The Week.

This article reports on several political and economic developments. Almost the last step in the process of making husband and wife not one flesh, so far as property is concerned, has just been taken by the Legislature of New York. Up to the middle of this month the law was that a married woman might contract as if unmarried. With any person except her husband, but since that time contracts between husband and wife are lawful. The report on church-going, read before the annual meeting of the Congregational churches of Massachusetts last week, has already received much attention, and is sure to receive more. This is not so much on account of the completeness of the report as of its suggestiveness.
