The Bastile.

The Bastile, whose destruction was cem-
memorated by the tste of Wednesday last, was
one of the cruelest and also one of the pleas
ATTEST places of confinement ever known. The
young aristocrat who was sent there as a
warning, found capital fare, good company, a
fine library, and merely nominal restraint
The man who had seriously made himself OBJ
noxious to government, however, was subjec-
ted to the most cruel treatment, and some of
its cells were as hateful as any dungeon of
the Middle Ages, from which period In fact,
they dated. At the time of its fall there were
but seven prisoners, and the place was attacked
rs a relic of barbarian rather than because of
any tyranny then being practiced within its
walls.
The affair of Wednesday seems to have been
a very great popular as we'll as administrative
demonstration. They had splendid weather.
The streets were decorated with flags and
garlands. There was an immense crowd and
great enthusiasm and the new colors were
presented to the regiments by Pres Grevy in
the presence OF 100000 people. In the even
ing the streets were illuminated and Gambetta
was received with the greatest enthusiasm.
The Place de Ia Bastile was blaze of light,
and the illumination of Notre Dame was es-
pecially grand. The whole building was
overspread with electric lamps, concealed in
such way as to throw their light upon the
Cathedral without the spectators observing
its source. and it seemed almost like temple
of porcelain, says the cable report. The
fashionable quarters of the city showed the
least display. 1t was evidently a peoples
day. Canrobert was almost the only one of
the prominent Bonapartist officers present,
A place was reserved for Marshal Mcmahon,
but he was not present.

The matter of the Abbey monument to
Prince Napoleon came up on Friday in the

sistent with the national character of the edi.
flee, and tending to impair the good feeling be-
tween England and France. Mr.. Gladstone
opposed the motion on the ground that the
Commons had no power over the matter. We
imagine that this vote will be sufficient in
dicatlon to Dean Stanley of the popular feel
ing on the subject to prevent the erection of

New York has passed statute repeating
the law which has hitherto required that the
husband should join with the wife in execut-
ing deed in order to make it valid. The
World remarks as follows in reference to it:
1t has taken thirty seven years to pass that
statute and to overcome the prejudices of old
fashioned rural lawyers. The first statute
emancipating women as to their own separate
estate was passed in 1874, and the new rela-
lions Of wives to their husbands under it log
ically led to this new statute. When the law
destroyed the the old-fashioned fiction that in
matters OF property a wife must be under her
husbands dominion, it also destroyed the de-
meaning necessity for a wife, whenever she
joined in deed with her husband for the sale
or mortgage of, his property and thereby re-
lease her dover in it, to submit to be cate
chised out of her husbands presence whether
or not she joined in the deed voluntarily and
without his compulsion. This newly promul-
gated statute destroys almost the last relic of
common-law barbarisms upon the legal rela-
tons OF man and wife.
A similar law on the Connecticut statute
book still requires the husbands signature in
order to render the wife's deed valid even
though the land conveyed may be her own
sole and separate property. Why should that
''barbarism' longer remain pnrepealed, to
puzzle common folk and show the inconsistent
cy of legislatures
Litchfield enquirer., 1880-07-22

No one really believes that the Sultan will
dare defy the advice of the allied powers in
regard to the Grecian boundary. Yet the
financial condition of the government is so
desperate that the temptation to resist and to
make the war final appeal to barbarism
against civilization may prove irresistible.
One thing undoubtedly deters the Porte from
making further concessions When the Turk
ish protection is once withdrawn from any
portion of her European territory, tie Chris
tians practically expel all of the Mussulman
faith. The horrible cruelties praeticsd on the
Turkish residents of Bulgaria and East Rou-
melia show that the Turk cannot safely stay
as q citizen where he has ceased to be ruler.
Hence he is really fighting for life where he
he seems to be fighting only for supremacy.

We do wish that our esteemed Republican
contemporaries and friends would drop the
practice of saying ''The United States is
nation" They may say, if they please, ''The
United States is Hotel" or 1.-THE United
States is Steamboat" and not offend against
the rules of grammar and the teaching of the
fathers, but if they 60 on using plural nom-
NATIVE with a singular verb shey will soon get
to saying Garfield are weak candidateS'
and the like. The line should be drawn at the
Constitution. Let the laws of the language,
at least, be respected - World.
What is the Omitted States,"a common or
proper noun2 If a proper noun. then the
United States" meaning country. is just as
much singular noun as the "United States"
meaning hotel. To be consistent, the World
should use no capital. but print the words
thus; ''the united states are nation. Fur
thermore, If treaty is made between this
country and China, which is the American
party to that treaty, the single country called
the United States, or the SO states now COM
prised In the Union Are the territories then
bound. as part of the United States? Ger
tainly not. if the World definition is correct
That this name is treated as plural noun in
the Constitution merely proves the practice of
the Confederation under which the constitu-
Gion was framed.
