DIR. NicholIs.-We call attention I

DR.. Nicholls.-We call attention to
the advertisement Of DR.. Nichols, En-
glish Specialist. in this paper. The Cum
borland, Hagerstown and Frederick City
papers are unanimous in awarding great
praise to DR.. Nichols for his skill in treat
ing different cases while in those cities.
We quote the Frederick City Times Of Feb
ruary 23d:
"Dr. Nichols, the noted English spe-
cialist, who has been in this city for the
past six weeks leaves for other fields of
usefulness. While here DR.. Nichols has
treated absolutely hundreds of people,
suffering with all manner of maladies and
has brought out OF diseases and pain to
ease and comfort many sufferers. He has
met with wonderful success and twice
was compelled to prolong his stay among
us by the rush Of patients. No case is re-
ported in which he did not either cure or
afford relief. If possible he will return
to Frederick next year. He is commend
ed to the press and the people as relia bic
in every sense Of the word"

A Real Virginia Wedding

Trinity Episcopal Church, on Thursday
evening, was made to witness one of the
notable, fashionable and brilliant events
OF the matrimonial season in the marriage
Of Mr.. r. Powell Licklider to Miss Amelia
j. Eichelberger, the eldest daughter Of
D. S. Eichelberger, the editor of our es-
teemed contemporary, the Statesman.
South Queen street was astir with life,
fashion and gayety long ere the hour Of
the clock pointed to eight, and Trinity
Episcopal was filed to its utmost capacity
with all that beauty and fashion could
summon, all eager to catch glimpse OF
the bride and cortege which at the peal
Of the organ entered, headed by four
ushers, Messrs. Charles Young, Edward
Mckee, Arthur Gilbert and DR.. S.
Hedges, followed by four beautiful little
bridesmaids, dressed in white, each car
rying basket bouquet of flowers-Misses
jamie Boyd, Bessie Housworth, jamie
Faulkner and Boydie Faulkner, the lovely
bride OH the arm Of her stately father.
Reaching the chancel they were met by
the groom, Il. Powell Licklider, and d.
s. Eichelberger, Jr., as best man. Rev.
r. D. Roller, the officiating minister, then
began the nuptial ceremonies. Before
the altar stood large floral arch and bell
suspended in the middle, made Of white
flowers with tongue Of lilies, the letters
A. and =. on the chancel railing; candel-
abra in pyramid shape with a profusioh
of floral decorations.
The bride was dressed in a beautiful
white surah silk, cut pampedeur en- train
and trimmed with Spanish guipsure lace,
Ottoman ribbon and plastron of lilies Of
the valley, short paniers bordered with
fringe Of the same, and tulle veil-with
no other ornaments. The groom appear
cd handsome in the conventional black.
A quiet grandeur surrounded the scene,
corresponding with its solemnity. After
the ceremony the party returned to the
homo Of tho bride, where q sumptuous
banquet was prepared. The parlors were

help captive the flesting hours in amuse-
ments Of various kinds-the bride and
groom receiving the while the congratu-
lations of the many friends. The unre-
strained enjoyment and hospitality was
characteristic of ye olden time Virginians.

including some that were exquisite in de-
sign, such rs swinging silver pitcher.

Rau's Cave.-Work is rapidly pro-
crossing on the interior Of Rau's cave,
the new subterranean wonder, at Harper
Ferry. Last week Wheeling Register
reporter had an interesting chat with Mr..
G. A. Beuter, one Of the owners OF the
cave, who had received recent information
from there. Rau's caye is in Prospect
Hill, about mile above Harper's Ferry.
10 reach it at present one must go to Har-
perss Ferry and take the road over Boil
ivar Heights, making short and inter-
esting drive. 1t is supposed the hill IS
honeycombed with caves, connecting with
each other, and in this series new discov-
cries are being made every day. Rau's
cave consists of three principal caverns,
occupying space over mile in length.
Work is now being done on corridors to
connect them, and of such height as to
render passage from one to another easy
and pleasant. The distance is ITO feet,
the caves lying alongside of each other.
These caves are crystal caves, similar to
that at Luray, and the effect, when brill
liantly lighted, is grand and striking. AS
usual there are bridal chambers, Gothic
cathedrals, echo caverns, art galleries,
crystal palaces, and so forth, besides nu-
merous pillars, columns and domes with
out number. The stalagmites and stalac-
titles assume all sorts of grotesque and
beautiful forms, and from Mr.. Beuter's
account the cave must be a thing of beauty
and joy forever. AS soon as the cave is
ready for visitors, which will be about
the end of July, the Baltimore and Ohio
authorities will erect q depot at the spot
and make it q first-class station.

How Garfeld's Home Looks Now.

1t was blustery dav when your cor
respondent arrived at Mentor. after a
sleigh ride of six miles from gainesville
over a level road, bordered BY farm
houses thick enough almost to form a
village. No one was at home but Mr.
Rudolph, father of Mrs. Garfield. and
two grandsons, bright little fellows of )
and Z. Mrs. Garfield lives in Cleve-
land, but the Mentor homestead re-
mains about as il was, inside and out,
and is occupied by her father and
mothers family. In the hall stands
grandfather Clock the only ancient
piece Of furniture / saw about the
house. While our party sat around the
hall baseburner, Mr.. Rudolph, the
father of the Presidents wife. Slipped
off to the shed, split some wood and
kindling, and made fire on the andi-
rons in the reception room. Was the
like ever known, but in q republic?
With what contempt would a Britisher
view such a proceeding on the part of
one of the royal household! When the
fire was kindled he sat and chatted of
various matters in a quiet, intelligent
and modest way, not at all abiding to
his connection with the late most dis
tinguished citizen of the republic, nor
in the slightest degree showing a con-
scious sense of the elevation of his fam
lily, or desire to make an exhibit of
anything about the premises. Here was
fair type of republican simplicity.
Looking at US from the wall was a
striking portrait of General Garfield
painted by a New York artist To me
it seemed an excellent likeness, yet
there were points about it that did not
satisfy the friends. They said it was
painted. however, in marvelously
short time, the artist beginning at once
with the brush without previously
sketching or measuring. Just over the
upright piano hung small painting of
Mothers Bible,' with her spectacles
upon it. In the hall ia a portrait of
Washington, and at the head of the
stairs one of Lincoln. Near Lincoln's
is steel portrait of Bismarck, with the
grnf old Germans autograph attached;
