IHE DRUGdIsTs IN TROUBLE. Collector Prst-
lyman, of this city, is now engaged in making q
raid on the drug stores, and seizing a variety OF
articles which are not stamped according 10 law.
Under the provisions of a recent decision by the
Collector Of internal Revenue, (in addition to
proprietary medicines, perfumes, cosmetics, &c }
which are always stamp:d,) stamps are required
on all drugs or medicines, which are bottled or
packaRed in the stores, labelled and sold over the
counter as convenience may require. Seidleitz
powders alone are excepted from this list. Thus,
# articles are sold from the connteT, and labelled
at the lime Of the sale, no stamp is required, but
if On the contrary. the druggist, for convenience
shall bottle certain medicines, or put up certain
drugs in packages. labelling the same, a stamp il
required each bottle package before 1t is sold
over the cOunCeT. This ems like nice little dis
tncton, with very little difference. The drug.
gists, of course, complain greatly at the above dc.
cisiOn, and are casting about them for a remedy

ANusKlrENTs AT the Grand Opera House, last
evening, the audience which assembled TO witness
the performance of the Flick & Flock pAntomime
troupe, was somewhat larger than ON the preced-
ing evening, but was shll far from being as large
as the merits OF the performance deserved. AS
before, those present were greatly delighted, ana
testified their delight by continued laughter and
hearty applause. The performance was in every
way satisfactory 10 the audience, and all unite in
saying that better performance OF the kind they
never witnessed.
A good deal of comment is INDUCED in regard
To the fact that Maggie Mitchell will perform the
same roll of pieces she played on both former oc-
casions when here This is regretted, for althoug ID
evidently a favorite in Wilmington, It Is appre-
hended that the dullness of tue times, in connec-
ton with the fact that most of our people have
seen this fascinating little woman in all the roles
proposed, they will not spend the lime and money
70 witness them again.

{ A New York doctor has in his possession one of the most curious gems that has ever come before the attention of connoiseurs, and which is pronounced. by jewellers
 and others to be among the most exquisite of natures specimens.
 Experts in gems have been pug zled to give it a distinct name. It
 was found by. a Huron Indian or
 the shores of Lake Superior, and
 is compound of four classes of
 stones agglomerated together so
 as to constitute perfect gem of
 rare beauty. The stones com-
 prised in it are agate, carnelian,
 perite and crystal. Among the
 other remarkable features of this
 curious gem are the appearance
 upon each side as if from hand of an engraver, a resemblance to a miniature crown, the clearly de- fined form of a black .and-tan dog, the head of an owl, the tracings of the shores of little lakes, and other remarkable phenomena rarely, if ever, found in stones of | any kind.

SUFFRAGE IN MONTANA.-The last Montana Legislature passed a law declaring that "all male citizens of the United States above the age of twenty years, and 0W persons of the same age who shall have declared their in- tention of becoming such citi- zens," etc., shall have a right to vote in the Territory. This is construed to permit women of foreign birth to vote, while it ex. clude native.born women from exercising the same privilege. This condition of affairs was brought about by tacking an amendment to a former statute, and is probably a blunder, which will be rectified at the next meet ing of the Legislature. Several foreign-born ladies who have de- clared their intention to become citizens, in order to be qualified to vote at the next election.

Let the press see to it that

Let the press see to it that henceforth the appeals of those who are daily exposed to the hos tile Indian and have to meet him as he is, and not as he has been painted, are properly needed, and let our common humanity protest against a rOse-water policy where experience has abundantly shown that absolute force can alone be effective. The truly manly and Christian treatment of the Indian is that which shows him in the quickest and most unmistakable mannec that the Government is strong enough to make him keep the peace, and means to do so.- Washsngton CD.
