Parisian Husbands and Won,en's
Right.

Several gentlemen in Paris, whose
wives participated la the meetings en-
phaticslly advocating the emancipation
of women, play ed their spouses the fol-
lowing trick:
A lawyer, whom they engaged for this
purpose, called at their houses in their
absence, and desired to see Madame.
Madame was occupied with her toilet,
but the visitor insisted on seeing her. So
she was obliged to receive the lawyer,
who very politely handed her a stamped
paper The lady read it in surprise, and
turned very pale. The lawyer left her.
What did the paper contain2 An appli-
cation for divorce ON the part of the
husband. The lady passed long hours of
painful suspense. At lasi her husband
came home from his Office. My friend,
what is the meaning of thi paperY" she
asked, with pale face. "Wby, it is an
application for divorc from you. /
believe you want to be treel / do not
want to be your tyrant any longer" u
am sure" she said, with her kindest
smile, you have wet feet, and will catch
cold, dearest husband Pray sit down
by the fire End warm yourself. Shall l
get you cop Of tea2' ''Oh, no, am quite
well, replied the wicked husband, laugh
ing iD'wardly at her desire to make
him comfortable; :" IN gu ite well, and
| AN sure you will lib lewise get well as
soon as you are free." "Bu1, my dear
husband, do not understand what you
mean Shall fetch your saippers2 p"
No, thank you. Why should you im-
pose on yourself this slavish yoke, which
you have ever borneP | heard your
cries for deliverance. / am expressing
you, as you say, and l,nceforrh / shall
no longer work for you. Hitherto we
men had to bear all the burdens and
cares; we toiled all day long, passed
sleepless nights in order TO devise new
ways of making money, and struggled
with a thousand competitors in order to
earn our daily bread, while you were
dressing. taking rides, and allowing your
idlers to make love to you. All this will
cease. Down with slaveryi We are in
duty bound to restore such poor women
as you to freedom and independence
Hurrah for hbertyl" An hour after
ward the two sat down to supper. The
lady no longer talks of her wrongs, and
of her desire to recover her liberty.
Similar scenes occurred at the houses OF
other gentlemen.

The MECHANICS BENEFIT UNIoE.-This
is one OF the Oldest and most worthy Mutual
Benefit Societies in Honolulu. 1t was insti-
tuted, September 9th, 1858, by number of
mechanics, who, mindful Of the uncertainty
of continued health, and Of life ITSELF united
together for mutual assistance and protec-
ton, after the manner of similar societies in
other countries. By the payment of mod
crate entrance fee, and dues at the rate of one
dollar per month, each member is entitled,
in case of sickness, TO stated sum per day
for his maintenance; and the families of
deceased members are paid sum of money
proportioned, in a measure, TO their necessi-
ties. This Society numbers among its MEM
bers some of our most substantial mechanics
aud citizens, and is in q most fourishing
condition, as will be seen from the fact that
blythe Treasurer's Report at the annual meet
ing held on Friday evening, the nth inst, it
is shown that the funds of the Society now
amount to 81, SOS. 81; $4,O5o of which are at
interest, and S555s7 in cash on hand. At
this meeting, the following officers were
elected for the ensuing year:
Geo. Mclean, President.
Jno H. Thomson, Tice-E President.
Thos. Sorrenson, Treasurer.
W. B. Wright, Secretary.
OF whom the President, Vice-President and
Treasurer were elected Trustees The Reg
ular Meetings of the Mechanics benent
Union are held on the evening OF the second
Friday of each month, at the rooms OF En-
CINE Company No. 2. The membership now
numbers 81.

The Invention of LithOgraphy.

Tie impatience of German wash
er- woman led to the invention ol
lithography. The history of that
elegant art begins with a homely do
mestic scene, which occurred at Mu.
Mich about the year 1898, and in
which three characters figured
Madame Senefelder, the poor widow
of an excellent actor, then recently
deceased; her son, Alias Senefelder,
aged twenty two, a young man of an
inventive turn; and the impatient
washer. woman just mentioned. The
washerwOman had called at the home
of this widow for the wash but
the "list" was not ready, and the
widow asked her son to take it. He
looked about the room for piece OF
paper upon which to write it, with
out being able to find the least frag-
ment, and he noticed also that his
ink wss dry. asherwomen are not
apt to be overawed by such custom
ers, and this one certainly did not
conceal her impatience while the
fruitless search was proceeding
The young man had in the apartment
a smooth, soft, cream colOred stone,
such as lithographers now use. lie
had also mass of paste made OF
Iampblack, wax, soap, and water.--
In the hurry of the moment, he
dashed upon the soft smooth stone
the short list of garments, using fol
the purpose this lump OF oily paste
The washerwoman went off with hel
small bundle of clothes, peace was
restored to the family, and the wri
ting on the stone remained.--Atlae
