Russia appears to be the most prepos-
ferrous country in Europe in its treatment
of women. The nuptial ceremonies, all
and singular, are based upon the idea of
the degradation of the female. When
the parents have agreed upon the match,
the bride is examined by II number of
women to see if she has any bodily defect
On her wedding day she is crowned with
a garland Of wormwood, to denote the
bitterness of the marriage state She is
cxhortcd to be obcdient to her husband
it is n custom in some districts for the
newl Unmarried wife to present the bride.
groom with whip, in token of submission
and with this he seldom fails to show his
authority. In this cold and crnel country
husbands are sometimes known to torture
their wives to death without any punish
ment for the murder. Ifa woman proves
barren, the husband generally prevails on
her to retire into convent and leave him
at liberty If he fails in persuasion he rs

ion
Such is the slavery in which the Mus
covitcs are kept by their parents and
guardians, that they are not allowed to
dispute any union agreed upon by their
elders. however odious and incompatible
it may be. This extends so far, that Off
GERS in the army are not permitted to
marry without the consent of the sovcr-
cign, and wives whom they do not want
aro sometimes even forced upon them.
Whether it be the result of this system
Of oppression, or of their savage climate,
or of the unnatural hot air of the stove
heated apartments, it is certain that a
more unlovely race of woman than the
Russian would be difficult to find. "They
want" says an English traveller, "thc
genuine flavor which only nature can
give. That charming iimncss and elast-
city Of flesh, so indispcnsably requisite TO
constitute beauty, and so delicious to the
touch, exists not among the Russian ic-
males or in very few of them"
We are told of the Alcutian Islanders
who form a part of our New Russian
American acquisition, that they marry
one two or three wives, as they have the
means of supporting them. The BRIDE
groom takes the bride upon trial, and may
return her to her parents should he not
be satisfied, but cannot demand his
presents back again. No man is allowed
to sell his wife without her consent but
he may land often does) assign her over
to another. This custom, it is said, is
availed of by the Russian hunters, who
take Aleutian women or girls to wife for
n time, for triAing compensation.

No BAcKBoNE.-Nicei is bad, and mali
gnant wickedness is worse, but beyond
either in evil results to mankind is weak
ness. If every one in this world had q
backbone there would not be nearly az
much misery or guilt as there is now, for
we must give each individual of the
"cruel strong" large following of VIC
tins and it would be easy to demonstrate
that the progress of nations has
always been in proportion to
the number of stiff backbones
among them. Yet unfortunately limp
people abound, to the detriment of society
and to their own certain sorrow See
one of these poor creatures left widow,
if woman-turned out of his office, if a
man-and then judge Of the value of q
backbone by the miserable consequence
of its absence. The widow is simply lost
in the wilderness of her domestic solitude.
She may have money, and she may have
relations but she is as poor as if she
had nothing better than parish relief, and
unless some one will take her up and
manage everything conscientiously, as
lonely as if she were an exile in q strange
land. Her servants make her their prey;
her children tyranizc over her and utter
ly ignore her authority; her boys 60 to
the bad her girls get fast and loud; all
her own meek little ideas of modesty and
virtue are rudely thrust to the wall, and
she is obliged to submit to family disord-
er which she neither likes nor encourages,
but which she has not the strength to op-
pose nor the wisdom to direct. She may
be the incarnation of all sanity quail
ties in her own person, but by mere want
Of strength she is the occasion by which
very pandemonium is carried on and
the worst house of community is sure
to be that of a quiet, gentle, molluscous
little widow, without one single vicious
proclivity so far as she is concerned, but
without the power to reprcss or even to
rebuke vice in Others. A molluscoui
man, too, suddenly elected from his long
accustomed groves, presents just as
wretched picture of helplessness and
unshiftiness. In vain his friends suggest
this or that independent endeavor he
shakes his head, and says he can't-it
won't do what he wants is place where
he is not obliged to depend on himself
where he has to do a fixed amount o1
work for fixed salary, and where his
fberless platicity may find mould ready
formed, into which it may run without
the necessity of forging shapes for itself
Many man of esrpectable intellectual
powers has gone down to ruin, and dice
miserably, because of his limpness, which
made it impossible for him to break new
ground or to work at anything whatsoeve'
with the stimulus of hope only.-Sat~r'

4 Cheering Outlook.

Signs of progress in the popular taste
for Art, in America, with increased OPP
portunitles for its qualification, and for
the general and specific diffusion of
knowledge in this department, are every
where apparent.
Noteworthy enterprises of greater or
less magnitude are being agitated, or are
already progressing, in all, or nearly all,
of the principal cities. In Boston and
New York the preliminary steps looking
to the formation of Art Museums upon n
liberal scale have been taken, while, in the
latter city, the consolidation of the two art
schools gives promise of better results in
the future than in the past, In Chicago,
Brooklyn and Philadelphia, the erection
of buildings for the Academies of Design,
in the respective cities, are already COM
mcnccd, or will be during the present sea-
son. The one in Philadelphia, the man.
ayers promise, is to be among the finest
buildings devoted to art instruction in
this country or in Europe. The press of
the country, too, seems to have caught
something of the prevailing spirit, and
Art is becoming a topic of everyday dis
cussOn.
All these things are substantial encour-
agcment to those who have, in the years
past, felt in its most literal sense that
"Art is long" The Art Review wishes
to do its share Of the pleasant work which
is yet hardly more than begun. We
Americans are learning the alphabet now ;
by and by we can form these into words
Then Art will lose its mystery. and be-
come glorious reality, the power of
which, when intcllgently and fully ap-
preciated, when felt in our nations life,

hard places in our characters, most glo-

to tender lines of beauty and grace
