A Large Party.

Among the most brilliant affairs of
the season was q masquerade party at
the house of Mr.. JaIuas- Armcr near
Oak Hill school house, on Thursday
evening, April Goth. Both town and
country friends were well represented,
a four-horse hack bringing those from
Wilmington while the country folk"
gathered from atar and near" to join
in the festivities. There was such u
general turnout that even Dinah,
Jamiina and Susan were there, but
where were the bride and groom
Mrs. Muldoone was 50 very crusty
with Patsy that he flew to Bridget, who
gladly rescued him, and there was a
general "mash;" it was whispered
somebody was very much "disbustcd !"
Sambo had his right eye completely
shut up, but regardless Of his mistor-
time, seemed to enjoy having Pink ill
the other eye.
King Calico completely "sluashed F."
the old maid, who, with the young
cOuntryman and the Ounce were sadly
needing some balm, having fallen into
the hands Of the Indian on their way,
when, AS good fortune would have it,
st. Jacobs Oil came walking in, and all
seemed going on well until the goat
butted over the oil.
Just then the shepllcrdess, returning
from the mountain top, stopped in to-
see what was the trouble, and did
what she could, rs shcpherdess
should" TO pacify the crowd. Sweet
Spring, ETHEREAL mildness, was there
and gladly welcomed by all, bringing
with her warmth, gladness and flowers,
and showed her generosity by throwing
to all " datfy" and Il hyacnth. The
young sailor, just in port, now deter
mined to devote the rest of his life 10
the calse of education, but, Under the
ardent gaze Of the Goddess of Liberty, |
found it hard to maintain Il soldierly |
bearing.
The whole scene was gorgeous beyond |
description amid birds and flowers !:
among the former the parrot made him
self very conspicuous.
Alta Scasonable hour the company
was invited to the dining room, where
all were most graciously helped by the
young lady of the house, assisted by
three Of her most intimate friends.
Here there was no restraint, masks
were gone, enemies proved TO be our
most intimate friends, and a general
good feeling prevailed.
Having done justice to fruit, nuts,
cake and berries, the party retired for
moonlight rambles, ETC., after which,
when all could be called together again,
there was a grand concert. Returning
home 10y the light Of the morning moon,
the country folk were just III time
to milk, while those from town had to
hurry and put on "shop clothes" and
run to their work, having no sleep and
no breakfast. All day long they were
cross aud miserable, but when the day
was done, exhausted, they cried, "save
your mask for another" S.

A Woman Hanged in l7ss.

The execution of females has been OF
rare occurrence in New England. 1t il
said the last was that of Ruth B!ay OF
South Hampton, N. H., who was
executed at Portsmouth, December 30,
1868. Brewster, in one of his volumes
Of " Rambles About Portsmouth, thus
alludes to it, In August, 1868, Ruth
Blay, of South Hampton, was Indicted
for concealing the death Of a child,
whereby il might not be known
whether it was born alive or not.
The English statute prescribed the
penalty of death for this otiense. The
blood-written law was not repealed lln-
til 1872, when mildGr punishment
was substituted for that Of death. The
cXOrdium of Attorney-General Claggrtt
in the above prosecution is still remenl-
bered for its pompouS solemnity. He
called Heaven to witness that he was
discharging Il duty that he owed his
country, his King and his Cod An
old lady who was present at the eXccu-
tion of Ruth Biay said, as Ruth was car
ried through the streets her shrieks
filled the air.
She was dressed in silk, and was
driven under the galOws in u cart u.
Public sympathy was awakened for her
and her friends had procured flom the
Governor IL reprievc which would have
soon resulted in her pardon-tor circum-
stances afterwards showed that her
child was probably still-born, and she
was not a nurdrress.
The hour for her execution arrived,
ami the Sheriff, not wishing, it is said,
to be late to his dinner, ordered the cart
driven away, and the unfortunate wo-
man was left hanging from the gaIloWs,
a sacrifice to misguided Judgment. If
we are rightly informed, she was a girl
of good education for her day, having
been Il schoollniStreSS.
The Indignation Of the populace can
hardly y be conceived when it was aacor-
tanned that a repreve from the Governor

The TelIer.HiII COnlrOyersy.

Secretary Teller informed Il represent
tativc Of the Associated Press yesterday
afternoon that he does not intend to
make any formal reply to Senator Hilrs,
letter, and added that, although he
found it was full Of errors and misrep-
reservations, he does not purpose taking
any public notice If any portion Of 1t
| that is local or personal in its character.
/ He did nor think that the public had
any interest in those matters. He said +,
however, that, as to the Yellowstone
Park lease, he took the advice Of his AS
siStant, Mr.. Joslyn, and of Mr.. Mccain
mon, the law officer Of the Department,
and that the lease was, in their opinion,
in accordance with the law. Mr.. Teller
went on to say: at does not, as the
Senator assumes, give control of the
park to the leNsces; amy number of 9TH
er leases may be made in every respect
as advantageous to the lessees as this
one. No exclusive privilege is given,
and no advantage is given in sites. This
lease covers sites for hotel and stage
stations, aggregating ten acres; others
may, if they desire, have the the same. y
As to the rulings OF the Department
III laVOr O1 corporations IN the matter OF
land grants, the Senator made only II
general charge concerning Il matter of
which he could know no more than the
general public. The rulings have all
been made TO conform to the decisions
of the Supreme Court and the opinions
of the Attorney-Gcneral concerning the
duty of the Executive Departments of
the Government in that respect.
Secretary Teller Furthermore re-
marked that he is not authorized to leg
islatc, but simply to administer the
laws, whether such laws are in accor-
dance with his views or nor, and that
Senator Hill might have aScertained
wat are his views on this subject from
the last annual report of the Depart
mcnt Of the Interior.
