BROTHER OF AN ITALIAN BARON BEFORE
THE MAsT-A short time since a man named
Thomas Ward was admitted to the United States
Marine Hospital in this city. He had accidentally
broken his leg on board the vessel in which he
filled the humble post of sailors simple man be-
fore the mast. He is an honest, industrious, hard
working, poor fellow, with wife and two or
three children depending on him for support. He
Is well known to several of our old citizens,
among Others DR.. Duck and S. j. Sherwood, Esq
who has corresponded for him with his brother.
The strangest part of poor Wards history, how
ever is, that his brother is an Italian Baron and
has been prime minister to the Duke of Lucca
and finally, on his death Regent of Parma. We
have now before US fine daguerreotype of the
Baron in his court costume, with his stars and
orders glittering on his breast and we must say
that a nobler looking man cannot be found, net.

of Worcester vas married to Miss Sarah c. Nor.

son. As part of the services, the following pro.
test was read:
Whereas the laws of all Christian countries rela-
ting to marriage are founded to greater or less ex
tent upon principles of injustice and inequality we
feel in duty bound to enter protest against the
same while acknowledging our mutual affection and
the sacredness of the relation which we assume
that of husband and wife
I'VE sarticularly protest against the laws which
give to the husband the absolute control of his wfe
persoD the entire guardianship of their children; tho
exclusive ownership and of her personal property
and real estate unless personally settled upon her
placed In the hands of trustees the absolute right
the product of her industry.
ln conclusion, agai INST the whole law of inequali-
ty between the sexes, claim that the wife should
be mistress OF her person and property and have
an equal share in the control of her children"
