THE CAPITOL AND ITS APPROACHES.
Editor Of Erening Sar:-Will you have the
in your widely circulated journal
Now that "the Arenne" Is beng put In order,
would it not be well to consider the propriety OF
improving the approachesto the Capitol from
the western entrance? At present they are faulty,
distrt sing to those who have occasion frequent
ly 10 visit the Capitol on business and are not in
UNI On with the grandeur OF that great temple OF
liberty. When the structure was designed il
was expected perhaps that the city would grow
on the eastern side, but such has not proved the
case, and now for one that enters on the east
thousands enter On the west side. The entrance
and passages are TOO small, the ascent is too
steep, the ascent should he an easy and gradual
grade, and should be of dimensions equal to the
main entrance OF that the north and south
wings, or OF the southern entrance TO the Treas
nry building. What beautiful effect such an
improvement would have from the Avenue IL Is
easy to imagine. hope the subject will not be
lost sight OF and that ii may be brought before
Congress in the coming session. Each member
has an interest in it az he has to suffer the in
convenience Of the steep ascent OF the present
condition.

found time to bestow some attention upon the
subject of public baths" Ample pro-
vision is soon to be made for the construc-
ton of a large number. So it is said The
first of June is here, however, and not
one bath accommodation" has been erected
yet. 1t is all very well to invite the multitude
to wash and be clean; but since we do not live
in primitive times, bathing in public, so that
people can be seen from house-tops, is out of
date. In connection with this subject, might
mention the adventures of a young man who,
without any money had taste for luxuries.
He went to a Russian-bath establishment, msr-
toned that he was a reporter for the EUening
Mail, and was accommodated with a bath
gratis. After having spent an hour and half
in that steamy and beatifc nakedness which is
the characteristic of that order of bath, he
made his exit, attiripg himself in an expensive
suit of clothes belonging to another bather and
appropriating geld watch in the vest pocket
of the suit Upon what principle of common
sense the Russian-bath keeper could have ex-
pected a notice in return from gratultous bath
bestowed upon the Bohemian don't pretend to
understand, but he evidently did cherish that
expectation. The unhappy young man himself
has since been arrested and placed in custody.

THE CROW or THE PERIOD.

In Ohio an innocent unsuspecting crow
lately fell a martyr to science in a way de-
scribed in this statement of the Cincinnati
C0npnaeTcidI:-
ITO prevent depredations on the cornfield
by the crow various devices are resorted to.
On account of the many fatal accidents re-
sulting of late from the careless handling of
firearms, this wise bird manages not to
be fooling around in the vicinity of the
muzzle of the guns when they go off. The
hanging to pole, planted in the cornfield,
of dead crow, is said to act frequently as a
good warning to living thieves of that race.
The principal objection to the plan is the diff
fculty of getting specimen to hang up. A
seedy gentleman of straw, arrayed in decayed
garments, is often stationed on guard over
the growing crops, and does we'll enough for
a short time, but the crows are not long in
forming his acquaintance and becoming on
intimate terms with him. Once, however, 1
saw crow badly fooled on the thing. One
day, as Professor Hobbs-who is generally
adorned with rather mature raiment-was
crossing a cornfeld, he was suddenly at
tackled with one of those paralytic strokes
of learning on the brain, and as
stood, hat in hand, in the hot sun, hour after
hour, pursuing a train of thought on some
scientific subject, a crow, which had been
watching him all the while, finally came to the
conclusion that he was genuine scare-crow,
and picking up dead mouse, which it acci-
dentally came across, described few maies-
tic circles in the air and alighted on Profess
sor's head to eat it (the mousse. Just then
the Professor came to, and clapping his hat
on with jerk, started for home. OF course
there was something of fiutter in the region
of the learned mans ideas, and the crow be-
coming entangled in his wig, was soon on his
dissecting table contributing to science"

THE TRADE IN wfLMiNGToN.
We gather from those portions of the Annual
Report of the Wilmington Board of Trade refer
ring to the Iron interests Of our city the follow
inS information Of interest
There arc now three mills in the ctv. one n
plate mill and the two others bar mills with a
collective capacity Of 1000 tons, and they use
annually the following quantities of materials
Eltnmnons coal, 1880 tons
Ing Iron, 5000 -
Iron Ore 500 .
Scrap iron and blooms }.DUD
Two of these mills have largely increased their
ca9acity during the year. Sedel & Hastings
having doubled the capacity of their plate mill.
and the Diamond State Iron Company added to
their works an extensive department for the
manufacture of railroad supplies.
'Ihe Wilmington and Heading Railroad has
not yet succeeded in making such arrangements
with other roads as to bring the price of coal
down to what we have reason to believe it will
eventually come, but when suitable and euut-
able adjustment Of rates shall be made the coal

extensively and profitably by our iron establish
ments and machine shops
The machine shops of the city have been quite
busy during the past year filling orders for MI
parts OF the country, but especially for the South
Southwest and West.
The Board Of Trade report also saws it las
long been the opinion of some of our best in
formed iron workers that our city offered good
inducements for the building of several blast
furnaces. Iron Hill and Chestnut Hill, but 70
miles from the city, on the line of the =. w. a.
y. II. H., have recently been visited by number
of members of the Board well yersed in the iron
business, and they agree that the quality and
supply OF ore there will warrant the building of
several furnaces in Wilmington with every pros
pectof success.
The consumption Of pig iron in the rolling
mills and foundries OF this city is $4,000 tons,
Cl3,Q1o anthracite and 10000 clarcoaD. This
will be increased by the amount required by the
very extensive works about completed at Edge

THE ExcEILENcE OF OUR CANDIDATES.

The Gazette, Democratic,) of this city, re-
ferred few days ago, in terms of high praise
to our candidate for Congress, Mr.. Head, and
we took pleasure in reproducing its very candid
and honorable statements. 1t is now almost
equally complimentary to Mr.. Coursey, our can
didate for Governor, whose high qualities, indeed,
fully entitle him toall the words of commentator
which he has received, and to many more.
The newspaper in question, speaks thus of Mr..
Coursey's excellent letter of acceptance, at the
time OF his nomination =
'sThe signal services which Mr.. Coursey has
rendered the people of this State by his perfectly
candid admission of the Radical system OF bribery
in elections which universally prevails in his
party, and his fearless exposure and denuncaton
of the same, is acknowledged with thanks and
Indebtedness by all and the excellent homy
which he reads TO these political sinners receives
hearty 4" Amen !" from the just and honest
men who need no admonition on this score.n
The pretense that Mr.. Coursey was rebuling
the :" Radical system Of bribery" is, OF course,
too shallow to deceive any one. He was refer
ring to the general system of bribery, practised
by members of both parties and carried to
perfection by leading Democrats. lie rebuked
the practice, itself, well as il deserves to be-
lie condemned the barter and sale of votes, the
degradation of citizenship, and the corruption of
public moralsl II his structures fell upon his
own party to some degree, they fell with far
greater weight upon the party to which the
writer of the extract quoted belongs, and when
he, kno'ciag his, SO heartily extols Mr.. Coursey
signal service Y to the people his " fearless
exposure and denunciation 4 and admits that
they are acknowledged with thanks and in
debtedness by ALL" lie confcra high, but only
just praises on Mr.. Coursey.
These testimonials from our opponents come
with peculiar value at this time. The Republ-
cans Of Delaware have nominated very strong
ticket. Thomas B. Coursey is well qualified to
be Governor, and Joshua T. Head to DO Repre-
sentative in Congress- Of the State The people
are declaring the fact, daily, and when even our
opponents admit it, who can doubt the ultimate
result ,
