WHAT IS TIE TROUBLE ?-The rabid radical
Of the press is very bitter on the keen and
genial Mayor of this great city. Why? Did
Oakley ever beat Horace in any little game that
he particularly had his heart on, as Seward
did? Here is the Mayor defending the
interests of the city against a sharp game
in the case Of the Twenty third Street Rail-
road, and 1t Is insinuated that he is only the
creature Of the ring and has corrupt reason
for what he does

The Hudson River Railroad Company has
recently placed twelve Of the Mansell wood
en- car wheels on their drawing-room car.
These wheels cost treble the price of the
ordinary cast-ir0n wheels, but this is regard
ed as of little consequence compared with
the advantages gained by their use. They
ride smoothly, making conversation, read
ing, and even writing, not only possible, but
an easy task on the cars. They are made of
thoroughly seasoned elm or teak, with steel
tires; are very durable, only one accident
having ever occurred to one of them. and
that through the carelessness of a workman.
and will wear, by reason of their elasticity
and durability, over four hundred thousand
miles of railway, while the average use OF
the ordinary iron wheel is but fifty thous-
and miles, after which it is necessary to
break it up.
1t is also asserted that this wheel is SO
constructed that ii is impossible for the tire
to become displaced, and that the wear ia
the track is much less than by the cast wheel
which OF itself would make an important
saving.
The Mansell wheel is used on the Metron.
olitan Underground Railway in Lond on. and
there, where the stoppages and starting of The
trains are very sudden and consequently ex.
tremely trying, no accident has yet occurred
with them.
If this wheel proves to have all the merits
claimed for It, it will, we hear, be generally
adopted on the Hudson River Road. The
increased first cost of these wheels over the
iron wheels should not prevent railroad cor
pora,ions from adopting them If 1t is proved
| by trial that with them human life is made
more safe. Their greater durability and the
saving Of wear and tear of the track will ii
is believed, render these wheels in the enc
much the cheapest. st.-NeW York Post.

The Florence correspondent Of the Lon
don Ncaos describing the funeral service in
that city in memory Of Rossini, tells this
story of a compliment to Henry w. Long
fellow:
The service finished al about one O'Clock.
AS left the church, and while standing on
the flight of steps, before descending into
the Santa Croce Square, my attention was
arrestc by the singu.arly engaging and ill.,
tellectual countenance Of one who had like
wise been present to hear the requiem. A
gentleman perhaps some sixty years of aye,
with siycry locks and beard, accompanied
by lady, youth, and two young girls was
gazing from the topmost step on the crowd
in the square as ii flowed onwards past the
statute of Dante. Whilst watching with Gu
riosity the human stream before him, he was
himself an object of keen, undisguished, yet
respectful interest to party Of young An
go-i girls only few steps OF l
could ovcr-hear one saying to the rest, 81
am sure it must be he; lie is so like tle
prints At length one of the young girls
drew urar TO the lady accompanying ille sill
yer haired stranger. and said, .Pray excuse
the liberty, but is not that Mr.. Longteilow y
ITO he sure it is, was the reply. Oh, am
50 hn!pF have seen him !" was the instant
and sponianeous.eXclama "rhat really
is Il treat; that is worth great deal more
than tlie requiem The young Anglo Ital-
ian then relrcated to rejoin her own party,
but httf remarks had been communicated
bWh Ia the American poet and to the two
girls whom he was holding by the hand,
and viii charming frankness they all came
Forward and spoke II few words Of natural

RELIGIOUS TNpI cs.

The Methodist has reports of the revi-
walls in many OF the NJ L. churches of this
conference. AT Union. Scrvison's, and
Friendship, on Smyrna circuit, Rev. W. B.
Gregg, Pastor, not less. than one hundred
hundred and sixty persons have united with
the church. AT the Still Pond charge, Rev.
ii. $. Thompson pastor, about one hundred
conversions are reported. Elkion, under
Rev. Mr.. Matlack. has also been favored
with n blessed revival. Eighty conversions.
At North East, Rev. Mr.. Poulson has been
holding occasional meetings during the fall
and winter. They report about forty proba-
TONERS received. AT Haltown, Md, good
meeting has been held by the pastor, and
some thirty persons have Joined the church.
On Camden circuit. and at many other
points, meetings are Ia progress The rcvi-
val at Grace chu:ch Wilmington, in pro-
gress for over two months has added over
one hundred converts. At Port Penn,tw
ty-one have united a probation, and Sun
day school has been organized with fifty-two
pupils.
The New York Independent says -
''We received a call few days since, from
William E. Hathaway, editor and publisher
of fthatinteresting AID sprightly paper, The
II lend IF Peace, published in Chicago.
He informs us that the Young Quakerism of
the West is showing great zeal and energy,
and ensrafting upon the original stock a
larger freedom than the denomination has
heretofore exhibited. The young people,
when they become religious, instead of leav-
ing The body, set themselves to work within
il, to give 1t new life. The old cry, ''kccp
in the quiet" is less potent than II used to
he. The fear of ''creaturely activity" and
"wil worship" no longer paralyzes the de-
nomination. Quakers at The West do not
hesitate 10 ''sing in meeting" if the spirit
moves them so to do and they happen to
know how"
The pews in Plymouth Church (Mr.
Becchcrs) were rented at a higher figure last
week than ever before. The rents and pre-
miums nmounledto to an aggregate of $50, 900.
Against the system Of renting seats IN houses
of worship much may he rightfully and i'm
,prcssivc said; but the attacks which have
been made upon Plymouth Church in certain
quarters, Nv if its course in this respect diff
tered, in principle, from that of other
churches, are alike absurd and unjust.

WHAT PETER SHALL DO!
A Letter from Sarah Jane.

Mr.. EDrroR SO am l married; and,
what is more, am married to that same Pc
ter Piper of Pickle Street, who pipes so
mournfully in your paper.
If he chooses you and your readers to be
the umpires of our dispute, albeit he las noi
condescended to consult me in the choice,
/ accept
But before you give decision hear both
sides Of the question.
am an admirer of Miss Dickinson, and
il was her recent admirable lecture which,
as Peter says, confirmed me in my present
determination, which is not so much to sen
ter upon "a struggle for life, :" as to continue
the struggle long since entered upon in a
more reasonable and intelligent manner
Peter says this determination of mine is to
leave my home sand so forth into the wide,
wide world, conquering and to conquer"
Well, will accept this statement, but before
l am done I think my readers, and judges,
will agree with me that this is rather a
grandiloquent way of stating very simple
and practical resolution.
There are various other statements in his
letter which, though not absolutely false,
would be much more true were they stated
in more moderate language.
But then Peter is poetic as his name indi-
Gates.
l shall not enter with Peter into discus
sion of what may have beea the joys and
sorrows Of his bachelor days. Suffice it to
say that he was anxious enough that should
assist him in bringing them to close.
dismiss at once all his sneering, and
sometimes coarse, illusions to the possibility
of my choosing this or that occupation. l
fully recognize the Inconvenience of a mar
ried woman with a home and children en-
tering store or teaching school and un-
less there is dire necessity in the case, (and
she is unable to do as hundreds of married
women do,-and not few in this city,
bring such occupation to their homes where
they can give the necessary amount Of aiten-
tion to both,) l suppose no intelligent
married woman would consider the matter

Of on the practical experiences of every.
day life, for their premises to argue from.
Any mother fit to be mother will see
that her children are properly cared for.
Does any one suppose that no rich women
are fit to he mothers? Does any one know
of single rich mans wife who is not re-
lieved of the birdensome part of the care Of
children, which is not in itself pleasure to
~ woman, but which the ordinary poor
ms wife is bound to take on herself.
A mothers instincts and affections may,
in nine cases out of ten, be relied on to cause
her to give her children all the care they
need, without adding the spur of harsh me-
cessity; and as to tho tenth woman, nothing
will make her do her duty. Where Gods
expedient fails it is not likely any of mans
invention will succeed.
But even poor mems wives ofltimes leave
their children in the care of hired people
utterly unframed for taking care of them.
Have not l done it every market morning
for years, and have / not reluctantly done
the same many time in the evening 10 at
tend IL party, n concer; or lecture, at the
request oi this same Peter, who now is so
fearful that somebody else's children will
be neglected?
II had done az now propose to do,
whenever able, during the ten years of our
married life and now could give my children
what they need, should probably have done
my duty by them more wisely than have
done.
Peter hns failed TO lay before you single
convincing reason why l should not go to
work, while the only objection he ever urged
to me were that he was unwilling to shave
a tin sign on the door" or to have other men
say he is unable to support his wife.
Pride and prejudice. Nothing else. And
for these am to throw away ten more years
of my life as consumers and not a producer,
and these the ten years during which shall
probably be better able to work than any
others of my existence. say no.
And the question here properly arises
what is my experience worth to other
women.
If they are trained to the performance of
any remunerative labor, my experience may
be theirs.
II they are not, they then must learn
something which they eau do at home, or
without leaving home entirely, or else drag
on as bes. they can. They win probably do
the latter, but let them not sneer at those

The Hamilton Canada Wcs) Times of the eth

is at the Western extremity of Luke Ontario, on
the Grand Trunk Railroad, about fifty miles
Northwest from Niagara Falls-
"The party giving the name as Joseph Woods,
who was arrested here on the 2sth ult. on SUI pi-
cion of being the murderer Smith, for whom Il
large reward is offered turns out to be a rascal of
another dye, and given to more respectable and
fashionable order of crime than foul murder. As
before mentioned, he gave contradictory accounts
of his travels for the past two or three months,
which circumstance strengthened The suspicious
of the police authorities here that il he was not
the culprlt for whom he was arrested, he must be
some other criminal who had fed from the Uni
ted States to escape the penalty Of justice, and
hence his detention until his identity could be
satisfactorily determined. Yesterday he qlies-
toned the Chief OF Police concerning the various
crimes which would render one liable to eXtradi-
tion under the treaty, and seemed to gain infor-

This ancient and highly respectable village is
ngitnted. 1t proposes to do something and is
holding meetings to see what 10 do.
Situated on high ground only separated from
the city of Wilmington by the river Brandywine
"a stream already spanned by two bridges be-
sides the railroad brdge-thc property on that
side is worth less than fifth as much as on this
side, and this too Notwithstanding the fact that
much of the firm high ground on the North side
of the Brandywine is better adapted in many re-
sldc. side ' ''''-' 'H'D 'A' -" s'0"Hu on 'liS
There is no present authority, however, to open
streets through this ground or TO regulate such
opening, and whatever advantages il maypossess
must remain undeveloped. Again the proximity
of the village to the thickly settled portions of
the city and the fact that 1t is beyond the juris-
dlcton of the city police, renders it convenient
place where rowdies may have free fight or
high timc generally, without let or hindrance.
These and other reasons have produced strong
desire on the part of many Of the citizens for
change OF some kind but those favoring change
are not agreed as to what it shall be. There are
three parties In the village, as follows -
Those opposing any change.
Those favorng annexation to the city.
Those favorlng the erection of the village and
school district into borough.
The first have these arguments: "Don't iu-
crease the taxes, and leave well enough alone"
The friends OF n borough scheme also urge that
10 enter the city will make tie taxes higher than
necessary, while all the advantages can be had
by creating borough which shall lay ont streets,
appoint police force etc., and not be burdened
hya proportionatc share OF Wilmington's city
debt.
Theannoxaiionists answer that by the time the
borough builds hall for itself and organizes

streets, its debt and its faxes will be equal In pro-
