'Hatflmbnlal Slavery.
Tlv> Estimate if a California Wife—Ten
year* or Falthftl Work.
The following card appears in the
San Jose (Cal.) Patmt:
NOTICE.
"All persons are hereby warned not
t8 trust Mary E. Aborns, (my wife,) as
she has left my bed and board without
just cause or provocation, and I will not
pay any bill contracted by her from and
after this date. John Aborns.
‘•San Jose, Feb. 6.1875.”
Mrs. Aborns now comes to the front
and makes the following statement in
reply to the above “warning” from her
non-crediting liege lord:
The above notice appears now daily
in the San Jose Daily Patroit. Why
am I thus published to the world?
And what human being on earth has
the right to do it ? Let U3 look at the
facts. I have been the wife of John
Aborns for about ten years, and lived
with him the whole of that time—the
B rimeofmy liie. Tliatmakes 3,650 days.
pring {hat time I have cooked about
ten-thousand meals of viotuals, set the
table as many times, and cleared it off
and washed the dishes. During the
ten years I have spent between ten and
fifteen thousand hours a over hot a
cook stove, both'in summer and winter.
I have cleaned up and swept the house
for him over ten thousand times.
During that ten years I have borne
to him six .children, five of them now
living, the youngest two and a-half
years old. Besides the pains and acci
dents incident to child-birth (which
every mother knows) what steps, cares
and troubles (to say nothing of the
sickness and anxious thoughts for my
children) it has cost me to bring them
up,.it is impossible for me to say; every
mother knows it better than she can
possibly tell it. In addition to that I
nave made all their clothing (besides
my own), and during that time I have
also made clothing and done sewing
for others for money, which ,went into
the “community” funds; that is, as I
understand it, all the property made
by the husband and wife is “community
property,” but in reality belongs to the
hUSDand, and it is called in law “ com
munity property,” to take off the sharp
edge of injustice.
More than that, during these ten
yegrs 1 have milked, on an average,
three cows tw&j£. a day, which will
muke about seven thousand milkings,
besides taking care of the milk and
making bitter from it. I have, during
the whole of that time, attended to the
poultry, and often have assisted Mr.
Aborns in loading hay, sewing sacks,
and- even cleaning out his stable. Now,
I have drawn the picture very mildly.
I have mode allowances for my sick
nesses,when I have had help, something
after the way that a farmer would hire
a horse, if nis own was sick and una
ble to work. I had nothing when I
went there and nothing at the end of
those ten years of servitude. I had
lived, it is true, and was very moder
ately furnished with clothing. This is
for my labpr. What man is there in
the world that would do the work 1
have done for the same compensation?
I make this statement, notout of any
feeling of revenge to Air. Aborns, for
he has done only what hundreds ol
others would have done. In many re
spects he is a good man ; industrious,
npd| like hundreds—yea thousands—of
others, honest with everybody except
his own family. I choose to live with
him no longer; my reasons are my own.
And again, what right has he to impair
my credit by publishing me ? In the
name of all that is iust I solemnly pro
test against it. Mary E. Aborns.

at work., and the foul coiruptions which
gender in the blood and rot out, ns it

this purpose Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi

They cure every kind of humor from one ‘ 4

curative influence. Virulent blood
poisons that lurk in the system are by
them robbed of their terrors, and by
their persevering and somewhat pro
