MONDAY, Oct. 21-8 p. M.
The week opens with moderately active move
ment In trade circles, and with a fair prospect OF q
good aggregate business for the week. The arm-
ness In the gold premium renders the markets
steady, as general rule, and there would seem to
be no likelihood OF any radical fluctuations in the
immediate future. Confidence is reassured, and
business seems to have settled down once
more and to be again controlled by demand
and supply-the only legitimate basis upon
which trade can be founded. The markets to-day
were without especial change and there were
few noteworthy occurrences out of the ordinary
line. On Change there was fair movement in
most OF the principal commodities and fair
amount OF business was chronicled. Flour was
duh. Wheat was steady. Corn was dull and
heavy. Pork and lard were slightly better. Cotton
was in active demand for "sp0t" and the market
firm. Groceries remained very strong, but were
generally quiet, excepting for cofee, which con-
tinued to attract considerable attention In the
petroleum market there was an unusual lively bus
ness, and the increased demand warranted holders
In asking higher prices, which were freely paid at
the close Naval stores dull and unchanged except
ing for spirits which closed nominay easier. Whiskey
remained firm.

THE RRpupLIcANs IN A coon HuMoR.

The Republicans OF this State consider that
Delaware's vote for Grant sets the pinnacle on the
pyramid Of National successes, and as it is a
diamond OF the first water Ii will both shine well
and wear well. They concetye-and justly, as we
think-that their day has dawned in this Com
monwealth and that the sun Of the Saulsburys,
and Bayards, has dipped below the horizon. Since
ls4s, when Delaware voted for the hero of Buena
Vista, under the energetic and enthusiastic
campaign work Of the great Clayton, the State
has been tied to the fortunes Of the Democracy
like Gratz Browns card to Horace Greeley coat
tail according to NAst.) 1t voted for Pierce, in
1852; for Buchanan in 1856 for Breckinridge in
$780, for Mcclellan, in 1854 and for Seymour, in
1868. This was long period of service for the
Democratic task-mAster, and Delaware feels
that she must now take out her freedom papers,
and begin to cultivate her own resources. We
confidently expect, that for the next twenty years
Delaware will send biennial report that she
is Republican all over, chuck up, full to the
brim, and repudiat es utterly the enticements,
promises, and attractions labeled Democratic.
These things put the Republicans in good
humor, and they celebrate their hopefulness
with music, singing, speech-making, and kindred
methods Of graduation. On the whole, they
have right to it has been long time since
they sat down to partAke Of the Egyptian flesh
pots, and the quAils and mama in the Wilder
ness, during the wanderings Of twenty years,
have come in unfrequsnt showers. Whether
this was due to their own unworthiness, we shall
not decide, but certainly, now that they stand
on the borders Of the Land OF Promise, they can
be excused if they sound the loud timbrel, and
draw few joyous not es from the harp Of
thousand strings.
The campaign Of Reform, on which we now
enter, and which is to close in November, 1874,
with an overwhelming triumph for the cAndi-
dates who represent the Progressive and Amen
dAtory movement, should enlist thousands Of
our good citizens who have hitherto sustained
thsA@mocratic policy. Their party is disbanded ;
the@white mans" cry is but lost echo Of bar
bMous era, died away in the forests and the
work Of all good citizens, now, ought to be di-
rected to the improvement and advancement Of
the State. "come thou with us, and we will do
thee good

Dancing is perhaps the oldest amusement in
the world, and too natural not TO outlive all OPP
position, yet while we often hear it disparaged
we scarcely ever hear it defended for its extreme
reasonableness. A small book entitled Dane
ing in right Spirit" is the only attempt Of the
kind have met, but the author has greatly linn
tied himself by considering the question in one
direction only. Whilst very rightly and aeIelbly
reminding us how dancing Was religious pas
time among the Jews, and how it ID nowhere
forbidden, but rather commended in the Bible,
lie leaves untouched any consideration apart
from the Bible, and much may be said in favor
Of dancing from an artistic point Of view. As
beauty Of color to the eye, as sweet sounds to
the ear, 80 is the luxury Of quick easy motion,
10 the healthy frame. All young things delight
70 skip and dance. When it hears quick lively
music the child must dance it is an irresistible,
spontaneous instinct, az much as to use its
young voice and shout and laugh and sing out
III merriment. 1t is the first praise Of the child
to its Creator. BY enjoying the life He gives it,
the child unwittingly ,unconsciously, praises Him
IN ito bright, swift motion, al hereafter it will
do consciously in a maturer form by the life it
viii lead to His glory. So in the childhood Of
mankind, men danced before God in the full Joy
of their hearts. 1t was kind Of praise to God
from these children Of the earth's earlier days,
and az much the right and natural mode for them
10 express praise, as it il now the right and nat
urAl mode for children TO enjoy themselves.
Whatever gives Us highest enjoyment il most
appropriately connected with religion and az
physical enjoyment comes before mental, dane
ing formed part Of religious ceremonial before
more reconcile rituals or more abstract ideat
superseded it. When that time came dancing
slipped out Of the religious sphere. And moi
only that, but in process OF time grim theology
which would DANISH all cbeerfulnese from life
did its best to condemn dancing, together witt
many other innocent and natural amIsements
as zin. But such gloomy views Of things are toe
unnatural to retain the world in their bondage
30 dancing is still an enjoyment to Thousand
and when natures pre-eminent right Of guidance
is more and more recognized, dancing will again
assume its place amongst the arts which add
beauty and joy to our lives, and, though no
longer amongst the rites OF religion, will, far
from being considered hurtful to the religious
sentiment be seen to be a furtherance thereof
in the same manner as are painting music, and
all other branches Of the joyous and beautiful
Victoria Magazine.
