0L13_T_II\_II£§TORY.
How Two Brothers Settled a Claim to 3
Lovely Quakeress.
The later assemblies of Annapolis,
Marlborough and Chestertown were
hardly more “in vogue” than the yearly
meetings of the Eastern Shore Quakers.
Their curious quaintness, and the pic-
turesque contrast they presented to the
radiant attire and libertine manners of
the world’s people, who minuetted and
coquetted in manor houses, and caroused
and ruffled in cockpits and bowling
courts, drew Romanists and “English
Catholics” to the doors of their sober
conventicle, and filled its leafy ap
proaches with profane chariots and
chairs, and prancing steeplechasers,
and side-saddled palfreys. So it hap-
pened that, to the yearly meeting held
at Third Haven, .near Talbot Court
House, in the year 1700, there came by
opposite ways, through groups of booths
erected by the graceless and irreverent
for the sale of trumpery and tipple, a
Quaker maiden mounted on a pillion
behind her father, and two plumed and
rapiered cavaliers gaily curveting.
‘ The wimpled maid, whose overcoming
charms still bloom in tradition, was
Sarah Covington, of Somerset, and the
prancing cavaliers were the brothers,
Edward and Philemon Lloyd, sons of
Madam Henrietta. Marie, aforesaid.
“ Immediately the pretty lads, with a
sudden, equal passion, loved the wim-
pled maid, and yearned for her, and
each conceived a. cunning purpose,
proper to the country and the time, and
shrewdly held his peace.
When the meeting was over, the
brothers, each taking his cunning
sghgmp in hand, mounted and galloped
away, taking different ways; and they
rode hard, laughing as they rode for
joy, at their boyish artifice. After lin-
gering for awhile in places remote from
the highway, where there was no fear
of discovery by any chance acquaint-
ance, and so that the slower Quaker
folk might have time to regain their
homes, they rode on into Somerset—
and met at their charmer’s gate. First
they swore, then they blushed, and
then they laughed loud and long. Phil
said:
“Let her be for whichever, you or I,
did see her first,” and Ned, the elder,
and the heir, assented. Then said
Phil:
“No sooner had I taken my place in
the meeting than I beheld the girl, and
loved her.”
And Ned said: “I passed the night
before the meeting at the ‘Peach-Blos-
som’ farm, and at the foot of the
hill, turning into the gate at the water
mill, I saw the girl on a. pillion behind
her father, and they inquired the way
to the meeting house, and I loved her.”
Then Phil rode back to Talbot, and
Ned dismounted at the gate, and led
his horse to the porch. Thus, in 1703,
Sarah Covington became the wife of
the heir and mistress of Wye House.
She, it was who. in 1733, built with
“English” brick the house of “Read-
bourne,” in Queen Anne’s county, that
typical colonial mansion, still in excel.
lent preservation, and showing an im-
posing pile fitted with materials brought
over from England, where the noble
hall and the broad stairway of the
period confer a. characteristic distinc-
tion—The Century.
A Landmark Going.
With the passing of the old four-
story brown-stone house at Nineteenth
street and Broadway, which was once
the home of Peter Goelet, and the erec-
tion of a. modern office building on the
site, New York loses- a familiar land-
mark and country visitors the sugges-
tion of home which the cow occasional-
ly seen in the yard gave to them. The
cow hasn’t been seen for several years,
but there was a. time when it was as
much Of a. curiosity to strangers in this
city as if it had been a strange animal
from a circus.
Delmonico’s is another landmark that
is soon to disappear. When this famous
old restaurant moves up town it Will
leave behind the traditions that are
now history. During the past two
years half a dozen of the historical old
hotels in this city have been torn down
and their sites buried under big office
buildings—New York Sun.

THE DISHES OF CHILDHOOD.
Congressman Cummings in the Midsrkd
Public Duties J oyf‘ully Recalls Theml,
You may forget whatever ticklu
your intellect, but you will never for
get the tickling of your appetite. Sit-
ting in my room in the glow of a. grate
fire, with dim old pictures hanging on
the walls, the dishes of my boyhood
days come back to me.
I remember one supper above all
others. My father was a clergyman.
There was a. protracted meeting in
Honesdale, Pa., where we lived. Iwas
about nine years old, and every night
was forced to seek salvation at this
meeting. It was a bitter cold winter.
In addition to his clerical duties, my
father was the jeweler of the village.
I was employed at the shop until the
services began. They were held in
what was called the Berean Hall, above
the jewelry shop.
I was allowed to go over to Gold-
smith’s oyster saloon and get a plate of
keg oysters for supper. My father had
the same. We got about a dozen oys-
t‘ers in those days for 12 1-2 cents—a
Spanish shilling. From the oyster sa-'
loon we went direct to the protracted
meeting. It would be called a. revival
meeting in these days. There was
plenty of hell-fire in the exhortations.
and a dozen or more sinners went up to
the altar, or “anxious seat,” on the
night in question.
The services held on until midnight.
Then I had to 'walk about three quar-
ters of a mile across the canal and up a
hill to my home. It had snowed in the
meantime. The snow was _a foot or
more in depth. The wind blew a gale.
My father were a. long broadcloth cape
cloak lined with Wool. My brother and
I ran along at his side with our _heads
and bodies buriedin the cloak. Our
fingers were numb, despite the woolen '
mittens, held together by a string hung
around our necks, and our toes ached
with the cold.
When we arrived home my mother
set out to cook the supper, as all of us
were hungry. It was a plain supper,
and hurriedly gotten ready, but of. the
best. It was boiled mackerel and p0
tatoes. The mackerel was a No.1-~you
never see such mackerel nowadays.
The meat was the color of the finest
sauterne, and the belly was as white as
snow and as fat as butter. The potatoes
were nice and crisp, and we mashed
them and ate them with a knife, and
not with a fork. Of all the dishes I
have ever seen since that time, in odor.
taste and digestion, that was the very
finest. '
There is always a laugh when a man. .
talks about his mother's cooking, but
that cooking was the best I had ever
seen before, or that I have ever seen
since.
The keg oysters had been good, but
the mackerel capped the climax. Of
the seventy millions of people now in
the United States, I doubt if more than
ten thousand ever have tasted the old
keg oyster. ' It acquired a flavor from
the wood it was packed in. It was a.
peculiar delicate flavor that touched
one’s midriff.
The oysters in those days were carried,
to Honesdale in sleighs from New York.
The last time I ever tasted a. keg oyster
was at Lackawaxen. A good many
years ago, just after the branch road to
Honesdale was built, I entered a res-
taurant, and there stood a keg» of eye
ters, with a bottle of pepper sauce by
its side. The train stopped there about
ten minutes, and in that time three-
quarters of the keg disappeared. Since
then Frank Thurber has sent me a keg,
but it was years ago, and the oysters
lacked the peculiar flavor of the 'old
ones.
A word as to the knife and fork in
the olden days. I had never seen a man
‘use a fork in conveying food to his
month until I was.12 or 15 years old.
Men could use the knife in those days
skillfully and gracefully. Indeed, the
use of the fork was impossible, as
forks were then oldfashioned. two-
pronged affairs, not wider than your
little finger.
I saw an old-timer the other day. He
was enjoying a meal in Fritz Renter’s
restaurant in Washington. He was
Senator Allen 'of Nebraska. He used
the knife with exquisite grace. As I
gazed at him and saw the rare tid-bits
disappearing from the blade, the old
feeling came ,Over me, and I tackled my
meal in the same way. Ifound out
that I lacked the experience of youth. I
tackled an egg fried -on one side. It
was a. little greasy, and as I was about
to snap it from the point of the knife,
it slid toward the handle and landed on
my shirt front. I had lost the ability to
handle the blade properly. Senator
Allen would have done much better, as _
he evidently was not out of practice.
-—Anos J. CUMMINGS.
He Tempted Fate.
Apoor fellow got tired of life, and
thinking to commit suicide, stripped off
his clothes and leaped into the river.
The chill of the water made it impos-
sible for him to die comfortably, so with
chattering teeth he crawled up the
bank, determined to give fate one more.
chance to treat him decently.
while he was trying to drown some one
took every rag he owned. SO he looked
about for something better than fig
leaves, and found an empty barrel. It
was a pretty bad sort of bloomer cos-
tume, but it served his purpose and he
went home in the disguise. Possibly
when the next hot spell comes he may
try the experiment once more.
. ' Just Like a \Voman.
Mr. Ferry—Here is a. story about a
woman horsewhipping another woman
she found in an: ice cream saloon with
her husband. Just like a. woman.
Why didn’t she whip the man?
Mrs. Ferry—Why didn’t she whip the
man? If some one were to steal your
dog, for instance, would you beat the
dog?

Woman Should Fence.‘ ~
Physicians are encouraging the fad of
fencing for women, claiming that it is
more beneficial than many other violent
forms of exercise. The girl who is nar-
row chested, the woman who is too lazy
to walk, and the bicyclist who has tired
herself out are all benefited by this
pleasant form of athletics. It is said
that a. course of fencing lessons even-
cured one woman of sciatica.
A few years ago nearly .all newspapers
published, at this season, reCIpes for summer
complaints. Now such items are seldom
met with. Publishers have learned that
there is nothing quite as good as Chamber-
lain’s Colic, Cholera. and Diarrhoea Remedy
'for these diseases and as it is in general use
ever here the have quit publishing these
recipxeg. No ode havin a. bottle of the
remedy in the house nee fear an attack of
bowel complaint. It can always be depended
upon and is pleasant and safe. For sale by
