LEGISLATIVE PROGRESS.
what the Different states are Doing In
the Interests Of Women.

what the Different states are Doing In
the Interests Of Women.
The recent past has boon frightful in
legislation that concerns women.
The Massachusetts, Legislation )i"e
made it possible for married woni-..
who is minor to relinquish her dover,
and to ALLEVIATE her homestead rights
The New Jersey Assembly passed
bill making it unnecessary for married
women to take separate acknowledge
ment from their husbands in any con-
veyance The separate acknowledge
ment has hitherto provided that tho
wife should be questioned apart from
her husband to make sure that she gave
her consent to the conveyance, and was
not acting under compulsion from him.
In the New Jersey Senate a bill was
passed providing that a husbands real
estate sold under judgment shall be re-
lieved of the wife's dover. Heretofore
a wife could hold her dover rights in all
cases. They could only be taken from
her by her own act. Now she will lose her
dover when property is sold under judg-
ment. The debts which made this sale
necessary may have been contracted
against her entreaty and protest, but all
the same she will lose her dover.
In Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court
has given decision in regard to the
property of married women and their
right to make will.
Though such important interests Of
women are concerned, neither the Leg
islatures nor the courts have a single
woman as member to represent the
woman's point Of view in the matter.
Is it not evident that women, like all
other classes, need to have voice in
legislation?-Lucy Stone, in Woman's
Journal.

The father went away, and long dis
cussion followed. The medical experts
for the State had received new light;
the next day the counsel were aston
ished at the change and unanimous
opinion OF the State experts as to great
doubt Of the full sanity Of the prisoner.
The witnesses for the defense went on
the stand wi tn such confidence and tes-
titled so clearly that no amount Of
cross-examination could destroy the
good impression produced. The ex-
perts for the State could give no aid to
counterfeit this view of disease and ir-
responsibility. The lawyers were as
tonished, and finally concluded that the
medical men had been Influenced or
bought up by the defense. The case
ended in verdict Of manslaughter and
the prisoner was sentenced to prison
for life. A few months later the pris.
oner died, and his brain revealed extern
sive disease which had been going on
for long time.
Recently this oid-fasilioned piiysiciap
and myself were associated in another
case, and in conversation he related the
following: "The man whom we do
Tended had been from infancy an
idioSic dement,, with every symptom OF
partial intoxication. He reflected the
exact state of his parents at the
time he was given being; the
intense sorrow and modification led
them to conceal this fact as far as
possible. For over twenty years this
young man was the terrible skeleton
which haunted them continually. I
early came into possession OF this Sc.
cret and helped the parents to conceal
it. On the trial the testimony of the
asylum physician was most to be dread.
ed This physician was man Of firm
theological convictions concerning
vice. and dreaded all innovations or
changes of theories. He also believed
in heredity. The question was to put
these facts Of heredity in some form SO
they could be Invested of all personality
and in this way reach this physician.
If his strong convictions of this prison.
er's responsibility could be shaken the
case would be won. Sc / arranged with
the father to come in at the proper mo.
ment and make the statement of tho
origin Of the prisoners disorder, and
plead that he could be sent to prison
for life and not hung as felon." Both
parents are dead, and family of great
responsibility bear their name, and the
mystery of this criminal and the crime
is buried. The skeleton which came
into their home at the beginning re-
NAMED to the very close Of life. Many
other homes are haunted in the same
way by those poor alcoholic dement's,
who represent the sins of The parents,
aud whose passage through life is a
night journey, dark and fitful. IT. d.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
AN ABSTINENCE SONG.

Ma1dens, loving, gentle, tender,
Rally for the strife;
Swear you'll not the heart surrender,
Never be called wife,
BY the liquor dealing masses,
Nor the genteel waif,
Who from dainty little glasses
Drink, and deem 1t safe.
Never let the hallow'd lovelight
Beaming from your eye,
Rest on man, If eer this soul.blight
Darkly you descry.
Never in the rosy arbor,
At the days decline.
Never for q moment harbor
Him who sippeth wine.
Never in the silvery moonlight
Take the tippler's arm
Be 1t eve or glorious sunlight,
Flee in dread alarm.
Buyer, seller, tippler, drunkard,
Dealer, great and small
Maidens, will you shout the watchwaId
Abstinence Tor oil; -
Or no wives to round them cluster
With fond caress--
No fair lips with ruby luster
Theirs to meet and press.
Though with sadden'd soul, and fearful,
Rally heart and mind;
Satan's bonds, tho strong and fearful,
You may yet unbind.
Then work on, the day is dawning,
Death transformed to life;
In the glorious Temperance morning
Victory is rife.
Courage, maidens, no repining,
Tho fond hopes it shroud;
Courage, for silver lining
Gems the darkest cloud.
Oh what bliss shall crown the hour
When the strife is DER,
When redeemed from Satan's power
Men shall drink no more.

resolution recommending the establish.
ment OF a school OF manual training in

for some reason the manual training

have been taken. II is n question il, in

favor OF q Manual Training School than

with manual training in other cities have
been 10 successful and the benefits to
the youth have been go notable that
thers il no longer any doubt that such
an institution in Wheeling would be
practicable. The adoption Of the system
in our public schools would be a wise
policy and in keeping with educational
progress, and it is to be regretted that
the teachers did not place themselves in
