The Laws Of Ohio md the YTOs
men.

The Laws Of Ohio md the Wo.
men,
Judge Tilden, of Cleveland, in a
communication to the Herald, speak
ing of the position of women before
the laws of Ohio, thus sums up the
condition of our State laws as relates
to the condition of women, both as a
property owner and as a wife:
First-The wife is allowed to make
her will and dispose of her real and
personal property as she pleases, ire
spective 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 pro-
erty as she had at the time of marriage
and all such property as she may have
acquired during coverture. If it be
lands, she may lease them, and receive
the rents to her own use, and the hus-
band can have no control over the
property, real or personal, nor can he
require her to employ any portion of
it for the support of the family. but he
must support 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 proper
ty, and so of all his real estate, unless
it came by devise, descent, or deed of
gift, from an ancestor. In this case she
takes a life interest in his whole real
estate, and if the real estate came not
by devise, descent, or deed of gift, she
takes all.
FOurth-If the husband, from in
temperance or other cause, fails to make
suitable provision for her, she, by ap-
plicatiOn to court, may be clothed with
all the rights of single woman, make
contracts, sue and be sued, &c.
Fifth-At the death of her husband
leaving children she takes Il dover in
terest in one third absolutely of all his
personal property. In addition to this
she has years support out Of his es-
ALNC anu COA LcsliA al 1AC4Co O4 PCloOlldl
property.
Sixth-She may bring suit against
her husband during coverture for any
invasion of her property.
Seventh-In case of any question
between them as to the custody of
their children, no superior claim is
recognized in the husband. The ques
tion of custody is settled with refer
ereuce to the best interests of the child.
Eighth-If the husband Off4r per-
sOnal violence she may prosecute him
as though he were a stranger.
The husband has but one advantage
over the wife. He has life estate in
the whole Of her real property in case
of her death, while in case of his death
she has a life interest in a third of his
real estate. At marriage, if he has
and she has none, and she is
in debt, the law compels him to pay
those debts, while if he be in debt at
marriage and has no property, she is
not obliged to pay his debts. On the
whole, as the law now stands, the
husband suffers most by the marriage
relation in Ohio.

The Spanish Government satisfies neith-
er the Republicans nor the friends of mon
archical institutions. It does not eoncede
the liberty which the former demand, and
lacks the dignity and splendor acceptable
to the latter. In the Cortes, recently,
Senior CASTELAR, harrangued the authorities
in a speech of great eloquence and severi-
ty, charging them with repressing every
movement looking toward real freedom,
and with using unconstitutional means for
the preservation of their power. He be-
lieved that the days of monarchy had de-
parted forever, and no king was wanted,
and closed as follows:
. The enigma of our situation must cease.
Save us from it in the interest of all! If
you wish the people to obey you, you must
obey the law. My friends and myself are
resolved to contribute all we can to nor
NAL epoch of order and peace. We wish
liberty, and the government of the people
by the people. We wish nothing to do
with the conservatives. If you wish to
win US to your banner, don't offer US en-
ploys and places, nor commands. We
wish not those-we despise them Offer
us the government of the people by the
of Church and State,
reduction of the army, and national re-
serve, diminutiOn in the taxes, &c, and
then you will see US unite with you in the
of all grand ideas. The sword

From the Missouri Republican
A Mathematical Prodigy.

At or near Warrensburg, Johnson
county, in this State, resides poor
widow woman, who has son, Reuben
Field. mere boy, untutored, and
seemingly almost incapable of literary
culture, who yet possesses most re-
markable powers of mental calcula-
ton. As evidence of this, among
many other evidences that might be
citedi a gentleman of St. L,uis, who
had heard Of his possessing this facul-
ty, sent him the following figures, viz:
145, l45, l45, l45, asking him to square
this number mentally that is, multi
ply the number by itself, and send
him the result, with the time taken to
perform it, scarcely believing, how
ever, Notwithstanding the extraordin-
ary accounts related OF him, that he
would be capable of the task. In this,
however, he was mistaken, as were
others to whom the proposition had
been named. A letter has been re-
ceived by the gentleman named from
a highly respectable and reliable citi,
zen of Warrensburg, who states that
in three minutes' time the boy Field,
mentally and accurately pronounced
the result, q, ,067, lib, 1853, ,163, ,117,O71,-
O25, or, written in words, twenty-One
seXtiliiOns sixty-seven quintiIions one
hundred and thirteen quadrilIions one
hundred and ifty-nine trilIions one
hundred and sixty-three billions one
hundred and seventeen millions seven
ty-one thousand and twenty-five.
Though such exhibitions of mental
powers of calculation as the one exhib-
tied in the above are not altogether
unheard of, they are nevertheless ex-
ceedingly rare. In this instance, it
will appear all the more marvellous
when it is stated that this boy, Reu-
ben Field, is almost entirely unedu-
Gated. Indeed, the letter referred to
above says Field maintains it is of"no
use for him to 60 to school, as he
can't learn anythingand never could"
In fact,savein this matter ofcalculation,
in which he is a marvel, he is said to
be ''very ignorant in all other mat
ters," lazy, unceuth, disposed to wan
der idly from place to place, and
worst Of all, perhaps, "is very fond of
drink" Yet, the letter states che can
repeat the eighty seventh line in mul-
tiPlieation backward and forward, !
and does many marvellous things in
calculating mentally"
Let those who think the solution
required in the proposition given
above can not be difficult one, be-
cause rendered by an illiterate and
uncultivated boy, call to mind that
this solution by the usual forms of
requires the use of one
hundred and ninety-one figures, one
hundred and forty four multiplica-
tions, twenty-three additions, and if |
teen combinations of figures. and that
this, by the ordinary processes Of null
is to be performed and re- |
tained in the mind, until the process
is completed. When they realize this,
or attempt the solution itself, they
will very likely come to the conclu-
sion that Reuben Field is a prodigy |
in mental calculations.
