Tho New York Herald, of this morning, has an editorial on news? papers and tho internal revenue, stating it has been served with a notice of tax due on its business, and unless paid tho usual remedy would be enforced. It is not inform* cd under what law this attempt to tax tho precs is made, and styles it a forced and absurd construction of the Aot, by ignorant assessors. The whole tenor of the revenue laws, as regards the press, shows that Con? gress did not intend to tax news? papers. Incomes from newspaper business pay tax the same as other incomes, but the business itself is not. taxed. It announces its inten? tion to resist the construction put on tho law by the assessors, and believes tho press generally will do tho same. , FINANCIAL ASD OOMMBHCIAli. ) NEW^oM;?Se?,t?tab?T? 2-^-Noom Money eas^/'at 3@4. .Gold ' 4?%.

DIVORCES.-In reading the numer? ous exobanges which reach us, we are struck with the large array of divorce cases chronicled. In our land, where such things are of rare occurrence, we are amazed at seeing the marriage rites so often broken, apparently for no just cause, save by whim or caprice. In Vermont, during the last five years, not less than 574 divorces have been granted; for adultery 64, wil? ful desertion 188, desertion 60, intolerable severity 126, for refusal to support 13, with 20 others for causes that are not mentioned. In Massachusetts, for the same time, 1,254 divorces have been grant? ed; for adultery 546, desertion 589, cruelty 122, intemperance 21-hore tho ratio for adultery is startling. In Ohio, out of 2,681 cases granted for divorce, 635 were for adultery; 1,130 for absence or neglect; for cruelty 480; for intomperauce 196. In Vermont, during seven years, 15,710 marriages have taken place; out of which 730 divorces have oc? curred, being 1 to 21. lu Massachusetts, for four years, there were 45,372 marriages, and di? vorces in ratio 1 to 44. In Ohio, for tho year 186G, the marriages were 30,379; and divorces in ratio 1 to 26. In Connecticut, during tho last eight years, the marriages were 33, 227; the divorces in ratio 1 to ll. Thus, Connecticut, tho land of steady habits, is at the bottom of the list There are more divorces in that State than in Massachusetts, with ten and a half times the population; and more than half as many in Ohio, a Stato with five times tho population. It is also remarkable in tho Now England States, that they do not iu creaso in population, save among the Irish. No SQUIRREL SIGN.-Somo years ago, when Col. Kinney, of Texas, bud circulated his ndveitisements of rich lands, for salo cheap, some old Tennessecans, becoming attracted by tho notice, visited that State for the purpose of purchasing new homes. They first visited tho Oso country, accompanied by Col. Kinney and Capt. Britton. While they wero re gailibg themselves at lunch, under thc shades of tho mezquit trees, ono o? tho young Tennesseeans mounted his iiorso and left tho party to pros? pect the country. Hours elapsed and ho did not return. In tho evening, the main party left for Corpus Chris? ti. Late in the ?vening tho youug Tennessooan arrived in town, but looked rather sad. Ho approached his father, when tho following con? versation took place: Young Ten.-"Dud, this country won't do." Old Ten.-"Why not, son?" Young Ton.-"I have traveled up the bottom of Oso Creek to tho head, and never saw nary squirrel." Old Ten., much disappointed, hung his hoad, and after meditating for some time, he remarked to his son: "No squirrel? No squirrel, no corn. No corn, no hogs. Won't do!" And Col. Kinney didn't sell Tho "Grecian bend" pnt a kink in the backs of some angular ladies at Saratoga, who tried it on, so it bas boen pronounced an improper oir onmbendibus. Too much bustle at Saratoga killed tho bend. i m? .V H - , i M I- , A Lawsuit for ? Million. One of tho moat : extraordinary casca OD record is uaw ponding before Judge Bruce, in the Circuit Court. The facts connected therewith, so far as we have been able to gather them, are as follows: Dr. Samuel E. McKinley, son of Judge McKinley, formerly Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, and United States Judge of this circuit, was residing and practic? ing his profession at New Orleans when that city waa captured by the Federal army. He was retained as surgeon for the Confederate sick, and was afterwards retained in the United States service. The doctor married a very wealthy heiress, a Miss Morri? son, of Louisiana, by whom he has two children; one a boy named James, who is now with him in St. Louis, and the other a little girl, E. J. Lyon McKinley, twelve years of age. His wife dying during the in? fancy of the girl, the doctor, in 1864, moved to New Albany, Ind., taking with him his two children. Abont a year ago, last winter, he moved to this city, where be remained till some time in 1867, and, becoming desirous of going back to New Orleans to look after his property, left bis little daughter at the Ursuline Academy, a Ca th oho female school in this city, for education; sending her, from time to time, money to pay her ex? penne?. Before or about the time of vacation, the doctor having moved and established himself in St. Louis, requested Judge Taylor to send, by Adams Express, his little daughter to him; the express company agreeing to undertake the cure aud custody of the child. When Judge Taylor ap? plied for tho child, the soporior of the academy objected to letting her go till her tuition should be fully paid. The doctor, on learning this, declared that he bad sent by mail the full amonnt, and thou came for her himself. His counsel advising him that the academy could not retain a lien on the child for their money, he sued ont a writ of habeas corpus be? fore his Honor Judge Bruce, and this case, as it happens, is the first brought before Judge Brnco since qualifying as our Circuit Judge. The superior of the academy, answering the writ, stated that the girl was named Lizzie Brown; that she was not the doctor's daughter; that she was fifteen years of age, and that tho doctor was drunken and unfit to con? trol the ch?d. This answer was, yesterday, adjudged insufficient, and the respondent was required to state the time and the means by which re? spondent obtained possession of the child; that a mere allegation that the doctor was not ber father was no ground for the respondent to retain ber. While the doctor was away, some two weeks ago, it seems that the superior applied to the County Court to become her guardian,-and exhibited, it is claimed, a printed envelope with the name of E. J. Lyon McKinley, in which ber father had enclosed money to his dough ter this being tho true name. It is also alleged be bas letters from the supe? rior calling her his daughter, Lyon. It is further said that she has be? come a Catholic, contrary to her father's wishes, who is an Episcopa? lian; and that she will, at bor grand? father's death, become the heiress of more than a million. This trial will develop some of tho strangest points of law and fact known to jurisprudence. [Louisville Courier, August 28. THE LATEST "RAVEN" PAKODY. Numerous have been tho parodies which that feverish, imaginative, yet exquisitely forcible and justly cele? brated poem of Edgar A. Poe, "The Raven," has inspired. But tho fol? lowing, from tho pen of some tired editor ont West, who hod apparently fallen asleep, immediately after read? ing "The Raven," is tho most amus? ing jumble of tho character we have ever seen: The other night while wo lay mus? ing, and our brain confusing over the topics of tho day, suddenly we heard a rattling, as of serried hosts a bat? tling, as they wrangled in their fury. What is that, wo cried upstarting, slap! woran against the door. Ob, 'tis nothing, Muggins grumbled as o'er a hugo arm chair wo stumbled, 'tis a bug and nothing moro. Then said we, our anger rising, (for we thought it surprising that a bug should so offoud,) do you think a small insect, sir, thus tho whole room would inflect, sir? No! 'tis not ii bng, my friend. Now becoming surely frightened, round our waists our pants wo tightened, and put on our hat, then into tho darkness peering wo saw with trembling and much fearing, the glaring eyes of Thomas Cat! With astonishment and wonder we gazed upon this son of thundor, as ho sat upon the floor; when a resolu? tion taking, and a rapid movoment making, lo! we opened wide the door! Now, cloar out, we hoarsely shouted, as o'er bend our boot we flouted, take your presence from our floor. Then with air and mien ma? jestic, this dear creature called do? mestic, made his exit through the door. Made his exit without growl? ing, neither was his voioe heard bowling. Not a word he said. And with feelings much elated to escape a doom so fated, we went slowly back to bed. Blrtte^g-. ^ ?I In the first freshness of youth and hope, those mile-posts of life are sainted with gay smiles and goodly, oheer, thnt they bring nj nearer the' enchanted portals of fairy land. In? side we can catch a gleam of the golden fountain, and the harmony of tho singing tree. Tb? Ms?k stones lie right and left of our path, but what lesson have they for us? How can We dream that beautiful hopes and lofty aims like curs could petrify into inert aud lifeuess masses, So we cry "hail" to eaoh sign whieh tells us we are so much nearer the adventure of life we wore so eager to undertake. Some fortunate ones are destined to the lucky accomplish? ment; why not we? To be sure, many luckless paladins lie lifeless at the bottom of the bill, but can we not easily avoid the dangers which overthrew them? Oh, those early birth-days, what do they not promise? The auroral light glorifies the homeliest object, and we are so strong in the mere happiness of existence, that how can we fanoy the sweet draught ever ferments and grows turbid. Hopes are sometimes disappointed, but they were bobbles highly blown from a whole sea of foam, and the supply is exhaustless. Later, our birth-days are welcomed more gravely ? if they aro welcomed at all. Tho serious business of life is with us, and it is no child's play. The ledger still shows a balance in our favor, but it is a balance we must keep by no idle dreams and foolish fancies, but by strong will and reso? lute action. Our birth-days are the mere summings np of tho losses and gains of tho previous years. It is not a question of how much older wo aro by time, but how much older in the experience whioh can mako time available for our purposes. We are still strong in the power of blowing our bubbles, but they are fewer, and we put moro heart in the task. Nay, there is a kind of glamour in them, for, as they rise, they seem to take a more solid form, and hold a full world in their rounded sphere. When they burst, as burst they must, there comes with their loss none of the passing regrets of youth, but cold, numbing despair for the love, or fame, or fortuno wo thought they held. After that, birth-days pus? unnoted, or by a sharp, quick pang that the folded leaf of the record leaves us bankrupt in many things we had held dearest. Still later days come aud other birth-days, neither fresh nor beauti? ful as the first, nor fall of the passion and pain of living, (as the second, but in many lives instinct with a I serene grace of their own. The rest hos come after the battle. The feet I can no longer tread the devious ways nor the hand wield its weapons of offence and defence. Whether the field has been well or ill-fought, the conflict is in some measure over, and birth-days are but the vesper notes which mark the twilight settling over life. The aged heart has forgotten the refrain of youth which cried out to the hours, "Pass on, oh most beauti? ful, for yonder in the distance comes hurrying toward me moments fairer than thou art." But it, too, has a song of its own, whioh says: "Pass on, oh time; thou art but pain, and sorrow, and disappoint? ment. Make way for eternity, in whose red dawn angels are singing the birth-day anthem of tho soul which enters rejoicing into the new life."-New Orleans Times. THE VALVE OF ADYEKTISEN-G.-A gentleman of New York, who bas taken up bis summer quarters with his family in ono of the outlying suburbs, recently purchased seven pounds of sugar from his village grocer, aud found it sadly adulte? rated with sand. Tho next day he inserted the following paragraph in tho village paper: "Notice.-I bought of a grocer, in this village, seven pounds of sugar, from which I have extracted one pound of sand. If the rascal who cheated mo will send to my address seven pounds of sugar (the scriptural measure of res? titution) I will bo satisfied; if not, I will expose him." The next day niuo seven pound packages of sugar were left at the advertiser's house, there being nine grocers in tho vil? lage, and each supposing himself to have been detected. DIAMOND MAKING.-Perhaps art has at last triumphed completely over nature, and torn from her grasp, after a long continued strug? gle, tho great secret. What was the process by means of which nature, in the secret places of her groat world laboratory, fashioned the diamond from tho carbon, in one form or another, that it took in hand? The following hues, from the London Mining Journal, speak for them? selves; "Mr. Saix sont in a papor to the Academy of Science on the arti? ficial production of black, colorless and colored diamonds. If a current of chlorine be mudo to pass through cast iron when in a state of fusion, pei -chloride of iron is formed, which disappears by evaporation, leaving the carbon of metal at liberty, in a crystallized state." Maryland has abolished "the rod'' in the colored schools. ~ . . - . . ? . - , A bombie tragedy occurred at Bella River, a small station on the Great Western Railway, in Ganada, on the 30th. Tho saw and grist mill of E. Var) Orden was burned, and Van Orden,'his wife and a nephew were consumed in the flames. It was supposed they were murdered and robbed, and the mill was then fired. While the mill was burning, another mill in the vicinity, owned by De? troit parties, was set on fire, and totally destroyed, with 1,000,000 feet of lotnberage. A largo number of children and abont twenty adults, were poisoned in Boston yesterday, by eating freely of castor beans, which they mistook for pea-nuts. The beans were thrown into refuse barrels by a Arm engaged in the manufacture of castor oil, and greedily seized upon by the children, many of whom also feasted their parents. No deaths have yet occur? red, but it is quite likely some of the cases will prove fatal The Commissioners of Virginia and West Virginia met at White Sulphur Springs on Saturday, and concluded a contract for the comple? tion of tho Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, extending from the sea? board to the Ohio River and passing through tho only pass in the Alle? gheny Mountains that ia at present unoccupied by railroads. This is said to be the shortest lino from Chicago to the Atlantic. In tho matter of a session of Con? gress in September, says tho New York Herald, the Republican mem? bers seem to have agreed that if they do not meet, thoy are in danger of losing the South, and if they do, they aro in danger of losing the North. They have, therefore, sim? ply to choose which risk is prefera? ble. GRASSHOPPERS.-It is stated that grasshoppers have made their appear? ance in countless numbers in Halifax County, Virginia. They havo par? tially stripped the corn of its blades, and in some places there is nothing but the stem left on the corn-stalk. Their depredations upon the tobaccc is likewise alarming.
