The STATE CAMPAIGN.--The Republicans
throughout the State are greatly encouraged
at the prospect for the State ticket In New
Castle county Ceursey and -Heald meetings
have been or will be held in every town and
village, and there is vim and earnestness
about them that has not been witnessed for
at least two campaigns, and which only hope
of success would produce The "li,te ecc-
ton" was an agreeable surprise to the Repub-
licanss and hasNnade assurance doubly sure"
While they generally loose the inspectors cleo
tion they usually win in the county election.
But this year they had majority of forty four
throughout the county, and expect to elect
their ticket next Tuesday By from 500 to 800
majority. The cOrruptions of the Salisbury
Ring have also opened the eyes Of the Demo
Gratis and discouraged them considerably.
In this county the cattse is greatly strength
ened since the nomination, and the dissatislac
tion then produced has subsided. While many
condemned the mastering spirit evinced by a
majority of the Convention, they recognize the
ability and integrity of the nominees, and have
made to see the importance of electing
tuem over JHe OaulSDuTy CanClUateSI DOtn
Mr.. Ponder and Mr.. Biggs are members Of the
Salisbury Ring and were brought forward
through that agency. The Republicans have
therefore concluded that if leading Democrats
cannot go with this shameless Ring, it Was
more than ever their duty to oppose it and put
honest men in Office If possible. They are ac
cordngly striving to secure the election o
the State ticket
In Sussex the canvass is also active and the
most encouraging reports are received there
from. The Independent" movement which
has knocked the bottom out of the Ring in thi
county is having a silent but potent influence
in that. In short, by an earnest effort, wei
directed, the State ticket can be elected.

ADJUSTMENTS The circus last week, al
though presenting poor appearance in the
street, was rather fair nteItainment of
the kind The troupe was riled at the Times,
and advertised us in the ring, but unfortunate
ly not many were present to hear the adver-
tisement read.
The Bel Ringers, who exhibited the same
night as the circus, took the crowd. The per-
formance was something like Hamlet with
Hamlet left out there was not much bell
music, and what there Was was not extra. The
performers were too scarce. The singing was
fine, especially the quartetts. The contralto
and bass voices We're of superior merit.

Circuit Court, III Wilmington, on Wednes day
and Thursday last. The suit is brought by
MIR. MinOt, OF Boston, on behalf Of the Com
pany, who asks tOrau injunction restraining the
State from collecting the tax levied on the
shares Of this corporation. The tax, it seems
is not laid on the corporation for the property
it holds in the State, but on its whole capital,
much the greater part of which fs invested IN
the 5 atcs OF Penna. and Maryland. 1t is on
this ground that it is resisted. The case was
argued all day Wednesday and Thursday, but
the decision Of the Court will not be rendered
until Judge Strong gets through his duties al

IMPORTATION OF PRIZE CATTLE
The Liverpool Mercury of the End
instant has the following particulars
of the cattle just brought out by the
steamer "North American" for Mr..
Cochrane of Compton:
"The steamer North American be-
longing to the Allan line, which leaves
the Mersey this day for Canada, will
convey from our shores one Of the larg-
est and most valuable collections of
agricultural stock ever exported by
one person. The enterprising gentle
man who is thus engaged in the work
of improving the breed of cattle in
Canada is Mr.. NJ. Ell. Cochrane OF
Compton and Montreal, Canada, who
for some months past has been col
lecting from the most famous herds
of the United Kingdom the very best
stock he could procure, without re-
gard to cost. The animals comprise
80 shorthorn cows and heifers, and
one bull; two pure Alderney cows;
"a Cotswold sheep, including the
| prize pen at the late Royal Agricul-
| tural Show at Oxford; 10 prize pigs
of the Berkshire and small white
breeds; an entire cart horse, and
splendid hunting mare, the total cost
of which has been little short OF
$4,000. The value of the short horn
stock may be judged from the fact
that two of the heifers cost 92,50O, a
six-year-old cow 1900 guineas, and
some of the other stock in the same
proportion. Every arrangement which
can secure the safe transport OF the
animals has been made on board the
steamer; and it is to be hoped that
the spirited enterprise will be crowned
with success, and that Mr.. Cochrane
will safely land his valuable herd at
j Montreal"

ALCOHOL Is FoOD.-AlcohoI fattens;
whiskey is a good tonic; bitters aid
digestion. These are statements made
every day with considerable conf
dence, and in a manner we'll calculat-
ed to impose on certain class of
minds hence, it is we'll that tho friends
of true temperance should have at
hand the weapons of their warfare
against the liquor traffic.
1t alcohol is food, why not give it
to our horses? ?
If liquor fattens, why not give it to
our beef cattle, our turkeys and our
pigs; good dram of it night and
morning?
If whiskey is a good tonic, that is,
gives a good appetite, why is it that
so many whiskey-drinkers, the men
who are always full and never empty,
eat so little; and on the contrary al
most live on whiskey? Give them
plenty of whiskey, and they want
nothing else but leisure to drink it.
If"bitters" aid digestion, why is it
that those who take them all the time
are never well?
But suppose that in some cases
spirits do fatten, it is a watery tat
gives no strength, but increases the
inability to work, and the suscepti
bility to all prevalent diseases. In
cholera and all epidemics the liquor
drinkers are the first to die.
If liquor fattens, why is it that We
see so many spindle shanked drunk
ards? Whiskey drinkers are otter
long, lank and lean, with so little flesf
on their bones that the skin seems
almost to cling to them, and so totter
ing are they in their step that thu
wind is ready to blow them away a
any moment, and SO shaky do the,
: become in the end, that it require
; all the strength and steadiness of botI

'Look at the purse! Didn't you
see that name e?" And as the man
spoke he showed her a name worked
in gold thread, but which she had not
detected. But she read itnow-George
Munson.
Then she looked into the time worn
face, and gradually the features of
one she had loved in years long gone
were revealed to her. 1t was her
brother-her own brother George.
Presently Jareb Gropp saw his wife
in the old mans arms, and with one
bound he reached the floor.
"There," he cried, "now seel Sup
posin' I'd taken that gold. If l had,
we'd never have known George Nun
son. l tell ye there's always sun
beam sure to fall upon a good action.
George, how dye do? Amt l glad
now that we didn't touch the gold :?
How could | ever look my wife's
brother in the face Of it? How dye
do-how dye D"
The last half of this speech had
been made with the old mans hand
in his hand, for even then the thought
had not worked itself into Jarebs
mind that any pecuniary good was to
grow out Of this.
But it was indeed Heppy's own
brother, and one of the chief objects
he had in view, when he set out on his
travels, was to find his sister, if pos
sible. He had forgotten her hus-
bands name, having heard it but once
in India, aud then only casually in
conversation with a man who had
just come there. The old man was
rich; and now he had found the only
living relative he had on earth, he re-
solved to settle down with her.
Years passed happily in that house
hold. for as Uncle George had sud
denly become thawed out from the ice
of misanthropy and lonesomeness,
and as Jareb hal full as suddenly
been lifted up from the dark depths
Of poverty and want, they found them
selves moved by a spirit Of joy and
gratitude that wouldn't be cured.

remembering, a tide of recollections
rushed over her, and she sat down in
the low-backed chair, aud laid her
head down upon the pine-table just as
she had done that evening more than
seven years before.
Sitting there buried in thought, she
did not hear the footsteps that cross
ed the threshold-that paused at the
door and then came to her, while a
voice said:
"Miss Burnett, l am going away
Will you bid me good bye ?"
She looked up with little cry-to
meet a pair of clear hazel eyes, to see
before her a bright, handsome face,
and heavy waves of chestnut hair.
"You are really here, Mr.. Gold
rick could almost believe that the
old days had come back again"
"You used to call me Scott then" ;"
he said Significantly, coming round
and kneeling on one knee beside her
chair. "You are not pale now, so l
shall not sprinkle your face with wa
ter" glancing at the empty cup stand
ing upon the table, "but | should like
to have your head on my shoulder
She made a movement to rise, but
he detained her.
Don't be offended, Olive" he said
earnestly. II made confession of my
sins that night, let me make another
confession now. [ think | began to
love you that evening, but | was a
boy; l know now that | love you
Your face has always been before me
the sweetest and finest in the world.
You sent me away from you then
Don't be 50 cruel again. | want to
stay with you always, Olive. want
to be your husband" l."
For answer, she put up her hand
and drew his head down upon her
shoulder. And the brown walls must
have opened eyes of astonishment, if
eyes they had, to see Scott GoldricE
kissing the bIushing little woman
You see when man falls in love for
the first time at twenty-seven, he is
apt to be desperately in earnest.

light thev locked the door of the old

GEOLOGY AND THE BIBLE.-Prof
James D. Dana, of Yale College, the
eminent geologist, in a letter publish
cd in the Interior, says:
"AIl gcologists believe that time is
long, very long, and Sir William
Thompson, while combating the
Darwinians, still admits the length to
have been many millions of years. 1t
is only a dispute between many mil
lions and many hundreds of millions !;
and it matters little to the Christian
/ geologist, or the believer in the Bible,
how the question is settled. The
relations of geological discovery to
the first chapter Of Genesis remains
the same "a chapter which l believe
to be true in all its grand announce
ment5.
There is no question, first, that
geological time has been ofvast length
second, that there is an historical
order in the rocks Of the globe, and
that the process Of the worlds crea.
tion may be, to a large extent. read
in the rocks; and third, that there
has been a system Of progress in the
earth's living species from the simpler
forms of earlier time to man. But
while adopting these conclusions; in
common with all geologists, | have nc
faith in the Darwinian scheme of de
irving man through a gradual develop
ment upward from the monkey, or 0.
evolving system Of life through Nat
ural Selection Ideplore the misuse
| Of science in the support of material
/ istic views, not uncommon among
those who adopt the Darwinian by
pothesis. At the same time | grieve
for the sake of the Bible and religion
that the discussions relating to scien
tific views and men should be so Otter
interspersed with abusive epithets, AM
so often presented by those who ar,
