WEST WASHINGTON.

In spite OF the crowds in the city yesterday,
the disorderlies OF West Washington were un-
usually quiet, and none of them required the
attention of the representatives OF the law.
The only occupants of the station house last
last night were four drummers of the turn
pike, who arrived in town too late to ind the
hotels open. Two of the boys were white and
two colored Most of the tramps now coming
TO town are from the South, and are on their
way northward, to seek more congenial
summer climate.
Mary Armiger, the white girl who was sent
to the hospital yesterday, is II native OF Vir-
ginia, and came here, she says, to visit
friends. She was but seventeen years old and
was exceedingly destitute and diseased, not
having found any one TO tako care OF her.
Much business Of Importance was attended
10 at the meeting of Hermtone Lodge, No. II.
X. OF p, last night. The meeting was we'll
attended.
This morning abont o O'Clock great excite.
ment was occasioned among the colored labor
ers at the Maryland Company's coal docks by
an accident to Priscilla Chase, alias Girls,
young colored female, who acts tho role of
belle among the canal employees. Priscilla
was wandering along the canal bank, when
she suddenly fell into tho water and sank.
Several men who saw the occurrence rushed
to her assistance, and when she
arose TO the surface, made an attempt
struggled yehemently, saying that she wanted
10 leave this world and go TO better regions,
and after fruitless struggle on the part of
the men she again sank. This time she re-.
mained under the water longer time, and
all hopes Of saving her were abandoned; but
while she was beneath the chilly deep many
others had collected on the spot, among them
a sturdy Maryland canal barge captain, and
soon as the almost lifeless girl again appeared
he secured her In his grasp and landed her
on his boat and afterward with the assistance
OF others placed her on terra forma. Priscilla
has been acting queerly OF late and many sup
poeed that she had become partially insane
and had attempted TO destroy herself by
drowning. Some OF her friends still hold to
this belief, but the whisky perfume in the VI
cnity Of the gentle ones mouth leaves little
doubt but that she was celebrating the arrival
OF the veterans aud drank too freely Of spirit
uous beverages for her own good. After ceces-
sary medical attention Priscilla departed aud
again commenced to drink and quarrel.
MIR. II. p. Gilbert, OF West Washington, who
has the contract for supply stono for the re-
clamaiion of The Potomac flats from tho
quarries above the Aqueduct bridge, Is rapidly
supplying his orders.
The funeral OF Mrs. Sarah Belnls took place
this afternoon at o'clock from Trinity church
and was largely attended. Father Raccofort
ofiiclated, and the remains we're taken 10
Holyrood Cemetery for interment.
Frederick Brooks, an aged colored man from
Fairfax County, Va, became suddenly sick in
the Market house to-day, and fell down. He
was taken Into the house OF a colored woman
near by, and after receiving medical attention
he again mounted his wagon and left.
In 1852 $4,000 passengers crossed the

s : : to Get Sleep.

Or. Selden H. Talcott. Superintendent OF
the N. Y. State Homeopathic Asylum for
the Insane, says that our national lack is
that of recurerating sleep. Against.the use
of the so-called hypnotics in massive doses
he protests, because the temporary bene-
fits are heavily discounted by the evil eff
fects which almost always follow. Two
conditions oppose the requirement of
sleep. These are hyperamia of the brain
stimulating it to undue activity, and
playing the part of whip and spur to
tired horse-and the opposite of hypera-
mia, excessive cerebral an@mia. To re-
iieve the former by rational methods, the
blood forces must be enticed away from
their persistent assaults upon the cranial
fortress" This can best be accomplished
by filling the stomach with solid food, thus
furnishing temporary engagement for
the pugilistic globules on other fields"
The food should be of the coarsest and
plainest, else the remedy might produce
an aggravation. Should excessive an@mia
exist, and state of nerve irritabilty and
trepidation be thus produced, take liquid
food, such as hot milk, beef tea, and
broths, about an hour before sleep Is in
tended. This is of peculiar value to per-
sons of sedentary habits, to those who
take too little exercise, and to those who
suffer from Inn perfect circulation.

sunshiny Husbands.

We read so much about the obligation
laid upon the wife to be perpetual sun
beam in the house that word to husbands
On the same topic may not be amiss.
A cheerful atmosphere is important to
happy home life. 1t is very hard for chill
dren to be good when they are exposed to
an incessant bailstorm of faultfndlng from
their parents. 1t is very difficult for
wife to maintain calm and charmingly
sweet demeanor when her husband is cri-
tical, cynical or sullen, and taxes all her
tender efforts with Indifferent apprecia-
tion.
know full well the air of polite amaze
ment, or amiable incredulity, with which
men receive the statement of woman's
opinion that in the home partnership the
wife, and not husband, pulls the laboring
oar. Still it is true that, let a man 3 business
be ever so engrosslng, ever 80 wearisome,
ever so laborious, the mere fact that he
goes to it in the morning and returns from
it at night sets him above his wife in ease
and comfort. For him the slavery Of
routine has it's breaks. He gets breath
of the world outside he has change of
scene daily; he sees people and hears them
talk, and his home is distinctly his refuge
and shelter.
Let wife and mother love her home
! and her children with the most absolute,
answering devotion, and serve them with
! the most unselfsh fidelity, there are, ne
vertheless, times when she is very weary.
She knows, betters than any one else,
the steps and the stitches, the same thing
done over and over, and the pettiness of
the trials that come to nursery and kitchen.
They are so Insignificant that she is
ashamed to talk about them, and fear
she sometimes forgets to tell her Saviour
how hard they press her, and go, bearing
her cross all alone, its weight becomes
crushing.
A sunshiny husband makes a merry,
beautiful home, worth having, worth
working in and for. If the man is breezy,
CHEEKY, considerate and sympathetic, his
wife sings in her heart over her pudding
and her mending- basket, counts the hours
till he returns at night. and renews her
youth in the security she feels of his appro-
baton and admiration.
You may think it weak or childish if
you please, but it is the admired wife, the
wife who hears words of praise and re-
ceives smiles of commentator. who Is
capable, discreet and executive. I have
seen tmid. meek. self-distrusting little
body fairly bloom into strong, self-reliant
womanhood, under the tonic and the cor
dial of companionship with husband who
really went out Of his way to find occasions
for showing her how fully he trusted her
| judgment, and how tenderlY he deferred
[ to her opinion.
In home life there should be no jar, no
striving for place, no insisting on preroga-
tives, or division of interests. The hus-
band and the wife are eacS the compile
ment Of the other. And itissanst as nnch
his duty to be cheerful as 1t Is hers to be
patient; his right to bring joy into the
door, as it is hers to sweep and garnish
the pleasant interior. A family where
the daily walk of the father makes life
festival is filled with something alike
