Fenianism

The Atlantic cable brings as the news of an up
rising ofthe Feniansin Ireland, and excitement in
Europe in regard to it. What the extent of the re
bellion is and what the resources ofthe Irish are
we cannot at the present writing determine The
British government are on the alert, and means
have been taken to repress the outbreak. From
our knowledge of Ireland, and the vigorous laws
under which their people live, and the strict sur
veilance which the government maintains there,
we can see no possible good that can result from
this outbreak.
The most thorough preparations have been
adopted to prevent such disturbance, by the Brit
ish government, and unless some great bIunder
shall be made, the revolt can make but little pto-
gress
Ireland can never hope to gain her indepen-
dence unless she is assisted by some powerful ma
tion aud as England has now no wars on hand
she may be expected to quench this Instruction
as readily as you could extinguish the blaze of
candle. Ireland has our warmest sympathies,
and we hope that this government may some day
be in position to extend to her struggling peo-
pie material aid in accomplishing what she ar
IDENTIFY desires-deliverance from British tyranny
and misrule We hope to have more advices up
on this question in few days.

The sergeant informed the men who had
arrested the prisoners that they were acting
entirely without authority, and that any
person, white or black, was privileged to
come upon the island whenever they chose
and be unmolested. He relieved them at
once from arrest, and the party reached the

A FAMILY WEDDING CoAT.-The Stan
ton Spectator, in the following, gives an
account of a coat that has proved veritable
heir loom:
"Many years since, an old German cti-
zen of Pendleton County, when about to
lead his fair "frow to the hymeneal altar,
purchased broad cloth coat in which he
was married. His wife presented him with
many children, among whom we're eight
sons, every one of whom were married in
the same coat in which their father married
their mother The youngest Of the sons had
seven sons, every one of whom we're mar
ried in the same coat, and after the young
est son of the original owner of the coat had
led his blushing bride to the altar in his
venerable grand.father's fashionable wed.
ding coat, he sold it for the sum of ten dol
lars. What has become of the coat since it
was sold we have not been advised, but
suppose that some one is keeping it for the
purpose of getting married in it"

IHE HPRETTY WAITER UlHLS In IAN
The sspretty waiter girl' question
is engaging the attention of the New York
Legislature. The practice is regarded as a
scandal and an abomination. A bill with
the following provisions is about being In
troduced into the Legislature
l. That no concert saloon shall be allow
ed to exist in this State which employs
girls to wait upon customers.
2. That in no place where music is used
in any way, shall girls be employed by the
establishment to sit among the attendants
8. That in no drinking saloon Of any kind
shall females be publicly employed.
4. That dance houses must not be tole-
rated by the police.
A writer in the New York World thinks
that if the pretty waiter girls 60 to work in
earnest, and with true female tact, they
will be enabled to create an interest that
will defeat the measure. He relates the
following as illustrating their influences IN
such affairs:
In connection with the subject l am re-
minded of the means adopted not many
winters since to defeat bill of a somewhat
similar nature. The measure having been
introduced, shortly after there appeared up.
on the scene a dozen 'pretty waiter girls,
all arrayed for the tug of war. These young
ladies put up at a house without preten-
tious as hotel; but that only served their
purpose better. 1t was not long before
several keen fellows-members of the House
found out the new attraction, and for
day or two, Tom, Dick and Harry, were
constant attendants at the aforesaid hotel -
Each man prided himself upon possessing a
great secret.
Finally, sleigh ride was arranged be-
tween two honorables and two of the girls,
and away went the party at the appointed
hour in gallant style towards Troy. At 9
o'clock supper was to be ready at certain
establishment near Albany, but what was the
establishment of the last couple, upon being
escorted to the supper room, to find eleven
other couples, the males all Legislators and
the females all pretty waiter girls. All 1e-
ligiously promised to keep the secret.
Next hight another party went out, and
with the same result, and, so it was man.
aged, until in one way or another enough
members had been caught in the net to in
sure the peaceful exit Of the bill.
But the secret leaked out, and gentle
man who had evidently not been caught,
introduced resolution of enquiry. The ut.
most indignation was expressed that only
common rumor should be the basis of such
a resolution legislative virtue was sustain
ed the girls went home; and every man
after that was afraid to speak of the Waiter
Girls Bill for fear he would be suspected
with the rest.
