lesser stellar attractions resorting to equally
striking modes of advertisement, keep public
interest directed to the stage.

A Cleveland DENTIST sHysi WUmen are

than men. Men are always in q hurry, dis

Woman's rights are obtaining reco gpiiiou
in Norway. The Parliament has Just passed
a law, which the king has signed. giving
women the privilege of attending the uni

positions, is not yet accorded to them.
A London correspondent writes: "a num-
Der OF our jesaesSe, not, fear, of the doree
school, are going out 10 join Baker Pasha,
in the hope of diffusipg some Saxon pluck
into the hosts of Egypt. So esger is the de-

selves of their surplus sons that all the sins
of the too gallant Pasha are forgiven, or
perhaps attributed to an inclination to
Orientalism, and virtuous and hitherto

Morality as well as fashion has strange turn
abouts in this mixed world of ours, and this
IS one of them. Perhaps the Tichborne

A lady physician lectured to her sex at
Chicago on Tuesday night on hysteria She
said that this lachrymose disease was COM
mon to both sexes, but ga man would storm,
fret, and swear, while a woman would cry.o
Now, this is bad-bad in both-but if the
ladies would avoid the crying symptoms of
the complaint they should take more exer-
them so. II, however, the outward exhibi-
ton of the disease in women is to be thus
changed by more generous diet of fresh
air, we would mildly suggest that the men
try, as a modifer, the seclusiou of the house.
Think of a man and his wife both having
the "fresh-sir" hysteria together, both swear
ing and frettiug at the same time. We are
opposed TO this innovation in the manage
ment of this bewitching disorder. Let the
women feed their hypochondria "on the foul
air Of the house. and cry oyer it, rather than
90 swearing and paving through the front
yard 10 give vent to their feelings.

Miss Edith L. Diss de Bar was the com

an Irish servant named Kate Goiey, whom
she charged with malicious mischief Kate
was discharged by her on Thursday last for
not properly attending to her duties. The
girl made threats against her employer On
Friday she returned to the house, entered the
parlor and took from easel an oil psiut-
ing. eaid TO be an original Teniers, valued at
$500. The picture she threw upon the
floor, and in her rage stamped upon il, put
ting her heel through the canvas. She zlso
thrust the point OF her umbrella through the
canvas in another place, so that the painting
is almost ruined. While the lady was

laughed and joked with the other prisoners.
When Justice Bixley told her he would hold
her for trial, the girl appeared dszed for
and then fell in convulsions. She
passed from one fit into another, and half an
hour passed before she was sufficiently re-
covered to be removed to the prison.
