quick answer.

The envy that grudges the success
for which it lacks tho courage to con-

Marshal Lefevre One Of his friends
expressing the most unboundcd admi-

you shall have all that possess at
much cheaper rate than myself paid
for it; step into the court yard. You
shall let me fire twenty musket shots
at You at the distance of thirty PAGES,
and ifI fail to bring you down, all that
l have is yours. What, you refuse"
said the Marshal, seeing that his friend
demurred. "Know that before / reach

to stand more than a thousand musket

The Marriage OEEBIOOd Relations

Tho commissioners of the kentucky

ing of feeble minded children, at
Frankfort, have just made their annu-
al report TO the Legislature. These
commissioners are persons thoroughly
competent to judge Of the matter
which they consider, being the Prin-
cipols of tho asylums for Deaf Mutes
and tho Blind and the Superintcndents
of the Eastern hospital for the Insane,
at Lexington. Against the marriage
of blood relations, which is much more
frequent in kentucky than north of
the Ohio river, they protest in the fol-
lowing emphatic terms:
A subject ofvcry great social impor-
tanco is brought incidentally to notice
in the report; the intermarriago Of

In comparing the statement of the public debt
nude October LIST, with that Of September, we
find that the 6 per cent. 5-2e bonds have increased
500, $50, $50, while of zoos there has been de-
crease of s3j,296,925.
The debt bearing no interest has decreased 81
122, $1,000.
The continued stringency in the money market
prevents the banks from disseminating oil the
good commercial paper offered. Many inquiries
are being made for money on bond and mortgage,
on city and country property, but little is offered
and that at II per cent. bonds. No city In tho
United States suffers more from State laws, than
does Wilmington from the usury laws Of Della

this city, are loaned in Philadelphia and other

laws OF Delaware? 1t is now considered by all
intelligent men that these laws have failed in their
aim that they do not protect the borrower; that
they induce those who have money to loan to
eyade the laws by many schemes and that trade
prospers best when least interfered with by Legis-

WAwAsLr AND ATI.As.-We understand that a
game will be shortly arranged to take place be-
tween these two clubs at Delaware City. The
Wawasct club is anxious to have the series play
ed as soon as possible, and we presume the Atlas
boys are equally willing. We believe the Wawa-
set have proposed next Thursday but we think
the Atlas plays the Excelsior on that day.
THE DIAMOND STATE CLuB held n meeting Mon
day evening. The club evinces considerable spirit,
and though the nine is greatly weakened by the
loss of Gibney, they do not propose to immedi-
atcy give up the ghost. We learn that McCabe
will take Gibncy's place as catcher. series OF
games will be played in short time between this
club and the Atlas club.
CHENEY is playing quite successfully with the
Nationals at Washington, and is achieving quite
reputation as batter, which by the way was
considered his weakest point here He plays
third base we believe, and has already become
popular with all the "boys." That is natural
however, for "Gib," as he gets called, glidcs as
naturally into popularity as duck docs into
water.
WAwAsET rs. ATLAs.--The game between thes,
two clubs Thursday afternoon was very excitin.
one, and though very long, considering the mum
Der of innings played, the intense interest of thu
spectators never tagged until its close, on the 7tl
inning, on account of darkness. One reason th
game was so protiactcd was the large amount o
time spent in play between the pitchers and base
in attempts to catch men playing off 1t has al
ways seemed to us that this practice merely pro
tracts the game for nothing The play yesterda
of both clubs was fine, and, as will be seen by til
following score, the clubs were just evenly match

A PLEA FOR EARLY MARRIAaEs.-The
Rev. Henry Morgan has been lecturing *
Boston upon 6 Young Men and EARLY Mar
riages." He said that nature, history, and
revelation declare, sit is not good that man
should he alone" He needs help meet-a
wife is the balance wheel, the regulator, the
guardian angel of husbands trust, conf
dcnce and prosperity. Politically, socially,
morally and spiritually, man requires wife,
Man needs home. The Romans gave
bachelors no legacies. Corinth denied them
sepulcher. Athenians scourged them. In
Platos commonwealth, at the age of thirty
five they were fined.
Man is but half man without wife. In
all your getting, get wife, and never rest
from getting till you get married. Better
live in an attic under the lallowed influence
of u wife, than revel in palace of dissipa-
ton. Man needs home. Marriage is the
legitimate basis Of genuine home Look
at the deplorable condition of the young men
Of this city without homes. Boarding houses
have no eleyating society of women, no
home influences, no place OF mental or
moral improvement, no altar of prayer, no
angel of love. In Philadelphia there are
more houses in proportion to the population
than in Boston; hence Boston has an un-
usual contest in the battle of morals.

OUR LETTER BOX.

That the so-calcd Democratic party of Dela-
ware is made up of old Federas and renegade
Wings, who always opposed the Democracy of
Thomas Jefferson.
That the present Democracy of our country
are the men who inaugurated rebellion and at
tempted to establish Southern, or Slave Con-
fcderacy.
That they openly avowed that 6 the poor man,
whether white or black, should be sidse.''
That capital should own the labor OF the coun-
try.
That the party calling themselves Democrats
have claim TO that title, infer from the fact
that they oppose tariff for the protection of the
labor of the country.
That they deny to the negro his civil end po-
litical rights, always accorded to him by the true
Democracy. They say :" he has no rights which
the white man is bound TO respect"
That our country was out of debt only when
the labor OF the country was fully. protected by
the true Democracy.
That the labor Of the white man of the North
ern and Eastern States was paralyzed at the bid
| ding Of the tdfse, or slave Democracy OF the
South, aided by Northern Dough-faces, who called
themselves Democrats only to accomplish their
foul purpose to support human bondage.
Working man reflect on these things. Search
history and you will find every charge here set
forth recorded with an iron pen never to be eff
| faced.
The so-called democrats pirate to us of the
burden of the public debt that il is grinding the
poor man as the neither mill stone, but don't say

Ignorance to deceive. you. They proclaim thai

proof if he can. A. p. OsMoND.
