Notes on the state Canvass,

4 letter from st. Georges assures US that the
Republicans of that Hundred expect to give
good account of themselves next Tuesday. Mr..
Cochran is not popular in his own neighbor-
hood.
At the Office of Mr.. Bewley in Smyrna, there
was recently conversation about four hundred
tax receipts that could be had for Mr.. Cochran
by the payment OF q sufficient price. How about
them, Mr. Bswley? We're they genuine? Who
il it in Wilmington that sells Democratic tax re-
ceipts by the hundred?
The Seaford Citizen, a neutral paper, describes
the mass meeting of the Democrats held on Sat
urday, and says it passed of very qnietly--no
body disturbed it in the least. But on Wednes-
day evening, the Republican meeting, addressed
by Major Lotand. was grossly interrupted aud
disturbed by rowdieH, whose conduct, the CuizeR
says, ''was simply outrageous Now which par
ty committed the outrage, do you suppose
The Sussex journal represents Senator Bay
ards stay at Wormley's Hotel, in Washington,
as merely "empoying colored man as his
cook" This is an entirely untrue representation
of the cane. Mr.. Wormley though n colored man.
knows how to keep hotel, has made money at
the business, and received Senator Bayard as
his guest, in the usual manner, the Senator ap.
parently preferring his company to that of the
white hote-keepers of Washington.
All accounts from Sussex agree in represent
ing the prospect there as very hopeful.
Inc people DO not believe IN taxing man on
all the property he owns, and also upon all the
debts he owes, as is done under the Bourbon
rulo in this State.
Sam Townsend, the Milford Ne,os says, has
disguised many people by his profane abuse OF
citizens who were born in other States, whom he
calls Northern Hel-hounds
John W. Causey, one of the Wing candidates
on the Democratic ticket in Sussex, for Senat or,
has undertaken the job of proving to the citizen'
OF that county that they have the best system oi
public schools that is known. This is a big under
taking for small man.

The FranIsrord & Breakwater R. IL.

APPEARANCE OF NEW TRouBLEs-THE goARD OF
DIRECTORS REFUSE TO RECEIVE THE RoAD FROM
THE CONTRACTORS.
The Sussex journal says
The long afflicted Breakwater Il Frankford
road is in new trouble. Messrs Crumlish q
Griffith had completed their part of the work
and the engineer gave them certificate to that
effect, and at a meeting of the Board this week
Mr.. Stirle was removed, and the work is
refused. We do not know the objections
whether il be that the work il not done
according to contract or that the depot
and other work not given out 10 Crumlish has
not been completed but the newly appointed Gu
gineeer has gone down over the road and if he
ia not discharged compromise or law suit
will surely follow. There never was u road
built in the United States where there was 80
much fussng and disagreement and everybody
will be glad when il is over.

Mild Winters.

The mildness of the present sea-
son, says the Pail Nall Gazette,
though unusual, bears no COMPARE
son to that Of some winters "long
gone Bly," In ll72 the temperature
was go high that leaves came out on
the trees in January, and birds
hatched their broods in February.
In 1889 the winter was equally
mild, and the maidens of Cologne
wore wreaths Of violets and corn
flowers ut Christmas and on Twelfth
Day. In 1927 the trees fiowered in
the month of March and the vines
in the month of April. Cherries
ripencd in the same month, and
grapes appeared in May. In 1872
the trees were covered with leaves
in January and the birds hatched
their young in February, as in ll72;
in 1885 the same thing was repeated,
and it is added that the corn was in
the ear at Easter. There was in
France neither snow nor frost
throughout the winters OF 1888,
1907, 1905, 1917 and 1869; finally,
in 1862, even in the north of Ger
many. the stoves were not lighted,
and trees blossomed in February.

Lippincott is a handsome woman
at least she is to those who prize
the meaning above the mere shape

pale. Her eyes are hazel, deep set,
bright, and, like all hazel eyes, they
vary with every emotion. Her face
is strong, and its character is deci-
dcd by the beautiful eyes and fore
head; for her mouth bellies the
strength Of her mind. She is tall,
but stoops little as is the wont of
authors. She has in her rooms a

has retired from that paper, with
which he has been connected since

quarters but compositors rejoice.
His "hand write" was most fearful
ly and wonderfully made. 1t is said
there were only two or three COM
positors in the Office who could set
his manuscript, and it was . stand
