Pamnering CONDEMNED Men.

Where the custom of pampering the
unfortunate wrctchcs for few days be-
fore their execution originated has often
been discussed. The history of The re-
ligious customs of the Aztec Indians be-
fore the conquest of Mexico shows that
when a victim was TO be led TO the sacri-
fetal stone TO be deprived of his life as Il
sacrifice to the gods, he was for some
time before his death treated in ROYAL
style. When they selected the subject
for the sacrifice they bcdeckcd him in
the richest manner, and showed hin,
every attention up to the last minute be-
fore the bloody sacrifice. An old en-
Sheriff once gave it as his opinion that
the custom of the Aztccs might have
something TO do with the practice of
feasting condemned murdcrc,s Tho
general understanding is that it owes its
origin to the demand of humanity to
make the last hours of person in this
world as comfortable aud cheerful as

Oyster Packers Abandon
Seaford.

W. II. Stevens, formerly of Seaford.
DEL opened an Oyster-packing house
In Salisbury Nd, last week. The three
oyster packing houses of Seaford. of
which Mr.. Stevens establishment was
the largest, have closed their doors
and an will not reopen there this winter.
The trouble arose from striking among
the shuckers. They first struck for Is
cents a gallon, and their demands
were complied with. Tbev then
struck again for 20 cents a gallon, and
the packers again met the strikers de-
mand, but after the supply of oysters
on hand had been exhausted the pack
ers met and signed an agreement not
TO shuck another oyster in Seaford
this season, and placed themselves
under $500 bond to keep the agree
ment: Mr.. Stevens moved to Salisbury
ana the other packers went to Crisfeld
anu Cambridge. The removal from
oeatord will cause a loss of about S8. 600
to the town.

English Girls and American.
WHY THE LATTER ARE CUTTING OUT

suggested many causes for this.
should say that the main rea-
son is that the American girl is not SO
missy as her English sister, and that
she IS brought up to run down her own
! game.
In England the notion still prevails
that girl is sure to get into mischief
II she has not mother or something
OF that sort at her elbows. She herself
resents this and takes it out in fast CON
Versatlon and slangy ways. so that she
becomes singular mixture of a doll

very smallest of small talk. Her moth.

gestlons of marriage, which frighten
off all suitors. . "''H
The girl dresses badly, generally

give her natural advantages a fair

Always an air OF effort in her get-up,

Now, the American girl has natural

ing always quite at her ease. puts all
those with whom she is thrown at their

tomooy Is over. English girls must
realize this if they want to get married
Ihere IS still on further reason whv
the American girl is preferred. In Amer
lca man who has sons and daughters
makes no financial difference between
the two. In England, when a man is
not SO silly as to pile everything on his
eidest son, he gives his sons more than
ms daughters. The result is that
there are more American girls with
money than English girls. and. Outside

A Valuable Remedy.

BRANDRETH's PILLS purify the

This, together with thousands of con-

II mas been asserted-no doubt with
some truth-that the negroes who
nave been attracted to Panama are the
very scum of the civilized world. and
that cessation of work on the canal
might lead to a very serious outbreak.
lt Is, therefore, a wise precaution on
the part of our Government to order
the two American men-of-war which
are now at Panama to remain there
until further orders. The riots which
TOOK place at Aspinwall in 1885, and
the partial burning of that city, clearly
disclosed the desperate character Of
the people.
