The Wife,s Vow of obedience. Gaoree William Curtis in Harner,s Magazine f


 August.l
 The press, that vigilant sentinel upon the watch-tower of civil and religious liberty, like Sister Anne upon Bluebeard's turret, deserted something wrong in the ceremony of the Presidents wedding. It whispered audibly that the reverend doctor omitted from the service the word "obey," and that the lady therefore became a wife without the VOW of obedience to husband. This incl dent seriously disturbed certain newspapers whose course for many years has shown their profound concern for the interests of reli- zion, and many excellent persons also have been anxious to know whether, under such circumstances, the wife has been married properly. Indeed there are said to be some young women who suppose that the VOW of obedience is the essential marriage vow-a view in which they are resolutely supported by many very young gentlemen who are not very long emancipated from maternal con- l trol. It may allay these tender apprehensions to know not only that the word obey is often omitted from the marriage ceremony, but that many yelled ladies in wreaths of orange flowers insist upon the omission. In fact to use diplomatic language, the concession of l the omission has been known to be held ia many cases to be preliminary sine qua non | upon the part of one of the high contracting | parties. The word was introduced into the ceremony by men to express and emphasize the view of men that the man is the head of the woman. Indeed the interested inquirer will find that most of the traditional theo- | ries of the relations of the sexes which are | often quoted as indisputable and conclusive | arguments represent merely the views of | men. The laws which regulate these rela- | tions-the laws of divorce, of the rights and | the control of property, of the disposition | and care of children-are the work of men and simply express their will More than a | quarter of century ago MT. Gladstone said
 the divorce laws in England were shame to civilization and humanity

Figures for Free Traders.

1t will be seen from these figures that
the United States has in one century out
stripped the rest of the world in the accu-
mutation of wealth. In this fact there
should be food for thought both to those
who are in favor of the maintenance of our
present system of tariff and to those who
are agitating to overthrow that system. 1t
is beyond doubt that our protective tariff
has been the chief factor in developing the
natural resources of our country. Friends
and enemies alike of the system admit
this. Every American citizen should have
these figures ready for reference. Of
course the table dues not give the present
actual wealth, as it is now estimated, for
instance, that at the close of 1855 the
wealth of the United States was at least
$3.50, OOO, ZOO. 900. and the other nations men,
toned have also increased their aggregate
wealth since the Mulhall tables above
quoted were compiled. The increase has
not altered the relative position of the
United States, except, doubtless, to place
us farther in the lead than we were when
Mulhall made his compilations Lander

Three Children Probably Fatally Burned

New BRUNSWICK, n. J., Aug, 23-William
Hammil. partly blind lamp-lighter, while on
his rounds, threw his naphtha torch into group
of children and burned three of them seriously.
Mamie Houghton, eleven years of age. cannot
recover. The others are suffering greatly from
The torch was burning badly, and when he shook
it the naphtha blazed up and he threw it out of
his hands, unfortunately in the direction of
group of children who were playing a lawn.
As the torch struck the ground it exploded,
covering Mamie Houghton, her brothers, Eddie,
ten years old, and George. four years old, with
the burning 1uid and setting their clothes on
fire. The children ran shrieking across the lawn,
the flames from their clothing burning their
faces and hands. Their mother, attracted by
their cries, threw her children to the ground and
fell upon them and smothered the flames
