Amusenients.

IMMENSE SUCCESS OF " LITTLE NELL"
very large audience was present at the
Opera House, last evening. The building was, in
fact, literally jammed, persons occupying the
asles, sitting on the steps and in the windows,
ard standing up Over two hundred persons, II
is stated, had to leave, without obtaining adms-
sion. Such crowd we believe has never been
seen in the Opera House.
The performance gave great qualification, in
most particulars. The little actress who is the
star OF the affair was greeted with immense ap-
plauee, and the Fame Hose Company in the fire
scene, produced enthusiastic outbursts.
This evening" the same play will be given, and
another immense house is expected The sale
of seats, at this writing (l1 oclock) is larger
than up to the same time yesterday, for last ev-
enngs performance.

DOVER AWAKENED.
The sluggishness of the Capital was moved to
an Unusual degree, yesterday. by the arrival OF
the Legislators, and everybody seems to have
something on hand of Importance.
BUTToN-HoIIN AND coNFERRING.
Botton-holing commenced at an early hour,
and was kept up till the meeting OF the Demo-
cratic caucus at q late hour in the evening.
From the 'long faces" and earnestness Of man
der in which the little groups Of members here
and there we're discussing matters, 1t was very
evident that there was something sitting heavily
on their minds. '- ~
TWO DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS DISQUALIFIED.
That something seemed to grow in its proper
tions as the honrs wsned into darkness and the
rumor became prevalent that there was trouble
ahead. The trouble, it appears, grew out of the
ineligibihty of two membes Messrrs 5hakspear In
the Senate, and Shelldrake in the House. These
gentlemen, 1t is now generally known,
are contractors for the U. 3. Govern
ment and cannot conscientiously take the
necessary oath. The ousting of these members
would RESULT in new election, which would
consume both time and money.
SHORT SESSION EXPECTED.
The impression is gaining ground that the
work of the Assembly will be completed In about
six weeks, aud there is prospect Of such re-
suit being accomplished.
TaE ORGANIZATION

working order in a day or so. The Governor

ready any too soon.

DEMANDING SOMETHING FOR Wilmington.
[From the Delaware Gazette, Jan. 81
Wilmington with AZ, 900 Inhabitants has not a
representative in the Senate of the State and
il she had a representative there, then she would
ave none i'll the House. Such state of things
ues not exist anywhere in the United States out
ids OF Delaware. We defy the opponents of
he rights of the people of Wilmington to show
lis city i'll any other State, with similar pop
ulatiOu that is placed et such disadvantage.
Ii is simply intoerabe, and no man having a
proper sense OF right and justice should persist
m donying us greater representation. To do it
ID to assert determination to do us wrong and
an injustice, of which all who have honesty in
tlier hearts will blush at continuing, if there is
fair and open road by which it may be reme-
nied, without doing injurysto any other part of
the State. And that there ID one we have shown
IN previous issues of the Gazette by quoting from
lne Constitution Of the State wherein the Legs-
iature is enabled to increase the representation
of each House by two-thirds vote whenever it
may be adjudged necessary.
WILMINGTON CANNOT CONTROL THE STATE.
Wilmingtonif given all that the most demand
ing stlckler for equal representation has asked,
could not have more than one-fourth of the rep
retehtltlves, and supposng they were all fro,n
one party and all for one interest, they coul /
Is feet nothing without the concurrence o. tue
climbers from the rural districts.
OBJECTION TO DIVIDING THE COUNTY
Several years ago it was proposed to divide
Aaw Castle county into two counties, in order to
make representation more equal. This would
most likely fail in producing the desired result
laose who propose it have in view, while it
and cause the people of the county the expense
Of additional office-holders, and the cost of new
county buildings, which would probably produce
debt of fifty or sixty thousand dollars.

The Battle OF The BnIi-frogs.

following story, which was currant
i'll New England some years ago:
MANY of the citizens OF Vermont
will remember to have seen one-dol.
lar bills of the Windhlm County
State Bank vigne:te representing
bull frogs fighting. This was en-
g1yed to commemorate the Battle OF
the Bullfrogs The facts were az
follows; Many years ago when tho
town of Wndham was newly settled,
there came very dry season. There
are two large ponds in Windham.
separated by an intervening strip Of
land OF considerable extent. Each
of these ponds was inhabited by a
large community of the reptils above
named. The smaller pond ariei up.
and its inhabitants started in body
ior the lower and larger pond They
were met in the intervening spaceby
the community from the largsrpond,
and fierce and long continued bat
tic ensued between the rival COM
muninos. such was the hideous
believing of the frogs during their
fierce encounter that it alarmed the
inhabitants, who at first supposed it
to be the whoop ofthe hostile sava-
ges. But curiosity getting the bet
ter of their fears they cautiously pro
ceeded to the spot whence the hid
eous sounds issued, AMI there bsheld
the strange spectacle oftwo immense
armies OF bullfrogs covering many
acres of ground, engaged in fierce
and deadly battle. This battle con-
tinued more than twenty four hours,
and when it was over the ground was
literally covered with tho slain. aud
