CowHIDING BYA WOMAN.-We learn from
the Columbia mo Statesman that Mrs. An
thony Anderson, of Bourbonton, administer
ed to her liege lord about sixty stripes with
a cowhide in one of the stores of that place,
on the 2lst ult. 1t seems that one D. w.
Anderson-a school teacher-came to Bour-
bonton and was so unfortunate as to marry,
but, becoming tired of his connubal connec-
ton, departed in few days, leaving his
'better half" TO mourn " the loved and
early lost" He only stayed away few
months, however, when he returned. But
she had not forgotten him she remembered
her heart left void and her hearth DIES late.
Accordingly, having procured good, sub
stantial cowhide and called in some of her
friends to witness the fun, she proceeded to
administer to the poor teacher his own re-
medy for curing truants.

E% 1t is stated that twelve years ago,
the number of travellers between Paris and
the Belgian frontier, amounted, perhaps, to
3OO,O or 100000 annually. In 1850 the
Northern Railroad conveyed already three
and half millions of travellers, whilst in
the past year the number rose to no less
than five and half millions, which is equi-
valent to the sixth part of the whole French
population. OF this number, 615,OOO trav-
elers rode in first-class carriages, 1907 in
second, and 3,l26,0OO in third-class.
