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

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.

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."
