THE HOUSE JUSTLY CENSURED.

Dolawarean, May 22d.
The House of Representatives has re-
viyed the Acklan divorce bill. This
bill was indefinitely postponed by a
unanimous vote the same day it was
received from the Senate. and the
House afterwards voted down motion
to reconsider. 1t was reasonable to
hope, therefore, that the bill was abso-
lutely dead, but during the present
week the House voted to expunge from
the journal all reference to the former
defeats of this bill.
We regret very much that this bill
has been revived. We have already on
several. occasions attempted to state the
overwhelming reasons why this bill
should have met with a prompt and
summary defeat. We are not acquainted
with either the applicant for divorce or
her husband, and our only interest in
the matter is regard for the honor
and reputation of the Stats. In our
opinion the mere introduction of such
a bill was a reflection upon the State
and little less than an insult to the
members OF the Legislature. Its pas
sage by the Senate was matter Of
general surprise and regret. Its i'm
mediate and unanimous defeat by the
House was hailed by the people with
much pleasure. The action met with
public approval and won for the men,
bers of the House much praise.
The revival OF the bill, whatever may
have been the cause. is matter of re-
greet to the people Of the State. What
ever may be the ultimate fate OF the
measure, the action already taken is
likely to encourage others to come into
our State and seek divorce. We are
told that number of members who
voted to expunge the proceedings from
the Journal are opposed to the bill and
voted to expunge because they believed
the former proceedings had been
irregular and because OF the appeals
of the plaintiffs representatives for
bearing. We sincerely trust, for the
honor Of the State and for the repu-
tation of the members of the House,
that they are still opposed to this out
rageous measure. If so they should
lose no time in getting it properly be.
fore the House and defeating it.

The Society for tho Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children hopes TO increase
the interest OF the public by monthly
report OF the good work they are trying
to do. Their special agent reporting for
the month OF April 81 cases number
OF complaints, 20; Investigations, 20 I;
white children involved, 20; c0lored, Z.
len OF them were left with mothers, IL
With .parents; in private families and
relatives. Three were sent to Ferris

The action of this years. Legislature
making the appropriation OF 81. 200,
s6U0 OF which should have been paid
last year, tne treasurer showed graft
Tying balance in bank TO the credit OF
the society.
In view Of this situation it was the
unanimous wish OF the board to show
their appreciation of the services of
their special agent, Mr.. Stout. by in.
creasing his salary from $40 to $50
month. Invitations have been sent to
various persons whose membership il
was thought would increase the value
OF the society and seven persons have
recently been added.
Among the cases investigated during
April by the agent was ons on which

10 years OF aga had been placed by her
mother 10 the country near CentrevIlle.
Examination of the chiu showed her to

man and his wife arrested upon war
rants Issued, but the colored man On
the placed wae also arrested, he having
cut the switches with which the child
was whipped. When brought into town
by the agent the services OF a druggist
were required, as the child's Injuries
required medical treatment. The case
was tried before a squire and fine i'm
posed on the man and his wife, which
our agent thought too light sentence.
Another instance was child of years,
found performing on a trapeze. The
manager admitted that in at least three
acts 10 which she performed there was
great danger. yet in DO instance was
there net provided 10 case she had
fallen, as would have been done had the
performer been an older person. Not
only was her manager loatb to take the
child of the stage, but the father also
objected. saying that he had just spent
SIG for suit for her and where was he
to look for return. The law was clearly
ON the side of Mr.. Stout and he had the
child Withdrawn.

Speaking of the boy king OF Spain,
correspondent of the Congregational
list saws: "There are many points In
the court etiquette of Spain that make
it hard to be a boy king and harder
still to be the boy kings loving mother.
As he was born king little Alfonso
had to have q household of his own,
with his own suite of rooms. He cannot
even dine at the same table with his
mother, nor can she perform for him
those tender little offices that mothers
delight in and children find so comfort
ing. The little king has to go through
with tedious state receptions, which
weary him sadly and sometimes try his
childish patience beyond endurance
On at a grand church function the
baby sat upon his nurses knee, all
dressed in white, as patient as baby
could be. A bishop had been holding
forth for a good hour, and everybody
was doubtless waiting for him to close.
At last the little royal listener could
bear it no longer, for he is high
strung little man, and with glance OF
indignant despair in the direction OF
the talker, he clutched at his party
white hat and. cast it upon the floor.
When his mobiles were paying their
compliments to him on his second
birthday their king entertained himself
by jumping up and down the steps OF
his throne"

WOMEN PAINTERS OF PARIS.

Mile. Rosa BOnheur Won the First Salon
MedaI-Other Great Artists-
Mile. Rosa Bonheur's first Salon
medal, won in 1845, marked the open
ing of tho gates to verita BILE army OF
her countrywomen, says Munseys
Magazine. There are to-day in Paris
several hundred lady painters - not
mere amateurs or students, but artists
whose work is admitted to the Salons
and who carry off a respectable share
of the prizes offered there.
Henriette Brown and Nellie Jacque-
mart were among the earlier leaders;
Madeleine Lemaire, Berthe Delorme,
Nine. de Chatillon and Louise Abbema
are more widely known. Marie Bash
kirtseff made a precocious success few
wears ago, and her 'Meeting'-a clever
study of street boy life-was purchased
by the government for that goal OF the
Young French painters ambition, the
official collection in the Luxembourg
Mile. Bashkirtseff's death prematurely
ended a career whose possibilities were
nt least interesting.
1t is noteworthy that among the lead
ers of the artistic sisterhood OF Paris
are several women with whom painting
is onlv a pastime. A few years ago
Princess Mathilde took q medal at the
Salon; Baroness Nathaniel Rothschlld
has been a frequent exhibitor; Saran
Bernhardt has shown both pictures ana
sculptures which have attracted marked
attention and much praise, mingled
with q few ill-natured queries whether
the work was really the tragedienne S
own. It is an undoubted fact that she
has talent, and that she studied in earn
est with Alfred Stevens.

A novel piece of evidence was intro
duced recently in breach Of promise
case IN Bavaria. The defendant OBJ
stinately denied the charge, and stated
that his accuser had nothing to show
to prove her statement. The latter, .
buxom village maiden, asked one day
to be permitted to bring in her evil
dence. The court granted her request
and adjourned until ten o'clock the
next day. At the appointed time she
was on hand, and upon the query OF
the Judge where her evidence was, she
opened the door and four lumbermen
brought in a tree trunk, upon the bark
of which her faithless adorer had in
cised both their initials within fam
inc heart! She won her case.
