that nowhere in the world were women treated
with such Difference and respect as here, and he
has especially pluned himself on the fact that a
lady can travel alone from Maine TO California
without molestation. 1t seems, however, that
the women of Japan enjoy equal privileges, and
no one has made any fuse about it either. A
tourist in that country reports that a lady can
travel with a carload of Japanese men and not
an improper word be spoken or act committed
in her presence.

THE citizens of Chemung county, New York,
suit, which is now pending before a referee.
The parties to the suit are Howlan Evans, a
farm laborer, and Reuben Tiff, a well-to-do
farmer. In 1864 Evans lived, with his wife and
three children, in the neighborhOod of Tiff, by
whom he was frequently employed. In that
year Evans enlisted in the army, receiving a
bounty of $500. This money he sent to Tint,
and subsequently, as he claims, he sent the
farmer 1892 more. In his letters to Tiff, Evans
requested him to look after the interests of his
family during his absence. 1t is in evidence that
about the time that Evans enlisted lifts wife
died, and soon after that tho farmers attention
to the soldiers wife became marked. He decided
her a house and twelve acres of land in the
spring of 1865, and in April of that year she
took her children and all her household gOcds
and personal property and went TO i've with
Tiff. A few weeks afterward she obtained q
divorce from her husband and married Tiff.
When Evans returned he found that he had no
wife, children or home, and all his efforts to re-
cover his money and property and the custody
of his children were unsvailing. Evans brought
suit to recover his bounty money and other
moneys, and the case was referred to a referee.
Tiff acknowledged receiving the money, but
presented a bill for boarding Evans's children!
The decision has not yet been given, but it is
understood it will be in favor of the plaintiff.

JOSEPH MUTATION is a very funny man, as
well as a very mendacious one. His humor is
about as bright as his lies were reasonable. He
lives in Louisville, Joseph does; and feeling in a
particularly funny mood, he went to a poultry
dealer and bought" a dozen or two chickens,
which he ordered sent to a certain well-known
hotel, saying that the money would be paid
there. The chickens were delivered accordingly,
but when the bill was presented the proprietors
denied all knowledge of the purchase. The
dealer then sought out the playful man and de-
manded pay ment. This Joseph declined TO do,
probably not having enough money. He says it
was all in fun, but the dealer refuses to see it
that way, and will probably bring suit. If he
succeeds in putting Mulhatton behind the bars
for the rest OF his natural life a longsuffering
public would rejoice. His jokes, like his lies,
are too ancient TO be appreciated.

A SOCIAL NDA

CHmLIcoTHE, July 16.-Six weeks ago a
well.dressed old gentleman brought TO Adel-
phis, an obscure village on the railroad, a
lady elegantly dressed, AID placed her in
charge of a physician, with a story that she
was of an Eastern family of the highest re-
spectability, but unfortunate; that she must
be hid away and the child must be left be-
hind. In a few days her alleged uncle and
brother came and completed all necessary ar
rangements. In due time a girl was born
and given to a country woman to keep. She
saw the mother when insane from peral
fever, and YVES told q story of terrible i'll
treatment. The woman repeated the story
outside. Sympathy brought q mob from the
neighborhood to rescue the unfortunate lady.
The doctor had lard work to prevent a riot.
A committee saw the lady, now recovered,
who denied her wild story. The next morn
ing the lady, child and nurse left for Erie,
Pa, for complete recovery. The day after
her brother ~ arrived and was greatly dis.
appointed to learn that she had gone. He
followed the party. The lady is understood
to be from Trenton, N. ]. All the expenses
were met muniicently. Her letters were
sent at first to Erie, Pa; then to eub ben
vile, o then to Manchester, Dsnnison, Lam
caster, and then to Adelphia, to avoid trac-
ing her.

F. Petrie, secretary Of the London Victoria
Institute, the philosophical society of Great

problems. An analysis was presented, pre-

others, upon the evolution theoriep, in which
it was declared that no scientific evidence

Prof. Virchow had declared that there was a

any positive advance in the province of pre-
historic anthropoiogy has actually removed
us further from proofs Of such connection
namely, with the rest Of the animal king
dom. In this, Prof. Barrarde, the great
Psychologist, had concurred, declaring that
in none OF his Investigations had he found
any one fossil species develop into an
other. 10 fact, it would seem that no scien-
tifc man had yet discovered a link be-
tween man and the ape, between fish and
frog, or between the vertebrate and the

evidence of any one species, fossil or other,
