The remarkable story recently published Of
two women being legally married, one of whom
was for years disguised in male attire, appeared
TO have originated in the State Of Pennsyl-
vania, but an interesting part Of the romance
occurred in Arlington, Mass. Here lived
COL Aaron Hobart Amoug the children
born to the colonel was a daughter, Maria,
who received d thorough education and
was br ,ught up in refinement She fell in
and was married to him much against the
wishes of her parents. The match proved un-
fortunate Maria finally deserted her home,
aud Was found one morning behind pile OF
wood, in h town of Rockland, Mass, clasping
to her bosom newborn babe. The child was
named after its mother. Maria Perry, and was
taken care of by friends after the
mother died. She grew up beautiful
girl, but when about seventeen
years old she seemed to have an inclination
like her mother, to wand.r about. She would
be gone for weeks aud then return. Finally
she went away, aud when heard from was in
Pennsyvania few years later she returned
to Arlington with husband, whom she Intro
dnced az Joe L)bdelll, and visited her uncle.
Beujamin Hobart. she was kindly received
and ner husband was hired to do work about
the place. One day suspicion fell upon the
mind Of Lawyer Hobart that Joe was a woman
in disguise, which an investigation proved to be
the fact, and the Old man was 80 indignant

she lived with Maria again At that
time The estate of Marias motaer was settled
by E. B. K. Quincy OF Soush Hanson, and
the share which fell to Maria was real
tate valued at several thousand dollars. This
property she has not claimed, but is still in
Pennsylvania leading her curious and most
remarkable life, although sJoe," her s'Aus-

two years ago. Maria has brother na1ne.l

believe tnat ''Joe" Was the mother OF Guild

were married in due form by Justice Of the
peace of Wayne county, Pa, he being ignorant
Of the fact that they were both women. Sew

The wanderer TO his home: e.,
So do thine eyes beguile- e.

The fruits of the civil service reform
movement ais already apparent. No one,
..s0s even the most ardent friends of the
movement, expected TO witness the good
results thus early. But it is remarkable
fact that the moment the new Commission
got to work il was met by the people with
the most cordial sympathy, This in itself
is most encouraging. But again, it was
found that the heads of departments vel.
coined the operation Of the reform, and at
once declared themselves free and indie
pendent of the political bosses. Mr.. Eaton
says shis was almost amusingly made man
fest. He also reports that the Commission
has had no applications from the Treasury
for clerks. How would it have been under
the old system il, as now, there had been
s score of vacancies in the departments !?
The Treasury would have been crowded
from cellar to garnet with applicants :"
for fat pickiDgs, and each one would have
been backed by political influences" and
the head of the department. would have
been fatty told by the politicians that
there must be no vacancies left untitled.
Thus civil service reform commands re-
spect by its very name, and long before it
gets fully into working order.

Very well and if the Republican ticket

headedness, they should hold one more

methods of which will as certainly defeat
the aim as that the sun will rise, amounts
to something very nearly resembling blas-
phemy. These precious simpletons know
perfectly well that their ticket being kept in
the field will do more than aught else to
defeat the Republican party and to put
into power The faction that is openly and
ayowedly the enemy of all reform in the
direction the Prohibitionists would travel
Yet with this full knowledge they Insist
upon remaining in the fight, declaring that
they will die martyrs to the cause. :"

There is great deal of unwarrantabls

Restriction Act. Journals from which we
expected better things have given them.
selves over to growing and grumbling, and
come to open abuse OF the tribunal which
held that Chinese who are British sub
jects do not come within the purview of
! the Act, since, while the evident intention
was to exclude Chinese coming from any
and all foreign ports. we are bound by
treaty with England TO admit her people,
whatever their original nationality. In
other words, the exclusion Act only refers
to the people of China who are subjects of
the Chinese empire, and was intended to
carry out treaty provisions with China
alone. That very obstacle in the way Of
excluding the Chinese was pointed out at
the tins the measure was originated. 1t
Is useless and childish to weep over it now.
Instead of roundly abusing tie Courts and
arraying against us tie sentiment of the
East, which WIS so hardly overcome be-
fore, California journals had better by far
turn their attention to methods for secur-
ing such measures as are needed from Con.
gress, even to review of all the treaties
we have with All nations, than to indulg.
ence IN such doleful walls as have filed
their columns recently. Admit it, if we
will, that the Courts are multiplying the
laws, what do the wiseacres who MOURN
over their alleged dishonesty expect
to accomplish by indulging in personal
abuse of the judges? While none
have been more earnest in seeking
the lawful exclusion of the Chinese, and
none have gone or will go further in attain
ing that end By lawful methods than the
RECoRD-U UNION, it has not feared to an
nounoe its belief that the decision of the
Massachusetts, Court is justified by the in
depreciation of the law given. We ven
ture to say that no sound lawyer who
gives the matter calm consideration will
come to any other conclusion. 1t is posi-
BILE that higher Court may reverse the
ruling, but we repeat, the question is one
of such grave doubt at the very least, that
there is ample warrant for the decision of
the Court but we believe it to be the
right Interpretation of the law. Certainly
it is not willful, fragrant and nuliifying
decree, az is represented. Californians, of
all others, at this iuncture need to keep
their tempers. They have once demon.
stratsd how little the East is moved by our
rage, and how much more easily it is wen
BY reason and s presentation of the facts.
If now we repeat our past folly, we must
expect 70 lose all we have gained up to
this time,

Il now develops that the late furry in
the stock market at New York had, just as
we reasoned at sbe time, very little con.
nection with tho regular commercial busi-
ness Of the country. The people took q
very sensible view of the matter and did
not precipAate panic by orowding cred.
its, SIS they might have done. The truth
is we are learning more and moro Of bust
ness wisdom, and one Of the lessons that
experience has driven into our understand
ing ia that it is always the wisest to meet
sncd events IS those of the WalI.street
panic with boldneas, and il there come

" may, and ct once set about to recover

Tn Fw,ein JluInsls al agree that IN the
.ase eze.teecrt men chung together and
helped each older more than was ever be-
fore observable. They realized thst there
gss no depth to the panic that the
markets OF the country steadily rose for
nearly three years, and then were halted
by the agricultural failure OF 81, since
which they have declined until the margin
of profits has become merely nominal, and
that now there is every reason TO believe
the country is, without rising market, in
healthy financial condition. The rise
from 1879 TO 1881 was perhaps too rapid,
and hence Che declination since has been
more apparent than real. There is no rea-
BON, however, 60 expect any advances in
prices. Tine country is full Of goods, sid
the merchants pro6ts are exceedingly nar-
row. "The whole tendency of the ooun-
try is toward smaller earnings" Gays the
Boston Advertiser. after full re.
view of the situation. And it adds !:
"The advance Of the country in
genuine prosperity Ia unquestions5le.
We have more money, more goods and
more production than ever before in our
entire history. But business is conducted
more oonservatively"-by which our con.
temporary means on smaller margins of
profit. 'But this conservatism, amply
demonstrated by the banks, by the organ
izers of production, and By the merchants,
has not prevented many fluctuations in
prices, and very many occurrences Of an
illegitimate and exasperstirg nature. The
railroads of the country have produced in
1882 net earnings OF about ii per cent on
the total Liabilities, against per cent in
1880. This fact illustrates the tendency
of the times toward smaller earnings,
although net earnings of d per cent on a
capital in good part nominal, are not bad"
The general Judgment is that the year has
not witnessed aoctuations of a remarkably
unusual nature thst the country ia richer
than ever bsfore, and the opportunities for
living comfortably and cheaply have vastly
increased and all the evidences warrant
the conclusion.
