THE PROPERTY OF MARRIED WOMEN.

A bill is at present before the Legislature «f; South. Australia to protect the property of married women from raids on it by their husbands. The bill, it is thought, will pass.. The key-note of the rneasm-p. is -fen hr>. found in the third clause:—"A married woman shall be capable of hold:ng, acquiring,, alienating, demising, and devising real estate! as if she were a femme sole." The two: succeeding sections (says the S. A. Register), provide that, saving settlements and cove nants, all real estate held by a married! woman, whether belonging to her-before or acquired by her after marriage, shall be free from the debts and obligations of her husband, and from his control and disposition ,in all respects' as' if she had continued single. Td avoid interference with vested interests the day upon which;.the Act is to come into1 operation—the Ist January next —is made the commencement of the period at which) rights under it are to accrue to women already married—that is to say they can make" no claim in regard to property acquired by oii belonging to them prior to that date. The' fifth clause deals with ..personality, and spe-j cifically declares that all the savings of a married woman, as w^ll as her wages and earnings gained in any employment, ocj cupation, or trade in which she i$ engaged apart from her husband, _ as also any money or property so acquired) by her through the exercise ■of any literary, artistic, or scientific skill, and al^ investments of such savings, wages, earnings^ money, or property shall be taken to be pro 7 perty held and settled to her separate use inf dependency of any husband to whom sh^ may be married. By the following clause^ directions are given as to the manner in which deposits in the Savings Bant andprdperty in Joint Stock Companies and Industrial Provi dent, Benefit, Loan, and Building Society are, are under certain circumstances, tonb| Reserved for the separate use' in* benefit of married women. In each instance, howeyexj, protection is afforded to the husband by a proviso specifying that if, in making"thfe deposits or purchasing the stock or shares!,. his money is surreptitiously employed,; a, Judge of the Supreme Court may; upo£ application under section 12, order repay ment or transfer to be made. This clause \% it may be mentioned, provides a remedy.for matrimonial disputes respecting1 the Owner ship of property. The arbitrator in all cases is to be a Judge of the Supreme Court, who may at the request of the parties hear and dispose of the matters in difference in pri vate, and whose decisions—regarded, with some reservations, as a decree of the Supreme Court in its equitable jurisdiction—are to bp subject to appeal. . ; •;'/'-.: I

The Chinese are fond of fowls, anjd, sometimes display some cunning in secur ing their fancied birds. A/Victqrian paper relates that " some little time since a heathen Chinee was jjournyine past ia homestead near Cameron's Hill, arid observing a remarkably fine gander amotig a flock of geese he trailed a bailed fishing line within a few inches of" his intehde'd victirojanose, who of course!gobbled it up. John^CK' s-jce put on steam, amid the alar^jL^jy^ries of the Haviour of ancient BotngJjn his immediate rear, ~The dm created brought out the old ' lady of the house, who, being rather short-sighted interpreted John's fight as being caused by fear. 'Standstill John,''she bawled; out;' stand still, agrah, and he'll not harm you,' John however, disappeared ovjer the neighboring rise, with his apparent pursuer in full cry, and it is needles* (to *d<i that was the last seen of either. "^"Wfaen Handel onca undertook, in a crowded i church,, to play the dismissal on a very .fine organ there, the whole congregationl becatoa 10 entranced with delight that not an : indivi dualcould stir, till at length the usual..prganjit came impatiently fqrward andtpok his seat, saying, in a tone of acknowledged superiority, " You cannot dismiss a congregation, Sp# how 1 pan disperse them.'

"THE PEOPLE'S CHAMPION."

As intimated by us yesterday the Poor Man's Friend appeared in the R.M. Court to-day in answer to a claim ifoi- £10 arrears of rent due to the Young Men's Christian Associa tion. We stated:! that a prosecution under the Stamp Act had been held lover the heads of the " Young Men." This bolt is yet to descend, but honest George is not deficient in expedients, and meantime he submits a contra claim, which our readers will admit is unique; We publish it entire; and from it an idea will be formed of the difficulties that lie ,yu the way of the poor sisters of Cheap John in the endeavour to get their property but of the hands of the "Poor Man's Friend.

ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.

The service at the ordination of Wiremu Pomare was: held in St.' Pauls Cathedral this (St1 Luke's) day.' The .church i was: crowded by visitors auxioua, to join-in the service add. witness the interesting ceremony. The service commenced by 'Singing the 84th Psalm, when the clergy entered the church, viz, the Right Rev. the Bishop of Auckland, and Archdiacon Maunsell, The Rtevs. Ash-; well Bates, Bree, Dudley, Gould, Jones, Kiricler -G-; MaunselW Otway,// Primer fSchlse, Scott, Taylor, R.

I by the Rev H. Tarawhiti, then followed the J, . epistle by the Rev. W. Turipona. The i ; candidate for deacons' orders was then | ordained by the. Bishop, Wiremu Pomare, ; who afterwards read the gospel, and creed and prayer for the church militant by the • Rev. Q. Maunsell. At the communion the ; Bishop was the celebrant, which was the only part of the service, save the con ! secration prayer, which was rendered ,! in English. The elements were ad ; I ministered to the [Europeans by the Bishop ; and the Rev. G. M. Nelson, the minister of ; St. Paul's ; and to the Maories by the Vene rable Archdeacon Maunsell and the Rev. Heta Tarawhiti. The Post Communion ser : vice was said by the Rev. Piripi, after which the Bishop said the concluding collect and ! pronounced the blessing. There were eighty-three communicants, ' and the offertory (devoted to the Waimata Native Pastoral Fund) amounted to £6 2s. [

A victim of Greeley's handwriting says : i" If Horace had written that inscription on the wall in Babylon, Belshazzar would have been a good deal more sacred than he was." [ Happiness.—As well might a planet, i revolving round the sun expect to have perpetua'Maylight in both hemispheres as a man may expect in this life to enjoy: happiness throughout, unmixed with sorrow or pain. A lady has, invented a contrivance, which effectually does away with the annoyance: produced by hor husband's snoring—two funnels of hard rubber connected by a flexible tube. One of the funnels is placed over the snorer's mouth and the other orer one ear. i The result is, all the sound is confined, and the snorer hears his own music instantly. It generally wakes him up at the first note. i Friend Jones, it seems, had a very good horse and a vervbad one. When seen riding the poor one, he was asked tbe reason (it turned ' out that his betlerhalf had taken the good one.) "What!" said a bantering bachelor; "how comes it you let your wife ride the better horse ?"—the only reply vai, 'Friend, when thee beest married, thee'lt know.' At a marrige lately in Maine, the bride's voice faltered, and she paused in the midst of the impressive ceremony. Her little niece, a bright little three-year-old, thinking tho naughty minister was compelling poor aunty to say something disagreeable, stamped her little foot, and exclaimed, in a tone of author ity, "Auntie, don't oo thay it.'
