ed. The young and capricious miss,
with an elegant person and finely mod

and splendidly bedecked with dark,
shining locks very often destroys the
moral beauty of her nature merely to
humor the pe-rverseness of her physical
attractions. She trusts in the power Of
her bodily charms, and she even refuses
to provide herself with those of a less
perislable nature which are not only
serviceable while bodily beauty remains
but especially so when it is gone forev-

NO BEATING FOR WIFE-BEATERS.

The lower house of the Massachusetts, Legis-
lature-has rejected the bill passed by the Senate
a few days ago providinga whipping post for
wife -beaters. The idea of the bill was that the
wife-beater should know just how it felt to be
beaten, and be wise in time which would be the
next time. TO reach this result majority were
ready to go back to discarded usages, and set
ND AN old-fashioned Delaware whipping-post
right in the midst of the digniiied and learned
people of Massachusetts,. But the feeling that
the establishment of such mode of punish
ment might harm those who inflicted it-regard-
ing the people of Massachusetts as swinging the
lash-more than those who received it, seems to
have prevailed. There was some fear of the
brutallzing influences that might flow from such
a custom. One member, who was evidently
afraid of the moral effect upon the man who
had the whipping to do, was ready to approve
the idea If tho whipping could be done by a
machine.
The wife -beater is a troublesome criminal.
1t is seldom that his victim will complain OF
him. and when she does, the chances are that she
will intercede for him when the judge begins
to pass sentence. The disprOportion between the
sentences passed upon wife heaters and other
classes Of criminals Is absurd anywhere. In
England satirical pamphlet has just been Is
sued called the Wife-Beaters Manual" show
ing how easy those brutes fare In the courts.
Something can surely be done to make the
penalties heavier without res0rting to modes
of punishment which modern progress has
repudiated. This, and stern spirit In the
judges-which &c must be said they are often
ready to show when they get an opportunity

Of the participants in these debates, ana does
always, in fact, in any debate upon official sala
ries. This is that Government salaries must be
conditioned upon spirit of sacrifice in the
oflice-holder Some Senators expressed this
view in those words. Even Senator Harrison, n
strong friend of the bill, did not think the posi-
tions should be sought rs places whore one can
"lay ND money" though why judge should
not like to lay up money as we'll as other men,
il would be hard to say. Senator Harrison
thought if we were TO have "a respectable and
Independent Judiciary" we should pay the
Judge a sufficient salary to enable him to live
"decently and TO raise his family decentiy and
give his children an education" This is not
dazzling prospect, and yet it is more, perhaps,
than the Government does for him now. In
some States, and in many cities, notably in this,
the scale of judicial salaries is extravagant'
The Federal scale is parsimOnious, ill-adJusted'
and unworthy of a great Government. The
Senate bill ought to become law, as saSe step
