Rights of Married women.

The British Parliament is all ,agog just
now over bill comforting certain limited
rights of property upon married women,
and the proposed innovation is denounced
on all sides as an unheard of and danger
Gus folly. The Pail Mall Gazette goes to
the very root Of things in opposing it, and
it expresses its opposition in s'one great
leading principle" "That principle" /"
it says, sis the radical inequality of
the sexes, and the radical inferiority,-
physical, moral and intellectual, of wo-
men" And it reiterates this startling prop
osition when it adds: s'We believe that no
system of law, whether it relates to prop
erty, to person, or to political rights, will
ever be really just-that is, generally ben
e6cial-unless it presupposes and is foun-
ded upon the following principles: First,
that men are superior to women-that is,
that we have mere moral, intellectual and
physical strength than they have; that we
know more, feel more, can do more, are
their superiors in every sense in which one
class of beings can be superior to another.
Secondly, that families are in the nature Of
snati guv-rumrn,s,-veno ruut tue Constltu-
ton Of those governments should be mon
archical, the husband being king"

LOW WATER DErECTOR
PREVENTS THE EXPLOSION OR BURNING
OUT OF STEAM BOILERS.
TIE PRIME CAUSE OF STEAM BOILER Ex-
pLosIoNs ARISES FRoM A DEFICIENCY OF
WATER IN THE BOILER WHILE IN
ACTION

EXpL LosIoNs FROM DEFICIENCY OF WATER
Low water in steam boilers is no unusual occur
renee Imminent danger frequently arises from this
cause and it cannot be too i1rcibly impressed upon
the minds of engineer that there is no part OF the
apparatus constituting the mountingS OF boiler
which requires greater attention than that sup
plies It with water In properly constru ted boil
er every part of the metal exposed TO the action OF
the fire should be in immediate contact with the wa
ter and when proper provision is uiade to maintain
the water at sufficient height above the parts so
exposed accidents can never occHr from this cause
Should the water, however, get low from defects In
the pump md the surface over the FIRE tecouce over
heated th n at the ordinary working pressure
there is eat danger Of al cxplosif L. Thee Is no
occasion under such circumstances, 10 search furh-
or i: the cause OF explosion, from the fact that the
material, when overheated to certain degree loses
about ve-sixths OF its strength, and is, therefore.
unable to resist the internal pre- sure. When
boiler becomes short of water, the first thing usual
" done is to put the feed pump in action; this GER
tcinly remedies the deficiency but increases the
danger, and may lead to the explosion ofthe boiler.
Ashcroft's Low Water Detector

by low water. ltpeeds not the care OR attention of
the engineer or fireman to keep it In order. Opera

TIE PARAaUAYAN WOMEN who have shoul-
dered the musket in defence of their native
land, are reported to be quite as efficient as
average male soldiers, and twice as enthu-
siastic A correspondent thus neatly puts
the dilemma into which their heroism has
thrown their antagonists: "What will the
"Allies do now if brought before an army
"of women? To fight or to run away ?
(Which can be done with the most honor
"To conquer or TO be defeated Which
..can the men best afford When they re-
"turn, will they prefer to be hailed as the
"men who whipped the women, or the men
"who more gallantly allowed the women to
"whip them ?''

THE CITIZENS MEETING.


Acting Mayor MoDayitl's efforts TO
bring together . number Of old citizens
and properiy-holders to interchange
opinions relative TO the best method Of
relieving the municipal government
from its endorsements, resulted in
quite large assemblage Of the class al
luded to.
Judge ]. 7 Swayne was called to the
chair, and the meeting organized, after
which Acting Mayor McDavitt briefly
presented the present financial condi-
ton Of the city. He thought the only
feasible views open for the relief OF the
city was for the property-holderst to come
forward and aid the city government in
its efforts to stem the current. II was
necessary that they should have money,
and without this essential nothing could
be done-the wheels Of government would
stop at once There was no money com
ing into the Treasury from taxes, aud
there would not be until the present i'm
meuse amount of city scrip was retired
1t was to the interest Of all that this thing
should be done, and If the city govern
ment could be carried on for five months
without an additional issue of scrip, it
would result in much benefit to the prop.
erty- holders. He submitted the follow
ing estimate necessary to carry on the
city government, and asked for its i'm
mediate subscription:
Approximate estimate Of the current expenses Of
Ike cir Of Afemphis. Janudrv l. ls6s;
