Captain George CaSsin, chief of the
record division of the navy department, is
grandson of the late Commodore stephen
CaSSn, who was IA enant-cOmmandant
under McDonough, in the naval victory of
Plattsburgh, and was voted gold medal
by Congress. Fort Cassin, at the mouth of
Otter Creek, was named after Commodore
Cassin,
1t is said that some fun is made at the
navy department over an application from
"A Wesleyan wOman's college in Ohio for
the detail of II young ensign as an instruc-
tor there. As there is no law allowing the
detail of line officers of the navy to col
lege duty, the application could not be
granted. A clause was put in the naval
bill last year providing for the detail of
twenty line officers to perform college
duty by Mr.. Bedford of Colorado, who
said that the colleges in his state, includ
ing those for females, were fairly crying
for these young officers. 1t did not pass

FRIDAYS SESSION.
The Rights of Married Women the Theme
which Rouses the Conscript Fathers
The Bill Finally Passed--Other Meas
ures Debated-The First Bill
Signed by the Governor.

The eloquence in the Senate was con
tinued Friday morning for and against
the rights Of married women. Senator
Mott attacked the bill because it did not
sufficiently protect the right of married
men, and he wanted the bill amended.
Senator Howe wished the bill to state
definitely all the ways in which woman
could acquire property; and Senator Hol-
ton asked how n husband could secure Il
debt against his wife, since he could not
sue her, and thought the husband ought
to have an equal chance with outside
creditors in securing his debt. Senator
| Idle answered all the objections and ques
tions of his opponents very clearly and
satisfactorily. He Stated that the bill
could not cover all branches of the law of
| contracts, nor could it be loaded down
with amendments to provide for all posi-
bile exceptions, foT that would make the
| bill impracticable in it, workings. Nor

homes. Some of the greatest scholars
| in the world have been men and women
who we're very busy about other things
than books through almost the whole
of their waking hours. Newspapers
are help, but they don't take the
place of good books. 1t is only by
getting at new ideas-finding out what
wiser people than we think about life
in its different aspects-that we shall
grow, and be really fit to settle the
great problems of existence. So, if we
must stay at home, let us go travelling
with General Gordon, or Stanley, or
some of the brave men who are real
missionaries wherever they go, no
matter whether it is north or south or
east or west. The way to make our
houses beautiful is to fill them and
their Orderings with large and intel
ligent spirit. If we are truly wise, we
shall do wise things with our time and
our money, not foolish ones, and our
ideas will find bodies for themselves
somehow. If we only think scraps of
worsted and patchwork, we shall for
ever go on making them if we think
books and pictures, and simple cover
ings and charming cOlOrs and attract
i've economies, instead of repellent ex-
travagances, we shall go on finding
these and putting them in their places
i'll our homes. 1t is not for nothing
that there are so many delightful biog-
raphies nowadays, and that they are
made so much more interesting every
year they are an outgrowth of civili-
zation, and are meant for us to take
pattern by. To match our age there
are thousands of books to match tn 6

our houses so much more cheaply than
we can do it ourselves. 1t is better to
buy many things that used formerly to
be done under our own roofs, and this
should make us say to ourselves, will
do better things; I will climb the next
step and the next. 1t is going back
too far and hindering ourselves too
much, putting ourselves into wrong
relations with our time, to use our

of so little real use or ornament, and
makes such waste of our half hours

Years ago, before the discussion of
sanitary and hygieuic methods had he
come common, and the majority of
people logged on in familiar ruts,
watched the rise and progress of lit
tie family, the five children in which
represented every phase of the keen,
nervous life belonging to this genera
ton. The father was ii scientific stu
dent, overworked always, and know
ing no other life as possible or desira-
bic, the mother, intense and eager,
with small physical vitality, and de
pending chiefly on her will, assisted
by strong tea, to carry her through
each busy day. Her common sense
was admirable, and, so far as knowl-
edge admitted, she did all that she
knew for the best development of the
five restless little souls III her charge.
They had abundant fresh air and good
food, and they were not Over-stimulat-
ed in any direction but they had
tempcrs of such dimensions that the
ample backyard in which they spent
much of their waking time was often
more like a cage of vigorous hyenas.
Fond of one another, resenting fiercely
an injustice or presumption from other
children, they squabbled from morn
ing till night, chronic i'll temper set
ting down on the bright faces, and
lurking in the soft hazel eyes they had
inherited from the father The baby
alone seemed equable and tolerably
mild but Mabel and Bess, the seven
and nine year old girls, and Harry and
Frank, the younger boys, each pair
sleeping together in the ordinary
double bed, quarreled at least once an
honr, and often went to sleep worn out
with passionate crying. The mother
argued and punished, plead and pun
ished again, half desperate at times
over the state of things, and expert
menting in every way with food, tenn
perature and exercise. to bring them
into better condition.

There Is something ominous in the
number of advertisements, in our most
widely circulated papers, which offer
scraps of silk for patchwork. | have

going to protest against the whole
state of things that makes this bust
ness possible and profitable.
Several hundred years ago it was
the custom for women to embroider
tapestries, but they had many reasons
for doing such work. In the first
place there were very few shops, and
almost all the cloth that was worn by IA
household had 10 be woven and shaped
by the member of it !; of course all
the decoration and ad0rnment of a
fine house was necessarily simple and
largely of home manufacture. The
famous tapestries were almost always
the work of the richest women, for
they only were free freIn the incessant
household work. In one way they had
nothing else to do. Many could not
read at all, and, if they conld, they
had, at best, only their prayer books
ana handful of other volumes to
spend their time upon books that
We're not read so mneb for what we
should call instruction, as for some
half superstitiOas reverence for reli-
gious things. Repetition was more
important than anything else to the
average mind. .-:
But now that our walls are already
covered with neat papers, and our
