There arc q number Of ladies teaching In our

incomes and who are abunaantly able 70 support them
with applications tor situations from unmarried ladies
who are thoroughly qualified to teach and actually need

This is an intimation that tho married ladies
whose husbands have excellent incomes should
be made to retire and give place to applicants
who are destitute. Such requirement would
10 unjust and unbusincsslikc. 1t would DO
equally proper to require all men teach
crs whose wives have excellent incomes to
20 home and live in idleness. A married
woman whose husband Ia abe TO support her
but who has the energy and Independence TO
work for her own support, Is very likely to be
possessed Of other qualifications well hitting her
10 be q teacher Of the young. Here, in America
work is the normal condition Of every one. No
one should be condemned to idleness merely
because he or she could live without work 1t
is safe to say that large proportion Of the best
business men and business women u the coun-
try could live in more or less comfort or luxury
without work. But that is no reason why tho
country should be deprived Of the benefit Of
their experience. their energy and their talents.

The Kemney Meeting.

Boston, Aug G.-The following were tho
resolutions adopted at the Kearney meeting
last night -
"Whereas this republic, instituted for tn e
avowed purpose Of advancing and conserving
the interests of the mass, has been reduced to
plutocracy that employs the republican and
democratic parties 10 the perhdlous work or
establishing theiVing monopolies and class
privileges, that sap the blood Of the national
industries, so that it can be Tapped up by the
vampires Of capital; and,
Whereas all laws enacted that are not in the
direct and open interest of the producing and
labor classes are crime against the spirit and
and prosperity of this republic, for which the
legislator should be branded with the infariy
of criminal imprisonment; and,
Whereas Infamous, if not criminal, class
legislation has been heaped upon the Industries
Of the nation by political parties until the
burden has become the torture OF the masses,
from which there is 90 escape, except by unit
ing the mutual interests Of the producing and
laboli1g people of all classes 10 such political
action Us will give them their righttul control
Of state and natiooa! legislaton privileges Of
which they have been plundered-and thereby
restore this government to the just and lofty
purposes for which it vas Instituted by our
patriot fathers.
Therefore be it resolved by the citizens Of
Boston, 10 Faneuil Hall assembled, That it is
in the highest and truest interests Of
all the Industrial classes in New Fog
land that they should extend hearty
and cordial and uoited support to Dennis
Kearney, the great and efficient apostle OF
the laboriug classes of California who comes
among them for tho noble purpose of uniting
them as he has united their brothers in his
Owe State, ia tba! political action which IS ne.
cessary to restore this Government to the just
and humane principles for which it was insti.
tuted, so that the prosperity Of this people may
be recalled and firmly established.
Kcarney in his haraa9ue last night used much
of his vocabulary to villly the associated press.
Reading from the San Francisco Chronicle
dispatch, be attributed it to the ted press.
No such dispatch was sent from this Office.
The only dispatch VIC have sent, beside simple
announcement of his arrival and the programme
for the meeting lass night, was the report of
an Interview between Butler and Kearpcy
furnished by Kearney's private secretary and
afterward peddled out to the morning papers
for five dollars each by said secretary.

Correspondence of the Alexandra Gazette
WARRENToN, Va, Aug. 5, lS7S.-lt was
my pleasure to attend, last Thursday evening,
a most gloriousIy fashionable and grand party,
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Ii. r. Garden to their
bright little friend, Miss Erya Payne This
was Miss P. debut in society Her bright and
cheerful face en- this happy occasion was com
mented upon by all present. AS she stood by the
side OF Mrs. G.. to be presented to the guests
of the evening / could but feel that saw the
real, true picture Of happy youth stepping into
rich, blooming womauhcod. Dressed in white
silk, with richly embroidered carleton overdress,
and moving in that smooth, graceful style, she
became, ere many hours of the evening had
passed. the very cynosure OF all eyes OF taste.
Mrs. G.. was very becomiDgly dressed 10 blue
silk, and seemed highly delighted TO sec all
around her happy. Her effort was grand sue
cess. All who know her can appreciate the
fact that she fully understands the young mind,
what is enjoyable to it, and the art Ct securing
that enjoyment Miss M. NJ, the partner OF
our skillful and accurate German leader MIR.
G. G., was dressed 10 blue silk. Her digni6ed
carriage, imposing beauty, and impressive smile
made all engaged men hold their hearts. Mrs.
NJ. was there, with her usual beauty, dressed
n lavender silk. | sat almost enraptured
when the eighty odd couples, gorgeousy attircd,
moved off 10 Simultaneous glide to The soft,
pleasing strains of Weber. A host Of Strangers,
beautiful too, gathered there to drink Of the
deep enthusiasm of the occasion. The room
was beautifully decorated, having in front Of
the stage, upon which supper was served, a
perfect pyramid Of most delicate and select
flowers 10 vases, arranged at short intervals,
with brilliant lights between, presenting at o
little distance the appearance Of o large bed Of
roses on fire. Wines of every variety were ac.
cessiblo at all times thy tell me they were
delicious, that their favor would have boon
paIatabIe to a Bacchus, and the effect of it
pleasant enough to have deserved the high
praise Of an Anachrian. Supper was served
about half.past o'clock, and all that taste
could desire was found in greatest prolusoo.
The German commenced Immediately after
supper, and the felioitous whirl was begun,
which lasted until day intruded upon the pleas.
urable night, when all reluctantly weDded their
way homeward to their little beds, to think OF,
rather than forget the enjoyment Of this mem.
