70 At the cor. of Sd & Orange sts., in
the City of Wilmington Del, there is an
establishment from which issues weekly
thousands of pounds of an article which to
every housewife is like "good news from a
far country That establishment belongs
to Moore & Bro;-that article is IFuming-
ton CITY Soap"
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1869-09-11

the route there proposed leaves all that
section of country lying between the line
from Chestcrtown to Rock Hall in Kent
county and the p. W. & b. Railroad in
Cecil county in its present condition, as far
us facilities connecting it with Baltimore
are concerned, which is Il very large part
of the most productive region of the East
ern Shore. If communication by steam
boat between the Eastern Shore and the
city of Baltimore is all that is necessary to
draw trade and travel from that section to
the city, Baltimore would be without 4
rival for the facilities between tie two
points by steamers is not surpassed in any
part of the country. But in this respect
we know that one railroad direct to Phila-
delphia with branches that are being thrown
out from it, is more than a match for all
the rivers and steamboats, that vainly strive
to carry the trade of the Shore to Balti
more. The above proposed route would
only add another steamboat line to the
merous ones which now ply between the
Eastern Shore and Baltimore in the summer
months, and would utterly fail, if carried
out, for the reasons here stated, to have
any appreciate influence on the trade or
travel between the two points; but if the
iron track were extended, making con-
tinous and unbroken rail to Elkton, thence
by the p. w. & B. Railroad to Baltimore,
then the latter city would have railroad
facilities with the Eastern Shore equal to
those now enjoyed by Philadelphia, in adj
dition to her present advantages of water
communication. Baltimore city may as
well make up her mind to this at once, or
abandon this periodical decision about sue
cessfully competing with Philadelphia for
the trade of the Eastern Shore. No ANAL
gam route of rail and water will ever COM
pete successfully with a continuous rail-

AT the door we take our farewelIs of
children going out into life, with many
tears, and many exhortations, and some
fears, and many hopes. AT the door we
take leave of departing friends, who
have cheered US for a while, and return
to their several spheres OF duty. At the
door We bid farewell TO the guests who
have honored our dwelling. There, too,
the dead seem separated from us forever.
30 long as their forms lay silently with
in, they seemed yet ours, though the eye
saw nothing, and the ear heard nothing,
and the lip spoke nothing; bn, when
once their feet had been borne through
the door, they were gone out forever,
and the place that knew them shall
know them no more. r.rI.
'At the door, too, we greet the return
ing children, and meet and welcome
the much priced friends and guests.-
What sweet surprises, have seized us
there, as some sweet face, unexpected,
dawned through the door like star
shining through the darkness! AT the
door We stand waiting for the mess
enger. The child is sick, and hastening
onward. VIZ lie come? viii he come
quickly?

THE KINGDOM OF HOME.
Dark is the night, and fitful and drearly
Rushes the wind like the waves OF the sea;
Little care 1, as here sing cheerily
Wife at my side and my baby on knee:
King, King, crown me the King;
Home is the Kingdom and Love is the King!
Flashes the freight upon the dear faces,
Dearer and dearer as onwardwe go, ..
Forces the shadow behind u.s. and places
Brightness around us with warmth in the glow
King, King, crown me the King:
Home is the Kingdom and Love is the King!
Flashes the lovelight, increasing the glory,
Beaming from bright eyes with warmth Of
the soul,
Telling of trust and content the sweet story,
Lifting the shadows that over roll.
King, King, crown me the King:
Home is the Kingdom and Love is the Kingi
Richer than miser with perishing treasure
Served with service no conquest could bring;
Happy with fortune that words could not meas
urc
Light-hearted on the hearthstone can sing
King, King, crown me the King:
Home is the Kingdom and love is the King!

TOBACCO AND RUM MoNEY.-A hard
working man, returning rom his days
labor, with fiOwer-pot containing q
brilliant fuschia under his arm, was met
by fellow workman with a "Good.
day." but who, at the same time, made
some light remark about this propensi-
ty. "They don't eat or drink, bless 'em,n
was the reply of the other, "and it does
me and my wife good to look at 'em."
He made no further remark as his
neighbor replaced his short black pipe
in his mouth, and passed on; but we in
wardly said that this was portion of
his rum and tobacco money. He had
several beautiful plants and choice
chromos in his house; and he knew that
his love of the beautiful cost him far less
than his neighbours love of tobacco.
Then his gain was much the greatest.
The smoker would gain hot, dry
mouth, foul breath, yellow teeth, sal
lew skin, full eyes, if he had not drink.
The other would gain the sweet breath
of the flower, and the cheering presence
of the picture; and gladden. his wife and
children by bringing them such beauti-
full things instead of being wished out of
doors with his nasty tobacco smoke and
disgusting spittle. He is not the richest
who makes the most money; but he who
makes what he has produce the most
happiness, and cater to the most refined
delicate tastes.

m.rmons versu. the Government.

Msrmons versus the Government.
A party of Chicago tourists, in Salt
Lake City, called on Brigham Young,
and the following is report of the in
terview:
The Prophet, in behalf of himself and
disciples, briefly welcomed the parry,
spoke warmly of the aid the Mormons
had given in building the railroad, and
said their aim was to press on diligent-
aly to perform the part allotted to them
in the drama of life, having ever in view
9he rights of man and social independ-
ence.
Col. Bowen then introduced the gen.
tlemen of the party, and a general con-
versation ensued, lasting an hour.
As Senator Trumbull was bidding
adieu to Mr.. Young, the latter remark
ed, that on returning to Congress he
might hear of some persons being but
out of the territory, and if done he
might be sure it would be for Just and
good reasons. If such federal officials
are sent here as sometimes have come,
they will be guilty. and in an orderly
way put out of Utah for good cause.
Senator Trumbull-Before you take
any step of that kind, allow me to re-
ances to President Grant. He is Just
man, intending to dojusice to all; but he
will not permit violation of Jaw to go
unpunished. 1t will net be safe to mo-
lest public officers in the discharge of
their duties. Ase
Brigham Young-What more will he
do for us than Johnson did? Gen. Grant
has removed the only officer here who
was a Mormon, and for no reason save
that he was Mormon. The United
States Judges who were here some time
ago acted badly. 1 told them what I
thought of them. and they left.
Senator Trumbull-You will promise
obedience to the Constitution and the
laws of the Union?

A Boston Monster,

A parallel to the Siamese Twins is
now on exhibition in Boston, in the
shape of two girls united by a ligament
at the lower part of the back. A phys
ician of the highest standing in that
city, who has examined them and in
vestigated their history, says that like
the Siamese they are intelligent, cheer
full and somewhat accomplished sing
ing, in two parts, very pleasantly, and
waltzing as well as many girls of their
age. One may be asleep while the
other is talking with those about her.
Hunger and thirst, however are felt
simultaneously, as are their other natur-
al wants and in other respects they are
a. one womau. One of them being
stronger than the other used formerly
TO raise her sister from the floor and
walk Off with her; but of late she has
not done this, as the effort was rather
too great. Their positions is not strict
ly back to back, but rather towards one
side and they can walk with two legs
upon that side, whilst they hold up the
two others. Below the union each feels
distinctly when the lower limbs of the
other are touched, but not so distinctly
as when their own are; but neither can
move the others limbs. Their health Is
perfect, and generally has been quite
good. Once they had the fever and ague,
and they had the chills simultaneously,
and also the fever. One may have a
slight headache, but IL at all severe 1t is
felt by both.

FAIR PLAY.-Children from very inn
portant habits at their play. Their char
acter comes out. People see what kind
of children they are. If they are greedy,
they show it in their sports. Cheaters
will always cheat in the play ground. 1t
is therefore important for boys and girls
to play in the right manner. Honesty
at play is the foundation of honesty in
business. If you will tell lies about
marbles, you can tell lies about money;
if you cheat at marbles you will perhaps
forge at the bank. If you are dishonor-
able in your plays, you will probably be
disgraced in your merchandise. Fair
play is the same as just play, true play.
Fairness in play is the same rs fairness
in bargain. 1t makes no difference
whether it is marbles, balls, tops, or
money; If you are unfair you are unjust
Avoid it then, as you would any filthy
thing.

THE time made by Mr.. Benefits
yacht, the Dauntless, from New York to
Queenstown in twelve days, seventeen
hours and six minutes, is unprecedent-
ed. In 1866 the Henrietta, owned by
the same owner and sailed by the same
captain as the Dauntless, crossed the
ocean frem New York to Cowes in thir-
teen days, fours hours and % minutes,
making the fastest time, sailing, ever
yachts Fleetwing and Vesta; but the
run of the Dauntless, although taking q
more northerly course, puts that Of the
Henrietta in the shade.

SHOULD DRUNKARDs MARRY?-The
prevailing nstion is that they should not
be divorced, though they are the torment
of their wives and their children all
their miserable lives. Waldeck, Ger
man town, has given public notice that
no license to marry will hereafter be
granted to any individual who is ad-
dicted to drunkenness; or, if having
been so, he must exhibit full proofs that
he is no longer slave to this vice. The
same government has also directed that
every report shall distinctly state wheth-
er either of the parties desirous Of enter
ing into matrimonial connection is ad-
dicted to intemperance or otherwise.

ical parties, have drawn up report on
the subject, which will be submitted to

turns from magistrates, ceroners, clergy,
and others, the signers of the report
recommend two classes of remedies
non-legislative and legislative. Among
the former are the payment of wages on
Fridays, better education, and more
comfortable dwellings for the working
classes. Among the legislative remedies
which are proposed, we find the closing
of public houses on Sundays, and their
earlier closing on week days.
