MARY Clemmer's Letter to Boston Herald.1
Henry Wilson and Anna Dickinson.

Anna Dickinson is published as having
talent for scolding-I never heard her scolding
talent disputed. The superb proof she has
given of her eloquent possession of it does no t
seem to scare the would-be husbands in the
slightest, though all men declare that they can
bear any afiiction better than a scolding
woman. I've come to the conclusion that on a
magnificent scale they rather like it, else why
do they march upon Anna and beg her to scold
them for life at the rate of seventy or SO a
year?" Henry Wilson. after he became vice
president, called on me in deep perturbation of
spirit and told me that "Anna Dickinson had
been recommended to him as q wife," and
asked my opinion on the subject.
The possibility of her not accepting, If he
asked, had not even dawned upon the old gen.
tleman's mind.
"Anna's attractive" he went on; "but L m
afraid there's too much of her. She'd keep on
wanting career of her own. That would pu {
public man in an unpleasant position; don't
you think so?'

Tie Bankrupt Law,

Elsewhere will be found the form of a pc
tition for the amendment of the Bankrupt
Law and remonstrance against its repeal
which will be presented to our merchants for
signature. The form is that used in New
York and other cities whose merchants are
taking active measures to prevent the repeal
of the law which is threatened. While it is
very easy to point out deficiencies in the law
as it exists, and while it will be impossible 10
frame any insolvent law which will not show
some imperfections in its practical working
yet when we consider the alternative, it will
be readily seen on reflection that almost any
bankrupt law is better than the chaos which
would follow its repeal.
The abrogation of the law would be pecu-
lially unfortunate for our own state mas
much as we have no insolvency law what
ever on our statute books, and our merchant:
would be driven at once to the old .grat
law" which none of them can contemplate
without shudder. 1t is injurious to both
sellers and buyers aud is destructive to that
mutual confidence which is so essential to
the successful prosecution of business. Very
many small traders who now manage to get
along very fairly by the forbearance of their
creditors, would be driven out of business.
The temptation to be the first to seize upon
the property and to get ahead of the rest
would inspire many creditor to pounce
upon debtor who otherwise would be lei
alone, and might work out of his difficulties
all right. The wholesale dealers would also
suffer great inconvenience and would find a
large percentage of their energy, care and
watchfulness devoted to the task of seeing
that nobody should get ahead of them in
seizDg the property of their debtors. So
great would be this burden and so insuffer-
able the annoyances of it, taat one of ouI
most prominent and prosperous merchants
said within the past two days that he would
close up his affairs and not try to do business
if he were thrown back upon the old "grat
law"
1t is true that bankrupt law furnishes a
cloak for frauds in some cases but this Is very
light as compared with the chances fol
cheating and collusions under the grab law
Even if our state and all the states should
enact insolvency laws they would be much
less useful than national law. So init
mate and large is the commerce between the
states that different insolvency laws in differ
ent states would cause infinite difficulties and
annoyances.
In view of these facts the earnest attention
of business people is called 20 the petition
and remonstrance already referred to. Il
should meet ready response and cordial ap
proyal from all classes interested in fai
distribution of the property of insolvent per
sons among all their creditors.

BRITISH INDIA has suddenly become a
great corn-exporting country. Four years
ago the quantity of wheat sent abroad only
reached $4,000 cwt, whilst last year in
spite of the famine, it is estimated that the
exports had arisen to the enormous extent of
100000 cwt. This is new source of sup
ply when the harvest in England fails.

IT is often said that in modern times a
war in Europe is felt to the Uttermost ends of
the earth. A striking Illustration is given in
one of the Russian papers. In the extreme
east of Siberia the war has produced the
most frightful confusion in commercial af-
fairs. In Vladivostoko, fer instance, tne
Mexican dollar has suddenly risen from one
ronble thirty-four kopecs to three rcubles.
At the same time, the possibility of block
ade has enormously raised the price of things
even when they are paid in silver. The COM
plants of officials with fixed salaries paid in
paper are indescribable.

the courts Of Judges Gildersleeve and
Donohue-c1mmunications made to, or in.
formation obtained by, physicians end law
yers, acting in their professional capacity,
are confidential aud cannot be d sclosed
even with the consent of the parties.
Moreover the physician-Doctor John
Phtlps-is said TO have been the surgeon In
the sff air; and was summoned to testify be-
cause he was bel eyed to have bteu such
surgeon. If so, be is liable to indictment
fnd punishment, in Maryland at least, the
same as il be had been a principal In the
flair. And by the rules, not only Of the
common law, but of CONNER justice, he
could not be compelled to give testimony
which would tend to criminate himself. Ii
he was the surgeon, any testimony he could
give would tend go to criminals him aud
yet, notw thstending .bis ia t, for refusing
to answer, he is adjudged guilty of con-
tempt and ordered to be imprisoned. But
bis imprisonment" proves to lie as much
of q farce as the acts which preceded, or
led to, it The deputy sheriff returns that
Phelps has been duly imprisoned but in
stead Of seeing the inside Of the Toombs or
Of Ludlow street Jail, he is careering around
the city, visiting his patients, hobnob-
bing with his friends, and sleeping
at home. If be was gully of contempt,
surely he should be confined in Jail the
same as If he was a common man, and moi
a friend of James Gordon Bennett and 6
p lice surgeon into the targain. If he wa
not bound to answer the questions he waI
not guilty of contempt, and his imprison.
ment should not have been ordered -and
so, in any view, the proceedings 10 his cas-
are but a fitting Part of a most contempt
bic farce.
But where, in the meanwhile, is Jane
Gordon Bennett ? Current rumor says tbs
he has ''run of and married the May girl,
aud this would be a fitting epilogue to III.
farce. But however this may be, on,
thing is certain He ene tks off, remains il
hiding, and leaves his friend DR.. Phelps t
bear the brunt of the affair. His coward,
course does not contrast very well will
that of James Watson Webb who, after hi
duel with Thomas F. Marshall, in 1S42
promptly surrendered himself, acknowI
edged that he had violated the laws, an
pleaded guilty to an indictment chargin
him with leaving the state with the inter
ticn of accepting n challenge. Webb, no
withstanding his duel, did not l1se cast,
but Bonuett undoubtedly will. The peopI
hate a coward more than they DO a maui
offender, and most Of them would pref,
to be the horse whipped father than ii
cowardly son.
