THE CARNIVAL.

The Carnival festivities in New
Orleans in 1888 will long be remen
tered by those who had the pleas
IRE of witnessing them. The in
mense crowds Of people, represent
ing all nations Of the earth, and
every State in the Union we're a Gu
riosity, calculated to arouse the
wonder Of every ~ who looked up
on the moving masses il the
. streets.
The entrance of Reg, the grand
King OF the Carnival, OH Monday
opened the festivities. at night
the appearance Of the Knights of
Proteus il gorgeous and magnif
cent procession awakened the en-
thusiasm Of the visitors to whom
such sights were strange, new, aud
weird.
On Tuesday the whole city gave
itself up to fun and frollc. Early
in the morning gay masquers in fan
tastical costumes paraded the
streets to the delight of the little
boy and the wonder of the stran
gers.
Then came Rex, leading his gor
geous professions of moving tab
leans, exhibiting in historical views
the lost Atlantis, swallowed up in
the waters of the Atlantic at a pc
Rod in the past to which the mind
running not.
His train this year, was, in all
probability superior in magnifcence
to any Of his previous exhibitions.
He was followed by the Phunny
Forty Fellows in a series Of tab
leaus, both instructive and anus
ing. The Independent Order Of
the Moon, closed up the long caval-
cade Of rollicking registers creating
immense fun for the lockers on, and
causing shouts OF laughter all
along the route.
At night tie appearance of
the knights OF Menus was simply
grand, sublime and wonderful.
One universal exclamation of de
light greeted Momus along the line
indicated for his triumphal march.
Streets, sidewalks, galleries, trees,
telegraph poles were all one living
mass of delighted humanity.
On Wednesday morning, mirth
had flown, gaiety had disappeared,
the Carnival was over, and the mul
titudes sought their distant homes
by rail, by river and by sea.

ers. IL any, and their issue and the
l children Of the testatOr's deceased sis
/ tiers. Nehemiah Davis died leaving
| his two daughters, four brothers and
children of three deceased sisters In the
I land of the living. The question then
arose whether, under the will, the
daughters became owners of the estate
in fee simple and could sell the same
and give a valid title. To test this
feigned sale of lot was made for $500,
the purchaser refusing, however, when
the deed was rendered, to cOnsummate
his part of the transaction, alleging in
ability of the seller to give clear title.
Upon this record the case came before
the Court of Errors and Appeals. The
decision of the COurt,rendered by the
Chancellor and cOncurred in by Judges
WOOten, Houston and Wales, was that
the daughters are absolute owners of
the estate in fee simple, subject to no
contingency whatever, Judge Come
gvs delivered n dissenting opinion.
The question turned upon whether the
testatOr, in speaking of the death Of !
his daughters without issue. had in his |
mind the contingency Oftheir dying |
before himself or the contrary. The |
majority of the Court interpreted the
vii as contemplating the contingency
IF their death during the lifetime Of
he testatOr. In his dissenting Opin-
on Judge COmegys stated that if per-
on wishes only TO secure an equitable
livisiOn Ofhis estate among his natural
leirs. the law would make a good
nough will for him.

MEssRs EDToRs.-We noticed In your loca
columns week or two since, that Mr. John II
APPEL had sold out his business in this town, and
was shortly to leave us, to engage IN business
where he would have larger field 10 work in
and better opportunity to use to advantage his
great business tact and ability.
Is it not a great loss to Milford, to have one Of
ITS most enterprsing, most accommodating, and
withal, most successful men Of business, TO leave
MS for other fiells Of labor. Mr.. APPEL came to
Milford about twenty years ago, without dollar
that he could call his own. He Immediately en-.
g ged. in a small way. in the confectionery and
bakery business. and by hard work, strict atten-
tion to business, and careful management, his
business increased in such proportions as to com.
pell him TO build. what, proved to be when com,
pleted, one Of the completest and handsomest
buildings in the town. After moving into this
large aud cOmmOdious new building, Nr. APPEL
increased his business in many ways, The first
thing he did was TO fit up. what is TO the present
time, the largest and finest ice cream saloon on
the Peninsula, South Of Wilmington. Many a
beautiful and pleasing sentence, and avowel of
love- has been whispered by the lover to the OBJ
iect OF his love, whe enjoying the elegant cream
ia this coy and pleasant saloon Of Mr.. Apels.
Another way in which Mt. APPEL increased his
busa IS greatly. was TO send a large wagon to
the neighboring towns, to supply them with
bread. cakes. confectionery, cigars and tobacco.
&C., &c. Mr.. APPEL supplied, to a great extent.
lie whole of Sussex county, and portions OF Ma
'yland and Virginia, with their ice cream.
Mr.. APPEL will long be remembered and honor.
ID by the citizens OF this community, and esp ci-
lily by hose, who have so off, in days gone by,
passed pleasant hour in his elegant ice cream
lsrlors
We wish MT- Ape pleasant, prosperous ana
happy life while on earth, and when his days
below are at an end, we trust he will be taken
