That meets in Sandy Hollow,
On every pleasant afternoon,
With SignOrina RoilO?

All scailOped round the edges,
And winds Il wreath around the dish

Her recipes are all unique.
And never have been printed;
She'd not forgive me if the rules

Twill really make you smile to see
The puddings and the pieses;
The biscuits, each about as large
As an old-fashiOned penny;
The cookies cut in hearts and rounds
And quaint devices, many:

I've surely said Il plenty.

And here are more than twenty.

Lake George has had five names.
The Indians called it Anda-to-roc-te,
or the place where the lake contracts,
and Caniderioit, the tail of the lake,
until 1916, when Father Joques and
Sieur Bourbon. engineer-in-chief of the
Governors staff. arrived on its borders.
1t was the eve of the festival of Corpus
Christi. and they named it the Lake of
the Blessed Sacrament. General John
son, in 1855, changed this to Lake
George, in honor of George II. This it
has borne ever since, although Cooper
introduced it to his readers in the 'Last
of the Mohicans" as Lake Horizon, the

Efforts to save O'DonuelI, j.,

LONDON, Dec. 11.-Etery effort is
being made by the friends and counsel
of O'DOnnell to procure a respite from
Sir William Harconrt, Home Secretary
for the condemned man. Charles Rus.
sell, chief of the counsel for O'Donnell,
has written letter to Mr.. Gladstone,
forcibly drawing his attention to com.
munication from A. M. Sullivan, also Of
O'Donnell's counsel, addressed to Mr..
Russell, In reference to the alleged mis-.
apprehension by the jury of Judge
Denman's language in his charge. The
matter has been laid before Sir William
HarcOurt and the United States Gov.
eminent, and important inquiries are
proceeding in regard to it.
A. M. Sullivan writes to The Pail
Mall Gazette that it is essential to him
to see the jurors who tried and convict
ed O'Donnell in order that he may as.
certain the correctness of the stateme ts
which have been made in Mr.. Russsll's
correspondence with the Government,
but says that Solicitor Guy is still
unable to find them. Mr.. Sullivan
says he has no doubt that the members
of the jury would come forward If they
knew that the life or death of O'Donnell
hung upon the issue For want of this
information ten days of the sixteen re-
naming to O'Donnell since the trial
have been lost. Mr.. Guys appeal
through the press for the addresses of
the jurors was sent to the principal
newspapers, hut was published by only
one. Mr. Sullivan expresses indigna.
tion at such treatment, and says that all
means of knowing the jurors has been
denied the defendants counsel during

DENTON, Md, Dec. 10.--A fearful
cutting atiray took place at a little vii
lage, called American Corner, about l:
miles from Denton, on Saturday even.
ing An athletic young man OF tht
name of Trice had an alteration with
one, Thomas Andrew, when Thomas
Hignett and Charlie Smith joined in
with Andrew. Trice fearing the over.
powering numbers, backed into one OF
the corners of the store, and whipped
out huge pocket knife and went to cut,
ting as they closed in upon him. Hig'
nett was cut ON top of the head over the
left eye, and received a cash on the left
arm from shoulder to elbow as deep as
the hone. Smith was cut on the leg and
on the neck just grazing the juglar
vein and narrowly escaping with his
life. Andrew escaped with having his
coat badly cut. The knife blade was
broken in the melee, or there is no telling
what the result might have been. Our
Jail Ia tenentless, the result Of local
option. The old Sheriff has moved out
and the new one has not arrived yet,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-General
Lopgstreet was asked to day what he
thought of the condition and prospect
Of the Republican party in Georgia
"The Republican party in Georgia ?"
he replied /; well, 80 far as l can see,
there is no Republican party in Georgia
1t is shadow without substance. The
vote of the Republicans in that State is
not large enough for them as body to
be called party. The only time there
is any evidence of the existence of a
Republican party in Georgia is when
there are Offices to be filed. Then we
hear something about it,
"How about the Republican party
in the South generality" he was asked.
Looking over the entire field" re
piled General Longstreet, 81 am con-
strained to say, that in the other South.
ern States the Republican party is no
better off than in Georgia. The only
chance of there ever being such party
Is to carry Virginia. Virginia was lost
this year, but there is going to be a
strong effort to carry it in the next cleo
tion. If 1t is not carried then, the last
chance of the Republicans in the South
will, in my opinion, be lost"

\ country, and while the lot of these faithful

ing has been done for their relief In cities O.
the second clasy
In places like New York and Philadelphls
| the carriers are taken from the pOst-oflce Il
their routes in vehicles, at the expense of the
Government, consequently they have much
less walking than in second class cities like
Wilmington. They also receive 81 900 yeaI
salary In frst class cities, and only $500 In
second class.
A movement is now on foot in several cities
to petition Congress to equalize the pay, and
allow vacati0n Of thirty days during the
year. The Government employees In other
departments only work eight hours day,
and have Sundays and all other holidays to
themselves.
They ere allowed thirty days vacation and
sixty days sick leave; besides that those who
hold positions at Washington are allowed
from ten to fifteen days absence at election
time to 80 to their homes and vote, while
their salaries In every case 20 on.
The letter carriers enjoy none Of these
privileges, but have to be at the office. before
day In the morning. and are not done un til
late at night, are exposed 70 the inclemency

them during the different deliveries, to walk
over twenty-five miles each day they are on
duty.
They climb up flights of stairs, in and out
Of offices, up back alleys, and are often kept
waiting at the doors by tardy servants in the
bitter cold or amid pitiless storms of rain or
snow. They ure allowed no leave of absence,
and are supposed to work every day in the
year. They have no Sundays or holidays to
themselves, and If carrier is sick or dis
abled while on duty his pay goes to substi-
tute. These are matters that should receive
some attention from Congress. and as the
carriers only ask to be put on an equality
and enjoy the same privileges as other en-
plOyees of the Government, their claims
should not be ignored.
