By the laws of Kansas women stand
upon an entire equality with men in
regard to property. If an owner Of pro.
perty dies intestate, leaving a widow and
children, the widow takes half in her
own right and the children the other
half; or if the wife is the owner, the
husband takes half and the children
half, and neither can deprive the other
of such share by will. In every respect
SIS regards trading and suing and being
sued there is no difference.

The coroner's jury called to consider
the death of Thomas Starmore and
others, killed at Barstow's Siding on the
night of the 25th of February, met at
the switch>house and heard the evidence
of the persons who were known to have
been present at the time of the disaster.
Even the tramp had been captured. He
was seen providing in the woods near the
line, and had been caught by the section
master and his men. Every one at once
said, "The tramp did it." But the
tramp had in his hand another bar Just
like the bar found under the train. He
admitted having stolen the bar. He
had seen the disaster from the woods,
and had then run away lest he be caught.
After some time he had come back to find
the bar he had dropped in the woods in
his fight. He had the bar with him
when caught. He could prove all this,
because the bar was rusty from lying in
the snow.
The reporters of the Centrev;Ile papers
who were present called Mary Britton
to the telegraph that message might be
dispatched. One of them placed q
paper before her: "a tramp has been
found who admits having stolen the bar,
but it is plain that he did not use it.
All the evidence goes to show that the
engineer wrecked the train out of spite
against the president"
Weeks passed, and then the trial
came on at the court house at Centre.

Printers.
Grenada New Soulful
1t seems that of all trades or pro-
fessions which men pursue, that OF
the printer is, in many respects, the
most peculiar If not the most preca-
riOus. There is something in the
calling that seems to mark the man
as plainly as the "guinea. stamp
and its followers present the most
unique. strange and contradictory
elements of character that can pos.
sibly be imagined. They are CT ne
cessity a race of readers, and &C
quire a vast store of prOmiscuous
knowledge on all conceivable topics
in half al ordinary lifetime. 1t too
often happens that this knowledge,
gained somewhat like the Octoped
takes his. meals, by absorption, is
never properly digested or catal-
Ogued for practical use. As d class
they are almost financial failures
being generous, liberal, and too of.
ten lavish in the use of money, you
more often find them bankrupt than
otherwise. They seem fated to live
in the light of to day, and take no
thought of the morrow. They are
cohesive and clannish as a society,
but are characterized generally by
the largest liberalIty in religious
views and the most unbounded char
ity. Dissipation has been and is
probably still the greatest curse of
the profession, and ON this shoal are
the stranded wrecks OF some of the
rarest genulses the world has ever
produced. Printers have developed
into brilliant lawyers, astute politi>
clans, great actors, shrewd aud able
diplomats, but never INTO Doctors of
Divinity. 1t is too often the case,
however, that they have pride not
properly balanced-a sensitivene IS

cie:y or other causes, that sours
their dispositions, and results in a
course gravitatlng from reserve to
exclusiveness on the down grade to
social Ostracism. No other profess
sion develops 10 many peculiar psIa
SEES of character, and none can exhi-
bic an equal array Ut rare and versa

Old Mrs. Stack sold two glasses
of cider to neighbors in Northfiel,l
VT, thus violating the rrohibliory
liquor law of that State. A spy had
her arrested, his motive being to
get his legal share of the fine, which
was, i'm this case, fixed at $50. Mrs.
Stack could not pay, being very
poor, and a heartless constable
carried her to Jail on a cold day in
an open sleigh, although she was
thinly dressed and seriously i'll.
Her daughter borrowed the money
to pay the fine, but Mrs. Stack died
in few hours after her release, her
death being the direct result of the
cruelty to which she had been sub
jected.
