are filled with women. Women lord
it at all assemblies, and are better
informed and more capable managers
than men. Marriage is looked upon
not so much as a matter of affection,
as of interest, and the sacredness of
the tie is proportionably slender.
Marriage in Sweden is commonly
governed wholly by the will of the
parents, and is founded upon interest
A stolen match is almost unheard OF,
and persons of either sex seldom
marry before the age of twenty-five
or thirty. Divorces are rare.
Russia seems to be the most pre-
posterous country in Europe in its
treatment of women. The nuptial
ceremonies, all and singular, are
based upon the idea of the degreda-
dion of the female. When the par
ents have agreed upon the match, the
bride is examined by number of
women to see if she has any bodily
defect. On her wedding day she is
crowned with a garland of worm
wood, to denote the bitterness of the
marriage state. She is exhorted to
be obedient to her husband. and it is
a custom in some districts for the
newly married wife to present the
bridegroom with whip, in token of
submission, and with this he seldom
fails to show his authority. In this
cold and cruel country, husbands are
sometimes known to torture their
wives to death, without any punish
ment for the murder. If a woman
proves barren, the husband generally
prevails on her to retire into a con-
vent and leave them at liberty. II
he fails in persuasion, he is allowed
to whip her into condescension.
Such is the slavery in which the
Muscovites are kept by their parents
and guardians, that they are not al
lowed to dispute any union agreed
upon by their elders, however odious
or incompatible in may be. This ex-
tends so far, that officers in the army
are not permitted to marry without
the consent of the sovereign, and
wives whom they do not want are
even sometimes forced upon them.
Whether it be the result of this
system Of oppression, or of their saw
age climate, or of the unnatural hot
air Of the stove-heated apartments, it
/ is certain that more unloyely race
of women than the Russian would be
difficult to find. They want" says
an English traveller, ''the genuine fla
vor which only nature can give.
That charming frmness and elasticity
of flesh, so indespensibly requisite to
constitute beauty, and SO delicious to
the touch, exists not among the Rus
sian females or in very few Of them" :"
We are told of the Aleutian Is
landers, who form a part of our new
Russian American acquisition, that
they marry one, two, or three wives,
as they have the means of supporting
them. The bridegroom takes the
bride upon trial, and may return to
her parents should he not be satisfied,
but cannot demand his presents back
again. No man is allowed to sell his
wife without her consent; but he may
(and often does) assign her over to
another. This custom it is said, is
availed Of By the Russian hunters,
who take Aleutian women or girls to
wife for time, for trifing compen-
sation.

A few days since man captured
near Bethlehem, KY, a snake having
two heads. 1t was about ten inches
in length, and, though the heads were
distinct, there was but one vertebra
and one pelvis. There were two
eyes in each head, and each mouth had
the same appearance and size. Some
times it would dart out one tongue
and sometimes the other, and at times
both simultaneously.

PROGRESS OF TIE PACIFIC RAILWAY.
-Dispatches from San Francisco give
encouraging accounts of the progress and
prospects OF the western end Of the Great
Pacific Railroad. 1t will be remembered
that Congress granted to the two principal
comprehensive Union Pacific and the
Central Pacifc-the right TO buill their
respective lines from opposite ends until
they meet and connect. The former
having nearly crossed the level plains Of
Nebraska, is rapidly approaching the out
lying hills Of the Rocky Mountain range
while the latter, it appears, is making
equally gratifying Roadway. During this
month it is expected the last and greatest

opened, and the crossing Of the dreaded

included within $50 miles, is equivalent
to more than go miles of ordinary rail-
