A COMPLICATED Law CASE.
Cincinnati Enquirer

A complicated question of right
of ownership has arisen between two
persons in this city. The dispute
arose when a couple of ban rels of
shells were being transferred from
one of the disputanis to the other,
and when accidently bag of silver
and gold hid away in one of the
barrels was brought to light. The
seller appears to have been unaware
of the presence of the money though
be claims he placed it in the barrel
as a practical joke, and tho buyer
claims that since he bought the bar
re!s and the contents, and since the
money was probably in one of tho
barrels when they came from New
Orleans, it by right belongs to him.
Since the developenent of the pre-
cious metals and the beginning of
the dispute thief has attempted to
settle it by stealing the bag and its
valuable contents. The thief is now
in all and the money is in court
1t is possible that under the existing
circumstances the State could estab
fish an ownership.

Useful Wives.
London standard


Numerous marriages, it is all but uni.
versally conceded, are a sign of WELL
filled larders; but early marriages are
considered as a system Of president i'm
providence and prospective poverty. 1t
ought 10 be remembered that there are
many exceptions to this deduction. In
some districts wife can always find
employment which adds to the common
income, and in the agricultural parts OF
the country she is almost indispensable
to the well-being Of any yosng man en-
gagged in farming operations. More es.
pecially is this the case in Ireland, where
early marriages are cOnventionally
classed among the drawbacks OF that
unhappy island. In reality the mar
riage rate Of Ireland is very low. But il
a Young man is to cultivate his holding
with success, he should have the assist
snce of female. Accordingly he wants
TO take mate the moment he Is moved
by the ambition TO plant his own potatoes
though the results which follow that
step are, 30 far as the population of the
settled districts Is concerned, often ca
lamitous. In other districts we find the
same rule, necessitated by the same cir
cumstances. Take, for example, the
antipodeau colonies. In South Austria
liza, where the "cockatoos" OF small
wheat growers are numerous. the mar
riage rate is high. On the contrary, in
New South Wales and Victoria, where
the rural population is mainly devoted
10 s'ock-raising and mining, wives are
not in such request.
In 1869 the marriage rate showed

dinary ratio. In Hungary, an essential
ly agricultural country, il was very high
whilst in countries like Sweden. where
the rural population is extremely poor

ing and urban districts, the number of
marriages was few. In brief, a vile Is
