The Wife's Signature to Husbands .
Deed.

A SUBSCRIBER who has been reading
our statement of the law in regard 70
the sale of land by married women,
writes that he understands the hus-
band to be equally unable to sell, unless
the wife signs the deed" and wishes to
know IF this is not correct"
We are Obliged to inform our cores
pondent that this is not entirely correct.
The husband is under no legal disabili-
ty to contract, while the wife is. The
law requires his signature to her deed,
to give effect to her own but her sigma
ture is not essential to the validity Of
his. There Is no necessity for her con-
/ currenCe in the sale of his real estate /;
but his consent, expressed strictly In
/ the mode pointed out by the Act of
l770, is Indispensable to the conveyance
of hers. A deed regularly executed By
both husband and wife conveys the In.
tcrest of both; executed by the husband
alone, ii conveys his interest only; ex-
ecuted by the wife alone, II conveys
nothing. To understand the effect of the
husbands deed, in which the wife does
not join, II is necessary to understand
the nature of the wife's interest in her
husbands real estate, or her ight Of doug
Cr. This Is 4 lie-estatr in one-third Of
the land owned by the husband at mar
riage, or afterward acquired by him.
But her right to this does not vest abso-
lutelS in her until his death 1t is sub
iect to incumbranccS created hy him,
and may be defeated by Il sale of the
land for his debts. II will thus be seen
that her interest is both contingent
/, surviving him, and limited TO a life.es.
tate in one.third Of the land remaining
t after payment of debts. Should the
: husband sell land without the wife join,
ing in the deed, she may, after his death
, If she survive him, recover from the
; purchaser her dover in the land bu
| as her interest is one that expires wher
| she does, should the husband survive
| the purchasers title becomes ~ periec
:. as if the wife had signed the deed an,
It the same result follows upon her dealt
II after recovery of dover,
The husband, therefore, can conve
IL his title rs fully without his wife's sig
Is nature rs with ii. Without it, howe>
a er the purchaser must risk being cal lie
E. on for her dover in the land, should sh
lie survive the husband. In this event,
to he is fond of litig tion, he may try
o. lawsuit for indemnity on the covenan
~ in the husbands deed.-Piuston Gazet

MeddIeFs with Other Peoples
BmsAne@R.

The people Of Massachusetts, are
blamed by many, aud justly, too, for
their fanaticism and eternal med
ding with other people'e business.
1t Is held by many, bat for the med
ding Of Massachusetts with the bus
iness of the people of the South, that
the late war would never have taken
place and the country would now he
prosperous, and the people united
and happy. This meddlsoue dis
position 10, we might say, bred in
the people Of Massachusetts, and has
become an mate principle with them.
AS long ago as 1859 we find the peo-
pie of Boston meddling with other
peoples private business, by the
passage of regulations regulating the
length and breadth Of the sleeves Of
ladies' dresses. The following was
one of the authorized regulations of
the city OF Boston as long ago as
1889. We ask our ladies' what they
would think If Council Bluffs should
by ordinance make such regulation
now? Here 10 the regaiation--la-
dies read 1t.
No garment shall be made with
short sleeves, whereby the naked
ness Of the arm may be discovered In
the wearing thereof; and such as
have garments already made with
short sleeves shall NOS iaercafter wear
the same, unless they covert arms
% the wrists with linen Of otherwise,
and that hereafter 10 person what
ever shali make any garment Cor
women, or any OF their sex, with
sleeves more than half an ell wide
IN the widest part Thereof, and 40
proportionabse for bigger o. smaller

/ DEMOCRATIC MEETTkG--SPEEGH
OF d. NJ. HARRIs.-We were highly
gratifiesi at seeing 50 large an Assem-
hlage Of people at the Democratic
meeting In Burhop's Hall, on satar.
day evening last. 1t was convincing
evidence that deep, earnest feeling
is peryading the minds of the people,
relative TO the questions now pessa-
ing, and the great necessity existing
for = change In the administration oil
the affairs of the County, State and
Federal departmentsof Government.
And the close attention and quiet
behavior Of the audience, too, TINT
those present had not come merely
10 swell thennEnlers, but they Were
there for the purpose Of listening
and gathering information from the
speakers words such as would ena-
bic them TO better judge and act In
such nlanner as would best conduee
10 the public veal.
OF the speech of Mr.. Harris, Of fusl
two hours duration, 1t Ii unneeazm-
ry for as 10 speak In detail. In Eacs,
we could not do 1t justice Esom mean
DRY, but all who listened 10 it--and
there were hundreds who did-will
bear witness that II was clear, logic
n, and devoid Of eli personal slang
and iow-aang spishess tnwaxsa Radi-
icaais--without sophistry or an ap-
peal 10 unhoiy passions, while the
speaker was plain, decisive and de-
tersnined In his enunciation OF the
position occupied by the Democracy
relative TO the campaign and its re-.
suits The meeting was suensss,
and We Anticipate good results from
Ii.

sB There is false idea perva-
ding the people Of the country r.
the effect that Congress has passed
a law taxing bombs. This is mis-.
take in every particular, as the bill
is not yet law aud does not pro
pose, even when it becomes a law,
to tax more than the interest upon
bonds. Thus it will be seen, man
who owns bonds will only have to
pay on every ten or twelve dollars
of them-owing 20 what the interest

MouNTAIg Hsaa l-When we
speak of tina public debt al being
ssmoantain high,n we hut family
present the reality.
Let us illustrate: The highest
m0untrin In the world Is q peak oil
the Hirnalays Mountains, In India,
which reaches the altitude of 2s.17s
feet, or little less than 81 miles.
The public debt of tho United
States according to the official state
inent of the Secretary Of the Treasu-
ry, amounted on the first of the
month, 10 the sum of Asa, 534, 4sO.
Now, let lis, for illustration, sun
pose this debt to be one dollar bills,
and piled up before us. Do you Inn
agine 1t would reach mountain
high ?'' Let us see:
Allaw one hundred notes to the
inch, and we have Its hight
to be- p, 23s ,34a Inches!
oE 2,Is2.945 feet 4!
or 700, 1851 yards III
or 89Il miles I'LL
or, Ii the notes were OF the denomi-
nation of 800 instead offs we should
have u pyramid Of money reaching
about four miles hight whilst the
highest mountain peak In North
America hit. st. Elias, In Russian
Anenica), ID but 10, 500 feet, or less
than miles
Still further: let us suppose the
debt tobein silver instead OF In notes,
and estimating $I6 to the pound, we
have q weight OF debt amounting to
Just I57, III, 9cs pounds or 1857
car loads lat $1,000 pounds to the
car, which would make o train of
cars flfty-six miles In length, allow
ing but thirty feet 10 the carlil
We present these illustrations be-
cause we would If possible, arouse
the people to an appreciation of the
magnitude Of the monster mountain
hight and mountain weight of debt
which Is crushing the life from a
struggling Republic.
If the picture presented above ia q
pleasant one, you will sustain the
Radical party for that organization
promises not only 10 preserve this
grand mountain of debt, bat to add
mile upon mile 10 its column as the
months roll on. Last month the adj
fition was $780, 600. or two miles
In hight, or sl2, 5000 pounds in weight
so car loads, making d train of 90
yards In length, according to the
estimates. The increased
grandeur of this little mountain, one
year hence-with Radicals still in
be estimated by multi
plying the figures last above by IL
Thanks to the good sense of the
American people, however, they
must yet turn over, on the 4th Of
March next, to the Democracy. Then
We shall, by rigid economy and hon.
's8y, dig down the mountain, instead
It piling 1t higher and higher.-Mar.
