EXPOSING HIS PARTNERS' HAND.

Mr Ormond informed bis conetllaentp at Napier (s*y* the Duneflin •„• Herald") that he would strenuously oppose tha granting to the Government of twelve months' supplies. Now, what does this mean 1 Why, the plain English of it Ib that the member for Napier will do hie utmost to have two sesßions during the year. It means that If Mr Ormond and his friends are permitted to have their own iweet way Parliament will have to bo ■ummoned immediately after the general elections, and the expense of a seoond teuton will be heaped on the shoulders of the debt-ridden people of this oountry. The strangest thing m;, connection with the matter is that the gentleman who has -the "front" to give expression to his Intention of aoting m such an unconsti tutional manner poses at the came time as an economical reformer, and raises the cry of retrenchment. The Opposition organs ha»e aoted wisely m preserving a freezing attitude towards Mr Ormond on this oco3Bßlon. He has exposed the tramp oard of their party, and they are naturally annoyed with him.

DIVORCE IN THE UNITED STATES.

The public can aoaroely bo aware of 1 the extent to which what may be called the minor causes of divorce obtain m the laws of oar various commonwealths. Ex* eepting South Carolina, adultery is a ■ufficient ground for divorce m every State, and m New York it is the only ground. Desertion, cruelty, habitual drunkenness, refusal of husband to sup* port wife, conviction of an infamous crime, and insanity, sre, however, other causes which are ucugnleed. Desertion 1* considered a ground m nearly all the States. The period of desertion neces sary for securing a divorce differs, from one year m eight States to five years ia three. This desertion is defined m Mas sachusetts to be " Utter desertion con tinued for three consecutive years next prior to the filing of the libel ; " m Penn sylvania, •' Wilful and malicious deser tion and absence from the habitation of the other, without reasonable cause, for and during the period of two years " m Ohio, "Wilful absence;" and m Ver mont, "Wilful dcsarticn for three con secutive years, and when either party haa been absent Beven yeara and not heard of during that time." Perßoaal cruelly, furthermore, has also reoently come to have a standing m the courts as a ground of absolute divorce. The statutes have found It diffioult to define cruelty with satisfac tory exactness. "Mere asperity of temper," says Lord Stowell, "petulenceof manners, rudeness of speeoh, a want of civil attention and aooonsmodation, even ocoisional Bailies of pasßion, if they do not threaten bodily harm, do not amount to legal oruelty." A definition quite generally accepted, given by Mr Bishop, ii : "Oruelty is suoh conduct m one of the married parties as, to the reasonable apprehension of the other or m fact, renders cohabitation physically unsafe to a degree justifying withdrawal therefrom. No less than twenty-eight States grant divorces upon this ground. Likewise m twenty-seven States habitual drunkennoes Is a cause for absolute divoroe. Neglect of the husband to provide for a wife is a ground m tea States. Insanity ia re cognised as a cause m only one Stato, Arkansas, though when occurring before marriage it may render the marriage void. It is a shame that m even one State it is recognised. Omnibtis clauses have at times been introduced into the laws of the States. In Connecticut, " For any such misconduct an permanently destroys the happiness of the petitioner and defeats the purpoßeofthe marriage relation ;". m Wisconsin, " When, by reaßon of his con duct toward b her being suoh ai to reader it improper for her to live with him, the Courts are of the opinion it will be discreet and proper to graDt the divoroe." In Florida, Arizona, and Washington Terri tory the law is likewise comprehensive. This question of which we give<the more salient points of law and of fact-, is one of the moat serious which any Court or Legislature 1b aeked to consider; That tha extent to which these minor causes of divorce prevail should be wide has not a little m its favor. When a man and a woman cannot live together m peace, it may be said with much force that they ■hould be allowed to live apart, and with full liberty to contract new alliances. On the other fide, it may be truthfully urged that a family union is often broken through the simple knowledge that a remedy is at hand m the form of a judicial separation. Domestic j*rß are thus fomented. We call attention to this sabjeot, than which none ia more im portant, 1 hough often overlooked, not, of course, to settle it, but to awaken serious thought upon a critical problem of Amerloan life. — " Leslie's Illustrated Paper."

ARE THE STARS PEOPLED

Professor Prootor says : — " It ia almost Impossible to *ay under what conditions life is potsible or impossible- Men of loience have lately been taught this m a very striking manner ; for, judging by what they know of the state of things at the bottom of the deep Bea, they con cluded that there could be no living or eat ares there. They reasoned that the pressure exerted by the water would orueh the life out of any kcown creatures, which was unquestionably true. A piece of the hardest and densest wood Bunk to those depths h/s the water literally forced into its very substance, and the tremen dous mail cf the crocodile, or the thick - skin of the .rhinoceros, would be nnable to resist a tithe of the enormous pressure exerted by the water at the bottom of the deep soao. Yet it is known that qreaturca'not only exist down there, but that, notwithstanding the great darkness that must prevail there, these creatures are provided with tho means of eeeiug; So unlike they are to all other oreaf urep, Ijowcyer, that they ate unable to live out ~ "of their native depths, and when dragged up by the dredgers, they are burst asuider and are kiiled long before reach m? the snrfoce. This should teach us that al though it may be proved that m some inaccessible world, like Venus, or any of her fellow planet", tho conditions which prevail are not such as would be oon venient to terreatial cresturcß, or are even, such as do creatures known to us coaloV endure pven for a few minutss, \>£e may ' neverth 19? exist. It is indeed tole/ably certain t bat if there be living creatures m Venue (« for my part I little doubt), and. if among these orea tares there be any which poises* reasoning powers such as ours (which is nut «-, certain), it must ap pear to each reasoning beings m Venus at least as difficult to understand how oar earth can be inhabited as we find It to conceive what nature of creatures. they may be which exist m Venus,"
