A Spartan Marriage.

Many OF the laws of Lycurgus in
connection with this subject would un-
doubtedly meet with the appreciation
of the fair sex ofmodern times. The
time for marriage was fixed by stat
ute, that of the man Mt about thirty
or thirty five, that of the lady at twen-
ty or little younger. All men who
continued unmarried after the ap.
lpointed time were liable to prosecu-
ltion, and all old bachelors wer, pro
hibited from beingp resent.at fire pub.
lie exercises Of the Spartan maideHs,
and were denied the usual respect and
honors paid to the aged. "Why
should l give you place." cried the
young man to the old unmarried
general" You have no child to give
place TO me when am old?' 10 mar.
riage portions were given to any of
tho maidens, so that neither poverty
should prevent gallant, nor riches
tempt him to marry contrary to his
inciinations. The parents of three
children enjoyed considerable immu-
nities,; and those with four children
lpaid 40 taxes whatever---a regulation
which all married men with largo
families will readily admit to be most
wise and equitable. Every marriage
was preceded by betrothal, as in
other Greek cities, but the marriage
itself was performed by the young
Spartan carrying Off his bride by pre-
tended abduction, and for some time
afterward the wife continued to reside
with her own family, and only met
the husband Oh stated OCCASIONS
This extraordinary way of spending
the honeymoon was introduced by
Lycurgus, to prevent the husband
from wasting too much of his time in
his wifc's society during the first
years OF their marriage; and in order
to economize the brides charms, it
was customary for her brides. maid
to cut of all her hair on the wedding
day, so that for some time, ut least,
her personal attractions should in
crease with her years-a very com
mendable plan, which we RECON-
mend to the wives of the present day.

The Editors Drawer Of Harper
Magazine is full Of good things. w,
cannot resist giving to our reader:
the following, from The Drawer, which
Is apropos TO the present time:
. One Of the funniest things that ever
occurred, or perhaps ever will occur,
took place at the regular opening oI
the Convention at Chicago:
On the conclusion of the benedic.
tion by Bishop Whitehouso, which
constituted e part of the opening ex.
ercises, he commenced The recitation
OF the Lords Prayer, i'll which the
delegates attempted, by request, to
join in concert, and tt is described by
an eye witness as Che richest of all
rich affairs. The announcement was
hardly made by the reverend gentle
men, and he had but articulated the
opening words Of the preyer, when
confusion confounded ran through the
whole assembly. Had they been call
ed on to join the chorous of "Pass
the Flowing Bowl" or "Bonnie Blue
Flag" or just Another Drink Before
We Co." they would have been equal
to the emergency, but the Lords
Prayer was "to many" for them..--
However, for the sake of harmony(?)
they started in. One delegate, whose
early education evidently had not
been neglected, vociferated at the top
of his voice, "Now / lay me down to
Sleep" a Western Judge thought
himself all right with, "On Jordan's s
stormy banks / stand;" n clerical
brother, "Our life hangs by ~ single
thread" a delegate from the Wabash
was troubled with, "When shall see
Jesus2" "peace" fellow from Illinois
gave, with a good nasal twang, GLOW
tedious and tasteless the hour!' n
New Yorker Captain Rynders, pro-
bably) seemed anxious to know when
he "Could read his title clear to man.
sions in the Skies" and a short haired
Bowery boy was anxious to "Let her
rip" because, he claimed, "She's all
oal;' tavern keeper clcverly piped,
"My spirits will never wane;" a coun-
try squire, the first time from home,
proclaimed, 'Know all men by these
PRESENTS" and Keystone boy cap
ped the climax with "Down with the
traitors, up with the flag"

The Atlantic Cable.

This great national enterprise
IS represented as progressing with
success. A letter from Geo. Saward,
General Superintendent of construc.
ton, to Cyrus w. Field, states that
the covering of the copper conductor,
with its four layers of gutta- percha,
commenced on the 10Th of April, and
has since then continued, slowly and
with great care, being constantly un-
der electrical tests, by the aid of ap-
paratus, which, if it had been availa.
BILE when the former cable was con.
structed, would have caused the very
best portions of it to have been ut
tcrly rejected. The present core,
however, even under these searching
tests, shows perfection of insulation
in its worst part, more than twice that
of the high standard prescribed by
the specification, and is undoubtedly
the finest telcgraphic core that has
ever been constructed up to this
period. Ofthis about 500 miles have
at present been completed, or are in
various stages of completion. The
total weight contracted for is 1,60O
tons, of which over 500 tons have
been delivered. The completed cable
is now being delivered at the rate OF
80 miles per week.
The steamship Great Eastern is at
Sheerness, where she is being pre-
pared for the reception of the cable
On her tower deck are to be iron tanks
for storing the cable in water. They
will be three in number, and about SO
feet in diameter by 90 deep. The
cable when finished is placed in water
on board steamers, so that it will be
out of that element but few minutes
being stretched on the ocean bed.

The Dutch Gap Enterprise.

"P. w. A." the correspondent of
the Savannah Republican speculates
as follows upon the object of the Yam
KEGS in digging the canal across
Dutch Gap, and adds a timely word
in favor OF the right use of the spade:
The object of this canal is not fully
understood. 1t is believed TO be
thus: First, to avoid Che battery at
Houletts house and the submarine
distractions in the river at Trent's
Reach; second, 10 bring the iron clads
through the canal and secure q po-
sition, after driving away our little
fleet, from which they can cilence the
battery at Signal Hill: then, having
secured Signal Hill, tho enemy hope
TO be able to carry the works at Chat.

tion of Signal Hill fourth, having car
ried Chaflln's Bluff, their next move
would be against Drewry's Bluff dis
tant one mile; fifth, Drewry's Bluff il
their possession the way would be
open, they think, to Richmond. Sucl
is believed to be the theory upor
which they are acting.
Their industry and enterprise ar,
alike creditable to thems elves ant
worthy of our imitation. We bein.
the weaker in numbers should hay,
