CITY MAP.

For number of years past upon the or
ganization of every new City Council, a
committee has been selected on "City
Map, - but up to the present time no map
has appeared, nor is it at all likely that one
soon will appear, and we are still without a
map of the city. Heretofore it has not been
considered of sufficient importance to press
the matter with any great degree of yigor,
but now that the limits of Wilmington have
been extended mile or two on the West,
and to the Delaware River on the East; our
people are anxious that this work should be
consummated at the earliest possible mo-
ment Our artistic friend Virgins, who
seems to have been the Chief Engineer of
the "new map" for long time past, may
find it very pleasant to nurse this job, hut
the people are getting little anxious about
it, and unless the work is pushed to compile
tion within reasonable time, private enter
prise will accomplish it. Demands are made
for a city map on every side 1t has been
but few days since we heard an entcrpris-
ing business man declare that he would take
SOPiS9 w eiS "ihuuut vi ohV huHVieu uuilal9 >
as soon as good map should appear There
are others also who would subscribe literally
to the same object, and ii our City Fathers
intend to furnish city map at all, they
should push the work forward with all pos
sible dispatch, otherwise they may wake up
some fine morning soon, and find that private
enterprise has performed the work for them
We should have map showing the boun-
daries of Wilmington, with the various
wards properly and clearly defined and
marked so as to render it of greater utility
than any heretofore offered to the public
Such a map would meet with u ready sale
By all means let us have city map from
some quarter or other

RULES ron Doc FIdHTTNd.- d.-The Chicago
Republican devotes column to a dog fight.
We copy paragraph:
"Then McCloskey and Jennings went
through tho important and somewhat peri
lous process of tasting their dogs. This
precautionary measure consists in getting
down on the knees and tapping the tongue
to the dog on the breast and between the
shoulders, in order to convince the other
side that he is clean, and that no poison has
been applied externally for the purpose OF
injuring the other dog if he should bito here.
Each man has the right to require the other
to taste the dog in any part that he may in
dictate"
We should call that business "dog cat
