A Lady Who Is sSOnly Eccentric"

People seem to think that an insane
person is not dangerous until he or she
commits some deed of actual violence,
says a New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Record l know of wo-
man whose family says that she is not
insane, but goes into the parlor when
ever her daughter has company and
drives the terrified guest out into the
streets. This singular woman has
taken an aversion to pie, and for long
time there has been none on the family
table; but one day recently the son, a
young man of two-and-twenty, felt a
longing for pie that he could not resist,
and he had some sent home from the
bakers. The waiter placed it on the
table with rs great unconcern as he
could muster and stepped back to
await results. The mothers eye fell
upon the offending dish. a pie" she.
screamed; "who ordered a pie for my
tablet" II did, mother" said the
young man in a conciliatory voice. You
did, and you know l wouldn't have
pie in the housed" and with that she
sprang from her chair, and, seizing a
carving knife from the sideboard, chased
the young man from room to room, and
would have done him an injury if he
had not escaped to a room where he
could lock himself in. But the family
say she is not crazy, she is only eccen-
trio.

A Profitable Poultry Farm.

poultry farm of 5000 Plymouth Rocks is
owned and carried on by A. C. Hawkins at Lam
caster, near Boston, Massachusetts. He calculates
to have about 5000 fowls every fall, and carries
over about 1900 laying hens through the winter.
AT the present time he has 10000 including all
sizes. His farm contains twenty five acres and
his poultry buildings occupy an acre and half.
They are situated on the south slope of hill,
and comprise six or seven sheds, 200 feet in
length. Each shed is divided into apartments of
1920 feet and about twenty five hens are kept
in each division. A yard is made in front of each
apartment, so that the members Of each are by
themselves. Mr.. Hawkins believes that if con-
fined poultry have all their wants attended to
they will do as we'll in reproduction as if allow
ed free range. He bases this belief upon several
tests. In Matching time he sets 200 hens on one
day, and puts 500 eggs in an incubator, which is
due to hatch on the same day, the chickens from
which will be distributed among the 2O0 hens.
Boston is one of the best markets for fancy prices
for eggs and poultry, and his sales of fowls and
eggs for Matching at fancy prices are large, about
80 per cent. being profit He also has standing
order for sixty to ninety dozens of eggs daily, for
which he gets the highest market price. Mr..
Hawkins began at the age of 81 with 100 hens,
and by careful management and economy his
business has enlarged, that at the age of 20 he
has very handsome income. The manure from
the poultry is quite item he sold last year 500
barrels at 81 so a barrel

THE NEXT LRGIsLATURE.

1t is conceded that the Legislature just elected
will consist of u Republicans and IA Democrats
in the Senate, and 90 Republicans and 81 Demo-
Gratis in the House. This is Republican gain OF
two in the Senate and loss of two in the House.
The Democrats have two majority in the Senate.
Washington and Frederick, two of the strongest
RepubIcan counties in the State, lost one sena-
IIsId oiUotvd their
Senatorial candidates in these counties it would
have given them control of the Senate.
The Republicans also lost the Third Legisla-
tive district of Baltimore city by nominating for
Senator very unpopular man, whose candidacy
dragged the entire ticket down with him; himself
running over 800 votes behind it. This was a
severe rebuke to improper methods in making
nominations, but the success of the State ticket
in the Legislative district should not have been
jeOpardized to crafty the overweaning vanity of
one or two individuals.

HE REMEMBERED HER.
A Newport Colored Woman Inherits a
Large Property from her Old
Master in the South.

Newport, r. l., Mercury, Noe. 3.
Flora Baker, colored woman living on Claren-
don Court in this city, has recently fallen heir to
large property in the South. She was formerly
a slave owned by W. W. Woodbridge, wealthy
planter in Virginia, and after receiving her free
dom papers at the close of the rebellion, took her
two children, girl and boy, and started for the
North in search of work which would bring her
in sufficient income for the support of herself and
small family. She had an excellent recommends,
ton from her late master, whom she had served
as housekeeper, that gentleman being a bachelor.
Finally she came to Newport and has since made
this her home. For some time she was employed
in the family of the late Philip CaswelI, Jr.,
where she was commonly known as "Mammy,"
but lately she has been doing washing for various
families about the neighborhood in which she
lived.
The other day lady for whom Flora has been
in the habit of washing, CHANGED to read in pa
per a statement that New York was being search
ed for Flora Baker, who was heir to a large prop
erty left her by her former master who had re-
Gently died, and, thinking it might refer to her
washerwoman, she spoke to her husband about it..
The gentleman interviewed the woman, and,
being satisfied that his wife's idea was correct.
telegraphed parties making the search in New
York to the effect that the missing heiress was
here. She is undoubtedly the person wanted and
has gone to Virginia to establish her claim.

RESULT IN THE COUNTY.

The election which took place in the county on
Tuesday last was preceded by one of the most
active and spirited canvasses that has ever been
known. The result is victory for the Whole
Democratic ticket McLane for Governor received
1908 votes, and Holton 5,355.
In the election for Governor in 1879 Hamilton
received 6,S52 votes and Gary 4,1S4. The DEM
ocratc vote is therefore but 5l more for Governor
than in 1879, while the Republican vote is LII
more than it was in that year. The Republicans
have been steadily gaining strength for the past
eight years and it is to be hoped the conciliation
and union which have characterized the party in
the late canvass may be continued and cultivated
most earnestly.
If all the sections had worked as energetically
as Woodberry did the Democratic majority would
be considerably reduced if not entirely overcome.
Fellow Republicans, buckle on your armOr for
the Presidential contest of next year. The Re-
publican victories of Tuesday last in many of the
doubtful states are highly encouraging and sure

dent in 1884

ELECTIONS IN OTHER STATES-GRAND
REPUBLICAN VICTORIES.

The elections throughout the country on Tues
day last have broken many Presidential states
and choked to death the Presidential bees buzzing
in the heads of many a Democratic statesman.
The States which the critical calculators had put
into the doubtful column were put back into the
Renubliean column by the voters themselves on
Tuesday. calculation on paper and one in the
open balot-b box are entirely different in the eer-
tainty of their results The $4,000 Democratic
majority given last year to Cleveland for Cover
nor of New York, was changed to 1900 for the
Republican candidate at the head of the State
ticket this year The 10000 majority given last
year to Pattison, the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania, is changed to 22,OOO
for the Republican candidate heading the State
ticket this year. Connecticut has increased her
Republican majority; so has Minnesota, Ne
braska, and every State that Democrats rested
their hopes upon. Republican Legislatures were
elected in many of the States heretofore control
led by Democrats in both Houses. Even Massa-
ehusetts cast forth Butler the tray to be served
up as a savory Democratic meal.
The elections of Tuesday have blighted the
Democratic prospects for next years canvass anu
the pitiable wall and mysterious explanations
which the leading Democratic papers are lnduls-
ing in are some evidences that the solid phalanx
of Republican votes drove them into wilderness
of doubt and dependency. Now they viii have
to look for new Presidential Moses. Will it be
HoadIey? Will it?

says: "The prohibitionists have been trying for
a number of years to break down the Republican
party, with heinsane belief that they would be able
to collect enough fragments to construct party
with Prohibition the corner stone. They may
build such party, but it will be many a day before
it will become powerful enough to accomplish any,
thing. The Republican party has given Ohio the

INCREASED REPUBLICAN VOTE.

While the Republicans did not succeed in elect
ing the Hon. Hart B. Holton Governor, they
made gallant fight and rolled up largely in
creased vote over that cast by the party in 1879
The total vote for Governor was 165,7l9, of which
McLane received s8,S96, and Holton 6,S25. Nc
Lane received 1877 less votes than Hamilton did
in 1879, the vote for Governor then being 90,77l.
The Republican vote throughout the State
shows large gain. The vote for Gary in 1879
was 6S,609, and that cast on Tuesday last for
Holton was 1926, an increased Republican vote
of s,216. The decrease of 1,S77 in the Demo-
cratic vote added to the increased Republican
vote gives a total gain Of 10,O93 to the Republi-
can column. There were $3.50 more votes polled
on Tuesday than in 1879, when the combined vote
of both parties was 159, $50. The Republican
party in Maryland is growing rapidly. The
