Country Employment for Women.

In an article last week, in the regular ed
itorlal colums of the Gazette, on the
"Wages of Women the reason assigned
for wages being so low is the labor market
is overstocked. If sewing women get only
ten, twenty, or thirty cents a day, il is be-
cause so many are pressing and struggling
TO get this kind of work to do. The true
remedy for the existing evil is to enlarge
womans sphere of labors.
In the suburbs of large cities there are
various kinds Of light outdoor labor that
may be made both pleasant and highly re-
munerative. In the raising of small fruits.
such as Strawberries, blackberlies, raspber
rles, grapes, &c, in the culture of yereta-
bles for market, in the poultry and egg bust
ness, dairying, etc, there is wide field
open for women to get an honorable and
good living. Whatever business woman
embarks in and becomes proficient in, let
her make a business of it. Let her not lool,
to matrimony as the chief end of woman's
existance. II man has his specialitv. NV
means Of which he feels independent let
woman, who aspires to like feeling of in
dependence, also have hers.
We witness with pleasure the recent Or
ganization tf the Young Women's Christian
Association. If this organization would
establish Christian Homes in the city SUBJ
urbs, with lands for gardening, fruit grow
ing and poultry raising, and invite needle
women to these Christian country homes,
what good might be done in rcscuipg
many one from want, misery and sorrow.
Such institutions might soon be made not
only entirely self-supporting, but also re-
munerative to each industrious inmate. We
would be glad to see the experiment tried. -

Marble Buildings in New York.

The number of splendid marble buildings
just completed, or IN course of erection in
New York at the present time-more espe-
cially on Broadway--is something to excite
the surprise and admiration of even those
who daily pass through the streets. The
building of the Equitable Life Insurance
Company, now going up at the corner of
broadway and Cedar street, will be proba-
bly, the most imposing and massive business
building in New York, and that of the New
York Life Corner of Leonard street and
Broadway,) the most graceful and beautiful.
The immense mass windowed marble, which
has been SO long going up on the corner of
Eleventh street, (west side of Broadway
has already been partially taken possession
OF by prominent dry goods firm. The de-
signs OF the great jewelry establishment of
Tiffany & Co.-the foundations for which.
on the site formerly occupied by DIR. Cheev
er's Church ofthe Puritans, are almost COM

ing structure for the further Establishment
of the metropolis, and of the Union SQUARE
in particular. palatial abode of MIR. A.
L. Stewart, now almost completed, on the
corner of Thirty fourth street and Fifth
avenue, will, when finished, have cost over
two millions, and rival, in every thing but
mere extent the royal palaces of the Old
World. But it would be impossible TO enn-
meiate one-half of the more prominent edi-
iices now in'the course of erection, while
the name for those}of secondary or minor
Importance is simply sslecion.

Malignant Disease on the Eastern Shor,
-MeRsIes-scarIatfua

The county papers of Cecil, Caroline, Queen
Anne's, Talbot, and Dorchester counties, on the
Eastern Shore, have for some weeks been noti-
cling the prevalence among the children of an un-
usually fatal type of "measles." From all the
circumstances, il seems more probable that it is
a disease similar In nature TO the severe type of
searlatina, which prevailed In Wilmington during
last fall and winter. The editor of the Cambridge
Democrat thus describes the cases of his children
"About six weeks ago, our four children, aged
respectfully IL, s, 81 and q years. were attack
cd with shivering, lassitude and fever Slight
purgcs and warm teas were given. In few days
measly eruption made its appearance, contin
uing on the surface for four or five days and then
gradually disappearing. None of the patients,
save the youngest, seemed to suffer ally great in-
convenience from this first attack Two weeks
after the child of 81 years was taken with chill,
followed the next morning with high fever.
His throat likewise became dreadfuly affected.
This fever continued to rage with unabated vio-
lence for three weeks, the poor victim lying on
his back and groaning In great agony. During
this time the eruption twice made its appearance.
On the ninth day after the fever set in, at2 o'clock
IN the morning, the child's extremiies suddenly
became cold He made an effort and turned over
in the bed, Fora few moments it was thought
he was breathing his last. A little brandy and
milk were forced between his teeth, and this mp
parcnty revived him. His feet and hands again
became warm and he raised himself in a Sitting
posture. In this erect position, without being
ahlc TO recllne his head either way, he remained
for seven days and nights, pantiNg for breath.
He was fed every two hours on brandy and boil
ed milk. Blisters, mustard cataplasms, fomenta-
tions, &c, with various medicines, were applied
and given him. AT the expiration of this dread
full week, another change came. He began to
rest his head on the pillows surrounding, and f.
nally regained recumbent position. Since then.
he has been slowly recovering his strength, but

A Real Romance.

rARDLEYvILLE MILLER-A PRETTY GIRL
FOUR SPANISH AssAssINs LOVE AND
MURDER.
The Enterprise, published at Newtown,
Bucks county, vouches tor the following, as
reliable -
Our readers will recollect the attempted
assassination of Samuel Temple, at Yard
leyville, he having been shot at three differ
ent times while working in mill. We now
have to record another phase in the myste-
rious business.
On Saturday morning last Mr.. John r.
Biting found letter under his store door,
addressed to Samuel Temple. When Tenn
pie came In it was handed to him, and he
opened and read it. 1t was afterwards
shown to and read by other persons. II
was dated at New York, March 90 contain
ing four pages, written in an excellent fe-
male hand, and signed "Viola," and the
substance is as follows:
Some two years ago she was riding with
an attendan. near Paramount Park, this city,
when the horse took fright and she was
thrown from her saddle, her foot being fast
in the stirrup. In this dilemma, Temple,
who happened to be on the road, came to
her assistance, disengagcd her, and thus
saved her life. That she is wealthy and
hiSniy cuucatcu, anu III Bfutlluuc 10 temple,
she was anxious to become his wife. She
shortly addressed two letters to him, ex-
pressing her gratitude and love, but Temple
disregarded them. Then determining that
no other woman should ever possess him,
she attempted his life and for the purpose
employed four Spaniard assassins, offering
each of them $1,000 to accomplish her OBJ
ject. That she wrote him the letter, re-
questing him to meet her at Bordentown.
She had concluded TO make no more attempts
at his life, but she had not an opportunity TO
get word to her hired accomplice before the
last attempt was made. That she intended
TO have an interview with him at Borden
town, but changed her mind and saw him
from second story window. That now
she is going to Europe and that he is in no
more danger, as she now has lost her love
for him, and would not marry him. Tenn
pie says he remembers the circumstance of
rcscuing the lady; that he asked her If she
was hurt she answered In The negative, and
they parted. He says he received the two
letters, but did not see proper to reply to
them.
The letter is in the same handwriting of
the one asking him to go to Bordentown,
and was in a white envelope. She stated
that she had employed person to carry it
from New York to Yardleyville.

The NEw YoRK INDEPENDENT declares,
with much posiivencss, that The cause "of
''lhc superabundant crime in Philadelphia, y
is the SYSTEM OF separate, or, as it prefers to
Term il, SOLITARY confinement in the
State prisons. To enforce this idea, il
declares that ''the men daily committing un-
usual crimes, in that city, are linen who
''have once or twice been mildewcd in the
dungeons Of the Eastern Penitentiary. =
All of which, so far as our knowledge ex-
ends, is quite mistake, as to facts. The
Pennsylvania system Of Imprisonment is
not SOLITARY it is not unemployed and
while il may, or may not--for we do not
express Il positive opinion--be'th the best, it is
us far as possible from being ''horrible" or
"atrocious" And so far as the history of
the recent criminals may go, certainly very
few Of them had ever been in a Pennsyl-
vania, or amy other pcnitcntiary. Including
Probst, aud coming down to the present
time, the convicts of murder have nearly all
been unknown to the Philadelphia records
of crime.

McMAkIs's HsTEL AT CARE MAY.-It was
stated some weeks ago, in our columns, that
Mr. John McMakin, Treasurer OF the Harlan &
Hollingsworth Company, had resigned that posi-
tion for the purpose OF conducting large hotel
at Cape May. 1t will be known US "McMakin's
Atlantic Hotel" The property has front of
GOO feet, within 80 feet Of the sea-shore and COM
pri=es seven or eight acres, and two very large
hotel buildings of capacity for 400 persons. Mr..
McMakin has removed his family there, and de-
signs remaining winter and summer, keeping the
house open all the year for persons requiring sea
air, or seeking summer cottages, erecting their
houses, &c. He has discarded bar room and
converts that into ground floor rooms for persons
un. ble to ascend stairs from illness or infrmity
Mr.. McMakin has purchased the full owner
thir of the property from the other members of
hle family, who have conducted it for many
years. i has the advantage of being nearest TO
the beach OF any house on the ISLAND, and with
all the experience and skill which will be shown
in its management, we have no doubt the enter
prize will prove highly successful, We cordially
commend the house to our readers, who visit
Cape May, this summer.
