A BAvARIAN coTILLON.

The Figures Of the Dance Represented
the Ascent Of . Mountain.
A writer in the National Review gives
the following account Of q Bavarian
cotillon:
It was intended to represent the as
cent OF the great mountain Of the neigh
borhood, the zagspitz, which is. in fact,
tho highest mountain in Germany, be-
ing $500 feet high.
In the, first figure the guides were
chosen, the names Of the different we'll
known guides being written on cards
and drawn by so many ladies and gen.
tlemen, who dapoed accordingly.
After the question of guides had been
settled, in the next figure they were
supposed to have reached the Knorr
Hutte. the little hut in which q night
has TO be passed in order to 60 over the
snow near the summit before the sun
has had time to soften the surface. Here
Schuhplattl is supposed to be danced
This Schuhplattl is the somewhat
singular dance OF the country, and is
supposed to have It's origin in the antics
Of the black cock when wooing his
mate. The woman for the most part
waltses quietly and gracefully around,
followed by the men cutting all sorts OF
capezs to attract her attention and In
gratiate himself In her favor, keeping
time with resounding claps OF his hands
on his short leathern breeches and with
his feet.
With the third figure tho summit Of
the mountain Is supposed to be reached,
and luncheon has to be partalxen OF. A
baslcet containing what Is usually taken
on such occasions, was handed round,
and the contents given to an equal num-
ber OF ladies and gentlemen, who
danced accordingly. Ham danced with
bread. pepper with salt, sausage with
wine, each carrying the articles sup
posed to be represented in the hand, ono
young lady having to carry round in the
waltz large bottle Of wine.
In the next figure they were supposed
to have reached a certain glacier, where
there Is often q great deal Of snow. For
this snow-shoes were produced. and all
who know what they are will appreciate
the difficulty of trying to waltz with the
large, hst surface strapped to the sole
Of the foot.
Finally they were supposed to reach .
village where shootina fete is taking
place, and the last figure consisted In
the ladies all trying their skill In shoot
ing with ride ct . target. hags being
given for prizes.

cABINET TRAGEDIES.

Those Under President Harrison Matched
~ Those Under President Tyler.
The tragedies in the official family Of
President Harrison, great though they
arc, are matched by those in the Cab
met Of President Tyler, fifty years ago,
says the New York Sun. That admins
tration began with tragedy, for the
death of the aged General Harrison,
though occurring from natural causes,
can not be counted, in view Of all the
circumstances, as aught but tragic. In
December Of the next year, 1s42, 90
ourred the tragedy Of the United States
ship Somers-the mutiny, the trial by
court-martial, and the execution OF
three sailors, one Of whom was the son
OF the actual Secretary Of War. In
June, 1s48, the President, with some Of
his Cabinet, journeyed to Boston to At
tend the ceremonies Of the dedication Of
Bunker Hill monument; and there,
Hugh Legare, Secretary Of State, was
stricken with q mortal disease and died.
But the tragedies Of the administration
had not reached their climax. On Feb
ruaxy %, 1874, ct the invitation Of Com
modore Stockton, tho President with
his hancee, Miss Gardner, her father,
and with the members Of the Cabinet
and nearly one hundred other persons
Of high official rank, embarked on Cap-
tain Ericsson's new steamer Princeton,
belonging to the navy, to inspect the
new machinery and to watch the firing
OF the two great guns which the vessel
mounted. On the trip two Of the guns
were fred twice. On the homeward
trip, above Mount Vernon, preparations
were made to fire a third shot. Around
the gun stood nearly all the principal
men who carried on the Government Of
the United States. The gun was fred,
and burst. killing eight persons and
wounding nearly score. The Presi-
dent had been called aside the instant
the gun was fred, but Secretary of
State Upshur and Thomas Gilmer, Sec
retaxy Of the Navy, were killed, as well
as Mr.. Gardner, Commodore Kennon,
Virgil Maxey, two sailors, and the
President's servant. Mr.. Gilmer had
been Secretary Of the Navy for only ten
days, and had taken the post much
against his own inclinations. Thomas
II. Benton was one Of the party whose
gayety was 80 terrible stilled; but
though the Presidents servant, who
stood ut his left, was killed, he himself
ives unhurt. except the breaking Of his
laft ear-drum 900

peath Of b. b. Duyckinck.

On Wednesday evening April 9th
departed this life Horace III Duyckinck,
at tie green old age of 70 typical
American farmer. Mr.. Duyckinck was
a representative of his class, public
spirited and influential. His life and
work haveleft an impress for good on the
generation in which he lived. Every
movement which promised to advance
the interest and class to which he was
allied, he gave an early and earnest
support. He was among the leaders
in promoting agricultural societies and
other farmers organization, and was
an active and influential member of
the Oxford and Cecil county AgricuIta-
raj Societies. For anumber of years he
was one of the most active members of
the Cecil Farmers Club the Oldest asso
citation offarmers in the county. When
the Farmers Alliance became an agrees
sive reform movement in the cause of
agriculture, Mr.. Duyckinck was among
the first to cast in his lot with the order
and was elected president of Rising
Sun Farmers Alliance No. 1O1, the first
alliance organized in Cecil and was its
president at the time of his death.
The decersed was native of New
jersey and came to Cecil county to re-
side in 1851 settling on the farm near
Brick Meeting House where he remain
ed till bis death. His influence will
live long after he has passed to that
undiscovered country from beyond
whose bourn no traveller returns. Such
men are the salt of the earth, and the
example oftheir upright unselfish lives
is the greatest need of the times.
Mr.. Duyckinck was an elder of Zion
Presbyterian church, and his broad
spirit of christian humanity had always
been one of the strongest supports of the
church. His life and work made an
impression on his neighborhood for
good and his death leayes blank not
easily filled. A whole community are
his mourners, but those nearest and
dearest left behind are the wife of his
young manhood who travelled life's
journey by his side for half century
and four children, and several grand
children. A few weeks ago. Feb. Oath
the venerable couple called their child
rem, grand children and friends round
them to celebrate their golden wedding.
He felt that his end was near as he
stood in their midst and like the
patriarchs of old gave them his bless.
ing while bidding them farewell.

The Anarchists.

Just now there is great deal said
through the city papers about the
deluge of pauper and criminal i'm
migrants poured on our shores. How
come these SO called paupers and
criminals. the refuse of the brutaliz-
ing systems of monarchical govern
ments of the old world, to be here
and filling the place supposed to be
open to Americans in the large fac.
tories, mines and other great public
works where large bodies of men are
employed? Every newspaper in the
land during election campaigns is
filed from title to foot slug with the
fierce demand for protection of
American labor. and the halls of
both houses of every congress re-
sound with demands for protection
for home industry and wages against
the pauper labor of Europe. But
when the speech laws are secured
which the syndicate, corporation,
and monopoly and their subsidized
press clamor for, Huns. Polls, Italians
of the brutalized classes of those
countries are brought here and
employed by those large firms, who
shake the continent with their
demands FOR protection to AmericaA
wages. to the exclusion of this same
American labor, and those ignorant
laburers are put on starvation wages,
followed by strikes and riots. Who
are the real anarchists of this
country? The monopoly class who
have control of every avenue oil
government and are using their
advantage to rob every class of pro-
ductive labor. This class alone is
responsible for foreign, pauper, crimi.
nal immigration and the labor strikes
and riots, the wide spread discomfort
among the earning and producing
classes, who feel that they are being
robbed, without knowing exactly how
1t is done. The Jay Goulds, the
Carnegies, Vanderbilts and Depews
are the real anarchists and popular
storm breeders Of this country.

Afflicted with Hydrophobla.

Warren Dixon Of Avondale. son of
Joseph Dixon, who now lives in the
West, is in Ayo1Gale sick with what
is thought to be hydrophobia. He
was fastened in bed Monday with
straps and it took five men to accom-.
plish this. Some time during last
September he was bitten on the foot
by mad dog, and the wound never
properly healed, and no doubt the
present illness is owing to this cause.
Two weeks ago he was taken with
hemorrLages of the lungs and these
had nearly stopped when the disease
took its present form. Drs. Clifford
and Ewing have the case in charge.
