Last Wednesday the New Jersey

"Those thieving pages" at once arose
In an accusing murmur from every

committee Of Investigation, with the
power to send for persons and papers.
For twenty-four hours these pages
have been regarded with great injus.

who stole baskets. Time has vim

very promptly. They did carry
away the baskets, but did il
because they were told to do so by
representatives Of the people, who
considered that the floor was good
enough for their waste paper, and the
basket a valuable perquisite which
would make an admirable Easter offer,
Ing for their wives. So, with one CON

Senator Cameron's Dog a Nuisance

Washington Letter to New York World.l
Don Cameron has dog. 1t is the biggest,
fiercest, ugliest dog in town. 1t can bark loud
err and oftener and more continuously than any
canine since old Grimes dog. Don keeps it
chained in front of his house on Scott Circle.
and when it begins its nightly howl it can be
heard from Georgetown to the Capitol There
is also Post Office box on the lamp in front
of Don Cameron house. The dog thinks he
is kept there to brighten intruders away from
the letter-box, and that the people who put let
tiers in the box are trying to steal the lamp
post. To go near it after dark is like entering
a wild beasts den. The dog bowls and yowis
and rattles his chain and grinds his teeth and
utters the most frightful yeps, and keeps Sena-
tor Pendleton-next door-awake, and affects
Senator WINDOWS nerves-across the way
and puts Mr.. Robson, at the other end of the
block, in a perfect fury-and still the dog
keeps it up. Perhaps Mr.. Cameron is afraid
that some of his neighbors will steal his porte
cochere, which he regards with affectionate
pride At all events. l wish that dog was in
the dog heaven

sbackles Struck Off.

Britons have been shouting for many
years that they never win be slaves and
their womenkind have at last caught up the
refrain of the favorite song. English wom-
en- are now as free as American women. On
the first day of 1888 the property relations of
husband and wife in England underwent a
complete change. The Married Womans
Property act Of 1882 is the last in series Of
legislation entirely superseding the old COM
mon law rule that the rights of wife are
merged in her husband. The result is that
there are four classes of married women in
England having distinct rights and liabill-
ties. First those married before August O.,
1870, are entitled to their wages and earn
ings and to any property the title to (which
accrues as from to-day. But their husbands
are liable for their debts before and after
marriage. Those married between 1870 and
1874 are entitled in addition to the above to
all sums coming to them as next of kin I'M
der intestacy, to sums coming by will or deed
up to 81 900, and to rents of freeholds de-
scending to them as heiresses. Husbands OF
these women are not liable for debts con-
traeted before marriage. Women married
between 1874 and 1883 can make their hus.
bands liable for debts only to the extent Of
the interest which the latter have received
from their wives. Women married after
January of thisyea may acquire hold and
dispose of real estate and personal property
in the same manner as if unmarried, with
out the Intervention of trustees. A wife
may now sue her husband, prosecute him
criminally and even make him bankrupt.

Magazine Notices.

Harper's Magazine for February is a very at
tractive and entertaining number. 1t opens
with frontispece engraving from George H.
Boughton's Royal Academy Picture, The
Frozen Fountain. Mr.. Writ Skies, our Con-
sui at Cardiff, describes the Wild Welsh
Coast, which is profusely and very effectively
illustrated by Harry Fem. In the second part
of George Ell. Boughton's Artist Strolls in Hol-
lands we find another and very different sort
of descriptive article-one not depending for
its interest upon portrayal of natural scenery
or even upon its useful information, but full of
Quaint and interesting pictures of Dutch life
and manners, as seen in windmilly Zsandam
and the Isle of Marker. The illustrations by
Boughton and Abbey are delightfully."- pictur-
esque. Under the title of German Political
Leaders Professor Herbert futile contributes
valuable article on the German Parliament
the Reichstag, or Imperial Diet with sketches
of the leaders of the parties there represented
and view of the principal questions dividing
these parties. The article is illustrated with
effective drawings by Reinhart and portraits,
George M. White contributes an illustrated
article on The Local Associations of Whittierss
Poems, full of interesting "reminiscences of the
poet and curious facts connected with the sub
jects treated by him. The two serial novels
Blacks Shandon Bells, and Miss Woolson's
For the Major-are continued. Ernest Inger-
soil contributes short story based on a ro-
nance associated with the old Russian fort in
Alta-Calfornia, described in his article Ia a
Redwood Logging Camp, in the January num-
Der. Eugenies Fete Day is bright little
sketch by "a Working Girl" Phil Robinson
compares the treatment of Nature-especially
of birds-by American and English poets Po-
ems are contributed by Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps and Julia G. r. Dorr. Southern Riy-
ers, by M. V. Moore, though having no especial
value as poem, is a very curious and interest
ing review of the Indian names given to South
ern rivers. Mr.. George William Curtis, in the
Easy Chair, describes the gay winter season in
New York; discusses Tennyson's new play;
notices the recently published life and letters
of Lydia Maria Child; and pays graceful
tribute to the late Anthony Trollope. The
Literary Record and other departments, in
Gliding an admirable Drawer are full, as usual,
of timely and interesting matter.

ITALY is now the centre Of war prepara-
tion. The arsenals at Spezzia, Messina and
Elba are said to be busy getting out muni-
louisville the pleasantries of the diplo-
matists at the various courts go on uninter-
ruptedly. Italy was to have been one Of the
allies of France in Gambetta's war of re-
venge, but, as the Republic has its hands
full at home, the Peninsula must be con-
templating an adventure of its own. The
recent coquetting of Russia with the Quirin-
oil leaves little doubt of the point of attack if
the Alpine Kingdom is really polishing up
Its arms for the fray. Austria is the object
and the alliance with Russia the means de-
pended upon to equalize the preponderance
of the Austro-Hungarian armies. France
may be expected to look on with an eye to a
chance for Intervention in her own inter-
ests.

TENNESSEE, according to the inaugural

where "climate not only gives strength and

the rose of health to nestle and blush upon

scatter the gold dusi of knowledge DER the
budding intellects of rising generations, as
the church, in free Faith and free speech,
sanctiies and blesses it; where liberty law
is no longer guarded by bayonets, as the bal
lot falls, unmelested, in its sacred precincts,
and, with talismanic power, executes a free

MYSTERIOUS bill just introduced in the
Illinois State Senate provides that call cor

Of" The purport of the measure is I'm
known. The author of the measure says it
Is merely to give citizenship to corporations
to the extent of enabling them to sue and be
sued; Others say that it would make all cor
porations amenable to the laws of the State,
and prohibit them from removing causes
from State 10 Federal Courts; others still say
it would enable corporations to purchase and
convey real estate, vote money, contract
debts and exercise all the rights vested in the
individual citizen.

TIE performances of Herr Most in this
country have at any rate had one gratifying
result. They have known that be cannot
produce any great impression upon the peo-
pie who hear him talk. He has gone from
city to city, and while there are a few rattle
brains everywhere to get up a meeting for
him, there is no enthusiasm at the assem-
blages and nobody seems to be influenced by
his crazy utterances. Advice to kill every
body and steal everything is not very dan
gerous SO long as the person who gives it is

Broug'lt into Competition with the World,
the best Carries off the HFonOrs.
AT the great Centennial Exhibition of 1875, the
leading products of all the branches of the Worlds
industry were assembled at Philadelphia To carry
off prize in the face of that tremendous COMPETE
ton was task of no ordinary difficulty. Inyen
tons and preparations for the alienation of pain
and the cure of disease were present in the greatest
possible variety representing the skill and the pro-
foundest study of the age and it may be Of vital inn
portance to you, personally to know that the high
est and only medal given to rubber Porous plasters
was awarded to the manufacturers of BENSoN's
CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER, by the following
Jury.
Dr.. VIM. ROTH, Surgeon-General Prussian Army.
J. H. THOMPSON, A. NJ, NJ. D., Washington, D. c.
G. B. WHITE M. D., New Orleans.
ERNEST FLElSCH, NJ D., Austria.
The decision was afterwards confirmed by the
medical jury at the last Paris Exposition Knowing
the value of such high and unbiased testimony the
medical profession, both in the United States and in
Europe, quickly threw aside the old, slow-actiug
plasters they had be en- using and adopted Bensons
in their regular practice. That physicians and sur
geons of the broadcast regulations did this distinctly
proves the intrinsic merit of the article.
1t is no more than just to add that the average
physician of to-day is not dominated by the preju-
dices which retarded the progress and modified the
successes of his predecessors of more than twen
ty-five years ago He accepts hints from all quar-
tiers and endorses and adopts demonstrated healing
agents wherever he finds them.
The right of Bensons Capcine Porous Plaster to
stand at the head of all external applications what
soever, for the mitigation cure of disease, is no
longer questioned
Let the purchaser, however, be on his guard
against limitations. The genuine has the word
