Abingdon.
The affair was an important episode In
Petersburg society. A number of young
ladies aud gentlemen were present and
took part in the festivities. The bridal
presents were displyed and were numer-
Gus and handsome.
Mr.. Barr is prominent young lawyer,
of Abingdon, and descendant of an old
family in that portion of the State.
Our acquaintance with him is recent,
but we found him genial and gentleman
ly in his maners ard made quite favor
able impression on the ladies and gen.
tlemen who met him here.
The bride is lady of rare culture
and refinemet. A representative South
ern woman she is, whose womanly Writ
ues and christian fidelity to principle
have made her very gem in Petersburg
society, and she viii give caste and tone
to any society which she may enter.
Her relied ideas of propriety and nice
distinctions between right and wrong
have eXerted salutary influence over
many gentman friends here, and they
bring one charge her--she went off and
married another man. We all refuse to
be comfoted but we give her our best
wishes for long life of joy and use

The North american ReUiets for Decem-
ber is in all respects good number
The writers without exception are men
eminently competent for the tasks as
signed to them, while Of the subjects
discussed, there is not one which does
not possess living interest. Indeed,
were one called upon TO ehumerlte the
contentious that are to-day exercising
mems minds, those treated of In this
number of the Review would certainly
occur to him among the first. The most
important and most opportune Of all the
articles Is one by the Hon. John A. kas-
son, entitled "l'ho Monroe Doctrine In
1881" In this statesmanlike paper, or
pronounolamento, as Il might not lnapt-
w be called and Is certain to be regarded
by foreign publlclsts, the obligation OF
the United States government to eliectu-
ally assert It's supremacy throughout the
Western Hemisphere IL demonstrated
both by the arguments of authority and
precedent, and upon the grounds Of rea-
son. Then follows discussion Of the
Death Penalty, conducted by Rev. DR..
Cheever, Judge Samuel Hand and Wen
dell Phillips. The policy of Mr.. Glad-
stones Government toward Ireland Is
strenuously defended by Mr. II. o. Ar
d-Forster, son Of the Chief Sec
retary for ireland. This paper is con-
fessedly an appeal TO the Judgment and
the sympathy Of Americans In tbc strug-
gle now going ON across The Atlantic,
and Is y graceful, practical admission
that British statesmen are not indliier-
ent TO the enlightened public opinion of
the United States. -Four physicians and
surgeons of the first rank, namely, Drs,
w. A. Hammond, John Aehhurst, Jr.,
j, Marion Sims and John II. liodgen,
review the history Of President Garileld's
case. Finally the Hon. David A. Wells
treats of Reform In Federal Taxation.

Sunlight.

The sun, if you will only open your
house to him, is faithful physician,
who will he pretty constant in attend
ance, and who will send in no bills.
Many years ago glass was something of
luxury, but now we can all have
good sized windows and plenty of
them, at moderate cost, and there is no
excuse for making loop-heles through
which the sun can cast but half an eye,
and from which one can gain only mar
row glimpses of the outer world. | am
sufficiently acquainted with the con-
sentative character of many country
people, to know that expressions of
disdain will come from some quarters
when | mention bay windows. Never
theless bay windows are a good thing.
Their effect is very much like letting
heaven into ones house; at least it
ought to be like that, for it is nothing
but absurdity and wickedpess to dark
en- such windows with shutters OF heavy
curtains until only a struggling ray of
sunlight can be seen.
If bay windows are too expensive,
very desirable substitute can be had
by placing two ordinary sized windows
side by side, with wide, capacious
ledge at the bottom for seats or plants.
A room with a window like this cannot
fail to be CHEEKY, and its effect in a
simple cottage house is quite sumptu-
Gus. There is likewise in its favor the
fact that it is less exposed than the
deep bay window to outer heat and
