The first condition of success in furnishing
either a large or a small room is that there must
be no over-crowding This is absolute. When
outline is lost beauty, a. a matter Of fact, Is
lost also We must all know many drawing
rooms in which, perhaps, the worth and beauty
Of each individual thing is indisputable, on en-
terng which the first thing that strikes one Is
sense OF incongruity. What might have been
an art collection is degraded to the level OF an
old curiosity shop. Most women are born with
a love of beauty But generally, unless this
love is cultivated aud trained, it runs to waste,
and fritters itself away upon small things. Mo-
men go into a shop and hover over counter
for an hour, engrossed in the purchase OF nifty
minute things, each one Of which is pretty
enough in itself il taken up in the hand and in-
4pected but not one Of which can be clearly
defined distance OF two yards, and not one OF
which repays the trouble Of the minute inspec-
ton. These are packed away in shiny cabinets
that are blazing with oromolu scrollwork, on
spindle legged what-nots that seem to be de-
signed for no earthly purpose than to be knock
ed down at brief intervals, and on maltle-pleces
that confuse ones vision and middle one BRAN
during the long periods when the need OF being
near the fire forces one to face him. II is a bet
ter and higher system OF economy to buy two or
three good bTonzes or Marbles on which the
eye can always rest with pleasure, than to spend
| ten times the sum on a heterogeneous mass OF
| the parti-colUred rubbish which may accumulate
''in order they call it, ito take oil the naked
| look of their rooms Better the naked looh
ten thousand times than the false decoration.

THE CONSISTENT DEMOCRACY.


Upon all hands, expressions of discomfort with
Greeley are heard from Democrats. The
O'Conor and Adams ticket is gaining strength
daily, in this State, as in others. The Straight
out Truth Teller made its appearance, this morn
ing, and proves to be a vigorous and entertaining
sheet. The most significant aud important por-
ton Of its contents is the evidence presented III
various ways that a great body of Democratic
voters in this State thoroughly sympathize with
IL. Numerous extracts from letters received by
the gentlemen conducting the Truth Teller are
published, some Of which were sent accompa-
MED BY lists Of names of those who desired
copies OF the sheet. Among these, Seaford alone
sent thirty names, and single locality (no'
named. } in New Castle County, twenty more.
Add to facts like these, the determination oil
the Straight-Outs to hold Mass Meeting next
week, at the City Hall, and their announced pur-
pose to nominate an electoral ticket in this State,
and other known facts and it begins to be very
plain that they are rapidly rising to the dignity
of party, in Delaware, while tho unfortunate
ul-copceiyed Greeley Movement is falling away
into disorganized faction. The trouble is that
it was set on foot, and carried forward by WIRE
pullers without ever having the approval and
confidence of the vo ing masses Of the Democ
racy. 1t was a fraud on them, and they are FAST
repudiating it.

prevalence OF acute disorders Of the stomach bowels

too, all persons whose digestion is weak are more

The WorkinEmen's InstltuIe-Address In 10
Behalf.

Comparatively few people in Wilmington are
unaware Of the existence Of the Workingmen'7
Institute, or the ends which it is designed to
serve. Organized about four years ago, it has
sprung from a very small beginning to living,
actual reality, noble in its purpose, benehcent
in it's results and widespread in its ability to dc
good. More than one mechanic has been lice
timably benefited by its privileges, and scores
'can testify TO the frution Of its advantages
which it has been theirs to enjoy
Maintained by public charity, the Institute
has been somewhat confined in its operations by
means Of lack Of funds. Il would have eX-
tended its sphere Of usefulness, increased it,
advantages and amphhed its attractions long ere
this put that its past obligations have compelled
a rigid economy and circumscribed the Execu-
tive Committee in its efforts 10 bring it more
into popular favor.

thatt sentiment Of this city is strongly in favor
Of the reelection Of President Grant. No larger
more respectable or more enthusiastic audience
ever assembled in Institute Hall than that which

hung around the doors unable to gain admission,
much less seat. For an hour and thfee-quar-
tiers they were enchanted by his wonderful elo-
quence, without showing any signs Of WEAKNESS
or the least disposition to retire. No more eff
fectiye or more welcome public speaker has
visited Wilmington this campaign than Mr..

greatly stren gthened the Republican cause in
