Monen,. RIrhts In Indiana.

The legal rights OF women are no.
where in the union more liberal than in
the state OF Indiana. In a recent ad-
dress by lawyer before the WomRn's
club in Indianapolis these were thus
formulated: Since 1881 a married
woman may hold real OF personal prop
srty the same as If she were unmar-
rIea. She is now permitted to become
surety or indorser for her husband, or
any other person. She may carry on
any trade or business, and perform any
labor or service on her separate ae-
count. and is entitled to her separate
earnings. Her legal condition is one
OF comparative freedom and independ-
enee The policy OF the law Of recent
years has been TO remove her disabili-
ties, and at the same time to protect
her from the Vaccinations of those
who might seek to take advantage OF
her inexperience and OF her willing
ness 10 sacrifice everything material
for the sake OF those she loves"

Governor Matthews is telling good
story he heard in the South recently,
saws The Indiar apolis Journal. In
valley in the northern part Of Georgia,
between two mountains. which shut out
all communication with the outside
world there lived an old planter who,
while an ardent sdherent Of the South
ern cause, was too badly crippled by
infirmities to shoulder musket and
march barefooted But he had a son
whom he sent. and after the boy had
disappeared down the road the old man
waited for the news Of the strife. occa-
sionally rumors OF Southern victories
would float over the mountains and the
old man-Uncle S., he was called
would rejoice and take an unusually
large dose Of mint tulep. At other times,
when reverse news came and 1t was re-
ported that the gray had been turned
back. the old man would bitterly Ia
ment and use the same remedy for grief
and sorrow that he used to quiet his
Joy. Through Il all he had abundant
faith In the ultimate victory Of the con-
federate army, and any doubt expr ressed
would meet with a stern rebuke.
The years wore on and news failed 70
arrive. The valley was deserted and
there was no one 70 learn the course OF
events. The old man smoked his pipe
and waited impauently for news. One
morning as he sat ON the front porch.
with his pipe, far down the dusty road
appeared the form Of a solitary pedes-
trian. Gradually he approached and
the feeble vision Of the aged planter
recognized his long-absent SON. The
puffs from the pipe came thick and fAst.
but this was only the sign OF eagerness
or nervousness displayed. The gate
swung open and the soldier walked up
and sat down on the steps.
"Mornin', Jim," said the old man.
"Mornin', pap" was the quiet re-
sponse.
"Shot?"
Mop"
"Sick7"
Mop"
The old man reached behind him Tor
q stout club, which he used as cane.
"Jim,' he said, nervously; Jim, ys
didn't desertT'
NO; we're whipped
"What?"
Yes, we're whipped. Lee has sun
rendered with his army and we all Saio
down our guns"
The old man jabbed with his cane al
fly for minute, and then, looking up
with troubled expression, asked;
Jim, how'd it happenY
Well, pap, we all fit our best an
we guv 'em b. as long as it was an
even shake, but We all found out al
the Lord wus a Yank an IL was nc
use. We laid down our guns an cum

A Rare BIRD.

The rarest species Of bird now extAnt.
and one which is almost extinct, has
its home in the jungles Of South Amer
ica This pathological curiosity is
known to science as the palamedra cor
nuda, and to the common people as the
horned screamer" As a rara avis
nothing could excel the cornuda, unless
It should be the accidental discovery OF
a living moa, or an epinornis. But few
OF the bird books even let you know
that such a horned paradox ever ex-
listed, let alone telling you that living
specimens Of the queer creature are oe-
casionAlly met with. The only one now
in captivity in North America, If the
writer was not misinformed, is that be-
longing to the ayiary Of the Philadel-
phia Geological gardens, and which ar
rived in this country about three years
ago. The creature is about the size OF
q full grown turkey hen, and Of a black
ish brown color. One of it's distin-
guished peculiarities is a ruf1e Of black
and white which surrounds the head.
