DIRTY BUSINESS.

Ete7y Ete'aing is fast gaming unenviabie
reputation. 1t has frequently and unjusty as
sailed the character of gentlemen in manner
unbecoming public print. And when done
as 1t is, under cover, and in preteuce OF uttering
popular sentiment, is assuming n cowardly ad-
vantage that should be condemned.
Gentlemen in private life are referred to in the
language of drab, that is OF the most offensive
character and utterly at variance with tho truth.
One might suppose the conductors were imlnacu-
late, and had been appointed as Censors over the
manners and morals OF the people; when in fact
they have not lived long enough to acquire a rep
utation for honesty of purpose. They remind us
much Of the old "Blue Hens Chicken For
long time it was utterly regardless OF what it
said about people in its "non-partisan" columns;
but would correct Its errors at least With polite
ness and in an apologetic way; while Eee'B
Ecening does it in as illiberal and meagre style
as possible.
Its reference to John ". Hall, Esq and Gov
einor James Ponder in Saturdays issue, was
just of that vile character which petty newsra-
psrs resort TO that desire to make all public men
fear not 10 patronize them; be danbed with
their filth. John w. Hall is one of the most un-
obtrusiye men of his county, and 30 far as we
have ever heard, truly honorable gentleman -
He has been urged by his friends as a candidate
FOR Governor, and has right to receive the con-
gratulations Of the people of his neighborhood
and If they desire to elevate him to the Chief
Magistracy of the State certainly that is no rea
son that he should be spoken of with detracti0n
by Erety Epenng. Nor has Governor Ponder
done anything of which his friends and his party
are ashamed In his appointments he has mol
conformed to the wishes of all OF his party iriends
and some may feel disappointed at this. Noi
could he III this matter baye satisfied all. In al
his transactions Governor Ponder has maintained
an honorable bearing and is as free from amy
thing dlsreputable as gentleman to day as h'
was when he took hs seat III the Gubcrnatoria
chair. We think for the credit of journalism
Epc'y Ecen,,tg should stop its dirty business II
the future, and not attempt II aspcrse the private
character OF every gentleman who may regard i
as sort OF "Swiss guard that shows its owl
want OF brains in casting upon gentlemen an,
aspertion that may be whispered over Its counte
by any low fellow that holds u spite and seek
this mode Of venting bis malice against fellow
citizen.

RAILROADS As STIMuLAToRs OF Prices
The manner in which railroads enhance the

less than 100 men began grading of the Chesa-
peake & Del, X. X. eastwafdly from that town
to Harrington, but the prospect for its early
completion has so Increased the value d real
compared with prices of only a few weeks
ago. For instance Capt. T. ID. Case bought a
tract of land for 81 200 which only a few
weeks ago was sold for 5000, and Amos Herr
has sold for $4,000 portion OF tract which
he paid $l2, 900 for, entire only few months
ago Real estate has been very low in this

We have no doubt but tho time viii come when
the County will be divided il is not to be expect
ed when Wilmington shall contain population OF

New Castle to transact their loyal business, The
County will eventually be divided or the Cou,t
House will be transferred from New Castle TO VIII
mington.-Repa6tsean.
Don't be 50 certain of that, neightor. The
fashion now is for the great cities to annex oil the
adjacent towns; and the time may come before
you are aware of 1t, when Now castle will annex
Wilmington and thus save all the trouble Of that
transfer. At any rate We are quite sure that the

HUMAN LIFE.

tied ION the Relative influence os
City and Country Life on Morality,
Health, Fecundity, Longevity, and
Mortality" by John Stockton-Hough,
NJ. D. The more important facts given
serve to show that in the matter Of
morality health, fecundity, lOngevi-
ty and mortality, the human race fares
better in the open country than in
crowded cities. The American people
are much given to crowd into cities,
while the English pursue an opposite
course. A residence in cities develops
. nervous temperament which Is Of
ten fatal to health, and agricultural
pursuits have a tendency to co0nteract
this evil. The mortality Of cities is far
greater than in rural districts and viii
lagos, and consequently the duration
of human life in this country IS short
er now than it was seventy-five or
hundred years ago, when people gen.
orally dwelt in the county. The chief
sufferers from the i'll effects Of city life
are the very aged and infants. In New
York City, of the 365, 500 deaths report
ed during the fortv-nine years ending
1883, 50.49 per cent. were of
children under five years OF
age, and the proportion of deaths or
infants in Chicago from 1913 to 1869
was about the same. General Walker
gives the mean average duration ofhu-
man life in the United States at 39ll+
years, v lille in New York and Phila-
deiphia it Is only % years, or IS years
health. In England in the agricultural
districts co. in every 100 living attain
As years; in the four great cities of the
saint country only lis. AT the pres
ent time fully Is per cent of our popu-
lation live in so cities, having from TO-
600 to l,OOO,OOO each. The article gives
further statistics to prove that the lux
uryand vice which flourish most rank
ly in cities u~nfavorably affect longevity,
and that in the United States the birth
rate is gradually decreasing in mar
riaSes where the husband and wife are
both Americans.
