The Fair Sex.

There are 40 law firms conducted
entirely by women, in this country.
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, in anticipa-
ton Of her lectures this winter, pre-
pared eight papers, chiefly on social
subjects.
NJ. Gambetta says that the strength
Of France is in n great measure due to
the thrift and industry Of the French
women,
Mrs. d. Talmage has a bibIe-claes of
two hundred ladies. She is said to be
a very bright, intelligent lady, and a
fine teacher.

stylish dress? Get in a crowd and

turn up their noses.
The patents issued in America to
women, for the year ending July, 1880,
numbered seventy, ten more than the
average. Most of the inventions of
women have to do with household
appliances.
The Turkish woman is manageable

Competent to manage her property and
dispose of one third of her fortune.
The law allows her to abandon her
husbands house for Just cause, and
will protect her in so doing. She can
net be compelled to labor for the sup
port of her husband. On the contrary
he is compelled to support her and it
is a penal offence to insult or ill.treat
her. Should he not provide her with
funds she is authorized to borrow in
mis- name or even sell his property.
After marriage she has the absolute
control of her own property, which he
cannot touch.
This little incident I saw at Quincy,
Ill. We arrived at the town hard on
to midnight, and made cur way to the
foot of the depot, to q row Of omni-
buses, and entered one. When full,
to our establishment a rather prepos-
sessing young lady came to the door
and asked for our baggage checks, and
later for our coach fare, after collecting
which she alighted and called out 10
the driver: "All right, Charlie"

Letter.
Theebaw, the numbering monarch
of Burmah, has dropped out of sight of
late. The cause is not far to seek.
Woman is the cause, and the Soo-Pay-
ah-Lot Namwadan Rya is her name
and title. She is the kings first vile
and real ruler of the Kingdom. While
Theebaw is fst and lazy, she is lean
and alert. Naturally, she is rather
generous and kid, but when aroused
she is fiery and cruel. Theebaw aroused
her lately. She had a child, her third,
which proved a daughter. Theebaws
grumbled and said he wanted d male
heir, so he married two more wives
and sen his first wife word that he
was tired of her, and wanted to rule
his own kingdom. AS 0 after she
got the message as she was able TO 20,
she walked straight to Theebaw, took
him by the hair, and carried him TO a
o and locked him up with the
baby he despised. She then took up
the reins Of state and had Thee0aw's
two wives put in irons and cast into
prison. As the Indian Daily Nous,
which tells the story, says, there is q
general chuckle tnroughout Bnrmah
at the way the queen discounted the
king" One woman has her way in
Burmah, and Theebaw finds that a
weak woman is mightier than the
lord OF the white elephants.

The Home of Giants.


Capt Martin Van Buren, Bates, who
lives on "A farm near Seville, Ohio, is
: feet, H. inches high and weighs AIS
pounds, Mrs. Bates is : feet, II Inches
high, and weighs AIS pounds. 1t is a
difficult matter to convey an adequate
idea of the proportions of such a dwell
ling as the one occupied by the OHIO
giants. A door that is six feet six in
ches high is a large sized opening in
the side Of a house, that is a dwelling
house, not Il cathudral. But the doors
in the domiciie of the Bates giants are
ten feet high, and the knobs are uearly
as high as the reporters head.
The couch upon which the big cou-
pie sleep was made especially for them,
and it is a curiosity to look at. 1t is
extensive enough to give the great
people room to stretch in, and it looks
as big as an ordinary-sized floor. 1t is
really ten feet long, wide in proper
ton, and about twice as high as u
omm0u bed. Tue magnificent dress
ing.case is also a huge affair, with a
glass upon it nearly as big AS the side
Of u house.
In the sitting-room is a piano of
ordinary size il elf, but it is mounted
on blocks two teet high, 50 that the
instrument is away up in the air, out
of the reach of common folks, There
are two rocking chairs in this room
that are SO big that the reporter had to
climb up into one of them the same az
an infant would Chamber up into u
high chair" 1t is very expensive for
the giants to lives they have pay to
such an exorbitant price for everything
they wear. For instance, it costs the
captain thirty dollars a pair for boots.

Matrimonial insurance. in Tennessee.

On the 1st of July, the Insurance Com
missioner of Tennessee published a circular
letter to the District Attorney 's-General to
proceed against the different Marriage As
sociations, for violation Of the Insurance
Laws of Tennessee. The Attorney-General
of Tennessee, Hon. Benz. ]. Lea, in letter
to the Insurance Commissioner says: "Since
the issuance of your circular have been
urged to look into the subject, and have done
so, and after such investigation my opinion
is that these Associations are not insurance
companies, and are not liable under the Act
of the Legislature, approved March 24th,
1875, entitled IAN act to regulate the bust
ness of fire and other except lifeinsuiance
companies The participant is to receive
such sum of money upon the happening of
a certain event. The amount is to be raised
by an assessment, but if the members fail to
pay the assessment, neither they nor the
company are liable to suit for such failure
The principle upon which these organiza-
tions is based is somewhat like that of the
Knights of Honor, which Order has been
held by several of the State courts not to be
an insurance cOmpanyn

The Tucker Assassination.


As our readers know three of the four al.
legged murderers of Gen. W. F. Tucker were
arranged before Judge Buchanan on We'd
nesday morning of last week. Mat Sim
mons and Frank Stafford, both waived an
examination and were remanded by the
court to await the action of the Grand
Jury. The case of Smith Shaw has been
under investigation ever since and at this
writing (Alonday evening" has not been
concluded. Indeed, the State has Just closed
its testimony against the prisoner and the
evidence for the defense is yet to be intro
duced.
We cannot, of course, tell what the de-
PENDANT will prove in his own favor but as
the matter stands, candor compels US to say,
the State has made out a very strong
case.
The States testimony goes to show that
Smith Shaw was engaged in law suit with
a neighbor, Mark Harris; that Tucker was
Harris attorney that Shaw desired to have
him "put out of the way" as several wit
nesses stated, because Tucker was "witness
and lawyer BOTH" and if he lost the suit it
would break him (Shaw) up. To accom-
plish this purpose Simmons, one of the con-
spirators swears that Shaw did agree with
u4AA anu fJeaALoAu W pay tL4clA poo0;VV W uo
the job, and the statement is strongly cor
by other witnesses and by circum-
stances. There is fourth party to the foul
deed who has left the country, and is now
supposed to be in Texas He, if Simmons
and others are to be believed, is as guilty
as either of the other three and no doubt
not the authorities are looking after his
Safety"
We sincerely hope for the sake Of old man
Shaw and his family, that he may be able
to establish during further progress of the
his entire innocence, but at
present it appears to us wholly improbable
that he will be able to do So
Hons. R. 0. Reynolds and E. 0. Sykes, of
Aberdeen, have been assisting Col Mcintosh
and Judge Lacey in the prosecution of the
case against Shaw, Simmons & Co., and the
friends of the gallant Old Soldier whose life
was so ruthlessly taken, will remember them
kindly for their disinterested aid, in this try
ing emergency.
The following gentlemen are of council
for Smith Shaw in the trial now going on
A. Y. Harper, w. T. Houston, w. T. Frazee,
Of our bar, and Gen. r. Davis, of Aberdeen.
