The Jenks-Littlejohn Divor ce.

The Newark Adoertiser had a most
extraordinary article yesterday on the
divorce of Bishop Littlejohn's daugh-
ter which attracted much public
notice about a year ago. Here is the
main part Oft
When a daughter of Bishop Littlejohn Of Long
Island, secured an ecclesiastical divorce from
her husband. Mr.. a. 4. jerks of Brooklyn, there
was q general chorus of surprise. Laymen. and
not a few ciergymen, denied that three or four
bishops, or even a full house of bishops. had any
authority to declare void a marriage that had
been soleninized according to State law. Mrs.
jerks had secured u divorce IN the courts of
Rhode Island, alleging non-support; and the epis-
coral dictum obtained from the bishops was to the
effect that the marriage. for some reason not
given, was null and void db fnitio. The ecclesi-
astical annulment OF the marriage bond, it was
supposed, was intended to remove the bar
which, in ecclesiastical law. forbids the mar
riage of divorced persons. Now that the lady
is reported to be about to marry again, the
question will be brought up once more. Is there
States to declare void a marriage which has
been solemnized according to State law?
1t is impossible to conceive of a
more stupid misunderstanding than
this. The facts are accurately stated,
but the conclusions are simply ridicul-
Nous. jerks contracted his second mar
rage in virtue OF the legal divorce in
Rhode Island. If Miss Littleiohn
marries again, she will do so in virtue
of the same decree. There is no at
tempt or appearance of an attempt to
use the ecclesiastical divorce as an an
nulment ofthe civil marriage.
The ecclesiastical divorce was Sc
cured for conscience sake, s an act of
conformity to ecclesiastical discipline,
as a means of averting scandal among
the members of a church who do not
approve Of divorce except on II
two radical grounds, and which are
not the grounds on which the jerks
Littlejohn Rhode Island divorce was
granted. The course of the parties
in this suit appears to have been die
, tated by a genuine love of principle.
When the legal divorce was obtained,

The Journals" County Road SLAM

The Journals" County Road SLAM
ders.
The Journal keeps up the same old
policy of SANDER regarding everything
connected with the County Road.
The more the F~reeholders, the Com
m~issioners, the engineers and the
counsel endeavor to show their good
faith and earnest desire to do the
work economically and we'll, in the
full light of public scrutiny, the more
bitter and malicious the Journals at
tacks become.
Yesterday the Freeholders and their
agents held a meeting to review the
work that had been done, and to take
steps towards having a public inspec-
ton of it and audit of the accounts to
date. The report Of this session pub
lished in the Journal was discounted
in a cowaraly and malignant spirit of
falsehood and Misrepresentation.
The opening lines of the heading
were couched in the ex-Rev. ex-Police-
mans choice cut throat style. They
insulted the experts who are en-
ployed on the road in q
fashion wholly unjustified by any
thing in the article. The experts
seem to be the Journals special alb
horrence, and everyone is wondering
which of them the managers of that
paper are trying TO get even with.
But this was not all. On another
page, the Journal had another article
in which the cost of a portion OF the
legal work done was paraded without
any reference to the amount of work
accomplished. 'Preliminary Extrav-
agance" is the heading of this article.
Its phraseology is culled from the
vocabulary of abuse; but every fact
in it shows, through the veneer of
SANDER, the energy and Judgment
with which the preliminary work has
been done, thus saving all the ex-
penses which naturally result from
delays, postponements, and generally
from retail methods of doing vast
work.
There is something more in the
Journals attacks than mere partisan
animus. There is a personal element
somewhere in the business. Some
body is disappointed and disgruntled.

The Significant Thumb.

Palmistry declares that the strength of
ones will is evidenced by the formation
of the thumb, the will-power of its owner
being great or little according to tho
length or want of length OF it's upper
Joint. How the thumbs of Roman holiday
makers were formed mattered nothing to
the defeated gladiator. whose fate hung
upon their being bent forward or back
ward; n method of decreeing life or death
to which perhaps we owe the old saying
that q man at another's mercy is unuer
his thumb.
In olden times it was the pressure of
the thumb upon the wax of q documents
seal that made the deed a binding and
valid instrument. and in verbal CON-
tracts the thumb ratified the bargain.
Goths and Iberians completed an
agreement by licking aud joining
their thumbs. as Scotsmen once did.
and Moors still do; aud rustic lovers once
betrothed themselves by licking their re-
spective masters fingers and then press
main faithful to each other forever and a
day. In the seventeenth century Rugs
were frequently worn upon the thumb.
"When l was about thy years, Hail."
said the Fat knight, Twas not an eagles
talon in the waist-I could lave crept into
an alderman's thumb rug" Thomas A.
Beckett's thumb ring, given to him by
the King of France, was graced with Il
rudy the size of a hens egg.
In the days OF Queen Anne the feminine
thumb ring was the badge of widowhood;
aud women tired of single-blessedness
were wont to don it, aud. as Jolly
Widows" achieve conquests denieu to
them as spinsters. -IriSb Times.

An Unjust Criticism.

From letter which appeared in Sat-
urday's CHRONICLE headed San Arbi-
trary Rule some fair minded citizen
might be led to believe that an injus-
tice had been committed against a
patron of our school. That such has
not been the case will appear when all
the facts are known concerning this par
ticular child's absence. For an absence
on March 14th she told her teacher she
went to see the train come in. On
March 18th she got little mud on her
dress and said she would not come. On
March 25th she wanted to stay at home.
On March Goth it rained little but the
child was excused by the teacher
April Sth the little girl came tardy. On
ths day preceding this hardness the
little girls mother was at school, where
the teacher explained to her the condi-
tions regarding the absence. No excuse
was offered verbally at that time, nor
since in writing.
AS to the "boy who plays truant or
absents himself to engage in game of
hockey" we are of the opinion that some
other kind of punishment which would
act more directly upon him would be
better.
The rule itself believe is sufficiently
mild to meet the wishes of all good citi-
zens who have the welfare of our school
at heart. NJ. w. SMITH.

MT. DaVlu a. Weil5 mas Deen making
some computations on silver, and finds
there are now in the vaults of the United
States treasury $40o, 100000 worth of
that metal. This makes IL 900 tons, and
the government is buying every week 42
tons additional, to add to this store. The
stored silver furnishes an interesting sub
ject for computations. A cubic inch of
silver weighs 0.3S pounds, and a cubic
foot 657 pounds, so there is on hand 53,-
500 cubic feet. 1t would take 800, 600
men to carry it, each carrying 100
pounds. If coined into dollars and piled
up in a column, it would reach 675 miles.
This immense amount of silver is in dol
