no objection to any of the plans proposed,

inclined to that rather than marriage

TTe Dfdn,t Make a Sale.

A gentleman who was several years
younger than his wife, and who was, be-
sides, small and rather boyish in appear
ance, entered dry goods store in a Michi-
gan town with his wife and requested to
be shown some carpets. The proprietor
himself, to whom, as it happened they
were unknown, waited on them. He
showed them very politely his extensive
stock of carpets, and exhibited with great
pains their beauty and excellence of
quality. The gentleman and his wife
both seemed somewhat undecided as to
what suited them among the various pat
terms displayed, and the proprietor, with
the laudable desire of assisting them to
decide, remarked to the gentleman, point
ed to one of the carpets, 81 think, sir, this
is the carpet your mother likes"
The gentleman looked a little surprised
but quietly said, She is not my mother,
sir, but my wife"
The lady said nothing but it is needless
to add that she did not find any carpet to
suit her.

THE ABUSE OF SILENCE.
a. Practical Talk of Interest to Every
Man and Woman,

A man and wife enjoying walk to-
gether, or a tete-a-tete sweetened by con-
identia1 and affectionate conversation, isl
a sight beautiful before God and man:
saunters out with her, careless and unin-
terested; scarcely, during the walk, ut
tering a word. Is not this, to say the,
least, a great abuse of the science of
silence?
In the hour of absence and of solitude,
the husband is impressed with a sense of
the amiable disposition and demeanor OF
his wife, of her unwearied endeavors to,
promote and perpetuate his happiness,
and Of its being his bounded duty to show.
by the most unequivocal expressions Of
attachment and of tenderness, his full
appreciation Of her aSsiduity and faithful
ness But too often these expressions of
appreciation are not forthcoming, and,
with a mistaken silence he shrinlzs from
honoring his wife, and represses those few
words of praise which she so well deserves,
and would so greatly appreciate. my

Three or four commercial travellers were
seated in the smoking amusing them
selves as commercial travellers are wont

to the fair sex.
''By the way" said one of the drum

was back in the next coach. and 1 saw
there a magnificent girl-as pretty as a
picture. I was crazy TO get acquainted
with her, but she wouldn't have any

her."

back, and on their return were loud in

novel. He walked boldly to her side and
spoke to her. She looked up smiled,
moved to one side to make room for him,
and when he had seated placed her pretty

Meath of Cantain WaddeIl.

Captain James I. Waddell, commander
OF the Maryland fishery forces, died on
Monday night at his home in Annapolis,
of congestion of the brain. He was a
native of North Carolina, aged sixty-two
years. Captain Waddell graduated at the
Naval Academy m 1849, having pre-
viously served at Vera Cruz against the
Mexicans. He served in the United
States Navy until the rebellion broke out,
when he resigned and entered the Con-
federate navy, being placed in command
of the lannon's Shenandoah, with which
he waged war against vessels in the
Arctic Seas, destroying much valuable
commerce. He continued his depredations
for nine months after the war closed,
when he ran the gauntlet to Liverpool
and surrendered to the queen of England.
He did not dare to return to America for
some years, but was subsequently given
command of one of the Pacific mail
steamers, which was sunk on voyage
from Yokohama to San Francisco. Two
wears ago he was appointed commander
of the Maryland oyster navy for two
wears, which would have expired 10 May.
Capt. Waddell was seaman of remark
able qualities, bold, daring and original.
He was familiar with all the mechanical
details OF the profession. He was brought
up under the old regime, when seaman
ship was considered the most indispensa-
Bile prequisite of an officer. His fun
eral took place on Thursday and was at
tended by the members of the Legisla-
ture aud many of the leading citizens of
Annapolis.-Kent News.

Mrs. VIM. F. Bailey, residing about
one mile and a-half from Ruthsburg
Queen Anne's county, committed suicide
by hanging last Saturday morning.
She had been suffering from COM
plication of diseases for long time,
and her mind had become impair
ed. She had been treated by a num-
Der of physicians, but without avail,
and she determined to destroy herself.
The family were aware OF her determine
ton and kept constant guard over her.
Saturday morning, during the temporary
absence OF the attendant, she rose from
her bed and went down stairs. Securing
some pieces of muslin she sewed them
together and thus made a sort of rope.
She then locked herself in a room, made
moose of one end of the rope and, after
placing it around her neck, got on bed,
fastened the other end to a large nail
which was driven into the top of the win
dow-frame and sprang from the bed.
Her absence was soon discovered, and
search was instituted. When found she
was hanging from the window-frame,
dead. Mrs. Bailey, whose maiden name
was Thomas, was member of one of the
most highly espected families in the
county. She leaves a husband and sew
eral children, besides mother, sisters

Serious shootine Accident.

John g. Green, a lad of about 16 years
of age, and son of Mr.. VIM. Green Of
this place was shot in the left forearm on
Friday afternoon last. He had been gun
ming and had one barrel of his gun loaded
with small bird shot. The gun was lying
on the floor of the peach house and he
drew it toward him in such a man
ner that the load was discharged, en-
tering his arm at the wrist and making
wound about four inches long, ex-
tending up the under side of the arm.
The small bone of the arm was broken
and the tendons torn, while the flesh was
burned by the close discharge of the pow
der. Immediately after the accident he
called colored man working in the field
near by telling him what had happened
and walked on home without assistance,
the man bringing his gun after him.
Drs. Chamberlain Of Middletown and
Hamilton of Odessa, were called, who in
consultation decided that amputation
would be necessary, and on Saturday DIR.
Draper, of Wilmington performed the
operation. The young man displayed
great tortitude throughout the ordeal to
which he must needs be subjected, which
won for him much praise. About three
inches of the foreman remain. The
patient is doing very nicely under the cir
cumstances, but will probably be obliged
to remain in bed about two weeks.

About Flower Culture in Bay

If persons having bay windows only
knew how much better plants grow in
them, when they can be shut off from
the living-room by glazed doors, am
sure they would soon have it arranged 80
that the plants can be kept by themselves,
when it is desirable to do so by that
mean, of course, in an atmosphere of their
own. If the bay window opens off the
sitting room or parlor, with nothing but
thin curtain between them as is genally
the case, the air in both must be pretty
much the same, and it is safe to say that
the air in the room will be too warm and
dry for plants to grow in healthily. By
putting doors between the room and the
window this can be remedied. The plants
can be sprinkled daily, after which the
doors can be closed entirely, or nearly so,
as the condition of the weather may make
advisable, and the air among your flowers
will remain moist for the greater part of
the day. fit were not for these doors
the dry, overheated air of the adjoining
room would soon make way with the
moisture which a thorough sprinkling
would produce. In such window you
can keep your plants free from the dust
which always comes from sweeping.
They are not only very much healthier,
but they look brighter and cleaner. The

Felled With an Axe.

THE DAYS OF PATTY CANNON RECALLED
A WOMAN DELIBERATELY ATTEMPTS
TO KILL HER HUSBAND.
The Seaford correspondent of the
Morning Net0s in letter dated Wednes-
day says: Last Saturday as John Jeffer-
son, who lives at Crotcher's Ferry, Dor
ter county, Nd, was getting ready to 60
to Galestown to do some marketing with
his wife, the latter stealthily approached
him and dealt him heavy blow on the
top of the head with meat axe. Jeffer-
son was sitting on the doorstep, facing
toward the yard, changing his shoes. The
blow knocked him sprawling into the
yard, and he was badly stunned. The
woman followed and dealt him another
blow with the axe on the back OF the neck.
Believing she had killed him, she drag
ged him thirty yards to the barn and
placed him on some bundles of, fodder
and returned to the house.
In an hour or SO Jefferson recovered
consciousness and made his way as best
he could to neighbours by the name of
Bryan, about mile away. He was soon
followed by his would-be murderer, who,
Bryan says, undertook to play the role of
a maniac Knowing the women well,
Bryan addressed few sharp words to
her which reused her anger. She then
cody and gloatingly owned what she had
done and returned hastily to her home.
A physician was sent for. He examined
Jefferson's head but found nothing more
serious than two ugly bruises on the
skull and severe confusion just back of
the neck, all of which were very painful
but not dangerous.
Fora Fl. Brinsfield, a merchant at
Crotcher's Ferry, who has kno own the
couple for two years, says that the
woman is inherently mean, that she is a
sort of Patty Cannon, and that her hus-
band, through fear of her, has always
tamely submitted to her devilish ways.
For instance, she would never allow him
made him pull them off at the door, no
matter what the state of the weather.
Jefferson, rather than excite the woman's
ire, would invariably do as he was hidden.
From other facts which Brinsfield relates
about her, the woman is no doubt verit-
able fiend.
1t is supposed that she intended to kill
her husband to get his property fully
into her own possession. Jefferson re-
fuses to prosecute if his wife's relatives
will take her and keep her, and not allow
her to trouble him more. They have one
child, a girl about II years Of age.
