The Wedding Ring.
Richmond ENQUIRER.

Richmond Enquirer.
A curious question was involved in q
case tried at the Springfield, New York
County Court namely, the control of 6
wife over her wedding ring. The cir
cumstances were as follows: The wife
shortly before her death, gave her wed
ding ring to her mother, at whose house
she died. The husband claimed the
value of it as a set off against claim
brought against him for his wife.
board and lodging. The judge decided
that wedding ring comes under class
of articles which the wife has separately
and Independently of her hus band, and
which she has power to keep, but not te
give away or leave from her husband
On the contrary. the husband has power tc
give them away even during her life. In
this case the wife had no power to give
away her ring, and the judgment
must be accordir ely. Thu:
may be law, but it seems hard that the
VI. hes of the deceased woman with re-
gard to her ring should not be respected
Had the husband claimed the wedding
ring as q matter OF sentiment, legal pro.
ceedings to recover it would be intelligi.
bic, but to demand it as "set-of against
a claim for board and lodging is a sad
dissertation Of what was regarded In less

The Reverend Harding, as an instance
of the meanness OF A. 4. Stewart, men
tions that one day when he saw one Of
his statesmen wearing a gold watch-chain,
he exclaimed: Young man, button your
coat I'D over that chain, and take my ad.
vice and exchange 1t Tor black silk
cord" The reverend gentleman calls
this brutal lnsolence, and it probably
was. Mr.. Stewart, if he didn't want his
employee TO dress like gambler, should
have quietly mailed him q postal card,
bearing a communication something like
this: "My Dear Percale-1 am the last

Tn. Nationality Of Married Women

Re preventative Faulkner, In ths house.
In every country erespt where the
con. laon law Of England prevails, the
nationality of n woman on marriage
merges in that Of the husband; she loses
her nationality and acquires his whereas,
an an English woman, marrying an
alien, still remains British subject.
The Law in this country was the same;
an American woman, married to for
eigner, retained her American nation
atty. The coinmon-lsw doctrine was
changed in England BY an act Of Psrlia-
mrnt passed in 1870, as it has been TO
certain extent modified in the United
States by the act Of Congress in 1855.
With the passage Of the present bill, the
doctrine may be considered as settled
and allie adopted BY all Christians and
civilized nations, that the nationality OF
married woman merged in that oil
her husband. / know Of no exception
to this doctrine in any nation Of Europe.
