at It.
One day this week a lady. probably
fifty years OF age, went into Mr.. August
SchuSter's store and intimatcd she would
like to look at some shoes" The first
lot shown didn't seem to suit, and while
Mr.. Schuster obligingly turns to pull
out another drawer full. she steps to the
door to ''See if her horse is Standing
On returning she couldn't find anything
t, suit and she goes forth carrying Il mys-
FERROUS looking sack. Simultaneous with
her going out Mr.. Schustcr missed IL pair
o fshoes, and stepped into Dobbins', where
she WAS Cooking over" some garden
seeds. and here she seemed equally in
capable Of finding anything to suit.
After quibbling about paying for the
shoes, she finally made IL virtue of ne
cesSity and planked wei the cash.
Subsequently she went back and wanted
+" exchange the shoes saying they
wouldn't Int. She was informed she had
taken them ut her W risk. and must
try and make them fit. Although say
ing she would take no seeds, she after
ward dropped IL or two packages.
She is quite elderly, and from her ap-
pcarance no would think of suspect
ing her honesty. We are told she is
well connected. She is old enough to
know better.

MILFORD, August 25.
The long looked for and long wished for rain
has come at last come, to the great joy of all.
But it is to late for forward corn. The long
drought has ruined a vast amount of vegetables
and corn in some localities On high lands, the
corn was entirely ruined. Some farmers COM
menced cutting their corn down last week. 1t
is certainly discouraging to our farmers to lose
the peach crop and then to have such a short
corn crop. On Sunday night and yesterday we
had fine rain which will do considerable
amount of good to the later corn and.vegetation.
Business of all kinds is pretty dull, there be-
ing no peaches and at leisure time Of the year
a great many laborers are out of work, with no
prospect until fodder saving.

as elsewhere.

MORE HANDS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS DEPARTMENT
THE CENTRE OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. GOING ON.
About 85 hands went to work, this morning,
at the new city basin and over hundred more
were waiting around to get employment. Cap
tain Gallagher is butonholed all around, and
no matter how often he shifts his position, all
anxious crowd soon surrounds him He il put
ting the men to work as fast us picks, shovels
and mattocks are provided. Draining. blasting
boulders and digging up stumps is the work now
going on.
Whites and blacks are working harmoniously
together, and interminglng with each other ap-
parently without thought of miscegenaton
Work and bread is the uppermost thought in the
minds of the laborers, and 80 far as they are
concerned theoretical politicians may go to the
winds.
It is somewhat novel, and decidedly an lnsat-
isfactory thing 30 far as our industrial condition
is concerned, to zee a frstrate shp-joiner, a
carpenter, blacksmith and representatives
from all kinds of trades, with picks and shoyels
in their hands digging up stones, and
cleaning out ditches With sleeves rolled up
and pant legs stuffed into boot legs, they go to
work with vigor which far outstrips the push
of those raised to the pick and spade. These
men are a class of our best citizens who simply
are going to do the best they can rather than be
idle. The excavations proper have not been be-
gun yet but will be, as soon az everything is in
readiuesR

THE FAME AND WATER WITCH STEAMERS LIKELY
TO BE JOINED IN ANOTHER CONTEST.
Several members Of the Fame Hose Co., act
ing independent OF. the organization, have col
lected purse of 81, 200 among themselves and
determined to challenge the Water Witch to a
trial of the forcing abilities of their steamers.
Last night a committee from these gentlemen
visited the Water, Witch engine house, and there
submitted verbal challenge to the members
who were present. The date of the trial named
by the challenging party was next Wednesday.
There is Il disposition among the members OF
the Water Witch Co., but we can't say anything
of its extent to play the Fame Hose Co.'s new
steamer, which has not yet arrived, but the chal-
lenge presented last night is regarded as entirely
informal and without the authority of the Fame
Association. The Water Witch claims 1--WE use
the word because the Reliance does the same
thing) to be the champion company in the de-
partment and OH a former occasion it won VIC
tory over the Fame with lts old steamer which
was broken during the trial.

The Coiored People and Social Equal
Itys

MASS MEETING, LAST NIGHT, AND EXPRESSION OF
oPINIoN-socIAI EQUALITY NOT DESIRED AN
'EQUAL CHANCE" ONLY DEMANDED-AN ADDRESS
TO THE ooLoRED PEOPLE OF THE STATE.
The colored citizens of Wilmington held a
Mass Meeting, last evening, at their hall,
Seventh and Walnut Streets, which was not large
but enthusiastic and demonstratve.
Joseph G.. Walker was called TO the chair and
Mcpherson johnson was selected secretary.
At the Instance of Stephen l.. Nichols the
chair appointed the following committee on reso-
lutions Daniel B. Anderson Stephen L. Mich
ols Daniel p. Hamilton, Levi B. Anderson, aud
Joseph II. A. Myers.
During the retirement Of the committee the
meeting was ably and earnestly addressed by
Rev j. II. Thomas. Stephen p Gibbs and An
drew Henry, II. tho speakers urging unity of ac-
ton and purpose for the success of the Republi-
can party and the State ticket.
The Cammttee on Resolutions reported the
following which, after some favorable remarks,
We're unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, The colored citizens of the city of
Wilmington, state of Delaware, in mass meeting
assembled, do again assert their unalterable de-
votion to the great principles of human liberty
which through God called the great Republican
party into existence, to give to all men the same
civil, political and public equality without dis
| tinction of race or COLOR therefore,
| Resolved, that in advocating these principles
we have neither claimed nor desired the social
equality of different races neither do we claim
| it now, and all that the Hon. Eli Salisbury said
in his speech on Civil Rights, saying that we do
desire such is false.
| ResolUed That we neither desire nor seek the
invasion of the rights of the white people we
do not ask special privileges, but only an equal
chance in the race of life and that all public and
common rights be equal-nothing more nothing
| less We are sensible of the fact that every
mans home is sacred from intrusion, and in
this free country every man can dictate for him
self, the line of social exclusion-that society
gavo us laws more inexorable than statutes in
common law, and opens and closes its doors to
whoever it will, and civil law cannot invade it.
| Resolued. That in view of these facts we re-
commend the appointing of committee of five
on an address to the coored citizens of the
State, setting forth both the necessity and
probability of a general organization throughout
| its territory
Daniel p. Hamilton, w. H. Clayton and s. L.,
| Nichols were appointed committee to nominate
a committee ON address provided for in the last
resolution, aud also to report officers for an or
| ganization.
The committee reported D. b. Anderson, S. L.
| Nichols, Rev. ]. II. Thomas, ID. p. Hamilton and
j. II. A. Myers the committee on address, and
deferred the nomination of officers until anoth
er meeting.
The meeting then adjourned until Tuesday
| evening, September 9th, to hear the report ol
the committee on address and to elect officers.

Taylor at New Castle.

HE BECOMES QUIET AND UNcoMMUNIcATIvE.
Since Taylor has been lodged in the Jail at
New Castle, his bravado has all deserted him, and
he now appears to be downhearted and appre-
hensive. When addressed, he answers coolly aud
sometimes sharply. He declines to say anything
in regard to the circumstances of his dealings
with Mackey during the ride from Newark, but
still proclaims his innocence Of murder.
This morning he ate his breakfast in moody
silence, refusing to have communication with
any one, and when asked how he felt in regard
to his approaching trial seemed much moved but
replied that he WAS not afraid but that all would
come out right.
1t now appears that his boast concerning his
ability to obtain funds for his defence and the
employment of counsel amounted to nothing.
NO PRELIMINARY HEARING
will be accorded Taylor at present, unless his
friends undertake to procure his release by u
habeds corpus or in some other way. The re-
QUESTION granted by Governor Ponder was is
sued, of course, after charge had been made
against Taylor under oath, and this is supposed
to be sufficient cause to hold him without an ex-
animation. Attorney General Lore, whose term
expires very soon, is unwilling to work up the
case, unless there is some necessity for it, as his
successor will be required to try the case, and
he thinks that probably the new officer would
prefer to sift the testimony for himself. This
may, therefore, be among the first acts of the
new appontee

liam Robbins grandfather. Since then the old
buildings and a part of this tract have continued
in the hands of the family, enjoying Seasons,
by turns, of prosperity and adversely. The fam
lily has not occupied the old homestead
any considerable time since the emancipa-
ton of their slaves ten years ago. To
hire the necessary amount of labor to cultivate
the farm, Capt Robbins thinks is not justified
in the compensative revenue of the disposable
crops. They therefore rent the farm, and reside
in purchased property in town. And let one
