So passed the time, ard sunsets flush

And gliding river, bank, and tower,
The moon arose with si!vcry light.

Had died away, and naught was heard
Save the faint ripple of the waves,
By southern brcczes gently stirred.
The silence lay ON all around,

Victor Hugo on Women's Rights.

The Society for the Improvement of
the Condition OF Women have sent an
address To Victor Hugo appealing TO him
in the name of right 10 lend them the aid
of his valuable voice. The poet replies
in the following characteristic letter:
MEsDAMEs--I have received your adj
dress, which does me honor. l am aware
of your noble and legitimate demands.
In our society, such as it has been made,
woman suffers. She is right 10 claim
better fate. / myself am only con.
science, but understand your rights,
and to obtain them is one of the duties
of my life. You are therefore, not wrong
TO rely on my goodwill and assistance.
Mar was the problem OF the eighteenth
century; woman IL the problem of the
nineteenth. And who says woman says
child--that is, the future. The question
thus put appears in all its profundity,
and on its solution depends the fate OF
the supreme social battle. What a strange
and anomalous situationi In reality man
depends on you, tor woman holds the
heart of man. Before the law she Is "A minor,
incapable, without civil action, without
political right--in short, she il nothing;
before the family altar she is everything,
because she is the mother. The domestic
hearth is what she makes 1t; at home she

woman can do all against man, but
nothing for herself 1t is imprudent Of
the law to make her SO weak where she
is SO strong Let US recognize that weak
ness and protectit; let us recognize that
strength and counsel IL. There lies the
duty Of man and there is also his inter
est No, shall never cease to say IL;
the problem is Land down and 1t must be
solved. She who bears half the burden
ought to have half the right. Half OF
the human race is deprived Of equality;
it must be given to them. This will be
one of the grand glories Of our grand
century. Let the right of woman coun-
terbalance the right of man-that is to
say, let the laws be placed in conformity
with the morals and manners Of the
country. Accept, mesdames, my re-

Affections In Turkey.

In addition 10 the famine, which 10
raging with undated violence, Turkey
is visited with another national afiiiction.
A cattle disease Is ravaging the focks
and herds all over the Empire, from
Bagdad on the Tigris to the Adriatic
coasts. At Scala Nova, in the province
of Smyrna and in the vicinity the Oar
danelles, the smallpox among the sheep
and pulmonary disease among the cattle
have caused the loss of 30 per cent. Of
the former. A recent visitor TO the
plains Of Troy remarked the skeletons
of thousands of sheep lying on the
ground. Reports from Smyrna state that
vast fiocks have been totally destroyed,
and one letter tells of shepherd who,
stripped by the murrain OF his en-
tire flock, has become insane and
takes out TO pasture q pocketiui
of white pebbles, which be fondly

possession Of which he was few weeks

around AdriaBople 30 per cent OF the
horned cattle and horses have been lost,
and a much larger ratio OF sheep. In
the province of Gallipoli the horned cat.

In some localities, affects the towels,

the disease affects the spine, and Is very

Enos the sheep are affected by lung
disease, and the sanitary physician OF

fully evident, says the Leyant He1aId,
that throughout the whole length and
breadth of the Empire pastoral industry
is smitten bya visitation which must tell
severely upon the economical condition
of the country generally.
