Ancient Fairs.

Fairs don't belong exclusively to our day and
generation Such gatherings were known in the
earliest stuges of history. Jacob doubtless had
an eye to the cattle show when lie put those
striped sticks in tile water trough. Jacob played
very mean game on old Laban that time, and
we think the reviserH of the Bible ought to fix up
that chapter. 1t has bad effect on farmer boys.
But to proceed. In the earlier times fair days
were occasions OF great harity among the hon
est swains. Amusing shows held FORTH and
tumblers and mountebanks furnished fun for the
people. Sir Robert Walpole sought the fair 10
study human nature and the drift of popular
political opinion. This explains why aprants for
political honora in these days always at all the
fairs, their heads prOfuse with hay-seed and all
their boot-leather in full view. Walpole il the
original political fair seeker Fairs were at first
markets, and merry making shows were only in
cidental accompaniments. One of the most
noted fairs of England il the Charlton fair, held
October H. This was called the horn fair from
the fact that everything on display was
decorated with horns. The OK was sacred in
medimval times TO st. Luke, and it IL
thought thissfair, from being held on st. Luio's
day, was dubbed 'horn fair" 1t was IL season
of rare license, the men being allowed to appear
IN female attire, AZ they liked, as all il "iair Mt
horn fair" In these days fairs have no COM
merclal Character, being mere competitive exhi-
bitionss sOf fine stock and industrial products and
country Atyle.n We believe in fairs. We feel
at homo IN them. What rarer sport than that of
bidding off cheap whips, airing your teeth in
front of fruit stands. gazing into the pacific
depths of the gentle OK eye, ETC., without cent
inyour pocket These pleasures compensate

''hay on his horns" lie has special reference,
as none can doubt, to the disciples of Wapole.
Kind rural friends, the voice of tho dead poet

There are many ways of being what is called
ramshackle Probably most persons think ram
shackleness is a mere form Of sloyenliness; but
this is not 80. 1t would be far nearer the mark
to say than ramshaclieness is naturalness, II is
the mdHiere detre of the noble savage in polite
society. There il something of it in Gothic archi-
lecture, and it has always been present in small
quantities in English society, but very seldom
pure. No man can truly ramshacke who is self
conscious in the sense i grant you very old and
twisted sense, but still sense in which the word
ID often appled-in the sense of caring to attract
notice. We have always lad in this country a
breed, or several breeds, Of ''eccentrcs, as they
are called. You may read If them in queer old
volumes entitled Eccentric Biographers" re-
lating chiefly to rich men who went about in the
same SUIT for twenty or thirty years clever la
dies who made a point of. having holes
in their stockings disappointed lovers who
never washed their faces, or allowed
their rooms to be busted bucks who minced,
or stalked up and down Bond Street in pale scar
let or torquoise blue, or some other astounding
color. But these are not true sOndtriiaqs, OF
eccentrcs; they are diiettdnti they did it in or
der to be stared at or talked about, Just as
Abenethy made trade OF giving rough an
swers to fine ladies who laced tight, and false
dyspeptics who might have been well if they
had chosen. No born ramshackle was ever a
dilettante at it. True ramshackleness il nature

THE SUSSEX COUNTY DEMOCRACY.

The ticket for county officers nominated by
the Sussex Democracy is good enough to COM
pei the Republicans to select list of tirst-eass
men, on next Thursday, but yet weak and inhar-
monious enough to be beaten by proper effort.
The nominations are the product of various To-
cal partisan contests which were won in some
cases by one faction and some by the other, and
they are not the we'll matured arrangement OF
the two. The ticket will not help the success OF
Cochran and Williams on the contrary, it will
contribute to weaken til sir prospects.
Other circumstances of encouragement are
Joined with this to produce united earnest ef-
fort amongst all the elements of the Republican
party throughout the State with the bright as.
surance that success may be won. The WORD
sent I'D from the country districts is in every
case full Of hope, and all eyes outside are nov
turned upon Wilmington to see her do equal.
