A Mistake and Its Results.

Among the fictions with which society
chooses to beguile itself, is the one that
the only class of women who stand in need
of commiseration are spInsters. Society
and the world say to the maiden,ss "Attain
a husband and happiness will be yours"
and in spite of the manifold evidences to
the contrary, the felicitous condition of
wives is very generally insisted upon. One
has, however, but to occupy a position
which appeals to the confidence of wom-
en-pastor, physician or lawyer-to realize
how many hundreds of women are mis-
erably unhappy in their domestic rela-
tions. 1t is not that the husband. is brutal
or abusive; inthe majority of cases it is
thajhe is unsympathetic and selfcontained.
To the tender thoughtful devotedness of
the courtship and the honeymoon there
has succeeded complacent Indifference,
which results partly from selfishness, but
is in a larger measure traceable to his
training and his absorption in his bread
winning work, or his ambitious efforts to
make for himself a name. The wonder
is not that unhappiness is a not unusual
accompaniment of wifehood, but, taking
into account the traditions concerning
woman's nature and the general system of
education for girls, it is surprising that
there are any hsppy wives. From her
earliest youth it is instilled into the mind
of the girl that to love and be loved is the
end and aim of her life. To be self-reliant
is to be strong minded, and therefore un-
lovely, and she is trained to wholly de-
pend on others not only for material sup
port, but for sympathy and recreation, and
the less selfpoised she is the more femi-
nine is she pronounced to be. Her emo
tional nature is subjected to hothouse
cultivation, and forced to attain an abnor-
NAL development, while no such efforts
are made to stimulate her mental powers.
Although gifted with reason, she is taught
TO feel her way through life, the whole
tenor of her training being to leave her
without any resources within herself 1t
is not deemed advisable that she should
become devoted to any pursuit or profess

and "So cheap" and every other exclama-
ton of delight over new things to which
the feminine voice gives expression, min
gled in the chorus of admiration as the
ladies passed along examining and pricing
goods. There was too much of a crowd to
examine textures in cloths, but the novel
ties that the eye takes in at once, displayed
so that their beauty and value could at o
glance be seen, attracted constant atten-
ton. We thought they were very gener-
Gus to allow such fine laces, expensive
shawls, rich silks and other good things
to be handled so freely, but perhaps those
will be the customers who "felt" as we'll
as saw this choice display of goods.
We cannot too highly commend the
plan they have adopted of marking every
thing in plain figures, and the rule that no
deviation shall be made from those prices
under any circumstances. Old and young,
rich and poor alike, will buy at one price,
and so will be saved the time the endless
dicker and banter always consumes when
it is understood that prices are movable
and the lowest figure is obtained by the
sharpest and checklist and most persistent
customer.

MALLORY, yoPP & co.'s OPENING.
City Styles and Prices Brought to
Our Doors.
A Large Attendance and Brilliant
Display.

By great effort Messrs. Mallory, Jopp &
Co. were able 10 anticipate the time an
nounced for their opening sufficiently to
allow their Wellington friends an oppor-
tunity to look through their finely-selected
stock of goods on Tuesday evening. The
arrangement is very neat and convenient,
and in excellent taste, the effort being
rather to exhibit styles, qualities, assort-
ments and prices than to make a display
of fancy and expensive goods little in de-
mand and of less practical value Theirs
is the first stock ever opened in yelling
ton, dry goods being a prominent feature,
when. the general assortment which in
cludes all kinds of merchandise was dis
carded and only dry goods put on sale.
Following the more systematic methods
in vogue in larger towns, they have wisely,
we think, confined themselves to one line
of merchandise, that being ample to stock
even so large a store as the one they oc-
cupy. Their line is made up of dress
goods, silks velvets, shawls, embroideries,
laces, handkerchiefs, trimmings, hosiery.
gloves, underclothing, cloths, cloakings,
fiannels, linens, damasks, towelings, quilts,
blankets, housekeeping goods, ETC.; dis
carding boots and shoes, clothing, hats,
caps, groceries, crockery and hardware,
and everything that does not legitimately
fall under the one simple designation of
dry goods.
In looking through their stock we were
especially struck with the beauty and
completeness of their line of dress goods,
several styles of which are just coming
into use. Plush and velvet goods for
ladies' wear were greetly admired, and
ready-made white goo were both well
made and low in price. "How lovelyl''

Our Lakeside Correspondence.

LAKESIDE, o., Aug. 10, 1882.
To the Editor of the ENTERPRISE.
The event of the past week was the
23d o. V. l., known as the Hayes regi-
ment. Nothing save this reunion was
going on at Lakeside. The great null
titude had departed by Wednesday, and
comparatively speaking, g,everything had
dreary appearance. A sufficiency
remain however to keep up show of
life. Ex-President Hayes with wife
daughter and son arrived Tuesday even
ing and welcomed the soldiers as they
came in on the next day. At two O'Clock
Wednesday the first meeting was called
to order. 1t was of a business nature
throughout. Reports were heard from
various committees, the minuIcs of the
last reunion read and approved, letters
were read from Gen. w. S. Rosecrans,
Gen. Stanley Mathews and others re-
gretting their inability to be present,
and several matters were ATTENDED to.
Invitations were received asking the
23d to meet for the next reunion on the
at Denver, Col. Neither were accepted.
Lakeside seemed to have too many at
fractions for them and was chosen as
the place where the next annual meeting
should be held. The officers elected for
the following year are: President,
Gen. r. B. Hayes; Vice President, Gen.
Jas. NJ. Comfy, Alexander Stewart, j.
W. Foster, F. NJ. Kelley, Joe Howee,
John S. Ellen, Jacob -Beeler, Albert D,
Lang, J. N. 5. Crawford, Jalez Grayell
and Frank Stowe. Recording Secretary
Chas. A. willard Correspondence Secre-
tary, Ben Killane; Treasurer, j. l..
Chamberlain.
On the evening of the same day a
very enjoyable meeting was held in the
dining hall of the hotel. 1t was in
formal In its character. Stories of
camp life were told, songs were sung
aud good time was had generally.
No one seemed to enter with more gen.
uine spirit into the meeting than Gen.
Hayes and wife. As Mrs. Hayes spent
some time in camp she became a great
favorite with the boys, and no reunion
could be held without her presence.
Thursday was spent i'm variety of ways
One of the most amusing features
was drill in which the ladies took part.
Sticks, clubs, poles, in fact, most any
thing was made to answer the purpose
of guns. 1t was 4 very formidable line
which drew up in front of the hotel.
In the afternoon an excursion went to
the trip greatly. The soldiers scatter
ed yesterday after holding one of the
most successful reunions in their his
tory. Between seventy-five and hun
dred were present, some of them COM
ing hundreds OF miles. An old soldier
told us that his most pleasant days
were those few he passes year after
year with his old comrades, reviewing
experiences and going over old times
and scenes. The same is true, doubtless,
of very many.
The work of building cottages has
been resumed at Lakeside. A large
number are in various stages of compile
tion. The voice of the singer and
preacher is succeeded by the sound OF
hammer and saw. The houses now be-
ing put up surpass In every respect the
old cottages. Some approach elegance
IN their design and finish.
Next week the Hoffman Battalion
and the 12sth encamp here. a grand
time is anticipated. %+#

most foolish policy IN The world to take

Let yourself alone and you will come
out alright" These folks know nothing
about it, and may be trifling with your

EXPRESS ADVICE.
80 All whom it Concerns"

Now Christmas is comiugI Glad season of mirth
When of presents for loved ones there should b
Then let none be INSTRUMENTATION or friend,
That you may the holidays happier spend.
There's Nellie, poor child far away at SOM
Who cannot come homc-'tis, she writes, gains

Though seeming absorbed in some old classic
tome -4.
And both for your presence now lovingly yearn
As homeward the eyes of their hearts fondly turn
But all things considered, Loves impulse I'd curb
think that you'd best not their studies disturb
Exposure and travelling oft many ills bring;
Now Puck's counsel heed-'tis a a capital thing
All sorts of Corrections cigars and canned fruit
And Nellie must have rich nayy-blue dress,
And your darling old grandma, you must moi
But send her of seal-skin the han dsonest set.
And dear, aged grandpa, that needs SO much care,
You can sweetly surprise him with an inyalid's
No fears for their transit your mind need disire--
For safely they'll go by the SOUTHERN ExPREss;
There's Aunt Carries baby-the dear little pet
She thinks strange that no presents been sent Ior
Then INV an embroidered robe, kerchief and bib,
But such costly gifts you'll risk, confess,
If theE a.e- ~ the 9oUTHERi- EXPRESS

Don't O forget your friends and acquaintance
For though freighted their orchards with fruits
They have naught with our bright orange groves
to compare;
We've the pineapple, fig golden lemon and lime,
The beauty and bloom of the tropical cline.
But delay would soon spoil all such presents
They are speedily shipped by the souTHERs Ex-

Now one counsel more and said counsel viii end:

POSTAL SAVINGS RANKS.

The American people are apt TO earn
but are not wise to save" is a pregnant sen-
tence in the report of the Postmaster Gen.
etsl .lsteiy laid before Congress. Why peo-
ptssthat toll SO diligently to get money
should allow what they have obtained TO
clip away, is question worth considering,
especially when a common proverb among
The people asserts that, ait is not what a
man gets, but what be saves that makes him
rich" One Of the principal reasons for this
anomaly will readily suggest Itsetf 10 Uur
readers, and that lie, the want of readily
accessible and absolutely safe way of pre-
serving intact such surplus as the weekly i'm
come leaves. When money is kept in the
house it is safe neither from thieves nor FIRE.
What is worse, it is not safe from the owners
inability to refuse to satisfy some temporary
desire or need. When the surplus is at a
distance, and some trouble has TO be taken
to get hold of a portion of it, the owner
thinks twice before he breaks in upon his
hoard, and the second thought usually brings
safety. In time habit of saving
is formed, the fund becomes a sort
of sacred deposit 10 be intrenched
upon only when sickness or misfortune rem
ders it necessary, or an opportunity offers TO
expend it to solid advantage. In some
countries the postoffice is made the medium
OF saving. By very simple system money
can be put into or taken out of the postal
bank. With us the postofice is usually one
of the most accessible places in district,
and money placed there is placed in the
hands of the United States government, and
Is as safe ss the government itself. The re-
port of the Postmaster General recommends
that Congress adopt the postal savings bank
system, by which opportunity is given for ga
dollar to be deposited where it is secure from
the teaptations of the burglar, the thief and
the saloon-keeper." The proposal involves
no new experiment, the system has had full
trial abroad, has been found to involve no
DESTRUCTION to the usual postofice business,
while it has proved of incalculable beneftio
thousands of persons of limited means. Con-
gress certainly ought to take up the matter |
on its own striking merits, also because il |
would set free large amounts of gold now
boarded up from commerce and paying no
interest
