SATURDAY. MARCH 24.1888.
Wives in the Old Country.
I was captured at Sedan and kept
five months in a German prison. > ft
was while in that prison that I had
a chance to study the social relation
between man and wife among the Ger
mans. The captain or warden of the
prison had a habit of blowing a keen
whistle between his lingers, as a man
usually whistles for his dog, for his
wife to appear. He gave his orders
and the dutiful animal had to obey
them. Wives arc treated in middle
and lower classes in England very
much after the German fashion.
I remember a remarkable case that
occurred in Birmingham. A poor
woman, while passing along the street
with ajug ofbeer in her hand, got
into a quarrel. Without hesitation
she threw the jug in her opponent’s
face. She was arrested, locked up,
and next morning brought before the
magistrate. Ife sent for her husband
and asked him if ho could not gov
ern his wife. The husband said that
she had a high temper, and that at
times he found it difficult to control
her. The magistrate told the hus
band that lie would line him 110 ana
hold him responsible for his wife’s
conduct for six months. The idea
of making the husband the defend
ant, just as if his dog had done some
act and the owner was held respon
sible 1 In tiie aristocratic circles of
England tho wife is treated more as
an equal, but not nearly as much so
as in France and America. In France
the wife leads the husband around
by the nose, and I find that it is very
much the same in the United States.
In this country men have a high ap
preciation of woman and show them
a deference that is peculiarly beauti
fill and chivalric.—Max OTtell.
Coldest Night Ever Known in America.
The other day there was in the
city quite a distinguished young man,
says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
His celebrity consists of his having
recorded the lowest temperature ever
observed within the bounds of civil
ization. His name is George A. Car
den, and he was on his way from
Lama, Mo., to Chicago, where be
will act as Assistant Observer in the
Signal Office. It was on New Year’s
morning, 1885, that .Mr. Carden,
then Signal Service Observer at
Popular River, Montana, sent on
the solitary telegraphic wire that
connected him with the world out
sulc tins Uriel but startling announce
ment: “Temperature C2.1 degrees
below zero.” “I tossed about all
night trying to keep warm,” said
Mr. Carden. “The big stove 1 kept
nearly red hot, but still the little
room would not get warm. It seem
ed as cold as the outer air. Upon
jne I had piled covering equivalent
to twenty thicknesses of blankets,
buffalo robes, buffalo coats, cloth
coats, everything in the shape of pro
tection, was heaped upon 1113- little
bed, yet still I shivered under it all.
No one can form an idea of the cold
that night. I had to wear the heav
iest mittens, and ray sealskin cap
was pulled down over my ears.
Once, when I reached 1113- bare hand
out of the bed to throw another
stick of wood on the lire it was so
benumbed that I had to drop the
stick. Mind 3’0U, all this time the
fire was roaring and crackling.
Terrible Effects of an Earthquake.
News from Hong Kong, China,
sa3’s that in the earthquake in the
province of Yunnan, December 15,
the departmental city was reduced
to a mass of ruins, scarcely a house
escaping damage, and over 5,000
were killed by falling buildings.
Man3’ of them were buried under the
ruins, while the number of injured is
too large for computation. Yamen
was destroyed. At the city of La
mon an enormous chasm opened in
the earth and water was thrown out
from its depth. At Lo Chan, in
Chucn, a striking change lias been
caused in the appearance of the coun
try, large tracts of land he swallow
ed up and the surface changed into
a lake. I11 Lo Chau more than 10,
000 persons are said to have perish
ed.
