EDKToN AFFAIRs.-T Cecil Wing will
make its appearance to-day, enlarged to
eight columns to page.
The Wing complains that +" the drunk
en- rowdyism of Elkton is becoming dis
gusting, beyond all endurance"
This is bad for Elkton, which was for
merly building up for itself character for
order, sobriety, and responsibility. The
Whig recently told us (by way of little
mild reproof of Warwick and Middletown
for horse-racing) that the track at Elkton
had been broken up, and that the Elkton
"sports" had gone to work. We were
glad to hear of the amendment. But, a
week or two later it announced that there
were quite number of loafers in that
town, some Of whom were subsisting 60 on
their mothers soap-suds." Rather an odd
diet; even bran bread and strict vegeta-
BILE regimen would be preferable, we should
say. But, there is no accounting for
tastes, it is said. We once knew young
man who took to eating fuller's earth,
which he munched by the pocket full; and
a negro girl who would eat handful after
handful of sand and dirt scooped up out
Of the street. but we never before heard OF
any one subsisting upon soap-suds. We'll
we live and learn. Ifsnails, slugs, worms,
birds-nests, lizards, rats and mice, and
horse and mule-beef, constitute portion
of the food Of man, why should not soap.
suds But tell us, Mr.. Ewing, do tn,
/ Elkton loafers thrive on it?

upwards of $500 each share, making a

Saturday last. In its brief review of State
papers, it found the Dclararean "unusu-
ally dulf;;" the Clayton Herald "some-
what stale. il not more fat than usual !"
while the Middletot0n Transcript amounts
to not great deal in any direction" and
+" has less local news than usual" Now
the Transcript had on that day, over seven
columns of local reading; about as much
as the Commercial had of local and gener-
el put together. 1t contained DIR. Nc
Cabe's able address on the occasion of lay
ing the corner stone of the Town Hall, and
full account of the interesting masonic
ceremonies, in which many citizens Of
Wilmington participated; but all this, in
the Commercials estimation, amounts
to not great deal in any direction. y
Rather fastidious. The Commercial must
have been "dull' itself, and altogether
nonappreciative on that occasion owing,
perhaps, to the hot and sweltering day,
which caused its intellect, as we'll as its
physical energies to wilt and flag We
are unwilling to ascribe its wholesale dis.
paragement of its contemporaries to any
other cause.
