She Would Not Sew on His Buttons.
PhiladelDhia Times

That was wise Judge who, in our courts few
days ago, dismissed the complaint of a woman
against her husband for some harshness of treat
ment because she refused to sew on his buttons.
The tendency of the girl of the period is to stick
pin in anywhere instead of sewing on button,
if she can. Some girls will even pin up rents in
their dresses rather than take time to thread
needle and do little neat sewing. Any neglect
of this kind ought to be met by the eternal con-
demnation of every rightminded man. By and
by wives may be telling their husbands to pin ON
the buttons and not expect any sewing done in
that line.
1t is not pleasant to see lady's fingers all stuck
and roughened by the use of the needle, but there
are not so Rany beautiful hands that it is worth
while to deny great principle of domestic duty
in order to protect them. In fact, the girls and
wives whose hands are choice enough to demand
special protection are also usually careful enough
of their own and their husbands appearance not
to neglect the button business. And slovenly per-
sons have few rights that civilization ought to be
bound to resnect.

An Old Offender Caught.-Some time in
1888 an old man who gave the name of William
Willow, was arrested on the charge of attempting
to steal horse from Mr.. Daniel Steever, on the
Philadelphia road He was lodged in Jail at this
place and while awaiting trial he made his escape
with several other prisoners. Nothing was heard
of him since until Monday night, when he was
again arrested at Calverton in this county, charg
ed with attempting to steal horse from Mr.. W.
L. Steger, of that place. This old villain, who
has for years made a business of horse stealing,
is wanted in Washington and also in Trenton,
N. j., were he has been plying his vocation. He
has served term in the Pennsylvania penitentiary
for horse stealing. He now says his name is
Charles Smith, and in New Jersey he went under
the name of Antoine Menu. 1t is said that Will
low was at one time prosperous farmer near
Lancaster, Pa, but having fondness for horse
stealing he gave up the former and engaged in
the latter business. He is man of near seventy
years of age and it is thought that his decreptap
pearance has been great help to him, as no one
would suppose for moment that man of his
age could be successful horse thief. Willow
was brought to Towsontown Jail on Wednesday,
and it is likely that Sheriff Knigh will see that he
does not escape again.

On the Wrong Train.-A jolly Republican
of this place, went to Belair Monday night to sec
the torchight procession and illumination. Hav-
ing seen enough to convince him that the thing
was a success, he departed for tho railroad sta
ton and seating himself comfortably near the
stove in one of the coaches, soon sound asleep.
His repose was undsturbed until the conductor
came to him for his ticket, when he passed over
the pasteboard, upon which was printed, "From
Towson to Belair and Return" The conductor
informed him that the ticket was n. g., that he
was going in the wrong direction, and that the
train was just then entering Delta He had taken
a seat in the wrong train and had been carried
to Delta instead of Towsontown. But this little
mistake did not discomfort him in the least and
he was not long in Catching on" to the situation.
He took a room at hotel, slept soundly the bal
ance of the night, got good breakfast and reach
ed here at SIS the next morning He says his
hotel bill, with few little "extras," was only 80
cents, and he has reason to regret that part of
the trip But he will think about it before he goes
to another Democratic jamboree.

last, in the Superior Court of Baltimore, was COM
menced tie case of Elizabeth r. Stirling, Eliza
beth Ann Stirling, Stirling Murray, Harriet L..
Gable and husband, James II. Gable and Archi-
bald 7. Stirling against Archibald Stirling, ST.,
executor ofElizabeth Anderson, deceased, of Mont
rose, Baltimore county. The case has been pend
ing for some time, having been commenced IN
Baltimore county in September, 1882, and subse-
quently removed to Howard county by the cavea-
tees and thence to the Superior Court by the cav
Gators. The contest is over the will of Mrs.
Elizabeth Anderson, sister Of Mr. Archibald Stir
ling, the defendant executor, and of Robert and
William Stirling, both deceased, and aunt OF
Archibald Stirling, Jr, United States District At
torney.

estate, valued at about $165.O00, left entirely
to relatives S. 900 to the heirs of Robert Stirling,
49, 900 to the heirs of William Stirling, and 5000
to the heirs of Mrs. Murray sister the testatrix,
and the balance of the estate to Archibald Stir
ling, her brother and executor, and his family 1t
is claimed that few days prior to the execution
of the will that Mrs. Anderson was attacked with
apoplexy, and that she was, before and at the time
of making the will, not of sound and disposing
mind, and that she was influenced by Mr.. Archi-
bald Stirling. Mr.. Archibald Stirling, Jr., under
the will, receives the farm "Montrose, and all
other lands in Baltimore county, together with the
horses, cattle, household furniture and personal
property. After the requests, Mr.. Archibald Stir
ling, Sr., is made resduary legatee and executor.
The defence claims that Mrs. Anderson was OF
perfectly sound and disposing mind, and that she
had reasons, which she expressed for not bequeath-
ing of her estate to the heirs of her deceased
sister and BROTHER and that she in fact, desired to
leave all her estate away from them, and was only
induced to leave them what she did through the
advice af Mr.. Archibald Stirling.

What it Amounts To.
PHILADELPHIA Led0er.

1HVUueIPHIu LtUyeT'
"Maud S." waiting and axious public is in
formed, has made her record secure by covering a
mile in 2O9t. After "Jay- Eye-See" had made
the then best record of 2:1O, "Maud" again took
the lead in 2:09a. The margin was very small,
and for three months or more efforts have been
made to give it another cut This has been ac-
complished, and "Maud" is now three quarters of
a second ahead of "Jay-E e-See's" best time.
This seems like short lead in time, but if the
horses were racing together, "Maud" at the 2:O9t
rate and "Jay ye-See" at the 210 rate, the
mare at the finish of the mile would be thirty feet
ahead which would make a bad beat.

Growing Pears.-P. T. Quinn, speaking
from twenty five years experience in growing
pears for profit, and from unusual opportunities
for observation both in this country and Europe,
saws in the New York Tribune: "If were about
to plant pear orchard now, and could get dwarf
trees for nothing, and was compelled to pay
$500 thousand for Standards would not hest
tate moment in making selection of standards.
The tempting theory that dwarfs will bear
fruit in a couple of years from the time of plant
ing is dangerous and bad theory to practice. A
near tree should not be allowed to bear any fruit
until it is FIVE or six years in place, and one
healthy standard pear at IL years of age is worth
a dozen of dwarf trees kept as dwarfs at the same
age"

Good Side Walks.--An exchange in speaking
of the advantage of good side walks, says that sin
estimating the character, advantages and attrac-

it, and the sidewalks upon which pedestrians
are dependent first arrests attention and lays tho
foundation of the general judgment of place
They are, if anything, more important in this
view than the pavements of the streets; and if

impossible stones, having his feet caught in holes
resulting from defective bricks, or stumbling his
toes against bricks which have been raised out
of their beds by the growth of the roots Of trees

Ingrowing Nail.

NJ Monod states that during the last twenty
years he has treated ingrowing nail by very
simple and effectual method which does not in
yolve the removal of the nail. He makes free
application of nitrate of silver at the commence
ment of the affection, without isolating the nail
If the condemnation is carried deeply into the dis
eased furrow, the patient has usually, even by the
next day, derived considerable relief, and is able
even thus early, to walk in moderation with an
easy shoe. Extirpation of the nail should be re-
served for quite exceptional cases.
