Andrew Banhardt, Of the Wilmington
police force, testified TO the renOva TO
p lice headquarters of the articles found
nj the house at Ninth aud POplar.
The articles found In the house were
then offered In evidence on the part Of
the prosecution, so far that the link con-
hitting Thomas with the house at Ninth
and Poplar aud with the crime might be
complete, but defense objected and the
court took the matter under advisement.
At j.3O the Court adjourned until
Friday morning at 10 O'Clock. The
Judge instructed the jury to refrain from
talking about the case during the recess
and the prosecuting officers directed the
witnesses to return on Friday morning.
The case loses nOue Of its interest by
re iscn of lis age and the tedOusness Of
establishing certain elements Of the
crime. The state is endeaVOring TO urOve
the links between the crime and the
| prisoners.

possible for the evidence on both sides
TO be In before Friday night, and should
the court adjourn over Saturday the cast
will not be given to the jury before

A CHAPTER ON BED BUGS.

Mr. EDIToR:-I am boarder quaitered in
what Is regarded as tolerably respectable house
In the lower portion of the city. Our table is
generally supplied with the good things found
III our markets, aud our landlady Is clever,peas-
ant AMI agreeable. The house itself, Jlloug
roomy, is an old one, and the inmates as mat.
ter of course, ARE more Or less liable to The nightly
depredations of what in plain, unvarr lshed
Engllshwe must call Bed Bugs. Now, know
very well that name might be used that would
have more agreeable sound to the refined ear,
but when we would have barefoot and golden
slipper alike TO understand what we say, we
must fall back oh our own vernacular
For few nights past, and especially since
the warm summer weather has visited us,
have been trying to study the nature and hab-
Its OF these Fostering little fellows; indeed have
taken great interest in them, and ais a result
Of my most careful midnight investigations, |
have Come 10 the conclusion that they are the
most sly, cunning little rascals Of all the vermi-
nous tribe that is to be found in doors 1t was
only last night that was reused from a deep
sleep, and from the burning sensation felt OH
my hands, neck, and shns, at once suspected
from whence 1t all proceeded; the attack had
been general one extending from head To foot
made haste to strike light and, il possible,
right there and then, ferret out my torlnehtors
hurried glance at tho situation revealed mol h.
Ing but scrupulously clean sheet; upon more
ia'NSbiEaAioht hoNeNei, away bii
side Of the bed, discovered about six long,
low, black, oval-backed, aud egg shaped indi-
viduals, just then apparently as harmless as
doves, that should suppose were amongst the
very largest of their species. / thought much
to know how they attained such large proper
tions SO early in the season. They had all very
quietly secreted themselves beneath the folds
Of the sheet, and it puzzled me considerably to
learn, how they had In so short a space of time
travelled SO far away from their recent and san-
culinary locality.
After making rather summary disposition
OF these unfOrtunates, l once more made an
effort TO surrender myself To morpheus; but the
recent conflict, together with the thought of
other and more hungry warriors emerging from
their ambuscade, drove sleep from my eyes and
slnmber from my eyelijs for the balance Of the
night As day began To dawn upon me, it
became feelingly evident that the enemy had
retired, and 4. six a. NJ when rose, all was
qaiet along the lines, with the dcfuncu bodies
of the vanquished lying IN and about the bowl
directly under the gas jets. ANON.

EXPENSE OF CITY CHoIRs.-Tle n. Y.
Ecenng Post publishes some facts In regard to
choirs in that city, which the lovers of COngre-
gational music might store up as arguments in
favor Of their views of praise worship. II says
'More money is spent in New York OH choirs
Than probably in any city Of the universe, not
even excepting London or Paris. The tariff of
salaries has been great enhanced of late. A
few years ago one thousand dollars was consid-
cred very large stipend for an organist, while
five to eight hun irPd dollars easily satisfied the
most eNartiny soprano. Now, however, here
are a dozen or more organists who receive from
twenty-five hundred to three thousand dollars a
year, and the average soprano THINKS herself
but poorly remunerated with thousand dol
lars. Ohe lady of eminence in the musical pro-
fsssion recently declined the offer of Eve thou
sand dollar salary from one Of our principal
churches. Two thousand dollars are paid in
several instances IGhars who last year sang
for a thousand dollars, this year demand and
recpiye fifteen hundred. Ddssos and altos, OF
eoursr share in the general rise Of musical val
ues. Musical taste has advanced in this city OF
hate, 50 that congregations are reluctant to lis.
ten to music which would have amply satisfied
them few years ago. They also seem to be
willing to pay fora hi. her class of performers
and periOrInanc es, and they lind their returns
in esowdtd ptw5. This perhaps, is placing the
subject on Il commercial rather than a religious
bas is, but facts are facts and cannot be over
looked. Chorus choirs with first class solo sin
gers ara now preferred to all others. Congre
t5atiUnal Music is an aspiration rather than q
realization
