He is still asleep" said the snr-
geon.
But he has his eyes open"
"Only the left; the muscles of that
eye have been tom by the bullet He
is also deaf on the left side, and his
face paralyzed."
"Will that remain so?" asked the
wife.
''We must hope for the best" re-
Piled the surgeon
Pauline, " whispered the wounded
man.
The surgeon motioned her to keep
silence, and felt the patients pulse.
You have slept long, Baron. Do
you feel better2n
"a little. l have had pleasant
dreams"
'Of your wife? You pronounced
her name. "

And if your dreams were realized?"
THAT cannot be, . sighed the wound

Longer Lucca could not wait. She
rushed to the bed III tears, and kissed
the swollen, blue features that repre-,
sented his mouth. Her voice was
choked.
After the strong feelings had some

| afterwards it was done, and, as she has
often related since, she gave the sick
man five cups of it by teaspoonfuIs.
Next day Lucca drove a Frenchman
IRON his pleasantly situated house and
had her husband carried there. Within
two weeks there was great hope of his
| complete recovery. Then the prima
donna prepared to take him home. But
before she went she visited headquar-
tiers, and by exhibiting her passports
and by her own energy received per-

most advanced lines. Six hussars es-

began to hy she ordered them back, say

Then she went forward alone with
her parasol and opera glass, and pene-
trated to the furthest pickets She
| stayed to see some shells explode in
her neighborhood, and to view the red
caps OF the French. The men III the
rifle pits were in agony lest she should
get hart. But as she said: -" No
French bullet was so unmannerly as to
hit a lady" Next day she started for
Berlin with her husband in charge.

Canned Peas.

Canned peas are naturally of gray
ish pale green, but some manufacturer
have resorted to processes by which
the natural dark green is restored.
This plan, although improving the APP
pearance of the peas, destroys their
delicious favor, and proves injurious to
persons partaking of them. This
practice has been carried on to such an
extent that the French Government
have passed very stringent laws pro
hibitiDg the sale IN that country Of
vegetables artifcially greened. The
goods, however, are still put up and
sent to this country, where they bring
a high price, under the supposition
that they are canned with more care
than here The test Of the freedom
from deleterious substances is very
simple, as the mere tasting of the peas
viii show that the actiicially greened
ones are without flavor.

The FOrtUne.Teller'S ALMANAC.

The dream of a millstoue about your
neck is sign of what you may expect il
you marry an extrayagant woman.
1t Is lucky to dream that you paw for a
thing twice over, since ever afterward You
will probably take care to have your
bills receipted.
For u person IN embarrassed circum.
stances to dream that he is arrested is
very fortunate, for it is warning to him
on no account to accept bill.
To dream of fire is a sign that-ie YOU
are wise-you will see that all the lights
In your house are out before you 60 to
bed.
To dream that your nose is red to the
tip is an intimation that you had better
leave brandy and water alone.
To dream OF having great number of
servants is-madness
To dream of bear betokens mischief,
which vison shows you in bruin.
When fashionable young lady dreams
of fiibert, it is "a sign that her thoughts
are running on the colonel.
If you dream of clothes, it is a warning
not TO go to law; for by the rule of con-
traries, you will be sure of non-suit.

A Strange Woman,

The following is from the Lancaster
Pa Enquirer which vouches for It's entire
correctness In one of the rural districts
OF this county lives woman aged
slxty-hve years, who for the past
i've years has been an invalid
and whose present condition is most
remarkable. During her previous life she
has borne by no means an enviable repu-
tahon, ana strange stories are rife in the
community concerning her former life.
The most current Of these is one to the
effect that: year; ago, she, with the aid of
her brother and mother, in ord,r to
conceal the birth of child, roasted it alive
In an oven. This and many others have
been circulated, and gain credence from
her present condition. More than year
ago, after being elpless invalid for
about four years, she rose one dav in her
bed, and In firm voice said "In this
present condition | must remain for a
thousand years though there come fam
Inc and starvation, yet Will [ neither live
nor die" With spasmodic twitch aud
convulslve movement, her limbs were
doubled up III the most intricate manner.
and she sank back on the bed, where she
has since remained speechless and unable
to move. Whether her silence is to be
attributed TO a visitation of Providence or
stubborness is not known. Her appear
ance is described by visitors as fearful to
behold. Her limbs are twisted about her
In wonderful manner, and her facial
expression is almost demoniacal. She
refuses to take food in the presence of
others, but as soon as they leave the room
devours with the greatest avidity what
ever is set before her What renders her
case still more remarkable are the facts
that her brother, years ago, committed
suici e, and that her mother fingered a
helpless invalid for nearly thirty years.

people were supposed to havo had
considerable in their possession, be-
ing very miserly aud not having
sufficient confidence in banks to en-
trust their funds to the keeping oi
such institutions.
Finding tie money.-The Jury re.
paired TO back room, and opening
the drawer of u bureau proceeded to
an examination. It was not long
until they found money slowed away
in all manner of inconceivablo WAYS.
Between the leaves of an old bool,
entitled "Tho Complete Duty OF
Man. one thousand dollars in bills
ranging from fiyes to twenties, were
found. A small bag contained Si7 90
in paper u roll of bills, snugly,
slowed away, was found TO contain
800, aud in small red pocket book
$3.50 were found. Five one dollar
gold pieces-ruifcd out of u small ly~s,
and near by it So 36 in silver change
was discovered. In another package

was found-then 81 in old fashioned
quarters turned up. Two dollars
and a half in silver was found in an
other place then 81 and Sll in
one dollar gold pieces. A small pack
age of postal currency containing
81 75 was unearthed in quiet nook
of the drawer-then - 10 in small
change, and finally $40 in silver was
developed in anotherplace. a large
and handsome red pocket book was
taken out which was found compact.
ly stuffed with bills in denominations
of iives, tens aud tSenties. In hur-
riodly counting the contents it was
found to contain 1920 Amoro pie

A number of bills on old county
banks, long since passed out of oxis
tence, were unearthed; also numcr-
ous county orders appeared, and n
few counterfeit national bank notes
turnod up, which had doubtless been

S2,i00 in good money was found.
The variety Of money stored away,
and the confused conditions of the
drawer and its contents, showed the
miserly disposition of the owners,
aud how tenaciously they boarded
their treasures, which they seemed
to guard with extraordinary care, at
the same time denying themselves
the common comforts of life. In the
midst of plenty they apparently had
nothing, and worshippel money rs

When ,oas the deed one?-As to
the time of the murder there are con
hicting opinions The prevailing opin-
ion is that tho murderer visited the
place on Tuesday evening, and that
the victims lay undiscovered until
next afternoon. This opinion is
strengthened by the fact that the old
people were not in the habit of aris-
ing in the morning at very early
hour, and it is hardly probable that
the rufiian would have approached
the house with intentions of murder
and robbery in broad daylight, and
within few hundred yards of the
public highway, were wagons and
people are constantly passing and
repassing.
The fact that the milk crooks were
found near where the dead body of
the old lady lay would seem to indi-
cate that she was assailed in the
evening as she was attending to her
COWS. II is reported that some one
working in o field near by heard o
shot in the evening, which, il true,
tends to corroborate this theory.

young lady poet, who ought to be ro-

be re-pressed, thus advertises for her
young man:

Come when you are looked for, or como

Kisses aud welcome you'll find here before

And tbs eftener you come the more III

this sort Of thing, but we should
think these four lines were sufficient
to ''fetch' the young man right away.

The Commercial sets up u needless defence OF
the character of Joshua Maris ESQ, No one de-
mics that he has fIled the position of President
of Council" in manner which challenges the
respect OF the members of that body. That is
a reason why he may be excused from serving
another term. He docs not want the Office. His
time is occupied by business, and no doubt he
would prefer that his accomplished opponent
should occupy the position for the next two years

and the liquor dealers, aud the service his vote
at Dover has rendered. He was well paid there.
II his conscience is satisfied with his vote at
Dover there is no need Of further pay. The citi-
zens fear his vote with the Ring in the Council.
The people wish to be relieved of the heavy tax
and needless extravagance that the Council con-
tinue to impose upon them. This is why IL is
hoped the people will refuse tovotc for Mr.. Maris.

NOT TRUE.

The Commercial has evidently become alarmed
at the rebeliOus schism chat has arisen in ts party
il the Fifth ward, and charges the Democrats
with "efforts to COW sedition" in that old strong
hold of Repubhcanism. This is all nonsense The
people of Wilmington know Messrs. Edward
Bette, Samuel N Pusey, Geo S. Grubb, James
Scstt and many other prominent Republicans,
who have openly declared their opposition to the
Ring candidate, and have resolved upon an indie
pendent ticket rather than longer endure the
burden of taxation which the Hing, aud those
who govern it with such dominesring sway for
their PeTsonal aggradizemsnt, have imposed upon
patient and long-suifering community.
The Democrats have made no coalition with The
liquor dealers or any other party but if they can
secure the defeat of the Ring by voting for an in
dependent candidate, they will no doubt do So re-

Treasurer, and Ward officers, takes place in this
city next Tuesday, the 81 OF September. The
polls open between the hours OF II O'Clock, noon
and one o'clock, afternoon and close at o'clock,
p. IN. Every voter who has the cause of good
government at heart should make the necessary
sacrifice to vote. Let no Democrat be absent A
single vote in ward might result in the loss Of
the whole ticket. Remember that reform is nee
essarY TO reduce taxation, and stop extTavagancs.
