A Few Words ~u Divorte The large fact abodt ,ivorces is that there is almost always another man or woman in waiting with whom the applicant expects to renew The covenants he or she .is now ,anxious to avoid. Most persons do not seek divorce because their marriage bonds ase intolerable, brt because they think some other marriag ebonds will be ittore to their taste. If the most that law allowed was separation from bed and board, most of the discon tented couples would patch up a modusaivendi and go on as they are. A redeal of husbands and wives sanc tioned .by the courts, the church and society differs only in degree, and not in principle,from the cut and try again doctrines which two women were deservedly ostracised for preach ing a good many years ago. It is this and .a large observation of life which lies back of the demands that marriage vows shall be considered sacred, something not to be lightly undertaken and not to be severed but for the gravest reasons.-Brook lyn Eagle. St. Medard-day, the 8th of June, has come and gone but it brought no rain. Tradition has it that as this day is so will be the ensuing forty. The Hon. John D. Long, Secretary of the Navy, contributes to Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for June a complete and most interesting account of "The Building of the New Navy." It is a wonderful story, as true as it is wonderful, and the pictorial illus trations enhance its value. Secre tary Long may well say: "Looking over the navy register, and noting the the number and classes of ships that compose the nxp4ern navy, it seems hardly possible that only thirteen years ago the first vessel of this formidable and effective force was put in commission." To-day, besides the formidable fleet in commission, we have actually building no less than fifty-three new vessels, including eleven battleships of the first class. Add to these the twelve more vessels just authorized by Congress, and we have a total of sixty-five vessels upon which work is in progress.

I am just getting over a spellt Q the fever I was not very bad off but it made feel as though I wanted to ! come back to the States again but it is a case of stay With me for I believe this place will beat Klondyke if they ever whip these niggers,but I tell you they are going to have a hard time doing it,is my way of thinking. This' war is far worse and harder to put down than they counted on. It has now been running on the best ;part of three mouths, and still they tare no nearer the end than when it begh.The losses to the Americans has been 386 killed and 1620 wounded making in all 2000 two thousand disabled ;since sending these reports there has been 18 killed and 67 wounded and still the fighting goes on. 1 can o0nsider myself lucky that I am out of it and I do, I was dis charged just a few days before it broke out and I think how near I came of re-enlis ting it gives me the bhudders to think of,for you see I.lost my travel pay by not enlisting which amounted to $460. But thought bet ter of it and have been hugging thy self ever since for using a little cornm mion sense and hot enlisting for anoth er three years, and perrhaps get shot and let me say since I have been dis charged I have made some six hund red dollars, by running a wagon out to the firing lines and selling what ,ever the soldiers ngeded,so you see I have mnot lost any thing in the long run, but am making more money than I ever made before. I some times think I am lucky to be living when I see men brought in every day all shot to pieces, and yet I am going 9 oat almost every day and exposipg myself to the same danger, but I have concluded that it wont do an4 I mean to take better care of myself in the future.
