Jennie June ventured some pungent crit-
cism on a curious case that was tried In a
New York court the other day. II appears
that young lady of eighteen married a
widower with grown daughters, reputed rich,
and according to his own statement, worth
property amounting to Sl50000. This prop
erty, just before his marriage, he surrepti-
tiously conveyed to his daughters, thus de-
priving his prospective wife of any right or
title to her share Of it. Discovering this
soon after her marriage, the young wife inn
medately sued for her right of dover, alleg-
ing fraud upon her and marriage under false
pretenses, he having pressed his claims on
his standing and his possessions, and she
having married an elderly man with fam
ily, as she frankly admits, because of his
money. The statement of the case created
agood deal of interest-the defendant admit
ting the principal charge, but rather lamely
declaring that he did it in consequence of
promise of his dead wife to provide for her
daughters in that way, in case he should
marry again. This statement had less weight,
however, since he seems to have carefully
avoided the mention of such promise dur
ing his courtship. The judge was puzzled
and reserved his decision, but the female
scribe shrugs her shoulders and declares that
had she been in the judges place she would
have granted the young wiles petition with
out much hesitation. The fact that the
mei old scamp conveyed the property
stealthily away, shows that he was perfectly
aware of what the girl was marrying him
for, and it also shows that it was all of him
worth marrying A girl is to be pitied who
marries for money, but she certainly deserves
| the poor dross for which she barters herself.

There can hardly be Q greater sign of prosperity in a communi- ty than disposition to help one another.-Lift little when your neighbours wheel gets stuck in the mud.

 We know of a place where a mans barn with his winters stores of grain and hay were consumed by fire in the night. Immidiately all the men on the country side mustered and hauled up timber for a new barn, and then a big raising came of. After that the sound of twenty or more hammers were heard until the whole was shingled and sided. But their deed of kindness was not done yet; one after another offered to take a head of his stock and win ter them for him, thus greatly re- ducing his loss and assuring his heart of the more durable riches of brotherly love and neighborly good will. No one can compute in money the value of one such example of noble liberality in a community, especially in its in huence upon the young.

 When this spirit prevails there is sure to be progress in a place even if all the improvements are in their infancy. People will come and settle in place which bears such good name. Now, if you desire to see your place growing popular, do what you can to show yourself a good neigh Dor, especially to those who need a little extra help.

 If a man starts a tin shop or a blacksmith shop in your place don't harness up and drive five miles to buy your pans and get your horses shod, just because you have been in the habit of doing it. Patronize the new conner when you want anything done in his line. Speak encouragingly to him and we'll of him to your neigh bors. Little words of approval ol censure go a long way, and when once you have spoken them you cannot call them back.

currency have nearly disappeared simply be-

stages of the campaign, is the only other one

secondary to that. The Republican chances
brighten. Carl Schurz is doing great service

ESPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD by CABLE


PARIS, Sept. 25, 1875
The Bonapartist Council, which met in
secret session at Arenenberg Switzerland,
at the chateau of the ex-Empress Eugene,
for the purpose of determining the future
policy of the party in view of the present
aspect of affairs in France and the growing
strength of the Republic has resulted in the
following party programme


THE PRINCE TO TAKE THE HELM


The first point decided is that the Prince
Imperial shall undertake in person the ex-
elusive direction of the imperialist policy.


EUGENE RESIGNS THE REGENCY.


The Empress, who is unpopular with
large section of the party ON account Of her
pronounced ultramontanism, has abdicated
the regency conferred upon her by the late
Emperor and leaves the young Prince to be
guided by counsels more in accord with the
prevailing sentiment Of the party.


RoUHER AGAIN VICE EMPEROR.


1t is settled that the Prince Imperial will
be guided wholly by M. Rouher, thus re-
storing to prominence in the party the sec
tion which steadtastly opposed all conces-
sions to the constitutional party and disap-
proved of the liberalizing policy of NJ. Emile
Olivier previous to the war of 1870.


THE EMPIRE TO BE DEspoTIc


Should the party succeed in restoring the
Empire this choice Of leader leaves no
doubt as to its character 1t will be despotic
in the full sense Of the term, and the coun-
Gil at Arenenberg has decided on the consti-
tuition of 1852, in all its rigor, as the one of
their choice.


PARLIAMENTARY POLICY


The policy agreed upon as best calculated
to advance the interests of the party in the
present Assembly is continuous demand
for q pl6biscite, which will, they think,
fiatter the masses by appearing to leave
the final decision as to the form of gov
ernment in the peoples hands.


CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION.


They will also demand revision of
the constitution, in accordance with arti-
Gle 8 of the constitution of February 2S.

So certain is this, that all the money paid for tickets will be promptly re. funded in case the drawing does not take place on that day. MT.
