Hans is oid enough to be Elizabeth's grandfather, and she is not yet out of her twenties. The conjugai state had existed Sev ern) years when the young wife ap piied to the Circuit court iast neck for a decree of divorce, and Judge Wiiiiatn H. Utz granted Hie petition. The Arentzcns were married in Sa vannah. Mo., in ]p2i. and have iived .together in St. Joseph ever since.

Arentzen ioved his wife and ite cou!d not hear to entirety give her up. tie feared if si.e were ieft to her own way evii or misfortune might overtake iter. He was witting to retease her from the obiigatfon of wife, but wanted her companionship in the home. He hud accumulated some property and wished her to have the beneSt of it if she should outiive him, which he conceded te be more than probable. They iaid the case before Judge Wiiiiam K. Amick, a former Circuit judge who is noted for his success in adjusting dif ferences between married people, and he advised a divorce, to be {oiiowed by the adoption by Arentzen of Mrs. Arentzen as his daughter. Judge Amick's suggestion met with ' the instant favor of Mr. and Airs. Arentzen. The wife's petition for di vorce was promptly granted, as the husband did not answer in court.

Arentzen as daughter than site was as wife. She is privileged to receive such company as she wishes, and it is no ticeabie that eaiiers at the house tire of a much younger set than they were when site was a married wotitan. Friends of the two say they seem happy under the new arrangement and none have been heard to disap prove of it. $7,000,000 Botanical Garden for New York New' York.—The hoard of managers of the New York botanicai garden an nounced adeveiopment i.t grttta in voking an uitimate outiay of $7,000, 000 and designed to make the institu tion a mode] for the worid.
