HIS FIRsr APPEARANCE IN WILMINGTON.
Institute Hall has been secured, and on Thurs
day evening next the American Fire Eater will
give his first exhibition before public audienc o.
Ge comes direct from his home In Caroline Co..
ND and brings with him testimonials as to his
ability to perform the astounding feats which he
claims to be able TO perform from some Of the
best citizens in the county, who have Witnessed
him.
Last evening. at the invitation Of his agent We
Witnessed an exhibition OF his perfect control
over the gneous element, and his triumphant
escape from the perils which must necessarily
be attendant upon an attempt of an ordinary
person to perform the same thing. He
drst drew from the stove living,
glowing coal OF fire, and biting IL in twain,
ehewed it in his mouth until reduced to atoms.
He then applied a red hot iron to his tongue and
afterwards 10 his feet, and also lifted molten
lead from an iron vessel to his mouth and there
held il until it solidided. Strange to say after he
had concluded, there was not the least trace Of
burn to be perceived. Tho performance was a
fair, square and open exhibition, without the
least indication Of trickery in any phase. Those
who witnessed the Fire Eater, (and there were
several representatives Of the press and other
gentlemen, presenD came TO the conclusion that
Jersey lightning" even IL IL does kill at long
range, would have but little effect upon him.
The incredulous will be willing 10 discard their
unbelief after witnessing him on Thursday.

POLITICAL GOSSIP IN SUSSEX. Democratic
politicians Of Sussex are beginning to cast
around to see who are the most anxious nib
blers of the Congressional political hook
1t is generally conceded that the candidate
must either come from New Castle or Sussex.
Kent County is doomed to lay on the shelf on
account Of her prominent and available Demo
Gratis having gone of with the Independent or
"Polly McNatt" movement.
Amongst the candidates mentioned in Sussex,
are Custis NJ. Wright, of Georgetown; Edward
L. Martin, and Geo. II. Nicholson, OF Sea
ford. The nomination would be thankfully ac-
cepted by either Of the gentlemen named but
owing TO the bad feeling now existing in the
party on account OF disappointed ofiice-seekera,
there is a lack Of unity in the political family
and 80 Il is conceded that the Hon Benjamin L.
Biggs. the plough-boy of New Castle County
the present incumbent, must be put upon the
track for third term. On the Republican side
Joshua Il. Head, of Wilmington, is the onl.
candidate spoken Of.

About thirty masqueraders appeared upon the

II is not the cause OF any lack in the severity OF

are sure the spectators did. The masks were
