Encouraging Matrimonr.

There is in Cincinnati National
Association for the Promotion of Mar
riage." Its constitution says: "We
have viewed with alarm and the deepest
concern the rapidly-growing tendency of
the people of the, country, particularly
those living in the larger cities, to remain
unmarried-a condition unnatural and
prjudicial to the welfare, success and
happiness of the country; therefore, to
correct this evil, we do establish and
organize a society,"" The aim of the So
ciety is declared to be Sin all honorable
ways to promote the marriage of citi-
Zens; and to secure such an end this
society will, so far as in its rover, assist
and give material aid to young couples
in beginning married life, such as help
ing them to secure homes and the hus-
bands in getting employment, or in any
other manner within the province of the
association" The society has not been
long enough in existence to afford the
means of judging of its practical value.
1t held a picnic recently, at which the
attraction was the marriage of three
couples; but it was not claimed that the
mating had been brought about in any
unusual way. Six thousand persons paid
twenty five cents each for admission, and
there was a great deal of dancing and
beer drinking. The marriage ceremony
was performed on a high platform, so
that all could see. The bridegrooms
were an engraVer, painter and ped
dler, and the newspaper reporters gal
lantly described all the brides as beau
tiful,

derneath the ground at that point is the
total absence of vegetable fife. Stones
on the surface of the ground are so hot
that they cannot be held, and snow is
melted as fast as it falls. During rainy
weather the surrounding country is en-
veloped in dense clouds of fog that rise
from the overheated earth. The fire has
now burned across the top rock and into
a dirt vein, or vein of soft coal, where it
may last for many years. During the
early part of Mr.. McGinnis' connection
with the mine, it was noticed that the
water oozing into it from the levels
above bad the effect of DESTROYING the
miners shoes as soon as they caTae in
contact with it. The water was not un-
pleasantly warm, and the men found
that if wound was washed with it q
speedy cure followed. The curative
qualities of this water soon became
known, and hundreds of people fiocked
to Coal Castle during the summer of
1858 to test its merits. Remarkable
cures of rheumatism, scrofula and other
diseases are said to have been made, and
consequently the water attracted a good
deal of attention all over the country,
and hundreds of barrels oft were sent to
Philadelphia, New York, Boston and
Baltimore. A regular physician estab-
lished himself near the burning mine,
lighthouses were erected, and for several
months the place was filed with stran-
gers. After the mine was abandoned,
however, and left half full of water, it
was difficult to obtain the mineral water
that performed the cures, and the place
began to lose its reputation, the doctor
left for parts unknown, the shipments of
water ceased and one by one the visitors
departed. The water is still held in high
regard by. many people, aud, being

Sunny Days.

Oh, sing Of sunay days, dear heart,
Withhope and courage golden,
When all the treasures OF our lives
Were in the future holden.
Sweet days long gone!
Life's shades draw onl
Hold fast my hand, we near the strand
Where our true hearts must sever,
But looking backward DER the land
That we have trod together,
Wen sing a song of the happy days
Whose sunshine streamed across our ways
Yes, sing, old friend, of the sunny days;
Sing low, sweetheart, while cool the haze
Creeps upward from the misty river;
Sing softly Of the gladstone days,
Sing softly, love, forever.
Oh, sing OF sunny days, dear heart,
Bright in the land before us,
Where, without'cloud OF doubt between,
Gods smile warns ever DER us.
Sweet time to he,
We welcome thee
While hand in hand we near the strand
Where our blent lives must sever.
Our eyes are to the living land
Our parting, not forever,
Our hearts sing glad of glorious days
Where love shall beam on all our ways;
Sing, friend, with me, of the sunny days;
Sing clear, sweetheart, while soft the haze
Waits o'cr us from the narrow river
Which parts us from the rcstiul days
OF Gods undimmed forever.

1t had been partly burned with others, but
had been carried up the chimney by draft

Concert and Christmas Festival.

Concert and Christmas Festival,
The annual concert and Christmas festiya
of the Liederkranz society took place last
evening at their hall, corner of Ninth and
Exchange streets. The hall was denselv
packed with friends of the society and stand
ing room was at q premium. A large Der
centage of those present were children. for
whom the festival was gotten up, and the in
termlnable but not unpleasing buzz of CO.
mingled voices was at times almost deafen-
ing.
An evergreen tree occupied the centre of
the room, handsomely trimmed with orna-
ments and brio-a-brac of every IMAGINABLE
description, the effect being thoroughly
pleasing. The pedestal of the tree Yves load
ed with packages of confectionery, which
were distributed to the children after the
concert. The musical programme was ad-
mirably arranged and the concerted numbers
were given with delightful effect, under the
leadership of Prof. Kerker.
The programme consisted of songs, con-
certed numbers, which were rendered by q
mixed chorus, and . defamation entitled
"The Joy of Christmas" which was given
with appreciative effect by Miss Kerker.
Eighteen selections were rendered, all of
which were in such good taste as not to call
for adverse criticism. An address was given
by Prof. Kerker, who spoke eloquently of
"The Christmas Tree of the Germans in
America.''
A supper followed the distribution of
gifts, and the party dispersed thoroughly
happy.

The Sentence of the Reno Court Martial
Owing to the delay in publishing the re-
suit of Major Marcus A. Reno's court-mar-
tial, the supposition is entertained that the
proceedings have gone forward to Washing
ton for review. In this event the sentence
has been dismissal, as finding of guilty un-
der the charge, "Conduot unbecom-
ing an officer and gentleman" makes
tho imposition of such sentence OBLIGATORY.
But the old saying, appearances are decep-
tlve' may find another verifcation in Major
Reno's case. The presumption is fair that
his case hasn't gone forward, but is being
reviewed at department headquarters, In this
event Major Reno has not been found puilty
of "conduct unbecoming-an officer and gem
tleman,' and it is not unlikely that the mat
tor has been compromised by finding him
guilty Of conduct prejudicial to good order
and military discipline" If this latter be
the finding, Major Reno is not dismissed
from the army, and this may be
considered fact, as the case is yet at de.
partment headquarters. In view of the state
ments above, and the fact that much time
has elapsed since the court adjourned, and
the proceedings reached department head
quarters, the inference is fair that Major
Reno's sentence is severe one. How Gen.
Terry may act upon the matter, of course,
cannot be made matter of conjecture, az
IN such matters he keeps his own counsel,
