JTRIOAY RVKNINQ, UAV 10, t034, iHc Speculative Mania, it la te ba nssumed that tbe feunda tien of the present trouble In Wall street ' Is the great depreciation suffered In the value of stock during the past two years. It has been n general subject of comment that se great depreciation could have taken place without producing any fall ures among theso engaged In stock buy ing and soiling. The present exporlence ahewB that these failures have simply been postponed. The Marine bank fail ure toppled ever the weak houses, the Immediate pressure being applied by the alarmed banks, which withdrew the borrowing facilities the brokers had been enjoying. It Is said by the sufferers that the banks are always ready te assist in ballooning the market when its tendency is that way, and in sinking lb In times of natural depression ; and no doubt that la the fact. It would be well If bank efllcers were wiser than their genoraWen, and alert at all times iGhTerc'ihk t-UC Observance of prudent rules In their business ; as well when they nre needed as when they de net seem te be required. But bank presi dents and directors are but ordinary business men, and naturally inclined te relax rules In days of calm that they nre disposed te vigorously onferco in days of storm. At present there seems te be abundant need for their caution. After the fail ures that liuve taken place It Is impossi ble te say who is sound. Cities outside of New Yerk nre congratulating them selves that they are free from these- dis asters. But they may be congrat ulating themselves prematurely. The same causes that He at the root of the New Yerk failure prevail generally, and thore is no doubt at all that there are as many unsound buslnts3 houses outside of New Yerk as in it ; and as many weak bmks. "We see no ground whatever for the belief that it is only 2sew Yerk bauks aud bankers who have suffered by a speculative temper that lias prevailed all ever the country and has its results In shrunken fortunes wherever It has prevailed. m m m Oil. Oil Is down with everything else ; but there ii ene satisfaction about It. It Is slippery and Infi trainable aud uncon trollable, but it Is a substance et value ; and of a value that can be estimated by everyone. At sixty-five cents a barrel It is cheap, for It has never, we believe, bsen lower than Dtty cents. It la a useful product which the world need?, and which will always bring something at any rate; unless it burns up or runs away; contingencies against which you can get nu Insurance ; though of course the insurance company may go up ; and they say new tin!; the Standard company Is in a bad way. Hut one point Is that oil Is safer te totte'i thin rallnad stocks, whose value you can never estimate, net being en the Inside. Any day the concern may stei paying dividends, if it ever has paid them ; or step paying interest, if it lias ever indulged in that luxury; anil the stock turn out te be worthless. In fact, it can hardly be otherwise with most of the railroads, since they have only been built te make money for thelt buildere, and their stock repre seuts no value, nnd their bends mighty little. Stock value3 have fallen very much nowadays, but there nre plenty of them selling very high notwithstanding, Hlnct'.cy are Intrinsically worthless. Tub committee en divorce in the gen eral conference of the M. E. church, headed by the governor of the common wealth, has framed a very vigorous re pert, which presents the alarming in crense of diverce and the resulting evils from laxity of the marltnl tie In very vivid colors. The diversity of the law gov erning divorce in the different states is pointed out ai a fruitful source of mis chief nnd scandal. The causes for which divorces may bu decreed, while differing in number in the several states, are in all shockingly numerous, In some there is no limit but the discretion of the judge. The average number of causis in thirty-seven states is ulue. In seven of the states there are ten causes, in thru twelve mid in two fourteen. The high e3t in any state is sixteen, and the lowest four. In thiee, divorces may be granted for any cause sufllclent In the discretion of the judge. Many of the states, in addition, permit partial divorces fur ether causes. Tula is a very deulded enlargement en the XewTestameut doc trine nnd the Methodist committee feels moved 10 recommend Hint its church adept the discipline of the Cattolie euurch, recognizing no divorce as lawful In the sight of Gud except for adultery, wih all that logically fellows from such ft position. This is a radical step toward a Btern reform, and the conference does net seem teady ti take It precipitately, having referred the report te a special committee. The recent revival of Uie preposition te put Grant en ttie retired list -for which he forewent his regular chances, te take the presidency for eight years at $50,000 per annum-is ndmltted te he due entirely te the fact uiai no aim m family are revealed te the pueuc as sen sen cenfessed feels. Indeed they must take refuge in this admission te spare them selves the suspicion of being worse. If ..ii M.n tnnU in the country are te be made subjects of government bounty the pension list will suffer nlarmlug increase nnd the treasury surplus will shrink like Jenah's gourd. If the bigger the feel the bigger the bounty even the Orant family will have competition for first place en the list. - DiETEim:, the butcher, has been dls charged by Judge Allisen, no evidence being produced te connect him with the murder of Stahl. The Philadelphia Judges seem te leek at things with ury different spectacles, as another judge a few dajs age thought the evidence sufll clent te warrant him In refusing te ad mlt the butcher te ball. A reasonable Oeg,ree e.f difference in judicial vision is te be looked for, but thlj was net a rea sonable difference. Jay Gould is said te exeresj sur prise at Western Union stock selliug at fifty. The old sinner feels neue, since he knows well that It is dear .it half the money, aud no doubt he has been selling nil he could of it.

"Cremation I " said the rising Yeung Docter, after he read the Intklueknckii last evening. "Why certaiuly, I'll take a share of the stoek, and glve my body te be burned.

Last Sunday the Christian church, of Mt. Sterling, publicly espelled Corueilson for refuslug te apologize publicly te Held, and for net showing proper repentance. Tuts whetted the excitement and it began te levk as if all Mt. Sterling would ba drawn into the feud. Colonel Ander eon, a wealthy abort horn cattle king, pnb'shed a card sustaining Corueilson and denouncing Held as a hypocrite This was replied te by a mau named Kverett, who accused Andersen of fraud and fcCuiindrelisin, and announced his personal responsibility for his statements. It has been expected that his would pre vo'ie streets tights, as Mt. Sterling is the ceuter of the mountain district where se many tragic feuds have been fought out. Tbe newspapers have fanned the ilarues by free oeranieuts ou Held, whom the church people were Injudiciously upholding. Since tbn tirst excitement evor the assault, it has been generally Bgrced that Held had bhewn a la.k of personal courage, and thlri lias brdught down a storm of con tcrept ujwu him.
