Condition Of Women i'm RusSja.

Inc Journaldas Desbates publishes an inter
esting correspondence on the condition of
women in Russia. After observing that the
most striking feature in Russian history is the
abruI tnoss of the changes in the condition of
the country, il adds that the position of women
offers one Of the most salient examples Of this
abruptness. In the early legends of the Russian
people woman represents the principle of evil.
The popular songs warn men against her in
fuence, and the effect OF her charms is attribu-
ted to sorcery. The Mohamedan despotism of
the Tartars rendered her position still moro de-
graded, and she was confined to her own apart
ments, which were known the terem Peter
the Great made sudden alteration in this as i'm
other Russian usages, and fore ID the ladies' to
live IN the world. In less than a century four
women occupied the throne of Russia, and one
of them, the daughter of the great reformer
himself, conferred on women civil rights. I'm
der Catherine III. the Princess Dashkof was
President of the Academy of Sciences. The
new Institutions Of self government confer the
right of voting on the female holders of real
property. This vote must be given through a
male deputy, but he can be freely chosen and
no law obliges a married woman to delegate her
husband. In spite Of all these privileges, the
Russian women are profoundly disconnected
with their condition.

The Appleton Divorce Case.

One of the most singular divorce cases ever
brought before New York court is the one
entered in the name of Samuel f. Appleton by
his brother, Daniel s. Appleton, of the celebrated
publishing house of Appleton s. Co. The striking
slngularity OF this case is the fact hat the plain
till sues, not in person, but by proxy, and the
reason of this is Samuel F. Appleton has bee N for
some time non comPoS naentis, and an inmate of a
lunatic asylum. In March, 1854, Mr.. Appleton
married Mrs. Warner, whose husband to whom
she was married in 1871, had gone to California
IN 1886, and As he had not been heard from for
some years was believed to be dead. But to re-
move all obstacles to q second marriage, Mrs.
Warner obtained divorce in an Indiana court
though the decree was not granted till about a
month after she was married to Mr. Appleton.
Within three years after the marriage Mr.. Apple
ton became insane, and his brothers seat him to
an asylum in Connecticut; but in the meantime
the first husband of Mrs. Appleton turned up in
New YORK. whittier he had come from CaliforRia q.
Shortly after MIR. Appleton was sent to the asy-
lum lis brother, Daniels, commenced proceed
lngs for the annulment of his marriage, on the
ground, believe, of fraudulent representations
on the part of his wife. James 4. Brady took
up the ease of the latter, and was very jealous
in her behalf. The question to be first decided
was, whether, under the peculiar circumstances
the plaintiff could sue by proxy; and this Ques-
ton has just been decided in tue aft rmative by
Judge Cardozo, who has had it under cOnsidera-
ton for over a year. Judge Cardozo finally
found precedent tor allowing the next friend of
lunatic to sue for him in such a case and the
substance OH decision is that Daniel s. Apple
ton has right to carry OH proceedings i'm the
nam6 OF Samuel F. Annleton for divor1, nom
the woman who was married to him while she
had another husband still living. The point of
law involved in this case is one of great impor-
lance, and constitutes the chief interest of the
suit The probabilities are that the case will be
carried to the highest state court before Mrs.
Appleton, or Mrs. Warner, will submit.

WATERPROOF GLUB.-Ordinary glue can be
rendered insoluble In water by adding to the
water with which it is mixed, when required for
use, small quantity of bichromate of potash,
and exposing the articles to which it is applied
to the light. Chronic acid has the property of
rendering glue and gelatine insoluble; and as
the operation OF heating the glue-pot is usually
conducted in the light, no special exposure of
the article to which 1t is attached need be made,
pervious to water by FASTING the sheets with this
prepared glue. The bichromate Is said to render
rubber particularly hard and unattackabie by
hot water. The proportion Of bichromate to be
taken must be ascertained by experiment.; for

employed will be found ufiicient-Erchanoe
