|this Provinee to the laws now in force in Great Britain, the United States, and the
\to the right of married women to acquire ‘and hold property: and, with the object of |ventilating some of the hardships which married women suffer because of our laws being behind the rest of the civilized world, I would relate a circumstance under my knowledge, in relation to a married woman of my acquaintance.
Her father being poor and notsatisfied with his prespects in England, emigrated to this Island about the year 1819, and settled on a small green wood farm of fifty acres, and after many years of patient industry, and econoiny, succeeded in accumulating some money, and having reached the age of over three score years and ten, having the re- spect and esteem of his neighbors and ac- quaintances, departed this life, having pre- viously made a will, dividing his property among his children, leaving a small legacy to the married woman referred to abeve, she having been married some years before his death.
The poor woman entrusted her small legacy to a legal firm in Charlottetown, being induced thereto from the considera- tion that the firm was very wealthy, and had acted as legal advisers for her husband for a number of years, and been paid many hundreds of dollars therefor, and her husband had assisted in electing the senior member of the firm to the Dominion Par- liament; and the poor woman herself had entertained the senior member at her house in the country during his canvass through the county, as well as her circumstances would permit, she having had the promise of the firm before entrusting it to their care that the legacy should be sacredly held for her use and support, the senior member of the firm even having been employed to draw the will of her father, through which she inherited the legacy.
But what is the result? Wer husband being in financial difficulties, the legal firm purchase claims against her husband and when the poor woman wanting sorhe money to support her children applied to the legal firm for her legacy, the reply is, we have purchased a judgment against your husband and intend to hold your legacy to pay said judgment.
Now, however repugnant this action may be to the feelings of confidence and honor that many think should prevail between members of the legal profession and their clients, the married woman has no redress as our laws do noi permit her to hold property in her own name or maintain any action at law to protect her property.
This circumstance is a strong argument to my mind why our laws should be made to conform to the laws of other enlightened countries on the subject, although no law that is now passed can give back to the poor woman her legacy which she entrusted to the ‘firm above mentioned. Still if she was protected and allowed to enjoy what she may earn or make in the future through her own exertions, I think it would be a move in the right direction.
One of the acknowledged results of the introduction of christianity into the world is the improvement of the condition of women, and ip those countries where the Gospel has not been introduced, the women are in a very degraded state, and in pro- portion as christianity and civilization prevril, the relative position of the women are improved, and in those countries being the highest in the scale of civilization and enlightenment as in England, the New England States and the Province of Ontario, the women have the greatest rights and liberties.
PROGRESS.
Imperial Politics. PARNELL PROPOGATES A STARTLING PRO- GRAMME— PROGRESS OF THE FRANCHISE BILL—CHAMBERKLAINS S SPEECH.
Mr. Gladstone’s health has somewhat im- proved, but it is not expected that his physician will permit him much work for some time. The debate on the franchise bill at no time during the week reached a very high level, even Mr. Bright failing to make his usual impression on the House. The Tories devote their strength, as expected, to protests against enlarging the franchise without knowing how the Government intend tc manipulate the con- stituencies. Most cof their speeches are more plaintive than argumedtative. Lord Hartiugton’s speech n closing the first night’s debate, wanted ‘ire, but sufficiently startled the House by intimating that the cabinet agreed with Mr. Gladstone's gen- eral views of redistribution, and especially on maintaining the present number of Irish members. Chamberlain on Tharsday sup- plied animation which before had been wanting, to the discussion, making an effec- tive and aggressive speech. It exasperated the tories,but was disfigured by outburst of animosity against landlords, affording a plausible pretext for establishing a damag- ing comparison between Mr. Chamberlain, Cabinet Minister, and Henry George, agi- tator. The prospects of the reform bill remain unaffected by the debate. Obstruc- tion raises its head, as usual, in the person of Lord Randolph Churchill, who succeeded in wasting Tuesday by a rambling talk on Egypt. More ominious is Parnell’s latest
‘ist organ in Dublin, retracting the former | declaration of his willingness to leave his Irish colleagues a certain degree of freedom. |
that came!
,denia's professing to be authoritative did jannounce at the Lord Mayor's dinner on
my e . ° ° . ° ° ; * ° ° Cabinet | other Provinces of this Dominion, in regard | Wednesday, his resolve to force a dissolu-
ition of the Commons by rejecting the fran- chise bill in the House of Lords, regardless of the strength of the majority by which it might pass the Commons. The govern- ment defeat on Pell’s (conservative) motion protesting against further delay in measures for the relief of local taxation, has no political significance. The Parnellities voted with the tories, as usual, when there is a chance to embarris the government.
The Standard doubts whether Mr. Glad- stone will much ionger be able to support the menta! friction inseparable from his present position. Parnell expects his party to carry seventy-five seats at the next gen- eral election. The candidates will be re- quired to give a pledge that they will sit, act and vote with the party, or resign, The Orangemen and Liberals of Ulster are nego- tiating with a view to a division of seats in Parliament at the next general election, to prevent the election of Parneliites. At a private political banquet the Marquis of Salisbury announced that the peers had defi- nitely decided to reject the bill for the ex- tension of the franchise. The failure of the great panacea upon which the Government had relied to gild the pills which their criminal blundering was forcing down the nation’s threat would doubtless lead to a dissolution of Parliament, and this was precisely what the House of Lords intended to bring about. The country, they believed, was not only heartily tired, but thoroughly disgusted with liberalism, as wou!d be overwhelmingly shown at the general election, Writs for an_ election, he said, would be issued with all possible speed, so as to have, as soon as possible, a House of Commons fresh from the people. Such a house,he believed, would insist upon just and consistent treatment of foreign affairs, such as would restore the prestige of the British arms and British diplomacy so nobly won by former administrations, but so sorely imperilled by the present one. During a recent speech Chamberlain declared it was the fixed and the wnani- mous intention of the Government to in- clade Ireland in the Bill. If the Lords re- ject the Bill, he said, let the nation decide between them and the Government. He had no fear of the retult. In a recent speech on the Egyptian policy of the Government, Lord Randolph Churchill said:
‘The liberals had wallowed in a stifling morass of the most degraded and gervile worship of the prane nminister;’ they had ‘sunk below the level of slaves;’ had ‘be- come puppets, the objects of derision and contempt,’ and had ‘lost all claim to the rational human beings.’ He exhorted his audience to ‘dash from his pride of place the evil end moonstruck minister.’ He spolge of Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues as ‘men who have on their souls the blood of the massacre of aiwand, the blood of the massacre of Laing’s Nek, the blood of Sir George Colley, the blood of Lord FrederickCavandish and Mr. Burke, of many other of the true and loyal subjects of the crown in lreland; the blood of Hicks Pacha and his 10,000 soldiers, the blood of the army of General Baker, the blood of Tefak Bey and his 580 heroes. For four years this ministry has literally waded in blood; their hands are literally dripping and reeking with blood. From massacre to massacre they march, and their course is ineflaceably stamped upon the history of the world by an over-flowing streain of blood. How many more of England’s heroes, how many more of England’s best and bravest are to be sacrificed to the Moloch of Midlothian?

A Disastrous Voyage.
The other day the Norwegian vessel the Fritjof, Captain Simpsonsen, arrived in Granton harbor with only the captain re- maining on board, the rest of the crew having been all drowned. The captain states that the vessel left Sandeford, in Norway, with a cargo of billet wood for Wick, on the 16th ult. On the morning of the @lst, when about forty-six miles off Buchanness, the wind blowing a terrific gale frem the 8. 8. E., and a fearful sea
running, all hands were on deck, a tremendous wave broke on _ board, and swept all the crew into the sea. The master was washed back again,
and saved himself by clinging to the main sheet,where he lay insensible for some time. When he recovered, he found him- self alone on the vessel, the others being all drowned. The sea had smashed the wheel, binnacle, boat, etc., the sails were torn to ribands, and a portion of the deck cargo washedaway. The captain, finding himseif in the middle of the North Sea, steered for the coast of Norway. She got close to the coast, but the wind became contrary, and the vessel was driven back to the Moray Firth. Eventually, on Sunday morning, he reached the Frith of Forth, after being ten days at sea without seeing a single ship except one. He had to snatch short periods of sleep by lying down beside the wheel, which he lashed during the time, and he was obliged to keep the side lights burning night and day.
