complaining bitterly of the impertinence
of pack peddlers who go to back doors and
walk in without knocking. An example

The Bride Stood By.

Denton O'Dell. a prominent young mer-
chant of C~hulahama, Miss, aud Miss Grace
Jeffues, the society belle of the town, were
married a week ago. Since then O'Dell and
his bride have been living with the brides
mother. Yesterday Mrs. Jeffries left for an
extended visit to relatives. Before going
she called in the young couple and, show
ing them 4 trunk wherein she kept her val
usbles, cautioned them to guard it we'll.
Paul Jefries, Mrs. Jefries' son, also left,
but later he returned, entered the house and
secured possession of the trunk. Mrs.
OfDen demonstrated with him. O'Dell ap-
peared on the scene, and his wife appealed
to him. As he laid hands on the trunk
young Jefries drew a revolver and shot him
down. After O'Dell Lad fallen he pulled
his revolver and fired six shots into Jefries.
The young wife witnessed the deadly duel.

The OhiIdren's Fresh Air Societyo Of Bat
ttmOre.

ooh. look at them flowers Oh. what kind
of flower is that, and that, and that ?"
The questioueg was a little "fresh air" boy,
sent out by the society for his hrst visit to
the country, aud as the train dashed past
meadows bright with flowers, his delight
knew no bounds. "You love flowers, don't
you ?" said |. "You bet | do in a tone
which left no room for doubt.
And then l fell to thinking how the world
is the garden of the Lord, and these, his
little ones, the howerets fair, but how the
earthly gardeners had neglected them, and
letthem get crowded together in unwhOlsome
corners, where the burning air is rendered
more intolerable by the vile odors of dirt
and decay, and, worse than all, is filled with
voices quarreling and cursing, for these
sensitive plants are affected by foul sounds
as we'll as by foul air. If the Son of the
Owner were here lie would have compass
sion on the multitude, and so must we. And
one of the best ways of helping and reviv-
ing them is for those who are in that part
of the garden which is still as He planted it,
where He maketh the grass to grow, and the
trees rejoice before Him and the Heavens
declare His glory to take the uncared for
plantlets to live with them for a little while.
The Children's Fresh Air Society is the
transplanting machine.
Well, by this time we had reached our
destination and left the train. Two of the
little girls from one of tire most wretched
parts of Baltimore had been again invited
to the same place where they had stayed the
year before. A little country girl of their
own age drove down to meet them, and the
children rushed into each others arms. 1t
was needless to ask if they were glad to see
each other again. In a conversation had
with one of the young men of the family,
he said, 81 don't see how the country people
can help taking the children We are more
than repaid for any slight trouble they may
be, by the infinite pleasure the two weeks
visit gives them"
The postoGice address of the society is 112
n. Charles street, Baltimore. It's president
is Mr.. Wm l.. Smith its vice-president
aud treasurer Mr.. Fred. R. Owens, and sec
rotary Miss Katharine G. Spear, 81 w.
Lanvale street.
THE path of a good woman is indeed
strewn with flowers, but they rise behind
her steps, not before them" Would that all
the women of the State might unite in this
living flower mission, and, taking the little
ones by the hand, say
Come out, children, from the mine and from
the city,
Sing out. children, as the little thrushes do,
Pluck your hanofuls of the meadow cowslips
pretty.
Laugh aloud to feel your fingers let them

GONE GRAND, SWEET soNG.D
A Letter from Mr.. Cleveland on hts
Married Life.

ATLANTA. GA, July u. The Journal
this afternoon prints a letter written four
years ago by President Cleveland to John
Temple Graves, of Georgia, the distinguish
ed Southern orator, on receipt of an invita-
ton to Mr.. Graves's then approaching mar
rage. Mr.. Graves had, by reason OF public
and private association, become acquainted
with Mr.. Cleveland and enjoyed his friend
ship and esteem in a gratifying degree
When the wedding cards were sent to the
then ex-President, Mr.. Graves accompanied
them with a letter in which he paid tribute
to the beauty and tenderness of the Presi-
dents own domestic life and the influence
of this high example upon the domestic lie
of the people. The answer came promptly
in the letter which follows:
No. SIG Madison avenue, NsT York, De-
cember 20, 1S9O.-John Temple Graves,
ESQ, Rome, Ga.-My Dear Mr.. Graves {;
We received the card of invitation to your
wedding a day or two ago, and am glad
that your letter, received only a few hours
ago. iustifes me, on behalf of my dear wife
and myself, to do more than formally notice
the occasion. And first of all let me assure
YOU now how much we appreciate the
kind and touching sentiment you convey TO
US in our married state. As | look back
upon the years that have passed since God
in His infinite goodness. bestowed upon me
| the best of all His gifts-a loving and atiec-
| tionate wife-all else, honor, the opportuni'
ty of usefulness and the esteem of my fellow
couutrymen, are subordinated in every as
~piration of gratitude and thankfulness.-
| You are not wrong, therefore, when you
claim in the atmosphere of fast coming bliss,
which now surrounds you, kinship with one
| who can testify with unreserved tenderness
| to- the sancti6cation which comes to man when
Heaven directed leads the way to marriage,
| Since this tender theme has made us klns'
men, let me'wish for you and the dear one
who is to make your life doubly dear to you
all the Joy and happiness vouchsated TO
man. You will, l know, feel that our kind
wishes can reach no greater sincerity and
force than when my wife joins me in the
ferveut desire that you and your bride may
enter upon and enjoy the same felicity
which has made our married life zone grand,
sweet song" Very truly your friend,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
A year or so ago Mr.. Graves requested OF
the President permission to publish the let
ter for the sake of its influence upon the
home life of the people, and Mr.. Cleveland
promptly replied that, although the word
ing Of the letter had passed from his recol-
lection, he would, for this purpose, freely
commit its use to "the d~elicacy and disore'
| ton of his friend.".
The recent interesting domestic event at
| Gray Gables induced Mr.. Graves to consent
to the publication of the letter.

S%plinters but No Split.

The Houston Texas Post says Above
all else in the proceedings of the Memphis
silver convention stands out the movement
that was launched some months ago to split
the Democratic party on that question. The
hope WAS originally to divide the Republi-
can party also, but it is very apparent that
the Republican party will stay together and
present a united front in the next national
campaign. The convention had for promi-
neut features silver-mine owners, %populists
and men who have cranks in all political
movements for years. Nothing causes an army
to get together so quickly aud stand every
man to mis- guns as the sight Of the enemy
marching down upon it in solid %phalan1.
aud it is very evident, now that the Demo-
cratic party has taken a sober second
thought, it will not divide and be conquered.
There may be a few -%plinters here and there,
but no split.
