Helpful Women.

Even in Italy husbands are becoming
scarce, so that the Italian women are
learning to help themselves. Work is
not confined to the absolute poor; the
middle classes are bringing up their
daughters to learn trade or profession,
and to work at home and out of the
house. The idea has proved lucrative,
even in the speculation of marriage, as
a man naturally prefers a girl who can
earn her own living to one who can only
Jingle tune on the pianoforte or sing a
new songby Tosti, Denza or Rotoli. But
this is only in Upper Italy. In the
southern provinces the idea of women
working is laughed at. Even the
men there work as little as possible,
and they would rather try to live on a
franc day, without earning it, than to
have 1000 francs a day and work for
them. In Upper Italy, on the contrary,
even the aristocracy work, and show q
good example to the less-fortunate
classes,

one year, and perhaps longer. If the
amendment is voted down and the
bill passes as it came from the House,
it is quite sure to be vetoed by the
President. The letter of Secretary
Folger in opposition to this extern
sion of time is conclusive and ought
to settle the matter. The PROPOSE
tion to reduce the tax from 80 to so
cents per gallon was sat down upon
early in the session. It would have
reduced the revenue about $69, 000,-
600 per annum without benefitting
anybody but few distillers, and the
present proposition is almost as bad
as it gives power to accumulate in
unlimited quantities one of the
great staples of the country; it pro-
poses insufficient security for the
final payment of the tax; it renders
uncertain the national revenue upon
distilled spirits, and enables private
citizens to suspend collection of an
tax for an indefinite
period. Dom PEDRO.

Camp.

HEDGEsvILLE, May 4th, 1882.
Eds. Independent:
A visit to the Bark Peeling Camp
of Messrs. j. + Baker Il Co, situt-
three miles from this place, on the
West side of North Mountain, WAS
quite a curiosity to me, and may IN.
tertst some OF your readers.
A pleasant drive of half a. hour
brought me to the land owned 10y
this firm, where | found Mr.. J. E.
Baker, in his usual robust health
and good humor, and after a cordial
greeting he led the way TO the
Camp, where fifty men are employ
ed in the work of peeling Bark. a
number of men are engaged IN chop
ping down the timber, and after Il
large quantity has been cut down,
the choppers go over it, cutting the
bark in pieces four feet in length;
then follow the spudders, who, with
great skill quickly separate the bark
from the tree. A number OF boys
follow after the spudders and care
fully pile the bark in cord rows.
For the accommodation of these
men a number of cabins have been
erected of unhewn logs, closely
chinked and well covered, making
comfortable quarters. The cabins
are built in front of a beautiful
spring, half way up the mountain
side. The rules of the camp, which
are both original and amusing, are
read each evening by one OF its Jol-
ly members.
They expect to remain in camp
about a month longer, when the
men will return to their homes, well
and hearty, with their pockets full
of money. -.
Mr., jackson Height, an old citi-
zen of this vicinity, an employee of
j. +. Baker Dc Co., received pain
full wound at the camp from the I'M
expected breaking of a tree limb at
which he was at work last Monday,
which struck him on the face. They
sent him to the drug store OF DR.. M
5. Butler, in Hedgesville, where his
wound was dressed, and he is now
improving. VISITOR

Fine. genuine politeness, is one
of the most admirable traits in the
character of any enc, it is admir-
ed even by the most uncouth and
uncultivated. And they who
| passes this quality. though poor
in purse, will always find friends
at home or abroad. They are well
come into society, their company
is sought, parents point them out
to their childred as guides, in
short, they are beloved by all.
We are sorry that So few, compar-
atively, of our young people think
of the importance of this matter.
There are many who possess all of
the advantages of edueation; they
have access to refund circles; they
no doubt have proper training at
home, yet when they get out in
the world, they appear to forget
that there are any rules of polite
ness to be observed; they seem to
regard rudeness as shreWdness,
and practice it to the disgust of all
around them. Some act as if
home was the only place to be
courteous. This is a serious mis-
take, there is no place where this
virtue should be laid aside, it
should be observed when abroad
as strictly as at home. When we
are visiting, we should do all in
our power to Interest and please
those whose Inequalities we are
enjoying. If it should be in some
rural district, we should not make
remarks about the country, which
would be calculated to wound the
feelings of any of its citizens. We
should not make remarks about
the citizens because they do not
dress as they do in some other
places. We should remember
that dilapidated hat sometimes
covers a giant mind, and phil
anthrophie heart beats beneath a
torn vest. If we are in company,
we should not engage in tacit con-
versation with any one, that is,
We should not converse by signs,
and in this way make remarks
about persons in the company.
For example,; we should not pull
our ears, and in this way make
remarks about the ears of some
gentleman in the room. We
should not describe circles on our
forhead to make remarks about
the curls of some young lady. We
should remember that such ac-
tions never go unnoticed,and there
is always some one intelligent
enough to translate those signs in
10 language. Should this meet
the eyes of any who have been so
thoughtless as to engage in such
things, we hope they will read it
in kindness, for this is the spirit
ia which it Is written. G.

IMPOSING CEREMONIES
Laying a Corner stone.

According to previous announce
ment, the corner stone of the Mt
Zion NJ. E. Church, colored, Rev.
G.. r. Williams, pastor, was laid on

tural lesson, which was followed
with brief but pointed remarks by
Rev. Geo. V. Leech. A statement
was read by Rev. Williams, detail
ing the enterprise, it's inception land
hopes of final accomplishment.
The Presiding Elder, Rev. s. G =.
Griffin not having arrived, Rev. Mr..
Landstreet was called on and made
most excellent and practical adj
dress, and was followed by Rev. Mr..
Holland in few we'll timed and ap-
propriate remarks. At the close of
these exercises collection was TAX
en- up to aid in the work of building
the edifice, and quite a handsome
sum realized.
AFTERNOON.
AT half past two o'clock the mem
bers of Equality and Robert White
Lodges formed in procession on
Burke st in front of Equality lodge
room, and headed by the Mechanics
Cornet Band of this city, marched
to the church lot on Martin street,
where a large congregation of peo-
pie had gathered to witness the GER
emOnies.
The choirs sang an appropriate
hymn and Rev. Mr.. Donovan offer
ed up an earnest prayer. Rev. G.

aid in behalf of the church and Rev.
A. G.. Griffin followed with very
excellent and appropriate address,
at the conclusion of which the Ma
sons took position for their exercises.
At three O'Clock the stone was plac-
ed in position, under the direction

The ceremony was beautiful and
ELECTED the closest attention from
the large audience present.
The stone contained among other
things, paper with the names of
the county and corporation officers,
number of coins of various denom-
nations, and a copy of each of the
papers printed in the town.
The collections taken up during
the day in aid of the church amount
ed to over 5000.
The pastor and trustees of Mt.
Zion church deserve much credit
for their energetic efforts in pushing
the erection of their new church ed
ifice, and should receive the liberal
support of the community in their
worthy enterprise.

Decay of the Teeth.

The acids which cause the decay of
the teeth are conveyed in the secretions
Of the gums and the mucous membranes
Of the lips and cheeks, and the usual
points Of attack are in the interstieies
and the groves in the facial walls of the
teeth. The calcurlary nature Of saliva
is antagonistic to the acids, and pre-
serves the teeth from their dilapida-
ting influence. Teeth are protected
from disease by the following condi-
ditions: Their regular shape and order
that the situations for the deposit Of
acids be as few as possible; the conser-
yation of the teeth from noxious inhu-
encss by constant brushing; the healthy
structure of the tooth. itself, and the
mouth generally. Heider observes that
the yellowish white teeth are less sub
ject to the attacks of carries than those
of blush shade, the enamel
of the former being much harder, and
molars have been found to contain more
substance than the incisors.

Russian Police at Work

ST. PETERSBURG, juno %, 1882. The
police have seized thirty eight pounds
of nitro glycerine and 100 pounds of
dynamite in house searched yesterday
besides a quantity of bombs of the
newest pattern, ten of which were load
ed. Among the persons arrested are,
l understand, several naval officers and
a Jewess. 1t is said also that an oper.
eta singer is implicated in the plot.
The Major of Hussars arrested had for
some time been suspected and watched
by the police. Agents disguised as
coachmen followed him wherever he
went, and without knowing it he had
been driven about by his
spies. Latterly, too, he had unsuspect-
ingly made himself friend of the po-
lice agent, whom he was in the habit of
meeting at restaurant. Up to the
present time about eighty persons have
been arrested.
