' A cotemporary succinctly sums up the pro visions of the Dew English law in reference to the rights of married women, and says: . ! ; The law provides that the "wages sod earn ings of a married woman, whether acquired by mental toil or by the exercise of liters ryrartistic. of scientific skill, and . all investments of such earnings, shall be regarded as property held and settled -to her separate use, wholly independent of her husband. She may also hold as her own. deposits in the savings banks, an anuuity, money in the funds, shares of stock, &c, provided that these investments have not been n.ade by funds belonging to her husband and used without his consent, or thus used trf defraud his creditors. If she becomes entitled; to personal or freehold property as an ; heiress, br by deed or ; will. it is to be her own as fully as if she ; were a spinster. By a whim I which we do not understand, the law restricts this ' latter right by providing that; if a: married "woman thus' becomes entitled to sum of money she may appropriate to her separ ate use only 200 of it. f The law also provides, with more wisdom, that a married woman! with separate property is" liable to the parish for the support of her husband and children, and may not, as is ho case h ere J riot in luxury jherself while refusing to ;ive them the bare necessaries of life. The law coes as far the other wayi how ever, by providing that a spinster who is in debt, and who has no money, may cancel her indebted ness by marrYin";. . A husband marrying after the new act has come into operation will not be liable for his wife s debts contracted before mar riage. An insolvent spinster may thus' end all her troubles with her creditors by marrying a mail as poor as herself. ; As a married woman she cannot be sued, and her husband is. not re sponsible fur her ante nuptial debts. j Thus Hymen becomes commissioner of bankruptcy for impecunious spinsters, and the unhappy creditors are left without remedy.' .

The pmr brutes seek the sympathy and aid of their mas ters ; for I have i known a poor old cat come moaning,' time after time, until it drew ktteution to its teeth. A surgeon who was visiting atjthe house first suggested the cause of the auimal's discomfort aud one person, more skilled than, the others, possibly, ! in the management of Jour dumb companions, drew a tooth which was rather loose, and at once relieved the poor creature.

" : : 1,1 1 Newspaper men are always setting forth the' advantages of advertising. TLy try to prove if' there is any "Royal Road" to fortunethat Judi cious advertising is that road. V They cite ex amples of men who were Dot worth a dollar a" few Tears ago, and who are now rolling in wealth and luxury ; and they tell ns that .this magical ' change of fortune was all brought about through , the agency of advertising. The evidence in favor of advertising is certainly toastrong to ad mit of a reasonable doubt of its efficacy as a busi- ness stimulant and tonic. 1 Advertising brings popularity, and popularity brings success. Now as advertising is such a great, lever inv the hands of an individual, what is to prevent it being of far more power in the hands of a com-1 muuity t If a business man, bt the outlay of a' few' - dollars, can increase bis business several hundreds of dollars, what is to ' hinder a Town, a County, or a State from increasing iu jbusinca ... by uicans of a little money . spent in judicious ' advertising? " If. advertising bencShf an iodi vidual,' it will benefit a community. Then in I Hie name of common senso, I ask the PrrtM of North Carolina, why do you not advertise the t natural advantagesbf the Good Old North Stste? Why not briogthe entire newspaper force of the State to bear on the subject ? Jet every town aud every county have its peculiar advantages : set forth ; let each paper set forth the advantages of its own particular neighborhood, but let them unite in advertising the State in general. . Why not declare a political truce, discontinue bitter ' political and 'personal articles, jj Do not pander to the tastes of a few depraved1 politicians who gloat over a 'red hot article" as the buzzards gloat over the putrid carcass of a dead mole. -Indeavor to build up the business of the State;1 ' invite, the capitalists, the mechanic' and tbo laborer to Join us in developing the unlimited " ' resources of this good old State. Itjcertainly lies within the power of the "North Carolina" Press to turn a large stream of the tido of imtui gration towards.theshorcsof this State;' and alp that is required is to stop advertising :', "Ktx w Kluxers." "Union Leaguers' and all "Politician- . ers." For God's sake give the.old North State the benefit of the writ of "Habeas Corpus,' ro- lease her from the claims of polities, give her a f rest., give her a breathing 'spelt Let a healfh ful stream of immigration course through her veins nd build up her wasted energies Kc- . member that immigrants looking for a place to , . settle in, cannot be expected trt come to North. , Carolina if you continue to fight and quarrel , and scold, and make believe tha a terrible reign of terror is hovering oar the State. " The excitement created by he politicians of t he State would not amount to much if the Press would only chronicle the work accomplished, and -not deign to notice the little nidj show fights that take placo outside of the arena, j Gentlemen of . the North Carolina Press,! we appeal to you in " the name 6f the good people of 'the State, to ad- . vert:8o the State. Let the outside world know that the ld North State can and does offer as ,niany inducements to the capitalist, the mer chant and the laborer ns any State in tho Union. , Nttcljcrn Republican.- ' ' '!';' Now that the elections are over, cannot all the papers "of North Carolina work I together for tho advancement of the agriculturafcchanicalatid mercantile interests of tho Stat Iet us drop politics for a season, and endejiior to promote the material prosperity of our people j and let , ' us disapprove of the course of Mose who try U thrive by keeping alive sectional prejudices. 1 .!,." :T, u,- -I ; ; j.. -'; Waterins: HorsM !
