Own Life.
Special Correspondence oi State Journal
ELKToS, May 3O.-on Saturday after
noon about 3 clock Mrs. Alfred .Jainison,
living in the Fourth district OH the farn
of John |. Smith, hung herself in the
garrett of her own house. The circunl-
stances OF the crime are about as follows
After dinner on Saturday Mr.Jamson, the
husband, came to Elkton to buy garden
plants and during his absence she com
lnitted the deed. She, after clearing up
the dishes and washing and dressing The
little children, put the youngest child-a
babe of ii inontlls-to bed. The Other
child she sent out in attendance with a
small colored boy.
Some time after the child went into
the house in search of his mother, hut
not finding her on the lower floors, he
went to the garnet, where he discovered
her hanging by the neck from one of the
rafters. The colored boy FASTENED to the
nearest neighbor but, unfortunately, no
one was at home. He then started toward
lilkton, in search of Mr.. lamison, whom
he met at Turkeytown.
Mr.. Jamison FASTENED home, but he
arrived too late to save the woman's life.
Mrs. Jamison was a native of New
Jersey. Her father and sister both com
mitted suicide and her mother fell dead on
hearing of the formers death. llercdi-
tary Insanity is supposed to be the cause.
The affair has created much excitement
here, where the family are well known.

The Appointments siaa Re-
arrested After Quite Al Chase.

Between and 3 o'clock a. IN Monday
| Deputy United States Marshal William
NJ. Stuckert of st. Georges visited the
residence of John Brothers, in Appoquini-
mink hundred, and, finding him at home,
placed him under arrest.
Brothers, it will be reeolected, was
arragned before the United States Court,
in this city, at the last term, charged
with attempting to obtain back pension
| by false pretenees, the special allegation
| false evidence in Philadelphia. He was
| discharged by the court here, on account
OF insufficient evidence TO convict in this
district.
He was subsequently indicted before
the court in Philadelphia, and copy oi
the indictment was sent to United States
Marshal McMullen about 10 days ago.
On Saturday, the 2lst, Marshal MeMullen
received a dispatch from the Coni,nis-
sioner of Pensions and Arthur Sheppard,
special agent in the Pension Depart
ment, stating that Brothers was in Wash
ington. The Marshal went down that
night and visited the place which had
been named by Sheppard rs his stopping
place, but he had not been there.
Being unable to find him in Washing
ton and learning that he would leave
there ON Monday, MeMullen and Sheppard
started for Baltimore, thinking he would
take the Ericsson steamer there for Della
ware City. Again they We're disappointed.
Brothers returned home from Washing
ton on Friday night week. He was brought
to this city by his eaptor Monday morning.
Brothers tells II very plausible story in
regard to being entitled to II pension,
which was generally believed by the obi
cials ill this city at the time oil his first
trial. His visit to Washington was for
the purpose of obtaining letters from
prominent persons.

John Brothers, living in New Gas tie
county, Delaware, was surrendered into

PutLApELrniA, May 3O.-The day is
being observed as general holiday. All
the cemeteries are crowded and every
where there is n profusiOn of flowers.
One of the most touching sights tins
morning was at the public schools. On
Friday last all the children took pots OF
flowers to school to be distributed among
the various Grand Army Posts, and this
morning they were transferred to carriages,
to be taken to the various cemeteries.
At most of the schools the little ones
assembled, and, in accompanying the
posts to the graves, formed pleasant
relief to the dark blue uniforms of the
veterans. .5-
There were special ceremonies at the
decoration of the Washington monument,
in front of Independence Hall, and
firing party at the grave of Gen. George
@. Meade, in Laurel Hill cemetery. At
the latter cemetery an Grafton was deliv-
cred by Gen. Henry Y. Bingham. An
Grafton was also delivered at the Lincoln
monument, in Paramount park.
The Michael Davitt branch of the Irish
Land League strewed flowers upon the
grave of the grandfather of Thomas 5.

terry at Manayunk.

Make the Best OF Things.

We excuse a man for an occasion
al depression, as we endure a rainy
dav. But who could endure 365
days of drizzle ? Yet there are men
who are, without cessation, sombre
and charged with evil prognostica-
tons. We may be born with a mel
ancholy temperament, but there Is
no reason why we should yield to it.
There is way of shuffling the bur-
den. In the lottery of life there
are more prizes drawn than blanks,
and to one misfortune there are fl
ty advantages. Dependency is the
most Improbable feeling a man can
have. One good laugh is a bomb
shell exploding in the right place,
while spleen and discomfort is a gun
that kicks over the man that shoots
it off. Some must have got into
heaven backward. Let rs stand off
from dependencies. Listen for
sweet notes rather than discords. In
a world where God has put exquis-
ite tinge upon the shells washed in
the surf, and planted paradise Of
bloom in the child's cheek, let US
leave it to the owl to hoot, and the
toad to croak, and the fault-iinder
TO complain. Take outdoor exer-
ercise and avoid late suppers, if you
would have cheerful disposition
Fhe habit ofeomplaint finally drops
into peevishness. and people become
waspish and unapproachabie.

Cheap Girls.

i girl who makes herself too
cheap is one to be avoided. No
young man, not even the worst, ex-
cept for a base purpose, warts any
thing to do with cheap young girl.
For a wife, none but q rascal or a
fool will approach such 4 woman.
Cheap iewelry no person will touch
If he can get any better. Cheap
girls are nothing but the refuse, and
the young men know it, and they
viii look in every other direction for
4 lifelong friend and companion be-
fore they Will give glance at the
pinchback stuff that tinkles at every
turn for fascinating the eye of any
that will look. You think it is
quite ''the correct thing" to talk
loudly and coarsly, be boisterous and
hoydcnish in all public places to
make yourself so bold and forward
and commonplace everywhere that
people wonder if you ever had a
mother or a home or anything to do
So be it. You viii probably be tax
en- for what you are worth, and one
of these years-if you do not make
worse than shipwreck of yourself
you will begin to wonder where the
charms are that once you thought
yourself possessed OF, and what evil
spirit could have so befooled you.
Go in, but remember that cheap
girls attract nobody but rascals and
fools.

4 Sad Scene.

One ofthe saddestscenes in New
York life, says a journal Is that
which comes to a man who, in this
cold weather, takes an early morn
ing walk before the bright sun
touches the spires. Then it is that
the hungry, bareheaded, thin clad,
worthy poor, who 90. out to work or
to seek work, may be seen hurrying
forth from cherries homes and fru-
gal breakfasts the travelling tinker,
with cold red hands, carrying his
irons and shutting along the slip
perry streets in old shoes without
stockings the poor laundress, pale
from the nights ironing, and show
ing by her pinched face that she
does not get immediate pay for
the great basketful of clothes, she
may 60 without breakfast and the
poor newsboy, with shortened
sleeves and pantaloons, calling his
papers and occasionally breathing
on his bent fingers as he jumps up
and down to induce 4 little warmth.
No beggars appear at this time. II
is the hour of the worthy poor.

She Couldn't Do 1t.

"Why couldn't respectable, intel
ligent women sell goods by sample
as well as menu asks acorrespond-
ent. "It would not be any harder
work to go from town to town with
samples than to stand behind q
counter or run sewing machine. F"
But what lady could endure to
be called drummer? What lady
could travel all night after working
all day? What lady would swag-
ger around hotel bar rooms telling
anecdotes of her various love af-
fairs? What lady, on meeting a rival
drummer, would spend two hours
in trying to pump him as his pro-
posed route, and then skip city to
cut into bis trade? What lady, af-
ter being kicked outof one establish
ment for her persistence, would pick
herself up and skip into another?
