More than a quarter of a century apo
Mr. Gladstone aaitl the divorce law in

and humanity.
Thc ladies, therefore, who suppose
that these laws and traditions and cer
emonial vows rest upon a Divine .sanc

ons to wear the yoke of unquestioning 1
Mibjugation, not of choice, but as a re
ligioua duty, need bend no longer for
that reason. If they prefer to obey,
indeed, they are not restrained by any
r-Iigious obligation, nor if they pre

at this point the youthful casuist of the

have generally said. and their views have '
generally prevailed. But the general
t prevalence of ignorance was not a
I sound argument against the introduc
tion of general education, and in the
republic of reason and matrimony the
jrencral aent of husbands can not con-
elude the rights of wives.
In a matrimonial difference some
one must decide. Granted: and what
should determine the decision? i'lam
ly. the right of the case. Now a wife
is quite as likely upon the whole, in
deed, more likely to be right upon a
i family question than the husband.
Still, says the casuist, he must decide,

reason disappears when the woman is
the bread-winner, and. in that case, it
lis plainly not as a man that thc hus
iband must decide, which ends the
xerelv masculine pretension. The
JLHther reason, that he can enforce his
till, it? appucaoie to tne control 01 a
rute or of a slave, but is it applicable

British Usage also permitted the sale
of the wife by the husband, a logical
deduction from the theory of the right

to him. If he could not tiirht for the

paint a picture of it- l're-ident. who
occupied a hallowed place in the
ai list's heart. But a realization of his
fancy w.is not so easy. In vain he
personally applied at the White Hoiis
to nrranpe for a sktinp" with Mr.
Lincoln. He could not even petto -ee
him. But he continued to ro. One
dav he met Mr. Lincoln on th" stree.
He approached and introduced himself
in ver broken Knplish. ib told how
he. an alien, had tried to li;ht for tills
country, had been rejected, and what
he desired to do to leave somethiup a
a momeiiio to tlie -tranpe land he
loved so well. Thouph he probably
did not uiidcr-tand more than half
what the yfiunir arti-t said, the Presi
dent was impres-ed with hi- manli-
ncss and his earnestness. He pave
him an appointment for the bdbiwinp
day and kept it to the exclusion of
cverv thinp else. He sat for an hour
and told the atranper aeveral pood
stories not twenty words of which
Travis understood. A .subsequent sit-
