A STRANGE CASE Richard Rice, about 10
years old, while returning home from his shop
in Salem on Monday evening, was assaulted
by man, apparently about As years of age,
dressed in farmers frock, with slouched
Kossuth hat, who seized young Rice BY both
arms, exclaming, "Now have got youv' and
attempted to throw him into the water. He
was strong ard powerful but the lad made a
stout resistance; when their feet touched the
water the man let go of Rce's right arm, and
Rice at once struck bis assalant heavy blow
square in the face. This came so suddenly that
he let go OF Rice and fell backward into tn 3
sluiceway. Rice at once took to his heels and
heard him splashing as he left. AS the tide at
that point runs very swift and was going out,
the chances are that the man was drowned
Rice went to the signal station, at the entrance
of the tunnel, where he told his story and
wanled some man to go back with lantern to
se-rch for the man, but could not get any one
to go. He then went home to his mothers in
n orth street, and from there direct to the sta
ton house, where he told his story to Assistant
Marshal Chapple, who locked Rice up and sent
detail of police with lanterns, ETC., to look az
ter the man. Their search, however, proved
unavailing, and was to be resumed in the
mornng.-BoStOn Ado.

CT III new YORK paper says:
The cost of fashionable wedding is some.
thing marvellous to contemplate; and as all
fathers whose daughters are married according

they manage to meet the expenses. In re-

party, which included six bridesmaids and
groomsmen, for the ushers and for all who took

WOMEN IN EURoPE.-Rev. DR.. Osgood of
New York delivered lecture on the above
subject in that city on Monday evening, the
material being derived chiefly from his obser.
yations during his late tour in Europe. He
first touched upon the subordination of wo-
men. By the common law of England the
wife is holly subjected to tie husband. She
is not his workman as in Germany, his slave
as in India, his toy as in France, but his de-
pendent child. He was surprised in England
to hear pleasing and intelligent women, both
married and single, admit that men were su-
perior to themselves in GOODNESS, courage, and
reasonableness. In Italy, France, and Spain,
the husband is the lord of the house, and has
supreme authority over his wife and children.
The lecturer warned his hearers that it was
not well for the daughters of Americans to
marry into the Latin races, as the discipline
might prove too severe. The French make
ting her to be mistress of the hearth and home.
They seek for marriage without love, and for
love without marriage. The Immortality of
the Efench IS az amazing as it is poisonous and
debilltating. The Doctor then enlarged upon
the scope of fashion, which he con sdered
sort OF ritual of woman worship. Everywhere
be found women the victims of fashion, and
dress the predominant idea among them. The
women's trunks occupied an inordinate space
on ocean steamers and railway trains. In Ty-
rol and few other Of the out-of- the way coun-
tries in Europe only had he found picturesque
ness in female dress, and even the Tyroiese
dressed just as their ancestors did.
The frequent appearance of women in pic
lures and statuary in the churches was sur
prising to Americans. The lecturers heart had
been gaddened to see SO many devout faces of
religious women. Nevertheless, the emphasis
given to the Virgin Mary was as offensive as it
was startling. She was the Divinity of the
multitude. And so there was women in spite
of her subo dinaton. The great physical
strength OF European women was surprising.
On landing at D;eppe he was struck with the
throDg OF stout AmaZOns in the market. In
Germany and Switzerland most of the hard
work was left to the women. He was aston
ished at the heavy weights they carried on
their heads. He had seen women acting as
bod carriers. It was somewhat remarkable
that statistics showed that the vitality of wo-
men was superior to that of men.
The lecturer concluded with some observa-
lions on the agitation for the emancipation of
women. He wished to be considered progress
i've, and yet, while the two sexes in their re-
spective spheres were equal, there was a GER
tain snbordination. He would save women
from the coarse scramble for political office
ln Europe he saw little of the disposition
which was observable among strong-minded
women here, to excite quarrel between the
sexes. The condition of women in America,
Willie susceDtible of improvement, was on the
whole greatly superior to that of the sex in
