An Independent Town.

New Castle, Delaware, is one of the
most Independent corporations among
the towns and cities Of this country. 1t
has an income of about ell 900 per
annum, from land given to it by that
good old Quaker gentleman, William
Penn, which has been divided into five
farms, all productive, aud tcnantei out
to good farmers, the proceeds being au.
nually paid into the treasury of the
town. The children are all educated
free, and there is not cent of town
tax to be paid by any of its citizens.
Substantial water works have been pro-
vided and paid for out of this fund, and
other improvements are contemplated.
In business point Of view, the town is
Que of the dullest Of the dull. In the
afternoon you will scarcely fiud citi-
zen upon the streets; the whole town
appears to be asleep; and yet, it is the
county seat of a population of some
$4,000. Except during the session of
the Court, there appears to be no ani.

10 all parts of the country we notice
the withdrawal of prominent men from
the Grant party. Ex-Congressman
Ebon c. Ingersoll, a Republican Of
Illinois, has declared that he will not
support General Grant for reelection,
but will work for the Democratic can
didates. Ex.Congressman Mason W.
Tappan, of New Hampshire, has written
a letter to a friend which has been
published, in which he declares he can
not support Grant and Wilson. He
has invited MIR. Greeley to spend a
few days at his house in Bradford
Tx Congressman Lewis Pillman, who
was elected by the Republicans of the
Fourth district of Tennessee, in 1868,
has announced that he shall support
Greeley aud Brown. He wants ''the
passions and hates of the war to be
buried out of sight" These are few
of the straws that show the drift OF the
popular current at this time.

kINDLINEss OF THE GRANT ORGANS
TOWARDS DEMocRATs.-It is pleasant
70 know that the Grant organs feel such
lively concern for the well-being of
'ne Democratic party, Their columns
abound with such articles as ''Duty of
Democrats," "Advice to Democrats, !"
aud such sentiments as "Don't touch
greeley, he is protectionist," ale is
the lifelong enemy of Democrats. /"
one would imagine that they themselves
were neither protectionists nor enemies
OF the Democratic party, on glancing
over these articles; but that party fully
understands these specious exhibitions
OF l'adical concern for the Democratic
party, aud are greatly amused theroat.

CL.ASSIFICATIOHO FASHIONABLE
.r ..l'r ypRHEN

A LIVELY correspondent, writing from
New York upon the subject Of fashionable
women ia, that city, subdivides them into
six well-deined varieties. FRS, 1--WE have the
woman who wishes to combine fashion with
theology and condition of goodness, and
who is always uncertain which of the two
should be paramount. Grace Church
and Fifth avenue are the termini of the lit
tie world Of this class. 'Ia one she Wor-
ships, and in the other she is Worshipped,"
neatly observes the disSeCting letter-writeF.
The next type is the literary woman of fash
ion, who makes books-the rarer aud the
more ancient the better-her hobby, and who
discOurses laarnedly on authors of whom
she knows nothing, or else knows only
through newspapers and magazine criti-
cism, "She is sure she would have adOred
Dante or Shakespeare" says our social
anatomist; "aDd yet it will be revealed
some morning that she is engaged to Mr..
Simpson SugarhOuse, the Wholesale grocer
and as Mrs. SugarhOuse she will drop .seI
ALLEGATIONS and become the mother Of mat
ter of-fact children" Another variety Of
these charming enthusiasts is the musical
wonder of the SIlOnS-the young lady who,
from the age Of SIX, has had Baethoven's
sonatas, MOZaIJ's masses, and GlUck's fig
ures drummed into her, and who renders
them mechanically, and without in the
least compreheHding their spirit; who plays
pieces Of her OWE composition" which
are belived to have been the work OF
| her old German music master, and who
! frightens away suitors by dwelling too per-
| sistently upon OctaVes, Stalls and counter
| points when she well knows that the young
men have more taste for negro minssrelsy
than for symphonies. Oaher types ara the
| art belle, who has caught the Infection of
the pre-Rephaelibe school, aud who passes
her time in cha sing about the Old Mas
ter aud in painting poor pictures; the be-
nevolent women Of fashion, with whom be-
neVOlence means to drive about in the p0o-
districts Ito the House Of Industry, the Five
Points Mission, the Newsboy's Homeland,
| although without any genuine generosity
in her composition, to make a great ado
| over her performances; and finally, the

inhabitants, surpasses the boidsst dreams of
American emancipation ladies. Upon the

OF Bantam. Although tributary to Holland,
it is an independent State; politically with

Of the King is formed of the female elite.

The advance guard Of the large body of
immigrants from Alsace and Lorraine who
are TO settle in the neighboyhood of Alex

engaged ia prospecting for favorable sites
wherein TO settle. Some time will be de-
voted by these immigrants to the inspec-

in the market in that section of Virginia.
They desire not less than 4, 900 acres in
body, though they would prefer much
larger quantity, and win be governed by
the price and location of the land. The
colony now numbers about 200 families,
and are skilled in arts, manufactures, and
farming. They are all from that portion of
France captured by the Prussians in the
late war, and leave their native country for
America, rather than become Prussisn sub
jects. They propose to form joint stock
company, locate town, and lay out farms,
etc. Their purpose is TO exclude all others
from the colony but those Whe come with
them, for term of five years, during which
time no one Of the colony will be author
ized to dispose Of any portion Of the lands
purchased and embraced within their sur
vey. If they can be suited in Virginia on
good terms, they say they can increase
their colony to 1900 families without any
trouble,
