The marriage ceremony in Japan consists of the man and woman drinking wine from the same cup. Divorce is not much more elaborate than marriage. The husband gives the wife a piece of paper with a few characters on it, and the knot is untied. A translation of the line is given by a correspondent, as follow : "I no likee yon. I tmkee yon likee other man more better. I give you a piece paper. You can go. G-oodee bye." Great consternation has been excited in the musical circles in England, especially in that of the Roman Catholic Church, by the promulgation of a circular order from Archbishop Mantling to the clergy of the diocese, prohibiting the employment of female vocalists in their own church choirs after September next. The order is said to be peremptory. A- man in Davenport,. lowa, offers through the columns of a local paper to give 50 dollars to any man who will elope with his wife.
