It is announced from Rome that Pope Leo XII has promulgated an encyclical against divorce. The reaffirmation of the well known position held by the Roman Catholic Church on this question at this time is explained, no doubt, in view of the efforts now put forth in France to pass a law sanctioning and authorizing divorce in that country on prescribed conditions. The Catholic Church forbids divorce, and far some sixty years the laws of France have been in conformity with the views of that church on this question. But under the republic liberal views have been gaining ground, and among other fruits of such progress may be noted a growing sentiment against the iron- bound marriage system which forbids divorce for any cause. The Catholic Church will not recognize marriage as a civil contract, but regards it as a sacra ment, and therefore refuses to sanction any act of a State annulling the mar riage bond, declaring that only the death of one of the parties can free a husband or wife from marriage obligations and place the one or the other in a position to contract another marriage. Such di vorces as have been sanctioned by the Catholic Church have been on the ground that those marriages were void from the beginning. That was the case with the divorce of Napoleon I. and his wife Josephine, the ingenuity of some one having discovered some technical formality prescribed by the council of Trent had been violated in the original ceremony. The Buffalo Courier cites, as another instance, the more recent an nulment of the marriage of the Prince of Monaco. The encyclical of the Pope is aimed also at civil marriages which, as we have said, arc not recognized by the church. Mr. Douglass Campbell, one of the most devoted students of the history of the State of New York, who is engaged upon a work of original research illus trating it, read an exceedingly interest ing paper the other evening before the Historical Society upon the Indians in colonial New York. His paper is a striking presentation of the claim that the colonial policy of New York wa3 not only just to tbo Indians, but that it was of the utmost value to to English ascendency upon this continent, and to the Union. The colonists “simply treated the Indian as a man.” They took nothing but by purchase, and their land titles were respected, because for their lands they had Indian deeds. The Dutch colonists were traders, and made no pretense of missionary work. After the English conquest the Indians ¡»laced their lands under the protection of the crown. During the French war the col onists defended them against the French and during the Revolution the Indians were the allies of Great Britain, and for the first time made war upon the colo nists. Except for this policy of the British colony, which secured the alliance of the Six Nations, who remained faithful, it is not impossible that France might have won in the great contest of more than a century which was waged with England for the control of the continent, and which Mr. Parkman is so brilliently and exhaustively narrating in his historical series of France in America. Mr. Campbell shows further how this colonial Indian policy affected the Union. The Six Nations and their land west of the Alleghanies had always been recognized by the other colonies as be longing to New York. But when the articles of confederation were to be signed, Virginia and Massachusetts and Connecticut claimed the territory under various charters. Maryland refused to join the confederacy until the dispute was settled. Then New York, with patriotic magnanimosity, presented the northwest territory to the Union, and the confederation was completed by the accession of Maryland. The three States still maintained their claim, but a committee of Congress reported that the sole title was in New York, and that her deed would vest it wholly in the United States. This is an exceedingly interesting chapter of the annals of New York, and Mr. Campbell is plainly the man to complete the history which Mr. Broadhead unfortunately left unfinished. A sanguinary duel has been fought at Onancock, Vu, lately, between two women, which resulted in the probable fatal wounding of both. Miss Louisa Wise and Miss Margaret Downing had for some time excited much comment in the village because of their jealous quar rels over the attentions of a young man named Benjamin Young. On one or two occasions they had como to blows in his presence, and were only restrained from seriously injuring each other by the efforts of Young. This young man seems to have been in doubt as to which of the maidens possessed his heart, and temporized with them and had little dif ficulty in convincing each that she was the object of his admiration. At length lie went to a party with Miss Wise, and while dancing with her the assem blage was thrown into intense excite ment by the sudden appearance of Miss Downing, who, in a tragic manner, stalked up to the couple and forbid her lover to dance with her rival. As she stood facing the couple, with her eyes inflamed with passisn, it was thought that violence would be the next act in the drama. Suddenly, however, with a piercing shriek, she sank to the floor in a swocn, frothing at the mouth as though suffering from an epileptic fit. She was removed hy her friends, end Young and Miss Wise withdrew. The following day Miss Wise received a note from Miss Downing, requesting her to call upon her, as she wished to see her about an important matter. Miss Wise went to her rival’s house as requested. She entered the yard, walked around to the kitchen entrance, pushed open the door, and stepping in side, saw her rival seated by the stove, with her head resting moodily upon her hand When Miss Downing caught sight of Miss Wise she sprang to her feet, and seizing a stout club, rushed at her, shrieking with rage. Miss Wise ran into the yard, and seeing the other following, she picked up a pitchfork, and facing her enraged rival, warned her to stand off. Miss Downing ex claimed : “All right; we will fight now. You have a weapon, so have L” Both being strong, healthy, country girls, they found no difficulty in wield* ing their weapons. As Miss Downing rushed at the other, she was met by the three-tined fork, which was driven into her breast. The next instant she struck Miss Wise a stunning blow on head which staggered her, and followed it up by a second blow which felled her to the ground. Miss Wise soon regained her feet, and assuming the offensive, im paled Miss Downing’s hands on the prongs of the fork. Again she received a stunning blow on the head from the club, which felled her to the ground. While in this position she thrust the pitchfork into Miss Downing’s face, making three terrible wounds. By this time both were weakened by loss of blood.and dropped to the ground insen sible. In this position they were found by some neghbors, who gave the alarm. Dr. Drummond was summoned and was soon in attendance. Both girls were terribly injured, Miss Downing having been wounded fourteen times by the pitchfork, and Miss Wise shockingly bruised and beaten about the head. They are now suffering from a high fe ver, and the physician has little hope of their recovery. In lucid intervals they gave the particulars of the fight, and at the same time each begged piteously to see Mr. Young. The latter, evidently not relishing the notoriety into which he was brought by the strange infatuation of the two girls, has left town, and no trace of him can be discovered. The affair has caused the most intense excite ment here, and the usually quiet little town has been in a turmoil since the par ticulars of the fight were made public. Tricks of Memory. Too much to do, besides its direct ef fect on the busy worker, exposes him to certain inconveniences apt to escape the notice of others. One of these is the ef fect produced on his memory. Ono who leads a rushing life, who has to hurry from one thing to another, and from one person to another without a moment’s interval, cannot have a vivid remem brance of many things that happen in bis experience. He is necessarily liable to forget, in a way that another cannot understand. Many a busy physician has found himself at times in serious trouble from tliis cause. He has made a prom ise to a patient, but before the promise had hardened in his memory, some ex citing case has hurried him away, oblit erated the impression, thus the promise forgotten. Author’s memories have been known from a similar cause to play them strange tricks. We know an author who was engaged in writing a book amid many other absorbing occu pations. For some weeks the book had to be laid aside. When leisure came, he resumed it, as ho thought, at the point where he had broken it off, and got through a considerable chapter, when to his mingled amazement and amusement, he found in his drawer an other manuscript, almost precisely sim ilar, the existence of which he had quite forgotten. So strange and incredible are these tricks of memory, that some times the most honest of men, if exam ined in a court of justice, would hardly be believed. The non mi ricordo would hardly be accepted by those who have had little experience of the difficulty of carrying in the memory impressions whieh have not had time to photograph themselves on its tablets, or have been blurred by other impressions following too quick.—Macmillan’s Magazine." The Vanderbilt Estate. Tn the late suit of Cornelius J. Van derbilt to recover a due proportion of his father’s estate, it was finally settled that he should receive the avails for life of §400,000; the property to be placed in the hands of Edwin D. Wor cester, a3 trustee; the principal to be disjiosed of by will by Cornelius ; and if agreed upon by the two brothers and the trustee, the principal to be placed in the hands of Cornelius, to be used by him in his own way. Cornelius lately asked his brother to place §200,000 of the principal in his (Cornelius’) hands. William declined to comply with that request. Then Cornelius applied to Judge Donohue to have William re moved from any control over the trust fund, as the possession ot §200,000 of the principal was necessary in order to afford him capital for conducting busi ness enterprises—his health and comfort demanding that he should enter into active business. He averred that he and his brother William were the only surviving sons of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt; that William is worth now over §100,000,000, and that it would not injure his business interests to part with the control of the trust. The Judge de clined to grant the petition to Cornelius. New York Public Schools. One expenditure of nearly four mil lions of dollars seems very large for one year, even for a city which lias more than a million of inhabitants, but there was no money taken from the city treas ury last year which served a better pur pose than the §3,805,147 55 which went for the maintenance of our public schools. Of the whole expenditure §2,- 604,686 was for teachers’ salaries, and the number of children taught was 241,- 918 in the city schools, and 22,245 in the corporate schools. The cost of edu cation per capita lias decreased somewhat in recent years, and the increase of the expense of instruction does not keep pace with the increase of the number who are taught. The expenditure of §182,242 for sites, buildingsand repairs, should not be reduced until the quarter of a million of children who attend school in this city are provided with better school accommodation, The crowding in many of the schools and the lack of ventilation are two of the evils which should be removed, but whose re moval will require large expenditures for years to come. The public schools of New York are not falling below the high standard which they have long maintained, and the instruction they furnish is generally satisfactory; but there is room for progress, and the edu cational system of New York should furnish a still better example for the educators of the nation. There will be little grumbling over the payment of the school tax if taxpayers are made to un derstand that the money they pay is being economically used to give every child the means of the best education which a public school system can afford. —N.

The Sun, of whose proof-room he had charge, in speaking ef his death, says that he was known to read a proof sheet aloud at the rate of 696 words a minute, or 41,760 words an hour. He was forty years of age, and when, only thirteen years old he began his exper ence in a printing office as a “copy boy” at Gray’s establishment in Cliff street.

Edgar A. Poe’s Watch. R. W. Albright writes from Fort Madison, Iowa, to the Chicago Time« aa follows: I have in my possession the gold watch of Edgar A. Poe, the history of which is as f st In the year« 1840-41-42, Edgar A t’ c had become indebted to my L.e !. r John W. Al bright, then a merchant tailor doing business in the city of Philadelphia. He had given several notes for the «et- tlement, together with the watch in trust, which remained in my brother’s hands until 1845, when it passed to an* other brother, H. A Albright, of 8t Louis, and at his death was given to my mother, who at that time and up to her death, was residing with me. A jury m Dodge county, Neb., gave a judgment for §2,800 for the plaintiff in a suit where it wa3 plainly shown there was no claim at all. The explanation was that one of the jury had slept dur ing the hearing of the testimony, an other had been reprimanded by the Judge for eating peanuts ’and wanted to get even with him; and another ad vanced and carried through the argu ment that the defendants being agent« of the Pacific Railroad, and the railroad being an object of hostility owned by non-residents, while the plaintiffs were local residents, it was their duty there fore to decide for their own citizens, and defend their homes. This patriotic appeal settled the case. - ■ ■ Recipe for making pantaloons last— Make the coat and vest first.
