The STATE OF DELAWARE AsLEEP.-A cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Press writes
from Lewes, Delaware:
The customs of many of the people here carry
us back to the days of our grandmOthers. Lime
being scarce, few Of the houses are whitewashed
and this gives them an ancient and rusty appear
ance on the outside, which is not lessened when
you enter. All the cooking of the family is
done in large open fireplace, with the ancient
Dutch oven. The house where we stayed had
been occupied by the family since last Deem
Der, yet only one room was pIastered, and this
served as kitchen, sitting-room and bed room.
One side was almost taken up by the fireplace.
The art of making ordinary loaf bread such as
a northern housekeeper considers indispensable
to the comfort Of her family, seems almost I'M
known. Hot biscuits and corn "pOme" are the
staple articles of consumption. Stewed chick
en- is given to guests everywhere and all the
time, although it is very evident that pork in
some one of its forms is the common meat of
the family. There being very little sale for but
ter, it is used, such as il is, in great profusion.
One hne morning we perceived by the odor
that coffee was being roasted. A short time
alIerward we glanced into a sort of outbuilding,
and saw one OF the women pounding something
In wooden mortar with a pestle Of the same
material. On inquiry, we learned that she was
pounding the coffee! We were much amused at
remark OF the woman (mistress) of the house.
Hearing described in glowing colors the effects
upon the country of the building of railroad,
and the consequent raising of fruits and vege-
tables for the New York and Philadelphia mar
kets, she said; "But somebody must raise corn
anyhow"
The ignorance of majority of the people is
perfectly appalling. Many men of property
sign their names with a cross. What else can
be expected, when the schools are only kept
open from four to six months in the year, and
the teachers are only paid from $50 to $50
month. Riding along one day we saw, right by
the roadside, in the edge of pine wood, Della.
ware school house. 1t was built of wood
twenty. four feet long by twenty feet wide. We
entered and found seated, we should think,
about twenty-five children. mostly small. The
floor was dirty, and everything had rather a
dilapidated appearance. The teacher appeared
not 10 know what people of his profession were
paid per month in the district

FRENCH MITRAILLEUsEs.-The Berlin Mill
tarischeS Wochenblatt sums up an exhaustive
article on the French mitrailleuses in the follow
ing terms:
while their general effect is much inferior to
that of artillery, the mitrailleuses require an
equally complex and costly organization, and
they are no less exposed TO the enemy's fire. At
great distance they are of little or no value,
on account Of their feeble range the limited space
they command, and the impossibility of accu-
rately directing their fire. AT short distance
they suffer as much from infantry fire as artil-
lery. They cannot cover troops, partly because
they are placed behind them, and partly because
their projectles neither burst nor rebound. In
offensive movements they are of no practical
utility, and it is only in exceptional cases that
they can be employed for the defense; for exam
pie, when there is not sufficient space to deploy
the requisite force of fusiliers, as sometimes
happens in defending a narrow road and on
other similar occasions. We are convinced by
these facts that in future wars the mitrailleuse
will play much less important part than many
people seem to believe"

spirators had laid their plans well to ensure the
success of their fraudulent enterprise. By
making the interest of their creditors identical
with their own, they induced them to combine
in efforts to coerce the companies, through at
tacks upon their credit and reputation for fair
dealing, to pay the claims without investiga-
ton. To this end circulars were sent all over
the country, misrepresenting the facts of the
case denying the good faith of the companies
involved, and accusing them of taking advan-
tage of the necessities OF the assured to Cypress
and defraud them. No doubt now remains that
the companies were right in resisting and ex-
posing this frand.

WORCESTER.
SATURDAY. AUGUST IL. 1871.

In England, the demand for the ballot has been
sternly opposed by the influence called ''conser-
vative;" but the force Of this influence has
grown weaker, every year; and, now, the house
OF commons has passed bill to establish the
ballot. OF course, this bill has been rejected in
the house Of lords. Some day, that house will
sanction the measure. 1t could be forced through
now by creating new peers, if this method seemed
desirable; but there is in England a growing
disposition to abolish the house OF lords, or to
substitute for that body another more response
bic to the people. Something like this is advo-
Gated by writer in the British Quarterly, who
goes so far as to believe it desirable to abolish
the peerage itself, discontinue hereditary titles,
and allow only the special grant of life titles to
such persons as have become deservedly eminent.
The open and earnest advocacy of such changes
shows what the future has in store for the British
peerage The ballot which the peers now refuse,
will at length have power to abolish hereditary
Legislators and create an upper house" of a
very different character.

MEN OF LITERAL" MIND.-An old man
who had walked every Sunday for many years
from Newhaven to Edinburg, to attend church,
was complimented by the clergyman for the
length and regularity of his attendance. "Deed
sir," was the reply, dts very true; but aboon
a like to hear the SUCH and iingling O. the
bells, and see a. the Draw folk" A reply some
what similar to the above was once made to the
minister of Gaashiels A parishoner whose
residence was situated about half way between
Selkirk and Galashiels found it more convenient
to attend the church in the country town than
his parish church, and absented himself from
the latter for considerable time. Having re.
turned, however, the minister accosted him with
the observation, "Well, John, you have come
back to us-a better sermon, IsupposeP ooh, .
replied John, "as for the sermon, there's no sac
mickle difference, but get better mug O. ale
