SCOLDING WOMEN.
Formerly a Greater Pest in EngIana
Than at the Present Day.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Formerly the common scold" the we
man who made her neighbors' lives intoss
cradle with her raging temper, her bitter
tongue, her ISLANDERS and calumnies-was
found everywhere. Laws We're passed re-
cognlzing her as one kind of criminal
There were two forms of punishment
by which she was repressed or deferred,
or cowed into gentleness. viz, the duck
ing stool and the brant. The ducking
stool assumed various shapes, but it gen.
orally consisted of a chair on one end Of
a beam, which rested on a bar so as to
make a see-saw. Sometimes the chair
was hung from the beam by a chain
The culprit being tied on the chair, the
other end of the beam went up and tho
chair went down into the water, sousing
the woman completely. They did this
three times, after which they let her go.
Such stools belonged to nearly every
parish; like the stocks and the pillory,
they formed part of the furniture OF
justice. For instance, about London.
There was one on Bankside with which

sisted of a small cage formed by iron
hooks to tit the head, with a piece or

either led or carried about the town
Tor all the world to see. Sometimes she
was placed on high scaffold. The Drank
was used in some places down to the be-
ginning of the century. It's disuse, its
disappearance, the universal oblivion OF
the punishment, make one incline to the
belief that the scold has disappeared.
However, such is not the case. The dis
lists, but in much milder form. Tho
mildness of the modern form is mainly
due to the improved conditions of life.
Two hundred years ago the village

food was. bad; work was hard men
We're rough, husbands beat their wives

control of herself and became copiously

greatly improved. The husband no long

better shape than we would have hoped
for at the beginning of the campaign.
There are, to be sure" continued he. "a
few states in which fusion has not been
arranged, but there has been no failure
in any state where Mr.. Bryan's chances
could be imperiled by fusion
Mr.. Jones was also assured that there
need be no apprehension that Mr. Wat
son would do anything to imperil Mr.
Bryan's chances. His much discussed
letter of acceptance will not be given 10
the public. Senator Butler will not give
1t out, and it is understood that Mr.. Wat
son has agreed to withhold it.
Mr.. Watson's letter. said Mr.. Wash

speeches, and nothing could be gained
by its publication this late day"
1t was also stated that Mr.. Watson will
not participate further IN the campaign
