COURT DRESSMAKERS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES.

It seems that in spite of all our legislative effOrts
on their behalf, the workwomen employed by our
fashionable dressmakers are still liable to ex-
cessive demands upon their labour. Two
cases have just come before the metropolitan
police courts which illustrate the hardships to
Which they are often subjected, and the difficulty of
protecting them. A. dressmaker in Park-street,
Grosvenor-square, who was in the habit of using
•6 rather strong " language to her people gene-
rally, was fined 40s. and costs for overwork-
ing and otherwise ill-treating a young woman
in her employ. A visit paid by the Government
Inspector greatly incensed the dressmaker, who
apparently suspected the plaintiff of having had some-
thing to do with his visit, and instead of the legal
interference being an advantage to the girl, it
was rather a drawback to her. In the
other case the dressmaker seemed to be
much less tyrannical. Still there could be no doubt
that she had allowed her girls to work over hours,
and she-could only plead on her behalf the old story,
that the orders came in at such short notice. If nothing
will make our dressmakers more scrupulous, neither
will anything, it seems, render our ladies of fashion more
considerate. They must, by this time, be perfectly
aware that when they send an elaborate order to
their dressmakers to be executed at a day or two's
notice, they are indulging their caprices at the cost

of other women's health, rest, and comfort. The
dressmaker, in excusing herself by the
peremptory nature of her orders, said she was
unwilling to give the names of her customers. The
magistrate justly. observed that any lady deserved
public obloquy who gave orders involving a breach
of the law. He might have added that any lady who
could be so wilfully cruel and unjust as to inflict
unnecessary hardships on workwomen deserved a
sterner reprobation than for a breach of law.

INDIA.

The Indian Government have offered a reward of £5OO
for the discovery of the perpetrators of the fire which
caused the destruction of the ship Aurora.
Intelligence received at Calcutta from the North-west
frontier announces that fresh disturbances have broken
out among the Wuzerees.

ITALY AND PORTUGAL.
It is reported that the difficulties between Italy and
Portugal are in course of arrangement, and that the new
Portuguese Minister, Signor Aldini, will be received by
the King.

SLAVERY IN BRAZIL.
The question of emancipation is being actively discussed
in the Chamber of Deputies at Rio de Janeiro. Two bills
proposing that in future all children of slave parents shall
be born free have been introduced and a special com-
mittee appointed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—THis DAr.

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT AND ASSAULT.—George Cook,
a bootmaker, was charged before Mr. Benson at Marl-
borough-street Police-court with being drunk, disorderly,
and assaulting Richard Edwards, in the employ of Messrs.
Roberts and Edwards, furniture dealers, near Wardour-
street, Soho. The complainant said that on the previous
afternoon the prisoner entered his employers' shop, and
demanded the sum of £5, which he said one of the clerks
owed a loan office. No one knowing anything of the
prisoner he was requested to leave the shop, when he
refused to do so. As it was then observed that
the prisoner was drunk, and there were several ladies in
the shop, the prisoner was put out, when he returned and
kicked him and knocked him against a cabinet on which
there was 100 guineas worth of china. He was then given
into custody. The prisoner said he knew he had done
wrong, and that he ought to have gone out when re-
quested. Mr. Benson said it was very gross misconduct,
and inflicted a fine of 20s or seven days.
A JUVENILE SHOPLIFTER.—Sarah Ann Jackson, aged
16 years, was brought up at the Thames Police-court,
charged with stealing three rings and two earrings, the
property of David Davids, a dealer in fancy goods, No.
48, Commercial-road. The prisoner came to his shop
yesterday afternoon and looked at a large quantity of
articles, but she did not buy anything. She then drew
his attention to two men in the street, and said she did not
want to be seen by them. She was advised to go to the
back part of the shop, where she remained a short time,
and left. After she had gone he missed two pairs of ear-
rings and three rings, in all about 18s. He went after
her, but did not find her. He then gave information to
the police. This morning he saw her go by his shop and
gave her in charge. In answer to the magistrate he said
he had often seen the prisoner loitering about, but
had no suspicion of her. He thought she was a respectable
' girl. The prisoner WM remanded for a week.

LADIES' DRESSES.

Republican simplicity is in danger of corruption,
and the pockets of American husbands are threatened
by the encroachments of resthetic dressmakers.
Hitherto Paris has been considered the head-
quarters of artistic modistes, male and female, but
the city of Boston, with the enterprise and go-
ahead spirit which is the special characteristic
of American genius, is determined to
make a bold bid for superiority. A case
recently tried in the Superior Court of Boston has
drawn the attention of aspiring wives and despairing
husbands to that part of the world. Mrs. Flynt,
described in the newspapers as a distinguished
dressmaker, sued a Mr. Coolidge for 1,911 dollars,
being an account for dresses supplied to that gentle-
man's wife. The plaintiff boasted that no woman in
Boston cot& make dresses equal in taste and beauty to
the elaborate dresses constructed for Mrs. Coolidge.
The paniers and flounces were unapproachable
iii style, the silks, the satins, and the laces were the
produce of the most cunning workmanships, fairy
fingers had assisted in the gorgeous architecture, and
" all the world wondered" at the tout ensemble of
the design. Witnesses were called on both
sides, and on both sides there was nothing but an
agreement to differ. Mrs. Flynt's supporters said
the charges were moderate. Mr. Coolidge's friends
said the charges were monstrous ; and the unfortunate
jury, like the proverbial donkey, for four-and-twenty
hours, could decide nothing. Some of them believed
in the aristocratic name of Flynt with a y ; others
sympathised with the democratic Coolidge with an
and matters remain in state quo waiting for more
light.

large numoer or men were arrested at Uork last night,
and were brought before the magistrates to-day. All
those who were shewn to have taken part in the riots were

EXPLOSION IN A COLLIERY.

An explosion occurred at the new colliery of Messrs.
Knowles and Sons, Little Lever, on Wednesday, by which
two men, named John Howcroft and William Norris, were
injured. Howcroft is not expected to recover. Besidee
being badly burned about the face both his bawls are
mutilated, and he has also sustained a compound fracture
of the left arm.

k.CTION AGAINST A RAILWAY COMPANY.
In the Court of Queen's Bench the case of
Water v. Lord Sondes and others was called on.
This was an action to recover damages for alleged
fraudulent representations made by the defendants,
who were the directors of the London, Dover, and
Chatham Railway, in certain reports and balance-sheets
of the state and condition of . the company's financial
position. The case had been specially fixed for yesterday,
and report had stated it to be a six days' cause at
least, and but second in importance that of Overend,
Gurney, and Co. At the sitting of the court, and
before the jury was called, the counsel conferred together
for about a quarter of an hour, the result of which was a
compromise. The Solicitor-General said the parties had
come to terms, and his lordship and the jury would not be
troubled with the investigation.

INDIAN CADETSHIPS.

Mr. SALT asked the Under Secretary of State for India
what number of cadetships would in future be allotted
annually to the sons of officers who had served in the
Indian army ; what was the number of applications for
cadetships at present outstanding and unsatisfied ; and,
whether a preference was given to the sons of officers who
had fallen in action.
Mr. GRANT-DUFF replied that eight commissions would
be allotted to the sons of Indian officers for the next two
or three years, until the reduction of the army was car-
ried. About 200 applications were now unsatisfied. A
preference was given to the sons of officers who had fallen
in action, but the merits of the father were only one ele-
ment in the consideration of the claims of the son.

IRISH MILITIA.
Colonel FRENCH asked the Secretary of State for War
if, after abolishing the quartermaster of the Irish militia
regiments, he was now about to reduce one-half the num
ber of sergeants serving on their staff.
Mr. CARDWELL said that the quartermasters of the Irish
militia would be treated exactly as those in England and
Scotland, that was, that the privilege of a retiring allow-
ance had been acccrded to them; but in future years the
office of quartermaster would be abolished in the militia-
With regard to the sergeants on the permanent staff,
considering how long it was since the Irish militia has
been out, it had not been thought necessary to fin up the
vacancies, and it was proposed to let them remain un-
filled

THE PROPERTY LAW IN JERSEY.

Persons who contemplate purchasing landed property in
the island of Jersey will do well to meditate on the follow-
ing case, which was heard before the Royal Court of that
island on Monday :—One Edward Mauger, a farmer,
occupying his own land, having fallen into pecuniary dif-
ficulties in the year 1868, took the benefit of the law
on the " Remise des Biens." By this law a person
obtains protection from legal process for a period vary-
ing from three to twelve months, to enable him to pay his
creditors. If he fails to do so two of the judges are
appointed to sell the property, and pay all the debts due
upon it. In virtue of this arrangement the two judges
appointed sold a portion of Mauger's property to one
Mr. Philip le Sueur, for the sum of £6O, and
applied it in the discharge of a portion of the liabilities.
Before they could sell the remainder, however, a d6cret
(fiat of bankruptcy) was issued against the property by
M. Hocquard, who had a mortgage on it. According to
the Jersey law, all property purchased within a prescribed
period anterior to a dkret must revert to the original
estate for the benefit of all the creditors, no matter how
safely the purchase may have been made. In this in-
stance Mr. Le Sueur purchased from the two
judges appointed by the court to sell the pro-
perty, and naturally expected he was making a
sure bargain. Not so, however. Mr. Hoc-
quard stepped in and asked the court to annul the
deed of sale as being invalid in the eye of the law. The
Court decided that as the remainder of the estate was not
sufficient to satisfy the claims of the creditors, the deed
must be annulled. The Attorney-General, who pleadedfor
Mr. Le Sueur, asked what his clientwas to do to recover the
purchase money which he had paid to the two members of
the court. The bench made no reply to the question, and
Mr. Le Sueur was left to meditate on the glorious uncer-
tainty of the property law of Jersey.

THE HALL OF SCIENCE IMPROVEMENT BILL.

Mr. Ayrton is a bold man, but he has by this time
found out that boldness is by no means a virtue if
untempered by discretion. The attempt to hood-
wink the House of Commons into a belief that
his " Bill for the Improvement of Kensington-road,"
would be a great public advantage has met with signal
failure, and the First Commissioner of Works has been
compelled to excuse himself as best he could. The
proposed bill, which would have sacrificed a valuable
piece of ground for the benefit of the shareholders of
the gigantic hall now being erected at Kensington,
may be numbered with the things of the past, and
Mr. Ayrton has received a lesson which it is to be
hoped will make him more careful for the future.

DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES AT THE LIVER-
POOL COLLEGE.
At the distribution of prizes at the Liverpool College
on Thursday the Dean of Chester, the former principal
of the institution, claimed credit to the college for having
solved the religious difficulty in education. Though the
religious teaching therein was in harmony with the Church
of England, yet, owing to the forbearance and liberality
extended to dissenters, about 30 per cent. of such attended
the schools. In middle class schools there would be no
religious difficulty if a considerate spirit prevailed, and
in the lower schools he believed the conscience clause of
nature would instinctively act as a protection.

LUNACY AND ITS CAUSES.

The increase of lunacy in Scotland is the subject
of comment in the report of the General Board of
Commissioners in Lunacy for that part of the king-
dom. Without denying that over excitement of the
intellect or feelings is not unfrequently an element
in the production of mental disease, the commis-
sioners are convinced that the proximate
cause of insanity is, in the great majority
of- cases, caused by imperfect nutrition. It is
pointed out that the great development of the
asylum system of accommodation in European
countries has run parallel with the disproportionate
increase of the population of towns, and it is con-
sidered probable that one of the principal causes of
the great increase of pauper lunatics can be accounted
for in the accumulation of the lower classes in
large towns under circumstances that have a delete-
rious effect on their bodily vigour, and as a sequence
on their mental condition. In spite of the efforts
made to improve the dwellings of the masses, and
other social reforms having a tendency to mitigate
the evils which follow in the wake of poverty, mor-
tality, crime, pauperism, and lunacy increase with
such rapid strides that the social economist is puzzled
as to the means by which this unhealthy state of
things can be arrested. A broad-based system of edu-
cation is recommended by the Lunacy Commissioners,
and it is argued with reason that a diffusion of the
knowledge of those physical laws on which the
existence of a healthy body depends would lead to a
vast improvement in the condition of affairs. No
doubt a system of the kind would require immense
exertions on the part of our legislators, and consider-
ing the difficulties that seem to thrust themselves in
the path of a scheme of primary education, the pros-
pect is rather gloomy. There is, however, no reason
to despair of the solution of a question whose
urgency is admitted on all sides.

THE HALL OF SCIENCE IMPROVEMENT BILL.

Mr. Ayrton is a bold man, but he has by this time
found out that boldness is by no means a virtue if
untempered by discretion. The attempt to hood-
wink the House of Commons into a belief that
his " Bill for the Improvement of Kensington-road,"
would be a great public advantage has met with signal
failure, and the First Commissioner of Works has been
compelled to excuse himself as best he could. The
proposed bill, which would have sacrificed a valuable
piece of ground for the benefit of the shareholders of
the gigantic hall now being erected at Kensington,
may be numbered with the things of the past, and
Ayrton has received a lesson which it is to be
hoped will make him more careful for the future.

Prince Leopold is understood to be again seriously
ill.

The License Amendment League has held a con-
ference in Hull, which was attended by the may.or and
the principal clergy of the town. Letters were read from
the Archbishop of York, the Rev. Canon Brooke, and
others, in support of the object of the meeting, and reso-
lutions were passed urging on Parliament and the public
the necessity of amending the Liquor Laws.
The death is announced of the Rev. Alfred Butler
Clough, who fifty years ago wl,s well known at Oxford.
He was educated at Jesus College, where he took his
B.A. degree in 1818, when he was second-class in classics.
He became Fellow and Tutor of Jesus, and in 1838 was
presented to the college rectory of Braunston, Northamp-
tonshire, which he held up to the time of his death.

A memorial, praying for an extension of the sixth
temporary modification of the Factory Acts Extension
Act, 18614 whereby male young persons, of not less than
sixteen years of age, may be employed in certain manu-
factures in the same manner as if they were eighteen
years of age, is now in course of signature by the work-
men employed in Birmingham and the other iron-pro-
ducing districts.

A private of the 9th Foot died on Wednesday at
the Militia Barracks, Kingston-on-Thames, from the
effects of sun-stroke. A detachment of the regiment had

reguli.—
marched from Stratford and West Ham to Kingston, en
route for Aldershot, and had to endure, the full heat of the
day. The men were greatly distressed by the march,
several fell out, and the deceased dropped just as the halt
was sounded near the barracks.

MELANCHOLY AFFAIR AT HENDON.—lnforma-
tion has been given to Dr. Lankester, coroner, of a sad
occurrence at Hendon, which has resulted in the death of
two men. The other afternoon, William Pager, aged 37,
and employed at the Hyde Brewery, Hendon, and who
also keeps the Brewery rap, for some purpose descended
a well which is undergoing repair. On coming up again
to the top he fell back into the well, presumably from the
effects of foul air. Some hours afterwards a man named
George Brooks went down the well to endeavour to find
the body of Pager. He succeeded in doing so, and was
returning to the surface when the rope, by which he was
being drawn up, broke, and he, with his burden, was
precipitated to the bottom of the well.. At eleven
o'clock at night another man went down,
and brought up Brooks, who, however, shortly afterwards
expired. Dr. Belgrave, of Hendon, had been called
by Mr. Crook, proprietor of thg brewery, but his
services were of no avail. Pager's body has not yet been
recovered.

all of which had received the approval of the said Com-
missioners. Under these circumstances he had but two
courses open. One was to do nothing, and the other to
file a bill in Chancery ; but as the Charity Commissioners
would not, he believed, be likely to give their certificate
for such a step he did not think sufficient reasons had
been shewn to call upon him to take the unusual step of
filing the bill without such certificate.
COMMISSIONS IN THE ARMY.

Mr. HENRY ROBERT BRAND asked the Secretary of
State for War whether it was the intention of the Govern-
ment to carry out the recommendation of the Royal Com-
mission (1869) appointed to inquire into the training of
candidates for commissions in the army, that students
who have passed responsions at Oxford, or a correspond-
ing examination at other Universities, should be held
qualified to receive a direct commission, provided always
they were within the prescribed limits of age.
Mr. CARDWELL said it was the intention to give effect
to the recommendations referred to. As soon as the exa-
minations are completed under the old system new regula-
tions will be framed.

THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT NEWARK.

The inquest on the bodies of those persons killed in
the railway accident, at Newark was opened to-day.
Colonel Tyler, the Government Inspector, was present,
and Mr. Mellor appeared for the railway company.
Many officials were present, and various solicitors repre-
sented the killed and injured. There are about twenty
witnesses to be examined. The first was Thomas
Walton, guard of the passenger train. When the acci-
cident occurred, he was thrown from his seat, but not
being injured, he at once ran up the line to the gate-
house to order the danger signal to stop the following
goods train. •He was in the last van. A portion of the
goods train was on the line, the last waggon was without
wheels 7 and the driver was backing the engine to be
coupled with the waggons. Some one said to him " All
right mate." When he told the driver and stoker of the
goods train that they had made a fine mess of his train,
;hey appeared astonished, and knew nothing
_about it.
One said he felt a link break.

NARROW ESCAPE OF AN EMPEROR.

The Corporation of Southampton recently sent the
Emperor Napoleon an address congratulating him
upon his escape from the recent conspiracy against
his life. A letter of thanks was received in
reply. It appears that the worthy municipal
body has thus been indirectly the means of
giving great offence to the Paris Republicans. The
Siecle is very angry with the Emperor's reply, de-
claring that the so-called conspiracy has never yet
been proved, that the prisoners are now awaiting,
trial, and that, in acknowledging these congratula-
tions, the Chief of the State assumes the guilt
of men who may be innocent. " Does he
know," asks the Siecle, "a single detail
of the conspiracy other than by the re-
port of M. Grandperret, and does he not know
as well as we do that that report has no judicial
value ?" To assume the guilt of men awaiting trial
is undoubtedly strange to English notions, though
the French are apt to think nothing of such an
irregularity. The Parisians are beginning to regard
this conspiracy—it is the one in which M. Gustave
Flourens was mixed up—with suspicion. One of the
Paris papers has just got itself into trouble for pub-
lishing the official report of the plot day by day,
with the humorous addition "To be continued." It
does not follow from this ridicule that the plot had
no existence; but it is certain that the evidence
pointed more towards a design to subvert the Go-
vernment than to assassinate the Emperor.

THE ILLUSTRATED NATURAL HISTORY
of BRITISH MOTHS. By Edward Newman. F.L.S., F.Z.S.
Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; also a
description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of
Appearance, and Localities where found. • Each moth is drawn from
nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John
Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; and if varieties
require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given. The work
is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is
also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at Is. 6d. each part. Part X.
new ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had.

"We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and
publication of this magnificent work."—Field.
" Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work
will be invaluable."—Daily Telegraph.
" It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species,
and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages
over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth,
with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be
an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain
many rare specimens."—Standard.
"The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a
high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste-
fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or
drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years'
earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento-
mologist deservedly stands high. . . . . We notice also with
satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly
scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English.
With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a
very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap-
ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour
to render them life-like. . . . We unhesitatingly commend
this volume to our readers. We regard it as a very useful addition to
our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9.

COURT DRESSMAKERS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES.

It seems that in spite of all our legislative efferts
on their behalf, the workwomen employed by our
fashionable dressmakers are still liable to ex-
cessive demands upon their labour. Two
cases have just come before the metropolitan
police courts which illustrate the hardships to
which they are often subjected, and the difficulty of
protecting them. A dressmaker in Park-street,
Grosvenor-square, who was in the habit of using
"rather strong" language to her people gene-
rally, was fined 40s. and costs for overwork-
ing and otherwise ill-treating a young woman
in her employ. A. visit paid by the Government
Inspector greatly incensed the dressmaker, who
apparently suspected the plaintiff of having had some-
thing to do with his visit, and instead of the legal
interference being an advantage to the girl, it
was rather a drawback to her. In the
other case the dressmaker seemed to be
much less tyrannical. Still there could be no doubt
that she had allowed her girls to work over hours,
and she could only plead on her behalf the old story,
that the orders came in at such short notice. If nothing
will make our dressmakers more scrupulous, neither
will anything, it seems, render our ladie s of fashion more
considerate. They must, by this time, be perfectly
aware that when they send an elaborate order to I
their dressmakers to be executed at a day or two's
notice, they are indulging their caprices at the cost

of other women's health, rest, and comfort. The
dressmaker, in excusing herself by the
peremptory nature of her orders, said she was
unwilling to give the names of her customers. The
magistrate justly observed that any lady deserved
public obloquy who gave orders involving a breach
of the law. He might have added that any lady who
could be so wilfully cruel and unjust as to inflict
unnecessary hardships on workwomen deserved a
sterner reprobation than for a breach of law.

THE PROPERTY LAW IN JERSEY.

Persons who contemplate purchasing landed property in
the island of Jersey will do well to meditate on the follow-
ing case, which was heard before the Royal Court of that
island on Monday :—One Edward Manger, a farmer,
occupying his own land, having fallen into pecuniary dif-
ficulties in the year 1868, took the benefit of the law
on the " Remise des Biens." By this law a person
obtains protection from legal process for a period vary-
ing from three to twelve months; to enable him to pay his
creditors. If he fails to do so two of the judges are
appointed to sell the property, and pay all the debts due
upon it. In virtue of this arrangement the two judges
appointed sold a portion of Manger's property to one
Mr. Philip le Sueur, for the sum of £6O, and
applied it in the discharge of a portion of the liabilities.
Before they could sell the remainder, however, a d6cret
(fiat of bankruptcy) was issued against the property by
M. Hocquard, who had a mortgage on it. According to
the Jersey law, all property purchased within a prescribed
period anterior to a cl4cret must revert to the original
estate for the benefit of all the creditors, no matter how
safely the purchase may have been made. In this in-
stance Mr. Le Sueur purchased from the two
judges appointed by the court to sell the pro-
perty, and naturally expected he was making a
sure bargain. Not so, however. Mr. Hoc-
quard stepped in and asked the court to annul the
deed of sale as being invalid in the eye of the law. The
Court decided that as the remainder of the estate was not
sufficient to satisfy the claims of the creditors, the deed
must be annulled. The Attorney-General, who pleadedfor
Mr. Le Sueur, asked what his client was to do to recover the
purchase money which he had paid to the two members of
the court. The bench made no reply to the question, and
Mr. Le Sueur was left to meditate on the glorious uncer-
tainty of the property law of Jersey.

THE TRIUMPHS OF SERVANTS.

It would seem that there are some judges in our
law courts who do not believe that servants wield
sufficient power in their respective departments in a
household. It is hard certainly to expect that all
men learned in the law are acquainted with the
tyranny of cooks, for instance, who usually monopo-
lise, for purposes best known to themselves and
to policemen, all rights in the kitchen. It is the
meek wives of such men who are abused in the
absence of their lords, by these despots, as well
as their children, who dare not . even peep
into the sanctum, without incurring a penalty
of being " dratted " venomously by the irate supe-
rior. Lawyers, indeed, may be said to
take smaller interest in domestic matters than
other men, and therefore it is not with very
great surprise that we learn of a merciful adjudi.m-
tion just made by one of them in Liverpool.
A lady in the suburbs of that town engaged a cook
to come to her house on 'trial for a month. The
self-possessed female, on arrival at her future sphere
of action, saw with horror that her mistress
had a partiality for pet dogs, and that
two of these interesting little animals were
to be her co-occupants of the kitchen. The woman,
with the usual sense of personal authority,
at once put the dogs in a kennel out-
side the house, but to this the lady of
the house objected. The servant accordingly
immediately left the house, and sued for a
month's wages. Mayhap the county court judge of
Liverpool is a bachelor. If a married man, he must
assuredly have been blessed all his life with model
kitchen maids ; for he expressed commiseration for
the plaintiff's misfortunes and actually gave her a
verdict, contending that unclean animals had no
right by law to be in the kitchen, where they could
only be on sufferance and at the pleasure of the
cook.

SCOUNDRELS IN RAILWAY TRAINS,

The Telegraph asks—Why should there not be railway
carriages for ladies only ? Men can pass Acts of Parlia-
ment compelling railway companies to provide carriages
for smokers with every train. Surely, to save an unpro-
tected woman from insult is as important, to say the least,
as to secure for man that necessary of civilisation—
the enjoyment of a cigar? A gentleman now sending
a lady of his family on a journey alone cannot
be sure that she will be free from some insult
or other, unless he get a friend to accompany her. On
railways like the American or the Swiss, where the guard
walks occasionally through all the carriages, the passen-
gers have an authority to which they can appeal ; but in
our trains there is literally no redress, no escape ;
and a lady may be forced to travel for miles in
disgusting company, afraid to complain lest she
should be singled out for invective or assault.
Oi course, women who are cool, calm, confident in their
own modesty, firmness, and discretion, might, if they
liked, travel in the other carriages, in the mixed society
there to be encountered ; but schoolgirls, or nervous
ladies, or ladies "owned" by fastidious or "nervous"
men—for men, on women's behalf, are sometimes more
nervous than the women themselves—could be securely,
despatched to the ladies' carriage with a pleasant confi-
dence at parting.

LUNACY AND ITS CAUSES.

The increase of lunacy in Scotland is the subject
of comment in the report of the General Board of
Commissioners in Lunacy for that part of the king-
dom. Without denying that over excitement of the
intellect or feelings is not unfrequently an element
in the production of mental disease, the commis-
sioners are convinced that the proximate
cause of insanity is, in the great majority
of cases, caused by imperfect nutrition. It is
pointed out that the great development of the
asylum system of accommodation in European
countries has run parallel with the disproportionate
increase of the population of towns, and it is con-
sidered probable that one of the principal causes of
the great increase of pauper lunatics can be accounted
for in the accumulation of the lower classes in
large towns under circumstances that have a delete-
rious effect on their bodily vigour, and as a sequence
on their mental condition. In spite of the efforts
made to improve the dwellings of the masses, and
other social reforms having a tendency to mitigate
the evils which follow in the wake of poverty, mor-
tality, crime, pauperism, and lunacy increase with
such rapid strides that the social economist is puzzled
as to the means by which this unhealthy state of
things can be arrested. A. broad-based system of edu-
cation is recommended by the Lunacy Commissioners,
and it is argued with reason that a diffusion of the
knowledge of those physical laws on which the
existence of a healthy body depends would lead to a
vast improvement in the condition of affairs. No
doubt a system of the kind would require immense
exertions on the part of our legislators, and consider-
ing the difficulties that seem to thrust themselves in
the path of a scheme of primary education, the pros-
pect is rather gloomy. There is, however, no reason
to despair of the solution of a question whose
urgency is admitted on all sides.
