 Women in Europe.
 From the Worcester Spy.l
 The woman question, as the movement in favor of education. and political rights for women is called, has excited more or less 1T. terest and made more or less converts in every country of Europe and in the East
 Mr. Theodore Stanton has obtained from the
 eaders of the movement in each country a eport of the condition of women and the progress they are making. These reports he
 has translated, when translation was required, edited and annotated, and has himself written the account of theS movement in Francs. These papers make a volume of about 800 pages which Frances Power Cobbe intro duces and endorses. Most of the writers are elderly women, few are women under forty, and only two are men. The general tone of the papers is calm, earnest and hopeful, al though in some countries the women show a stolid indifference to their condition of par tial slavery, and persist in respect for and confidence in the men of their families.

Their struggles, the obstacles they have encountered and the victories they have won there, are told by Mrs. Fawce!t (wife of the postmaster generaD, who is es- pecially interested in woman suffrage; Mrs. Grey, who devotes hsrsSlf to the adncation of women; Mrs Hogan, physician, who gives a remarkable and interesting account of the aggressive and successful warfare Of the first women doctors in England; Miss Jessie Boucherett who is active in the industrial movement, and anxious to persuade poor ladies to turn their attention to pig and poul- try farming and Mrs. Barnett, who writes of women as phiianthropists. nurses, teach CTS, landlords, and friends of the poor. The time is near, apparently, whom English women will have all the rights and privileges, politl- cal, educational and social, that English men have, and will suffer from no disabilities save those seemingly imposed by nature, but which fashion and science may in good time remove The most eloquent speakers for the cause of women in England are Miss Becker, Mrs, Scratchard, and Mrs Shearer In France, clever, capable, and industrious as the women are, the condition morally and financially of the working women Is very bad, but socialism under every form IS friendly to them, and in time they may be free from the and unjust laws which, made by Napoleon Bonaparte, still press upon the sex " hich he held in contempt. In a brief notice of Madame Durand, known as Henri GrevilIe, she is spoken of ss mot only talented and clever novelist, but also 8 broad-minded, liberal thinker on all the great reform and questions of the hour," and her artistic little house on the heights of Mont martre is an influential center for the prOpa- 9ation of modern ideas.
 In Germany for the last twenty years the woman question "has been marching on from victory to victory" but although it had, at the beginning, the advantage of compulsory sducation, 1t is still, in regard to the higher of wom1n, behind England and France, Switzerland, Sweden. Italy and Rus ,ia. In Austria and in Norway women sre not yet interested in their own emancipation, put the reformers in those countries hope to awaken them to their degraded condition, and % efforts to improve 1t. Sweden is we'll ad- vanced in the new way; the advantages of ed- 1cation and property are the same for both 'exes, and women vote in some municipal af- :airs.
 In Italy the emancipation of women is not new idea caught from the United States or England, but a thought native to the country, rom the earliest times, and in favor with nen as we'll as with women. The Princess Ihika, known as "Dora D'Istria," dis inguished writer, states that all educational advantages are open to Italian women, ifthey will only conc forward and use them. The l princess, who is devoted to the advancement | if women, is described by Carlo Yriarte as, | oarisisn like Gavarni, Italian like Belgiojoso, l Spanish like Larra, German like Goethe, 3ussian like Pousehkine, Wallachian like @ | lhika, and Greek like Bozzaris or Lord | 3yron, with whom she divides the honor of laving received from the Athenian parlia- nent the rights of "Grand Citizen"
 Spain is slowly improving, but still very ow down in the scale of civilization, and 'ortugal is not much better. Divorce IS not ecoRnized in the Portuguese law, and mar jed woman cannot publish her writings with ut the consent of her husband, OF, in case f his unjust refusal, an order from the ourts.
 Miss Marie Zebrikof describes Russia as thoroughly democratic, country where the Dirit of liberty and equality is like rising ,ater but where the woman question is still | the ideal phase, although women have the ontroI of their own fortunes, vote on the me terms that men do, and have secured le right to higher education. Yet they are ill in subiection to parents and husbands, Id the lot of the lower classes is hard and iserable.
 In Bohemia women teachers receive the me salary that men do, although there are 10 hundred thousand more females than ' ales in the population, and the rights of omen are, freely discussed. Miss Kehaya gives a charming account of c Greek women. Although the women of ost countries are represented as capable of | eat nobleness of action and elevation Of ought, the Greeks seem to surpass all oth- s in dignity of character and all womanly A aces and virtues; their only fault seems to

Stanton's book is full of interesting 2 formation. and of pleasant sketches of the Iding female reformers of England and rope.
