At that timo tho fortune of Groat liritain was estimated at ?45,000,000,000; of France, about S40,000,000,000, and of Germany, £35,000,000,000. Tho United States aro also, notwithstanding tho immenso sacrifices made during tlio war oi robelion, in tlio most prosperous financial situation of any in tlio world. Tho commercial imports and exports ol America,about §1,500,000,000 per annum, do not como up to those of England—53,- 000,000,000—but thoy nearly equal thoas of Franco and Gormany. Tho morchanC marino of tho Republic ranks noxt U that of England. Tho United States possess tho most extonsivo telegraph, systom in tho world, and tho Amorica* postal-servico excoods all others in its d®« velopmetit.Thorearo 57,370 post-ollloositt tho United States, and over 310 000 miles of postal routo; whilo tho nearest approach to this aro tho IS, 5Sil t-offlce* of Germany, which has 51,000 miles ol postal routes. Last year more than 3,576,000,000 letters and printed documents of all Mnds wore sent by American post-oflleea, costing 850,000,000 for the postal operations. Such prosperity may bo c.'slly explained by tho fact ot tho groat area" of tho eountr which aro so fitted to rccolvo a dense population; and by tho consideration that so many of tho American colonists uro recruited from tho most enterprising aYlfi courageous c.f Europeans. Another factor Is the lessor military budget which tho United States iu required to support, and tho few men kept from the pursuits of peace in tho maximum ot their strength. Tho sovero military eystome of tho Old World, which force innumerable immigrants to leave, aro not necessary hero, for wo liavo not, liko European nations, had race struggles to establish ourselves in now territories, l'oaco has bro>.»ht us prosperity, and lot us hope th.' our continued ju'osperity will ji.ntinuo to us peace.— Pomore it Monthly. the financial condi> who hin „ j li :-c me sotoite parativ ™ that thoy m-o swallowefl up in (1 nmenso mass of Anglo-Ger» mans, 000; now it exceeds inhabitants.

Tho Fren It is well to modify tho statement that tho noedlo points north and south; as a matter of fact there aro hut few localities on tho earth it does point due north and south, and theso aro constantly changing. An irregular lino drawn from tho mouth of tho Orinoco river through tho east coast of Ilayti, Charleston, S. C., and Detroit, Mich., represents vory nearly tho lino in which thero is no variation at the present time. In all places east of this lino tho north end of the noedlo swings slightly to tho westward; in all places ivost of it to tho eastward. At the mouth of tho Columbia river tho variation of tho compass is about 22 deg. east; in Alaska it is from 40 to CO deg. east; midway between Now York and Liverpool it is about 35 deg. west. Tho compass noodle points north becauso practically tho oarth is a magnet, not differing essentially in its magnetic properties from a bar of magnetized steel. It has two poles of greatest intensity, and, liko most largo stocl magnets, there aro several supplemental polos of lesser intensity. Just as tho polo of ono bar magnet attracts tho end of another, so tho magnet poles of tho earth bohavo toward polos of tho compass-noedlo, unliko polos attracting, and liko polos ropeling each other. North l'olo Why It PerrfifttM in Pointing Toward tlifl Tho reason is that the compass needlo points not to tho ideographical, but te tho magnetic polos, and theso do not coincide in position. Tho magnotio north polo is at present on or near tho northwestern shore o£ Boothia peninsula, in tho northern part ol North Amorica. Its position is constantly changing, and in tho last 000 years it has moved about half tho distanco round tho geographical polo. During a period of 300 years, in which observations havo been carefully mado at tho Magnotio observatory in Paris, the variations havo changed from 11 deg. 20 min. oast of north to 23 deg. 10 mln. west. In tho United States tho rato of tho chango in variation differs much in difforont parts of tho country. In Washington Stato it chances at tho rato of about 7 mln. a year; in Arizona and Now Mexico it is stationary; in tho New England States it is from 1 to 8 min. per year.—American Notes and Queries.

That wo, tho undersigned, and ' , liis wife (beforo marriago to liim ' ), do hereby mutually covenant, promise and agree to dissolve all tho relations which liavo hithorto existed between us as husband and wife, and to keep ourselves se parate and apart from each other from this time forth. 'Know all persons by those presents Decrees of church divorces are made ;ouit in triplicate, the original remaining tho church records, and the two 'copies 'being given to the man and worn;an. The form of the church decreo is 'as follows: —, Bishop—th Ward. i W. II. was appointed to see that the jwookly payments bo made as far as could ,bo conscientiously done. [ Tho clork was authorized to make throe copies of these minutes and present tho samo for signature, and seo that O. and wife each pet a copy. Dismissed by W. C. Tho Bishop docidod that ho turn over the best house of tho two for his wife's use, anil as soon as possible got tho prosjent occupant to movo to another place; I that ho allow hor six dollars per wook and find her in sufficient flour and fuol; I that ho lot hor havo tho sojving-ma'chine, cooking-stovo and an equal share of tho furniture, and that tho fruit of tho orchard bo fairly divided.

Aftor stating some grievances sho had, tho following woro mado out as tho sum charges against her husband, viz.: Willful neglect and general abuse of herself and family; ill-treatment and flogging of their children, causing them to leave their homo; not proporly providing for them, and a desiro on hor part for a separation between them. jAlso, in reply to tho Bishop, sho stated she wanted one of tho two houses to live in by hor3olf; to be allowed a woekly stipulation for horself and that tho children be placed under her chargo and care, j G. refuted tho chargo of unmorciful flogging, and stated that ho provided for his family to tho best of his means; .that ho was willing to do what was just and right; to give his wifo tho bosi liouso of tho two to 11 vo in, and abido by the Bishop's docision. Church divorco is a logical result of the doctrino of plural and celestial marriago. Plv. • .1 wives would bo badly off if there wa". not sorao way of throwing oif a g;:' .ng yoke. Besides this, people marrii .1 for etornity, if it was not for t'ao church divorco, would bo }efttled together for the next world, although they obtained absolute divorco jln a olvU oourt. Parties sealed for eternity, after obtaining a civil court divorco, must be unsealed by the church {or else they will find themselves still joined together in the resurrection, j Mormons who have been spiritually and then divorced by tho civil courts may remarry for this world. But jthe women can not remarry for eternity without being unsealed from the former ■union. Murder, adultery, infantiolde 'and incompatibility of temper are tho jgrounds upon which the Mormon churoh grants divorces. Mormon divorces aro granted by tho president of the churoh after tho Bishop of tho ward in which the parties llv.o has made an investigation of tho caso and has reported in favor of tho application. The Bishop's first jduty is to effect a reconciliation. If jthat is impossible ho arranges tho terms of the separation. Tho following is tho official record of a church divorco rase: Mormons recognize two classes of divorces, as well as two kinds of marriages, writes a correspondent of the at Louis Globe-Democrat from Salt Lake City, U. T. One separates for life; the other tor the future state. For divorces of husbands and first wives the civil courts aro resorted to. Plural wives have no standing in civil courts. This was decided by tho United States Supremo Court in tbo case brought by Ann Eliza against Brigham Young. The only divoroo romody for plural wives is through tho church. Being invested with supremo authority to unite, tho president of tho church can unloosen. Divorce Case* Copy of the Official Record of « Church fjl B. MOEEISON, D. D. 8. r)R. W. J.

What success has fallen to the lot of Yassili Vercstchagin (born 18-12) is duo to the tendency of his work rather than to its purely artistic merit. Verestchagin, so far as ho is knswn to tho public of both hemispheres, is abovo all thing's a sensational painter who never forgets that ho is essentially a humanitarian philosopher, a would-bo solver of gravo political and social problems, a theorist and a polemist who expounds and combats with paint in the placo of ink, a portentous St. Michael who strives to kill tho Dragon of War by plunging down its throat tho lance of humanity. Tho impression produced by Verostchagin's pictures of tho horrors and realities of war has been immense wherever ho has exhibited them. At Vienna tho impatience of tho populace to soo them was even so great that horse-guards had to bo placed round tho doorsof tho Kunstlorhaus in order to presorvo order, lint with all these fearful representations of the horrors of Plevna and Tashkcml, Verestcliagin has never achieved a purely-artistic success, for tho simple reason that ho is not primarily an artist or a painter, but a traveler, an ethnographer, a philosopher of tho "Nihilist" species, a victim of tho abuse of analysis. 1 lis pictures of tho wars in Central Asia and in Bulgaria, his souvenirs of China, India and Palestine, his innumerable studies of human types, are curious and valuablo documonts indeed, rich in facts of form and color, and in material for moral and social deductions; but we look to them in vain for nest! tic pleasure, such as wo find in contetv latino a simple portrait by Rem bra Ti dt. a suave vision of beauty by Botticelli, or a thick-lipped infanta by Velasquez. In all Verostchagin's work, that which gives us true aesthetic pleasure is hero and there a swift and delicate-painted study some Oriental horseman speeding across a parched plain, or a note of calm and fatalist Eastern types against tho backgri -ml of a faience-walled mosqe. In tin o studies Verestcliagin gives proof -f wonderful precision of eye.—Theodt. Child, in Harper's Ma .'azine. •  $oUtf. TJINHIB HOTEL, T. E. BENNIB, Proprietor, Punxsattwney, Pa.
