A London correspondent in Harper s

The Duchess of Edinburg does not

never quite forgave her for asserting her


precedency over the Princess Beatrice,


and she has certainly given proofs of a


naughty disposition. AS general rule,
our own royal family do not give them
selves airs, and this sort ofpersonal pride
Ia especially resented in foreigner. A
curious instance of it took place the

The proprietor of the place wished to
explain the merits of his plants, but the
path was narrow, and to press to her side

dangerous to his pots, and to precede
her, he was given to understand, would
have been lin Russia) to commit high

to the Russian Duchess was an insupera-
BILE barrier. She had never opened
door for herself in her life, and was not
going to begin in a nursery garden at
Chiswick. Her splendid attire blocked
up the path, so that to pass her was i'm
possible, and the whole party conse-
quently came to dead lock. The un-
happy proprietor was in despair. Then
the Duke came to his assistance She
won't open the door," said he; that is
quite out of the question. Do you run
round, open it for her and keep in front
of her. Walk backwards and never mind

stake my existence that if they were, the
Duke did not pay for them.

The expenses Of the family and the

which abolishes the "tyrant man and

The bill revising the law in relation
to husband and wife, which has passed
both houses and will undoubtedly be-
come law, provides that a married
woman. may in all cases sue and be
sued, without joining her husband with
her, to the same extent as if she were
unmarried; an attachment or judgment
may be enforced against her as if she
we're a single woman; if sued with her
husband she may defend for her own
right; if he neglects to defend she may
defend for him also, aud vice versa. In
short, she may enjoy all the luxuries o!
lawsuit on her own hook without the
consent or interference of the party who
used to be styled lcrd and master "
That phrase has lost its significance.
When married woman takes it into her
head to injure any one, the husband
will not be responsible unless he is a
party to the injury; the husband shall
not be liable for the debts Of the wife, so
when he gets a bill for " love of
dress, duck of bonnet. or per-
fectly splendid laundaulet," he can turn
it over to his better half and let her
come down with the stamps. This pro-
vision is intended to check extravaganza
on the part of ladies by compelling them
to share the hardships of paying bills.
Contracts and liabilities incurred by the
wife may be enforced against her the
same as if she was unmarried, but she
cannot enter into partnership business
with any other person without the hus-
bands consent, unless he be idiotic or
insane, or is in the penitentiary, or has
abandoned her, when she can do as she
pleases. The wife may receive, use and
possess her own earnings, and sue for
the same free from the interference of
the husband or his creditors. One can
not sue or recover compensation for
services performed for the other.


She can obtain, handle, manage, sell
aud convey property independent of
him. but they shall not convey property
TO each other without a conveyance in
writing, to be recorded in the same man
ner ss chattel mortgages. This is to
prevent them from making conveyance
to defraud other parties outside OF the
family. She may be sued for property
unlawfully obtained before marriage. If

A BULLET IN THE BRAIN.-The Gal


weston, Texas, News says:


The case of Mr.. Lawes, the gentle


man who was shot in the head, is rather
remarkable one. Although the bal
is imbedded about two inches in the
brain, Mr.. Lawes walks about his home
is the usual enjoyment of his mental fac.
ulties. The attending physician is Of
the opinion that the ball is incased by
this time, and, with prudence during the
summer months, no further danger need
be apprehended. Cases similar to the
one alluded to are recorded, in which
persons have lived with balls lodged in
the brain, while in some instances per-
sons have died from slight wounds of
the same character"


A most remarkable case of this kind
is reported in the surgeons reports dur
ing the late war. A young Norwegian
belonging to the Second Wisconsin Reg
iment was shot in the head at Bull Run.
de was taken as prisoner to Richmond,
when it was discovered that the bullet
had entered the side of the temple in a
slanting direction and had lodged in the
brain. The surgeons watched the case
with much interest, but the boy did not
appear to be seriously affected and after
some months was exchanged. He was
discharged and returned to his home in
Wisconsin and went to work on farm.
Not satisfied with this labor he again Of
fered himself as recruit, was accepted,
and again went into the army. In no
way did he appear Inconvenience by
the shot, save that on damp and ainy
nights while on guard duty he said that
his head felt dull. This feeling was not
enough to interfere with his duty. After
the war he went back to his farm and
now does as hard days work as any
man.

Returning from the store one night
with bundle of work, she felt hand
upon her arm, and rude voice said,

She tried to shake off the hand, but
he only held the firmer. Looking around
she saw no one near, for it was a quiet
street and but few people on it.


"Oh, you need not expect help, my
pretty dear, you cannot escape me"
Hardly had the words left his mouth,
when stinging blow on the ear knocked
him senseless on the pavement.


Turning to thank her deliverer, the
words Gerald Mabel dropped stimuli

Mabel's humble home. Judge Warning

A bee raiser in New England is
said to have patented an invention
for the protection of bees from the at
tacks of the honey moth, which en-.
ters the hives at night aud rifles the
stores. The idea arose out of his ia.
miliarity with the daily routine not
of bees only, but of hens. Hens, be
observed, retired to rest early; bees
seek repose earlier still; no sooner
are they sunk in slumber than the
moth steals into their abode and de-
YOURS the produce of their toll He

g hen house above it. The bees first
betake themselves to their dwelling
and settle themselves for the night
The hens then come home to roost on
their perch, and, as they take their
place upon it, their weight sets some
simple mechanism to work, which at
once shuts down the doors of all the
hives. When the day dawns, how
ever, the hens leave their roost, and

by means Of a weight that a uniform and
equal amount Of power can be obtained, no
matter with what diversity the wind blows
the sails yielding to the pressure when it
becomes violent, and regaining their proper
position as soon as the wind decreases, the
arrangement being self-regulating.


We predict that Mr.. Smythe will be am
ply rewarded for his inventive industry as
soon as the public have chance to test the
merits Of this labor saving machine. -lSan

Such an invention might be used to very
great advantage in raising water from
streams for irigating purposes which
would do away with the heavy labor and
great cost of cutting canals and large
bitches. A reservoir could be constructed
near the stream, in which water would be
pumped whenever there was any wind
blowing sufficient to propel the sails, and
thus there would always be large supply
on hand, which could be tapped and dis
tributed over the land at will. In Western
Texas the farmers ought to have just such
pumps, so that they would not be ruined by
the drought. If they would pay little at
tentioT to machinery they might be placed
IN an independent position and always make
good paying crops.

Brigham Young, the prophet of the Lat

if the old leader of Mormonism was cut
loose from his moorings at Salt Lake and
drifted down south to St. George, and

right to a voice in the government that man
had. To give woman the right Of suffrage
would elevate suffrage in this country"


The Democrats opposed the amendment,
while they would not yield admiration
Of woman. They did not believe that
women themselves thought that their hap
piness or dignity would be advanced by
having all the political rights of man con
ferred upon them; tha. neither in England
or this country had women demanded such
rights. They denied that the Declaration
of Independence meant females as well as
males. Just before the vote was taken on
the amendment, Mr.. Bayard made the fol-
lowing pertinent remarks:


'tHe said 1t seemed hardly possible that
the Senate of the United States proposed
such change in the very fundamental prin-
ciples Of government. That's such change
as this should be blocked out as an expert
ment, in utter disregard of that decree by
which men and women were created, could
hardly be believed. The sexes were differ
ent, physically and mentally, yet here was
this poor, puny attempt, in disregard Of
every experience, enlightened as 1t had
been by Divine inteposition. Such legisla-
ton as this was irreverent, and in defiance
of the law of God himself. It would give
two heads to the family, and there would
no longer be that unity, that subordinatiOn
required by the Christian marriage" !"


The amendment was finally rejected by
vote Of yeas nineteen, nays twenty-seven.
But we have seen enough to know
that Radicalism win not stop until
the laws Of God and man are set aside and
a government of prejudice. passion and
lawlessness is set up, and vice enthroned as
the chief divinity. The Bible teaches us
that the man is the head of the family; that
women should learn in silence at home;
that they should not have voice even in
the church, thus keeping them aloof from
any dangers, morally or physically, by be-
ing rudely assailed for any interest in
meeting of members, and preserving them
with all OF their feminine graces and
charms, the purifiers of our homes and ele-
vators of the good, true and beautiful.
But Radicalism would plunge them into po-
litical gatherings and destroy their influence
forever.
