The death roll of the passing year
bears u remarkable number of distin-
guished names. Gambetta was the
first and perhaps the most important.
Shortly after follows that of Prince
Charles, the brother of the German
Emperor. The next day Gustave Dore,
the most fruitful of artists, was cut off
in his prime, and three days later the
musical composer FlotOw. The next
noted name added to the roll was that
of Sir Salar Jung. Next follows Wag-
ner, the revolutionist of music, whom
a writer has denounced as the foe of
France and Ofmusic. Lord Selbourne's
name joined the roll last week, as in a
day or two did the old Greek states
man Coumoundouros, and this week
the venerable Russian statesman Gort-
schakoff. During the same time many
American names known to fame have
been put on the final roll Hawaiian
Minister Allen, Lot NJ. Morrill,, Clark
Mills, DIR. Beard, William E. Dodge,
Marshall Jewell, Thorne the actor

An extraordinary amount of inter
est has been displayed in the newspa-
pers over the marriage of ex-senator
David Davis, which after years of bab-
BILE about it, took place Wednesday.
What is it that has raised all the inter
est? Not his great age, for he is yet
but sixty-eight years old. Not his vast
size, for there are men of greater girth
and weight in the country who get
married. Not his exalted Office. for
though he has been a Judge and a
Senator, he is now but a private citi-
zen. Not his chance of being nominal
ed as President, for thousands of other
men have this chance. Not his wealth,
for there are thousands of far richer
men. Well, what is the reason of the
interest in it, anyhow?

Easter Eggs.

Easter comes very early indeed this
year upon the 25th of March, which
is almost as early as it can ever be,
and before long, children will begin to
think about preparing what in old
times used to be called paas eggs. 1t
is good plan, too, for the egg cOlOrers
of a neighborhood to hold a sort of
"bee," and unite in the production of
the dyes, thus saving time and money.
The exchange of eggs between
friends, as a token of love or friend
ship, is very ancient custom, dating
back almost to the flood, for it is a
symbol of the ark, as we'll as of the
resurrection, which is the reason that
we present them at Easter. 1t is more
over very universal custom prevail
ing among different nations and relig-
ions. The Jews placed eggs on their
Passover tables, the Druids used them
in their ceremonies, and the Persians
frequently give them as New Years
gifts. If you should happen to be in
Russia this month, Russian would
greet you on Easter morning with
"Christ is risen," and offer you an
Easter egg,-and stranger still, if you
were in the far East, Mohammedan
would do the same. At city confec.
tioners, fancy sugar eggs-some o.
them of enormous size, and containing
panoramas of landscapes and figures
or else filled with bon-bons,- may bC
had at all prices; but appropriate
homemade ones are worth twice a!
much.
To dye eggs, onion skins put in the
water in which they are boiled viii
, make them bright yellow; or, if lef

z in figures, stripes, or dots. Anothe

AN INDISPENSABLE INSTRUMENT
Recent improvements in the making of
stylographic pens have made them a
very serviceable and almost indispen-
sable instrument for those having oc-
casion to do much writing and who de-
sire convenient pen at hand wher-
ever they may be. They have come
into such general use that it is rather
late to recommend them to anybody,
but there have been some improve
ments in the manufacture of the Liver
more Stylographic Pen relating to the
fastening of the needle and the ease
with which it can be cleaned and re-
paired, which have Occasioned much
favorable comment. There are now
over 100000 of these pens in use, to
say nothing of numerous inferior imita-
tiOns. They make not only very
handsome but very useful implement.
The manufacturers have cut down the
price of their short plain pens to 50,
and short gold mounted to $3.50 each.
By remitting the amount to Louis E.
Dunlap, Manager Stylographic Pen
Company, 290 Washington street, Bos-
ton, the pen, together with a package
of superior ink, will be sent by return
mail, and the money will be at once re-
funded if they do not prove to be per
feet and satisfactory in every respect

MORRIS HEARD FROM.-C. H. Baker,
Esq, who defended Joseph Morris at
the last term of court, against the
charge of having willfully shot and
killed Mrs. Turner, at Morris Station,
recently received a communication
from Morris, who is now serving out a
sentence of eighteen years in the Mary
land penitentiary. He expresses him
self as being well pleased with the Off
GERS at the penitentiary, and the treat
ment he receives. He says he has got
good trade, but it is hard, hot and
dangerous. He still maintains that he
shot Mrs Turner accidentally. He
say he wrote out all the particulars OF
the occurrence for the benefit of his
counsel, but the authorities destroyed
the papers. Morris winds up his letter
by giving assurance that he has re.
formed. To quote his exact words -

Gus on the Peninsula's dividing ridge |
were most likely made by the surface
eddies, just as basins are to-day found
at the mouth of our creeks. The
steady, onward march of the waters
from their original line is observable
everywhere. In the North of the
State are rocks, but, as the South is
reached, the sand becomes more and
more plentiful, showing how the ocean
pushed it before it, dropping rocks and
boulders as long as the supply lasted,
and keeping the light sand in advance,
in constantly increasing quantities, like
snow before a sweeper, and finally
launching it in vast masses around
Lewes, and from there to Berlin and
Ocean City.
Sussex's famous cypress swamp
stands an anomaly in the sandy forma-
ton. The present growth is four feet
above vast forest, long since buried,
which may, in time, have superseded,
at similar height, another growth !;
and thus the process may have gone on
for ages. Even now, a second cypress
swamp is forming above the present
one, and along the Indian River.
THE ORIGINAL SWAMP.
At the time of the formation of the
original swamp, the ocean line probab-
ly extended in about straight line
from the mouth of Milford Creek to
the West side of the swamps. The re,
ceeding of the water, and the with.
drawal of the pressure, was followed
by falling off of the currents, which
dropped their deposits along the ther
water line. Thus was made basin O
red clay, cut from the new-formeC
river channels, while the light sands
washed from these clays were carried
by the currents further out, taken VI
by the wave action of the ocean, anC
deposited as a reef, where now exist
the sand ridge from Millsboro to Dags
borough. The sinking of the water
left the entire Peninsula high and dry
and the great basin remained an inlet
to grow up as a cypress swamp.
To touch again on the drifts an
currents and their sources, it is likel
that large portion of the Peninsul
below Indian River was formed by tn
Susquehanna. What action was exer
ed by the Delaware River was accom-
e plished at first when the water-hea
: was very great, rushing the currents
their EXTREMIST limit of pulsation int
u the ocean. One other peculiar form;
s ton, that of the Lewes sand dunes, r,
mains to be mentioned. The san
pushed down from New Castle by tt
IS onrushing waters was augmented /
l. that washed up from the sea, an
V twisted and rolled into immense hi
e locks, as variable as woman's desire
1t as treacherous as a gamblers affectiC
Y, and q perpetual source of DANCE

IS remorselessly by the dunes and buri,
n beyond the shadow of a chance
r, future discovery.

A Serious Domestic Warning.

The terrible social and domestic rev.
elations brought out in the trial of N.
L. Dukes, at UniOntown, Pa, for the
murder of Captain Mutt, by the testi-
mony and by the letters which pass ed
between the accused and the deceased,
point a moral which should not 90 un-
needed in any household. They en-
phasize with solemn impressiveness the
necessity for thorough family discipline
and the Importance of guarding with
greater vigilance than ever the youth
and innocence of inexperienced girls
from the snares and temptations which
they may meet at the outset of life
The strict formality and conventional
ism which characterize social customs
in England, for instance, are perhaps
too stiff and constrained, yet once more
the old question arises-which has
been discussed publicly and privately
so often before under the warnings of
similar cases-would it not be bet
ter to have little more of English
strictnesS in our social forms, and
a good deal less of the wild freedom in
which many American girls are per-
mitted to indulge? The unfortunate
girl who was the sad cause of her
fathers death was probably allowed no
more liberty than thousands of Ameri-
can parents grant to their children, but
it may be safely asserted from the let
ters written by Dukes to Captain Mutt,
and which were part of the testimony
in the case, that parental license is
answerable for much of the ruin and
desolation that have been wrought.
And this may be said without reflect
ing in the slightest degree upon the
parents themselves in this particular
case. In permitting his daughter tC
enjoy the unguarded and unrestricted
cOmpanionship of gentlemen, Captain
Mutt was simply following what ha.
become q widespread custom in tn,
United States, and one which, to ;
large extent, has grown up with a nev
! country and grown out of the peculia
, conditions which necessarily charaC
, terized American society in the begin
: ming. There has been felt to be a sor
of appropriateness in conforming tn
spirit and forms of our social fabric t.
those of our political institutions an
. we have rejoiced to think that broad
. er and less rigid domestic training ha
given the female character in Americ
strength and freshness and indepen
4 dence which are apt to be lackin
. under more severe and auStere devel
y Opment. But it seems time to refleC
! whether the limit has not been owe
|. stepped, since we have so long Ou
: grown the simple customs which wei
once appropriate and comparative
: free from danger. At all events, it
~ not too much to say that laxity
= morals is too often due to laxity
&C domestic discipline. Certainly Il
wretched story that is told in the tri
at Uniontown carries with it a warnil
- that parents everywhere should seriou
. ly lay to heart. OF Dukes, who
acquittal in court does not acqr
before society, and which acquittal h
raised storm of indignation, the
can be but one opinion; yet we

The New Senate.

In the next Senate, after the New
Hampshire Legislature shall have
elected a successor to Mr.. Rollins in
June, the Republicans will have a
majority of two. Malone and Riddle
berger, the two Virginia Repudiators,
will serve as assistant Republicans.
But this margin is too narrow for any
experiments in legislation. The recent
votes on the tariff demonstrate that the
West will insist on reduction and re-
forms.
The war of factions has not ceased.
1t is suspended temporarily because
Congress has adjourned. Rut there is
no truce, and there is no probability of
harmony being restored. The Half
Breeds and the Stalwarts are waiting
for a chance to exhibit the bitterness
of hostility on either side. The oppor-
tunity will be found next winter, pre-
ceding the National Convention.
The Republicans in the Senate have
not been strengthened by the recent
accessions to that side. They have re-
elected four, viz, Anthony, Hoar, Frye,
and Plumb, of the eleven seats that
were vacated on the 4th of March,
Bowen, who succeeds Tabor from
Colorado, has a smirched reputation
Cullom, who takes the place of Judge
Davis, is keen and successful politi
clan; Wilson of Iowa, who follow:
McDill, is identified with the great
railroad corporations. He is man O

Dolph, who takes Growers place,

Mahone's lieutenant.
The Democrats reelected ten of thei
; Senators whose terms expired on tn
4th of March, viz, Morgan, Garland
Salisbury, Beck, Lamar, Mcpherson
! Ransom, Butler, Harris, and Cox
: They are all trained Legislators, an
