The Pullman Cars In AngIand.

The contract OF Mr.. Pullman with the Midland
Railway Company is for fifteen years, cores
ponding with his agreements made with the rail-
roads OF the United States. II involves radical
changes in the present railway system Of En-
gland. The Pullman Company Is to build eigh-
teen cars at its works in Detroit, which are to
be shipped to England and put upon the Mid
land Railway, between London and Liverpool in
September next. They will be elegant coaches,
fifty feet in length, aud will have all the most re-
cent improvements OF the Pullman system. The
day-coaches will have four compartments, re-
spect in which the English coaches and the
American parlor-car already correspond. They
will all be placed upon the American truck, and
will have the detailed conyeniencss hitherto
lacking in the coaches of foreign railways. The
American check system will be adopted in all
particulars, and the baggage will be carried in a
baggage car similar to our own. The coaches
will all have the Miller platform, and will be en-
ter cd from the rear, instead OF from the side as
hitherto. There will be two trains each way be-
tween London and Liverpool, American in all
respects, except the retention Of the compart-
ment Aystem on all day coaches, third-class ira
vel, and a few other unimportant details. A
slight difference in the gauge renders it necessA-
ry to make the new coaches about eight inches
lower and eight inches narrower than those used
in the United States. The terms OF running the
cars are to be the same as in America The
Pullman company furnishes the cars fully equip
ped, with attendants, and runs them for the
extra charge The railway will keep them in re-
pair and collect it's usual fares The prospect
for the general use of the Pullman car not only
on all lines of the Midland Railway, but on 9TH
er railway lines in England and on the continent
are excellent. Although the whole thing is an
experiment, its success must be considered al
ready assured. Chicago Tribune,

GEORGETOWN, Del, April 16.
Although our town is full of fpeople this week.
on account of the Court, there appears to be but
little business to transact. Our merchants and
the hotel men, however, are doing lively BUSH
noes.
Most of the cases before the Court are the re-
suit of iquor-selling in violation Of law We
noted one or two cases. Jocob Jester was fined
$40 and costs for selling liquor on Sunday at the
camp meeting in Peppers woods last summer.
DR.. Knowles OF the Breat.odter Light was fin
ed 800 and costs for selling without license
Pretty hard on the Greeley House
Jester has been in Jail for some months, await
ing his trial. unable to get bail, and is sent back
by the court until his fine is paid.
Thanks be to Judge Gilpin. He is becoming
a terror to evil doers of this class, and we are
hopeful that under the new law this nefarious
business will be broken up. The Attorney Gen.,
Chas E. Lore, lis due the thanks of the commu-
nifty for the faithful manner in which he prose-
cuted these cases.
There were but few cases on the civil list and
these were mostly settled or continued, and
there was 30 little business of a commonwealth
character that the Judge dismissed the grand
Jury early on Tuesday afternoon complimenting
them on the improved morals OF Sussex 20.
The Temperance movement in this county has
done much in this direction. II it was not for
liquor drinking there would be little for courts
and lawyers to do, and there would be no ne
cessity for the increase Of the Judges salaries

A FABLE.

A FABLE,
Under maple tree, by the shed,
In a barrel, the tabby-cat made her bed;
-Four little kittens, round and fair,
/ White, black and spotted, were Graded there
Just eight days old, and they thought they knew
The whole of the Universe, through and through,
And never dreamed they had cause to fret,
Because their eyes were not opened yet,
Fresh leaves nickered on every stem;
Shadow and sunshine played over them;
On the climbing rose tree, beside the shed,
The blossoms each day showed deeper red;
The name-colored UriOlo passed in quest
OF the bough best fitted to hold his nest;
The robin built In the iir-tree tall;
The wren found mock in the wood-house wall;
All things were throbbing with life and bllss;-
But what could the kittens know of this?
To sleep in the barrel where they were moved;
Blindly to nuzzle about for food,
To crawl over Tabby when dinner was done;
To bask in he rays of the morning sun,
Seeing nothing of that which warmed them so;-
This was all which the kittens could know.
Yet they thought themselves lifting, none the
worse,
To Judge all things in the Universe.
"Listen, " said Spot to the other three,
As the birds sang above them jubllantly;
"Hear, how those voices forever repeat
'The world is w1de,' and the world is sweet;'
But zoe know what the world ia, whatever they say
1t is round, and narrow, and full of hay"
Said speckle, II Yes, and they speak Of light
And blessed sunshine and morning Bright
Let US be thankful ice never knew
These foolish fances OF things untrue"
Whitley and Backey both agreed
That only kittens were wise Indeed.
But the very next morning, by Natures laH,
Their eyes were opened the kittens saw;
They saw the morning, they hailed the light,
They looked on the wide world, fair and bright,
And the kitisns owned, like the Queen Of old,
That half OF the glory had not been told
We oahnot see, with our blinded eyes,
The world OF auty which round us lies,
Scarcely we hear, and but faint and low,
The ange-vsices which come anf go.
Yet the world of causes, however we doubt,
Closely is pressing our lives about,
And our eyes shall behold it, clear and plain,
When the veil Of flesh shall be rent in twain.

some steps to make connection with this evening
train at Harrington, communication along the

the case

Thomas Vandegrift, young man residing at

friends in Wilmington, a few days ago, was taken
i'll with (supposed) congestive chills. When the
chill passed OFF he was left in state of entire
exhaustion, and without power to move even a
muscle or artculate a syllable although, accord
ing to his own statement, perfectly conscious Of
all that was going on around him. While in this
state, his friends supposing him to be dead. after
sending for physician set about preparing the
body for burial, and had their work well nigh
reformed, when the Doctor arrived and upon
examination found signs of life slightly percep-
tible and after waiting and watching short
time the young man recovered sufficiently to en-
able him to speak, rise and depart in time to
escape the impending horrors Of being buried
alive. He is now enjoying good health and,
doubtless appreciates, very highly, the great
