THE WAR IN EUROPE.

The news from Europe makes it most
certain there will be a declaration OF
war this week, either formally or by
hostile acts between Russia and Turkey.
Russia will probably take the initiative.
1t IS the general opinion that England
and Austria will be involved before
many months, and Germany may drift
into the conflict, unless the "iHfexible
neutrality" of France, which has been
officially announced, compels caution.
1t is an accepted fact that France is sonly
awaiting her opportunity, and Germany
appreciates this.

The question, can . wife steal her
husbands property ?" has been decided
in the negative in England, IN a recent
Crown case. The prisoner, who had
been q police constable, was charged
with receiving stolen money, knowing
it TO be such. The prosecutor was an
inn keeper, and the theft was alleged to
have been committed by his wife. There
was no question but that she had left
his house secretly, and without his cou-
sent, carrying away with her about 500
Of his money, his gold watch, and other
articles, which she transferred 20 the
prisoner. But his counsel cOutendod
that there could be no felonious receiver
Of stolen goods, without there first be-
ing q thief, and that the conviction was
wrong because married woman could
not in law steal the goods Of her hus>
band. The Court 30 held, and quashed
the conviction, saying that although the
goods were taken by the wife, they were
not stolen; that husband and wife were
one, and "it would be a violation Of the
law Of England TO hold that n wife
could steal her husbands goods" The
same law holds good ia this country and
proceeds upon the well-knoWn legal
maxim that man and his wife are nut
one person, and consequently it would
be impossible for 4 man to steal from
himself.

shall be returned to the Government be-
fore any dividends are paid TO stockhol-

and wife wept for joy at meeting once
more; and Ivan said:
"Can you forgive me dearest Moncta !"
Moneta had already forgiven him, and
the three-father mother and child loved
one another and were content to the end
of their lives and Ivan said;
"Once for all have found that gold
cannot make one happy; but. with the
blessing of clear conscience, warm
hearts and kind words are the sweetest
things in life"

When you sec a young fellow who a
year ago used to step up aud order lager
beer for the crowd with the utmost sanq
iroid, patiently trundling a baby car
rage along the street oil Sunday after
noon, and looking chop-fallcn in his last
seasons hat, don't it speak volumes for
The reforming influence Of women's
society ?

ROCKVILLE MARYLAND. FRIDAY MORNING. 10,

friend that has seen the world to load
yourself with as much gold as you can
carry"
So Moneta donned heavy dress Of
spun gold, which was woven in such a
manner that, at every motion she made,
it let fall shower of gold dust. She
filled the sleeves with sardonyx, altman
dine, aud amethyst; and hid in her
bosom diamonds and sapphires enough
to purchase kingdom
Then she went up a steep ladder, and
knocked at the alabastor ceiling, using
the charm which the gnome had given
her:
Mother Earth, Mother Earth, set
me free |"
At her words their was a sound as of
an earthquake, and little space was
made, just large enough for her to crawl
through. When she reached the top, the
earth closed again, and the light of the
sun was so dazzling that she hid her
face in her hands
Thus she sat for a long timo, not
showing whittier to go, till young man
CHANGED to come that way, who said,
What do you hcroY
She raised her face at his words, and
could not speak, 50 great were her sur
prise at the strange youth He, for his
part, could not help smiling for she
was as yellow as an orange and an
uglier little creature he had never be-
held; but he said in kind voice:
"Come with me tony mothers house
and you shall be refreshed with cake and
wine"
She arose to follow him; and as she
walked, bright shower of gold-dust
