A married man in Brooklyn thought
he detected an obstruction in the key
hole Of his bed room door one night last
week, and in fit of enthusiasm he
chucked half pint Of carbolic acid into
the opening. The next morning his
mother in law turned up missing, and
there is a lingering impression on that
mans mind that carbolic acid is one Of
the necessities that no newly. married

The Postal War.

THE BALTIC. 4 OHIO POSTAL CARS STILL RUNNING
THROUGH.
The postal controversy between Messrs. Scott
and Garrett seems to be not definitely settled
yet, There seems to be some hesitation on.each
side as to the taking of the final step which will
render retreat impracticable. Yesterday the
morning mail was sent through from Washing
ton in Baltimore and Ohio railroad postal car,
and appears to have gone through without de-
tention at Philadelphia. The morning mail from
New York went through in postal car belong
ing to the Pennsylvania Company, and was de-
livered atCamden Station, Baltimore, by the Phil
adelphia and Baltimore Company in accordance
with the programme before the contract WAS be-
gun. The explanation Of this apparent trial is
probably found in statement, which appears in
the Philadelphia telegraph Of last evening, that
Mr.. Kneass, the Vice President of the Pennsyl-
vania Company, had stated that no answer had
been received to President Scotts last letter to
the Postmaster General proposing to carry the
mails through on quicker time, and that no fur
ther action would be taken until that reply
reached the Company's Office.

A Connecting Link of the Ages.

AUNT" BETTY BUSH AND HER MARYLAND HOME
yIsT OF wfLMINdToNIAN TO HER HUMBLE COT
TAdE.
In Baltimore county, Md, near Govanstown,
resides white woman, ITO years of age, named
Betty Bush. She lives in small, stopping cot
tage, quite alone The cottage is one Of the
most primitive kind and looks as though it
might have been built by her ancestors. Floor
less and almost without furniture weather
beaten, damp and chill, it Possesses little within
1t to promote health or prolong life yet this old
lady has lived aud thriyed there, in her younger
days strong, rounded aud well-developed, and
even now her face is not shrveled and shrunken
but posesses much of the rotundity of earlier
life, The old lady, however, is now fast nearing
the portals of eternity, aud confined to her
bed unable to care for herself. But neighbors
do not let her suffer but kindly minister to her
wants Mentally, "Aunt Betty" as she is fa-
military known, is quite active, and she is very
much exercised to make satisfactory disposition
OF her.property-h cottage and its surrounding
acres-after death. She has made several wills,
and ID unable to devise one to suit her.
A few days ago, Mr.. samuel u. Paschall, of
this city, accompanied by W. A. Boyer, of the
Baltimore Bulletin; Col. Smith, the popular pro-
prietor OF the Guilford House at Govanstown
Col. Posey, a retired merchant residing at his
summer residence on Swan Lake, near Govans-
town; and j. M. Heskell, clerk of the Circuit
Court for Baltimore county, visited the old lady
and held u short chat with her. They
were about able to stand upright in tho cabin,
its caves being no higher than their shoulders,
while with uplifted hand they could easily touch
lhe peak of the roof. Their visit, however, was
very pleasant one, and they all experienced
thrill of patriotism rs they gazed upon this, one
OF the few, connecting links between colonial
tunes and our great Republic OF the Ninteenth
