Man Is rebelliDg in England. According
to recent decision of an English court a
man has good case at law against q
clergyman who persuades his (the man's)
wife to 60 to church, instead of staying at
home and cooking the dinner.
An English judge told the jury in a
murder trial at Yorkshire recently that it
was his opinion that ''if one man called
another a liar slight blow in retaliation
is iustifable" He added: ssThis may be
new law, but it is common sense"
A man who marries great woman must
pay the penalty, as illustrated by the fol-
lowing announcement made at Boston:
George Eliot's widower, j. W. Cross, is
about to bring out a volume of his essays.
It is entitled Impressions of Dante and
the New World"
The Japanese know how to conduct an
auction. In Japanese auction rooms both
men and women are required to write their
names and the prices they will pay upon
slips of paper. The slips are dropped into
box. At a stated time the box is opened
and the goods are declared The property of
the highest bidder.
The Anti-Tenement-H House League of
Boston is to establish colony in the sub
urbs of that city of 100 families as begin
ming in the work which 1t has planned to
give the crowded families of city tenement
houses room in which to live as families
ought to live. The League evidently sees
great future for its work, for DIR. Hale
declares that children were made for
country life," and that there is 'money
enough, enthusl--, enough and Christian
ity enough in Boston to give it to them"
All the "Pooh Bahs" are not in Japan.
Justice John T. Ford of Canarsie, L. l.,
recently attended, with his family and
others, the funeral of child that died of
diphtheria. The health officer has applied
for warrants for the arrest of all who so
attended in violation of the statute and
Justice Ford has issued them. As justice
he will hear his own case as accused, being
held on the warrant which he issued, and
announces that he shall adjourn the case
at discretion till he is satisfied what ought
to be done. He will collect his fees as
justice for trying himself. He will have
counsel, and his counsel may have to ap-
peal from his own decision against him
self.
The oleomargarine act in England seems
to be wholly powerless to effect its pur-
pose, which was to prevent the sale of that
material as butter. 1t appears that no less
than 100000 pounds of the compound
were imported during the week ending on
the Sd of December, and the amount for
the first eleven months of the year was
1872, 900, 900 pounds. Of course it is quite
plain that there must be brisk demand to
justify 30 liberal a supply, and there is no
reasonable doubt that the greater part of it
is disposed of as butter. The cheaper class
of coffee houses dispose of enormous guam
titles of this material. Eighty-eight par
.nent. of the "butter" seized in one of those
establishments the other day proved to be
maggarine. The Central Board of Dairy
EaFmers are trying to bring about more
capable and conscientious enforcement of
theslaw, but thus far their efforts have not
been attended with much success.
