J1n Not Dead. Int EI0ped. al

An aggravated case of domestic infelicity
has just come to light in Detroit. The hus-
band, a rich bachelor, married a beautiful
Southern girl, and took her home in 1859.
She soon informed him that she m rried him
only to escape the humiiations of poverty,
and they lived cold and cherries life until
about year ago, when former suitor of the
lady app. ared, and again became devoted.
A short tine since the woman was taken
alarmingly i'll, and the husband, being iniolm-
ed that she had the small pox, was dispatch
ed to bring her relatives from Georgia When
he got 20 Nashville. Tenn, telegram an
nouncing her death recalled him, and he
came back to be intor ued that his wife was
buried the day after she died. His condition
was little shot Of madness then but when,
few days later, he found that the sickness aud
death had been snare to get him out of the
way, and cover the elopemeni of his wife al d
her lover he became real maniac, and was
confined in an asylum. Partially recovering,
he was set at liberty, and was bent ON leav-
ing the country, when he was informed that
his wife and her paramount were living In
New York. He is now trying to find them,
| and whether the search be successful or oth.
erwise, it will probably result in complete
| loss OF his reason. - l- tr-

WOMAN IN AMERICAN SOCIETY, by ABBA
GOoLD WOOLsON.
This is thoroughly enjoyable and salts
factory book. 1t is one of the few publica-
tions of late year, which have compelled
from us the tribute of being read through at one
sitting. Although the articles of which IL is
composed were written for a daily journal, yet
they group themselves very well into COM
pact appeal for better and truer life for wo-
men. Although the sympathy of the author
with the proposed changes in the political re-
iations of women is apparent, the book itself
IS largely devoted to sensible reforms to be
made by women themselves and in their So
cial relations. And thi. is accomplished not
by the way OF set discourse but in series of
truthful pictures of woman's life as il now Is
from girihood to maturity and old age. Il
opens with bright and loving description of
the school girl who has yet to learn the due
and divine superiority of the male of her spe-
cies and who dreams Of manhood as lofty
and pure as her own thoughts. After grad
uation comes the sense of unfitness, OF being
out of place, born of the incompatibility Of
wide hopes and the narrowness of the limits
within which society has thus far ordained
that women shall move. In time the one
yields to the many and not few girls who
meant to be worthy of their natures
sink to the level of the rest and
think the whole duty of woman solved in
getting decently married ;-and havi. no
other future devote themselves to the sacred
mystery of clothes, charitable fairs and the
the duty of looking beautiful and pleasing
the gentlemen. As the result of too much
indoor life, of ill-adapted clothing, many lose
health, ard, worst of all, take dreary COM
fort in it, and are respected therefor by their
neighbors. The chapters on "Invalid,sm a.
as Pursuit." and the "Physical Education
OF Girls are well worthy most careful read
ing. {
But it is impossible in the space we have,
to give any full idea of the book. 1t is not
all devoted to questions of social reform.
There are besides some beautiful pictures
like the chapters entitled "a sojourn in Ar
cady' and of "Grandmother's Houses"
There is a charm abont the latter which
makes you forget the present and takes you
back to your grandmother's house and the
wonders and mysteries that used to be there
until you live over again some of the sweet
est hours of childhood. 10
While almost all Mrs. Woolson's views are
stated in language as pleasant as it is clear
and felicitous she is not incapable of that
fine cutting which Injuries people so that they
never know it until they shake themselves
and fall to pieces. The irony of the first
three pages of chapter TX is delicious.

1t is said that woman got divorce from
her husband in Kentucky because he went to
meeting of the Good Templars, leaving her
at home to take care of the baby. And this
shows the evil of too much temperance.
Had not a great principle intervened the
baby might have been brought up on the bot
tie, so permitting the mother to attend the
meeting of the Good Templars; and the
husband might have gone quietly about that
other business which has nothing to do with
the lodge.
