Modern Reluctance in Marrying.

1t has been the fashion lately to join
IN the hue and.cry that the earth was
getting too much like heaven inasmuch
as there was prospect that there would
soon be no marrying or giving in mar

young man won't, and consequently the
young woman can't. The young man
won't because no has all he can do 10
supply his own wants, and his wants in
crease faster than his salary. The young
woman comes home from school with her
head in even more muddled condition
than that OF the male graduate-if that

Editors OF the IntCllIRcncer.
To-day observed an article in the

game between the Standards" OF your
city, and the Washington nine, which,
from the initials "R. H." eminates from
Mr.. r. Kennedy. Tho reasons, If any,
for the standards" Withdrawing from
the field do not know, but canpot ell
silently by and hear Mr.. K. or the Wash.
ington nine administer reprimand for
lack OF courtesy. Our nine, the bend.
ers," recently visited Washington to play
friendly game, and were thoroughly
impressed with their courtesy o..
Some members oil our nine arrived In
Washington the evening before, and all
arrived quite early the morning Of the
day appointed for the game, but not one
OF these courteous gentlemen (G) made an
appearance until after the Blenders had
found the field. They then waited 80
hour Tor the gentleman bAsebsllist tC
appear and start the game.
Mr.. X. himself Is not a criterion. In
compliance with the regulations, our
pitcher mot an unfair throw) asked Tor 9

pire, replied, "you won't make anything
by asking me for decisions" and rendered
an adverse decision. However, they art

KEEPING GRAPES FREsu.-A method
Of preserving grapes for long time, even
from one Autumn until the next Summer,
has come into extensive use. The grapes
are kept on the vine as long as possible
In France, where this device originated,
to the end Of October or beginning Of
November. Before the first trosts appear
they are cut, leaving a portion OF the stem
oil about two or three knots below the
bunch and two above 1t. The section OF
the upper end Is then to be covered
with wax, to prevent the evaporation
Of the liquids contained 10 the
pores OF the wood; and after carefully re.
moving all the unsound grapes the lower
end Of the stem Is inserted In small,
elongated bottle filled with water, hav-
ing a small quantity Of wood charcoal in
the bottom. The space between the stem
and thetigh0y.Atting cork through which
1t Il 10 be inserted Is 10 be filled up with
wax. The bottles thus fitted are TO be
placed on shelves In dry room, and
there arranged 80 as not 10 fall over, this
being best prevented by inserting Them
In holes bored in frame, as close to-
gether as they can stand conveniently.

M MATTERS Z Ems "a MATRIMONIAL.
MRS. LOCKWOOD AND JUDGE OIL,

MRS. LOCKWOOD AND JUDGE oLIN.
Mrs. Belvs A. Lockwood argued to-day before
the general term the appeal in the case Of French
VS.. French, in which o bill filed by wife for d.
yorce from her husband on the ground that he
had become imbecIle in mind, and failed to sup
port his family.
The Chief Justice was inclined TO the opinion
that II the bill set out case OF imbeclity the
part Of the husband, It would be ground for o de-
cree OF divorce; but while that might be inferred
from the bill, Il was not distinctly stated In IT,
Mr.. Justice Olin was not at all satisfied that
the neglect to support the family set forth in the
bill was ground for the divorce. Both the part
ners Of the matrimonial contract concurred in
producing the children, and both were bound 20
rear them. II husband became sick and unable
to support, It was not ground Of divorce. 1t then
became the vifes duty to take his place rs far as
she was able. He did not think this bill would
lie.
Mrs. Lockwood had begun Q reply, when Judge
o. cut her Short saying 81 don't want to argue
the case with you; would be beaten there"
Mr.. Justice Humphreys doubted whether the
plaintiff had suficient residence In the District
to entitle her to sue in this court He was not in
favor of making the District q convenience for
parties seeking to escape matrimonial obligations.
The decree below was reversed, and the case
sent down to the Equity Court, with leave to
amend the bill.

a JEALOUS MAN TRIES TO RID HIM.
SELF OF HIS MISTRESS.
A wsllknoHn eolored man, named Daniel Car
ter, on Friday last attempted to kill q eolored
woman, with whom he had been living, named
Rebecea Mathis, by administering o drugged
liquid, which he stated was a very palatable and
refreshing drink. The parties are thirty and
twentY-eight years Of age, respectively, and for
several years resided near BrIghtwoOd, but some
months since they engaged to work on the farm
of Hf. q. Brashears, residing in Montgomery
county, mile two over the line. It is said that
recently Carter became jealous Of her, and she
left him, leaving the vicinity for o time. Last
week she returned, and, meeting Carter, they had
. talk together, and finding that she was adverse
to returning to him, he proposed that they take
friendly drink together and part in peace. To this
