The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1886-02-27

Mr.. John Storck of New York has the
best sanitary reasons for desiring a d.
yorce from his wife. She was not only
in the habit of making hot cakes" for
breakfast but actually insisted on throw
ing them il his face. No man can pre-.
serve the integrity of his stomach and
eat hot cakes as fast as an angry woman
can throw them at him.

for the sake of his enemy.
But while Winthrop was still pulling
round, the old Loyalist resumed rowing
with more rapid stroke that soon
brought him alongside.
In those moments of waiting all
Bedell's life days-his personal hatreds,
his loves, his sorrows-had been re-
viewed before his soul. He had seen
again his sons, the slain in battle, in
the pride of their young might, and the
gentle eyes of Ruth had pleaded with
him beneath his dead wifes brow.
How poor seemed hate-how mean and
poor seemed all but love and loyalty !.
Yes, for he had looked through the veil
into the eternal, too, and stood, Il tri-
wal creature, before the Almighty,
knowing His meaning. Wherefore
resolution and deep peace had come
upon inc man.
They wondered at his look. No
wrath was there. The old eyes were
calm and loving, agentle smile flickered
about his lips. Only that he was very
pale. Ruth would have been wholly
glad for the happy change.
"Forgive me, father, she cried as he
laid hand on their boat.
Il do, my child" he answered.
Come now without an instant's delay
to me-"
ooh, father, if you would let Us be
happy cried Ruth, heart torn by two
loves.

Inventive Faculty Of Women.

Philip Gilbert Hamerton, in one OF
his charming essays, dwells On the lack
of the inventive faculty OF women.
This, says the Providence journal, is
curiously verified by the rolls Of the
patent Office. Scarcely l per cent. of
all che hundreds of thousands Of pat
ents issued annually in the United
States are granted to women. There
is not single model OF an important
invention by O. woman on exhibition
at the patent Office. Such as are there
are very small and simply devices Of
no particular Importance. OF the ar
ticles used by women, such rs corsets,
glovefasteners, sewing machines,
washing-machines, pins, needles,
churns, shoe-buttoners, fans, fruit jars,
button-fastene1s, pianos, and other
musical instruments, music holders,
patterns and the thousand and one
other articles made for the fair sex,
90 per cent. are the inventions OF men.
I asked one of the patent Office vet
Grams the other day to show me some
Of the inventions of women, and he was
unable to point them out; but q patent
lawyer whom Iconsulte called my at
tention to few. There was one cof-,
fee-pot, a fire-escape, an artificial fruit
compound, q method Of cutting paper
patterns, and that was all that could
be found among recent inventions ac-
credited to the fair sex. s.

A Dude DiScOmfted.

Miss Anna Warren Story, the accom-
plished elocutionist, is a handsome
woman-the perfect reproduction OF
the ideal classical female. During Lent
shegave recitations in private parlors.
A young dude became infatuated with
her several months ago and WAS de-
voted in his attentions. He conceived
the brilliant idea Of reciting with the
lady of his heart. The result of it all
was that a catastrophe happened
which Miss Story related to Mail
and Express reporter.
"He was the ambitious son of q
very indulgent Murray Hill million
aire," she said. II could not prevent
his attending the receptions where I
recited. He brought flowers, and
really knew whether l recited we'll or
not. But that little knowledge he
had OF elocution made his egotism
O]ympian: and to hear him talk
stranger would imagine that he could
coach Booth, Salvini, and Mary An
derson. It was pleasant to listen to
his discourses, INTERCEPTED with many
English don't you knows, because he
usually wound them up by declaring
that I only needed a few pointers
from him to become great. One day
in an evil moment he confessed to me
that he was studying elocutlon, had
regular Delsarte professor, and when
the latter was not teaching him he
was gratuitously dividing bis knowl-
edge with his preceptor. I suggested
that herecite something, which he did
with success. He then proposed that
at my next parlor entertainment we
should recite a scene from q society
play, he taking the part OF the lover,
consented. Now, he was somewhat
stout and wore trousers that appear
ed to be nodded upon him. Thefatal
evening came The parlors were
crowded with guests. After several
Rotations our turn arrived. When
we walked out couldn' thelp but mo-
tice how close his trousers, seemed to

A Story About Evarts.
From the Cleveland Leader.


heard funny story about Sena.
tor Evarts. 1t related to an occur.
renee which happened when he was
secretary of state under Hayes, and
it was told ME by one Of Mr.. Evarts
intimate friends. Evarts, you know,
is one OF the best livers in the country.
He likes terrapln and he can tell you
to the year the age of old wine or fine
brandy. He spends thousands of
dollars upon the stomachs OF himself
and his friends, and nevertheless he
seems to have no more flesh than a
scarecrow, and his skin hangs in wrlnk-
les over the bones of his snatomy
The scene was in the Cooper Institute,
New York. The time was that of a
great public meeting at which William
NJ. Evarts-he was then secretary
was to. be among the speakers. A
long, lank Vermonter was. present
early at the meeting, and he was very
anxious to see Mr.. Evarts, whom he
spoke of as E-varts, pronouncing the
E long and drawing it out with a Yam
kee twang as he did so. He kept ask
ing if E-varts had arrived, and every
time a new man came upon the plat
form he wanted to know if chat was
E-varts. At last the great secretary
OF state shambled up to the rostrum,
and the man was notified that there
at last was Mr.. Evarts. He looked at
him for 9 full moment and then turn
ed around with surprise written all
over his countenance: .s5.ss.
And that is E-varts?''
He was told that it was. s Is
Not William III. Ervarts?" .$s
The same - ss.z
' Well, Iswan," concluded the man
with . look of mingled establishment
and disgust. He looks as though he
boarded. 2 $50

How the Founder of the Society
of Friends Set Dislocated
Nook

of Friends Set Dislocated
Neck.
From the Medical Record.
In an interesting and scholarly ad-
dress by DR.. J. J. Levick on the early
Physicians of Philadelphia" he tells us
how George Fox travelled through New
Jersey and New England, keeping a
faithful journal OF all that occurred.
In 1872 he was passing through New
Jersey, then but sparsely settled. He
had spent the day with Richard
Hartshorne at Middletown Harbor,
(the ancestor, it mistake not, of one
of our present Board of Managers, and
of three ply sicians Of that name who
have so we'll served this hospital and
next morning went on to Shrewsbury.
while at Shrewsbury. writes Fox, 'an
accident befell which for the time was
q great exercise to US. One John Jay,
a Friend, OF Barbados, who came
with us from Road Island, being to
trie horse got upon his back, and
the horse fell a running and cast him
down upon his head, and brake his
neck as the people said. They that
were near him took him up dead, and
carried him good way and laid him
on a tree. l got to him as soon as I
could, and feeling on him, concluded
he was dead. AS Istood by him pitying
him and his family, took hold Of his
hair, and his head turned anyway it
was so timber. Whereupon Throwing
away my stick and my gloves, took
his head in both my hands, and set
ting my knees against the tree Iraised
his head and perceived there was moth
ing out or broken that way. Then I
put one hand under his chin and the
other behind his head two or three
times with all my strength and
brought it in. soon perceived his
neck began to grow. stiff again, and
then he began to rattle in his throat,
and quickly after to breathe. The
people were amazed, but bid them
have a good heart and be of good
faith; to carry him in the house, give
him something warm to drink, aud
put him to bed. After he had been in
the house while he began to speak,
but did not know where he had been.
The next day he was pretty well, and
many hundreds Of miles did he travel
with us after this. >"

A KNOT OF BLUE.

Samuel Minturn Peck in the Century
She hath no gems OF lustre bright,
TO sprinkle in her hair;
No nasd hath she OF borrowed ligh'
To make her beauty fair.
Upon her shining locks afioat
Are daisies wet with dew,
And peeping from her lissome throat
A little knot OF blue.
A dainty knot OF blue,
A ribbon blithe OF hue
It fills my dreams with sunny CLEANS.
That little knot Of blue.
I met her down the Swallowed lane
Beneath the apple tree:
The balmy blossoms fell like rain
Upon my love and me;
And what said or what I did
That morn I never knew.
But to my breast there came and hid
A little knot OF blue.
A little knot of blue,
A love knot strong and true
Twill hold my heart till life shall part,
That little knot OF blue.
