A Good Thing for Some Women.
A queer case is now before the courts OF
California. LII is one IN which a woman
sues tor divorce tor the very substantial
reason that her husband is a woman The
latter, t appears, has been In business, for
some time as a man. She married the
plaintiff, In the character of man, The
comp! ant being young, and somewhat in
experienced III mat-lUony, was not able to
detect the swindle for some weeks, or
months. During this interval, the hus-
band made very free with the wife's prop>
erty, which was spent, reinyested, and
disposed OF In a profuse manner. By wha;
means the wife tecame aware of the true
state OF the case, does not appear III the
trial. Suffice Is that she did becmoe
possessed OF some information whose char
acter she consider ed sufficient ground t0I
divorce. w e are happy to add that the right
eous and gallant Judiciary OF California
granted her demand at the earliest possible
moment.
Ii would not be proper or philosophical
to let this case now pass from recollection
without drawing from 1t such conclusions
as may be of value to the public. There
are u Thousand things to be taught by this
occurrence, OF which We shall OF but one.
This one relates to one Of the most lmpor-
tant problems OF the day; and it is ke
by which the solution of that problem
will become as easy as turning over enc s
hand,
In the discussion at the conventions of
stroDg minded women, two or three things
are noticeable. One OF these is, that hus>
bands are put down as tvrsnts in the matter
OF politics, and as nlnnies and lncapabIes
III the domestic compact. Another thing
IS that the strong minded invariable regard
children as nuIselceS, and maternity as a
burden whose bearing should be avoided at
all hazards. And, finally, il will be observ
that the strong minded always regard them
selves az a superior creation, WI lse true
sphere is vastly highet, pure. aud more
noble than that of men.
The intelligent reader is, by this time
prepared to anticipate low We propose to
solve the problem advanced by the strong
minded. Nevertheless, We shall proceed
to state 1t all the same. 1t is this: Let
the strong minded and eminently superior
females OF the age initiate the California
case, and marry each other,
Anybody can see, at once, that this set
ties the whole thing. The strong minded
will escape their pet nuisances, children and
maternity. They will have matrimonial
unions from which will be elimated the ty-
rant and brute, man. They viii, moreover,
have unions 10 which will be contained only
that superior element-wonan.
We are certain that this proposition will
meet With the unanimously approval OF
Mrs. livermore aad all her followers. We
are also quite certain that if there be any
objection to it, it will not c0me from men.
With a remarkable unanimity, every one of
the tyrants will consent to renouuce all his
claims upon the hands and hearts of these
stern, immaculate females Chicago

sas- The death of a child from injuries
committed on it by ferret is reported from
Egerton, Kent, England. 1t seems that a
laboring man named Cha mber quilted home
with his wife, leaving an infant, fourteen
months old, in the house. In their absence
stray ferret got into the room where the
child was lying and attacked it. When the
parents returned home they found the in
FAINT dead; its eyes were removed, and part
of the nose had been gnlwed away. When
discovered, the ferrea flew al Cham bers,
and appeared very wild and feroclous. 1t
was killed as speedily as possible The
presumption is that the ferret had beeh
laid up in rabbit hole near, and, pressed
by hunger. had strsyed into the house in
qnest of food.

SILK in Ancient Times.

That celebrated spendthriit and most
luxurious Of mankind, Heiogabaus, was
the first Roman who wore "a robe Of pure
silk and probably the first Of any country
The Greeks were acquainted with the al
tce much earlier than the Romans. !. la the
reign Of the Emperor Auelian, ne refused
to buy a silk dress for his wife on account
Of the expense At that time silk was
worth its weight il gold The silk worm
is a native of China and the neighboring
parts Of Asia. At is Of the caterpiilcr spe
cles, and like others of the genus, becomes
a butterfly. 1t is produced from an egg,
and when about to die, or rather change
his form, it spins for itself an envelope call
a cocoon. The fbers OF the cocoon are
wound off on reel AM this called raw
silk. In the year 555, the Roman Emper-
or justinian obtained from two Persian
monks a few silkwolm egg, which the monks
had concealed in the hollow OF their canes.
He also got from these monks few mul
berry seeds and the necessary instructions,
and after few hundred years the culture
of the silk worm vas spread throughout
Italy, Spain, France, and some other Eu
r0pean countries. 1t was introduced into
England during the reign oe james the
First. Fine American silk is now manu-

Joke On Sherman.

Sherman travelled with the left wing un-
der Gen. Slocum. After a long and
wearisome march, he, one day crossed
over to the right wing. under Gen. How

which had just been pitched, the Medical
director came in, well acquitted with the
habits and customs OF both. Gen. Sher.

Gen. Howard was strongly opposed to

tt man Of physic departed, and General
Howard: who took everything literally,
ran to his valise and got powder, which
he mixed and handed to Sherman.
There is no need to go away for one,
if that is what you want, he said /; and
Sherman, inwardly Chagrined, but highly
amused, drank the cup mantully, to the
myth of the bystanders, who compre-
hended the whole magnitude of the joke
at a glance.
