AN eastern paper feelingly conn
ments on flies thusly:
"When Moses got up fl les to both
er the people of Egypt, his head was
level. They are little the meanest
thing known in science. Take it
Sunday afternoon and between six
and eight o'clock in the morning,
when any one is trying TO get nap,
and have perverse, persistent, and
pertinacious pusillanimous fly come
to you a thousand and nineteen times
in succession, is enough to make a
Pharaoh let go not only of the Jews,
but, his mersehaum pipe, and his
prettiest servant girl. A boarder at
one of our hotels who was subject to
this plague of flies, woke up the 9TH
er morning with the bed mattrass
twisted around his neck aud tied in
a double-bow knot. We calculate
that he rolled over in bed so many
times this morning, that if the same
number of revolutions were given o
mustard seed, 1t would roll to Alaska
and back again. ...

details of the prospect of the
approaching harvest in the corn
growing countries of Europe. In
Prussia the provisions are unfayora-

persisted; and those of the spring are
suffering from wan: of warm, sun !;
i'm Saxony the appearance is better and
the crops are thick and healthy; in
Russia the yield is expected to be a
good average. and very large guam
tity of last years stock still remains
unsupported at Odessa; i'm Roumania
Bulgaria, and Bessarrabia, the aspect
is most favorable, and In Hungary
all abundant harvest Is expected In

Can Wife Sue q Husband on a Note


From the New York Standard. 81 s-'.-I
In the case of Wright vs.. Wright,
in tho Supreme Court, it was shown
by the evidence given before the
referee that the defendant desired the
plaintiff to wife. She insisted that
first he should give her mortgage
on his property, which he declined.
They compromised by his giving her
O note for $4,000, whereupon she
promised TO marry him, and he did
marry her. Unfortunately they soon
quarreled, and ultimately separated.
She brought suit ON the note; the
case was referred; the referee found
for the lady, and the husband APP
pealed, the ground being failure of
consideration Of the note, and that a
wife might not sue her husband.
r. The court, though divided, found
for the lady. Judge Cardozo, giving
the opinion of the majority, holds
that the .condsideration--a promise
of marriage followed by its fulfill
ment-is sufficient, and that what
ever may have been the old law, un-
der the recent statutes giving @ wife
independent rights i'm her property,
her right of action was net extin-
guished by her coverture. What
ever her action should have been at
law, or on the equity side of the
court, he holds immaterial in this
case, since the same judge would sit
i'm both. ~ a1 ..3 -.ss ", -.,st =, 4.
Judge Barnard, dissenting, thinks
that the consideration did not arise,
and therefore the contract was not
