SALISBURY and Bayard have carried
little Delaware around in their vest pock.
cts goodly number of years, but this
year the split between these distinguished
gentlemen, it seems, has cost democracy
the state. 1t is a little hard on the
stability of parties in the adherence to
principle when such purely personal mat
tiers can WELD such influence, effect such
changes.

This has been a remarkably good
humored campaign after all, probably
because of the many humorous events
evoked. But few men have lost their
temper upon the stump, and there have
been no free fights or collisions between
the great parties. But the public draws a
long breath, now that it is over.-Balti-

WEST VIRGINIA Is not yet decided, nor
will the result probably be known before
the last of the week The official count
is in progress and all that can be said is
that whichever side wins the majority
will be very small, possibly not more than
one or two hundred. 1t is significant that
the republicans have raised their claims
for Golf and the democrats reduced on
Fleming.

She Prefers to Wait.

You love me, said the gentle maid,
the words are sweet, but I'm afraid
That you're deceiving.
Your conquest can neer deny.
And yet your words I'd fam pass

Without believing.

When once it finds the sought for heart
viii break and splinter;
So keep your tender words, pray,
Wen wait and see if you will
say
The same next winter"

YEAR TO YEAR

Z" One Of RAPHAEL Tuck & Sons Calendars
for the year 1850 is really a gem. 1t is in
book form, and designed by ]. Pauline Sumter,
with c~ouplets by Helen NJ. Burnside. January
shows two little girls who come timidly along
drawing behind them a little wagon full of dolls;
they hold one another by the hand and look
as pretty as they are innocent, their hair fut-
tcring in the breeze and falling in masses over
their foreheads. their chubby little faces aglow
with good nature and even dolls laughing.
Their appeal-Could we stay this year with
you?-could not be refused by anyone. They
evidently stay the year, for in the pages that
follow they are shown in various occupations,
feeding the birds, plucking wild flowers, roll
licking in the grassy sand. On the page be-
tween Jur I'd July their is a picture of a
milestone almost hidden by the flowers, but on
which the inscription "IIalf Way can be seen
Throughout the Calendar they are dressed in
costumes appropriate to the difierant months
of the year. In April they take refuge from
the showers meath umbrellas; in May they fall
asleep among the daisies in the field as they
murmur;
Noddlng, nodding, to and fro,

I'm December they depart. mufled up to
protect themselves from the cold, their satchels
on their arms; and as the hands of the clock
point to midnight they say;

out, indicating the close Of the yeur."

Let fight of swallows harnessed by cupids
wing their way over the snowy surface.
The birds that bring good fortunes are out
lined with twisted golden cords. and the
grotesque doves turning sonersaults o.
their backs are executed in a delicate trac-
cry of dead golden threads, and guide their
aerial steeds ty silkea threads of brown and
gold These are dinner cloths For lunches
and teas there are imported linens in half q
dozen shades of blue, dull red, buff, cream,
sea green, straw, and every tint which
modern art furnishers delight in. All these,
darnet, embroidered, braided, gotten up
with dainty fantasy, make up the linen
closets store. The napkin has its mono
gram, or better, spray of flowers from the
table cloth design embroidered on it, and
the finger bowl doyly is sheer, cobweb-like,
in the shape of an oak or an ivy leaf, sur
rounded by a delicate tracery of drawn
threads aud embroidered veins.
And the dinner table has got rid of the
water shed in its middle. The huge dishes
of fruit and flowers piled to he skies have
gone by the board. So have high chande-
liers Of candles or lights of any description.
50 have all flower vases almost without ex-
ception. For people who can afford them,
the proper flower receptacles just now are
low ,faring bowls of silver, delicately etched
and almost too beautiful to be hidden by the
posies. These bowls are big and little,
simple and elaborate. Sometimes the
have twisted twigs for handles or writhing
serpents, aud sometimes they have no
handles at ALL They are wreathed some
times with irregular cloud bands of gold,
giving peculiar enamel effect obtained by
mixing the metals cold. They are orna-
mented sometimes W tn rough pearls. One
buys them in variety of sizes and put them
down on the table cloth wherever there
may be room for the fragrance of violets
or the bloom OF roses Yellow flowers are
the favorites, partly because white and
gold worship is popular and partly because
yellow on silver lights up prettily in the
evening
