The terrapin farms of Secretary Bayard

of Colonel Quay aud Senator Gardiner at
Atlantic City, are among the best known
in the country, but it must be conceded
that Deacon Orson Spratt's, near Hoxa-
wottamie, is by far the most interesting
Deacon Spratt's terrapin belong to the
singing futile family, and he has erected
commodious seats around two sides of
the main pond for the benefit of his
friends. The intelligent brutes climb
halfway out Of the water almost any fine
night in the spring and sing as if their
little hearts would break. The $40 a

indeed a treat. We had been on the banl
but few minutes when large purple
necked diamond back stuck his head GU
and sang "a Life on the Ocean Wave,
with great effect. Before he had Finished
terrapin could be seen all over the pont
rising to the surface, each one taking tn,
diamond from his back as he emerged
and holding it aloft in his beak to assis
the illumination. The effect was dazzling
Some of the cheap terrapin evidentI,
sported paste diamonds. At the con
clusion of the solo Mr.. Spratt rowed owe
the pond in his gondola and gave tn,
singers glass of sherry, of which the,
all seemed quite fond. Private to tn,

dresses and overgarments, let
usillustrate the generous hand
ling we mean to practice all
round by the little item of
braids.
You ask to see braids in the
nearest store wherever you
happen to be; the girl behind
the counter opens a drawer or
box. The stock of braids is a
bushel or two. ...
We couldn't better show in
the paper what we have in
the store than by such COM
parison.
Our fringe counter is eighty
feet long; our buttons occupy
one-hundred-and-tw twenty-five
feet; braids forty feet-forty
feet of length of counter; and
behind the counter braids fill
many rows of shelves.
Shall we mention the sorts?
Begin with the commonest.
Alpaca, "a to 34-inch, black,
white and colors.
Worsted commonly spoken
of as mohair; but real mohair
is a very different stuff of
many grades, the finer APP
preaching mohair; A-inch to
| 3-inch; black, white, plain and
mixed colors.
Mohair, which pure is richer
in braid than silk; 1a-inch to
| 3A-inch; black, white and
colors.
Silk of plain texture only,
" to 5-inch, black, white and
colors.
| This simple classification
states the whole stock in brief
but, unless the imagination
helps the eye, it scarcely shows
how forty feet of counter and
the shelves behind it are occu,
pied with braids and buyers.
All we care to show, how.
ever, is the fact that when you
think of a braid, whatever the
material, color, width or pat
tern, here it is likely to be.
We may perhaps, with adj
vantage, add a list of the pat
terms. The simplest is plair
binding; next comes Hercules
diamond, basket, honeycomb
soutache, tubular and many
fancy braids.
Our foreign braids have
come. These hints are ou
of them. White abounds ir
all materials and textures
Honeycomb in plain ano
mixed colors is a favorite
lOmbre OZARK in the centre

bids fair. Alsace trimming.

vides that whenever differences or contrn-
versies arise between railroad companies
engaged in the transportation of properly
or passengers between two or more states
Of the United States, between territory
and state within the territories of the United
States, or within the District of Columbia,
and the employees of said railroad com
panies, which differences or controversies
may hinder, impede, Obstruct, interrupt, or
affect such transportation of property
or passengers If upon the written
proposition of either party to the COIL
| troversy to submit their differences to arli-
| tration the other party shall accept the
| proposition then and in such event the raj
road company is hereby authorized to sele.t
/ and appoint one person, and such employr
i or employees as the case may be to select
and appoint another person, and the two
| persons thus selected and appointed TO
| select third person, all three of whom
shall be citizens of the United States and
wholly impartial and DISTINGUISHED in le-
| spect to such differences or controversies (;
| and the three persons thus selected and an
pointed shall be and they are hereby created

The bill further gives the board the
powers Of Il United States commissioner in
administering oaths and compelling the 1T
| tendance OF witnesses, nut declares that
"in no case shall any witness be compelled
to disclose the secrets or produce this
records or proceedings of any labor organi-
cation If which he may be an officer ur
member" 1t is made the duty of the board
OF arbitration, Immediately upon their selrc-
tiOn, TO organize at the nearest practicable
point to the place of the origin OF
the difficulty or controversy, and to heal
and determine the matters of differel &c
which may be submitted to them in writing
by all the parties, giving them full oppor
tunity to bis heard on oath in per- on and
by witnesses, and also granting them tn,
right to he represented by counsel am
after concluding its investigation said boar,
shall publicly announce its award, which
with the findings of facts upon which 1t h
based, shall be reduced to writing an,

When the thermometer went down
below zero in the first week Of February
its fall was Witnessed with alarm by the
peach-growers of this county and with
CONSERVATION by those farther down the
Peninsula, for, strangely enough, the
cold was more intense and lasted longer
in the lower counties. From localities in
Sussex temperatures of 15o TO 16o below
zero were reported, and the average
minimum throughout Sussex and Kent
was probably as much as 50 to 10o below.
In this county records of 60 to 80 below
were exceptional Consequently New
Castles peach men were not very badly
scared and most of them now feel hope
full Of fair crops. The Middletown Tran
script says:
There Is Of course good deal OF specu-
lation as to the size of the crop, but that al
present cannot be estimated with any de-
| gree Of certainty. One thing Is sure, how
| ever, and that is that in very many orchards
| IL all the buds now shown on the trees were
to remain and mature, the trees would be
| very much overloaded. This, we believe
seldom happens, but allowing for the drop.
| pings, which usually occur after the fruit
has partially developed, there is yet every
reason TO believe that the fruit will be
| plentiful in very many orchards here
abouts. 1t is interesting to note the different
effects the frost has had on different
orchards Immediately adjoining each other
In the vicinity Of Odessa three gentlemen
have orchards adjoining each other, and
the one between the other two will not have
a peach while those on either side Of 1t hav,
every promise Of large crop. Those who
are fortunate enough to have good pros
pect for large crop at the present writing
are very sanguine OF high prices ruling al
the season and consequently greater profit
from peach culture than In years past.

Henry Clews q Co.'S weekly financial
circular of Saturday afternoons date,
says
The strike on the Missouri Pacific system
has passed into new phase. The knights
have been defeated In negotiation, and
stand discredited before public opinion
upon having interrupted the business OF a
large section for insufficient cause; while
their leaders are divided In counsel and the
railroad company is rapidly replacing the
strikers with men independent OF the
knights organization. Last week, the
danger was to the railroads; now, 1t is to
the Knights Of Labor. Although there is
still the possibility of chargin among the
strikers breaking out into public disorder,
yet the preparations made for meeting sucl,
contingency are likely to prove sum
eient preventive of that danger. In any
case, the present phase of the southwestern
struggle is calculated to afford assurance OF
the future ability of the railroads to protect
themselves against extreme action by theit
employees; and this assurance is a vast gail
in behalf of the stability of the value OF
corporate properties.

Phelps, of the Smyrna Record, is de-
cidedly on top. He pitched into the
Middletown and Milford postmasters with
a fierceness that many good people
thought misplaced, especially after the
Middletown Transcript came to the de-
fence of Mr.. Dunning and the Milford
ChyOnicle printed, without comment, an
attempt to explain away the Records
charges against Mr.. Stewart. But the
sequel has shown that Phelps knew ex-
actly what he was talking about, and he
has earned the thanks of the people Of
both towns for his successful effort to re-
lieve them of officials who have virtually
crnfessed that they were undeserving of
trust. Postmaster Dunning has already
been superseded by an honest man and a
special brings the news that Postmaster
Stewart has retired to make room for
another honest man. Good for Phelps.
