Geo. W. Cushing, DD. Pastor of the Church, to a Large Congregation—A Fine Discourse. Laat evening, at the Fourth Street M. E. Cbnrch, the pastor, Kev. George W. Cush ing, D.D., preached the second of his series of S' rmons to young peop'e. this ooe being to jonng women, nn “True Womanly No bility.” Although the evening was Vbry disagreeable wiihout, the church was well fl'ledwith a congregation which listened with the closest interest to the reverend gentleman’s discourse. Dr. Cusbiog read the fir*t chapter of the Book of Esther, and took for hts text the twelfth verse of that chapter: “The t^aeen, Vashti, refused to come at the King’s cominaudment by his chamber lains; therefore was the King very wroth, and bis anger burned him. L'pou this womanly re.'usal to display her charms to the carieus eyes of her people and thus degrade herself, Dr. Cashing based his remark-*. Tne name \ ashti sig nified a “beautifol woman,” *nd a really beautiful woman, one who is noble and purp as w 11 as beautiful, is certainly the most beautiful and charming object upon | which human eyes have ever yet been per mitted to look, and it is not at all strange that a great king, whose queea was ac knowledge the most beautiful, ehonld take pleasure in displaying her charms to his subjects and courtiers. Nor would it be strange to find a woman so surpassingly beautiful ready to display her beauty, if, indeed, she did not reek th.- opportunity. And yet a modest wornan, tbough even a queen, might shrink trom being exposed to public gaze. Was the queen justified in refusing obedience;1 There can be no question that the Bible piacee tin man at the head of house, and not oulv sanctions the obedience of the wife, but actually tesches it. But we are never to infer that tfce Bible would approve that which is wrong, or demand a wire or anybody else to comply with a re quirement wrong in itself, or by virtue ot its relations. . . Plutarch says that the kings oi the Persians have their wivetsit with them at banquet, but that when they choose to riot and drink iley send their wives away and call their concubines and siog irg girls; and this statement unfolds the truth, lor it was ‘‘when the heart of the king was merry with drink” that be offered this < pen insult to the virtue ol his wife, and rhe bad courage to treat it as such. This, like many another affronts offered pure women, is the result of wine drinking I might say it is almost the legitimate result of its free nee. But here was a hta'hen woman, atnid the luxury, the vanity aud the masculating in fluences of court life without any very ex alted views ■ f life iu general or of religion, and yet sc ing up to the highest standard ol Chris iaa nobility, and leaving a char acter set out by one tingle act, w. ich em balmed her name in the ODly imperishable records of the world. Here was tine womanly nobility and wbat constituted t‘r It was not rank, though Vashti had this Bat she gave ap her rank to main tain her womanly dignity. I. waa not bea ty of face and grace ot person, though Vashti had ihe»e. Many a woman has imagined that symmetery of features, per sonal Scanty, was real womanly dignity, and that they would give her position and influence. fhev are an invaluable possession and will enable a woman to got access to many a heart at once that, witUont them, would he forever clo-ei. Bnt if she trusts to them—it she has no other, no higher ele ment of power—phe will tind her charms will lose all power in the emergencies of life, and she will be destitute ot both dig nity and position. Many women who have p* siiively the most perfect beauty eo fir as symmetry goes, are walking in the lowest strata of society, unloved, not re spected and without influence, except it be upon the vilest, and that to render their rain more romple’e Nothing is more piti able than to look npon thooe whi aught wield scepters in social lite as they shrink away into their vi'.enees and degradation. S a ruling there we deeply t-el that per sonal beauty has little to do with real womanly nobility. And yet how many a vonng woman is resting in her charms, trusting to these in all fortunes, spendirg a life of listless idleness, while cherishing the hope that she may somehow float into position and tind herself in possession of real dig nity. It was not the beauty ot ' ashti that gave her an imperishable name. Can I tix this thought so that no young lady will ever forget il? Some ot yon ere candi dates for temptation in this direction. If yon are beaut fnl, I beg of you not to be vain; for there is no more contemptible thing than a shallow-minded woman, who, though beautiful iu feature, is so weak in sense, and so lacking in taste, that she is continually bidding for admiration. Nor yet is it talent which constimtea this no bility. A woman with brilliant emljwments and developed powers, but destitute ot position and virtue, is a monstrosity, not to be paralleled. The glaring light of her talent only irescoes oat, in lines of more positive contrast, the hideons de formities of her unmeasurable degrada tion. While, tbeu, talent shall be duly es teemed. and culture shall be sought with tireless feet, let this thought be branded into your heart, that neither social posi tion nor personal charms, that neither natural endowments nor the broadest col* tare, can ever constitute or take the place of true womanly nobility. But egain the ijnest:on recurs to up, what constitutes this uohilit •? The first thing we mention is, purity, nrdei lying all, and rnnniog through all. Puritv of desire, parity of purpose, aud parity o' thought. No matter what else a woman may have, if she lack this she is destitute of trne nobility. It is often aflirmed that there is less tol eration in society for tfce faults of women than for those of men. and that society is mnch more reluctant to pardon these faul's in woman than in man; and there is no doubt but that this is true, and I am not to sure that this is cot right At any rate this infetecee is forced upon us; that society dees lock for and demand a more absolute pnrity in woman than in man. There are men in every community who are treated with respect though known to 1>9 guilty of wrongs which would damn a woman and forever shut her away fiorn all good society. This seems to be seveie and unequal, bnt 1 am not sore that it is unjust. For the troth is forever coming back t« ns, that in a woman is the fountain of ail social pnrity, and that if this fountain be corrupted the hope of the race is lost. If there is anything which I deplore in the stt u :gle which is now made to break down the distinctive differences between man and woman, and to thrust her npon the same platform, into the same arena with mar, it is for tbfo very reason—that in proportion as yon do it, yon throw this trne delicacy into jeopardy, slid all this talk about making woman equal to man is in open defiance of the most obvious laws of Host. Let me be not misunderstood here. ••The Best I-J»ld Blaus of Mice and Men af* aglee Not so Hostetler’* Stomach Buiers. It goes right to the spot it is designed to beneticially affect, and there is no tardiness In its action. Hut while it relieves constipation in common with dyspepsia and liver complaint associate evils—the griping and abdominal dis turbance produced by drastic purgative* never precede its operation. Its thoroughness is un varied bv violence, the i hief characteristic of most laxatives, and one that is highly prejudi cial to ta«h bowe s ac l stomach. It is only by invi orating the intestinal canal, and thus fitting it to perform Its office «s a natural siiUce for the effete matter of the system that its regularity can bo perpetuated. To weaken by drenching is to insure it*reUpse into disorder. This the Bit ters never does Chill* and fever, nervousness, kldne; complaints yield to the Hitters, and appe tite and sleep are unproved by it. In an important sense I ain folly persuaded that woman is the equalof man; that there are many fields which have been cul tiv iled almost exclusively by him which may with propriety and with as marked success, be cultivated by her. Bnt in saying this I do not forget that the type ol mind differs as widely as the type of body. There is an absolute symmetry between mind and body, and these linep of distinc tion between the male and female mind can no more ba obliterated than the linee of distinction which define tbeir bodies; and in pr< portion as these are wiped out, in th-: proportion is there danger of wip ing cut that native delicacy, the outgrowth of Bni*r or points. The danger all lies in yielding by littles. It is step by step we dowu to rn n go. The whole foundation will not be t- ppled over at once; the dan ger is in an mideimining which i« so grad ual that it is imperceptible. A yielding in the sl'ghtest jeopardizes the integrity of the whole etrncture. You will be assailed at every point; and often when argument and persuasion have tailed, mnlticndts of otherwise strong woweu have shown themselves weak by yitliing to the power of flattery. It has sometimes been questioned whether all women were not vulnerable on that point, Oae thing is certain, that many a woman who has shown sense in every other re spect, has become a tool through vanity. To-day, yourg ladies, yon stand jnst at the entrance of the race. Here the paths divide. The one is fall of flattering charms, the other of plain and undisguised crosses. The one allures to bewilder, the other re pulses to strengthen you. The one will certainly conduci. yon to oblivion if to nothing w&is?; the other as certainly to reuown aud positive glory. The one is the pathoi'trne womanly nobility; the other the path of unwomanly ignobility. They are both at your choice, and in one of them you must walk. More than this, it is more than probable that the path which you now choose will be the one in which you will be fouud unto the eud. But in any event, I must drop this theme, and leave yon just here, while I commend yon to the mercy of God, and to the tender compassion of our Lord Jeeus Christ. _ That tired feeling, so subtle and yet so overpowering, is entirely overcome by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which tones and streug'hena the system and gives a good appetite.

The Wheeling Steel P ant. It is probable that something will soon be done looking to the settlement of the Wheeling steel plant tronble. One of the men said yesterday that they were anxious to return to work, and while they would not return until the matter was finally ad jns ed, still they would like to see it set tled at an early day. Au official of the works was asked about the matter, and he said the works would only run under the K. of L scale, as they had accepted it, but it is understood some members of the di rectory are not so positive about the mat ter.

Why the American Flints Are Strong. “How is that lor a well attended meet ing''” remarked a well known labor man, yesterday afternoon, as the members of Local Union No. 9 A. F. G. W.

The members always tarn oat in large nnmbers, and never lose interest in their order.

AN EXAMPLE NECESSARY For the Benefit of Newspaper Thieves— Tho ••Register” Loses a Bundle of Mali. Fora long time back the Register, in common with other Wheeling newspapers, has suffered greatly from the larceny of bandies of papers, addrested to agents in near-by towns, and also from thefts of sin gle papets from the residences or places of business of subscribers. At times this annoyance to both the office and the patrons ol the paper has been almost in tolerable, and so persistent and daring bad the thieves become that it was deemed necessary to make an example of someone. Yesterday a bnndlcof forty-one Sunday Registers, addressed to a down-river agent, was stolen from the Register’s wagon, while the vehicle was being loaded at the precs room door, in the alley be tween Main and Market street. Suspicion was not directed to any one at the moment, but a thorough search was iostitnted. The wrapper of the pack was fonnd in the alley just sontb of Four trenth street. About seven o’clock in the morning a newsboy was seen on Sixteenth street with a number of pa pers in his possession, and who was acting iu a suspicions manner. On observing that he was being watched, be darted into an alley with tho pnrpcss of making hit es cape. He was pursued over a considerable portion of the Fourth watd, and was finally overhauled. He could not give a satisfactory account of how he be came possessed of the papsrs, and was taken before Justice Davis, on a warrant charging him wi lt petit larceny, lfewas committed iD default ol’ $100 bail for a hearing at 2 p m. to-day. FIRE AT BELLAIRE. The School llulldlng on Gravel 11111 Al most Destroyed. Abon t 5 o’clock yerterday morning a blaze shot through the roof on the sonth part of the public school building on Gravel Hill, Bellaire, and in a few minutes tbe whole upper portion of tbe building was in flames. Tbe Fifth ward hose company re sponded promptly, bnt, as usual, fonnd some difficulty making an attachment to the fire plug. When this obstacle was overcome it was found that the water main was nearly fill d with mnd, etc. How ever, the lire laddiei soon eurmonnted all difficulties and got to work, hut the fire had such headway that it could not be checked in the eecond (toiy. Two more reels were soon playing on tbe lUtce?, and after an hour’s energetic work tbe tiro was drowned out. The second sto*y of the bulding was completely mined and the belfry is uowhere to be seen. The first floor was soaked with water and all the schcol bocks are in a bad state. Tie conflagration was caused by natural gas. The laly who attends the school scrubbed the floor of thercom and left tbe gas burning in the siovo to remove the dampnese. The usual Sunday morning supply of fuel came on and the woodwork could not stand the heat. It is the same old story. The building was folly insured in sev eral companies. The loss will probably exceed $2,500. The Board of Education will for the present hold school in the vacant rooms in the Fifth ward. To an observer it wonld appear that the greater part of the b.ick walls can bo saved. liASK BALL NOTES.

Dnffield, of Rockcastle, is the champion pedestrian. He has earned this title by traversing more miles within the pas half dozen years than any man in the s rviceof the United States government. Mr. Dof field is in bis sixtieth year. Six years ago the 18th of last December ho began carry ing the mail betwten Jackson C. H and Buff *lo. While it is bat 27 miles between the two points, the postal route is just 46 miles in length. Tnere is, withal, a large amount of mail matter distributed by him. During tbe fmt fifteen months of bis rerv ice Mr. Duffield did the most of his travel ing afoot, but in tbe spring of 1885, finding it impossible to procure feed along the road for hie horse, he dispensed entirely with tbe eervices of that trusty animal and for two solid years made all hisjonrneyirgsas a pedestrian. Besides bis heavy load ot mail, it was nothing nnnsnal for him to strop a plow-point aDd other heavy articles over his shoulder and carry them ten or twelve miles. He has since mounted his horse only occssi.niilly. We have never seen him astride an animal bat once, though he cimes here from home and re turns thereto—the trip covering 30 miles— every Monday and Friday.” The Shenandoah Valley north bound pastenger train dne at Shepherdstown at 9:18 at night, didn't get here last Friday night. It was wrecked near Bentonville, and was delayed until after 6 o’clock next morning. It seems that a car load of Hfceel rains bad run from u siding on the main track and gotten beyond control of the trainmen. It ran down the grade until it reached a twenty-mile gait when it met the passenger train on a curve going at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. There was a tremendous shock, and the locomo tive—No. 6—whs thrown noside down over an embankment, smashed to flinders. The express car followed it, bnt the other cam stayed on the track.

His brother, who was near at hand, hastened to tbe scene, and managed in tome way to get him home. After several hours he regained '’onsciom ness. It is hoped that his injur ies may not prove fatal, although he is swollen considerably ab:ut the bead, and is in a precarious condition.

She was at the house of her brother, Charles Elkins, and while nursing one of his children at tempted to stir np the fire in a stove. She was fxtremely near sighted and did tot notice that her clothing and that of the child was burning nn:il it began to blazs. The child'a mother, entering the room at this juncture, seized it and told Yina to put ont the fire on her clothes. The un fortunate girl became panic-stricken and rnshed into tbs open air, screaming.

This evening Wheeling theatre ;oers will for the first time have the opportunity of seeing that accomplished and talented yourg actress, Miss Jol a Marlowe, as ‘ Julia” n “Tha Hunchback," andTnes day evenirg as ‘‘Viola’’ in ‘‘Twelfth Night.” A dramatic critic in the Boston Globe concludes a long article as ioIIows: “That courtly nestor of the drama, Lester Wallnck, not so many days before his death, wrote her a letter couched in terms of heartfelt praise and kindly conn eel, as could not but make the judicious marvel. Tne genial Pagan, Col. Inger soll, in a letter to his friend, Murat Hal stead, says: ‘She is as natural as Heaven’s bine—I want yon to see her.’ “Her Partlienia is ethereal and poetic; her Julia is a marvelously wrought piece of work and an old three-score and-ten Briton who had s^en Fanny Kemble in the part at Coveat Garden, along some time in the thirties, told me tbit »he was more beautiful and not less captivating and powerful in the part than the great orig inal of the character. In ‘ Viola' she fills fair and never to be forgotten Neilson’s places, and she is the only woman who plays ‘Juliet’ near ‘Juliet‘s’ a^e, she haing within one year of the age which Garrick gives that character in his acting edition. Onr last successful ‘Juliet’ was Modjeska— a grandmother. Onr next successful 1 Ju liet,' mark me—and mark me well—will be Marlowe—a maid.” The following is the cast for to-night: .T alia.
