Tense, for both parties are prominent
and wealthy. The evidence closed
and the speaking began Friday morn
ing, continuing all through the day.
When the court assembled after tea,
the seats and the aisles within the bar
were scrowded with ladies, while
without dense throng Of men filled
up the auditorium. 1t was before
this assembly that Mr.. Twiggs began
his argument. Twiggs is an elo-
quent speaker, practiced in and
noted for his oratorical graces. In
the course of his three hours ad
dress he at one time referred in the
most feeling manner to the courage
and devotion of woman. The hour,
the occasion, the audience and the
dim light from which the rapt faces
were bent upon him, all combined to
form a surrounding we'll calculated to
inspire the orator to his greatest
effort. He closed his address upon
'the women as follows: "At the bat
tile of Gettysburg Gen. Pickett was
ordered to begin the charge which
was to make him famous. AS he
went into the terrible battle his young
bride on horseback followed him.
When the hail of death was beating
down men on all sides, and the
plunging shot and shell mingled their
fierce screams with the means and
cries of the mangled, Pickett sudden
ly found himself in the presence of
his wife. In an agony of fear for her
safety he cried out to her, as she sat
cool and collected as veteran: $50

devoted woman, lin the hour of dam

court room there rang out one wild,
thrilling cry, which nearly lifted
the excited throng to their feet. 1t
was the old TIL J Ell, heard upon a
hundred battlefelds and never to be
forgotten. A deep silence followed.
All eyes were turned toward the outer
circle. Then Judge Royne's cold
voice was heard bidding the sheriff
arrest the offender. A man was seen
lodging through the crowd, and the
Judge continued: "The man who is
leaving is probably the one wanted"

The HorticulturaI sooiety.

The annual meeting Of the Peninsu-
lar Horticultural Society, held at Do
yer on Wednesday aud Thursday OF
this week, was largely attended by
farmers and fruit growers from all
parts Of the Peninsula.
After the meeting was called TO
ordera recess of ten minutes was taken
for he purpose OF giving all an
opportunity to become members. AT
roll call on Wednesday forty-one
members answered to their names.
]. G.. Brown, A. n Brown and J. A.
Fulton, were appointed a committee
on order Of business of the session.
Recess until two p m.
In the afternoon the Committee on
order Of business reported "a follows:
1st.-'A paper on pears aud their
cultivation" by DR.. Maxwell which
proved a very interesting and compre-
hensive document. The writer's argu-
ment tended towards establishing
the fact, that pear culture on this
Peninsula can be made profitable,
Notwithstanding the various draw
backs to cultivation. The Bartlett he
considered the best of all varieties for
cultivation. and recommended plant
ing the Keiffer; although he admitted
it unfit to eat. This paper ELECTED
considerable discussion, and in the
main It was endorsed, although there
were some objections.
In the matter of fertilization, all
agreed that strong stable manure was
very Objectionable as it stimulated the
growth and tends to produce blight.
2nd. Sources of Nitrogen" by
Prof. Wolfe. of Delaware College, was
the next paper submitted. This
brought out warm discussion on the \
of manure, it's quality, ETC., to
apply TO land to produce the best re-
suits. DR.. Wolfe thought ground |
oyster shells as a fertilizer were great
fraud.
3.-"Fruit exhibits" a paper sub
mitted by J. P. R. Polk, was next
He recommended that an
be held next September
under the auspieies of the society.
Under this suggestion a resolution
was adopted endorsing the idea.
4th.-"The Peach its history-cuI-
diseases-etc., i" by Mr.. Harris,
of Kent county, Maryland, was a
communication. Much of
the paper was devoted TO the
''yellOws," but the writer failed to
present cure for the same.

reach us in time for this issue. Ed

aBBAoHLAND OOTTAGE.'

Jrst by a bonny sheltered cove
Where bay and ocean meet,
Abode Of harmony and love
cool and fair retreat
Stands a cottage neat and fair
Where of in sultry summer time,
In hammock or in easy chair,
Fair maids aud gallant youths recline.
How happy are the golden hours
Where mirth beguiles the feeting time
While all the SIRENS witching powers,
So of portrayed in song or rhyme,
Are used but to enhance the joy,
The genial fellowship-and love,
Which ever youthful minds employ,
And cunning tricks and foibles prove.
A genial host and happy guest;
The gentle murmur OF the sea,
The gorgeous tints that gild the West,
Recall what memories to thee
What dreams Of those sweet days arise,
As meditation claims our thought
When ''Beachland" was our paradise
And toll and care wereall forgot.
The cottage now deserted stands,
The glorious summers all too short
But twill return. and o'er the sands
Again will echo mirth and sport

Mr.. John w. Causey was then called
upon to respond TO the toast "Our
Grand Lodge" which he did with
feeling and effect. columbia, the
Gem of the ocean, was then sung by
the company, and at its close Rev. J.
S. Willis was called upon to respond
to "The Church aud Masonary." He
said lie did not know whether there
was much relationship bet ween
church members aud masOus, for the
former were generally too lazy to do
much work, while the latter were
decidedly the liveliest people he had
ever met. Others made short speeches,
bat the lateness of the hour compelled
the pleasant gathering to terminate.
