SINGULAR SUPERSTITION In MAssA-
CnUSETTS.

In the southern part Of the town of
Marlboro, Mass, near the Connect
cut line, lives family by the name of
F.. 1t seems that the family are
predisposed to consumption. About
the first of January one of the fami-
ly, Emily, girl eighteen years old,
died Of this disease and was buried in
Cornwall Hollow, Conn. The mother
and brother, Charles, and o sister, Eli
"a, remain. Charles is now wasting
away with the same disease, During
the summer man by the name of
Case, who lives in a town to the east,
was in that section hiring cattle pas
ture. He met this family of r.
and told them some awful stories of
how persons nearly dead with con-
sumption had been cured by the dig
ging up of some relatives who had
died with the same disease, taking out
the liver, lungs, heart, etc., where
fresh blood would be found, and burn
ing them, after this tho sick ones
would improve until health was re-
stored. ......
The reason assigned was that there
was a sort of vital current existing be-
tween the living and dead-tihat these
organs in the dead body that contain
ed fresh blood and appeared to be
alive, would continue to live until the
vitality of the living subject was ex-
hausted, unless said organs were taken
out and consumed by fire. Eliza heard
and believed these stories, and if they
ever appeared absurd, they soon be.
came matters of fact to her. DR.. S.
of an adjoining town was importuned
to do the dissecting-no rest could be
obtained until the thing was accom-.
plished. Strange to say the doctor
consented. The 10Th of last August
the doctor and half dozen, more OIL
less friends dug up the body Of Emf
ly, cut out the liver and a portion o
the lungs, took them some distance
from the grave and burned them
The heart and a portion of the lung
: were found decayed-that portion o
the lungs supposed TO be destroyed
before her death-and fresh blood wa
found in the liver, enough to thor
oughly besmear the doctors hands,
These are facts.

SOCIAL LIFE IN CHINA.

In China man and wife never walk
together, arm-in-arm, in public, or
even side-by-side but the wife always
follows her lord at a respectable dis
tance, as women among the American
Indians, AT social parties the sexes
sit at different tables, occupy seperate
rooms, aud visit only among them
selves. Strangers of opposite sexes
are never introduced, nor do the wo-
men ever speak TO the men, unless
relatives OF very intimate associates
of the family, There is no such thing
as social life, i'll our sense Of the word
among the Chinese. And all their So
cial and domestic theories and pract1-
ces are based upon the idea of woman,s
inferiority and insignificance. She is
regarded as only servant and under
ling, and in no sense fit to be COM
panion and equal of man. She feels
her inferiority, and in the main sub
mits eheerfuliy to. her fate. The idea
of woman's rights has never entered
- .
her mind. So thoroughly is this
feeling Of inferiority ingrained in her
nature, that the only book ever pro-
duced in China, by female. author,
the proposition is gravely stated, elab-
orately argued and illustrated, that
woman was made for the same pur-
pose that tiles are-for men to tread
upon. They are astonished to see the
freedom and equality allowed between
the sexes among the Europeans, and
argue strenuously against it; and
when vanquished in the argument,
they reply with ali their usual stub
bornness and pertinacity "may be
good for Mclean man-for China man
no good" Since the coming ofEuro-
pean ladies into China, some of their
own women have begun to entertain
some little idea of rights, and it has
now become provcrb with the men
that the two most dangerous things
that can be imported to China arc
| foreign women and foreign gun-pow-
der. Yet, on the whole, the weaker
sex are rather kindly treated, and in
general not so much abused.
