| Notwithstanding the interruption in their walk the excellent babit which Mrs. Poysers clock had of taking time by the forelock, had secured their arrival at the | Village while it was still a quarter to two though almost every one who meant to go to church was already within the church- yard gaies. Those who stayed at home

| were chiefly mothers, like Timothy’s Bess,

who stood at her own door nursing her baby. and feeling as women feel in that position—that nothing else can be expected (of them

It was not entirely to see Thies Bede’s funeral that the people were standing about the church-yard so long before the services began, that was their common practice. The women, indeed, usually entered the church at once, and the farmers’ wives talked in an undertone te each other, over the tall pews, about their illness, and the total failure of the doctor’s stuff, recom- mending dandelion tea, and other home- made specifics as far preferable-—about the servants, and their growing exorbitarce as to wages, whereas the quality of their service declined from year to year,atid there was no girl nowadays to be trusted any farther than you could see her—about the bad price Mr. Dingall, the Treddleston grocer, was viving for butter, and the reasonable doubts that might be held as to his solvency, notwithstanding that Mrs. Dingall was a sensible women, and they were all sorry for her,for she had very good kin. Meantime the men lingered outside,and hardly any of them except the singers, who had a humming and fragmentary rehearsal to go through, entered the church until Mr. Irwine was in the desk. They saw no reason for that premature entrance what could they do in church, if they were there before the service began /—and they did not conceive that any power in the universe could take it ill if they stayed out and talked a little about ‘busines.’

Chad Cranage looks like quite a new acquaintance to-day, for he has get his clean Sunday face, which always makes his little grand-daughter cry at him as a stran- ger. Butan experienced eye would have fixed on him at once as the village black- smith, after seeing the humble deference with which the big, saucy fellow took off his hat and stroked his hair to the farmers; for Chad was accustomed to say that a workingman must hold a handle to a personage undersiood to be as black as he was himself on week days; by which evil- sounding rule of conduct he meant what was, after all, rather virtuous than vnwise, namely, that men who had horses to be

shod must be treated with respect. Chad and the rougher sert of workmen kept aloof from the grave under the

white thorn, where the burial was going forward ; but Sandy Jim, and several of the farm laborers, made a group round it, and stood with their bats off, as fellow- mourners with the mother and sons. Others held a midway position, sometimes watch- ing the group at the grave,sometimes listen- ing to the conversation of the farmers who stood in a knot near the church door, and were now joined by Martin Poyser, while his family passed into the church. Qn the outside of this knot stood Mr, Casson, the landlord of the Donnithorne Arms, in his most striking attitude—that is to say, with his forefinger of his right hand thrust between the buttons of his waistcoat, hia left hand in his breeches pocket, and his head very much on one side; looking, on the whole, like an actor who has only a monosyllabic part intrusted to him, but feels sure that the audience discern his fit- ness for the leading business ; curiously in contrast with old Jonathan Burge, who held his hands behind him, and leaned forward, coughing asthmaticailly, with an inward scorn of all knowingness that could not be turned into cash. The talk was in rather lower tone than usual to-day, hushed a little by the sound of Mr. Irwine’s voice reading the final prayers of the burial ser- vice. They had all had their word of pity for poor Thias, but now they had got upon the nearer subject of their own grievances against Satchell, the Squire's bailiff, who played the part of steward, so far as it was not performed by old Mr. Donnithorne | himself, for that geutleman had the mean- ‘ness to receive his own rents and make bar- jgains about his own timber. This subject lof conversation was an additional reason | for not being loud, since Satchell bhimeelf imight presently be waiking up the paved ‘road tothe church deor. And soon they | became suddenly silent; for Mr. Irwine’s |voice had ceased, and the group round the |white thorn was dispersing itself toward the church. They ali moved inside, and stood with their hats off, while Mr. Lrwine passed. ; Adam and Seth were coming next, with their mother between them; for Joshua ' Rann officiated as the head sexton as well | as clerk, and was not yet ready to follow \the Rector into the vestry. But there was a pause before the three mourners came on; Lisbeth had turned round to look again

toward the grave. Ah! there was nothing ‘now but the brown earth under the white |thorn. Yet she cried less to-day than she ‘had done any day since her husband’s | death, along with all her grief there was | mixed an unusual sense of her own import- | ance in having a ‘burial,’ and in Mr. ‘Irwine’s 1eiding a special service for her

husband; and besides, she knew the funeral

psalm was going to be sung for him. ‘She felt this counter excitement to her sorrow still more strongly as she walkea with her 'sons toward the church door, and saw the 'friendiy sympathetic nods of their fellow- | parishic nore.

The mother and sons passed into the church, and one by one the loiterers fo!le lowed, though some still lingered without; the sight of Mr. Donnithorne’s carriage, which was winding slowly up-hill, perhaps helping to make them feel that there was no need for haste.

But presently the sound of the bassoon

and the key-bugles burst forth: the evening hymn, which always opened the service,had beeun, and every one must now enter and tnke his plas 3

A Question of Divorce. AN INTERESTING JUDGMENT THE SUPREME COURT

KENDERED bY DIVORCES GRANTED

IN THE UNITED STATES VALID IN CANADA WHEN THE MARRIAGE IS CONTRACTED IN THE UNITED STATES

An important case, involving the question of whether a divorce obtained in the United States can be recognized in the Canadian courts of law, was decided by the Supreme Court, Oitawa, on the 12th inst. The case was that of Stevens vs. Fisk, an appeal from a decision of the Quebec Court of Queen's Bench. Virginia Gertrude Stevens and Henry Julius Fisk were married in New York in 1871. Miss Stevens was possessed of a fortune amount- ing to $220,775, inherited from her father. There was no auti nuptial contract, and under such circumstances the Jaws of the State of New York provide that no community of property is created by marriage, and the wite shall hold her property free from marital control. Miss Stevens fortune consisted of cash, bonds, and other moveable effects. After marriage Mrs. Fisk received her property from her trustees, and placed it in the hands of her husband, who administered it until! 1876, The respondent Fisk remained in New York for about eighteen months after his marriage, when he left for Montreal and commenced business as a merchant. He still resides there. His wife followed him and lived in Montreal for about a year, when for an alleged good cause she left him, and has since resided alternately in Paris and New York. Iu 1876 she de manded from Fisk a return of her securi ties, and received a portion of them. Sie then instituted proceedings for a divorce, and in 1880 obtained a decree absolute dissolving her marriage with the respon- dent on the ground of adultry, and in 1881 commenced an action in the Supreme Court at Montreal to reeover her property. Fisk filed a demurrer to this action, claiming that there never had been any dissolution of the marriage according to the laws of Canada. This demurrer was dismissed by Justice Rainville, who held that even if the parties were still husband and wife, the woman would still be entitled to sue for an account of her husbands administration of her private fortune. He also held that the divorce was valid, and maintained the action, but the Court of Queen’s Bench re- versed this judgment on the ground that a decree of divorce, granted by the Courts of New York, had no force in Quebec Pro- vince, and that therefore, the wife could not institute proceedings without authoriz-

ation. The case was then carried to the Supreme Court, which on the Is‘, reversed the judgment of the Court

of Queen’s Bench, and npheld the decision of Judge Rainville. In giving judg- ment, Chief Justice Ritchie said, the ques- tion to be decided was one of a most inter- esting as well as most diflicule points of international law, and he was fully im- pressed with the grave responsibility involved in the decision he was about to give. After careful study he had arrived at the conciusion that the appeal should be allowed and the judgement of the Superior Court maintained. The state of the law on the subject was extremely unsettled and there were few precedents bearing upon the case. The appeilant appeared to have obtained a valid divores which should be

recognized in the province of Quebec. Mr. Justice Strong dissented. He was of the

opinion that the matrimonial domicile of the parties was in the province of Quebee at the time the divorce was obtained, and that therefore the decree of the New York Court was invalid. The evidence showed that Mr. Fisk intended to become a per-

manent resident of the Province. He thought the judgment of the Queen's Bench Court ought to be confirmed. Mr

Justice Fournier said by the laws of Quebec Province a married woman, in all cases where there was no anti-nuptial contract, was endowed with absolute right to manage her own property without reference to her husband, and that no authority to bring this action was necessary. Dame Stevens has the same right as any unmarried woman to bring an action for revindication of her property. Justices Henry and Gwynne concurred, and the appeal was allowed with costs.

THE Marquis of Lorne presided at a meeting of the Loyal Colonial Institute, London, on the l4th inst. Addresses were delivered by the Right Hon. Lyon Playfair, member of Parliament, and Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian High Commissoner. A paper was read by Lieutenant General Sir John 4H | Lefroy in which he said that the visit of the British Association to Canada was a memor- able event in British colonial history, and

'that confederation for colonial defence was now one of the most urgent questions, ‘The | Marquis of Lorne maintained that the Cana- |dian Government was not wholly blameable for the demolition of Canadian forests which i belong not te the Federal Government out to the Governments of the Provinces. He said that the foundation of colleges like the Guelph institution had done much to make the pecpic of Canada cultivate the lands in a more scieu- tific manner.

| Supreme Judge Maguire, of the Supreme | Court of California decided on the loth | inst., in the case of Mamie Tape, a Chinese girl ten years of age, against Mrs. Jennie A. M. Harley, principal of a public schoo! in San Fraticisco, that Chinese children born in the United States, are entitled to admission to the public schools. The de

|cision is based on the fourteenth amend- ment, which secures equal privileges to a! persons born within the United States, sub- ject to their jurisdiction, and the State I

LAW which provides that all children shall have eq al facilities for education by means ot

‘public schools. The decision causes much surprise.
