9Ph Physical Life of Woman. By George
II. Napheys, A. M., M. D. Published by
George Maclean, No. 719 Bannom Btreet.
This in a work by a physician of reputation
on the hygiene of woman, designed for popu
lar Hue, and introducing a variety of topics
not generally discussed outside of regular
scientific medical works. It is certain, how
ever, that many of the ills which humanity
is heir to are due to a want of proper know
ledge of such subjects, especially by the
women of the country. Works of this char
acter have fallen into deserved disrepute be
cause those who have attempted to discuss
the subjects attempted by Dr. Napheys have
mostly boon quacks and impostors, who wore
unworthy of the recognition of decent people
A properly written troatiso on the relations of
the sexes, however, can scarcely
fail to bo productive of incalculable
good to mnny who cannot understand the
technicul terms of the standard medical works,
and who are repelled, by a false modesty por
linpB, from even consulting with their physi
cians upon matters that every man and
woman ought to thoroughly understand. In
a book like the one before us, which is in
tended for general readers, it is necessary, of
course, that the subject shall bo treated with
as much delicacy as possible, without leaving
unsaid anything that the reader ought to
know. Dr. Napheys writes with dignity and
earnestness, and thore is not a chapter in his
book that mny not bo read with profit by per
sons of both sexes. Of course, such a work as
this is intended for men and women of mnturo
years, and it is not suitable to be left laying
about for the gratification of idle curiosity.
The author has been careful, however, to
write nothing that can possibly give oll'euso,
and ho convoys much sound instruction that,
if heeded by those to whom it is particularly
addressed, will save much suffering. Kef ore
venturing upon publication the author sub
mitted the work to the judgment of a number
of eminent divines and literary men, all of
whom commend it heartily. This was per
haps a necessary precaution, as there is a well
founded prejudice against most attempts at
popular writing on such subjects. Of
course a largo portion of the work is not
adapted for quotation in the columns of a
newspaper, but we consider the following ob
servations on divorce judicious, and we give
them as a specimen of Dr. Napheys' style:
"He of Nazareth laid down the law that whoever
puts away his wire for auy cause except adultery,
ami marries atxuln, commits adultery, and that
whatever woman puts away her husband for any
cause save adultery, and marries again, herself com
mits adultery.
"This has been found a hard 6ayln.
"John Milton wrote a book to allow that the Law
giver Old not mean what he said, but tioiiietiilng
quite dill'ereut. Modern sects, culling themselves
Christians, after tills Lawgiver, dodge the dlltlcuity,
and refer It to Statu Leislutureii. Mate Legislatures,
not troubling themselves ut nil about any previous
law or lawgiver, allow dozens of causes, scores of
thom, on perfectly valid to put asunder .those whom
Ood has Joined together.
"Hclence, whlcn never linns occasion to disagree
with that Lawgiver of Nazareth, here makes his
words her own.
"Whether we look ot It as a qnetlon ia social
life, In morals, or In physiology, the American plan
of granting avsoluto divorces is dangerous, ami de
structive to what is best In life. It leads to hasty,
Ill-assorted matches, to an unwillingness to yield to
each other's peculiarities, to a weakening of tho
family ties, to a lax morality. Curry It it trlilo far
ther than It now is In some States, and marriage
will lose all Its Bacredness. ami degenerate luto a
physical union not nobler than the crossing of tiles
in t he air.
"Reparation of bed and board should always be
provided for by law, and whether single, married, or
separated, the woman should retain entire control
of her own property. Hut in the eyes of God and
nature a woman or a man with two faithful (mouses
living, to each of whom an eternal lidelity has been
plighted, Is a monster.
"What has been said of divorce applies with ten
fold force to the cuBtom of a woman living as wife
to several men, or of a man as husband to several
women. We should not speak of these customs,
but that wo know both exist In this country, not
aruoi g the notoriously wicked, but among those who
claim to be peculiarly good the very elect of God.
They prevail, not as lustful excesses, but as religious
observances. Every reader of the daily press kuows
what sects we mean.
"It Is worth while to say that such practices lead
to physical degradation. The woman who acknow
ledges more than one husband is generally sterile ;
the man who has several wives has usually a weakly
otisprlng, principally males. Nature attempts to
check polygamy by reducing the number of females,
ana laumg in mm, uy enervating me wnoie stock.
The Mormons of Utah would soon sink luto a state
of Asiatic eilemlnacy were they left to themselves."
Amemcan Commercial Law. By Franklin
Chamberlin. Published by O. D. Case & Co.,
Hartford, Conn.
Any work that proposes to make every man
a lawyer will necessarily be a failure, for
law is a science as well as medicine, and it can
only be understood in all its details by those
who devote themselves specially to it. The
principles of law and the more usual legal
forms ought, however, to be included in every
system of education, and it is the more impor
tant that they should be generally understood
in a oountry like the United States, where
every citizen is frequently called upon to de
cide legal questions at the polls. If there
was a more general knowledge of legal prin
ciples, much expensive litigation might be
avoided and much annoyance to business
men and others who are called upon at times
to execute legal papers. A number of works
have been put before the publio for the pur
pose of giving the necessary instruction and
advice in these matters, and some of them are
highly meritorious and useful: others
fail by attempting and promising too
much, and by encouraging their readers to
rely upon their instructions in important
cases where a skillod lawyer ought to be con
sulted. The work before us is the most com
plete and satisfactory of any that have yet
been published with a view of supplying
plain and praotioal information on legal mat
ters. The author is a lawyer of high stand
ing, and, writing with a thorough knowledge
of all the details of his subject, he has suo
ceeded in making them perfectly plain and
understandable. It contains just the kind of
information that business men need in their
daily transactions, and the different heads are
classified in Buch a manner as to make them
easy of reference. The article on insurance
is very complete, plain, and explicit, and this
alone will give the work a high value with all
classes of insurors.

FERE HVACINTIIE.
The fnrrrr ot tin- Jrcnt French Dlviae.
Vnm the London Telegraph.
Although still ct tuparatively young, Tero
Hyacinthe stands' among tho chief pulpit
forces of tho Romish Church. Joining the
order of barefooted Carmelites, ho speedily
won distinction by his scholarship and his
culture, no less than by his extraordinary
power of speech. At an early ago he pro
mised to add a bright star to tho galaxy of
French pulpit eloquence. But, from the tiina
of his first utterances, ho was regarded with
suf-picious glances by leading dignitaries of
Rome, lie was hien to bo tainted with
Liberalism. His words had not that tone of
absolute submission to tho Holy See which is
now coveted by the most powerful among
the priests of Franc e. On Franco, almost ns
much ns on Ireland, tho Ultramontane pnrty
has laid its grasp. Much of tho power which
tho Jesuits have more than onco lost in that
country they have won back. Such dioceses
as that of Orleans aro ruled with a rod of iron,
in accordance with the dictates of tho Ultra
montane creed; and the prelates who repre
sent the old Liberalism of France inspire in
men like Bishop Dupanloup much tho same
hostility with which the extreme High Church
tlignitaries of England regard their extreme
Broad Church rivi.ls.
The Ultramontane party, however, havo
been forced to fight a hard battle with their
Liberal foes. They have had to contend
with a band of men to whom nature had given
extraordinary intellectual gifts, and whoso
piety it was imposs bio for the jealousy of
orthodoxy itself to impugn. Such men as
Lammenais, Licor.l-.iirc, and Montalembert
fancied that tLey could bridge over tho
chasm between the theological creed of the
fifteenth century and the political croed of
the nineteenth. In the encounter Lamme
nais was so utterly o verthrown by the mem
bers of his own Church, that he cut loose tho
ties which bound him, not only to Home, but
to revealed religion itself. Lacordairo died
while the strugglo w.is yet at its hottest, and
Montalembert's record has yet to be written.
To the same band of enthusiasts, although ho
occupies a less ex ,lted place, belongs tho
present Archbishop of Paris, Monsoigneur
Darboy. An ardent. Liberal as well as an
nrdeut Catholic, Monseigneur Darboy has
more than onco boon the object of Papal
suspicion, and has been forced to reaffirm
his devotion to tho Holy Sec. But his chief
offense was the admission of Pero Hyacinthe
to the Cathedral of Notre Dame. To that historic
church the intellect and tho religious fervor
of Paris flocked when attracted by such elo
quence as that of the barefooted Carmelite.
And the eager crowd was not disappointed.
Lettered and unlettered, academicians and
cpicierx, felt tho fascination of tho great
preacher. After tho great church had been
filled in every purt, a man of short stature
and singularly bright, prepossessing . face,
would ascend the pulpit and address tho ex
pectant multitude. His oratory was strikingly
natural. It was very much like tho best
speaking of tho forum transferred to the sanc
tuary, and made holy by the infusion of
sacred themes. It was tho revorso of eccle
siastical. About tl o Church the father did
not say much; about doctrines he said still
less; and about the clergy ho said little that
wus not a rebuke. On the other hand, he
made the aisles of Notre Dauio resound with
tho most uncompromising liberalism. In
words of burning eloquence he taught
men that they owed duties to each
other ns citizens, and that ns fathers
of families they were dowered with rights
which even the Chinch could not take away.
The claim of tho clergy to "direct" the con
science of the wife, and to set aside the autho
rity of the husband, was a pretension which
Pere Hyacinthe denounced with that pecu
liarly cutting, because personal eloquence,
which men can wield whou assailing tho mem
bers of their own order, ne asserted the
right of the husband to be supremo in his
own household, and the duty of the citizen
to obey the laws of his own country. Un
moved by the threats of Koine, he raised up
thnt old banner of French liberalism, on
which was inscribed devotion to tho family
and to the nation. Without directly assailing
the priestly pretensions of tho Ultramontane
party, he set forth doctrines which made those
pretensions null and void. Hence tho mon
of France listened to the French preacher
with undisguised rupture. A religious creed
which did not compel them to breuk oil" all
visible connection with Homo, and yet loft
them masters in their own households and
citizens of their own country, was the very
thing for which they pined. On tho
other hand, the Ultramontane party of
Pans were furious against tho dis
courses of tho Carmelite. All his elo
quent denunciations of the vices which
are preying on the life of Franco were power
less to still the fierce cry of heresy. The
preacner was assailed with that cry; and, at
last, even the courageous Archbishop of Paris
so far bent before the storm, that ho put an
end to tho series of Carmelite discourses, and
invited the chief rival of Pere Hyacinthe to
fill the pulpit of Notre Dame. The new
preacher, Pere Felix, strove hard to undo tho
mischief wrought by his gifted predecessor.
A Jesuit, and dowered with the graces of his
own most accomplished order, he lent all tho
riches o: his rhetono to vilify Protostiutism.
and to preach tho duty of uucompromising
submission to Holy Church, as represented
by its chief bishop. But the effort was in
vain. The echoes of Hyacinthe's eloquence

the words of calumny won over to tho sido of
his foes the chief dignitary of his order, who
iiaa bet ore encout tged the groat preacher
with loving words. In a letter to Hyacinthe

INTEREST 6 FER CENT. IN GOLD.
The Union Pacific Railroad has been In successful
operation since May 10, and It Is pronounced, by the
thousands who have passed over It, to be la all re
pects as safe and well built a any railroad In the.
country. By the Pullman Palace Cars the Journey Is
not only made without danger, but without ummial
fatigue. The fears that many have expressed In re
lation to the perils of the overland trip im removed
by experience, and the travel Is steidlly Increasing.
The earnings of the road since Its opening are
officially stated by the Company as follows:
From May 10 to May 81 3M,4'2018
" June 1 to June 30 VM,m-t9
" July 1 to July 81 623,659-90
Notwithstanding tho rates for pussngers aud
freight have been larg ly reduced, the earnings f. r
August will be at about tilt same avuiago. Tliey
will be published as soon as full returns are re
ceived. Tho earnings, as stated above, are at an
average of about
Eight f'lllicn Dollars a Year,
Which will be steadily augmented by the develop
ment of the ruellio Coast, by tettlotneiit along ttie
line, and by the nttural lucrease of traitlc.
The First Mongage Bonds of tlioCompmy amount
to 18,810,000, and the Interest liability to l,7'.'9,aiii),
gold, or about 2,33t,0S0 In currency. It will be no
ticed that tho present earnings provide an ample
fund for the payment of this Interest and leave a
large surplus. We are also satisfied that, at present
market ratcH, these bonds hto a very desirable In
vestment, and that they will advance In price as soon
as the facta concerning the business and condition
of the Company are generally understood
1 he Land Grant Bonds
To the amount of Ten Million Dollars, were issued
to obtain means to llnish the road, and are secured
by
A FIRST MORTGAGE
Upon the entire Land Grant of the Company,
amounting to 13,824,000 acres. Three million acres
of this land in the Platte Valley, In Nebraska, are ad
mitted to be equal to any in the West, Tho sates of
land were opened In Omaha July 2T, and 40,000 acres
were sold during a month thereafter, at au averago
price of over $5-00 per acre. While a part of the re
mainder of the land Is of little value for agricultural
purposes, there Is another part from which a coa
slderable sum will dc realized. The value of tho
Land Grant Is largely enhanced by the extensive coal
mines, which are now being worked for the supply of
the surrounding country, as well as for the railroad,
and by other valuable mineral deposits, especially of
copper.
THE LAND GRANT BONDS ARE RECEIVErjIn
payment for all the company's lands, at par, aud the
demand from actual settlers will give them a certain
market. They run twenty years and pay seven per
cent. Interest In currency.
Although tho Company have disposed of ill their
bonds, yet, as they are offered In market, tVj con
tinue to nil orders at the current rates.
We have no hesitation In recommondlng both the
First Mortgage and tho Land Grant Bonds as a very
valuable and perfectly safe Investment.
