Tho first wifo Iiim no right to oppose- licr husband's marryinit a .second, third and fourth time. I In is not com pelled to oven ask hor opinion about tho matter. Ho Is freo in tho promises, so long ns ho tloea not exceed four wive?. Tho only Instnnco whero tho consent of tho wifo Is required Is In case tho husband wants to marry a cousin or an aunt of hers. She may oppose and prevent Buoh an alliance, If ho Insist, in snitn of tier onnositlon, ho must repudiato tho wifo and pay her dower. This sometimes is a vcry'difli cult thing to do. Tho dower is obligatory, though it is not necessary that it should bo a part of tho contract. Its amount, is tixcd by agreement. As a rulo it vanes It .1 1 . f ouixmiiug 10 uie social condition ui iuu woman. Thus, in caso no dower lias been allowed, as often liannens. tho judgo fixes it under tho law; and nltlioimli tlio law lias Bxod somo limits to it, still it w left to tlio discretion of tho judge Ho may mako it sufficient for tho kind of Itvinc to which tho woman has boon accustomed. In making tho dower obligatory, tho codo has in view principally a pro vision for tho repudiated wifo. Tho oodo means that slio shall havo a de cent support for tho period of time sho is forbidden to marry. This period is six months. Dower is attended also ns a shield against too frequent repudi- atlons. It happens often that though tho husband is desirous of repudiating his wifo ho finds it impossible to pay her dower; so ho abstains from renudi- atinc her. Tho law fixes tho dower to fivo hundred drains of silver, or sixty- hvo ounces of silver. This is but a m tho ordinary American railway, al pittanco now-a-davs: lint was fixed bv though tho averaco charoo is thirty, tho prophet. This is tho amount which ho ncccssed for his own wives, It must havo been adequato for tho fow necessities required by a woman aniontr tho Arab tribes at Mecca and Medina thirteen hundred years ago. Besides, it was hxed at an epoch when silver human mo, whioh as part ot our rnu was scarcer than it is now, and before way history has astonished foreigners, bonanzas of tho whito metal had is elsewhere unknown. leaped out of tho sunless temples of tho earth. Moreover, anything which is oapablo of being legally acquired may be made in payment of dower, except wino and hogsl Ono of tbo odd forms of dower is tho teachinc of a chapter of tho Koran by tho husband to tbo wife. It whero to begin or whero to end an ac is a pious, though pecuniary equiva- count of abuses, as they are so numer lont I Dower also may bo a slave, or us aid momentous. Equally difli- a house, or any tinner of value. If tho husband is not ablo to furnish them he 13 liaolo lor their value. Tho dower may also bo agreed upon after tho mar- riace.- Tho wifo may oxoncrato tho husband from the dower, or sho may commuto it for something else. She becomes tho nroDrietor of tho dower, and may legally dispose of it; but should tho husband divorce her boforo tho raarriago is consumated, tho half of it reverts to him. Should sho forgive him that which belongs to her, tho whole would be bis. if a slave bo as- signed as dower, and sho should cman cipate tho slave, and she is divorced boforo tho consumation of the marri age, sho is liable for half the valuo of the slave. In caso of dispute with re gard to the amount of tho dower, the word of tbo husband is preferred nntu the contrary is proved; whereas, if he acknowledges tbo amount stated as the dower, and alleges its delivery, but fails to prove it, credit is given to tho world and oath ot the woman. Tho code provides as to tho time to be devoted by the husband to each ono ot bis wives, in case be has more than one. This rulo of law has its imitia. tive in tho organic law that each man has a right to four wives, and that a man has tho absolute disposal of all tho hours of the day for himself. Tho law allows no right to tho wife to claim the attention of her husband during tho daytime. It creates an ob ligation upon tho husband to divide tho rest of his timo equally between his wives, or at least he is not bound ,to make his count, or to be with ono wifo raoro than enco in every four days, and this whether ho has ono wifo or more. If among the wives there is a siave, sne nas tho right only to re ceive half tho timo alloted to the freo wiie. this docs not include slaves or odalisques who are not lawfully mar ried. Tho temporary marriages beinc ad- mitted only by tho Sheeabs, and these temporary contracts not being under general Mohammedan law, it may snf- 11 oo to stato that such marriages can be legajly made for ono month or ono year. Thoy aro allowed by tho- reli gious rules of that sect. Alio harshness ot tbo marriage cor tract toward the women of tho Moham raedan countries is grcotly exaggerat- cd, if not entirely fanciful. Marriage is, as wo havo said, a civil contrast. It is liko, and yet not unlike, tho contract in England and America. It gives uo preference or right to citberof tno con trading parties over tlio pioperty ot tho other party. Tho wifo retains her power of disposing of her estate. Sho can bo sued or suo. In suing, sho has no need of a 'next friend, or trustee. mill.'1 or tniMiro Sho may summon her own husband in to court. Nor is ho liable for any debts of her contracting. He docs not vulgarly, as was once tho custom in America, advertiso her absonco from bed or board to avoid tho payment of her debts. True, ho must maintain her and pay her dower, as we havo stated, m case of separation. do that, in many respects, if western nations may not loarn something of utility nnd equity from tho iHohammo- wail tuuu in iuu uiiiiicr oi niairr.mt.-f. u thoy may at loast refuso to credit tho auu uniounucu Biaicmenis mat tho woman of tho East is a slavo to nor nusDand, and compelled to servo him, as. if ho had tho ring of tho Ara bian story, upon whioh'tbo genu were accustomed to wait.

Ask him about it, for ho fully guarantees it. Evils in American Railway Methods. A recent article in Jlarper't Maga sine on "Knallsh and American Rail way," as seen from tho standpoint of tho traveller, was a revelation to largo numbers. Our railways havo so long sung their own praises, aid a subservi ent press has so readily rcchocd theso boastful strains, that wo havo been do luded into tho belief that wo possessed tho fastest trains, the finest passenger coacnei, tho largest supply of convo tilcnccs, tho grandest stations, and tho cheapest rates to bo found In tho world Now it ought not to bo necessary to say that tho reason why ono rejoices to sco tho publication ot an artieli signed to dispel such Illusions is article tie- not that ono likes to sco tho Institutions of one's own country decried. No; tho reason Is the hopo that an Insight into tho actual condition of things may lead to an improvement In theso insti- I uuiuuo. a residence oi sovcrai years 10 J.u ropo leads mo to tho belief that tho au thor of that artioio has given oven too lavorauio a view ot our railways as compared Willi iMiroic.iti railways, The reader will find it an interesting and prohtaulo pastime to coniparo tho railway tiruo tables of fifteen or twenty typical American railways with tho timo tables of as many European rail ways. Ho will then obtain somo idea of tho Blow average rato of travel with us. Other features of our railways do not faro better in the comparison. Our stations aro inconvenient and ugly, sometimes oven iiitiiy. uur cars arc uncomfortable, and it is difficult to sco how one who has lived long enough in Germany to become accustomed to her institutions should not prefer second- class travel in that country to first-class forty, and occasionally oven nioro than fifty per centum lower. A still nioro important clement is tho satety ot travel, and it can be said without foar of successful contradic lion that tho reckless prodigality of Hut tho chief ovils of American railways appear when wo como to treat of them as performing economic services in tho transportation of goods, and when wo view railway property as an important clement in our national resources. It is then difficult to tell u't is it to find language in which to portray the sober scientific truth in re. gara to inese anuses, ior their enor- niity is such as almost to bafllo descrip tion. Tho present articlo will treat of a fw points selected out of tho vast number which present themselves, ei ther because thoy havo not generally received satisfactory treatment hither- tojor becan3o they aro specially weighty 1,1 a consideration of railways from an economic point of view. Theso points nl waste ot national resources in the railway world, tho evils in tho manner in which railway shares aro bought and sold for speculative, or per- naps more properly gambling, pur poses, and finally tho oreat injury to wt uuiiuiuiu iuu uv uisunmiiiuMUUtf ill railway charges. . . . My thesis is this: the needless waste ot railway competition has been sufflo lent to provido cood, comfortable homes a whole houso to a family for that part of tho entire population of uio united States not already pro yided with such homes. 1 ho first item in tho count is needless expenditure in railway construction. .mis nas nas been estimated at ono thousand millions of dollars, and it is certainly a low estimate, for two need less railways, tho West Slioro and tho Nickel Plate, alouo acoount for one- filth of this sum. It must be born in mind that needless expendittuo is waste of national resources whicli ought to .have benefited the people. This is very simple, yet it is often nu cessary to repeat it. Now, .ono thous and millions of dollars is a sum sullic ient to build homes for ono million families, or fivo million people. second, every needless train is a waste, and parallel- and comnetincr roads necessitate a vast number of them daily. ihird, our railways havo not been planned according to any intellitrent scheme, so that they should becomo part ot ono grand system of means of communication and transportation, sup plementing our natural and artificial waterways and other hichwavs. On tho contrary, they wero often designed In !l,..n - 1 I.,- l- , , iujuiu uluui gjuuiiu mgiiways, anu ana sua managed with that view. Railways run along by the side of ca naia, aim unvo mem out o: existence. At times thoy buy tho canal and stop using it, lest it should longer reudei aly Borvico to anybody. Tho llioh- mond and Alloghauy Railroad of Vir- g'ma is an.example. Hero is a great waste oi resources expended in canals, Railways prevent tho uso of natural waterways. Thus tho Pennsylvania Railroad and the Pacific railways dis- criminate agaiust thoso who uso tho Criminate atrainst tliosri ul in nan tlin Ulno River nnd tho Atlontio and Pa uuu oceans respectively. Theso are examples of a waste of naturo'B bounty. freight rates nro often so much cheaper between compoting points thau from an intermediate point that freight frequently passes twico over tno samo track a waste of labor and capital. Freight is thus sent from Pittsburch to Philadelnlii.i nnd Tur York, and then right back through itusuurmi to a western nnmr. an no to get tho competition rato from ono of tno largo cities. Freight has likewiso been sent from Rochester. N. Y.. to New York city, then back again over tno Harao tracks through Rochester to tho West. Last Winter freight was sent from Baltimore to New York, then back through Baltimore to the West. Theso examples might bo multiplied indefinitely. Another variety of wasto Is l lustra- tcd by tho anthracite coal combination, which Btops production at intcrvlils in order to maintain high prices. Capital power and labor power meantime re main idlo, and other industrics'aro in jured. But why continuo this, as ono easily might t ft is impossible to ex press with mathematically accuracy all this enormous wasto of national re sources, but no ono will bo likely to ,i.. t t i & ii? wUw?

Vanity rules tho fools, and of ton makes simpletons of thoso who know bettor. Washington as an Iatollootual Capital, America has hitherto had no social and intellectual capital city. Boston, with all its culture, is not national but local, and tho severity ot its ' cllmato must always bo n drawback from its attractions. Now York is commercial, and to a oreat extent migratory, pcoplo coming hero to mako fortunes and go ing thoro to enjoy them, though thoro Is not a littlo of good and sottlcd society. Philadelphia and lialtimoro aro very pleasant places of - residences, as well ns magnificent oitles, but neither of them has any metropolitan preten sions ; still less havo tho great cities of tho West. "Washington, howovor, bids lair to fill tho part. In tho courso of tho past twonty years a wonderful chango has como over tho city on tho Potomao. It used to bo nothing but tho meeting placo of Congress, but now It'is becoming favorite placo of rcsidcnco for pcopl unconnected with politics or tho ad ministration, and n correspond!)! chango has taken placo in its outward appoaranco. It is blossoming out to a gay nnd beautiful city. On tlio northwest of tlio Whito House, nnd far from tho Capitol with its politics, has grown up a now quarter of houses tlie better class, rising, many of them to tho dignity of mansions, with broad streets, avenues, open places ornament ed with statues, abundance of foliaco and verduro. I know nothing more beautiful in its way on the continent except, perhaps, Euclid avenue Cleveland, though Boston is now very beautilul city. And this new quarter has apparently becomo tl dwelling place of a varied cultivated and thorouirhlv catholio societv. whioh seemed likely to draw to itself much of that which is choicest in tho United Stotes. "Mr. Bancroft, tho Nestor i American literature, is already thci There also Mr. Blaino writes his most important and instructive history. Tho Smithsonian presents a nucleus Bcicnce. A flavor of cosmopolitanism is imparted by tho embassies. Politics of courso aro theie, and they add to tho interest. JSut they do not seem mo to predominate. It is fully likely that society will exercise influence on politics ns that politics will dominate society, and if this happens it will be a great gain. The politicians of tho Democratic continent being what they aro, it is a great nns tako to mow them up by themselves in second-rate cities or towns such as Albany, Ilarrisburg, Springfield and Ottawa, apart from all tempering and refining influences, to cabal and wranglo lor two or three months in every year. Tho chango in tho character of tho capital is likely, therefore, to bo a sub Btanlial benefit to tho United States. Alone among other great American cities Washington is uncommercial. All tho rest bavo their business quarters in which tho steps ot tho throng aro as hurried and its faces as keen and eager as in tho East of Loudon. Tho placo is uncommercial everywhere ex cept at Washington, whero ono finds something liko tho free, leisurely and al fresco life of Paris. This attraction cannot fail to be felt by literary men and by all who seek to enioy life. Goldivin Smith.

It is not our intention to enter into an argument upon this subject, but to simply stato what wo regard as facts, gathered from reliable sources. In the first placo the number or hogs in Illi nois is below that of last year. The report made by the stato board of agri- cuituro says. "In less than one-sixth of tho counties is tho number as largo as in may, lays, in tho remaining conn ties a decrease of from 5 to 40 per cent is reported in the number of hogs as compared to corresponding dale last season." ho much for tho supply in Illinois. In tho states west of us,' the cholera collected a heavy tribute from tho herds. 1 ho scare, caused bv tho disease,led every owner of a merchant able pig to got samo ready for market. Estimates from reliable sources put tho present number ot hoes west of tho Mississippi at less than threo-fourths of what thero wero 12 months since. un many farms in this nnd tho states west of us, whero cholera appealed last ecason, the larracr is not keeping or breeding any hogs this season, in hopes that he may tho better freo tho farm of the disease. For theso rea Bons tho cloud now overhanging the hog business is not without a silver lining. If the prico of hogs is regu Iated by law of supply and demand then tho outlook for paying prices is more hopeful than it was a year ago. aim to savo and raiso good hogs is about ns promising as any branch ol farm business. j. 11. fiercer wishes to mako an assertion, wmeii no can back with n positivo guarantee It is all about Acker s Blood Elixir.

A nowly-converted reporter thus notices a minstrel troupo : "For thoso who do not consider it a sin to witness minstrel shows this entertainment will furnish a pleasant relaxation from re vival meetings." Tho luxury of strawberries and cream was not always known to tho world. As an interesting fact of tho Beason it may bo mentioned that iu ir09 Caidinal Wolslov first combined strawberries with cream. 'This is a handsome watch you aro wearing." "Yes : I flatter myself it is rather neat." "Rather costly, eh ?" "Costly ? I should sav it was."
