LADIES CHRISTIAN UNIoN.-By ref
erence to the announcement published
to-day's paper, it will be seen that the
ladies of our Christian Union will
hold their Second Anniversary at the
Opera House, commencing next Tues
day evening. On Wednesday they
will provide a fine dinner for all who
may wish to contribute to the good
cause by patronizing them. Last year,
our readers will recollect, their ami
versary was one of the most pleasant
affairs of the kind ever gotten up in
Delaware. The supper the 6rst even
ing was excellent, and the dinner next
day was, we think without exception,
one of the best ever spread in Della
ware. All the substantials, as we'll as
every delicaey of the season,
were served with generous hands by
beautiful waiter girls, improvised for
the occasion from our ciSy's fairest
daughters. We venture to say that all
who took meals with the ladies of the
Union last year will not miss the treat
this year, and those who did not then
should make it point to do so this
time. We can safely promise them
that they cannot but be pleased with
the treatment they will receive. The
ladies promise to repeat last years
feast of good things, and, if such a
thing is possible. we have no doubt but
that they will Improve it. The. cause
for which the ladies of the Christian
Union labor is the care of the helpless
and worthy poor IN oar oa0n miast. Al
honor to them, and may they go OF
doing good foreverl

BEAUTIFUL AURoRAL DISPLAYS
Those of our citizens who were so for
tunate as to arise early enough on the
morning of last Monday were witness
es of a most brilliant display of the
Aurora Borealis, which illuminated
the whole northern heavens, as by a
great eonf1agration. In the evening
the skies were again brilliant with
auroral lights. Early in the evening
a broad band of blood-red colOred light
was observed stretching across the
zenith, from the east to the northwest.
1t was well defined throughout, and
hung for several hours like a cloud of
flame, fading at times to delicate
pink and then again flashing brilliant
ly. About nine o'clock, a very beauti-
full Aurora was observed in the north
ern skies, which were brilliant with
white, pink, purpIeand crimson lights.
The display continued until towards
midnight, and was considered most
brilliant from ten to half past eleven.
On Tuesday evening the broad purple
band of light was again visible at an
early hour, but the clouds soon hid the
beautiful sight from view.

A VOICE FROM RERL1N.

The North German Co,yes60ndent
(Bismarck's special organ) contains in
its issue of the 10th inst, the following
remarks:
"The adjournment of the French cleo
tons, which were to take place on the
10Th instant, while It indirectly confirms
the reports of dissensions in the provi-
sionaI government, clearly proves that
M. Favre and his colleagues are still
living in fools paradise, and that re-
lying on a powerful diversion in the
provinces or aid from abroad, they have
at present no sincere desire for peace.
Indeed, there is no reason whatever to
believe that a Constituent Assembly
would condone their bold usurpation OF
power-a power they appear resolved
to retain by subjecting Paris to reign
of terror, the first act Of which was the
execution of a number of soldiers who
had fed before the. victorious enemy.
The new rulers are about to force the
capital to endure the horrors of famine
can this serve any useful purpose, or is
it merely to drive the unfortunate peo-
pie to despair.

MASONIC CDEDICATIoN.-Then new, ele-
CANT and spacious Hall ofHiram Lodge
F. & A. NJ, was dedicated with appro-
pirate ceremonies, last Tuesday even
ing. It was beautifully and tasteful
ly, but modestly decorated. The audi
ence filed it more than full Of intelli-
gent listeners and observers, many of
whom had learned to love the Masonic
order because they knew its teachings
and practices, and others because those
they loved belonged to the fraternity
and loved it. And yet others were there
that they might learn something con-
cerning its principles and teachings.
The order of exercises was begun
by singing an opening ode to the good
old tune ''Aosld Lang Syae." Prayer
by Doctor McCabe. The choir then
sung an anthem, after which the Hall
was dedicated by Past Grand Master
Thomas Sparrow, assisted by
the brethren of the lodge. The eere-
mony of dedication is a beautiful and
impressive one-especially to Masons.
i Rev. L. F, Van Cleve, of Cincinnati,
delivered most elegant and eloquent
address concerning the principles,
practices and teachings Of Masonry, es-
pecialIy in a moral and religious point
of view, showing that the cause Of mo-
4 rality and religiOn-and especially the
Protestant Christian religion-has re-
, ceived much assistance from that an
5 cient order, particularly in the days oi
? the crusades, and when the Bible, in
} manuscript, had to be secreted in or
9 der to be preserved from destruction
by the hands of infidels. His address
was well calculated to dispel from tn,
: minds of those who heard him any
Q prejudices they may have entertained
] against the order. At the conclusion

SHORT LIEE.-There was a meeting
of the friends of the Cincinnati
and Springfield Short Line Rail-
road at Lebanon, yesterday, for the
purpose of apportioning the amount
necessary TO be raised by the different
counties through which road will pass.
A proposition made by John R. Hill
lard, of the Springfield and Delaware
Railroad, that each county along the
line should raise 81, 600 per mile, was
unanimously adopted, and danexeeutive
committee of seven from each coun-
ty appointed to attend to the
raising Of the money. The amounts, as
apportioned, are as follows: Clarke
county, $40, 900; Greene county, S72, 600;
Warren county, SGT, 600; and Butler and
Hamilton counties, S44, GOO. An earn
est feeling prevailed, and the friends of
the enterprise appear to have conf
dent hopes of success.-o -oncnnati

There is plausibility in the rumored
proposition that Luxembourg may serve
Germany as the territorial compensation
required in peace-maSing. The destruc
ton Of the fortifcations of the old city of
Luxembourg has been carried on with
such feebleness that but very little has
been accomplished. If Metz and Suaus-
burg were dismantled in earnest, and
Luxemburg were restored and held by
the Prussians, the German frontier
would, to an outsider, look tolerably
safe. There is another thing to consid-
er in the appropriation of Luxembourg
by Germany, there will not be much
disturbance about it, The Luxembourg
ers themselves are not numerous, and
need not be noisy. AS they are pru-
dent people, when they learn their fate
they must accept it cheerfully. If nee
essary, they should vote unanimously,
and with immense enthusiasm for an
neXation to Germany. At least they
might as well do SO when the pleasure

READ the ststement OF the HARTFORD
FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY In another col
umD. It viii do you good. This Is one OF
the Oldest and most reliable companies in
the county. thas been doing business in
this place for almost 20 years, and has al
ways paid its losses fully and promptly.
Thissafe and solid company for nearly sirtg-
one years has maintained a JSrst-class repttta-
tioR. 1t is the Company for FARMERS all The
time. Rates very moderate, and all risks
from IRE and lightning insured against.
Unlike many OF the paper capital concerns
that, with their fierce agents, are securing
the country ready to insure everything at
any rate they can get, the old Hartford has
q prospect before it Of being for several
years a good. solid, safe and reliable Insur-
ance Company. Those.who want to have
their property really islslved, viii get HART
FORD Policies instead OF policies In COM
panies whose stock in the market is dull
sale at 10 cents on the dollar. This is an
age Of wild, trashy Insurance Companies.
A few years will wipe out many Of them.
Better be safe and secure from loss by fire
by insuring al once in the OLD HARTFORD.

INVOLUNTARY sELF-DEsTRUC-
TION.

A New York evening paper, comment
ing on the fact that a gentleman was re-
Gently found dead in his bed, at a
Broadway hotel, with a hole through his
body made by. a pistol ball, advances
the theory that the man shot himself
while asleep, and therefore unconscious
Of what he was doing. The body 1t ap-
pears, was carefully covered up to the
chin, proving that the pistol must have
been fired under the sheets, and also
from the left hand. No possible cause
for the suicide-if such it was-could be
assigned. So 1t IS suggested by the pa
per above mentioned that he might
have been asleep at the time and under
the influence Of a vivid dream. In
support of this view mentioned is
made of an instance, known to the
writer. when gentleman came very
near killing his wife one night through a
dream in which he saw himself in the
act of shooting burglar. He awoke
| Just as. he was about to pull the trigger
and to his horror, found himself stand
| ing by the side of the bed, with the
weapon cooked in his hand, leveled a
the head Of his wife. Had he killed
her, but few persons would have be
innocence of murder. Instances sim
liar to these are not, we believe, Withou
occasional mention in the annals o
crime, nor yet entirely unknown to ju
risprudence but if there are any au
thenticated cases they are very rare in
deed.

At the Prussian headquarters in
Meaux the King occupied the front,
Count Bismarck the back rooms of the
Archbishop's place. The apartments of
the Count were on the ground floor, and
looked out upon the extensive gardens
to the rear of the palace. The 18th of
September had been very busy day to
many of the Prussians, and not least OF
all to the Count. He was riding all day,
and in the evening he had a long con-
ference with the King. Tired with these
difficult labors he fastened, when he
reached his room, to prepare for bed.
He had scarcely, however, begun to
undress himself when he heard a rust
ling among the bed-clothes, and on
searching found to his astonishment an
infant not more than four weeks old
On looking closer, he found by the side
of this ez5flzHf k,0lF0s the following note:
| "My husband fell at Sedan; have moth
