and at night return on Camels to their
families in their distant tents. DR..
Thomson saw Arab tents, in 1885, cover
ing miles in extent along the border OF
Palestine, where the BedOuins were
plOughing and sowing. The British
Consul Of AleppO reported, in 1850, that
the prospects Of the settled BedOuins
seem encouraging. I see no reason, in
herent in the Arab race, why the Be
dOUins should not become an aVricultur-
al, a prosperous, and a cililiZed race.
Their traditions tell of the glOries Of the
past, in which labor was honorable; and
Lamartine speaks Of a civilization now
in the desert, "Where chivalry was born,
and where it must be sought again-a
civilization apart, as inalterable as the
granite"
If they are kept in a wild state by a
standing miracle, that is another mat
ter. say this reverently; but, admit
ting the popular Interpretation to be
correct, we are not now looking at the
subject from the Scriptural standpoint.
Apparently, then, the causes that keen
these tribes out Of the pale Of feivilizatiOn
are eXtraneOus, and not Of an iFremedia-
bic character. We have a similar cues
ton among the Indians Of the American
forests, and it may be possible that the
BedOuin Arabs, who have so much in
common with the red men, might be
successfully treated by a governmental
system Of the parental character, which
distinguishes the measures adODted bv
the government Of the United States.

Women,s Rlghts, In ONO.

How few there are of these restless
creatures, the WOmen's Rights agita-
tors, who have any knowledge of what
rights are already secured to them in
this State. Judge Tilden, of Cleveland
presents these public scOlds with this
mirror:
By the laws of Ohio I do not find that
she now suffers.
First-The wife is allowed to make
her will and dispose Of her real and per-
sOnal property as she pleases, irrespec-
i've of the wishes of her husband; he,
however, having a life estate in her real
property after her decease.
SecOnd-She has the exclusive con-
troll, during cOverture, of all such prop
erty as she had at the time of her mar
riage, and all such property as she may
have acquired during cOveTture. If it
be land, she may lease them and receive
the rents to her own use, and the hUs-
band can have no control over her prop
erty, real or personal, nor can he require
her to employ any portion of it for the
support of the family, but he must sup
port her and her family from his own
resources.
Third-If the husband dies, leaving
no children or their representatives, she
inherits all of his personal property, and
also all his real estate, unless it came by
devise, descent, or deed of gift, from an
ancestor. In that case she takes a life
interest in his whole real estate, and if
the real estate came not by devise, de-
scent, or deed of gift, she takes it all.
FOUrth-If the husband, from intem-
peTance or other cause, fails to make
suitable provision for her, she, by ap-
plicatiOn to court, may be clothed with
all the rights of a single woman, make
contracts, sue and be sued, &c.
Fifth-At the death of her husband
leaving children, she takes dover in
terest in One-third of his real estate, and
also One-third absolutely of all his
personal property. In addition to this,
she has a years support out of his es-
tate and certain articles OfpersOnal prop
erty.
SiXth-She can bring suit against her
husband during cOvertuTe for any inva-
sion of her property.
Seventh-In case of any question be-
tween them as to the custody Of the
children, no superior claim is recognized
in the husband. The question of custody
is settled with reference to the best in
terest of the child.
Eighth-If the husband offers per-
sOnal violence she, may prosecute him
the same as if he were a stranger.
The husband has but one advantage
over his wife. He has a life estate in
the whole of her real property in case of
her death, while in case Of his death she
has but life interest in a third of his
real estate. At marriage, ifhe has prop
erty and she has none, and is in debt,
the law compels him to pay those debts,
while if he be in debt at marriage and
has no property and she has property,
she is not obliged to pay his debts. On
the whole, as the law now stands, the
husband suffers most from the marriage
relation, in Ohio.

makes better feed. The stalk is finer.
1t is less heavy QOng,) and therefore
less apt to lodge. 1t will stand closer,
and thus afford a thicker cutting-not
heavier swaths than the large-but SOL
ider, more concentrated, and more nu-
tritiOUs. Such seems to be the expert
ence. Then there is q week OF ten days
earlier feed in the spring. The small
clover also seems to hold the soil better;
you can make a permanent thing of it
as is done here in some cases-On up
land thoroughly drained; the last is an
indispensable condition. Frequent cut
ting,-cutting when green,-is also an
aid in this respect. To cut for seed is
apt to annihilate, or atleast seriously in
terfere with the permanence of the
plant.
The medium clover, therefore, is pre-
ferred; and it is doing a good work. 1t
is rapidly bringing up our land, which
was run down, originally not too rich.
We begin to raise wheat again, and
heavy crops of corn, which formerly
used to fail often, and seldom made a
good report Barley and oats are now
almost always a heavy, seldom a
nOn-TenUmerative, crop. 1t is the sod
that does this,-bUt mostly to clover
roots in it. 1t is the way that land here
is mainly manUred. This seems to be
the heaIthiest manure, and for all pUr-
poses, and to be used at Once,-and it
certainly is The cheapest.-G.

A PrOfessOFshIP of Local Editing
Demanded.


A PROPOS to the establishment in
Washington College, Virginia, of a de-
partment for education in journalism,
the Cincinnati Times thinks there should
be a special prOfessOrship for instruction
in local editing, and indicates that the
course of instruction should be, as fol-
lows:
'The student in the local business
should have a great deal of exercise on
his legs each day-taught that it isn't
brains, so much as leg talent, that is re-
Quired to make an efficient local report
er He must learn to smell an item a
long distance, as the model WaT-hOrse
tsnuffeth the battle from afaF,' and spare
no eXertiOn in finding it. His fancy and
imagination need to be cultivated some
what, and his invention quickened and
encouraged, in order that he may have
something to fall back on in case things
persistently refuse to happen, for the
public demands local news every day,
remember, whether there be any or not
Deprive them Of able leaders and they
may stand it for day or two, but they
won't give up their local news not for a
single issue.
"The wOuld-be local will require little
instruction in regard to receiving pres
wine, oysters, cigars, dead head tickets
etc, etc. They learn that very readily
The professor can do as he pleases about
advising them to accept or refuse such
peTquisites. If any conscientious young
local should have any scTuples about ac-
cepting, we would remind him that he
has as high authority as the President of
the United States for taking in any pres
entS offered him. and he can initiate il
or not.
"The student should be taught to miss
his meals often, sit up late at night, eat
all sorts of festive suppeTs, and sit pa
tientIy to hear long and dull speeches
from after dinner, orators. HemUstIearn
not to be alarmed by threats of horse
whipping, and must be licked OCCASION
lyby the professor to accUstOm him to any
incidents Of the kind that are not i'm
probable to occur.
'He must be taught to have no emo
tiOns of his own, to look upon all calam-
tiles with purely professional eye, to
observe and describe the cOnvulsing hu-
NOR of popular comedian, and catch
the last sigh Of an expiring victim of the
hangman, with the same stOical indif-
ference. The professor of local reporting
ought to hang a man occasionally in the
presence Of the class, in order that they
may become accustomed to reporting
executions. And finally, the candidate
for the local chair should learn to live
on a moderate income, steTnly subdue
all inclinatiOns for more than the neces-
saries of life, and be willing to give pow
erty a smiling welcome, until fate or his
own eXeTtiOns, hOists him to a higher
place."
