The Greatness of Little People.


IT is probably known to most people that
there is situated on the western shore of Della
ware bay a narrow strip of land which once
upon time was embraced within the limits
OF the domains of the Proprietary of Pennsyl-
Vania. But by some freak of our fOrefathers,
this narrow strip of territory was finally
organized into a separate province, and in due
course of time it became one of the sovereign
States of the Union. In vulgar parlance, as
well as in official documents, it is known as
the State of Delaware; but the aborigines take
Excessive pride in styling 1t the Diamond
State. These aborigiDes, who, in 1860, num-
bered but 112, 2l6, consider themselves a pecu-
liar people, in the essenti9l Scripture sense of
the term, and as being p4ore highly favored by
Heaven than are most of the communities of
earth. In one resrect they certainly are, for
their beggarly one hundred thousand have an
equal representation in the Senate of the
United States with the three millions and 8
half OF people who are so unfortunate as to
IWell In the State upon their northern border.
Impressed with lively sense of their own
hsteric Importance, the Delawarians affect
he prOfOundest admiration for the past. In
ruth, they may be accounted the most emil
nently conservative race upon the continent.
In the year 1875, for example, the members of
the State Legislature were duly apportioned
among the three counties into which their
magnificent domain has been divided from
lime immemOrial, and this apportionment is
still in force, One.third of the present pOpula-
lion, as consequence, having as great a voice
An the cOunsels Of the Commonwealth as all
the rest put together. To suggest modiica-
Zion OF the system is to be guilty of treason
asainst the Diamond sovereignty. But this is
not the only fashion in which they hug the
past to their bosOms. On Saturday morning,
nve men were placed in the pillOry at
New Castle, and on the afternoon
VI the same day, ten more, six
them being black and the remainder white,
were tortured with the lash. This highly
SuHying process was witnessed by large CON
sOurSe OF the abOrigines, men and women,
GOys and girls, mingling in the throng. The
SNNuen were in great glee, and rent with
