 An interesting case has just been decided 1 in Massachusetts. 4 man and a woman were | married in that State in 1s69 They lived l together until his death in 1885, Then she I learned for the first time that her supposed
 husband, when she married him, was already | married; that he had never been divorced, and that this wife was still living. The for mer was not, therefore, the widow of the de- ceased, for the reason that her marriage with
 him was not lawful. Consequently she had no legal title to A wife's share of his property Thereupon she brought an action against his administrator for services rendered by her as housekeeper during the time she lived with her supposed husband. The Massachusetts Supreme court decides that the action cannot
 be maintained. It says that as the parties lived together as husband and wife there was no agreement or promise, express or implied, that she should be paid anything for her ser-
 
 wrong, that she had been deceived, did not, the court adds, help her case.
 The Shakespeare statue which has just been
 unveiled in Paris was given to the city of
 Paris by MT. Knighton, president of an in- ternational society of literature; who desired
 to testify his warm acknowledgement of the efforts made by the Parisian stage to render
 the works of Shakespeare. The donation was
 laid before the Municipal Council, who nom- mated a committee to report on it. After some discussion. in which the old legend of
 perfdious Albion was revived, the committee voted in favor of accepting the gift, which
 was accordingly done. But another difficulty arose-where was the memorial to be erected:
 MT. Knighton expressed 6 desire to see it
 built on the Place du Palsis-Royal, in front of the Conedie- Franchise, or at the entrance of the Avenue de POpera. The city authori- ties objected to both these sites on the ground
 that it would be something too extraordinary
 to raise a statue to foreigner in proximity
 to the House of Moliere, while no such hou-
 age had yet been bestowed on any native au- thor. After searching far and wide it was at length decided to erect it on the ''carrefou1" formed by the Boulevard Haussnann, the
 Avenue de Messine, and the Rues Airomesnil and Delaborde-a quarter inhabited by great many English and Americans.
 The action of Chief Judge Tellott of Maryland in coming out for Harrison and ton. The conclusion of his letter setting forth his reasons for the change is as fol- lows: The evil of the surplus in the treasury can easily be obviated. Let them remove the sugar tax and that from many oth- CT articles which ought to come in free and there will then be no surplus. But it is ap- parent that men who will keep the duty on sugar and let the foreign wool in free, so that our farmers will have to compete with Australian wool growers and Europe, are not the safest depositories of political power.
 The State of Maryland has endeavorsd to
 protect wool growers by tax on dogs in many of the counties, but the present domi- nant party in the House of Representatives propose to render such legislation useless by letting in foreign wool free and thus injur- ing our farmers more than would be done by 6 thousand sheep-killing dogs turned
 loose in every county. In conclusion
 would say that any farmer or workingman who votes for party that is moving in the direction of free trade will be voting to im- poverish himself. beggsr his family and
 bring on the country calamities which
 afflicted us in 1s40. In that year cass my first vote fer General William Henry Har- rison, and this year it is my intention to vote for his worthy grandson, General Hen " Harrison, who, I believe, will make as good . President as any man now living in America.
