valuable paper.
The few words Of advice you rave the
Democrats OH Saturday afternoon in ref
erence to the parade was good advice
indeed, and l have no doubt but what
the marshals took the hint. But the
Republicans must not misconstrue your
words as words of fear, las heard one
make remark to that effect myself,) be-
cause L know, as does every other Demo
crat in the State of Delaware, that the
GAZETTE is not the paper to fear any
thing.
When we started out in the evening it
was with the determination to conduct
ourselves as white men and Democrats,

the great numbers which enrolled them
selves under the white mans banner on

The negroes which were imported on
Saturday to raise a disturbance in tho
evening were greatly disappointed at the
ill success with which their project was
crowned.
Probably they learned, as great many
others did, that we were all prepared for

Newspaper Safe.

The change in tho ownership of the
Chicago Tribune creates some excitement
in the Northwest-sucha an agitation in
political circles as shows the power of
the newspaper press. The startingt oe-
the new administration organ, the Repub-
Tic, in New York, is mere trffle compar-
ed to it. The Chicago Tribune now may
be looked npon, under the editorship of
Mr.. Medill, as Republican Grant pa
per, opposed to third term, perhaps, at
present, but like all the other purely po-
litical Radical press, ready to support it
rather than bolt if the issue were forced
upon it. The ranks of the independent
press have been steadily growing, and
this is the first important detection. The
value OF the Tribune stock is proved by
the fact that the shares which gave Mr..
Medill control of it were bought on a
basis for the whole paper of an estimate
of one million dollars. During the ten
years before the panic it paid yearly
profit of ono hundred and fifty-three
thousand dollars. Since the panic its
receipts have of course been less, but
what they have been is unknown. 9th
er Western papers-some of those of St.
Louis for instance-are held nearly at
the same valuation as the Tribune.

A coIored mai named Elijah Prates
was charged with having given shelter
to these fugitives during their stay in
this State. Prates denied the charge,
but he was arrested and tried at the
April term 1859 of the Kent county courts
for aiding q slave to escape the service
Of James K. Lofiand, Esq, and by the ef-
General, convicted, and he was sentenced
to be sold as a servant to the highest
bidder for the term of seven years, and
he was committed to tho custody Of the
Sheriff of the county, who subsequently
made the following return:

gentleman Of Dover who knew the
man before he was arrested described to
IFS the sad scene attending his sale--
Prates had always been free, was good
and industrious mechanic. and he bowed
his head into his manacled hands and
wept bitter tears as he sat on the Court
House steps listening for the fall of the
auctioneers hammer, which would be
the knell Of his liberty and tho signal for
his separation from his family and his
friends.
After his return he declared that he
was about to be sold in Richmond as q
slave for life, when he himself announc-
ed from the block that he was a convict
sold only for o term of years.
We think Mr.. Loaa9d, who had this
bought him South, might very well point
to this record to prove that he did not
vote for the Civil Rights bill from any re-
gard for the negroes.

Thus it will be seen that during nine
months of this year there was falling
off of 105, ,6S4 emigrants as compared
with the preceding three quarters OF
1868, and 40, 542 as compared with the
same period of 1872.

quota of emigration. But this is not
all. During the summer steamers were
crowded with outward bound passen-
gers, working men going home to Eu-
rope to seek labor which here they
could no longer find. Now, the reason
of this national misfortune is laid at
the door of the panic of 1878. That
panic is to the Republican party what

"You will find it in the Temple, where
"the tyrant is allowed olive" &c. &c
But suppose there is reason for laying
our distress to the panic brought on by
Jay Cooke 81 Co. and Henry Clews q

The truth is, we are declining il
every branch of industry; hundreds o
thousands of artisans and sturdy work
ing men are tramping about our larg
cities, paupers, out of work. New
England is pauperizing her labor stil
further by only giving her artisans two
thirds of work. Our export trade il

HOiU to Cure Dyspepsia.

DR.. Brown-Sequard's method OF
trcatinn dyspepsia, which he has found
successful in the majority of cases
during ten years practice, is on the
principle of eating little, but often.
Take from one to four mouthfuls al
once, but eat again in ten, twenty el
thirty minutes. Use nourishing food
and drink, as roasted or broiled meats
and Especially beef, mutton, eggs
well-baked bread, and milk, with but
ter and cheese, and a very moderate
quantity of solid food for one day
should not exceed forty ounces. Thi.
plan need be pursued but two or three
weeks, when return may he had to tn
ordinary rule of three meals n day
By this method the stomach is gentl,
and steadily occupied, but not over
loaded.

Gatherings In the South.

There has been much written lately
that is very dubious about political gath
erings and conflict of races, yet there is
one class of gatherings all over the South
about which there is not even the shad-
ow of doubt, namely. gathering for the
purpose of purchasing the remaining
of the Public Library of Kentucky, to
come off November 80. The South has
been impoverished, and reasonable
share of that S2,5CO,000 then to be dis
tributed will be very acceptable. t-eod3t.

The Re,noyaI of DrU Putty.

According to an English journal, the
difficulty of removing hard putty from
window sash can be obviated with great
readiness by simply applying piece of
hard metal, such as a soldering iron or
other similar instrument. When heated
(but not red hot) the iron is to be passed
slowly over the putty, thereby rendering
the latter 30 soft that it will part from

The acorn slips 10 its messy tomb
Is creaking in the wood;
The vine. like some tired Mtened lies
Thirsting for rain with weary eyes,
Stained by her own bright blood.
Soft mists at times foat down the hills
Before the wind that lightly fills
The purple gorge above;
And creep along the food. the vale,
And die in sunlight fair and f all
As human life or love. .-
And darker shadows kiss the stars
And mount upon the shining bars
OF summers waning light;
While gusts OF mOurnful music break
From hollow winds that stir and shake
The sounding halls Of night.

HerOism In Humble Life.

Sunday evening about dusk colored
man accompanied by his wife, both OF
whom had been working for Mr.. Baptiste,
a market gardener living about mule
above town, undertook to cross the river
in a skitf. The boat was leaky and rotten,
and by the time it reached the middle OF
the stream it was full of water and in
alarmed, and jumped into the river leaving
his wife to save herself the best way she
could. On the other side of the river were
two cOlOred men named Green johnson
aud Wash Brebour, who had been watch
ing the scene with great anxiety and earn
estness. Mr.. billiard, a planter in the
neighborhood, and in whose employ the two
men were engaged remarked, !" 1t ID
shame TO see woman drown
The words had scarcely passed his
lips before both men leaped into the
water and swan towards the sinking skiff
and drowning woman. Green johnson was
the first to reach the boat, and leaning to-
wards it guided it to the shore. When al
most within reach of land, Wash Brebour
who had been behind came up and caught
hold Of his comrade by the neck, pullin g
him under the water, they both rose when
johnson gave the boat push towards the
land, and turned to extricate himself from
what proved to be the death grasp OF
Wash, who had his arm firmly entwined
round the neck of the other, who cried,
Don't hold me so tight, don't hold me so
tight" His cries, however, were unavail.
ing, and about the time the boat reached
land and the woman stepped on shore in
safety, the despairing exertions OF Wash
had so exhausted his companion that they
both sank to rise no more. Both BODIES
were recovered yesterday afternoon and
inferred to-day.-Shrereport Southwestern,

shot.

The steamer Seminole arrived in port
this evening, having on board wounded
man named Theodore Smith, who was shot
near the Hutchinson place. We obtain the
following statement from Captain Matt
Scoyell The Seminole was hailed yester-
day morning at the Hutchinson place, and
the CAPTAIN was informed by Mr.. Hutchin-
son that there was man lying on the bank
shot; that there was no physician near and
he wanted him taken to Shreveport. from
Mr.. Stringfellow the captain gathered these
facts: A man By the name OF Smith, from
Shreveport arrived in the neighborhood
Saturday hunting one Of a band of thieves
that had robbed him at Linman's beer gar
den, of an overcOat, pair of shoes and sum
dry other articles. Smith was soon joined
by one Warren, the thief overtaken and
shot, the ball entering his side and ranging
down. Warren, it is alleged, did the shoot

Smith. his first name being Theodore.
The wounded mans s:oryi is about same
as above. He says his name is Theodore
Smith: is a German; speaks bad English;
was working at Llnman's beer garden;
when he got ready to leave says he took
Smiths new shoes and left his Old ones in
place OF them. He says he was overtaken
by Smith and Warren, placed on horseback
and started back to town, when Warren,
without any notice, shot him in the lett
side. He fell off the horse and his captors
left him for dead. This occurred Sunday
night about ten o'clock. The wounded
man says he was not connected with the
parties taken off the steamer Texas; he says
he feels the ball in his stomach, but does
not seem to suffer much. at the time OF
receiving this information he had not been
seen by a physician, but Captain Scovell
does not think he is severely wounded
