CLUE LIFE.

The Philadelphia Reform Club has
recently split, and one part Of it has Ia
ken new house further up Chestnut
street; and the Philadelphia Times of
Friday has the following: %
TOO SOCIAL YOUNG MEN. M
eve have been to some degree mis-
represented" continued Mr.. Lippincott,
''as 10 the causes which led to the reno
val of the Reform Club from No. 1920
Chestnut street. and 1t has been charged
that we wanted TO Introduce too strict
code of morals into social organization
of gentlemen. The facts are simply
these: The Reform Club was started by
a number of gentlemen who had a large
stake in the welfare Of the community
for the purpose of advocating municipal
reform. 1t grew rapidly in membership,
among which were a number Of young
gentlemen Of very social dispositions.
The sale OF liquors was permitted all
over the house and card playing was car
ried on to considerable extent. Now
you will understand that it would be
very unpleasant for some old and res
pected friend to come to me, or Mr.. Lea,
or Mr.. latham, or any one of the origl-
nators of the club and say, 81 consented
to my son joining your club because
your name gave me assurance of his safe
ty there; but he is going TO the bad-he
Is drinking to excess or gambling-per-
haps BOTH" Now it is probable that
this young man would drink or gamble
anyhow, but l don't intend that my
name shall sanction any such vices. The
club goes to a new location and 1t has
my best wishes for its prosperity. 1t will
probably gravitate into Democratic
club. 10 this have no objection; the
Democrats need club"
MIR. Lippincott said nothing about the
new Reform League; on the contrary, be
spoke OF suggestion that had been made
to turn the lower floor of the Florence
property into stores and reut The upper
portion for boarding house.

M ade Crazy bv her Daughters
Marriage. ns
From the Globe Democrat.

GREENsFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. lion Tues
day night last, Mr.. James Woodcoek
and Miss Annie Hobbs were married by
the Rev. Robert Clark of Carrollton an
der strictly sensational circumstances.
A year or more ago Mr.. Woodcock be-
came enamored with the daughter of the
Rev. Mr.. Hobbs, pastor in charge OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church here. The
old people demurred when Mr. Wood
cock asked for the hand of their daughter,
for reasons not known to your correspond
ent and even went so far-so report says
AS to almost force Miss Annie; TO prom
Use to have nothing to do with that gentle
man.
Everything passed along quietly until
very recently, when the Rev. Mr.. Hobbs,
being assigned another charge by the
Conference, was on the eve Of leaving
hee, and the fire that was supposed to be
quenched was rekindled. The old peo-
pie were interceded with by the parties
interested, butit was no rise.io In conse-
quence, the young lady was necessitated
| to seek consolation among outside friends.
During this time outside parties at
tempted to effect reconciliation with
the parents without success. Some Of the
| Dest and most prominent business men,
| out of respect for the parties most inter
ested, took hold of the matter, and started
a mutual friend to CarrolItou fourteen
miles dlStant-fOT the HcenSe ana
preacher; all of which was accomplished
in three and-half hours, and the two souls
were made one between the hours OF g
and 10 o'clock p. M, at the residence of
| Mr.. Valentine Coswell. -.....ft.s-4o
During the afternoon and evening the
young lady's mother made strenuous ef-
forts to find out the whereabouts OF her
daughter, but failed to do so until after
/ the ceremony had been performed, when
Mrs. Hobbs was permitted to enter the
room. Mrs. Coswell thought she would
become reconciled whenit was too late to
break off the alliance but not so. She
raved like a maniac, made personal at
tacks, and had to be restrained by force
from ipjuring herself ana some OF the
company. She now lies in a critical CON
dition, and, unless there is an almost i'm
mediate change, she will hare to be taken
to Jacksonville, There were about thirty
leading citizens present to witness the
marriage ceremony.

New York Tenement Hsuses.

A correspondent Of the Graphic writes:
I notice in the 5000 deaths reported in
New York during the last three mouths
that over 1000 have occurred in tene-
ment houses. 1t seems to me that in this
matter of building accommodations for
the poorer class, youin America,o or at AL
events in New York, have retrograded
rather than progressed. Your tenement
house system is abominable. People are
piled in hsney-combs, as it were, enc
stratum on the top Of the other. They
are human honey-combs of dirt, squalor
and disease. Now, the poor of London
have not much to boast of. But very
large number live in small two-story cot
tages, each with its little strip Of yard in
front or rear, so that the occupants have
daily an opportunity of coming into con-
tact with bit of mother Ear-h, which
deem in itself an accessory to health.

RETURN OF MIR. TILDEN

From the N. Y. Herald. ,Es-
The late demncratic candidate for
the Presidency, who received nearly
three hundred Thousand more popular
votes than his successful ,mpetitor,
reached home yesterday in the Scy-
tbia after pleasant tour OF several
months in Europe. He returns in ex-
cellent heath. aui We shall be much
mistaken il bis hand is not again felt
in the politics of the State and the
country. During his absence great
deal has happened which he did not
expect. John Kelly has taken the
democratic Organization of the State
out of the hands of his friends--a tact
which must moitify and annoy him,
but, on the other hand, Mr.. Hayes has
been defeated in his own State and Ii
at loggerhesds with his own party IL

cious and experienced politician MOI

Mother-in-Law and Grandmother

HOW MRS. J. OLIVER PUT ON A BEG
: CARS GARB AND TOOK HER GRAND
CAILD TO A FOUNDING HOS
PITAL. "h ''Hi'
From the ". Y. Times.
Aheaiingiwas head before j, 4 % Dono
hue, in the supreme Court, Cnambers,
yesterday, on the return to the writ of
habeas corpus sued out by Joseph ).
Rown to recover possession of his son,
whom, he claimed, his mother-iniaw,
Mrs. Isaac j. Oliver, had placed in q
founding hospital. The circumstances of
the case as told by Mr.. ,Rown are very
singular 1t seems that in September,
1876, he went with his wife, to California
but that she remained there only three
months, at tho end of which returned
alone to this city and went to the house
Of her mother. Mrs. Oliver. While In
that house Mrs. Rown gave birth to a
male child, but ,Rown was notified that
the child had been still-born, and tt at its
body had been burit d. Shortly afterward
Rown returned to this city, where he has
since been living with his wife. He never
| learned that his first child had been born
alive until last Saturday. Ii seems that
Mrs. divers son George had married
Miss Gillen, who became very sick re-
|
| She sent to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Oil
yer, for assistance, but it was refused her.
| She then became indignant, and wrote q
letter to Rown stating that his child had
been born alive, and had been soon after
i ward taken to the foundling hospital In
Sixty-ninth street by Mrs. Oliver. The
latter, according to Mr.. Rowns story,
went TO the hospital or asylum and asked
| Sister Irene whether she would not take
in newly-born child, whose mother was
poor and unable to support 1t. Sister
i Irene wished to see the mother first.
| Thistseemed unsuitable to Mis-. Oliver,
| and 80 she dressed herself like beggar
i woman, and in that garb went to the asy-
| lum and deposited the child in the basket
which hung before the door OF the insti-
i tuition. Mrs. Rown, in her weak condl-
ton, was unable to make resistance, and
was afterward afraid to tell her hush aud
of what had been done. The yonng M rs.
Oliver, nee Gillen, has died since telling
Rown the story. ROwn went and saw
DIR. Arnold, VINO was present at Mrs.
Rown's accouchment, and he stated that
the child was born alive. Rown then
paid a visit to the Founding Asylum,
and asked Sister Irene about the matter
The worthy Sister wished to know the
child's Christian name in order to identi-
fy it, but Mr.. Rown was unable to give
it, Hefurnished her, however, with the
date when the child was deposited in the
basket at the asylum, and by means Of
this, and the clothes which the baby wore
it is to be identified Sister Irene is to
inform hlm of the matter on "Wednesday
next. Mrs. Oliver, when served with the
writ of habeas corpus, admitted that she
had taken away the child, and said she
4 d not want to supl o t "Other peoples
; children. She made return yesterday
| that the child is not in her custody
Judge Donohue will render decision II

RAISE OysTERs.-Oysters are abund-
ant but small. II some oysterman would
plant and grow big oysters he could take
all the trade. The law allows an acre OF
the water ground to every man for this
purpose. providing that it is not on the
oyster beds, and allows him to stake 1t on

who tresspasses upon 1t. This is the
method stake off a portion of the creek
or bay shore, mark It as your oyster
plantation and put up sign fore warning
all persons against trespassing on it.--
Theii gather small seed oysters, from the
size of the thumb nail up to the size OF .
silver dollar and plant them all over the
bottom of your claim. Single oysters are
the best aud therefore no lunches should

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.

On Wednesday morning, May 2,
1877, at the residence of his brother
in this place, James J. Harmed died.
Mr.. Harmed was well known to all
our citizens, for his home for many
years had been here, and his quiet
ways and many amiable qualities
Rad endeared him to every one that
met him. He was born in New
JERSEY, and was at the time of his
death As years Of age. Though he
came to the coast when but seven
teen years old, in 1S49, he was quick
to learn and apt to do, and was one
of the best informed and most useful
men this community ever had.
One year ago, Mr.. Harmed then
living in Portland, had an attack of
typhoid fever, from which he never
fully recovered. Failing gradually,
he went to San Dieago, Cal, three
months since, in the hopes that
change of climate would prove of
benefit. Still growing weaker he
was one week ago brought to this his
"Old home" las he always spoke of
it). Only coming here, however, for
a few days, to look his fond wife in
the face and take the hand of sympa
thizing friends and then pass on to
another and better home. His fami-
ly have more than words can speak
of kindly sympathy and good will
from every reader of these lines.
The funeral of Mr.. Harmed was
held on Thursday at 2 p. NJ. The
exercises were of the most impress
sive character, being held at the
Presbyterian church and conducted
by Rev. Mr.. Damon.
