Divorce is never very edifyins sub
ject to study although the customs of
different countries vary very consider
ably. The Island of Madagascar is prob
ably unique in the possession of custom
by which distasteful husband merely
has to give his wife a piece of money
and say, "Madam thank o." III order
to be divorced. The Chicago, South
Dakota and Denver divorce mills appear
to be very slow going affairs indeed COM
pared with those of Madagascar.
There can be no question that many
rec nj marriages indicate new tendency
in the selection of wives by some of the
men VINO have had an extended choice
Many things suggest that the girl who
dances we'll, who dresses like a fashion
plate, or whose chief attraction consists
of pretty baby face, is not the one who
scores the triumphe. She may WELD a
sway in circle of passing admirers for a
season or two, but in the great number
of instances she ultimately becomes a
recruit to the enlarging army of useless
spinsters who simply replne and wear
out a dull existence without even an en-
livening human interest Of any sort to
occupy their attention. 1t is the smart
and bright girls, the rather reserved and
domestic young women who of late have
been figuring most us brides, and the
time when practical knowledge of
housekeeping and domestic economy, or
even a familiarity of cooking, is consid-
cred detriment to the wife of man OF
means or position seems to have gone

SATURDAY, JANUARY 80, 1892.

The following is special to the St.
Louis Republic:
"Paducah, Ly., Jan. lS-A number of
white boys were skating on pond near
here late yesterday when Colored boy
attempted to join the party. A row en-
sued, when 1t was proposed to hang the
Negro. He was overpowered and sew
eral boys tied their skate straps together
and then tied one end to the Negroes
neck. The straps were thrown over
a limb, and the boys pulled him up. He
was nearly dead, when the straps parted
The boys were about to repeat the hang
ing, when some men came along and
stopped them and turned the Negro
loose. The boys had dug grave for
their victim, and said they fully in
tended to put him in it. Friday last
there was hanging bere and this eug-
gested TO the boys good way to get rid
OF an intruder. The incident leaked
out today and there is considerable ex-
element over the matter both among
the blacks and whites.'
Such savagery on the part of boys is
the natural and inevitable result of the
example OF their elders. Yet while
such scenes transpire at home, the
whole country is convulsed over an oc.
curance in Chill, of which we do not
know the actual facts and is preparing
to spend thousands of dollars and sacri.
fce many lives to avenge the wrongs
perpetrated upon few citizens under
circumstances of peculiar nature.
Would not some of the attention we are
devoting to Chilli, be better expended at

The Indiana White Caps are up to
their pranks again. Last week man
was taken from home and whipped until
he had tainted twice, and defenceless
woman was ducked in a creek until she
could neither stand nor cry. The man
may die and the woman is likely to.
Meantime the good people of the State
accept the situation calmly, and pass
resolutions denouncing Russian barbar-
ity.-New York Tribune.
The above is a very mild specimen of
the general apathy which prevades the
country. Thousands of American citi-
Gems, in the South, are victims of mob
violence, disfranchised by laws in direct
controvention of the Constitution of the
United States and subjected to the laws
made under Constitution never adopt
ed by vote Of the people, yet the good
people accept the situation calmly and
howl about a row some drunken sailors
kicked up in Valparaiso, or denounce
Russian barbarity.
