remarkable phenomena was observed by our
tclegraphlc friends on Thursday at the respective
Offices of the Western Union and the Delaware
Railroad Co. Between 2 and 4 o'clock, P. NJ,
the atmosphere became surchargcd with clectrici-
ty, presumed to be IN auroral current, by which
the operators were enabled TO perform the won
dcriul feat of working their lines by dispensing
with the use of thcir-at other times, necessary
batteries. The current was as steady and even
as the flow of fifty cups. Its effect gradually
weakened as the rain approached; the first flash
of lightning destroyed its influence, necessitating
u recurrence to the old method Of obtaining u
current During It's continuation messages were
sent, and conversation carried on with great Ia.

The annual ceremony of strewing the graves
of the soldiers who fell in the war for the ULion
with flowers, will take place this year on the both
of this mouth,-the Thirticth, the usual day,
coming on Sunday. This custom is most
beautiful one and the people instnctively recog-
nizc Its propriety and flock to the celebration.
The ceremonies will take place this year, as
usual, in the Soldiers Corner of the Wilmington
aud Brandywine Cemetery, and the services will
be of the most interesting character. The cerc-
mony of strewlug the graves of single soldiers
buried here and there throughout the cemetery
will be performed before the speaking commen.
ccs so that the people will not have to stand an
wait so long ms they then did. The whole affair
will be conducted under the auspices of the three
posts of the Grand Army of the Republic in this
city. We arc requested to solicit IN their behalf
generous contributions Of flowers and the assist
ance of the ladies in tastefully arranging wreaths
and boquets for the occasion. The time and
place for such contributions and services will be
announced hereafter.

HIRGINL1.

The President, on Saturday, issued his
proclamation, directing the Constitution of
Virginia TO be submitted 10 vote, ior re-
jeclion or adoption, on July 9th. The disa-
bling and test oath clauses are to be voted
upon, separately. There is no reasonable
doubt of the adoption of the main portion
by large majority, it being favored by both
the neutrality-suspicious. and Conservatives
which have placed tickets in nomination.
The original State ticket, nominated by
the Democrats, has been withdrawn, and
one headed by Mr.. Walker, put forth by
that wing of the Democracy in favor of talk
ing measures to re-organizc under the Re-
construction laws is the only opposition to
the Republican nominations. 1t is supposed
TO have the support of handful of Con-
scrvstive Republicans, but il is nevertheless
confidently claimed that the regular ticket,
headed by Governor Wells will be able to
defeat the coalition. The canvass will be

VNO InsIlrauce,v

If, at the end of newspaper report of
fire, we read the words, "No Insurance"
our involuntary feeling is that the owner
had neglected to protect his own interests,
and 10 therefore entitled to so much the less
sympathy for his loss. In such case, how
ever, the man himself remains to restore, by
diligence and economy, the property de-
stroyed. How much more clearly is it his
business and domestic duty to make such
provision that, when he dies, the ominous
words, mo Insurance" may not be repeat
ed, as expressive of future want and suffer
ing for those whom he has left behind. So
small is the outlay required,and SO extended
the time of payment, in order to make sure
of support for the widow or the children,
that no man is excusable for ncglecting to
insure his own life. This is brought especi-
ally to mind, at this time, by paragraph In
an exchange, showing what may be done by
persons of the smallest surplus means. In
December last, poor clergyman in Brad
ford Co., Pennsylvania, paid $l0o.25 to the
National Life Insurance Company fol poll
cy of $4,000. We can well suppose that
one hundred dollars, to country clergy
man, was a large sum, raised with difficulty
and we can imagine how easily it might
have been spent for necessaries for the win
ter season, but the result proved that its in
| vcstment in insurance was the most profita-
bic of his life. In March he died, and on the
| first of April the agent of the National Life
paid to his family the $4,000, this being the
| only provision which the deceased had been
able to make for them. Another case in the
history of the same Company is noted. A
laboring man in Franklin, Pa, insured for
1000, and in six weeks thereafter he died,
and the money was paid to his family.
This Company,-the National Life, char
tered by Congress and authorized to trans
act insurance business throughout the United
States and Canada,-is established upon the
Stock Plan, having low rates for cash pay
ment, and avoiding all uncertainties of notes
or dividends, and all consequent or possible
| disappointment as to the amount of money
to be paid to the heirs of the deceased. For
a certain fixed sum of money, 1t guarantees
the payment of Il fixed amount of insurance.
The simplicity of the sy stem has commended
the Company to popular favor, and its suct
cess has bees remarkable. Upon the first o,
May, only nine months after its organizations
IL huu issueu nVe tnousahu polcles, anu mad
its agents well at work through the North
upon the Pacific Coast, and by the expira-
tion of its first year, the entire Southern
States and the Canadian Dominion will also
be supplied with local agents.
The agent of the Natioual Life for this
vicinity has his advertisement in another
column, and will be glad TO furnish any de.
sired information concerning the working oil
this National Company.

"We have Tract Society, with It's head
quarters IN New York, and Its agencies o
collection and distribution in nearly ever,
church in tie land. 1t is American Ia nam,
and scope, is thoroughly organized, collect,
money in vast amounts, and scatters il.
sheets like autumn leaves. The American
Tract Society is devoted to those matters
that affect the interests Of a hereafter; and
this is well.
'But has not the time come for the organ.
lzation of corresponding institution, which
shall have for its object the promotion OF
the Immediate interests Of people in this
world? There seems no reason to the con
trary. Admitting the transccndent import
ance OF those questions that concern the
future welfare OF the race, there are sthcr in
terests which are nearly as sacred and i'm
perative in character. Certainly there is
need of every efficient means for improving
the material condition ofpeople here. Error,
wrong, and suffering abound, and, while we
have no Utopian hopes that they will evsl
be entirely extiipated from the earth, their
partial removal we know to be possible and
practicable. But it is neither from legisla-
tion nor from charity that amclioration must
mainly come. 1t is from that enlightenment
which shall enable the individual to put
forth his own powers to better advantage
and achieve his own improvement. 1t may
be said, with as much truth to-day as it was
said of old, My people are destroyed for
lack of acknowledgement for lack of philan-
thropic schemes, or legislative enaciments,
or charitable bounty, but for lack of that
living knowledge which men can use fer
guidance in the conduct of daily life.
"FCr the attainment of this end, tract
agency is invaluable. Its mode of influence
is legitimate and powerful 1t implies brevity
and pungency Of statement. A great deal
can be said in four pages under pressure,
while the little messengers Of appeal and
instruction find people out in their odd mo-
ments of leisure to read and think The
agency, in fact, needs no vindcation. News
papers do something, but not what is wanted
They have interests of their own to advance
There is either party or sect behind
them, or they cater to ignorance and prcju-
dice to get a sale. The tract may be free
from these suspicious, and received and read
in the best mood to get its benefit. Schools
are good, but at present they stop short OF
their highest end. They are but a prepara-
ton for duties and opportunities which lie
beyond; and nothing would better supple
ment their shorlcomingsa and give to common
schools their best effect, than the wide dis
semination Of tracts, concisely written, au-
thortative in character, and devoted to ap-
piled knowledge. Whether possible scheme
or not, we do not say; but nothing would
be more productive of solid good than
well-organized Humanitarian Tract Society,""
