why Is TIT

have often been led 10 inquire why l.
is, that the editor of the Nebraskian, is
continually venting such slanderous and
abusive epithets, against Judge Ferguson,
Delegate from this Territory. In almost
every issue the reader is introduced t to ex-
pressions that could escape only from The
lips of the most vile and corrupted. En-
tire articles of the most scurrilous and vi
Imperative oharaeter-ar;icles that ought
to make even the most hardened blush to
read them, much less to write them-are
found in the columns Of that paper; much
to the annoyance, and directly adverse to
the tastes and intelligence of the people
of the Territory.
What is the cause Of such procedure ?
Why is the course of the Nebraskian,
evil, only evil, and that continuallyl II
its editor was a rough, vulgar sort of q
man; then we might infer, analogicully
that out Of his heart proceedeth this con-

and moves about with a grace and dignity
worthy one of the celestials, | am ut a los:

PRAcTIcAL WoMAN's RIGHrs.-We have
noticed, with admiration, several times
this spring, ladies engaged in the honora.
BILE occupation of hauling lumber, &c.,
with OK teams. Yesterday, several ladies
passed our Office, in an OK wagon, while
one of them, with whip in hand, presided
over the destinies of Buck and Bright,
with as much dignity and proprie,y, as
many of the lords of creation. We must
say that we admire the courage of those
ladies that have the independence to brave
those false customs of society that make
slaves and nonenities Of women. Not
that we would have women follow out door
employments for an occupation, but be-
cause we wish to break down those bar,
riers that exist, excluding ladies from
such ~employments, however necessary 1t
may be at times, that unsexes her in the
eyes Of the masses. We wish 10 have all
e~mployments, free for those TO engage in,
that see fit and when occasion seems to
require that women should go into the field,
and do that which is within their power,
let them do so without exciting remark or
ridicule. Go on ladies', and perform
whatsoever your hands may find 10 do,
that is an honor TO the human race, re-
Numbering that Heaven helps those
who help themselves"

MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE.

MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIRES
SisTER.-The question of the legality of
marriage with a deceased wife's sister,
has, in consequence of the decision Of
Justice Croswell, and more recently of
the e-Chancellor in the case Of Brook
agt. Brook, given rise to considerable dis
c~ussion. The opinion of the latter judge
fully ~sustains that Of his brother on the
bench, and i, may now be considered settled
deceased wife's sister, both being British
subjects, performed in a foreign country,
the laws of which recognizes such mar
riages, is null and inva id according to the
law of England.
Against the severity of his decision an
earnest protest has just been made at the
annual meeting of the Protestant dissent
ing ministers of the Presbyterian, lnde-
pendent and Baptist denominations resid-
ing in about London, who adopted a Sc
ries of resolutions declaring that the mar
rage of a man with the sister of his &c.
ceased wife, is not forbidden by divine
law, and ought not TO be forbidden ty hu-
Hldu Jaw iHdt tue piecSulS VI VIC Lug
fish law which declares such marriages
invalid, is much aggravated by the opIl-
ion Of Mr.. Justice Croswell, to The effect
that such marriages, a although performed
in a country where they are lawful, are
not consequently lawful in this country /;
and that as this decision affects many mar
riages already contracted, as well as 9TH
ers which Inay be in contemplation, it is
now more necessary than ever to make
strenuous exertions for the repeal of the
existing law.
The bill introduced in the House of
Commons, by Lord Bury, for the re-
peal of the law, is still under considera-
lion, and from the proverbial slowness
which attends social and constitutional re
forms in England, may fail to become a
law at this session Of parliament. That
the public feeling is in favor of the meas
ure, there can be but little doubt.

LIQUoR SELLING AND CHURcH MEM
BERsHrp.-In Mr.. Beecher's CHI lrch, in
Brooklyn, the name of a gentleman was
proposed on Sunday for membership who
is a member of a firm that deals whole
sale in liquors, 10 a certain extent. His
partnership was for a term of five years,
and he protested his inability to d~iscontin-
ue his connection, or The selling of liquor
by the firm, but he had resolved that he
would not parluke of the profits of that
branch of the business. The question to
be decided was whether his connection
and business, under the circumstances
stated, should disqualify him from being
received as a church member. The dis
cussion was interesting and well sustained
Mr.. Beecher favoring the applicant, and
the result was his reception as a member
by a vote of II TO 25.

years Of age, and two or three Of the ladies'

discharge Of the musketry when the doors
were bust in, before the soldiers saw that
they were women. 1t may be imagined
what state of terror the Begums and their
attendants were in when our men entered.
They expected death, every instant, and
their agonies Of fear were increased by the
knowledge of the fact that some armed Sc
poys were shut up in room close at hand,
and one shot might seal their fate. Hud-
died together amid the smoke, they ecald
scarcely be Gained BY the assurances Of the

were going out, one Of the ladies pointed
out to Captain Hope Johnston q box, which
he had just taken from the floor and laid

should enter. Having, with the aid Of his
brother officers, taken the ladies out Of dan
ger, he retired 10 The Zenana. 1t was blaz.
ing from end TO end. The ssntries only
escaped by clambsring up to the ro,f, from

but years must slapse before thi, vast cit,

dustry, prudence and Inheritance. He was
a man of method and economy.
Martin Van Buren is very rich. Through
out his political life he has studiously look

lieved that he ever spent thirty shillings in
politics. His party shook the bush, and he
caught the bird.
Daniel Webster squandered some mil

profession and political speculutions. He
died leaving his property to his children,
and his debts to his friends. The former
sold for less than twenty thousand dollars
the latter exceeded two hundred and fifty
thousand.
Henry Clay left very handsome estate.
