From Hagerstown. A. R. ENCAMPMENT IN PEBRUARY—SERIOUS AGAINST THE SHERIFF—ELEcTRIC LAOUTS IN THE HOUSES. Correspondence of Tas EvEsrea Stam, Hacrnstown, Nov. 20, 1988. Hagerstown is looking forward to a big time ou the 22d of February, upon which date the Maryland department encampment,GrandArmy of the Republic, will convene in annual session here. Allof the posts of the state will be in attendance, and a grand parade of local and Visiting veterans will be a feature of the gath- ering. Military organizations from the Dis- trict of Columbia, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia will be in attendance. Reno Post, the home organization, is perfecting arrange- ments for the event. The grand jury of the circuit court of this which is now in session, submitted a t to the court strongly condemning the manser in which the jail is kept. characterizing it as disgraceful, and recommending that im- mediate and radical changes be made for the sake of humanity and for health. The jury also found a true bill of indictment against the sheriff, Jno. H. Gattrell, for malfeasance in office. Although there are seven counts in the indictment, he is not charged with any misap- propriation of funds. The most serious appear to be the keeping of the jail in an uncleanly condition and the misusing of prisoners under his charge. The son of the sheriff, J. W. Gat- trell, was also indicted for assault and battery. The affair has occasioned considerable excit ment and comment throughout the coun’ ‘So far as your correspondent can learn there has never been a similar indictment found in this state in the case of a sheriff. In cases of this kind the coroner takes the place and per- forms the duties of the sheriff pending trial, and if there be no coroner, or he be disquali- fied for any reason, the court appoints an elisor to perform such dutivs. In this instance the latter course will have to be pursued as we have no coroner. The sheriff has retained Hon. Edward Stake and M. L. Keedy, late states attorney, to defend him. Mrs. David Renner. of Mapleville, this county, while out riding with another lady who was accompanied with a child, was thrown from the buggy by the horse running away, and re- ceived injuries from which she has since died. Her companions escaped unhurt. ‘ Hagerstown has introduced a system of in- eundescent electric lights for indoor lighting in connection with the are lights on the streets. This, in connection with gas, which the town enjoys, should give plenty of light to all. Thankegiving day was generally observed here by the suspension of business and relig- ious services in most of the churches.

A QUIET THANKSGIVING IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY 4 WEDDING AT GOSHEN —AN ELECTION OF GOOD TRMPLARS. Correspondence of Tax EVENING STAR. Rock vite, Nov. 29, 1888. ‘Thanksgiving Day passed off here in a very quiet manner, business of all kinds being sus- pended during the greater portion of the day. Services were held in the Methodist, Episcopal, and Catholic churches, and at the latter church in the afternoon a donation party assembled aud presented the pastor, Rev. Father Connel- ly, gith a large amount of provisions and a number of household articles. Many persons from Washington visited the county for the purpose of gunning, and cars were well filled with men, guns, and dogs. The Grand Lodge of Good Templars of Mary- jand will hold a meeting at this place on Wed- nesday next, which will be presided over by Thos. J. Owen, of ithersburg. chief templar, y Magruder, of Olney, vice- r, of Baltimore, secretary, and . of Laurel, grand chap- lain. Quite a large attendance is expected, as the order has a large number of members in the county.

Wat- kins, charged with having attempted tocommit @ felonious assault upon Prudence V. Burdette. aged thirteen. the danghter of Jos. M. Bur- dette, residing near Damascus, this county. The prisoner is a man of twenty-five years of age and very unprepossessing in appearance. He declines to have anything to say in regard to the matter. It is learned that there is great eXcitement in the neighborhood where the out- rage was attempted. and threats of lynching were freely made before the prisoner waa hur- ried away by the officer.

Pretty Presents That Can be Made at Home. Once more, says the Landon Queen, the time has come around for considering what we shall make for prevents to our friends at the ap- proaching Yuletide. Prettiness, novelty, and quick accomplishment—these are the three chief points to be attained. With these ends in view we will describe a few articles that take our fancy, and that we hope will please and be useful to others. First for the fan painters, and there should not be few of these in days when art education is carried to a high pitch. Many girls can decorate a, fan-leaf who could not for their lives paint a picture worth looking at, and the art is a fascinating as well as a prof- itable one. Silk and satin fan leaves are at present quite out of count, and little wonder, when we look back and think of the vulgar atrocities that have been seen in many shop- windows. Feathers, gauze, a mixture of gauze | and lace, and the ever lovely old vellum, are the favorites of the hour; and of these the jauze undoubtedly stands first as “the fashion.” ut the designs must show originality, and the | latest craze is for the outline of the decoration to form the upper edge of the gauze mount. Then, also, the painting must be done in im- pressionist style; colors almost appear at tirst sight to be thrown on at random, but after a moment we find “reason in the madness.” It naturally follows that as the outline of the de- sign cuts out the edge of the gauze there is no uniformity of contour, but this is the “go” | now; to be artistic things must be irregular. The entire leaf of one black gauze fan will be formed of a huge butterfly; the body toward the center, the wings spread out on both sides, No attempt is made to produce an imitation of the texture of the wings. or of their true coloring; they are a species of pantomimic but- terflies, all flash and a great deal of imagina- tive beauty. Still they are pleasing, and bun- dreds of girls and young matrons w@uld be de- lighted to receive one as a present. The great thing for the artist to try for is to produce a rich harmony of color, subdued and yet glow- ing. Dragon flies—one or three—make a good subject, but we object strongly to canaries and parrots being chosen for the purpose; they are lar too substantial and clumsy. Brown gauze makes a eharuiiug ground for painting butter- flies on, and a little gilding is allowable to throw up the colors. Hand screens are formed in the mage of chestnut leaves. with a graceful tassel of the flowers introduced. One large leaf is ym on the right side, and a small leaf and the bunch of flowers fall to the left. A slight sketch on paper will show how irregular, perforce, must be the edge of the screen, but the design is so managed as to make somewhat the shape of a circle. The sunflowers and leaves we consider quite against the canons of art when the center of the flower is used as space for alandseape. No matter how well the painting is done, the idea is false, and the re- sult must be inartistic. This paper on gifts must necessarily be scarcely better than a medley. for we wish to meet the requirements of many. and to suit all tastes, so we will mention next the expensive bamboo work-baskets just lately brought out. Three bamboos are crossed, so that a soft plaited straw, willow or cane basket can rest on the top. This natty little standing work-basket can find space in acorner of a smal! room, where a larger one would be out of the question. It can be trimmed in a vari- ety of ways—with Liberty silk squares, ribbon bows, Spanish ball fringes and tassels, or bog ad lined with Liberty silk, arranged 80 as to form a bag, with draw-string and upstand- ing frill, The style of the affuir does not allow of any rich, expensive decoration, such as heavy brocades, velvets or thick silks. It is essentially unpretending, and to be in keeping, the trim- ming should be so also. Another plan would be to fit it up prettily as a bonbonniere for Christ- mas, ornamenting a false top with artificial flowers and ribbon bows, or with bunches of graceful grasses, among which a bird’s nest should be cozily tucked away, the birds being perched about on lichen covered twigs. In wny case the interior should be lined ready for after use as a work case. Bamboosquare palm stands may be utilized as work stands by plac- ing on the top slab a Chinese bowl-shaded basket, lined and trimmed. The bamboo legs are wound round with two shades of Liberty silk, such as chestnut and coral or shrimp-pink and apple-green or apricot and silver gray, and finished off with pompons. The lower shelf is fitted with a tray, lined with silk, either but- toned down or with first a plain layer of silk, and then the four corners have half squares, folded in plaits, laid across them, these, of course, of contrasting colors. Acharming cushion is made with the same kind of corners. The center is of velvet, with arrasene embroidery; the corners are a little difficult to describe but easy todo. Take a square of Indian silk and gather along one side, first turning up two inches so as to make a double frill; the gathering thread should be as long as half one side of the cushion. Next gather the opposite side of the square in the sume way, but draw the thread tight. Fasten the loose gathering half way along the edge of the cushion, where the join of the front and back comes, leaving the frill beyond. Draw the silk over the corner to the middle of the next side, and tie round that gathering thread with fine cord, finished with silky pompons, letting that heading compose a sort of fall rosette. Repeat until all four corners are cov- ered; half of edge of the cushion will then be plain and half frilled. This gives an uncom- mon appearance, and the result is extremely satisfactory if good colors are selected. Photo frames composed entirely of narrow velvet and silver braid are fashionable. We should not advise readers living in London to set about making these, but many who con our columns weekly are far away from shops where such fancy goods are sold. Velvet ribbons half au inch wide are crossed by silver braid, plaited in and out to produce a check pattern. The wooden frame, slightly rounded in front, is covered with this, then the back is neatly faced with watered silk; and an easel support is added. Continuously novelties, in the shape of hand- kerchief sachets, are being brought out. The latest we have noticed is aleathern bag. It is made as follows: Take an oblong piece of wash leather, paint across the bottom some quaint | design quite roughly, but let it be “telling.” Turn back the top about 3 inches, and repeat the same design on that, cutting out the edge tocorrespond with the outline. Now cut ont the back of the bag to fit the front piece, and stitch it up, first inserting along the bottom a leather fringe. Run cords for drawstrings, al- lowing the ornamental heading to fall over outward. The fringe is made from a length of leather 2%¢ inches wide, slit up with scissors at short, regular intervals. A line from one of the poets is painted roughly in across the bag, the design carrying out the idea of the quotation, Sachets aro still made of an enormous size, Some of the most lovely are of shot satin, embroided with exquisite shades of silk. and lined with white silk. The nightdress, hand- kerchief and glove sachets all correspond, and together they form a very handsome present. These are expensivé to’ buy ready made, but ver fingers can manufacture them at home half the cost. The grand thing is to get artistic shades of color; the ordinary pale pink or blue are intolerable, and one is wearied of the sight of them. | -eoe-—_____ The Result of a Dream. There was once a mechanic at Bristol, Eng., whose name was Watts, He was by trade a shotmaker. Watts had to take great bars of lead and pound them out into sheets of thick- ness about equal to the diameter of the shot desired to make. Then he cut the sheets into little eubes, which he rolled in a revolving rrel until the corners were worn off from the constant friction. The Chicago Mail thus re- lates the rest of the story: Watts, after an evening spent with some jolly companions at the ale-house, went home and turned into bed. He dreamed he was ont again with the “boys.” ‘They were all trying to find their way home when it began to rain | shot. Beautiful globules of lead, petishes and shining, fell in a torrent. In mornin, when, Watts arose he remembered the dream, and wondered what shape molten lead would take in falling a distance through the air.

A band of armed men masks broke open the jail at Wytheville, Va., at 2 o'clock Thursday morning and rescued Wayman Sut- ton, who was to have been hanged to-day for the murder of Peter Harvell. The jailer says the mob peta ge the door with a sledge- hammer _ wi refused them admittance. covered him with their pistols and demanded the keys to the cells. Again he refased to obey, whereupon they searched the rooms and found the keys in the sewing machine drawer. After securing Sutton they locked some of the guards in his cell and left for the west end of the county. The mob is variously estimated by persons who saw it at from 50 to 1,000. A sledge-hammer that was used was ford ie: the jail. Harvell was murdered in March, 1887, and the evidence, all of which was circumstan- tial. pointed to Wayman Sutton and his father- in-law, Morgan Pendleton, as the perpetrators of = — eeiioton is said to be in Ken- tucky, and a letter ing to have bee written by lim, in which he declared: shat be and not Sutton was the murderer, was recently submitted to Gov.

BABY EDITH GIVEN TO HER MOTHER—A SUCCESS- FUL EXPERIMENT. A New York special to the Baltimore Ameri- j can says: Edith Eleanor McLean, the baby | that was born prematurely by thirteen weeks in the Emigrant hospital on Ward's island and was kept alive in a hatching cradle, left the hospital yesterday with her mother. This | strange case has attracted widespread atten- | tion, as it isthe first time a baby has been raised in a hatching cradle in this country. | Little Edith was born tember 7, and was only 14 inches long, weighing a litile over 2 | pounds. She conld not have lived under the ordinary treatment of babies, so the incubator method was tried, and has proved successful. The baby has grown 6 inches in length, and | now weighs 6 pounds, Dr. Thomas, superin- tendent of the hospital, told the mother yes- terday that Edith was strong enough to stand the strain of travel. and Agnes started at once for Birmingham, this state, where her sister lives. Every one in the hospital was loth to have the baby leave. All had watched her de- velopement with the greatest intesest, and had become strongly attached to the little one. o ‘oe di A Disoracep Memper or ParutamEent.—Mr. Robert Gent Davis, member of parliament for Kensington, was committed to prison on Tues- day for contempt of court in failing to pay £3,778 due by him as administrator of his un- cle's estate. He appeared in court Thurs- day, and offered to apologize and to refund the money. The judge, however, refused to inter- fere. and the order of arrest was handed to the sheriff for execution. Davis’ debt was sub- scribed by tory members of parliament to pre- vent the disgrace of the arrest of a member fot breech of trust. In the house of commons Mr. Healy asked what steps Mr. Smith intended to recommend the house to take regarding the charge aguinst Mr. Davis of using money re- ceived in a fiduciary capacity. Mr. Edmund Robertson, liberal. reminded the house that the expulsion of a member should be decreed for a breach of trust, and he asked if Mr. Da- vis’ conduct did not amount to that? Mr. Smith rotested against hasty action in a matter af- fecting the character and honor of a member. ndire-wson Riot ByCotorep MEN IN Savannan.—When Patrolman McMurray attempted to restore or- der among a crowd of colored men in Savan- nah, Ga., yesterday, he was set upon by the negroes and in defending himself used his re- volver.

Me- Murray escaped into a house, but the crowd broke through the windows and threw him into the streets, where colored women beat him with bricks until insensible, The police were notified at headquarters, and a squad of mounted officers soon arrived. By this time 1,000 colored men were yelling, ‘Kill them! kill them!” The police held the crowd back, and eight of the ringleaders were arrested. ‘The crowd was finally dispersed. Last night a colored man with six builet wounds in his body was foundin the part of the city where the shooting occurred, and it is supposed to be the one whom McMurray shot.

The Endecalogue of Fiction. According to the Pall Mall Gazelle “Mr Besant formulates eleven rules which must be constantly kept in mind by those who would worthily follow the art of fiction. These eleven rules—the endecalogue, as one might call them, of the art fiction—are as follows: 1. Practice writing something original every Y. 2. Cultivate the habit of observation. 3. Work regularly at certain hours, 4. Read no rubbish. 5. Aim at the formation of style. 6. Endeavor to be dramatic. 7. A great element of dramatic skill is selec- tion. 8. Avoid the sin of writing about a character. |. Never attempt to describe any kind of life except that with which you are familiar. 10. Learn as much as you can about man and woman. 11. For the sake of forming « good, natural style and acquiring command of language write poetry. “Most of this, while perfectly familiar to Besant scholars, is not known to the general public. The last commandment, for example, is found in ‘Allin a Garden Fair.’ It is ob- vious to those who have thought about the mat- terat all, that a poet almost invariably writes good prose.” Longfellow, Thackeray, Matthew Arnold, and Mr. Besant himself are examples. Mr. Besant's doctrine, moreover, is in accord with that of so high an authority asthe present prot ssor of poetry at Oxford. Writing in 866; Mr. Palgrave said: “The excellence of a poets prose is well known to those whocare for excellence in literature; indeed, looking at literature from the beginning, it is com tively rare to find a prose writer of the first rank who has not himself made serious Practice of poetry.” | The canning house of Graham & Co., at Goldsboro’, Caroline county, Md., was burned; loss $16,000.
