IL has been no uncommon thing for
pOverty-stricken mobiles of Europe 20
marry rich but plebeian American
girls. but the female portion of the
English aristOcracy has been more
tenacious Of the SUPREMACY Of blue
blood and rarely give themselves away
20 American capital. A notable eX-
ceptiOn % this order Is about to occur,
the engagement Of Miss SOpes. eldest
daughter Of Sir Massey SOpes, Bart,
NJ. P. To Mr.. Henry p. Hatch, of
Brooklyn, having been announced.
Miss SOpes Is Of that sphere reserved
for ''the daughter of an hundred
Earls, aud as her father Is n man of
great wealth, her contemplated mar
riage cannot be set down as q catch
penny-affair.
A few days ago in q New York
court q woman was awarded 5000
damages against a railway company
which caused her husbands death.
The testimony went 10 show that the
man had been supported by his wife
for the preceding eight years, and
that she actually gained by his death.
Under these circumstances equity
would dictate that the widow should
be the defendant and be compelled TO
reward the company for relieving her
Of heavy burden. The Texas woman
whose drunken husband and q valu-
able mule were killed by q locomotive
struck it about right when she de-
manded $50 for the mule and S25 for
the man. She was q little excessive
In her charge for the man, but alto
gether she was not far wrong in the
proportion, and the company settled
without hesitation.
The wonder II often expressed that
medical students and practitioners
should. as some Of them do, become
very fond Of q profession In which
there are necessarily 50 many disa-
greeabIe things, such as the disecting
OF dead bodies and the constant famil-
iarity with suffering and death. But
what shall we say Of the capacity OF
the human mind 70 acquire q scientific
f0ndness for such q calling e. that Of
the hangman I? The execU timer Mar
wood, who died the other lay, took
warm interest in his ter ible trade.
he was q careful and pract cal student
OF its teehnicalitieE, and was as fond
OF his ropes. which he took occasion
TO dispose Of Ia his will, as a surgeon
Is OF his instruments. And yet he
was not essentially 3 cruel man. What
