RELIGIOUS TIE Episcopal Convocation at
Dover, last week was an interesting occasion.
On Wednesday evening, the Bishop admins
tered the rite OF confirmation to three candi-
dates. Besides the Bishop and DR.. Morsell,
there were present Rev. Messrs. Littel aud
Redles, OF Wilmington, who rendered most
acceptable help to the Rector On Wednes.
day afternoon the Bishop preached in Jack
sons Hall. Camden, for st. Paul s parish, and
the service was especially interesting and i'm
presslve, from the fact that it was the first time
that an Episcopal Bishop had been seen or
heard in that place, and large congregation
was present. At the same place and hour on
Thursday afternoon, there was held Domestic
Missionary meeting, at which Revs. DR.. Nor
sell and Mr.. Littell made most admirable ad
dresses, producing very marked effect upon
the congregation. The Convocation n closed on
Thursday evening with similar missionary
meeting in Christ Church, Dover the Rector
presiding and conducting the service, and ad-
dresses IN reference to the General Convention,
the Home and Foreign Missionary work of the
Episcopal Church, being delivered by Rev.
Messrs. Redles, Littell and Dr. Morsc The
DchUdrcdn says: 1t is believed that a more
successful COnvOcatOn has nos been held in
the Diocese for long time.

The great revival meeting at Union M. E..
Church, near Blackbird, is attracting attention
from all quarters. A number of persons from
this town were there Sunday evening, They
estimate that at least one thousand persons were
there-far more than could gain admttance.
Seekers were all through the dense audience,
and the greatest religious enthusiasm is mani
tested, 1t is now in its tenth week.
Revival meetings commence at Bethel next

THE DclGwdreaa, in its last issue, has two
column leader addressed ITO the People of
Delaware" in which it sympathizingly affects
injured innocence for the people of the State
and their Legislature in passing law in 1864,
levying tax onthe Philadelphia, Wilmington
aud Baltimore Il. r., or any steamboat com
pany engaged in carrying passengers in,
through, upon, over or across any portion Of
this State, or within the territorial limita of
the same. said tax being ten cents for every
passenger transported, and the Railroad Com
psny or Steamboat Company being obliged to
pay over the same to the State Treasurer on
the FIRST day Of every month.
This tax, we believe, has been paid by the
steamboat companies but once, and no attempt
has been made at further collection, because,
as we also believe, the State authorities recog-
nxed the nnconstituhonality of that part of
the Law as applied to taxing transportation of
passengers on water courses. The p, W. &

lower part of the county there are number of
factories of this kind, all doing thriving bust
ness The corn husks are bought from the
farmers for about twelve dollars per ton and
run through threshing machine, by which
they are torn into ribbons and the butts sepa-

that kind, and if it will pay there it will pay

as good facilities; and our farmers would have

TUE OFFICES.-Now that the election is
over the next most important event of polti-
cal character is who shall fill the Offices. This
matter is being pretty thoroughly canvassed
by the politicians of both parties one for the
Government the other for the State. The
Government offices being the most important,
receive the most attention.
For U. s. Collector in place of Mr.. Day We
hear several names mentioned DR.. Jump, Of
Dover, and Mr.. Burton, Of Sussex; Sylvester
Rianhardt, of Wilmington and R. f. Hastings,
of this town, are also applicants Dr. j. seems
to be ahead.
For U. 5. Assessor in place Of Mr.. Dickson

er-there are a number of applicants, but we
suppose j. p. McIear, the former incumbent
will be appointed.
For Postmaster at Wilmington in place Of
Capt. D. NJ. Barr, Lieutenant James Lewis,
WIN. NJ. Pyle, and COL A. H. Grimshaw have
already been mentioned. Samuel Barr is also
spoken Of.
For u. S. Marshal in place of Mr.. Seal,
the names of Lieut.. John Dunn, and James C..
Akin have been mentioned Mr. Akin was
the incumbent under Mr.. LINCOLN.
For U. S. District Attorney in place of ]. B.
Pennington, we have heard no one named, but
we suppose +. G. Bradford will be reappointed

the Republicans are looking after them the
Democrats are looking for State crumbs. We
understand that for the Office of Collector OF
this Hundred, in place Of Mr. SamT Hutchin.

not sure that there are so many, however.
Among the names suggested are w. Edwin

is also in demand. We hear Mr.. Frazier,

MRlack y Guards.

Perhaps nothing so painfully illus
trates the frightful corruption and de-
basement of American manhood as the
army now guarding the South. The
fine display of soldiership in Mexico,
the noble, aspiring and generous esprit
du corps once inculcated at West Point,
the high toned sentiment that rendered
the American officer the beau ideal OF
chivalry and daring, seems to have
utterly persisted in the late niger war,
and the hideous and disgusting spectacle
is presented to the world of American
officers playing guards and lackeys to
uiegers2 1t was horrible to see the
uniform of Jackson, Scott and q
Mcclellan worn by niger servants, but
even this is eclipsed, and now West
Point men ale guards and walters to
nirrers! Heavens and earth ! where is
this unarmed and filthy debasement to
end? Are we like Sodom and Gomor-
rah, destined to be swept from the earth

Dry goods are worshiped in this
world now more than the Lord liz.
Councilling with fear IL the way
towards are made counciling with
hope IL the way heroes are made; coun-
cilling with faith il the way Christians
are made.
. Pleasure il like q hornet--generally
ends with sting. =,
The most dangerous characters in the
world are those who live in the SUBURBS
ov virtew-they are rotten ice.
Lazyness il a good deal like money
the more a man haz ov it, the more he
seems tew want.
There il no such thing az inheriting
yirtew; money and titles and fever sores
kan be inherited.
The yirtews of convent are like hot
house fruits--iender, but tasteless.
Life IL like mountain-after climb
ing up one side and sliding dowa the
other, put up the sled.
When a man proves literary failure,
he generally sets DIP tor a crltIck, and,
like the fox in the fable, who had lost
his brush in trap, kant see nice long
tail without hankering tew bob 1t.
The devil owes most of his successes
tew the fackt that he IL alwus on hand.
Coquettes often beat up the game,
while the Prues bag it.
Thare is only one excuse for impu.
dence and that IL Ignorance.
Modest men, in trieing tew be impu-
dent, alwus git sassy.
Reputashun il like money-the prin-
cipal is often lost by putting it out at
interest
Jealousy IL nothing more than vanity,
for if we love another more than we do
ourself, we shan'tbe jealous.
,Thare il lots ov folks in this world
who. rather than not find emmy fault at
all, wouldn't hesitate tew say tew an
angle worm that hiz tail waz altogether
tew long for the rest ov hiz body.
Thare liz menny who are kut out for
smart men, but who don't pay for making
up.
Envy IL an insult few a mans good
sense; for envy il the pain we feel at the
excellencies ov others.
How menny people thare IL whoze
