A FAST MAIL TO MARTINSBURG,

BY the new schedule of the Cumber-
land Valley Railroad, which took
effect Monday morning, new train
is added to leave Hagerstown at 7:45
Il. IN. daily except Sunday, upon the
arrival of the fast mail from Balti-
more. This train arrives at Martins
burg at S:i5, and will make the de-
livery of the Baltimore daily papers
two hours and twelve minutes earlier
than by the first train now arriving
at that point via the Baltimore and
Ohio road. There will also be close
connection with the Western Maryland
fast mail eastward, which leaves Ha-
gerstoWn at $50 a. M, bya train leav-
ing Martinsburg at a. M, and arriv-
ing at Hagerstown at S:45.
Though on direct line with Balti-
more, the people CT this section had
to wait until noon for the Baltimore
papers, now it is left for the Western
Maryland Railroad and the Cumber-
land Valley to bring us in the Balti-
more mail at S:45. The Western
Maryland Railroad management has a
care for the wants of the people along
its line and connections, and'shows a
remarkable enterprise that accounts
for the great success of that road.
Martinsburg connection with the
Western Maryland in the morning
is another great convenience that we
should have enjoyed before this. Elk
cellent through freight arrangements
have also been made between the
Cumberland Valley and w. NJ, by
which freight loaded in Baltimore
one afternoon will be delivered in
Martinsburg the next morning. These
roads deserve the patronage of our
people for their enterprise. The Mary
land Representatives in Congress
should see that the Western Mary
land gets that aid which is necessary
to Justify 1T in making the sacrifices
which the accommodations of the
public demand.

1t is strange that men sometimes
measure the intelligence and sense
of justice OF the general public so
lightly. In their attempt to crush
out all opposition, they pursue their
vengeful course into every sacred
precinct of honor and principle and
justice itself, never losing an occa.
sion Of showing and expressing their
hatred Ind jealousy. A seeing and
thinking public is never carried
away far beyond the lines of right
and wrong. There may be few
who can be awed and bulldozed, but
they are birds Of u feather. Even
tually even those few will think and
act for themselves. This, too, in
business life. Fair and square and
just dealing with the public will al
ways bring its own reward. This has
been experienced by us in the face
of all opposition. We have no fear
nor the least hesitation in leaving
our success and reputation in the
hands of the public. Right doing is
always encouraged. We are willing
to be led by the people, and when
ever we seek to driee them we for
felt all claim upon their respect and
support. THE HERALD shall con-
tlnue to pursue the even tenor of its
way, and endeavor to succeed by
merit alone.

The dynamite excitement in Lon
don has increased the intensity of
feeling against the Irish in England.
1t is strongly advocated that all
Irish employees should be discharg-
ed. There are thousands of Irish
mechanics, laborers and domestics
employed in England, who would
have to suffer for the offences of a
few radical revolutionists who hatch
their schemes in New York or Paris,
and in carrying them out do Eng
land less harm than they do the
already overwhelmed and afflicted
Irish. Turning these honest and
innocent people adrift into tho streets
of London would be adding fuel to
the fire. 1t is only the faithfulness
and usefulness of che Irish servants
that secure them employment, in the
face of the oft repeated declaration
that +" No Irish need apply" The
Baltimore american very justly adds,
that " wherever the flag of England
is carried to victory, there is usually
an Irish regiment somewhere near.
If the proposition were made to
discharge from employment the
Royal Irish Regiment, now march
ing across the desert from Korti to
Metemneh to reinforce the wounded
Stewart, the proposition would have
very few supporters. Where there
is dashing fighting to be done, nobody
says No Irish need apply.'n

Khartoum was captured by the
Arabian rebels on January 26. The
rebels entered the town by bribing
Gordon's troops. Ell Mahdi's force
was, according to reports, 10000
Gordon's was only $500. The fate
of the British troops is unknown.
but Gordon is generally believed to
have been killed. The excitement
over the affair in London is intense,
and a special Cabinet meeting was
called. Colonel Wilson, who went
to Khartoum to communicate with
Gordon, was compelled to retreat
down the Nile. His steamers were
wrecked half way between Khar-
toum and Metemneh. The stoker
who escaped told the story of the
assassination of Colonel Stewart and
his troops. The men were deceived
by the basest treachery.

Sweet Minded Woman.

So great is the influence of sweet
minded woman on those around her
that it is almost boundless. 1t is to
her that friends come in seasons of
sorrow and sickness for help and COM
fort; one soothing touch of her kindly
hand works wonders in the feverish
child; few words let fall from her
lips in the ear of sorrow-stricken sis
ter do much to raise the load of grief
that is bowling its victim down to the
dust in anguish. The husband comes
home worn out with the pressure of
business and feeling irritable with the
world in general; but when he enters
the cosy sitting-rOon, and sees the
blaze of the bright fire, and meets his
wife's smiling face, he succumbs in a
moment to the balm of Gilead to his
wounded spirits that are wearied with
the stern realities of life. The rough
school-boy flies into a rage from the
taunts of his companions to find solace
in his mothers smiles; the little one,
full of grief with her large trouble, finds
a haven of rest on the mothers breast {;
and so one might go on with instance
after instance of the influence that a
sweet-minded woman has in the social
life with which she is connected.
Beauty is an insignificant power when
compared with hers. -Selected.

The Occupation of Resting.

At one of the teachers institutes
held in this state paper was read urg-
ing the need of course of study differ
ent from school work for the teacher as
a necessity for mental life and strength.
In other words, if teacher gives her
whole time, thoughts and energies to
her school she cannot do her best work
there. This sounds rather paradoxi-
cal, but numerous teachers have testi-
fed to the truth of it. One lady, very
successful as an instructor, said her
usefulness in the schOol-room was
much increased when she made prac-
tice of reading in the evening, and that
the books must be sufficiently interest
ing to make her forget that she had
any school tasks until the next morn
ing. The reason is evident and applies
to many other things beside teaching.
To do the best work the worker must
be fresh and vigorous and no one can
overwork, mentally or physically, with
out burning the candle at both ends.
Inaction is not the best physical rest
and the mind cannot be inactive. If
not given new object of interest it will
continue to toll away at the same old
task. A change is necessity and herein
lies the great value of amusements.
Those who accomplish the most do it by
having more than one set of tasks and by
making each rest and refresh the Ia

Changes i'm Jerusalem.

There is probably no town in the do
minions of the sultan which has under
gone more change during the last few
years than Jerusalem. Owing to in
creased facilities of travel, the pilgrim
ages both of the Greek and Latin
churches have been more numerous. A
new feature is that some of the richer
pilgrims from time to time establish
themselves here. This is especially the
case with the Russian members of the
Greek church. The influx of Jews has
also been increasing to a remarkable
extent. The Protestant sects are con-
stantly enlarging the field of their oper-
atoms, and new charitable and educa-
tional establishments are springing up
from year to year. An American So
ciety of Second Adventists has been
resident here for some years, while iso-
lated religious cranks find in the Holy
City an appropriate dwelling-place for
reasons known only to themselves. The
result of all this is that whereas when
was last here, six years ago, only very
few houses had been built on the Jaffa
road outside the walls of the town,
where now there is an extensive and
constantly increasing Frank suburb.
The price of land has risen fifty per cent
and is still constantly rising. New
hotels and shops have been opened, to
meet the increasing demand. Within
the last twenty years the population of
the Holy City has certainly doubled, the
increase consisting entirely of Jews and
Christians. Jerusalem is probably the
only city in the world where the same
amount of capital and enterprise is ex-
pended on objects which are in no
sense remunerative, while in proper
ton to its size there is none where a
larger sum is annually given away,
either in the form of charitable or re-
ligious donations. Nothing strikes one
more than the proportion of buildings
having some sort of public character or
other to private dwellings, and these
buildings are constantly increasing.
This year the estimated expenditure
of the Greek and Latin churches will
be over 100000 for building purposes
alone. The number of Russian pill
grims who visit Jerusalem annually is
about five thousand, and it is constantly
increasing. They are all accommodated
in the extensive premises belonging to
the Russian government, in the center
of which the Russian consulate is
situated, and which forms a sort of
Russian suburb to the Holy City.-Cor-
respondence Of San.

A Laughing Plant.

This is not flower that laughs, but
one that creates laughter, if the printed
stories of travellers are to be believed.
1t grows in Arabia, and is called the
laughing plant because its seeds pro-
duce effects like those produced by
laughing-gas. The flowers are of bright
yellow, and the seed-pods are soft and
woody; while the seeds resemble black
beans, and only two or three grow in a
pod. The natives dry and pulverize
them; and the powder, if taken in small
doses, makes the soberest person be-
have like a circus clown or mailman;
for he will dance, sing and laugh, and
cut the most fantastic capers, and be in
an uproariously ridiculous condition
for about an hour. When the excite
ment ceases, the exhausted exhibitor
of these antics falls asleep; and, when
he awakes, he has not the slightest re-
membrance of his frisky doings.--
