DOVER, Jan. 27th.-It seems strange
that, although the present is the fourth

ton has been sent to either branch, prey
ing for the srccess Of any one Of thu
numerous reform measures that have heef
introduced. Unless the Senate Is soon

needed, they will know that they did theiI
part and that the Senate failed in Its.
It Is high time the Legislature was re-
minded, through numerously-signed peti

next to impossible to get justice in THE
respect, of course; yet petitions would
refresh the memories of the gentlemen
composing the honorable bodies " and
remind them that there are those who still
igitate the great question of representa-

CARRIAGE BUlLDISG.-Tho Harness and
Carriage Journal says;
The large number ofcarriages produced
in the United States during the past five
years, together with experience gained as
o the qualities best adapted to the wants
If our people, have induced many manu-
faclurers to advocate a change IN the
quality Of work produced. We have
always taken the position that greater
amount of good work might lie turned
out, with profit to the manufacturers and
advantage to the community, and we hope
% see the proportion OF fine work largely
increased during the coming season. That
4 change from the common TO the medium
and fine grades would be advantageous
there can he no doubt. The history Of
those ilrms who have given attention to
the production of the better classes, fully
confirms the position taken by us In our
advocacy of this grade Of work, and II
affords us much satisfaction TO note the
prosperity of manufacturers who thus aim
to elevate the standard OF quality in goods
made.
In this connection ii Is with pleasure
that we announce that Mr.. Jones Guthrie
" Co., Wilmington, Del, have, during
the past fail, built Il large brick addition
TO their carriage factory 55 by 50 feet,
three stories high, and are now running
eight fires on fine class of light work,
principally on pony phelons and buggies.
OF pony phetons they make a very extern
-ive variety and in great numbers. They
build them on two. TIRES and sc "
springs, with two or four seats with
ranopes and shifting tcpsOr without tops.
They claim that they are building NOR
line pony plWtons than any other house 10
the United States. They are also making
specially Of fine buggies aud road wagons,
on spars and elliptic springs, and are nov
offering to the trade class OF this light
work, Of tine grade, like that built by a
few leading manufacturers in the larger
cides. They have employed A. Fleglcr tC
superintend the aue buggy department Of
| their business.

A wTLMISGToNIAN IN THE WRsT.-Some
fourteen or more years ago Mr.. John
Shaw, who had carried on business in this
city, on Market street, above Third, on
King street, and on West Fifth street,
went West" and settled in Minnesota.
He engaged in business, prospered, and
accumulated enough capital and credit to
build the Merchants Hotel In ST. Paul, of
which he became landlord. It required
faith as well as means to build it, as it
was on a scale beyond the supposed needs
of the city then, but that faith has been
justified and rewarded by splendid sue
cess, aud Mr.. Shaw has Just retired FROM
the management Of the house, which he
has leased for a term Of years at sls,O0C
per year, aud has sold the furni ure TO the
new tenant for $4,000. Mr.. Shaw's man,
| friends and acquaintances in this city viii
doubtless rejoice in bis splendid success.

DOVER, Jan. 29th.--Notwlthsta
the intense cold, Dover tonight, is a
lively as a cricket. Large parties are on
the street, although the walking is most
abomiuable and the eloquent John O'Byrne
is !, curing to Il large and intclligt mt audi
ence, on the interesting subject, "The
Crusad s." Each train TO day has brought
here large parties, some as lobbyists, others
as disinterested spectators, aud the down
train landed at the depot, tonight, quite a
large delegation Of Wilmington politicians,
Who have come hlther in the interest Of
several bills.
Some opposition Is being manifested
against the passage Of the bill incurpor-
ating the Maryland and Delaware Ship
Canal Company. Two or three local
| lobbyists are working hard TO defeat the
act Of Incorporation. The character Of
their opposition, however, or the extent
of their influence, is not yet known.
The House bill Increasing the number
| OF Trustees of the Poor for Wilmington
| hundred, came up In the Senate to-day for
a third reading. As il was a measure In
which Wilmington was Interested, It was
| killed by the decl i've vote of sto l-Mr.
Riddle being the ouly one who voted In
the affirmative.
Mr.. Clark's bill requiring the lender OF
money on bond and mortgage to pay the
State tax imposed on TIE same, instead OF
the borrower, was defeated 10 the House
to-day. Nine members voted for it and
eleven voted against it. Lewis Thompson
and Messrs. Clark, Silver and Marls spoke
In favor of Its passage, but their unanswer'
able arguments did no good.
That bill introduced by Mr.. Hickman TO-
day designed to prevent bribery at thu

THE HETHEN CHINEE LEARNING TO
SMoKE.--A New York MaHletter tells how
a Chinaman learned;to smoke cigar: As
the puffs curled out from his lips his
face was wreathed in smoke and smiles
He took it out and in silverv accents
said, Him good" Here pause and
more puffs of smoke. ''Him heap
good Another pause and the puffs
more rapid. Him bully heap good"
Yet another pause and he put one hand
up to the cigar. Go Him berry bully
heap good" Here both hands went up
and the silence was broken by "Him
big berry bully heap good" And then
a change came over the spirit of his
dream and his face changed from pie
crust to dust and ashes, and things as
sumed tinge no longer celestial but
cerulean until, with a gesture indie
scribable in its expressiveness, he slowly
enumerated, Him muchee muchee big
berry bully heap good, but me no berry
we'll here" Here he took washing
basin, assumed an attitude indicative
of digestive disarangement, and-let
history draw veil over what followed.
