before a physician the other day express

with every symtom Of the disease, and the

having passed through the various stages
of this terrible disease. 1t is plain case

WHEN I MEAN TO MARRY.
DY JOHN G. SAKE.

BY JOHN G.. SAKE.
When do m can to marryf Well
'Tis idle to dispute with fate:
But if you choose to hear me tell, .--,.
Pray listen while fix the date.
When daughters haste with eager feet,
A mothers daily toll to share;
Can make the pudding which they eat,
And mend the stockings which they wear.
When maidens look upon a man
As in himself what they would marry,
And not as army soldiers scan ..
sutler or a commssary.
When gentle ladies who have got
The offer of a lovers hand, ...
Consent to share his earthly lot"
And do not mean his lot of land.
When young mechanics are allowed
b I.g To find and wed the farmers girls
Who don't expect to be endowed .--..
With rubies, diamonds and pearls.
When wives, in short shall freely give .t
Their hearts and hands to aid their spouscs,
And live us they were wont to live .rf
Within their sre's one-story houses.
. Then, madam-if I'm not too old
Reioiced to leave This lonely life. .
III brush my beaver, cease to scold,
And look about me for a wife!

The Return OF MIR. George Poas
body.

1tCm tue New xorK EOoy, ~ ~ !.
Among the passengers who a<rived here
this morning, on the Scotia, was MIR. George
Peabody. MIR. Peabody's welcome TO the
land Of his birth will be hearty.
Born in Danvers, Mass, on the 18th of
February, 1895, he had At first to struggle
with poverty, like most Of our very rich
men. Beginning his commercial career as
clerk with Danvers grocer, at the age Of
eleven; aferward employed in the same
capacity at Thetford, VT, and at Newbury-
port. Mass. he gradually but Slowly i'm
proved his condition, until, in 1874, he be.
came managing partner in q wholesale dry
goods house, with Mr.. Elisha Riggs. NJ
Georgetown, D. c., the latter furnishing the
capital. The next year the house was re-
moved to Baltimore and prospered, and in
1922, branch houses were established in
New York and Philadelphia. In 1929, by
the retirement Of Mr.. Riggs, MIR. Peabody
became the senior partner in the house, and
in 1887 he took up his permanent residence
in England, having previously visited that
country on private business, rs we'll as to
transact Important negotiations entrusted
to him by the State Of Maryland.
In l843 Mr.. Peabody withdrew from the
dry goods business, and established himself
in London as o merchant and banker; his
house soon becoming the headquarters Of
Americans in London, and the centre Of
American news and intelligence.
His first large gift, sent in 1852 to his
native town in Danvers, was check for
$50, 900, 10 be expended in the founding of
town library and institute. This hand
some gilt was afterward increased to $50, 900
besides an additional $4,000 for branch
library at North DAnvers. He also contrib
uted Sic, 900 to the first Grinnell expedition
to the Attic Ocean, and in 1867 gave
$500, 600 to found scientific and literary
institute at Baltimore. with pledge to in
crease this sum to 100000.
His largest and most notable donations,
however, have been made to the poor Of the
city where the most Of his fortune has
been made. They amount in all to $500
600 sterling-a gift so magnificent as to
have lately received the especial acknowl-
edgement Of Queen Victoria, IN letter
which We published . few days since.
This unprecedented donation was not the
display Of an ostentatious and unexception-
able liberality, but was SO much in harmony
with Mr.. Peabody's known generosity Of
character, as to deserve the universal COM
mendation it received.
Mr.. Peabody, although now past seventy
years Of age, has, We trust, yet before him
many years Of vigorous life and usefulness

The Fenians' fury in Nev York appears
to be turned upon the leaders. O'Mahony
has been arrested, tried, made to dsgorge,
and deposed, and it is now their intention
to arrest and try Stephens. on his arrival,
which is anticipated on the 9th inst. He is
accused Of completely in the acts for which
o'Mahony was tried. The Fenian Senate
meets on the 9Th.
About O'Clock on the morning of the
coth, six burglars entered the residence Of
the Cashier of the Harrison National Bank
Of Cadiz, O., bucked and gagged the Cashier,
and compelled him and his wife to deliver
up the keys Of the bank and safe. Proceed
ing thence to the bank, they effected an en-
trance without much opposition, and robbed
the safe Of 100000 in United States bonds
and about $4,000 in deposits. After lock-
ing the Waterman in the safe, they made
good their escape on a hand car, cutting the
telegraph wires in two places. The robbers
abandoned the hand-car at station near
Alexandria, on the P. c. and G. Il. r., and
took to the woods. The SURROUNDING coun-
Try has been aroused, and large force is in
pursuit. $4,000 reward is offered for the
arrest of the robbers.

Mn. CYnus w. FIELD returned from
England last week, in the Persia, after hav-
ing launched another great expedition TO
lay the Atlantic Telegraph cable. This is
his thirty sixth voyage across the ocean on
this enterprise, to which he has devoted the
last twelve years Of his life. Such indom-
table perseverance deserves success, and
we trus, will command it. All preparations
are going forward with the greatest rapid
ity. They are manufacturing over hun
dred miles of cable week. Mr.. Field re-
maine here but six weeks, and returns TO
England to JOIN tho Great Eastern, which is
expected to sail the last Of June. All con-
nccted with the former expedition feel sure
Of success this time. They hope to have

American Manufactures Tho
American Watch 10. OF
VNullhOln. Mass.

Every one knows that the mechanism Of
the best manufactures Of this country il
.unequalled in any part of the world. The
genius of American mechanics produced the
cotton-gin. the mechanical reaper and NOW.
err, the sewing machine, and last but not
least, tho wonderful mao hinery OF the
American Watch Company of Waltham.
This Company was established in 1850, and
has grown in proportions which en,itle 1t 10
. first rank among the manufacturing en-
terprises Of the New World. 1t employs
between QUO and 1000 artizans Of superior
skill and character, and largo and thriv-
ing town has grown up in lis vicinity. The
factory covers over three acres Of ground.
and as an illustration Of its extent, we may
mention that it is supplied with more than
GO miles Of iron pipes and produces an ag-
grcgate Of nearly $4,000 watches per an
mum The founders OF this company be-
lieved that the same delicate mechanical
process which had produced such remark
bly, perfect results in larger machines,
MI ght be applied with even greater advan-
tage TO the production Of the watch. The
! foreign time pieces are made principally by
hand, aud except when Of high cost, An i'm
perfect article, often out of repair, and Of
little value is the result. Abroad, these
my sterious. and infnitesimal organs which,
when aggregated, produce the watch, are
the fruit Of slow and toilsome manual pro-

1t may well be cause Of congratulation
to every American, that in only one year
