his career Of worthlessness, and one
night, out of sheer drunken folly,
picked o friends pocket OF his
handkerchief, and thought 1t
would be rare piece OF fun
TO take also his watch. Accordingly he
knocked him down, tied his hands, and
deprived him of his watch. The friend
had the humorist arrested Gor highway

fellow came before his own father, who
sent him to the Penitentiary for five
years, and cut his name out oil the fami-

THE Legislature of Connections has
on an equality with the husband as to
property rights. The new law gives her
absolute control of her own property
during life, and on the death of either
party to the marriage contract the sur
rivor inherits one-third of the joint real
and personal property. This is the most
advanced step yet taken, though the
tendency in this country for years past
has been towards extending the proper
ty rights of the wife.

THE EUROPEAN SITUATION.

European diplomacy has been Wrest-
ling with the eastern Question" for
the past twelVe-month; and has more
than thrice in each month announced
that the peace of Europe was secured.
Notwithstanding this paper pacification,
war is now even more imminent than at
any other time within that period. Ev-
cry capital in Europe has been made the
theater of diplomatic conference, con-
vention, or consultation. Constantine
pie, st. Petersburgh, London Paris, Ber-
lin, and Vienna, in turn, have witnessed
proposition, counter-prOposition, and
protocol submitted by political dignita-
ries; and the pacification of Europe is as
far removed as ever. To lookers-on
from this side OF the dividing ocean, it
would seem thatthis whole scheme of di-
plomacy were but dramatic exhibition
of the burlesque calculated to amuse the
public mind without really aiming to
reach any substantial result; childish
game Of "hide and go seek" played by
ministers, ambassadors, and plenipoten-
tiaries OF every degree.
That those representatives of the Eu-
ropean Powers sincerely desire to keep
the peace, as between Russia and Tur-
key, can not fairly be questioned. The
practical question is, can they employ
any effectual means to that end? To
every plan proposed the Sultan either
returns an indignant negative, or pre-
serves sullen silence. To every de-
mand that Russia shall disarm or de-
mobilize her troops, the Car signif-
cantly points to the gathered armies OF
Turkey, and says, let her set the ex-
ample, and pledge herself to reform the
abuses OF her government. Is there,
or can there be, any reasonable hope
that Turkey will do this?' II not, what
can be the use of further diplomatic et-
fort?
The European situation in this re-
gara seems to be beyond the reach of
diplomatic remedy. And the diplomats
themselves seem to accept this situa-
bAOh 40 OhO lhSFieobiCs my alCJ SOhSS-
quently, now directing their endeavors
to ''localize the war;" as they phrase it.
To this policy Germany and Austria
evidently stand committed. The prac.
tical meaning of this attitude is, that nc
armed interference will be permitted by
the Western Powers while Russia and
Turkey fight it out on their own lines.
And may not that, indeed, be the best
policy for all concerned? A warlike
shock can do Western Asia no harm. 1
must come. And its coming may arouse
that sluggard region to the appreciation
of new ideas, and help both the Slavic
and the scythiac nations to further prog
ress and a higher civilization. Posi-,
bly, it may tend to change in the sea-
of empire. But what ii it should? Tht
change, so far as the world is concerned
could not be for the worse. There ii
nothing to be hoped for from Turkey
Her dominion is efiete and obsolete

is a shadow, 0 sham. She retains NJ
power beyond her vis inertia. The soon
