They say that once upon time there was a
famine and the Indians could get no game.
Hundreds had died from hunger and desoatiOn
filed their country. All kind of offerings were
made to the Great Spirit without avail, till one
day two hunters came upon white wolverine
a very rare animal. Upon shooting the white
wolverine an old woman sprung out OF the skin,
and saying she was "Manito," promised to go
and live with the Indians promising them plen-
ty of game as long as they treated her we'll,
and gave her the hrst choice Of all the game
that should be brought in.
The two Indians assented to this. and took
the old woman home with them-which event
was Immediately succeeded by an abundance OF
game.
When the sharpness of the famine had passed
the Indians became dainty in their appetite, and
complained of the manner in which the old wo-
man took to herself all the choice bits, and this
feeling became no intense that Notwithstanding
her warning if they violated their promise ter
rible calamity would come upon the Indians, they
one day killed her as she seized upon her share
of a fat reindeer which the hunters had brought
in.
Great CONSERVATION Immediately struck the
witnesses Of the deed and the Indians, to escape
the predicted calamity, boldly struck their tents
and moved away to great distance.
Time passed on without any catastrophe occur

THE CAREER OF DELAWARE coLohED MAN.
Among the preachers at the late camp meet
ing of the colored people of Milford was Rev.
Henry Young. He was born near Milford o5
years ago, and was raised on little farm in
slaughter's Neck, where, after ''pieking up
carpentering and shoemaking as livelihood, he
was given license to preach. He was first sent
to Lewes, and since then he has filled pulpits in
Trenton Boston, Canada, Cincinnati, louisville,
New Orleans, etc. As endowment agent OF vii,
berforce University. Xenia, o., he raised
S44, 900 for this institution. And during his
ministry he has built ten new churches and re-
modelled as many more. This Is the brief out
line of the career Of Delaware negro, who on
his return to this State some years age to settle
his fathers estate, was threatened with arrest
and Imprisonment by the then States Attorney
under law. now upon our statute books prohlb-
iting the return of free negro or muiatto who
had once left the State. The writ was issued

Most of your readers in the upper part Of the

considerable feeling, and il encouraged and con-
tinued in, is almost certain to result in the de-
feat of the successful candidate at the general
election, if either of the two obtain the nomina-
ton.
| find, on consultation with several OF the
leading men of the party, that they consider,
under these circumstances, the best thing TO DO
to heal the threatened breach and insure success
at the coming election for the Republican party
in Ohristiana Hundred. 1t is imperative that the
friends of both the above gentlemen unite on
some one not identified with the present quarrel
We learn that Henry Swayne, at the soiclta-
tion and advice of several OF his friends and
| some OF the leading Republicans, has consented
to allow his name to be used as candidate Tor
| said Office.
Mr.. Swayne has been we'll and favorably known
as a citizen of old Christiana hundred for nearly

office will be a very strong one. We beiley'

Beware Of man or woman with a fixed smile
Trust the most hdeous scowler before the being
who goes about with an angelic grin carefully
exhibited to all eyes under any and every cir
cumstance. 1t is not natural to smile perpetu-
ally, and no one ever assumes a mask without
being conscious of a necessity for concealment.
Don't misunderstood me- There are young wo-
men. and few old men, who break out into a
smile whenever they speak. These are not the
people mean. The smile of which warned
you is motionless, hypocrtical, fixed EXPRESS
ion, which have seen worn during silent
three hours journey by rail, without the slight
est alteration-that sort of smile which most
misguided lady artists present upon their can
vas when they delineate martyrs, saints and an
gels. The portrait of lady has different
smile-the fashion-plate simper-which though
semi, ,idiotic is not dangerous. Persons OF no no
penetration allude TO the chronic smile as 80
sweet !" and any one capable of holding the
muscles of the face under control, is generally
able to squeal sweetly, to move quietly, and to
use choice language, measured tones, in mo-
ments of the greatest excitemont, and so can al
ways place better man or women at great dis
advantage, and appear injured and innocent
when actually most guilty.
