Mr.. Casaubon, the learned pundit Of mid
dlemarch," spent most OF his life in collecting
tho materials for q work to be entitled s'The
Key to All Mythologies." Unfortunately, he died
before all his memoranda we're finished, and tho
amiablo Dorothea, his literary e1ecutri1, after
vainly stiving to master tho index to his
vast accumulations. gayo mp in despair. So tho
Key to All 3lythologies was lost. The american
sculptor, Story, has supplemented the work OF
the lamented Casaubon, to some extent, in q
paper which he has contributed to tho Fortnight
IL Rerie1o, which is just now making something
OF sonsation in England. It is entitled IA
Cony ersation with Marcus Aurelius." Mr. Story
falls asleep over tho Meditationa OF the dead
Emperor, and has vision and aconveraation on
the religious beliefs OF the ancient world. We

in it which will, perhaps, give offence to some
readers but it is altogether high-toned aud

VILLAGE SCANDAL.

It Is a common remark that Chicago was set
forward ten years By the fire. The mingled
town and village aspects gone, with tie build
ings OF the early day that held the latter character
in tho centre of the city. Tho tendency is to
the metropolitan in every thing,-buildlngs and
their uses, stores and their occupants. And vii
lage notions arc passing away with them. Even
advertisers cease to insist on locations at easy
distance from the Post-Ofice," aud milo Of our
present area eeems less than four or five blocks
few seasons ago. We are getting to DO COM
munity OF atrangera. No one expects to know and
nod to half tho audience ct church CT theatre,
aud, - to knowing ones neighborB, that has
become lost art. One Of the few lingering
traces OF the old transparent town life: wheTo
everybody knew everybody else, is presented IN
the rnds on local neighborhoods and church
congregations that have become staple with
the Chicago Times. Imagine the possibility OF
such Journalism in any Of tho older cities, What
New York or Philadclphia journal would give
space to the gossip OF sewing g-societies, mite
societies, church-choirs, sociebles, prayer-meet-
legs. Dapl1Bu1b. 0uuuAs aAo teoIAJ

and the stranger that il within his gates. AL
though wholly contemptiblo it is not very harm
ful, because Chicago is now Of go largo growth
that, were the c.ricatured prcsentments more
Ifo-like than they are, tho descriptions could
not be fitted with names by one in ten OF tho
regular attendants in any Of the con-
gregations thus asssi!ed. It would have
been different i few years ago, when IN actlyo
reporter could have asccrtniued in ten
minutes research what our leading citizens had
for dinner, who ate with his knife. wLo
chevs tobacco, and who lends money at 2 per
cent month. But such enterprise was not
then dreamed of. Tho af1]icton cannot last
long. Chicsgo has outgrown neighborhood
gossip Wo trust the church congregations will
take this view Of the matter, and sit for their
pictures calmly.

Goodrich had been criminally concerned with
tho woman who las teen arrested, and that his
death is in some way the result of those rela-
tions. The probability is that be had tired OF
the woman, endcavored to "shako her" as ho
phrased it. and thus brought nbout = desire 1of
revenge which resulted in violent death, anu
tho disgrace which attaches to the social crlme
that frequently has this sort OF termination
The Goodrich case is BY no means e1copt1onA.
It is one of familiar class. It is similar IN
general characteristics and result to that OF Col.
Crittepden, who met lis death at the hand OF
Laura Fair, who assumed tho right to kill him
upon desertion as among those rights which he
delegated to her when he deserted his own wife
and family to live with her. 1t belongs to tho
same category as that Of Fisk, whose death WAS
directly brought about by his association with .
bawd It's moral is not different from that
found in the death Of George Watson, who was
ehot By his victim, Fanny Hyde,-a woman whom
one jury has failed to convict, and who will prob
ably never be convicted. Tho sudden and
violent death OF Goodrich, whether murdered
bv Lucille Meyers or at her inBtigatlon, IL un-
doubtedly the result Of the scandalous and Grim
inal relations which he had with this woman
during his life.
Tho public excitement incident to mysterious
death, or the public indignation felt toward the
murderer, is too apt to conceal the most useful
lesson contained in cases Of tho Goodrich kind.
Every man who deserts his own wife and family,
or who eets at defiance the moral restraints
which surround the sexual relation, may, sooner
or later, expect some terrible denouement and
some f1ightful punishment. This punishment is
not always a violent and sudden death. The
crime is not always followed by shooting. 1t re-
suits sometimes in pecuniary ruin, but oftenest
in exposure and disgrace, which arc frequently
more bitt or than death itself. The doctrine Of
retr;butire Justice nowhere assorts itself is for
cibly as in cases where purity of Life is sacrificed
to the qualification Of lust. Tho very foundation
Of aociety rests upon the eanctity OF the mar
riage relation. When this sauctity is violated,
tho trespassoro place themselves over danger
GUS mine which will explode sooner or later.

rHp LATE sNOW.STORM.

The anoy-storm that visited Chicago On 1ues-
dsy last was alike remarkable for 'lolence eoo
a1+ent We do not yet know the limits Of the
area tra7erBed byit; but we kno" enough 10 10
.h'e to state that that area was unusually VIDE.
The storm was one of those general atmospheric
movements which nearly belt the earth. 1t
probably arose in tha Arctic regions, beyond
Alaska. in tho middle Of the week preceding; and
rushed steadily forward, in Bouthoasterly di-
rect!on. to Pembinn, which place was reached
early on Monday morning. Thence it passed
southeast to Chicago, after which it gradually
reered round to the direction of due east, and
then to the northeast, passing down the Valley
OF the St. Lawrence, and into tue Atlantic Ocean,
in which its path is lost to us. The path OF the
storm-waye vas about $50 miles broad, and it's
rate OF progress vas approximately 19 miles per
hour.
The reports Of the United States sigual Scr
vice Department enable us to trace out the path
Ct this grand atmospheric wave with great e1-
acsness ; and to see that tho snow-stoEm proper
was Immediately preceded, along the entire line,
AA~N~N~Nt
hours in advance BY 4 low barometer. The last
named fact shows that the phenomenon Of the
storm movement was simply forward rush OF a
rolume Of sir to restore an equilibrium; because
.uc .oy; barometer is well known to be duo to
reduced air pressure, whatever may be the
:onse. It is easy enough to understand the
rationale of the movement, and also to see that
kuch movements generally deposit moisture; be-
:auso the capacity of air for sustaining vapor
increases more rapidly than the measure OF tcm-
peretrre, and hence, the meeting Of two vol
umes of air OF unequal temperatures reduces
tho sustaining power Of the resulting mixture.
Tho liberated moisture falls in the shape OF
SNOW, if the cold is great enough to freeze it
before it has had time to agglutinate into drops
in tho descent towards the earth. But it ia not
20 easy to understand tnhy the area of low ba-
roneter should thus shift steadily forward over
cou1ee ct several thousand miles.
The science Of meteorology has not !.st reached
that exactness which will enable US to predict
the time end direction OF these atmospheric
movements; though it has informed us OF the
general causos that produce them, and gives
aomo insight into tho conditions which indi-
cate poriod;city, both of time and place.
But that science has been developed
10 far within a few yearH past,
that We now know, approximately, the

more than forty miles per hour while the cleo
trio wave flashes along the wires at the rate Of
ut least 5000 miles Fer second. Hence the
galue OF the system Of storm algnals which has
now been in operation in tho United stetoa
nearly two and half years, and which gave to
many Of our renders ct least twenty-four hours
notice CT the storm that burst upon them with
z1ch fury on Tuesday last.

THE GOODRICH MURDER CASE,

New York and Brooklyn are excited over . re-
cent murder in the latter city, the circumstances
Of which gre scarcely less mysterious than those
surrounding tho famous Nathan murder. The
victim vas man Of means. named ". ". Good
rich, who had gono to Brooklyn about year be-
fore the time Of his death, and erected row OF
d,-e]l;rgu. Ho was wdowe1, bnt had room
fitted up in Que Of his untenanted houses. where
te lived. Last Fr;day morning, week ago, his
brother found him there desd, With two wounds on
his head, ono apparently caused BY sharp inBtru-
meut and tue other by pistol shot. The brother
had called at the house the d.y before, according
to custom, but had found it securely locked and
barred, and went away. Finding tho same con-
di:ion of things On Friday morning, he forcad an
entrance The murdered man had not been seen

concluded that he met his death On Wednesday

dences that there had been living people in

convincing cvidence that Goodrich had been

other valEables. This was speedily abandoned
however, in favor OF tho idea that he WAS killed

in tile habit OF coming to tho house. Tho
brother OF tho murdered mcn had himself
known a WOMAN to be there. Others had
so2n d wom2n citing on tho stepa, and
catczing tie house with Goodrich. There
yero other circumstances showing that Good
rich had maintained criminal relations with
certain sea.ns:ress named Lucille Meyers,
married woman who lived apart from her hus-
tand. Lucille Mevors WAS arrcsted and is now
in custody, though she declines to make any
statemcnt except that she had been on intimate
rela:iors with tho murdered man !; that lie lad
been in the habit of visiting her house, and that
fore Liz death with couple of men, from
whom she separated him. There is another
version Of those relstions which maintains
that Goodrich had tired of his mistress, oras the
phrase is, q he shook her" and w.s soon to be
married to e young lady in New York. It is sup
posed that the threatened desertion was the
cause, directly or indirectly, Of the murder. This
theory is sustained By the testimony OF + friend
rf Goodricu's. who eays that the murdered man
f,.d told bin Of his relations with woman whom
ne proposed to shake.".
Whatever may be the Snal outcome Of the
complicated circumstances Of the murder, it is
tl1osdv evident that " there Was woman At the

An important want OF tho American people is
good cookery. The American restaurants set
tables Loaded with indisestible faro. In tho
American hotels, Ill dishes are apparently cooked
in tho same utensiL Tho American boarding
house haa achieved national, it not world
wide, reputation, for the total deprarity Of it's
culinary character. Even in our wealthy homes
where there is 8 commendatle prido in tue
menu, there arc painful deficiencies and short
comings. American housekeepers Seem to
take it for granted that, il q cook
is high priced, he must bo good cook, and
TINT if his cookery is only expensive it must bo
excellent, when the reverse ig nearly always tho
caso, as Prof. Blot in his lccturing tour con-
clusiyely showed Americans have very little
idea Of the hidden properties Of bones,
and the resources which arc concealed in
the wasta Of the table. How many Amer
lean coc.s can take the roast OF to-day and
placa i! upon The table tomorrow, 30 that
it shall give no sign of ever having been
On the liable before, and perhaps, even place it
on the table for third time, without ita being
recognized? To do thus requires genius. The
successful cook must bo m artist; for cooking is
one OF the arts. II painting, which gratides the
eye and n,usic, which pleases the car, are dig
pi6ed with places among the arts, certainly any
thing which ticklcs the palate belongs there also.
But our cooks, instead OF being artists,
nro plodlers, They movo within q little circle Of

They can do fou things pretty we'll, but f.ilinan
emergency. They learn only what has boon
taught them. This is not art. Art is progrcs-
siye. It is always reaching out for new combi-
nations and effects. In the hands Of Il cook who
ia truly great, very slight and apparently unim-
rortant materials are capable OF being worked
into the most novel aud delightful effects. Tie
real artist of the skillet is continually devising
now forms and making new combinations In
tyo dishes alone, beef q la D1ods and beef la
hon,n,ande, it is astonishing how, with meat,
fov vegetables and spices, great cook will
mako dishes fit to serve King for it is not nee
esearv that these two dishes ehould always DO
the same ; on the other hand, they arc capable
OF almost endless variety. With soups and
salads and eggs, there is no limit to the COM
binationg which an artist can make We arc
still in the very infancy Of soups and salads, and
have as get no idea Of the possibilities lurking
in them which future genius will develop.
work on German National Cookery has re-
Gently been published, which is creating consid-
erablo excitement in Europe. In England, an
effort is being made to adapt it to the national
kitchen, and the experiment is worth trial in
this country. Americans hare an unworthy pro-
JUDGE against German cookery, which is founded
npon tile fact that two OF three OF their dishes
have peculiar embarrassment Of Riches
like caviar, Eauer k1aut, Limberger, hand
cheese, and some varieties Of sausage
There is no danger, however, that these dishes
will ever become naturalized, and it is as absurd
to object to German cookery because it includes

There is no question that the woman's-rights
movement has e1torted very important conces-
eions from Law and society. The Supreme Court
Of this State has recently given decision which
recognizes the progress that las been made as
fully as Mics Emily Faithful herself could ask,
though it is not aB radical as Miss Susan B. An
thony or Mrs. Elizabeth Csdy Stanton would
probably have demanded. Judge Thornton has
distinctly defined tho right Of married
woman to be sued for her own elan
ders. Such conclusion comprohends
full recognition Of separate property and
individual responsibility, OF which it is the
natural sequence. Tho case VAS one in which
Janet Ral=on had sued John Martin for damages
on account Of Blanderous worda that had been
used against her by Margaret Martin, his wife.
At common law, the husband would hayo been
liable; the Supreme Court has nov decided that,
unlor the Illinois statute Of 1860, the husbands
liability has ceased The action must he against
the wife, and t. o damages, il any, must DO col
lected out OF her separate estate.
Marriage, under the common Law, geve the

her possessions. Any property which she might
havo at the time Of marriage became his in law
he WAS entitled to tho fruits Of her labor, the
rents and profits of hor real estate, and absolute
dominion over her po>sonal property. Under
statute OF this State, passed in 1861, married
woman became entitled to the sopurate owner
chip of any property which she possessed at the
time OF contracting the marriage, aad nj all
property which she should acquire in good faith
after marriage from any peraon othor than her
husband In 1869, Law was passed by the Illinois
Legislature providing that married woman slall
be entitled to receive, use, md possess her own
earnings and Sue for the same in her own name,
free from tne interference Of her husband or his
creditors. Justice Thornton holds, and with him
the majority Of the Supreme Bench that these
statutes materially change tho temporal relations
Of husband and wife, and that the former can no
longer be held liable for tho debts which Ills wife
may contract, nor for the damages which she may
ntict with a slanderous tongue. The principle
Of common Law which determined the husbands
liability was that the wife brought him all her
worldly possessions, acquired either before or
after marriage; that the husband was
entitled to al her earnings; and that, if Hho lad
no property aid earned no money, she still
brought him tEa wealth Of affection, and the
material assistance OF rearing family, and tho
comforts and jo7H Of domestic 1ife 1t was con-
seqnently held tlat the husband assumed an
