WOMEN IN The EAsr.-The freedom Of
action allowed to Christian women, says the
London Reader, still strikes the true Asiatic
as inexplicable. The Dnyanprakash, a
Marathi paper, publishes letter caricatur-
ing European ideas on this subject. The
writer, who signs himself Ghost, is made
so say that "the Queen is going to issue the
following commands regarding the conduct
of husband and wife towards each other
Every husband must bow twelve times to hi,
wife the first thing in the morning. Next
he should fetch water and bathe her, and
having washed her clothes, must cook for tn,
family. After that he should seat her in q
becoming manner and serve her food. He
is then to give her Vida, and then care fol
his own stomach. The wife in her turn mus

A CORRESPONDENT FROM Brownsville,
Texas, says: A disease, peculiar to the
climate, called break bone fever, is raging
here. Although it seldom terminates fatal
ly, it causes agonizing pain and lasts eight
to ten days. Much sickness is reported
among the colOred troops recently from Vir-
ginia. 1t is generally dysentery and scuryy
induced by long sea voyage.

NEW YoRK, August 5.-General Fisk, As
sistant Commissioner of Freedmen and Ref
ugees, has forwarded a report to Washing
ington, in which he calls the attention Of the
Government to the large issue of Govern
ernmcnt rations, and says that after person
ally investigating many cases, he is quite
sure the Government is being immensely
swindled by many Of the recipients of its
bounty, and at the same time is to an alarm
ing extent fostering institutions for the pro-
motion of idlencss, vagrancy, pauperism
and crime. Nearly every family in Georgia
and Alabama, regardless Of their ability, are
drawing rations from the Government, and
claim is as a right Also, too many think it
no wrong to resort to any mean trick to more
than duplicate the quantity they would be
entitled to If found wanting.
