Breaches of Promise. Movements are being m ade, fiom time to time, iu various quarters to abolish all breach of promise " laws, and leave the victims of broken vows without any of the wonted solaces of solid cash. This, it seem s to us, would be progress backward. The end to which the perfected reign of enlightened law continuously aims is to make con tracts more sacred and binding, rather than to weaken their sanction. The dis ciples of the new dispensation demand that betrothal and matrimonial bonds shall be regarded as mere civil con tracts, to be undone as they are done by the parties themselves. But granting this radical demand, we should still have valid ground for objecting to the repeal of these laws, inasmuch as it would manifestly give to oue party alone the power to break the compact without consent of the other. It requires no great stretch of imagination to see that this would be placing the lambs in the jaws of the wolves; would be of the nature of an abdication by (the state of its prerogative as arbiter of justice be tween man and man, and by so much a return toward barbarism and the domi nation of strongest arm and most crafty wit. One of the arguments which is used in favor of this repeal is that the law is powerless to beget love or to preserve it, aud that it is, therefore, iniquitous to insist upon the performance of a promise in which the existence of love is implied. But this is based on an en tire misconception of the purpose of the law. The law has never made any at tempt to create or foster a sentimental alleetion. Its more modest ambition has been directed to the punishment of a substantial and obvious wroug, which is none the less tangible and real be cause it is complicated by the associa tion of tender feeling. It may be true that a man who is anxious to draw buck from hia engagement is not likely to be a desirable husband, but that is no reason why he should escape the conse quences of his conduct. By the breach of his promise he inflicts, in many cases, the gravest injury upon a woman's future; and, although it may be im possible to measure that injury by money, it is still within the power of a jury to aliord a measure of his disgrace. Nor are damages which a jury may award any more remote than in other actions in which character and reputa' tion are concerned. There are cases in which an action for a breach of promise of marriage may be the only means available to a woman to vindicate her fame. So long as no penalty attaches to his withdrawal from a solemn engage ment, a man is at liberty to insinuate his own explanation of the circumstance, and this may often act as a sort of grievous injustice to the unfortunate creature whom he has wronged. With out going so far as to bring himself within the law of slander, it isje.isy for him in sucn cases to create a strong prejudice in his favor; and it is most wholesome, to our thinking, tiiat sucn temvtation should be subject to the check which an action for breach of promise affords. If that action is to be abolished, every sentimental youn scamp will be encouraged to indulge himself in an engagement without any thought of carrying it to a serious con clusion, and every scoundrel, under the guise of &entimentaiisci, will be free to employ a promise of marriage as an easy means of securing his own ends As a further reason why these laws should be discontinued, it is alleged that they are resorted to by a common class of people, and that they are rarely called into use by persons in the higher and more cultivated circles of society. There may be some truth in this; but its truth is rather an argument for the maintenance of the law as it stands. The action is used by those who most need its use, and to whom the pecuniary compensation which it oilers is most ap propriate. Long engagements are of len a necessity with young men and women who have yet to win the means that will enable them to marry, and it is in the breach of these engagements that the cruelest injury is inflicted. To the woman who is abandoned after years of waiting, such a withdrawal from the contract means often the complete ruin of her future prospects, even where it does not, as is often the case, imply the. ruin of her character. It is urged against this law, that it cannot be justly administered under our present system of jurv trials. "It is j almost impossible," say the advocates I of repeal, " that a man should obtain I justice in an action for breach of promise. Iiie tacts cannot oe Drougtit faffy before a jury. If he attempts to suggest that the woman is anything but an angel in temper, a very embodiment of all the female virtues, so that there would be some reason to justify a man in not rnarrving her, the mere sugges : tion is enough to tring down upon him a whole torrent of invective from judge, counsel and jury." This is indeed a pitiable state of things. That lament of "man's inhumanity to .man," iu which Burns indulged, obviously needs correction. Henceforth it is woman's inhumanity to man that must be reckoned as the crying evil of the' world. But, seriously, this is a reason, not for abolishing the law, but for modifying 'the conditions of its administration. How far the institution of trial by jury may have .failed iu regard to this par ticular action, we are not prepared to say. Doubtless jurymen occasionally make astounding blunders, both of reason and sentiment, but this is not, to our thinking, a sufficient cause for abandoning our laws in despair. If the errors of juries are to be made the test of the soundness of our legislation, there will be scarcely any branch of law that can be retained. jr. 1'. Home Journal. A young couple went to the Church of St. Roche. 1'aris, to be married. Tlie lady proposed that they should both go j to the confessional to commence their j new life free of old sins. The gentle man assented and they went to different parts cf the church. He returned to his place in a quarter of an hour, and waited for his would-be bride a full hour very impatiently. When she re turned he asked: "Where have you been all this time?" " Why, at the con fessional!" "And did it take you all this time to confess your sins ?" "Yes," she answered, humbly. " Then, adieu, we part forever, for I'll never marry a woman who has so many sins that it takes an hour to confess them," and he left her. Paris paper.

A murder trial that hus just been con cluded by the conviction of two persons in Jersey City, bids fair to become " a celebrated case." About a year ago a policeman in that city, named Smith, was murdered im the night. The alnrm was given by Mrs. Smith in the morn iDg, aud she told a very suspicions story. She had been awakened iu the night, and saw a tall man by her bed side, who put a cloth over her face that " tasted sweet;" and she knew no more until she " feit something cold," her husband's dead body. The fact that there were no blood -stains on her cloth ing, though the murdered man had bled profusely, seemed inconsistent with her 'etory; everybody believed her an accessory to the crime, if not the criminal. A young man named Bennett, the landlord of the Smiths and a former boarder with them, was suspected as the murderer. When the two were brought to trial Bennett made an un successful attempt to prove an alibi; and a letter from him to Mrs. Smith, intercepted in the jail, contained pas sages inconsistent with the theory of their innocence. A criminal intimacy was admitted by both, and thus a mo tive for the crime was established. Though circumstantial for the most part, the evidenco was convincing; and the Judge in his charge foreshadowed the verdict of " guilty " that followed. The community in general has no doubt of the justice of this verdict. Yet there is a strong newspaper agita tion in favor of the condemned persons, on the ground that their trial was neither fair nor legal. "Whether Judge Knapp's charge was a fitting one, is for the Courts to decide; not being learned in the law, we do not express any opin ion upon it. As to the question of fact the jury has decided that, and decided it correctly, beyond reasonable doubt which is ail that the law requires. The accused are entitled to every chance for life that the law grants them, and to no more. The community has lights as well as criminals, and one of those rights is that the law against murder be rigorously enforced. There is just one exception to this statement. Murderers in New Jersey are entitled to one right that the law iu that State does not grant the right to be heard. Justice is for sale iu New Jersey Courts to this extent, that no body can get a hearing unless he has monev. If he can find lawyers ready to conduct his case for nothing, an ap plication to the Court of Lrrors in volves the printing of testimony and other expenses to the amount of $500 or more. Unless a condemned criminal can procure this sum he cannot even be heard. If he or his friend- have money he can obtain a new trial, if he is legal ly entitled to it. If he is penniless he can have no second trial, no matter how clearly entitled to it. Mrs. Smith and her paramour are clearlv entitled to have their case heard, and argued by counsel before the Court of Errors ; but had not persons in no way connect ed with them undertaken to raise the necessary money they could not have availed themselves of this right. In New York the State bears the ex penses in criminal cases, so that the right of appeal is preserved to rich and poor alike. It ought to be so in New Jersey. The present law is a relic of barbarism, and this case will have done some public service if it leads to a mod incation of so . iniquitous a statute. "Jersey justice" is famous for its promptness, and should prove its right to the title by speedy action in this matter. -A'. F. K.catuiner and Chronicle. A u Improvement. It is an undeniable fact that Ameri can women are improving in plump ness, and are fast losing the lean, scrawny appearance for which they were once remarkable. The reason for this is obvious: they take vastly better care of themselves than formerly. They have more acquaintance with hygienic laws, and hold them in far higher es teem. The days when they exposed themselves to dampness and wintry cold in thin slippers and silk stockings; when they abstained from flannels next the skiu; when they pinched ' their waists to semi-suffoeaiion; when they sacrificed comfort and health to what they conceived to be their appearance those foolish and unhappy days are gone forever, have barely been known to the risiug generation. Our "women now have no mawkish morbid notions as to them selves; they no longer think that to be unhealthy is to be attractive; that in dividualism and interestingness are synonymous; that pale faces and coin pressed lungs are tokens of beauty, they dress seasonably; they wear thick boots and warm clothes in bad aud cold weather; they allow themselves to breathe freely, and they find their looks improved, not injured, by the wholesome change. There are excep tions, many of them, doubtless, but the rule is as we have described, and the exceptions are constantly diminishing. it may te saiely said that all sensible women are becoming, if they have not yet become, converts to nature, and that they heed her behests, recognizing the great principle that what is not nat ural cannot be beautiful. No wonder, then, that their proportions are fuller, their cheeks more blooming and their steps. more elastic. Sir "Walter Scott had a kind word for everybody, and his kindness acted all around him, dispelling the reserve and awe which his great name was calcu lated to inspire. "He'll come here," said the keeper of the ruins of Melrose Abbey to Washington Irving, " he'll come here sometimes wi' great folks in his company, and the first I'll know of it is heariDg bis voice calling out, 'Johnny Bower.' And when I go out, I'm sure to be greeted wi' a joke and a pleasant word. He'd stand, and crack, and laugh wi' me, just like an auld wife ; and to think that of a man that has such an awfu' knowledge of his tory !

It has recently been observed that putrid urine has the property to remove grease and dirt from the articles with which it comes into contact. At first it was thought that this property was -.due to the carbonate of ammouia present in the urine, but subse quent, experiments have shown that this ac tion .depends eutiiely on the phosphates of the alkalies. A soap was therefore mauufac. tun d containing a certain percentage of phospha'e. of soda which has proved to be very effectual m cleansing, more so thap other soaps. It renders hard " water, con taming much lime, soft' as the liuie is pre cipitated as a phosphate. The phosphate soap is not-it'jurious whatever, and does not affect the most delicate fabrics while it is of beneficial influence on the Fkln. It may also be remarked that waste paper containing such soap may be used as a fertilizing agent for g:rdeiis. These soaps are now extensive ly manufactured iu Germany and France. Chem. Ztiluny.
