There is no need of saying what he did

They went through the tearing up
process. very much as other people do;
and not being endowed with IN over

around for the twins.

work late that night putting up the
Kitchen stove and unpacking the dishes
and bedding. Tuesday was a day oil
many troubles. The babies were tired
and fretiul; daylight revealed a coating
Of dirt on doors and windows, the depth
at which they knew not before and the
heat was intense.
But the Deacon possessing untiring en-
ergv. and his wife the sunniest oil tenn.
pers. they succeeded So well that, by
Thursday night, rs he came into the
kitchen With sp armlal OF wood, where

singing:

Deacon went TO prayer-meeting for the
first time in c., took an active part, and
after meeting waited 10 shake hands With
the minister, aud some OF the brethren /,

He had the satisfaction of feeling on
his way home that he had made good
impression; it pleased him; it would
have pleased US; and he told his little
wife that night, in his grave way, he
hoped coming as he did in the midst Of
strange people, there might never be any
occasion of remark against him while he
remained among them.
I'm sure | hope not. Samuel" she
said. looking innoeently up in his face,
and adding as she nestled her little brown
head on bis shoulder. Il don't feel very
much alarmed about H."

Of chickens, which she sold for $3.50,
making in sll $3.50. She thinks the Do
niniques much the best for market. but
they are not hardy when young. She
has some young hens Of the Partridge
Cochin breed which weigh &. and &

attention to poultry, the profit being per.

THE PASSAGE OF TIME.

Only two years and half ago, the State Con
yention of the Democrats Of Delaware, solemn
ly resolved
"4....... that the Federal government and
the government Of the State of Delaware were
framed by white men, for the benefit OF white
mon, and that we are unaJerdbB opposed to any
association with negroes, politically, socially
agement of the affairs and interests of either the
State Or general governments"
They further resolved, as follows
-. They declare their inderiBle opposition to
ths so-called 70 urteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the Federal Constitution and denuuuce
them as frauds upon the people, imposed by
military power, exercised by corrupt Fedora
administration"
And then, they made this flaming and preten-
tioua resolution
't10.--They hereby declare that they do nol
and will not seek the negro vote, but will rely
exclusively upon the votes of white men, hereby
declaring that the Democratic party of tho State
OF Delaware is nOlC, as it ever has been. eXclu-
siyely, White Mans Party. y............"
And then, they followed that by this resolu.

men who resolved and proclaimed them, voted
for Horace Greeley, for President, two years

GOVERNOR HARTRANFrs INAUGURAL.

The inaugural address delivered by Governor
Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, yesterday, will
afford great pleasure and encouragement to the
good people OF our sister Commonwealth. 1t is
brief for the Governor is not diffuse man, and
the various important topics are treated of, con-
esely, and compactly. He will adhere to the
policy Of paying of the State debt, but he be-
lieves that with the increasing revenues, and
diminishing burden, the taxes may be reduced I;
he urges the encouragement Of the industrial in
forests proposes the establishment OF indus
trial schools for soldiers orphans after they pass
she age of sixteen an encouragement of the
militia an equalizing of the taxes on home and
foreign fire and life insurance companies and
hearty support of the Centennial Exhibition.
Upon the rate of interest, his recommenda
tions apply rs wen TO this State to Penpsylya-
mia. He says.
money will always seek the hgh hest rates, the
security being the same and for that reason it
now grayitates to neighboring States where the
legal rates are higher than our own. II we can
not remove our restrictions and make money as
free as any other commodity, at least let ue per-
NIT the same rate as allowed by other States,
and thereby retain it within our borders
But while these various expressions impress
US as eminently sensible and wise, there are
her parts of the Address which we read with
still greater pleasure. He indicates, modestly
and without o1fense, his purpose to maintain the
integ.;ty Of his official position, and to Iprotect
80 far as the Constitution places the power in
his hands, the rights and interests Of the people
He alludes in earnest language to the Zone
paramount and growing evil of special 1egisla
tion." and declares that he g. cannot condemn it
in language too strong He lntimates the fear
that, as it is thought likely the Constitutional
Convention may place permanent limitation on
such legislation, extraordinary efforts may be
made to force Questionable schemes through
the present Legislature. and .he urges increased
vigilance upon the members Of lthat body.
His expressions Il regard to the Financial
II 1st Of the State the Sinking Fund"-w''l be
especially welcome. This should, he declares,
bs kept inviolate, and unchanged in character,
and he plainly says that no law to impair or al
ter II can receive his approval.
Upon one other subject, he speaks with equal
fitness. The Pardoning Power has become, in
too many cases, public disgrace, and the Gov
ernor asks that some legislation shai be adopt
cd which will relieve the conscience of the Ex-
ocutive, and divide bis responsibility.
Governor Hartranft enters his high office
with the sincere hopes of the people that he
may discharge, uprightly and wisely, its duties
In those we sincerely join.

A New Horse Disease.

The New York Tribune says There is new
and disastrous epidemic prevailing among the
horses in the city which has already proved de-
rtructive to large number of animals The
disease is pronounced by the surgeons to be spi-
Ial meningitis, and is believed to be an out
Growth Of the distemper which recently afflicted
the horses 30 greatly, and a result OF imprudence
IN working them before they had fully recovered.
Every case has thus far proved fatal, and the
surgeons assert that there il no way OF prevent
ing the disease or curing the horses when attack
ed. No premonitory symptoms are exhibited by
the horses, which come out of the stable in ap-
parently perfect health but are attacked sndden-
ly and drop paralyzed in the street. Noresource
is then left but to kill them. So prevalent ID
this disease that Superini endent fairfield OF
OF the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails states that the officers of the Society alone
have killed AZ many as six or seven horses in a
day. No signs Of the abatement OF the new
plague yes visible, and it is feared that there
will be great destruction among the horses be-
fore it disappears

THE EXECUTION OF DENMs.--0n Friday, Will

the sc2ffold for an inhuman outrage upon the
person Of Mrs. Mary Thompson. He is in very
devotional frame Of mind and has been for some
weeks past, praying almost continually. When
first visited by his spiritual adviser, Rev. Father
DAILY, he denied most positively, his guilt Of the
crime of which he was convicted, but after an
interview between Rev. Mr.. Daley and Dennis
VICTIM he made no efforts to hide his guilt. Very
few persons have been executed in this State
who will go to the seaffold with less public sym

Confusion Among the judges.

The Pennsylvania Legislature has drawn a
Committee to try the contested eleetion case of
Charles T. Miller ue. Stokes L. Roberts. The
two gentlemen were, respectively, Republican
and Democratic candidates for Law Judge. in
the Judicial district composed of Montgomery
and Bucks Counties. Certain ballots cast for
R5berts were improperly headed, and though he
received the certificate of election, and entered
upon the duties, Mr. Miller contests the election,
and a Conn., 'ttee was yesterday drawn az noted
above
In the meantime, however, Judge Roberts,
after holding one term Of Court, resigned, about
two weeks ago. and Governor Geary has COM
mssionediRichard Watson, Esq, to fill the va
clncy until the next election. But, until it is
decided whether Judge Roberts was legally cho-
aeu, or whether Mr. Miller was, the status of
Mr.. Watson is in doubt and the whole affair re-
mains rather mixed. The former resides at
Norristown, the latter at Doylestown. Both are
good lawyers, and quite capable to fill the place.
