The Presbyterian Church and our Form
of Government.

MEssRs. EpIroRs Permit me word further
on the assertion alluded TO in your article on
Presbyterian Reunion, that our form of govern
| ment was modelled after that of the Presbyterian
Church.
| have never seen the direct proof, If proof
there be, that such was actually the fact. Perhaps
the remark grew out Of tbs striking similarity
between the two forms Of government
The form of the Government Of the United
States is not Democratic A Democracy is where
the people exercise the direct power MS M ss
They meet In public assembly, make and execute
their DEGREES. church organization which does
this is u Democracy and in this respect Baptist
Church. OF the usual form, Is pure Democracy
| the most SO of any with which your correspond
ent is acquainted
The Government of the United States Is not of
this form. 1t is Republican or Representatives
The people, the fountain and source of power
delegate to representatives Its exercise.
The idea of representation has become part
of the American mind, so that scarcely a society
or corporation, however small, can be formed
without Its appearance in an "eyecutiye commit
tee" board Of managers, or the like.
In such q form Of government we have the
power OF the people welded intelligcntly and de-
libeatcly by men chosen by the people for the
purpose IL Is n power not simply of the majori-
ty, but power which protects and provides for
the minority as well.
Now, the government Of the Presbyterian
Church is just this representation. The people
OF single church delegate their power to repre-
sentatives, called elders, chosen TO act sometimes
for term OF years. usually for life. These elders
are u little Congress, and, as n body, are called
the Session. The Presbyte,y is representative
body in which the churches, like our States, arc
| represented by elders. The General Assembly is
representative body made up of representatives
of the .Presbyterics. This central body gives
unity to the Presbyterian Church as Congress
does to the United States.
Out of this striking resemblance and from the
fact that the Presbyterian Church had been in ex-
istence nearly century when the Constitution
was formed, the remark quoted probably origi-
mated PRESBYTERIAN.

JEFF Davis, Jubal Early, and others of
the same character, attended the marriage
of William Hyde, editor of the s. Louis Re
publican to Miss Benson, Southern lady,
at Toronto, Canada, on the 18th.
The good will of the Richmond
Times was sold on Saturday evening by
public auction, and bought by the proprie-
tors of the Dispatch, for thirty-two hun
bred dollars.
On Saturday, the sth inst, the United
States Treasury held the largest amount of
money ever held at any one time since the
organization of the government, to wit i.
$lS0,0o0,0oo, of which $l02, 100000 were
gold and $7s,ooo,ooo currency.
There is a wild sort Of "a legend CON
nected with the Great Eastern, to the
effect that between the outer and inner
frames or cases smith and his riveter per-
ished while at work and their bodies have
never been found. 1t is said by the sailors
and shipwrights that the srectres of these
two victims haunt the dark space between
the outer and inner cases of the vessel.
The New York Citizen says of the TAX
ing of jeff. Davis; "That Mr. Lincoln re.
GREETED the capture, has already been made
part Of history Jg his famous anecdote
Of the White Elephant When first in
formed Of the arrest made by Major
General j. II. Wilson," To which the
Commercial Advertiser replies Unfortu
nately for our contemporaries argument
Davis was not arrested by General Wilson
until twenty-s six days after President Lincoh
had been assassinated."

Reported far the Commercial
The Delaware Dental Association held its sew
enth semi-annual meeting, at Dover, on Thurs
day, the 18th inst. These sessions are held for
the purpose OF professional Improvement and soci-
81 interiningling of the gentlemen belonging to
the profession 1t seems to be generally admitted
that they may he productive of great good yet
there are practitioners who stand aloof and have
never given the Association their countenance,
sympathy or attendance.
Quite goodly number Of gentlemen from this
State and also from Maryland were present, and
lively interest was taken in the various essays,
and the discussions which arose upon the topics
before the meeting.
The election of officers took place for the cnsu-
ing year, as follows:-
President--Dr. Smith, Of Salisbury, Md. Jice
Presiiem-Dr Register. Of Milford Cor. and
Rec. .Secreia,y--Dr. $. Marshall, of Wilmington ;
1iedsn,er--Dr. p. Jones, of Wilmington; ETecu-
tee CommHee-Drs. Register and Smithcrs of
Smyrna and Caulk of Wilmington; Lj,dridR-
DR.. Caulk.
There was but one thing to regret and mar the
pleasure Of the meeting and that was tile limited
| time which one day afforded for the presentation
and discussion of so many interesting topics. and
in order to obviate that difficulty the meeting de-
| cidcd to hold two days session hereafter
The next meeting of the Association will be
held in Smyrna, Del, the coming fall.

Central Presbyterian Festival

The fruit and floral festival for the benefit of the
Mission Schools of the Central Presbyterian
Church made quite brilliant and successful open
ing last night in the City Hall
The entrance TO the hall is beautiful Over the
door on Market street is thrown a large semi
circular transparency, the arch of which is COM
posed Of alternate strips of red, white and blue
and in the white face of the transparency are in-
scribed the words" Festival, Mission Schools of
Central Church.
Entering the hall the first thing which strikes
the eye is the Flower table, which is square ta-
bic running from pillar to pillar around the four
pillars in the centre OF the hail. overhead are beau
tlfully arraycd wreaths and garland of eyergreens
and flowers, and among them hanging baskets
and bird cages. The table itself looks MS though
Flora had there empted her lap of its choicest
treasures. This table is in Charge of Misses Buck,
Quigley and Chapman, and several other younu
ladies, and seems to be not only the centre Of the
hall but the centre of attraction.
Over in the northwest corner of the hall at the
foot of the steps, is the "Grand Central Tele-
graph Office" 1t il in charge Of Misses Josephine
is our friend p. I. E. Smith, We can say this for
the office, that the charges are remarkably cheap.
Running along the whole north side ofihc hail,
towards Sixth street, is the North Fruit table, in
Jefferson and Others. 1t is well filled with straw
berries, cakes, ices. jelies, &c, and is very well
| patroniZed.
Running along in front of the stand is the table
| Wncre more substantial fare Il dispensed. Here
hunger may be appcascd as well as the appetite

crabs, Ga delicious luxury, by the way) and quite
a variety OF other edbes The table is in charge
Of Mrs Howell, Mrs. General Smith and quite a
number of other ladies.

lied. The table is in charge of Miss Annie Stew
art Mrs. L. Ch,irchman and others. The price;
here as everywhere else in the festival are very
reasonable, and the measure is generous.
| Next to this table is the chdrens table wei
stocked with toys, flowers, &c, and looking very
tempting to children, 1t is under the management
of Miss Josie Tatnal, Helen vey, and severa
other young misses.
The yard which is fitted up MS an ice cream
| garden is well lighted and SO arranged as whit

The entrance to this walk is spanned by I'M arcl
over which flag is elegantly festooncd

and Marshals splendid engraving of Lincoln.

A SPLENDID SToRE.-The new store of Head
ley 4 ush Jewellers, at No. 229 Market street, is
one OF the best evidences we have yet seen Of the
fact that Wilmington has really passed the slow
town OF village state of its existence Messrs
Head y Il Bush have opened a store there which
enti ely obyates the supposed necessity Of people
running to Philadelphia for fine jewelry. Larger
stocks may doubtless be found in larger cities,
with better taste, cannot be found anywhere
They devote special attention to American
Watches and have them of all makes and sizes.
They have alss ON hand stock of jewelry of the
choicest and newest styles, and an assortment Of
solid and plated silyer-ware which cannot be sur
passed. Much Of their plated ware is of the eel
ebrated Sheffield manufacture, and as the body Of
the article is of Nickel ii has the ring and general
appearance of pure silver and being plated vita
"hard plate" it will retain this appearance nj
most an indefinite length of time.
Their store is also very handsome. The Win
dow which is n fine and unusually large plata
glass one, is well filled with fine goods. The YES
tibule, which Il lighted by chandelier and paved
with elegantly figured tile contains an upright
case; there is also another upright case contain
ing fine jewclry just inside the door. On the
counter four splendid plate glass cases, in front
of the counter four walnut wall-cases for silver
ware and clocks, and back of the counter three
similar cases for silverware At the rear of the
store and just opposite the door is a magnificent
walnut-lramed mirror, one of the finest we ever
saw The floor is of caustic tile OF neat design.
Altogether the store is such an establishment rs
not merely the proprictors but the city may be
proud Of

The engineer in charge of the surveys of this
road Is now busily engaged in making estimates
OF the probable expense Of the various proposed
routes from Dupont's Summit into this city. So
far as we have been able to learn we believe the
various routes surveyed or to be surveyed are as
follows One route down Mill Greek which will
connect with the p. w. IL b. X. X. at the present
Delaware Junction and will at that point cross the
T. W. d b. and continue down TO the Chrfstiunn
passing just this side of the road in front of
Rogers house and terminating at what is known
as Pigeon Point, on the Delaware River. Other
lines will probably be surveyed to n terminus on
Chrlstiana. This Is intended for coal road only.
and the passenger cars would probably be brought
in from tho junction over u new road to a depot
at some point near the Gas Works, in lIedgevilic.
The other route surveyed Though the surveys
of neither route are as yet fnished) is down the
Brandywine to point near the present Passen-
ger Railway. and then either down on this side
past the Cemetery and along Fourteenth ST., oil
else across the Brandywine at the third dam and
down the other side. The difficulty in the way
of coming down this side is the low ground ii
that the company is prohibited from running
| through burying grounds. If the road were il
run down the other side ii would in all probability
| locate its coal wharvcs on the river somewhere
| near the place where ii is proposed to run one O
| our streets
In case this route were selected the passenger
| depot might be ont on the other side OF the Gem
etery between Delaware Avenue and the Bran
uyWlne, IN Branuywlnc village, or nj some pOin
| In the city on the p, w. Il b. RR., the cars be
ing brought over the latter road from the June
ton on the other side of the Brandywine.
| Should this route be adopted the new roat
would make direct connection with the proposed
Raritan and Delaware Bay Railroad and that por
\ ton OF its roads between the r., w. " b. X II
and the river would probably become the connect
| ing link between the Il. 4 d. b. Road and thu
two roads now running South from this city.
| We have merely indicated the two genert,
routes by which the road can come in. We, O
course, know nothing as yet as to which will b.
chosen, but think that if the upper route is cho
sen that the road will cross the Brandywne il
the city limits and run down the other side, Will
il the lower is chosen the junction with the P.
W. and b. X. h. will be at the present Delawar
| function

The object being to secure the entire stock
ifof food for animals, It is important to do 1t
when the greatest amount Of nutritivc mat
ter is in the stalk, and before any of it Ia
abstracted from the stalk to ripen the seed.
This result is best secured, by cutting when
the grass is little past full bloom, and just
perceptibly changes its color. Timothy
Should. In NO case, be cut until the blossom
has all fallen off If cut sooner than this
much is lost both in quantity and quality.
Besides If cut younger it is much more diff
fcult to secure in good condition, land ! think
more is lost by cutting too young than by
leaving 1t to become more fully matured.
