Married women In England.

On the first day OF this year the relations
OF husband and wife in England under.
went complete change. The Married
Woman's Property act OF 1882 is the last Of
series OF legislation entirely superseding
the old common.law rule that the rights Of
wife are merged in her husband. The
result is that there are four classes Of mar.
ried woman in England having distinct
rights aud liabilities. First those married
before August 8, 1880, are entitled to their
wages and earnings and to any other prop.
erty 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 under
intestacy, to sums coming by will or deed
up to ST 900, and to rents Of freeholds de-
scending to them as heiresses. Husbands
of these women are not liable for debts
contracted before marriage. Women mar.
ried between 1874 and 1888 can make
their husbands liable for debts only to the
extent OF the assets which the latter have
received from their wives. Women mar
ried after January l Of this year may &C,
ouire, hold and dispose Of real estate and
personal property in the same manner as
II unmarried without the intervention OF
trustees. A wife may now sue her hus-
band, prosecute him criminally, and even
make him q bankrupt 1t remains to be
seen whether this change in the law will
increase The business OF the divorce courts.

About High Farming.

Joseph Harris, author oil "Walks and
Talks on the Farm" etc, asks and answers
some important questions in farming IN
the American Agricuituria for February:
We now have far better tools Tor cultl-
waiting land than formerly. In iact, our
tools are better than our agriculture. And
we may rest assured that so soon as we
adopt improved methods OF farming and
gardening, our inventors and manuiactur'
ers will furnish all the tools, implements,
and machines necessary to do the work.
But will it pay to adopt high farming?
That depends on what we mean by high
farming. High farming, II we confne our.
selves TO the production oil hay, Indian
corn, wheat, oats, and other ordinary farm
crops, will not pay in this country. And
Sir John Bennett Lawes once wrote paper,
or gave lecture before Farmers Club in
Scotland, in which he demonstrated that
high farming was no remedy Tor the low
prices OF agricultural products Of Great
Britain and Ireland. think, however, he
would admit that thorough cultivation and
heavy manuring could be proftably used
for the production OF what We usually term
garden products.

mistake. Neither Old England nor New
England will ever raise all the wheat re-
quired by its population. Even the great
State OF New York, hope, will continue to
raise on its own soil all the wheat it an
nually consumes. Commerce is the fea.
ture Of the age, and wheat is carried ten
thousand miles to market. Cheap bread
is what the world wants, and what the
world wants the world will get Cheap
wheat can never be furnished by high
farming. It must and will be grown
largely on land MANFRED only by nature.
There may be places in which wheat can
be profitably grown, where many
Of the constituents OF the plant
must be applied to the soil, Just
as there are places where we can protitably
use chemical processes for the production
Of ice. As a rule, however, nature and
commerce will furnish ice cheaper than
even modern science can manufacture 1t.
We shall consist largely in the production
of wheat, corn, oats, barley, cotton, sugar,
and rice. The other, while it will not
entirely neglect these great products, will
aim to produce crops which can not be
kept from year to year, or ordinarily be
transported long distances.

Since the meeting Of the present Legs
laturs we have had occasion to pass upon
It few criticisms because Of what 1t was
doing and what 1t was not doing. Wetrist
that these attentions have been as kindly
taken as they were meant. Partly to show
that the ISrBLLIoRScERis not caphous, and
more because truth is eternal, we embrace
this fleeting moment to laud virtue Of the
Bourbon majority.
The Democrats Of the Legislature have
courage, in every land and age the theme
OF song and lovely woman's alteration.
They have the courage to commit them
selves to false doctrine and boast OF their
devotion to error. They have the courage
to condone their party's wrongs and justi'
fy them by the necessities OF the case
They have the courage TO leap backward q
quarter Of a century and plant themselves
on the shifting sands long since supposed
TO have been swept of by the food OF a
peoples blood and tears. 1t requires great
courage in this day to raise the banner
which jackson struck from Calhoun's
hand and Grant from Lees. There are
some peculiar phrases Of this insane cour.
age, and 1t fires the Bourbon heart to
strange contradictions.
The doctrine Of State rights is avowed
and along with 1t comes the startling
declaration that the State constitution is 80
elastic that it may be evaded. 1.-THE bear
ing Of this observation lies in the applica.
ton on it" The constitution OF West Vir'
einia declares how revenue deficiencies
shall be met. The provision is not permits
sorry, but peremptory. 1t is held in the
Bourbon Legislature that this is not bind
ing because something else is better suited
to Bourbon purposes. Here we have the
captivating doctrine OF partisan convent
ence. II the fundamental law can be bent
to it any other and all other laws OF the
State can in the same way be made to fit.
BY strange anomoly these state-rishts
Rourbons hold the Constitution OF the
United States In much higher respect.
That they hold tito be an instrument which
must be construed with strictness and
obeyed to the letter. For example. they
find in the Constitution OF the United
States no warrant for aid to the common
schools Of the States, and they are 50
nicely Bourbon about 1t that they not only
refuse to ask for such aid but intimate with
Bourbon broadness (which, in this matter is
the breadth OF narowness) that they will
not receive it. 1t might be supposed that
