Major I'ickley was championing thu cause of the fair sex in eloquent words when a call was made for a vote , and the clerk proceeded to call the roll.

Bayard Taylor's dauchtcr is reported to be engaged to a young physician of the Univer sity ot Halle. Fifty-one marriacos were announced In one day recently In a Philadelphia paper. Those Quaker maidens are as puittlly iuoclc.it und demure asoiir Aunt Tabitlia's " cat , but they seem to "got there" just the same. A Missouri gill waved her hand at a stranger , and In three days they were mar ried. Two ( lays later the 3011115 lady waved a ilatiron at her husband , and the next even ing ho came home waving a divorce. What are the wild waves saying ? A territorial editor says in his naper : "Yesterday wo were again married. It will bo remembered that both of our former wives eloped with tlio ioreman of thu ofliue. To avoid any futiue lncou > enicnce nt the kind we have this time married u lady who is herself a compositor , and she will set the tyno while we hustle for the ducks who still ewe on subscriptions. " Dakota Hell. A young eastern farmer was engaged to bo married to a neighbor's handsome daughter , procured a license on the day set for the cere mony and proceeded to the residence of his atilanced. On arriving he learned to his astonishment that his intended had been married a few months bolorelo an old sweet heart. The happy groom had arrived Iroin the west that day , gone at once to tlio lady's residence , gained her consent , procured a license and married her , all wltnin the brief space of tlueo hours. An eastern man stands no clianco at all alongside of an energetic westerner. Some women are never contented. One of this kind has gone before a magistrate in England aud asked for a divorce on tlio ground that In forty years of her married life her husband had bltteu her every day , and thatsho was ready to swear to nearly 15,000 ot those love nips. A young woman of Detroit has refused thirty distinct offers , and prefers as yet the cold companionship of her quarter of a million of dollars. In Maryland a blooming widow of thirty has just buried her sixtli husband , and scores of eauer .suitors are yet willing to be immo lated on tlio altar ot her beauty. That while there Is life theie is nope li.is been demon strated by a Massachusetts maiden of seventy-two who got mairledlast week , and by a Chicago husband who got his seventh dlvoice while in seaich of the model wlte. Altogether , the matrimonial market is lively and strong , Hukmibliar , the native Indian lady , whoso wrorrgs aroused a general feeling of sym pathy in England and India , was married , accenting to Hindoo usage , at the age ot eleven to a youth some > eais her senior. She remained at her patents' housewas carefully educated and grew up , according to all ac counts , into a relined and highly educated Imly. Some elchtcen months ago she pub lished In "Tho Times of India , " under the noiu de plume of "A Hindoo Lady , " a scries of forcible and striking letters on the miseries entailed on her sex In India by the barbarous customs of intant marriage and enforced widowhood. Last year her hus band tried to iet her to live with him , and on her refusing lie Instituted a suit for the restitution of conjugal rights in the Hombay high court. Tlio case was tried , and it bav in. been proved that the husband was too poor to support her , was utterly ignorant and uneducated in fact , a mere coolie , the judge expressed the opinion tli.it It would bo a bar barous , cruel and revolting thing to compel her to llv. ! with Mich a man. He fur ther held that such a suit could not lie under Hindoo lixw and dismissed It. The husband appealed , and the chief justice and a judge ruled that tlm tlrst judge was wroivf In law anct nnt tlio case back to the lower courts in be tried ou its rneiiu. On this tiki It was urged as before that the woman had never consented to the marriage , and Imd never regarded tlio man as her husband ; that he was poor , Ignorant and unhealthy : and that If ordered to return to him she should be forced to disc boy mid take the consequence quence * , bho was ordered to join her hus band within a month or undergo six mouths' Imprisonment. Tlio case lias excited much sympathy among the Anglo-Indian com munity. The Kngliih newspapers are pub lishing lettet * nud nrtlc'e. ' * on the subject , and stops nre being taken in Hombay to raise a fund In her behalf. Among the native community , however , hardly'a single voice , except that of Mr. Malavuri , a Parsee gentle man , lias been raised in let favor , and the so-called reformers vrho agitate loudly for representative Institutions etc. , say no woid for the alteration of the cruel Jaw which the Uombny court has been reluctantly compelled tocnloice.
