this venerable statesman.
Born at Exeter, N. H., on the 9th

only four months of being eighty
four years Of age.

woven with the earlier military and
political annals of the nation. Co
temporary with Jackson, Clay, Cal
houn and Webster, he was the last
remaining link in the chain of those
time honored worthless whose names
adorn and give effulgence to the

sa~ A new explosive agent ha

sG- A new explosive agent has
been invented in California, and is be-
hg largely used for blasting purposes.
It is called sodium ymalgam, having
for its principal ingredient sodium, the
metallic base of soda It is exploded
by moisture; a spoonful of water
coming in contact with 200 ounces
Of it, producing an explosion equal in
destructive effect to that of 5000
pounds of gunpowder or SOC pounds
of nitro.glycerine In other words, in
expansive power, one ounce of 80
dunn amalgam is equal to rs pounds
of gunpowder or two and a half
pounds of nitro-gl ycerine.

BARON RoTHsCHILD's WINE GEL
LARA correspondent, who had
been fortunate enough to get peep
at Baron Rothschild's wine cellar in
Paris, thus describes its contents:
1t is not enough to eat-man must
drink, too. / went to the cellar,
where the butler waited for me, lamp
in hand. The massive oak door
vibrated with the creak of the lock,
and we entered the first cellar, whose
sides are filled with quadrangular
shelves, surmounted by label con-
tanning the name of the wine and
date Of its bottling. do not know
the value of the bottles contents, but
their outward appearance has moth
ing repulsive.
Their sealed mouths are covered
with a respectable mould, and their
sides are hidden under the dust of
thirty years. I noticed the Chateau
Yquem of 1884, Blonne Moutoun of
1889, and St. Julien of 1915. If [
reckon accurately, there are $4,000
bottles of wine in the Baron's cellar,
worth, at the least, 100000 francs.
It contains wines of every country,
from the golden drops of Lacryma
Christi to the purple syrup of the
Cape; from the ordinary juice of
Macon wines to the precious cascades
which pour from Mecca's presses.
The cellars where the liquors and
spirits are kept is as rich as the wine
cellar, and like the latter has its
catalogue. Baron de Rothschild's
servants drink two barrels of wine
week. As soon as a barrel is
brought to the house, it is at once
bottled; he allows no such thing as
drinking from the cock. As [ was
leaving the house, a footman came
and said the Baron wished to see me.
I fastened to his office. He said
to me:
"My dear sir, 1 have thought over
the matter and you would oblige me
by publishing nothing about my
house." I bowed profoundly, with
out saying a word, determined to
reply publicly to the request of the
capricious millionaire. "Had called
on you, Baron, the eve of the issue
of the Austrian loan, and said to
you, Baron, you will be particularly
agreeable to me if you will have
nothing to do with the Austrian
loan, you would have replied that
the within of newspaper writer
must yield to the interests OF 100000
subscribers. Allow me, therefore, to
solicit that your wishes yield to the
pleasure which 100000 readers will
have in entering the mansion of the
most illpstf4ous banker in the world. :"

SOMETHING WRoNG.-A gentle
man lately employed as Civil Engi-
neer in the construction of the Grand
and Morganzas Levees, but who was
discharged, as he asserts, because he
would not lead himself to certain pro
fiigate schemes of speculation, has
submitted to our notice several docu-
ments--some Of them from a distin.
guished levee functionary-which re-
feet very seriously upon the moral in,
tegrity Of said functionary. These
letters contain propositions and ur-
gent recommendations to the Engi-
neer to certify to the correctness OF
specified work alleged to have been
performed by a levee contractor,
the measurements for which, the En-
gineer contends were over.estimated
and far from being correct and which
he refused to certify to. The Engi,
neer is fortified with the documents to
make out very ugly case against
one of the protectors" of the "dear
peoples interests, and to show how
the dear peoples" money can be
made to "crevasse" into their "prote c,
tors" pockets under the specious guise
of devotion to the public service.

CURE FOR NEURALGIA.--Prof.
Greene, of the Maine Medical School,
recently performed rare but effective
operation for the cure of that dis
tressing complaint, neuralgia. A
lady ffty-three years Of age, who
had tried every form of medical
treatment without relief, applied to
Prof. Greene, when he etherized the
patient, trephined the jaw, and cut
out piece of the dental nerve, when
the lady was at once relieved from
the most excruciSing pain which
she had suffered continually for
years. Such is one of the triumphs
of surgery.

RHODE ISLAND, CONNECTICUT, OREGON.
VERMONT, NEBRASKA, CoLoRADo, MAINE,
PENNSYLVANIA, ONO, INDIANA and Iowa,
have held State elections Every one of the
twelve has been carried by the Republican
Unionists. All but the three last have chosen
Governors. Together they have chosen
FtFTYFIyE Republican, Unionstsand barely
tt0eIUe Copperheads to the next House OF
Representatives. We have actually gained
Representatives so far, beside Senators in
place OF Nesmith of Oregon and Cowan Of
Pennsylvania. And we have secured the
return, in addition, of Republican Unionists
TO the Senate from Vermont, Connecticut,
Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska, tor six years
ensuing.
Up to this hour, the elections have gone
steadily for us. We have lost nothing and
gained all that we could have reasonably
expected, And we shall certainly triumph
likewise in New YORK, ILLINOIS, Mem.
GAN, Wisconsin, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI,
and KANSAS. The next Congress is already
secure by at least two-thirds IN either House
New Jersey will elect at least three. II
not four, Republicans Unionists (out of five
in all) to represent her in the next House
New York will send majority of Republi
cans to Congress, and c-elect her loyal and
patriotic Goyernor-Fenton-b fine ma
iority.
Never did the popular heart beat higher
for Loyalty and Liberty than now. Every
where large majority of the young mer
who have come Of age within the last veal
are Republicans. They have been anxiousl,
studying the progress of the war for tbt
Union, and they believe in 'Hail Columbia

who on that day will be fighting the enemie
of Republican liberty at the ballot box, an,
give DELAWARE to the party that upheld
the armies and the government of the Uniol
during the bloody days of treason and re
bcllion! Let every patriot do his duty a

Juarez has withdrawn his offer of special
privileges 10 foreign recruits. Gen. Lozado

his coGntrymen, and advises others to do
the same.
Great Fenian meetings were held in But
falo and Cincinnati on the Goth, when money
was collected and military companies were
organized, and much excitement prevailed
over the news from Toronto.
A second visit of Mr.. Wm. b. Reed to his
client, jeff. Davis, leaves the inference that
neither expect trial before Spring, and that
pardon is not anticipated.
Chosln, the Japanese rebel, who was
routed by the Tycoon's forces some time
since, has won victory over them
A man at Philadelphia oyster house,
having been charged thirty five cents for an
oyster stew, objected to paying that sum, of.
fering fifteen cents, at which rate, he con-
tended, oystermen could get rich. The
Court, however, held that the man was
not obliged to eat oysters unless he chose,
but if he did that he must pay the price
charged for them.

AT Fayette, Mo-, on the 10Th, silas D.
Perry, lad of 10 years, was attacked by a
wildcat while shooting patridges, but he
succeeded in throwing it upon the ground,
when it was caught by his dog, and, to es-
cape from him, the animal sprang into a
tree, where the boy shot him before he had
n chance to make another leap.
A lunatic named Allen, living in Tagha-
mic, New York, choked his wife to death on
Saturday night.
A boy, fourteen years old, was shot dead
on Third street, Cincinnati, on Monday, by
a comrade of the same age, for knocking his
hat off.
Patrick Gleason, living in Furnam street,
Brooklyn, was instantly killed on Sunday
morning by Owen McShane. Gleason had
gone from his home into the street to rescue
a friend who was attacked by McShane and
Il man named Thomas Horton, and was

POLITICAL CLIPPINGS.

The Constitutional amendment will be
submitted to the next Legislature Ifthe
Copperheads succeed, it will not be ratified.
Secretary Browning has published a let
ter denouncing the Constitutional amend
ments He says he speaks for the President.
So be it. The ballot-box will speak for the
people.
Rememberl The English aristocracy, who
hold five hundred millions of the Rebel
bonds, would be enriched to that extent by
the assumption of the Rebel debt, and the
Copperheads refuse to prevent that assump-
tion.
The perslstency with which the President
adheres to his ''policy" against the clearly
expressed will OF the people, indicates per
verse stubborness, not manly firmuess He
has a predecessor in ancient scripture:
"Ephraim is joined to his idols; let him
alone"

A DEMOCRATIC ExroNENT.-John Nor
rissey, the bruiser, on being rendered the
Copperhoad nomination for Congress in the
Fifth District of New York, said:
''It is gratifying for me to receive these
manifestations of the confidence of the diff
fercnt organizations that are represented
here tonight and although much has been
said which ought not to have been said,
stand here, gentlemen, as one of the humble
exponents of the principles of the Democratic
party"
The Washington Chronicle says;-Moris-
sey is certainly fit exponent OF the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party" lie repre-.
sentst the material of which that party is com
posed, not only in New York, but throughout
the country. Is it any wonder that party
with such exponents " could get up de
monstations like the New York draft riots,
the New Orleans massacre, and the Memphis
murders?

"THE WORK GOES BRAvELY on
From all parts of the State we have assur-
ances that the people are fully aroused to
the magnitude of the issues involved in the
contest. The evidence of their purpose and
power is seen everywhere, and never in the
history of Delaware did they labor more
zealously in behalf of a party. Large gath
erngs are taking place in all parts of the
State, our organization is complete, and We
have every assurance of success. From
Kent we have intelligence that the Union
men are laboring with zeal worthy of the
cause, while in Sussex, the copperhcads
are dismayed by the indications of the GER
tain defeat that awaits them
In our County the masses are fully arous-
ed, and we will give large majority for
Riddle, McKim and the whole Union ticket.
The intelligent voters of the State arc
true TO freedom and the old flag, and on
Tuesday next we will place the Diamond
State in proud position in the galaxy Of
loyal States of the Union.
