From the N. ¥. World. Inthe World recently have been given some instances of eccentricity in the matter of mar- rlages and elopements. Even more eccentricity, perhaps, is displayed inthe matter of divorces, which has its comic and ridiculous as well as its serions side. Thus nething could be more praciieal than the action of the Ohio woman who recently married a man to cancel a debt of . and then got a divorce from him for $60, | coming out $269 ahead. Nor can the Wiscon- s pe denied praise tor her ingenuity who obtained evidence as to her hasband’s wander- ings by painting the soles of his boots. One of the allegations made in a Louisvilie wife's bill | for divoree was that her husband, to cure her of jealously, compelled her to kiss the man of whom she was jealous, having brouzht the latter to the house for the purpose. The wife of a travelling preacher fin Maine has sought a divoree from him on the ground that because of his Bohemian mode of fe and his lazy shiftlesa manner of living “he had no credit among merchants, so they, in his absence, refused to let her have a salt mack- erel or red herring to subsist on, and thereby | her health became impaired,” &e. At Shelby ville, Ind., @ physician sued his wife for divorce on account of her “ernel and inhuman treat- j; ment.” She refused to believe that all his ab- ences from home were professional, and de- manded that he should stay in of nights. He | said hie patients would not stand neglect. Then | she adopted the plan of taking poison whenever | he had a nicht call, thus compelling him to re- _ main and doctor her. She swallowed a deadly | drug in this way several times, and her life was saved with difficulty. In Davenport, Iowa, a woman of fifty-seven recently applied fora third divoree from the husband of sixty-four, to whom she had t been remarried, the complaint | being in each case cruel treatment, At Des | Moines, in the same state, Mrs. Jennie Hyland obtained a divorce from her ht nd for cruelty, | remarried him almost immediately and then in- voked the aid of the law again, alleging unbear- able cruelty once more. Wee Stone, a Chinese laundryman, at Tiffin, O., not long ago cele- brated his birthday by taking out his naturaliza- tion papers and suing for diverce. A few days since Mr. Philip L. Reeves obtained a divorce this city and married again on the same day, being more fortunate in this respect than a lady in Vermont, who had arranged for her remar- riage. invited the enestsand ordered the supper, and then saw the suit which was to set her liberty put off till the next term of court. . There is a bootblack in Portland, Me., who has been the vietim ofsome curious family complications, and now elaims to have tiree fathers and two mothers. His father and nother were divorced, and each married acain. Later his mother pro- cured asecond divorce andmarried the third time. Awoman in Chicago last year, Mrs. Elizabeth Falvy, asked for divorce from two husband: In 1868 she married Dennis Falvy, at Lynn. Mass., but In 1; he deserted her.” Two later Edward Hines told her Palvy was . and she married him. Subsequently she learned that Falvy was living in Quincy. Mass., and was married to another woman, aud Mrs. Falvy therefore sought to be released from Falvy be- cause of his violation of the marriage vows, and from Hines because she could not legally con- tract marriage at the time she married him. Among the most remarkable of causes alleged in a divorce suit was that. charged by a Cincin- nati woman last year—“ wilful absence for more than three years* of the husband to whom sh was married in September, 1880. A still mor startling disclosure was that in Milwaukee | where a lawyer, having obtained judgment in a foreclosure suit in which he was himself plain- tiff, was astonished to receive a certiticate from | the clerk of the court purporting to be a true copy of a judgment of divorce between the parties to the suit. It is not often that one sees a husband of 92 sue for a divorce from a wife of 8, but that sizht was witnessed last year in Des Moines, Iowa. Cases of making up after divoree are not rare, but at Shelby- ville, Ind.. last year a couple named Sandufer made up before divorce in an unusual style. A deeree had been granted, when, said the local paper, “Sandnfer and the woman who only one short moment azo had been his wife rose in- stantaneonsly from their seats and by one ac- cord quietly withdrew to a corner of the court- room, where they engaged in earnest conversa- tion. ticed that the couple were greatly moved at what had happened, for great tears suffused their eyes and roiled down their cheeks. Ia a shorter space of time than it requires to write it the mystified pair embraced. then kissed each other, then repeated it over and over, clinging to one another with all the tenactty of youthful lovers. Men tittered, women cried and the jude grew indignant. Rising from his seat the court declared that a couple capable of such demonstrations as the one just made could I together, and taking up his pen he drew it across the docket, erasing the decree.” At Chicazo, when granting a decree a moderate but habitnal tip Judge Jameson s “Ts such a man fit to be the father of his wife’schildren?

Any further reference to Oscar Wilde in these days would seem to require an apology, but there are very few things so insignificant that they may not oecasionally be de useful in the way of illustration, and if Wilde can be made useful in any manner at all it ts clear gain to get that much out of him. The circumstances of his reception in this country serve to strikingly illustrate the extent to which sham prevails in what is called society. There is an immense amount of yeneering'in the world, a consuming desire on the part of people to appear to be something more than they are, and within cer- tain limits this tendency exists in an inverse Tatio to the real worth of the individual. There are some who are manitestly so low down in the mental and moral scale that all pretence is re- cognized by them to be useless, and it is not attempted. But these are certainly not in ‘* s0- ciety,” and ar8 not here coneider There are others, too. so gifted with naturalness and swect humility as be free from the besetting sin of shamming. ese are the pure diamonds that mnaintain their integrity under all circumstances. They may seem to be carried along with the tawdry glare and litter. but they are wonder- ing meanwhile what it all means, and are not voluntary participants in the general humbug. There are such natures in “society,” and they are beyond criticisin. It Is entirely sate to assert that the attention which is paid to Mr. Wilde by the fashionable society of eastern cities is merely a manifesta- tion of the social sham. It isa tine thing to be able to appreciate art and genius. Hence there arises a dee to be thought capable of that kind of appreciation. It is understood to be the mark of a retined mind, and refinement and mental superiority are peculiarly the qualities that a large class of monied humbugs affect. The less they possess them the more they affect them, and the result is an exaggeration that disgusts really intelligent and appreciative peo- ple. It is the misfortune of Wilde that what- ever good there is in him is damned by the spurious tribute that is paid to what he is imagined to be. The people who make ¥o much fuss about “adoring poetry” and “worshipping art” are very liable to make the mistake of ca- nonizing the wrong party. Tennyson himself would not create the sensation in New York “society” that this mushroom poct has suc- ceeded in doing. Mr. Wilde has interspersed some creditable verses in the midst of a general lot of nonsense. He has delivered a lecture which was little more than a mess of well- worded trash. From not a single competent critic has there came any decided indorsement of his alleged genius, and yet “society” seizes upon him, fetes him, struggles for the honor of flattering his vanity, and writes itself down a | collective ass. It is sham worshiping shain. Probably not one person in ten who have gathered at the Wilde receptions has ever read through a single poem that he has written. The sensation he has n made the occasion of isa | hot-honse development of insincere — senti- mentality, the heat being supplied by the action and reaction of sham and extrayagance in the social crowd—the warmth of friction, not of a } luminary. But can the element that enzages jin this sort of ballooning monopolize all tl ; is meant by the term “society” in this countr, Perhaps not, though ft must be confessed that many people who haye the reputa- tion of being sensible are influenced by | the frothy tide, and while recognizing its character and laughin; yield to it more or less completely. “Society” assumes to be infallible. What it dictates must be acceded to. This is its creed. Just. where its power comes from no one can tell, It has wealth on its side. and it is underlaid with some reasonabie rules for its own protection. No one can enter it without credentials, be they money, talent or family. It closes its doors to the stranger, the idea being to keep the wolves out of the fol but sometimes it is only necesary for it to be acquainted with the wolf to secure his admis- sion. “Society” is not a democracy; it is an oligarchy. The majority does notrule. Assump- tion and self-aseertion take the lead, and are all the toe meekiy followed. Intelligence and worth, being retiring, have less weight than pre- tension. The latter makes its claims and they are allowed, more for the sake of avoiding the effort of a protest than anything else. , ~ A‘ society ” founded almost wholly on newly acquired-wealth, which is its marked condition in the United States, has not had time to be- come characteristically intelligent. [t has not had time to inure itselfagainst the deteriorating influences of money. The children of wealthy parents who do not inheri ional aptitudes come generally from the tail end ot their classes in colleges and seminaries—if indeed they man- age to go through them at all—and go home to enter “society.” The importations from the world of shoddy are constantly coming in, and fall endeavor to make up for their deficicnci by sham. They thrust themselyes on the all tuat gives our society real wei s it, keeps modestly in the bas ground.

From the Detroit Free Press. He had been absent a year, the youngest pupil at a boy’s school, and now his mother was expecting him every day, and she went about proud and happy, telling her friends of his im- provement in his studies, and always ending with his being such a good boy. Then came a telegram from Willie himself, the first real mes- sage he had ever sent-—how funny it seemed, from that baby—and there was just this simple form, ‘*Meet me in the morning.” Hi: mother went about all day with it in her hand, reading it over as if it lad been in the child own handwriting.

Dr. Griffin, pres- ident of the Wisconsin board of health, who is in charge, told a reporter: “Tuse the very best apimals I can They are most of them short-horna, ani fee, are fat and hearty. I buy them by the car- load, and then am obliged to select, the stock from which J obtain the virus. Out of every consigninent of heifers I buy 1 have to reject a large number.

Their virus is Just as good, but it is more difficult to get a perfect 0] iou from them on account of their tough skine.” The barn was visited; where two men were vaccinating a heifer. She was strapped tightly in a narrow stall. Her taiF was elevated by means of a strap, and the escutcleon, thus ex- posed. was carefully shaved with a razor. Then the animal was vaccinated in ten places upon the butta the scarification—about an inch in diameter—being made with the point of a sharp knife, two extra-sized points being ap- plied to each place. This isa long operation, from. three to five hours being consumed in vaccinatinga single animal, ‘The one operated | on exhibited no signs of discomfort at her treatment beyond an oecasional twitching of her legs. 2 This operation having beeh completed. the process of extracting the virus from another animal was begun. She was a lively little short-horn, and as it was fearéd she would not stand sti!l enough in the stall, a different method of keeping her quiet was used. She was led alongside a table, the top of which was hinged s0 as to permit its taking a perpendicular position. She was firmly strapped to this, and, the top being restored to a_ horizontal position, the animal found herself lying upon her side be- fore she knew it. ‘The sores were washed with warm water. which partially diseolved the scab, which was then easily removed with a pair of pinchers and the open sore exposed, from which the liquid lymph exuded. The ivory points were dipped in this matter, each twice, | and placed on a tray to dry, and the operation was complete. The doctor conducted the reporter through this stable, which was filled with calves in all stazes of sickness, from those freshly vaccina- ted to those whose sores were almost ready to burst. A man was busily currying them with comb and brush. The toilet of Mand 8. could not be performed in a more careful and thorough manner. The floors were swept and washed clean, there being not the slightest trace of sta- ble smell discernible.

Among the charred debris of humanity that have been removed from the ruins of the Ring Theater within the last few days were the re- mains of Henry Samek, the chief of the claque, who, after displaying extraordinary gallantry in rescuing several persons from the galleries © the burning house, lost his life in a valn effort to save—his overcoat! His thorough knowledse of the ing and outs of the theater enabled him to enter it again and again, each time with impu- nity and success, in his heroic purpose, while the conflagration was raging. He had just con- veyed an insensible woman from one of the lob- bles into the balcony overlooking the Hess-Gasse when he suddenly remembered that he had left his surtout hanging from a peg close to the exit from the third gallery, in which part of the house he had been seated when the fire broke out, and forthwith resolved to recover it. One ; of his subordinates entreated him to forego so perilous an enterprise, and even endeavored to keep him back by main force. But Samek, an extremely powerful man, shook him off, ex- claiming, “Nothing can ‘happen to me, for I know the house as well as | know my own pocket,” and vanished into the smoke, never more to eme thence alive. Thus perished the head purveyor of applause to the ill-fated Ring Theater on the of his nightly labors.
