DEAF.—A Person cured of Deafuess and noises in the head of 23 years' standing by a Simple Remedy, will send a description of it free to any person who applies to Nicholson, 65 William street, Melbourne. Rev. Mr. Brusbingham, a Caicago minister, said in a recent sermon that there are more divorced people north of Mason and Dixon's line than there are Mormons in Utah. ODramenting on this, the Chicago Times says :—": —" No teaching of Christianity is open to less controversy than the plain utterance of the Mister himself concerning divorcement, yet In the majority of so-callel evangelical churches the doctrine is set at naught. Divorced persona who have re-married are made welcome in these churches, and ministers consent to perform the marriaee ceremony, an act cf God in the religious view, with persons as parties who ara ineligible according to the teachm? of Christ for such union." Chicago is a pretty good field for missionary work ia this direction. A well-kiown lawyer in that city has admitted that he h-is procured hunlreds of divorces by fraudulent collusion between the interested parties; and there is something besides the usual extravagance of Amsric >n humour in the story of the Chicago judge who said that anybody who would commit bigamy, when he could procure a regular divorce in ten minutes, ought to be sent to gaol for life. — Pilot.
