did not attach u l. clear that before the passage of
the act Of 1s46 the husbands curtcsy did not cxst s
to the lands Of which the wife die | seized which
thus acquired and held by her. And this seems
to have been the construction which the Legislature
adopted ~ the provision OF the sixth section Of the
ted. refers exclusively to acquisitions Of real proner
~ by married women, under the provisions Of the act
0f 1889 And the fact that nothing is said in said soc
on in regard to lands owned by fegDcs covert at the
time Of their marriage nor in reference TO lands sub
sequcntly acquired by descent, gives great force 70
the suppo-iti6n thatth Legislature acted on that con-
struction could not have been matter Of douLt
with the Legislature that such lands were subject TO
the husband curtcsy. Hence, assuming that the act
Of 1892 wt~ construed by the Legislature the Or

plain why rs phraseology was adopted.
There i another sufficient reason why thejudpment

A few mornings since he carried the mat

CoFFEE AND PIsroLs.-Mr. Horace Fry.
from whom his wife (who was Miss Griggl
is seekinga divorce in Philadelphia, is a
brother Of Mr.. w. II. Fry, the celebrated
musical critic and composer, and one of
the proprietors and editors of the New

delphia Journal, in commenting on the
case, having passed some structures ON the
Frys, Mr.. W. II. Fry sends the following
missiye to that editor:
lSr.-In your journal of yesterday there
Is an article for which you alone are re-
sponsible as editor and proprietor, filed
with the grossest defamation of myself

therein are unfounded and false. /. there

In rejoinder 10 which the Journal editor
reiterates all he has said, and adds that il
he DETAINED Mr. Fry. the onus of taking
satisfaction rests with that gentleman, and
that instead Of course epithets and
groundless imputations," there is "a
much more manly and effectual mode of
vindication which he can adopt, if he
will" Thus the matter stands at pre-
sent.

The SCENE OF THE SICKLEs TRAGEDY-A
Washington correspondent of the Phila-

Washington correspondent of the Phila-

"The scene of the shooting is still an
object of attraction, and at any hour of
the day, citizens and strangers may be
seen looking at the spot, the late residence
of Mr.. Sickles and the Club House.
Their close proximity to the President s
House and Lafayette Square, render it
necessary for every visitor to pass them
all in his sightseeing trip to the latter in
teresting objects. The assignation house,
on Fifteenth street, is also an object of
attraction, and is visited daily. Its vicini-
ty, heretofore almost unknown, is now
quite busy mart. So great is the rush at
the scene of the tragedy, that Lafayette
Square, contrary to previous practice, is
now closed at twilight, to prevent injury

Letter from chas. a. Smith. ESQ.

MR. ADAss:-A short time after the Oc-
tober election, the question was submit
ted to Col. glenn and myself, by Judge
HANcocE. whether he had the power to
control the publications cmanating from
the Circuit and Chancery Courts. and di-
rect the medium for the same. We both
gave 1t as our opinion that it was a mere
police power, and as such was strictly dis
cretionary with the Judge
Having given this opinion, although
did not advise its exercise, when the news
paper at Enterprise took Hancock, action
in such high dudgeon / felt it incumbent
upon myself to show 10y reference to the
statute, that it was matter strictly coram
J'adics, and accordingly wrote the ''Galla-
tin" article and send you this simply
because it is supposed i'm this vicinity that
a young man in no way connected with
this matter wrote that article. The re-
ply Of the paper at Enterprise to the Gal
latin letter, contains nothing relevant to
the business in hand
have no ytsiJ5g, pro or tau.. in the mat
ter. but it does seem to me that it is the
determination Of some people to make a
great man of Hancock by attacking him
for idle and insufficient causes.
The question is here. not the propriety
Of the Judges conduct, hut whether it
was authorized by law.
! think his order was strictly within the
letter of the law. and consequently. when
ever the action of Court is predicated
upon the law. cavil and contention should
cease. But agree with the paper at En-
terprisc. that when q Court invades the
rights of the people or the good Of socie-
ty, its acts should be reprobated; vet |
hardly suppose that the public communi-
ty felt seriously shocked by Judge Ill.

newspaper in preference to another.

this matter, Mr.. Adams, "as the game amt

LACK OF REVERENCE IN THE YOUNG.-Rev.
A. Smith, Commissioner of Public Schools
i'll Ohio, in recent report, makes some
forcible remarks upon the want of good
manners shown by the youth of the pres
ent day, in their conduct toward the aged.
After alluding to the Difference and re-
spect which the youth of former days
were taught to extend to their superiors
in age and wisdom, he says:
"But where, in all our land, does this
good old practice prevail? Who does not
know that bows and courtesies, on the
part of our boys and girls are obsolete p
1t has been remarked that there are thou
sands of boys in this great country, not
one of whom has ever made bow, unless
when he had occasion to dodge asnow ball,
brickbat, or a boulder
Some eight or ten winters since, ex-
Governor Everett, of Massachusetts,, with
the late Amos Lawrence, was in a sleigh,
riding into Boston. As they approached
a aschool-house, a score of young boys rush
ed into the street to enjoy their afternoon
recess. Said the Governor to his friend,
Let us observe whether these boys make
obeiEance to us, as we were taught fifty
years ago. At the same time he express
ed the fear that the habits of civility were
less practiced than formerly. As they
passed the school-house all question and
| doubt upon the subject received speedy
if not satisfactory settlement, for each one
of those twenty juvenile New Englanders
did his best at snow-balling the wayfaring
| dignitaries."

BENNEr's IDEA OF DUEL.-Therc is a
rumor (says the New York Hcraid) that
the Sickles tragedy has created such a
quarrel between the editors of the Post
and Tunes that il must lead TO a challenge,
a duel, over at Hoboken, or at the other
side Of Niagara River. This ''afiair of
honor is to come off between the respon-
sible editors-Raymond for the Times, and
Bryant, for the Post. If such an alarming
event should actually take place, the
chances are decidedly in favor of Master
Raymond. The supericies which he pre-
sents is at least one-thiId less than that
of his antagonist. How is this inequality
to be rectilied beforehand? 1t will be too
late to discuss it in the newspapers after
deed Of blood is done. The only way
the difficulty can be solved is that which
little Curran once proposed to an adverse
nv twice his dimensions let Raymond
chalk exactly his figure upon the person
Of Bryant, and il bullet should strike
outside the outline, that shot TO be deemed
unfair.
