shore, and ran her ten or fifteen minutes towards
Watch Hill beach, blowing whistle continually for

THE FRENCHMAN AND THE FLEA
POWDER.
ORIGINAL yERsIoN-BY PROF. RAYMOND.

ORIGINAL vERsIoN-BY PROF. RAYMOND.
A Frenchman once-so runs a certain ditty-
Had crossed the Straits to famous London city.
To geta living by the arts of France,
And teach his neighbor, rough John Bull, t.
dance.
Bot lacking pupils, vain was all his skill
His fortunes sank from low to lower still,
Until at last, pathetic to relate.
Poor Monsieur landed at starvation's gate.
Standing, one day, at a cook-shop door,
And gazing in with aggrayation sore,
He unused within himself what he should do
To fill his empty nav, and pocket too.
By nature shrewd, he soon contrived plan,
And thus to execute it straight began:
piece of common brick he quickly found,
And with harder stone to powder ground,
Then wrapped the dust in many dainty piece
OF paper, labeled poison for de Fleas,''
And sailed forth, his roguish trick to try,
To show his treasures, and see who'd buy.
From street to street he cried, with lusty yell,
Here's grand and sovereign flea poudare to sell.
And tickle fortune seemed to smile at last
For soon a woman hailed him as he passed,
Struck quick bargain with him for the lot,
And made him five crowns richer on the spot.
Our wight, encouraged by this ready sale,
Went into business on larger scale,
And soon throughout all London scattered he
The "only genuine poudare for de iea."
Engaged one morning in his new vocation
OF mingled Boosting and discrimination,
He thought he heard himself in anger called
And sure enough the selfsame woman brawled
In not very mild or tender mood,
From the same window where before she stood.
Hey, there 4! said she, you Monsher Powder man
Escape my clutches now, sir, If you can
I'll let you dirty, thieving Frenchmen know,
That decent people won't be cheated SO.
How dare you tell me that your worthless stuff
Would make my bedsteads clean and clear enough
OF bugs? I've rubbed those bedsteads DER and
DER,
And now the plaques are thicker than before !
Then spoke Monsieur, and heaved sanity sigh
With humble attitude and fearful eye.
"Ah, madam sill vous plat, attendeZ.vous-
will dis teetle ting explain to you.
My poudare gran MAGNITUDE why abuse him
Aha l show you, madam, hO1C TO use him.
You must not spread him in large quantite
Upon de bedstead-uoi dat's not de way.

And when he laugh-aha he ope his throat:

spite of the efforts of the citizens to

from it his dwelling, large two

were consumed, but the furniture

"THE WAR CLOUD" q sensation military drama,
by DeWalden, was very successfully produce
the Opera House last evening. by the Richings-
Bishop combination, assisted by a company from
Mr. John 7. Fords theatre in Baltimore. The
play is founded upon incidents IN the great strug-
gle between the North and South, and illustrates
the hardships, dangers and terrible suffering IN
separable from war, as ell as the horrors Of the
battle field. The seem " was " | adapted to the
piece, and the number and strength OF the compa-
nv and accurate delineation of character made the
entertainment one of the best of the character that
we have ever witnessed. The piece is too new to
secure that accuracy in the performance here to
make thrilling an impression as 1t Is calculated
to produce when more fully characterized. But
there we're several scenes last evening which filed
the house with applause, and encores were ire
Quent. Had it been performed on the first ever
ing OF the companys engagement, we doubt not
its reproduction would have been demardcj, rs
there has been nothing here more striA -.g and
captivating to the youth than some OF the scenes
presented. Mr.. BISHOP, as Marion Manifold "our
special correspondent" was excellent; and Mrs.
RICHINos BERNARD, as Stella Penton, fully sus-
tanned her great reputation as one OF the most
ready performers on the stage. while nearly the
whole cast did credit to themselves, and their eff.
forts were duly appreciated by the largest and
most fashionable audience which has been present
in the Opera House SO far during the fall season.
The conclusion Of the piece does not quite sustain
the thrilling character which the behoder is led to
expect but the other hand it is quite sensation
al enough, and Mr. Ford must have sacrificed con-
siderable to produce it here in the manner he did
for which we hope he will be amply repaid on fn'
ture occasions

OUR DUTY.

Under this caption the New FORK Express makes
some wholesome and timely comments, which are
particularly applicable and appropriate to our
State, and We can render no more timely service
to our friends and the cause which our Democratic
and Conservative citizens have at heart than to
lay before them the remarks Of that old and able
ally in the cause Of Democracy and self-govern-
ment:-
"Whatever be the result of the October cleo
tions, duty Is clear. The battle in which the coun-
try il engaged is for reform, for pacifcaton, for
peace, for breaking down the barriers Of sections,
for restoring the era OF good will throughout the
land, and beyond this it is contest for the right
OF elf-government against centrazation, for one
term for the Presidency, for personal responsible
ty for all men in Office, tor purer ballot-box, for
compelling the Federal Government to keep its
hands and money from our State elections. Still
further, it is direct battle, at and through the
ballot-box against arbitrary power. against man
who il bringing the patronage OF the Government
into conflict with the freedom Of elections; who
has for his Secretary of the Navy one who has
robbed the Treasury by the payment of unjust and
illegal claims; who has fer PostmasterG General a
man who allowed the claim Of Chorpenaing, which
had been disallowed for nine years, for $3.50 900,
Vhsse not one fifth OF the amount is due; whose
Secretary Of the Treasury is upon the stump while
his subordinates are defaulters, and the Govern.
ment 10 robbed of millions Of dollars; whose Secre-
tary Of the Interior aud Attorney General are
found almost everywhere but at the post Of duty,
and upon the stump to hold their own places, and
rs-siect their chief for another, and, it may be,
vet another four years. In such contest no dis
ssAers, no disappolntments, no mistakes even in
regard 70 candidates, will make true men falter,
and hence our duty is as plain as if it were wrlt-
tsn on the sky, or upon the minds and hearts of
the people. We strike for the country more than
party and look to political victory the best hope
Of the psople, the States, and mankind"

The completion of the Wilmington and Wes'
tern Railroad will be announced by those IN
authority in a short time to the travelling pun
lie, Il will be an event Of which our people
may we'll be proud. Few enterprises OF such
mapnitnde have ever been undertaken with
more spirit and pushed with more vlgor anc
determined zeal, or completed with 80 inuch
promptness. It speaks favorably for Whining
ton and those whs were intrus.ed with the en-
.erprise. Indeed, taking the size Of our CIT! ,'he
scarcity Of capital and all the difficulties INTO
consideration, we can hardly refrain from 'he
expression, that the improvement is one OF Inc
finest exhibitions ofenergy and business capacity
which the country can boast. And for its accom-
plishment our people are indebted to the perse-
verance OF very few gentlemen, at the head OF
whom has from the very inception Of the work
stood the President Of the Company, ). y
Heald, Esq, without whose energy we hesitate
not 10 say it would not have been built.
At presen, the road terminates al Landen-
berg, Pa, where il connects with the Pennsyi-
vania and Delaware Railroad TO Parkesourg
Pa, thence travellers take tie Pennsylvania
Railroad to Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle, and
other cities.
The great point gained for our city in the
completion OF this important work is in securing
the commencement Of great Southern route by
the way OF Oxford and the Peach Bottom L. X
to York, Pa, where connection may be made
with the Juniata, State Line and South Noun
tain Railroads, and the proposed route to thu
Broad Top coal regions, Thus affording th'
great southern and Western lines of travel, ant
the future coal trade, BY the Wilmington ant
Western Railroad, the shortest route to 'id
water and navigation and one of,he best harbor
on the Delaware river.
