| was hurried so much in my last
letter that did not get to say all
wished to about those bull-fro gs.
lou may think that ! am partial to
bull-frogs. | am and don't care who
knows it. | dreamed dreams that
night. We have all dreamed but gen
| orally they are unpleasant dreams.
\ on have dreamed of being chased by
| demons, shot AT by savages, bitten by
| mad-dogs, fighting, scratching, loving
and Il thousand other things. | cannot
say that any of these are pleasant, but
the dreams had that night were all
| right.
slept on springs that night but |
did not dream | was jumping and
had downy pillow, in a great big bag,
rutiied, licked, puffed pinked and
scratched. thought | had got into II
bridal chamber, but the waiter-boy
| said it was all right, that it was the
| only room.
Feeling quite good as far as interval
circumstances were concerned, / laid
myself down, slept long sleep, and
dreamed nice dreams all about bull
frogs and every other nice things, and
| awokc next morning, turned over,
stretched myself out, rubbed my eyes,
and thought of what had dreamed.
II told You all about it, it would take
a bigger book than ~. p, i" of Peters
burg could write about humbugs on
the Fourth of July Mt Dover.
Next morning the young lady next
door asked me if did not have room
mate. said NO Why >" "Well, y
said she, - heard you talking all night, "
80 ~ said that is nothing new :
| always talk in my sleep"
She then pretended that she had
heard all said. But she could not
fool me, know these girls Since
my arrival in Delaware, many have
congratulated mc on my bull-frog
fcastS ard hey could well congratu-
| lH,e me, for they had been there them
selves, and they were glad to see one
who could appreciate something good
| IN the eating liue
| went from Sidney Plains to Delhi,
| in the county known hy that sweet
namc-Denwarc, and the source of
that very beautiful river Ivy the same
name.
The Delaware river rises about fif-
| teen miles above Delhi in small Lake
| two or three acres large. The stream
of course, is small here, as it also is
even below the Water Gap, which we
have had the pleasure of passing sev.
| rral times. We must say that this is
| the most rolling and heautifdl and, at
| the same time, une of the most produc-
tive countries we have had the pleasure
of visiting. Hutter and cheese are the
staple products
Each farmer has from ten to iifty
| CONS, but the men do all the milking
" hen | told them that the women
milked all the COWS in Delaware, they
seemed surprised, and thought TIA, it
was the mems business ~ M,lk. That
is cur opinion. We shink that the
women have ,nough to do without
milbiu, COWS, cutting wood, DIGGING
pOtatots and Il hundred OF Ter things
thai men should do. To hear some
men talk you would think that the
women do nothing shame on them.
We think with the auti.women IL suffrage
men that women have enough to do to
attend To the natural contingencies
and the little circumstances of the fam
| lily
We attended an Agricultural Fair
while in Delhi, during that rainy wea-
ther two weeks ago, and, of course, it
was not very pleasant; yet the town
was crowded and the people could
scarcely get cnouEht to cat. 1t remin-
ded me Of some of the big times at Do
yer
While there we heard from the plaza
a little courtship in one of the private
parlors, in which, after the course of
human events sbe lover having to de-
pars, he repeated these very beautiful
| words
Ellen. darling, ere we part.
