hood, in every class, are to be found
among men between the ages of 81
and so, but how many comely women
can be found even among those who
have compassed only the smaller num-
Der of years mentioned above? The
home work of women, whether she be
wife or servant, needs revision if only
genius can enable 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 benefit Of those who are
fighting magniticently against over
whelming odds. With slighter ply
sique than man, physique that is oc-
casionally subject TO peculiar duties to
which that of man can offer no parallel,
woman is expected to daily endure a
strain that no man would tolerate for
any length of time. Until what is mod
estly called housekeeping is recog-
nized as the noble science that it really
sand is carefully studied, the slaughter
of women by overwork will continue,
for at present it requires that every wo-
man shall be prodigy of sense, in

Most people have notion of what
homesickness is. many have suffered
from it, but it has been left to distin-
ghished French physician to classify it
as an actual disease. Mr.. II. Rey finds
that it is uncommon among children and
old folks, and more frequent among men
than women. Those who are most liable
to it are the young conscripts drawn
from the country who Join the infantry.
Town lads are too accustomed to change
and hustle to be readily susceptible,
while the cavalry soldier is supposed to
be too busy to have time to devote much
attention to home and its concerns. DIR.
Rey consider nostralga THAT is, homesick-
messy q form of insanity. It's symptoms
are that the patient become sad and
forbears to eat, retires to weep solus
cum solo, and gives himself up to rev.
cries of home. In the second stage, he
wears the aspect of ill-health, suffers
from headache and sleeplessness, and
should the disease advance, delirium,
prostration and decay set in, terminal
ing in death. Occasionally veterans also
are afflicted with the malaiy. This gen.
orally happens when fighting has to be
done in retreat, in the bitterness of de-
feat, when they feel forsaken, cold, hun
cry, when they have to sleep on damp
ground, .agonized from thirst caused by
their wounds, when they are taken pris-
oners, and become familiar with the
strange bedfellows that misery acquaints
them within these circumstances,
utterly downcast and disheartened, the
old soldier thinks of his home, his aged
parents. his wife and BARNS, with KEEN
est liveliest memory, and q severe attack
of Nostalgia is added to the other all
ments Of which he is already the victim.

SEVERAL weeks since two gentle
men visited our sanctum, and in
formed us that they were in our
city for the purpose of trying to in
troduce, what certainly would be
great convenience and saving of
time and labor to our business men;
viz. the telephone system, which is
in successful operation in all of the
cities, and in many of the towns of
the country.
We were most favorably Impress
ed with the business like and frank
manner of these gentlemen. They
informed us that they had inaugu-
rated the system in Cumberland;
about three months previous with a
subscription list of twenty-five per-
sons, and at that time had one hun
dred subscribers already furnished
with wires, and many applications
W D0 lllleu.
Their proposition as explained to
us, was, that they would establish
telephone system here if they
could get twenty-five subscribers to
begin with. Several parties have
expressed their willingness to sub
scribe. The cash would be merely
nominal when compared to the adj
vantages gained. 1t does seem to us
that there ought to be twenty-five
business men in our midst, who
would be sufficiently alive to their
interest and convenience, to sub
scribe to such a laudable undertake
ing.

HYNEN's VICToRY.-One of the
most notable weddings of the season
took place last Tuesday evening at
the residence of the brides parent
on East Burk street. The occasion
was the marriage of Miss Helen
Turner, only daughter of John Tur-
ner, Esq, to Mr.. Charles Anderson.
The bride is a bonnie blonde, of
petite figure, and was attired in a
blue silk costume, artistically
trimmed and adorned with natural
flowers. The groom wore a black
dress suit, and both made a hand
some appearance. AT $50 p. M, the
happy twain, accompanied by the
bridesmaid, Miss Lulu Cunningham,
and the groomsman, Mr.. Thomas
Ahern, entered the parlor and pro-
ceeded to the centre, where was sus-
pended q beautiful floral wreath,
made of lilies, q la mode the horse
shoe, emblem Of good luck" The
CclclnOlly WdS db OuCc pIOCccutu
with, and was conducted by Rev.
Father Mahony.
Congratulations being rendered by
well-wishing friends, they repaired
to the dining room, where sump-
tu0is repast was spread, which was
heartily enjoyed by all present. The
banquet over, they returned to the
parlor where they were entertained
by several fine selections of music,
rendered by Miss Lulu Cunningham,
bridesmaid, as pianist; Mr.. Holly, of
Baltimore, as violinist, and Mr..
Messman, as cornetist, forming the
orchestra. The bride was made the
worthy recipient or many elegant
and costly presents. The night was
spent in Joyous festivity.
May the sweet remembrance and
tender associations Of this happy
event follow them down their after
days, cheering and solacing them
whilst facing life's dread difficulties
and stern realities on the great sea
of life. The welded couple left next
day on the 7:30 train, over the G.. v.
railroad, for Philadelphia, where
they will remain for some time.
