American Progress.

The lower strata of the population
of our country, says Charles A. Speer,
is composed almost entirely of het-
erogeneous mass of emigrants, who
hail from almost every country I'M
der the sun. Irish, Germans, Swed-
es, Norwegians and Poles compose
almost the whole of our laboring
classes. This fact is in itself signifi-
cant of the elevation Of the masses of
native born Americans. A prominent
manager in one of our largest West
ern iron mills informes me that on
his laborers' pay roll there is not
single native born American, while
his whole quota of civil engineers.
machinist, mechanics, blacksmiths.
and almost all positions where skill
and intelligence are required, are fill
ed by Americans.

an American before a person of any

Englishman, born and and raised
among English workingmen, and a
man of wide experience among work
men of all classes and nationaities.

Fifth Regiment will probably sup

Maryland troops will he under the
immediate command of Gen. Her
bert, who will be accompanied by his
full staff of officers. The out-of-town
companies will be formed into two
battalions of five companies each, and
will be under the command OF the
senior captain, unless an election for
field officers should take place prior
to October Is. All mounted officers
will take their horses with them.
Gov. Hamilton will be in camp one
or two days. but Adjutant General
Watkins and the governors staff
will probably be there the whole
time of the encampment. The troops
will be gone seven days. The cost
per day for the No. l rations, con-
sisting of beef, bacon, vegetables, etc.,
will be about forty cents. Of course
each mess can buy oysters and fish if
they wish to haye those extras.
Each company will be permitted to
carry two servants. The military
companies which will go to York
town, as announced by Gen. Her
bert, are as follows: Fifth Regiment.

Maryland Military for Yorktown

Brigadier General James r. Her
bert will in few days issue an order
to the State militia announcing that
the various military organizations
throughout the State intending to
take part in the Yorktown centen-
NAL celebration will be required to
report Saturday, October Is, in this
city, at the City Hall, where they
will be formed into line, ami with
the Fifth Regiment, of this city, pa
rade some of the principal streets.
This, strictly speaking, will be the
regular law parade. after which, at
O'Clock that afternoon, they will all
embark on the steamer Mason L..
Weems, at Light-street wharf, and
start to Yorktown, where they will
arrive early Sunday morning. The
tents will have been erected, fioored
and all arranged for the reception of
the troops prior to their arrival. The

A fresh and curious illustration of
the necessity for precision in drawing
up a will has just been afforded by
the latest testament of the late Mat
thew Vassar. 1t is known that he
intended to divide seven thousand
dollars among seven churches in
which he felt an interest. but by a
little mistake he has in effect bestOw-
ed upon them seven times seven.
This was done by the inadvertent in
sertiOn of the word "each," so that
the will bequeaths not seven but for
ty-ninp thousand dollars. II would
be a nice question in casuistry to de
eide whether under the circumstances
the churches would be morally justi-
fed in taking advantage of their ben
efactOr's slip; but probably the per-
sons interested will not have much
in persuading themselves
that it is incumbent upon them to
take the benefit of the doubt.

The Anti-RingiteS "Enthused."

A change has come over the dreams
of the leaders as well as the rank and
file of the O. l.. DPS. The first noti-
fication OF the Governors intention
to retain in Office the registers of
voters accused of incapacity and mis-
conduct aroused in them feeling of
hostility against the present occupant
OF the gubernatorial chair, and for a
moment discouraged them in their
political warfare against the ring
bosses. But upon the sober second
thought wiser eounsels prevailed.
and they have agreed, in solemn
conclave, to give Governor Hamilton
another chance before repudiating
him as one of their leaders. This
conclusion was reached at a meet
ing held Friday night at Covenant
Hall, corner Howard and Lexington
streets. which was attended by all of
the 0. l.. D. candidates who have
accepted the nominations of the Com
mittee of One Hundred texcept Mr..
Whyte), and also by the members of
the latter body, there being present
altogether about one hundred and
fifty persons. The meeting was called
especially to slider Governor Hamil-
toms decision. The majority of those
IN attendance looked grave and
solemn before the meeting opened.
They openly expressed their disap-
probation of his conduct, and thought
that there was sufficient evidence to
warrant the removal of the registers.
But 1t soon became known that i'm

Woman's Duties Meyer End.


The question as to how many hours
constitute days work is one with
which most people are familiar. 1t
has been fought over by at least two
generations, with the result that the
working day has been reduced from
thirteen or fourteen hours to ten,
with benefit to both employer and
employed, and as not one man in
dozen can work even ten hours day
without saving himself in morning
in order to last until six in the even
ing, the chances are that the eight
hour movement will finally succeed.
But although in the field and shop,
New England mills excepted. a days
labor for men is included in ten
hours. what has woman gained by
the labor agitation No one woman
in hundred works in store or fac
tory her duties, either as mistress
or servant, are performed in the
home, and there is no exaggeration
in the statement that they meyer end.
From the lighting of the kitchen fire,
or the waking of the children to the
extinguishing of the last light in the
house, woman's brain and hand must
be busy. and wealth generally in.
sezeases her labor instead of diminish
ing it. The shop girl has her work
assigned to her; she has only to be-
gin, without any forethought, at a
stated hour and end at another, but
every successful mistress of house
hold, small or great, must combine
the qualities of designer, oyerseer
and workman, and realize that not
only property, but health, and life
itself are in one way or other serious
~ affected. by her work. Perhaps
niEety-nine women in hundred fail
to realize the RESPONSIBILITIES of their
position but, all the same, their
work must be done. How it is done
every careful observer knows; in
spite of health, love and money, the
most fortunate classes of the sex are
generally composed of women who
are practically used up before men of
the same age have even reached their
prime. The finest looking specimens
of manhood, in every class, are to be
found among men between the ages
of thirty-fiveand fifty. but how many
comedy women can be found even
among those who have comprised
only the smaller number of years
mentioned above? The home work
of woman, whether she be wife or
servant, needs revision if only
genius can enable a person to be at
the same time master and servant,
nurse and ruler, then genius in this
direction, if there is any. should
make itself known for the fienefit of
those who are fighting magnificentIy
against overwhelming odds. With
"a sIighter physique than man, a
physique that is occasionally subject
to peculiar duties to which that of
man can offer no parallel, woman is
expected to daily endure strain
that no man would tolerate for any
length of time. Until what is mod
estly called housekeeping is recog-
nized us the noble science that it
really is, and is carefully studied.
the slaughter of women by overwork
will continue, for at present it re-
quires that every woman shall be
prodigy of sense, industry and en-
durance.

Sleep for Children.

If you would preserve your chill

children in their teens, eight hours
of quiet sleep is generally enough,
but do not restrict them to fixed
hours in midsummer there should
be siesta corner in every house,
lounge or an old mattress in the cool
est mock of the hall, or hammock IN
the shade of the porch, where the
little ones can pass the sleep-inviting
afternoons. Nor is it necessary TO

when all nature awakens from the
torpid influence ofthe day star sleep

THE NEXT LUNAR ECLIPSE.

About l o'clock on the morning of June II,
Washington time, there will begin total eclipse
of the moon which will last an hour and twenty
one minutes. Ecipses of the moon, as writer
in The Boston Adrertiser points out, are gen
orally little valued by astronomers, because the
times Of the contacts cannot usually be 0scer-
taiued with the required precision but it is prob
able that the eclipse of June IL will not be neg

easily seen with the aid Of small telescope, or
even an opera glass, ~ the light of the moon
during the eclipse will be greatly diminished
but not wholly destroyed by the earth.
The next total eclipses Of the moon will be on
April 10, 1854, visible III California, and Octo-
ber Ii, 1854, the latter part of which may be
seen in New England; but during the continu-
ance of both of them there will not be any oc-
