A NOVEL party was lately given in
the small town of Lebanon, KY. The
wife of Judge Kavauagh announced
she would give party to all the newly
married couples in the place. 1t was
attended by seven happy pairs. a sta

following figures:
The united ages of the brides amount

years; the united weights of the brides
to s7S pounds, of the grooms to LOOP

The Growing Crops.

The high prices of provisions and
bread causes much anxiety in relation
to the prospect of the coming crops.
The reports generally from various
portions of the country are favorable
as to wheat, and the fruit crop promises
well. The Virginia papers say that the
wheat crop of that State will be the
finest that has been raised in ten years,
If nothing occurs to impair the yield
before harvest time in June. Corn,
however, is the great crop upon which
everything depends, and 1t must be
much larger than last year If provis-
ions are to be lower in price.
The Ironton (O.) Register says: sour
oldest farmers say they never have seen
such prospects for all kinds of fruits as
are visible now on every hand. They
declare also the same concerning
wheat. In some localities it is a foot
and half high, and very thick"

On the subject of womaa's rights.
there is reason to believe that ohm Bull
will distance US. The new charter of
London University admits women to
general examinations to test their quail
ificatIons as teachers, governesses and
the like, and also to special examina-
tions. for degrees in medicine, law, &c.
The applicants in law outnumbered
those in medicine largely. Now, we
have not heard yet of any feminine
lawyers in the country, though we have
some female medical practitioners, and
would possibly be better off in some
respects II we had more-for attendance,
at least, on their ailing sisters. But the
law, even our strOng.minded women
do not affect it; they prefer politics and
the sensational generally. But as we
see that in Michigan two young girls
have made application for admission to
the State University, it is to be hoped
that the sex may have a better oppor-
tunity for wholesome education in the
law hereafter. Their application is to
be reported on by especial committee
of the board. In the adjoining State OF
Wisconsin o law was recently passed
giving the elective franchise to women,
30 that in that quarter, shortly, they
shall not only become lawyers, but
Lawmakers. Woe be to a candidate
for Office, however, who is not nice
young man.

The subject of cooperation among
workmen is now much discussed in this
country and already several expert
ments have been attempted. In New
York one or two establishments have
been set up, on the plan of co-opera-
tion pure and simple,-that is, a band
of workmen Joined together trade d.
rectly with the public and divide the
profits among themselves. In Chicago,
the result of the strikes has been to set
the most sensible among employers and
workmen to thinking whether there is
not some way to avoid these exhausting
conflicts between labor and capital. 1t
Is stated that the president of the Eagle
Works has determined to give each of
the workmen employed there five per
cent. upon the wages he earns, this in
crease being paid every half year. This
can hardly be called cooperation, al
though that is the name given to it by
the Chicago newspapers, but it may
lead up to Change in the manner of
paying workmen, by which they NAV
iairIy be said to have a iirect interest
in the business.

The strike of the stablemen OF New

violent demonstration which have too
often characterized these movements.
The strikers have been waiting while
those who took theirplacess should earn
money enough to take themselves into
the country, which has been supposed
to be their only object in taking the sit
uatiOns. They seem to have waited in
vain, every day expecting their recall
to work, those who had money assisting
those who had none. Meantime the ap-

least, given vent to their feelings in
open violence against those who now
fill their places. The prospects of this
