The ObeIiSk.

In is extremely doubtful whether the
obehsk will stand this climate. 1t is of
granite and naturally absorbs water
more or less II has been thawingA and
freezing upon its exterior Tor several
weeks, audit is probable that when the
warm sun comes again it will begin to
scale. The granite is not pure, but is
composed of quartz, feldspar and horn
blende, with small percentage of crys-
tails of mica. Perhaps its true nature
would be best described by the term
"Syenitic granite and but for the mica
would be called syenite. When polished
the granite looks very much like the
Scotch red granite or the red granite of
Connecticut. The effect of the climate
of France, which is much milder than
OURS, has already become visible upon
the Luxor obelisk, and it is evident that
it will crumble into dust before another
thousand years. We can afford, says a
New York correspondent, to give our
monolith a thousand years to waste
away By. that time we will all be
where good obelisks go, and even w. H.
", the old original obelisk importer,
will not be around to get up any, scheme
to consolidate the fragments. Already.
one side of the obelisk, or q portion of
its height, has been worn away, doubt
less by the sands of the desert which
were blown against it, or by the effect
of the dew and the sun on the grains of
the rock. BY such process portion of
the hieroglyphs has been Obliterated.
The obelisk viii be an attractive Curl
osity to visitors to New York,
and will also . be the subject of
an interesting study for scholars. , No
doubt an Psychological society will
be formed to solve the riddle of its
origin and significance. The conception
likely to become popular is that as the
obelisks were erected upon the eastern
bank of the river Nile and the pyramids
upon the western, the obelisks were
typical of the rising sun, the symbol of
generative and preservative power in
the pantheistic nature-worship, and the
pyramids were typical of the setting
sun, the symbol of night and death and
the dark underworld into which the
human soul would at last descend as the
sun disappears beneath the horizon.
Hence the obelisks were used to adOrn
the gates of the temples where the gods
of life, light and truth were worshiped;
to record, like newspapers of to-day, the
name and fame of monarchs; so the
pyramids were used as sepulchres for
illustrious persons. The hieroglyphs, if
accurately translated, would show that
the middle perpendicular line set forth
the renown of the proper constructor
and donor of the monolith, while the
side line sets forth phrases designed to
be to the honor and glory of Sesostris.
The New York obelisk was set up by
Thothmes Ill, and was subsequently
removed from Heliopolis to Alexandria
in honor of julius Caesar. The one in
London and our own were nicknamed
"Cleopatra's Needles"-presumably be-
cause Cleopatra designed their removal
and their erection at the Cesarium at
Alexandria. -Erchange.

Husband and Wife In Law.

THE wife has been much advanced by
the general tenor of legislation of late
years in respect to her own property.
She has acquired pretty independent
position as to title, control and DISPOSE
ton, but this relates to her property, not
to his. The law has not yet raised her
to the station of superintendent of her
husbands contracts, and probably never
will. He is bound to support her and
the children which she bears to him, and
in order to fulfil this obligation he ought
to have as much freedom in the man.
agement of his business affairs of the
world as unmarried men are allowed to
exercise. In taking wife man does
not put himself under an overseer. He
is not subordinate in his own family,
but the head of 1t. The law assigns
him this position, not for his own adj
vantage alone, but as much for the real
good Of his wife and children, and some
what for the general interest of society.
A husband left free to lead and govern
in his own family is the most useful hns-
band to all who may be concerned in tine
results of his conduct. That exceptions
to this rule may be pointed out is no OBJ
lection to or disproof of the rule itself.
Human institutions are all more or less
imperfect, and their complete efficiency
in practical working can not be ex-
pected in every instance. 1t Is enough
if they produce beneficence to the great
mass and in the great majority of
cases. A subjugated husband is less
pleasing and less energetic member Of
society than one who keeps his true
place yet knows how to temper author
itv with affection. The law does not
discourage conjugal consultations or free
and voluntary cooperation in all trans
actions which affect or may affect the
welfare of the family. But the
Law does not undertake to secure this
delightful harmony by coercion, but
leaves it to issue spontaneously from the
holy relations of matrimony.-Georgi0

AristOcratic Pauperism.

{ There is q smemorial before the SEN
ate, calling ON Congress to make some
provision for the maintenance of all ex-
Presidents. The idea of the petitioners
seems to be that q man who has held
the Office of Chief Magistrate of this
democratic Republic is. too exalted a
being to degrade himself with any &C.
cupation, and that; the people of the
United States should see to it that his
dignity is not abridged by a scramble
for honest bread and butter.
1t is matter of regret that this pre-
posterous notion finds tolerance in the
Capitol, and we entertain very decided
6-cenviction that the alleged statesmen
who are inclined to favor it will do well
to unload such folly as speedily as the
process of discharge can be readily eff
fected.
There is no more reason for setting
up retired payroll for ex-Presidents
than for ex-postmasters,g ex-gaugers,
ex-clerks, ex-messengers or ex-tloOr-
scrubbers. The theory on which the
proposition rests is one of the most Of
fensiye and oppressive characteristics
of monarchical Institutions. p
We compel no man to take Office.
! We pay our Presidents a good salary
When that is paid we owe them moth
ing.
III we once take a start in the bust
ness of putting ex-officials on the Treas
ury, we shall soon have full load of
that sort, Our. ex-Presidents are no
more sacred than ex-pound masters. II
both have performed their duties and
received the pay stipulated. the people
: are quit of them. II our ex-Presidents
cannot make a living, or get support
from their friends. the poor asylum is
open for their reception. Many man
as good as any ex-President has ended
his days in that last resort for indulgence.
