4 ST. FRANCIS HosPITAL.-As our read
ers are aware, the Sisters Of the Poor of st.
Francis have opened Hospital In Startling
Medical College, which has been leased to
them for that purpose for term of years.
The design Is TO afford an asylum for the
sick, the afflicted and destitute poor of our
city, and others who have none. to help
them. These the Sisters, as far as their
means will allow, will take to their Hospf-
tai, and afford them shelter, food, clothing
and nursing; and where medical aid will be
rendered gratuitously by the resident ply
sicians of the city. This charity will be
extended to all the sons and daughters of
poverty and afliiction, without regard TO
nationality or to religious or political opip-
ions; for the benevolence of the Sisters, like
that of the founder of their order, embraces
the poor and afflicted of all classes and of
every creed.
Such is, in brief, the sole design of the
st. Francis Hospital, recently opened In
our city. 1t is noble charity, calculated,
If suitably sustained, to do an immense
amount of good. 1t is for our citizens to
say, by their contributions to its support,
whether it shall be encouraged. Being
strictly charity, it must be built up and
kept in operation by the charitable. The
Sisters have expended their limited means
in fitting up the Hospital for those whose
use 1t is designed, and still the necessary
preparations are not nearly completed
More help is needed to put the establish
ment In order for the reception of the poor
and afflicted who are daily calling for its
charity, and to sustain it in existence and
successful operation. 4
The Sisters of st. Francis appeal to the
citizens of Columbus who are noted for
their liberality to benevolent institutions,
to aid In this humane and Christian work.
They themselves are devoting to it their
health, their strength and their lives, ex-
pecting nothing in return but the conscious
ness of having done their duty; and, not
on their own behalf, but on behalf of the
destitute and afflicted, they entreat the good
people of Columbus to buildup and sustain
this great home charity. Our citizens will
shortly be called upon by the Sisters, or by
Others on behalf OF the Hospital, TOR their
contributions, and we trust they will be
ready to respond with liberality cores
ponding to the greatness and nobleness of
the work the Sisters have undertaken.

Teachers. Institute.

We are now, more than ever before, firm in
the belief that the people of Alexander county
placed the right man in the right place, when
they elected Joel G. Morgan, Esq, as County
School Superintendent. On the 7th inst Mr..
Morgan was elected to his office, ard ever
since his mind has been occupied in planning
how,best the educational interests of the county
could be fostered and elevated, and on yester-
day he issued a proclamation calling upon the
teachers Of the county to assemble together in
| this city, on the 10Th proximo, and enjoy an
intellectual love feast for five days.
Singular to relate there has never been a
Teachers Institute in this county. This is
| certainly not as it should be. In every county
| in which we ever lived there has always been

ings at which they met their professors or in
structors and underwent examinations. Ind
if such meetings are of value to any profession,
surely they would be doubly important to edu-
Gators, whose business is rever learned, and
who can never, under the most favorable Cir
cumstances, attain the heighth to which all
should aim at
The programme adopted by Mr.. Morgan for
the first session of the institute cannot fail
attracting every teacher in the county, together
with many citizens. First, the teachers will
be examined in photography, reading, penman-
ship, arithmetic, grammar, modern geography
and history of the United States Next, Mr..
M. will, assisted by others, attempt to impart
instruction in the theory and science of teach.

Marriages.

II is a noticeable fact that great portion of
our people who plunge into the matrimonial sea-
do not make the plunge from this standpoint.
The premnaries appear to be contaminated
deliberately tn, ough the mails, and when the
eventful hour arrives, Cairo is usually minus,
for the time being, either lady or gent, and
sometimes both.
There is something about marriage which
people INDUCING in it appear to feel ashamed
Of A young man pays his devotions to a
young lady, and the young lady receives such
devotions, but they are offered and received in
sort of surreptitious way which rather i'm
presses the maid or bachelor not giving to
signing, with the idea that the institution is
''not what it is cracked up to be- And then
when the young man "pops, and the object
of his affection answers yes" the day of
nuptials is stealthily named, and arrangements
are as stealthily made to consummate the
cherished object, and the first substantial
evidence their friends have Of what
is going is a notice in the papers
lntimating that at Chicago, Cincinnati, st.
Louis, or some other outside place, Mr.. -
w
weeks or months are then spent amongst stran-
gers or convenient relations, and the couple
finally pluck up courage enough to come home,
and with bushes from the crowns Of their
heads to the base of their ears, they greet those
who should have been their confdants.
Of course some will say that this is none of
our business, but we insist upon it that it is.
We are in favor of patronizing home institu'
tions-of marrying home girls and patronizing
home clergymen. We will not admit that any
man has right to go away from home and marry
girl belonging to another town or city, and add
insult to injury by employing distant and
| strange clergyman TO say that none but God
shall ever sunder him and his affinity. No sir,
and every minister in this city will coincide
with us.
Thus impressed, we, the other day, looked
over the list of marriage licenses granted in this
county since 1859, and to-day present the foot
ings, not with pleasure but with shame
Shame that out of the many, many couples who
have hitched fates from this city, so very few
of them committed the act at home. But to
the figures
In 1859 there were 60 marriages licenses
issued.
