A Philadelphia Sensation.

Philadelphia society is stirred to its
foundations by the secret that the di-
vorce suit OF Henry d. Gilpin against
his wife has brought to light. He is
the son of ex-liayor Gilpin, and was
supposed to be q bachelor. He moved
in the best society, and was very popu-
lar with the ladies. It appears that he
was married to Miss Nellie Mulhern, q
neice of his fathers housekeeper and a
remarkably beautiful girl with fair edu-
cation. When informed of the mar
riage the father refused to recognize
his sons wife, and threatened to disin-
herit him if he did not leave her. The
marriage was concealed from the rest
of the Gilpin family and from society at
large. Young Mr.. Gilp;n continued to
reside in luxurious bachelor quarters,
but established his wife in rooms on Sew
enteenth street, and literally support
ed her. Mr.. Gilpin AYERS that he has
been in every respect a faithful and
generous husband, except that he did
not appear with his wife in society.
About a year ago he suspected his wife
of faithlessness, and from that time
ceased to visit her. Her allowance was.
however, continued. Mrs. Gilpin de.

English Letter Writing.

The English write more letters than
any other people in the world, accord
ing to the Postofice report just issued.
The average annual number of written
communications reaches Al per head
81 letters and 4 postcards for each per-
son-being nearly double the amount
of twenty years ago. Correspondence
increases three times more than the
rate of population, andin the year end
ing March 81 last no fewer than l ,322,-
0S6, 800 letters passed through the post,
besides 1853 $3.50, 100 cards, 294. 594, SOC
book packets, and 142, 702 800 news.
papers. In Christmas week the aver.
age number of postal missive passing
through the Central Office is estimated
at 1871 millions, but last Christmas the
number rose to 15,400, 600. This in
crease entailed the employment of 200
additional hands besides the 1900
usually employed in the Central Office.
No other nation approaches these num-
bers, for even in the United States,
which comes second in the matter Of
correspondence, only 81 letters are sent
per head, the next highest figures be-
ing II in Germany, 16 in France, Z in
Italy, and 5 in Spain.

An Eccentric Widow

From q certain piece OF property in
the French village of Colonies the
howls Of about forty dogs and the
%schreeches of more than that number
of cats are borne to the unwilling ears
of the neighboring residents. These
animals are described as by no means
the choicest of their respective kinds
and it IS alleged against them that, be-
sides their unmelodious cries, they gave
forth odors which make the quarter de-.
cidedly unpleasant. There are those,
indeed, who aver that the premises on
which the ANIMALS are kept constitute
practically sort of lazaretto, and that the
efluvia arising therefrom are a source OF
danger to their health. On this account
the occupant of the property has been
proceeded against in the courts, and, as
we learn from the Progress Medical, has
been condemned to pay a fine of five
francs. The person thus mulcted is an
old lady who makes it her business to
gather in all the stray dogs and cats
that she meets with on the streets.
This lady is M less than the widow
Of the great psychologist, the late NJ
Claude Bernard, and her eccentric be.
havior is accounted for in this wise:
M. Bernard, as is we'll know, practised
vivisection, but early in the course OF
his married life his wife became q vio-
lent opponent of the practice, and their
disagreement in the matter is understood
to have made their life anything but q
happy one, and finally to have brought
about their separation. M. Bernard
having ut length died, his %relict's old
tenderness has risen from its ashes, and,
as the story is told, she has gone to
work Systematically to e1piate his Of
fences against the lower animals by
showing kindness to as many stray dogs
and cats as opportunity may allow; he1
idea being that, when at length she has
succored as many distressed brutes as
he was the means of staying, his pur-
CATION will have been accomplished vi
cariously, and her soul and that of her
late husband will be ready to meet in
Paradise. How unfeeling it is Of the
people of Colonies to-. interfere with
the prosecution Of the scheme!-New

Fretina.:
From the Baptist Weekly.

" " 4Apuot WooAAy. II
This morning I got up as cross a. .
bear. I felt as rough and tingy as q
chestnut burr. I was all out of sorts,
and it seemed to me it would be a pleas
IRE to snap up anybody who spoke to
me as short as I could.
Most likely I would have done so and
set the whole household by the ears for
the rest Of the day, but that I have had
such moods before and learned bv ex-
perience the best way to manage them.
"Now, !" thought /, my best plan is not
to influence the whole family, but to
remain neutral and let them influence
me-" Accordingly I tried to control
myself Q little and await events.
well, the two elder children got up
merry and as happy as crickets, Papa
was in q pretty humor, and the baby
sat in her high chair and displayed all
her little airs and graces and her new
est funny little capers, and w must all
look and admire, SO by the time break
fast was over ! was laughing and smil-
ing as cheerfully as the rest, and passed
q pretty comfortable day after all.
And as / was thinking of this at even.
ing I thought how easy a. little fret
ting might nave upset the whole fam
ily and spoiled the day.
Now, fretting Is both useless and I'M
necessary it does no good and q great
deal of harm; yet it is almost q univer-
sal sin. More or less we are given to it.
We fret over almost anything. In sum-
mer because it is too hot, and in win
ter because it is too cold; we fret when
it rains because it Is wet, and when it
does not rain because it is dry ; when We
are sick or when any body else is sick.
In short if anything or everything does
not go just to suit our particular whims
and ~fancies, we have just one grand ref
uge-to fret over it.
I am afraid that fretting is much
more common among women than
among men. We may as well own the
truth, my fair sisters, it isn't altogether
pleasant. Perhaps it is because the
little worries, cares and yexations of our
daily life harass our sensitive nerves
more than the extended enterprises
which generality take the attention
Of lei Great wants develop great
resources, but the little wants and
worries are hardly provided for,
and like the nail which strikes the
saw, thcy make not much of a mark,
but they turn the edges terribly. I
think if we looked upon all the little
worries of n day as n great united
worry, ~self-control to meet it would be
developed. But as they generally come
only one or two little things at a
time-they seem so very little that we
give way, and the breech one made in
the wall, o grows larger.
l know that many a mother has
turned her son against her own sex,
and made him dread and dislike the so.
ciety of women, by her example con-
stantly set before him. I know that
many q mother has brought up and de-
veloped q daughter just like herself,
who, in her turn, would wreck and ruin
the comfort of another family cir Gle.
And knowing all this, / know Wa ought
to set our faces against this useless, sin
full, peace-destroying and home-disturb-
ing habit of fretting.

What Ed. Stokes IS Doing-The
Slayer of Jim Fisk.

Gath:-Ditferences of opinion will
always exist as to the extent of provoca-
lion he received from Fisk. Fisk had
become a very dangerous man in his
community, and was perfectly unscrup-
ulous about meeting an opponent, and
be had ~confederated with a number of
desperate outlaws and nan corrupt
lawyers and judges, who wonld take his
money and use justice itself to punish
his private enemies. He was the pre-
cursor of nearly all the swindlers we
have had for the past fifteen years in
New York. He would seize the prop
erty of any railroad he could by force,
and break open its safe and steal the
books and papers. He Systematically
~debauched the judiciary and took Judges
among bis women, of whom he kept a
swarm. One of these women, whose
jealousy wa aroused, turned against
Fisk, and in the effort to send Stokes
to jail he met that young man while
proceeding into a hotel to meet some
females, and in q few hours the most
notorious character Of this country had
passed away.
The feeling in New York against
Stokes was tremendous for a while,
and the newspapers of that day, many
OF which were subsidized in the inter
est OF Fisk, the employees in many cases
being on his pay lists, turned in and
sn~deavored to drive Stokes to the gal
lows. Stokes conducted himself during
the dlfferenttrials with both anxiety and
dignity. His relations with Flsk's WON
an operated against him in q certain
large class which, did not much regret
tlsk's loss. He paid the penalty, how
ever for these things, and his wife OBJ
tanned divorce from him. With the
exception OF his white hair be preserves
his full bodily strength and health his
SKIN is OF a rather quicksilvery tint, his
eyes are dark and playful, he probably
weighs about 100 pounds. generally
dressed IN a cool, summer style, and
aoes not say much Of his own reminis-
cences OF an exciting nature, and has
apparently made up. his mind that GER
tam things are predestined and cannot
be avoided 1t is a sign of the elastic
nature OF this country the way he has
been able to recover a certain amount
OF friendship and public support, and
finally united himself with one OF the
most successful men here and With a
distinguished capitalist.
1t is understood that Stokes. after
trying in q variety of ways to make mon
ey, met Mr.. Mackey in California. who
liked him for the danger be Ind passed,
for the hopeful vision he took 81 life,
and Tor his unaffected off.hand man
ners. It was soon rumored that Stokes
had acquired an interest in the Hoffman
house, but this seemed to be denied
Tor awhile. Then the gorgeous bar.
room there was opened, and It wa.
understood that this belonged K
Stokes. After a time it became ,eleal
that Stokes was a large part Of the Hof,
man house. Almost everybody VIII,
enters there desires to see hips. and
good many want to know him. Ia take
life Just as it comes, resents nothing
understands why some people nigh
have hostility to him and Il he gets

are that in the course Of time the offend

TranSplanting.

While transplan ting can be success
full with nearly every tree or plant, the
farmers are mostly interested in B few
plants of quite a leafy growth, such as
cabbage, turnips. beets and tomatoes.
With these there is often a saving of
labor in cultivation and wedding by
growing them in beds or hills and when
OF proper size Sc. them ut proper dis
tances in freshly plowed and cultivated
earth. where by their larger size they
are ahead of the inevitable weed
growth, thus making their care much
less than it would be if sOwn where
they were to grow. The season can al
so be prolonged as either hOt-beds or
cOld-frameS can be brought through the
last cold DAYS Of early spring by slight
protection. The success is surer il the
plants are grown with enough room to
give them considerable substance in the
root and stalk. 1t is often the rest
practice, for crops that are grown
wholly in the summer, to SOW the seed
where each plant is TO stand and have
the best pla:n in the hill.
Beets soon from transplant
INC if their roots are beginning TO take
on the bulbus form and are even half
IN inch in diameter. Ii is not always
best to wait for 4 cloudy or a rainy day
if She plants of any kind are big enough
to SET. If water is poured into each
hole made with the dibble the plant
soon RECEIVERS. but it is q little better to
put some fresh cow-manure in an old
pan and put In enough water TO thin it
to mud. but not enough TO cause water
to rise on top; then with q stick press
the roots into this and a ball of manure
Hdheres to the fibrous root tina: will
give the pant a good send-off, and will
keep the root damp better than clear
water. The earth should be pressed
very closely about the root of the plant.
Ii the soil las recently been plowed or
dug mellow there is little danger Of
making :. fine soil too compact abou,
the plant. The soil is seldom made to
rich. OF cultivated, OF hoed . much.
