Tariff of Wives.

In the earliest times of purchase a
woman was bartered for useful goods CT
for services rendered to her father. In
this latter way Jacob purchased Rachel
and her sister Leah. This was q Beena
marriage, where man, as in Genesis,
leaves his father and his mother and
cleaves unto his wife, and they become
one flesh or kin-the woman's. The
price of bride in British Columbia and
Vancouver island varies from $50 to
$40 worth of articles. In Oregon an
Indian gives for her horses, blankets or
buffalo robes; in California, shell money
or horses; in Africa, cattle.
A poor Damara will sell a daughter
for q COW. a richer Kaffir expects from
three to 80. With the Banyai, if moth
ing be given, her family claim her chill
dren. IN Uganda, where no marriage
recently existed, she may be obtained for
half q dozen needles, or coat, or pair
of shoes. An ordinary price is q box of
percussion caps. In other parts q goat
Or a couple OF buckskins Will buy girl.
Passing to Asia, we find her price is
sometimes 5 to so rubles, or at others q
CARLOAD of wood or hay. A princess
may be purchased for 5000 rubles.
III Tartary a woman can be obtained
for few pounds of butter, or where
rich man gives 20 small oxen poor
man may succeed with pig. In Fiji
her equivalent is Il whales tooth or
musket. These and similar prices else
where are eloquent testimony to the lit
tie value savage sets on his wife. Her
charms vanish with her girlhood. She
is usually married while child, and
through her cruel slavery and bitter life
she often becomes old and repulsive at
