4 BEAUTIFUL specimen Of floral en-
balning was delivered in Frostburg
this week by ldr. Henry Weber, Of
Cumberland. A neat, pretty wreath
consigned to him for pEescrvative
treatment was taken in hand, tmbalm-
ed, set upon an e6on background and
tastily framed. 1t appears now as
pure and lresa as wheu the flow ers
wero originally cut and tw;oed. The
work ~aa done by Mr.. Weber himself,
and his taste and skill in this should
attract many more jobs of tto same
character.

The Terrors of an Epidemic.


Nothing is more curious than the fact
that dying as one of a crowd seems to be
more terrible TO man than simply dying
his own individual death. Unquestiona-
bly, there seems to be no kind of death
more dreaded by men than death either
from sudden catastrOphes-like that of
the Ring Theatre at Vienna and that on
the Clyde, for Instance-or from pesti-
Ience. No doubt it is perfectly true that
death cannot be shared in the same sense
in which peril or a pleasure can be
shared. You cannot in all probability be
conscious Ofthe strength Ofcompanionship
after life begins to flicker low, nor are
there above one or two people in the
world with whom most men would cnyet
the sense OF cOmpanionshp in such
moment as that of death. Still. it is some
what curious that death on a grand scale
always seems to be more terrible, even to
the separate individuals, than the ordi-
nary death by units. OF course, terror
is very catching, and, therefore, the terror
of crowd always enhances the terror of
the individual. But though that explains
the supreme agony of a sinking shin or a
burning theatre, it does not in the least eX-
plain the additional dread of death which
plague seems to inspire in individuals, for
between the inhabitants OF a plague
stricken city there is always very much
less actlVe sympathy than there was
before the pestilence appeared, and it is
rather through the growth of mutual
repulsion than through the heightening of
a common sympathy that the influence of
pestilence is chiefly felt. AS fact, very
few patients stricken with ordinary dis
ease, who are told that death is inevit-
able, show any panic at all, while the
perfectly healthy man, surrounded by
pestilence, is too often consumed with Il
terror which renders him absolutely unfit
for the discharge of his duties.

ADMIRAL woRDEN's VIEWS.
Politics in the Navy-The Necessity of
New and Better Ships.


Il tell you," said the Admiral in a COM
manding tone, "the personnel of our navy
is all wrong, and always will be until the
qualiflcatIons of navy officer cease to be
governed by the amount of political infiu-
ence he can control. We have names on
our register to this day, and the men who
answer to them have been found guilty of
selling their pay several times to as
many broker sharks. COurtmartial them
the result is the same. Men of COM
manding influence demand a revocation
of the sentence, and it is invariably done.
while the officer repeats the Offense.
Statesmen who have been the most ar
dent advocates of civil service reform
nave besieged the doors of the Secretary
of the Navy and undone the findings of a
court martial in cases where our ships
have gone down or been disabled in for
elgn waters through the criminal care
lessness of their officers in command.
ms is all wrong, and politics ought not
to rule the navy"
''Will the next Congress build up the
American naVy?'
There is no denying the fact that the
quality and quantity of our vessels have
brought upon us reprOach from all quar-
ters. NO body of men has felt this so
keenly as the American Congress. but. for
pollucal reasons, attempts to remedy the
dlfhculty have proven fruitless. We have
had no new ship because the cry of Sob
berry, steal,' has been raised, and there
has been suspicion that one party is
afraid the other would make some poiiti-
cal capital out of laws that improved the
service. | believe, however, that the new
ships just contracted for are but the COM
mencement of more to follow, and the
tlme is not far distant when the American

THE ROMANCE OF A PARDON.
Shot and Imprisoned Six Years for
Claiming His Wife.

James McDOugall, who was sentenced
to Imprisonment in the Auburn prison for
ten years in October, 1877, for burglary in
the first degree, has been pardoned. The
Governor gives the following excellent
reasons for his action:
''The wife of the convict left him and
for some time he could not discover her
whereabouts. He learned that she was
living with another man, Ostensibly as a
domestic, but, as it now seems to be con-
coded, actually in a very different relation.
The husbands repeated requests that she
should return to him and restore his
child, which she had taken with her. were
refused and his efforts in that direction
were resented by the man with whom she
was living. The crime of which the
prisoner was convicted consisted in burst
ing into the house where his wife had taken
up her abode in the night, apparently with
the idea of reclaiming her and his child.
He was confronted by the man who had
alienated and was harbOring his wife, and
was shot by him and nearly killed. As
soon as he had sufficiently recovered of
his wounds to appear in court, he was
convicted Of burglary in the first degree,
and sentenced to prisen for ten years.
Nearly six years of his term of imprison
ment having expired, had but little diff
ticulty in agreeing with the Judge who
sentenced him and the attorney who
prosecuted the indictmedt in their opin-
ion that he should be released"
