DEMoI Ratio MEETING IN CHRISTI
Ana llrNDRED.-On Saturday evening
an unusually large and enthusiastic
meeting of the Christiana Hundred De
mocracy was held at Toys Hotel on the
BrandyW inc.
The meeting was addressed by lgna
thus G. Grubb ESP, of Wilmington in
an earnest and forcible speech of an
hours length.
He argued that the present Radical
party WAS not entitled to the further
confidence and support of those who
had hitherto supported it because 1t
had been rcpudiated hy.all its oldest
and ablest leaders and best class of vo-
iers here and elsewhere and had become
the PARTY of Democratic renegades and
unscrilpulous office holders and office
seekers.
He then proceeded Ia show how il
had ruined the South by debt and tax
alton and misrulc and.so.brought finan-
| rial panic and ruin to the banker, manu-
farturcr and producer of the North
and consequent distress and loss OF
employment to the workingman of thu
country.
At tic close of Mr.. Grubb's speeel
the meeting was addressed in an elo
quent and powerful manner for over al
| hour by Col. Wm. G Whiteley, wh'
discussed the nature of the Civil Right
Bill and the iuinous consequences o
the disastrous negro policy of the Radi
cal party which he denounced In scath
ing terms. The speeches excited tn
deepest interest and made a profoun
impression upon the large assembling
of workingmen present. Altogethe
the meeting was Il marked success an
showed that the people of Christian
Hundred as wellas in Wilmington an
throughout the whole country wer
alive so the necessity of breaking an
destroying the power of the bad me
who have been ruling the country t
, | its utter ruin. At Il late hour the NEE
ting adjourned with enthusiastic cheer
for the speakers and candidates of tn
4, Dcmo cratic party. A

Maltby. When the lamented Judge
Baglcy thripped and fell down the
courthouse stairs and broke his neck,
it was great question how to break
the news to poor Mrs. Bagley. tut
finally the body was put into Higgins
wa, n, and he was intrustcd to take
it t. Mrs. Rasley, Int to be very
guarded and dis Greet in his lar guage,
and not to break the news to her at
once, but do it gradually and gently.
When Higgins got there with his sad
freight, he shouted till Mrs. Bagley
came to the door.
Tten he said, "DOcs the Wilder
Bagley live here p
.The Widow Basley. No, sir"
'.I'll bet she docs. But have it your

OLD NEISELN LAST POKER
HAND.

The hest poker hand we ever heard
Of was held by old Weasel the Other
night. Weasel Didn't know mucl
about poker, but he wanted to learn,
and every now and then the party
was playing euchrel he would show his
cards and ask if that wasn't good
hand. Once or twice lie bet, but some.
body always beat him, because he
knew so little about the game. After
a while, as Weasel was dealing, and
when he had thrown three cards
around to each one, he stopped and
looked at his three. lie looked a good
while. Then he got excited.
"Now, ] know this is a good hand,
I've learned something about poker in
the last two hours, and I'll bet e25 on
these three cards. It's just the best
hand l ever saw
Jones had beaten Weasel on this
sort of a banter already, and SO he
took up his cards. He had three
aces-a pretty good hand for three
cards. Nobody could have full Of
fours, and his three were the biggest
in the deck. lie bent plying smile
on old Weasel, and said II think Eve
got something pretty good here but |
couldn't bet less than $50 on it. We
are not playing poker, you know, and
these outside issues are irregular.
bet 2jO.'
'Done" said old Weasel; "what
have You got!"
They put up their money, and then
Jones showed his hand.
''Here'S three aces, YOU old mutton
head! You can't beat that with any
three cards OH earth. You ought to
know better than to-"
''Hold on cried old Weasel, throw
ing down the king, seven, and ten OF
hearts. ''That's Il flush, amt it? When
you've got all of a suit that's a flush,
l believe; and a flush always beats
threes. don't know much about po-
ker, but it seems to me that I've got
the best hand out Of jail"
Jones had forgotten about Pushes. |
In fact, the whole party rather under
rated old Weasel, because he was a
religious man and not supposed to
know anything about cards. But
they kept 4 very watchful eye OIL him
after that, and ifhc spoke Of poker
hands they all insisted on sticking to
the game they were playing.

The Latest Launch.

At an early hour ON Saturday afternoon
large crowd had gathered at the Dry
Dock to witness the baptismal plunge of the
J. I. Case, one of the largest and zines,
vessels ever constructed in this city; bu,
owing to the storm which occurred on Fri
day night, the launching was delayed until
nearly dark. Notwithstanding this delay,
the crowd, instead of growing impatien,
and dispensing, seemed to increase in size
as the time sped by. and when this Eian,
mass of live oak was ready to leap from
her ways to the waves a much larger throug
than usually gathers on such occasions had
collected. The vessel has been built for
Knapp 6 Case of Racine, and is designed
for the wheat trade, running from Milwau-
kee and Chicago to Buffalo. Its cabin is
a model of taste and convenience, and has
been furnished in the very best style.
The winGiass and apparatus fer hosting
and managing the anchor is ct English
manufacture, and is, we believe, the only
one of the kind in use on the hikes. l, is
claimed to have many points Of superiority
over those in ordinary use Rand & Berger
have certainly maintained their reputation
as hrst class ship builders in the construe
siou Of til. na.uissgn. rss.si.
