
son, st. Paul, and Union Pacific, were only
doing moderate business. First prices were
generally higher than last evenings figures and
in most of the list there were further advances
of small fractions. while Pullman and Cotton
Oil displayed marked strength, each rising 4
per cent. Atchison, however, was specially
weak again and rapidly yielded per cent
and the general list soon followed, the early
gains being wiped out. and additional losses OF
small fractions sustained. The fluctuations
except in the few stocks mentioned. were con.
fined to the smallest fractions and possessed
little significance. The market later became
quite dull. although no change occurred in the
temper of the speculation, and at IL O'Clock
the market was dull but weak at the Lowest
prices reached.
