THE DELEGATE ELECTIONS.

We give elsewhere full reports of the delegate
elections held on Saturday, While most of those
chosen from New Castle county, outside of VIII
mington, are in favor Of the policy Of nomina-
ting Governor from this county, in order &c
more effectively support the claim for EquA
Representation, nearly all in this city are chosen
in opposition to that policy. There was an ear
nest contest and very strong and important
minority of the votes polled we're in favor Of the
New Castle county ticket
All the consequences to follow it is not nov
easy to perceive. Although the reports from
Kent and Sussex Indicate that a number Of dele
gates from those counties have been chosen il
opposition to the nomination Of Doctor Juml
for Governor, it is scarcely likely, considering
the character Of the delegation from this city
that any other sction will be taken at George
town. tomorrow, than his selection as the can
didate of the party. Whether Mr.. LohAnd vii
also be re-nominated is less certain.

Anna Dickinson's Intentions

A paragraph has been in circulation to the
effect that MISS Anna E. Dickinson has given
up her plan of going to Europe, meaning to
spend the summer in Swampscot that she il
writing history Of her life and experiences for
publication. We have authority for the state
ment that Miss Dickinson has not given up her
intention Of going abroad, but is delayed by the
necessity Of finishing a book for which she il
under contract. This book is In no sense a
''story of her life,' but chronicle Of certain
experiences and adventures in her lecturing
tours, amusing and otherwise, with record Of
one summer spent in California and another in

AnIpcident xyi,b a mora,

Some years ago, when defalcations of bank
officers we're not so frequently made public as
at present. young gentleman WAS invited tenn
porarily to fill the place Of an absconding teller
Of a prominent bank, who had neglected to
square up his accounts before leaving One
day not long after check for large amount,
signed by the president Of the bank, was pre-
sented at the counter by one of his clerks. The
president had no such amount on deposit, and
the clerk was politely informed of the fact by
the teller, and that OF course, the check could
not be paid. 'But it must be" said the clerk /;
II cannot help that" said the pro tempore off,
Ger, ''there are no funds to meet it" "I'll see
il you won't pay it, said the clerk, who at once
carried the dishonored check to his principal,
then in the directors room. That official hasti-
ly appeared behind the counter, and in no gen.
tlemanly manner demanded why his check had
not been paid. mo funds' "That makes no
difference. You know 1 could make it good in q
few hours. You must pay it." ''Sh shall pay
no check unless the funds are here tO back it,

Sir said the teller, Il am held responsible for
that money, and If you touch dollar Of it, you
do it at your peril But when my accounts for
the day are made up and accepted you may take
the whole for all l care" The president used
some very strong language and retrested to the
directors room, and told how ''that impudent
fellow" had refused TO honor his check. A brief
talk with his associates showed him that the tel
Ter was right. One of the directors who had
funds loaned his check TO cover the emergency
as the presidents note for ten times the amount
would have been promptly discounted If he had
asked it and the teller, supposing his time was
up, carefully prepared his accounts before the
time for closing, and presented them TO the
president, saying he supposed he was 70 leave

Banks Making no Money.

The Boston Traveller says Some Of the
banks in Boston are finding it hard work to make
their regular dividends. Those banks that do a
large collection and exchange business, like the
Shoe and Leather and the Exchange, are max
ing money, but the majority Of our banks-those
who have limited number Of deposits, and
confne themselves 10 business Of discount,
and are obliged TO carry a large amount Of dead
paper for long while, are not making money
rapidly. The Boston system Of banking il en-
trely different from that Of New York and other
large cities, and, while il is safer and does not
yield 10 the temptation Of large dividends it ex-
Actly meets the wants Of the business communi-

How the New African Sea will be
Made.

There are in Northern Africa lakes known by
the name of chotts, which run dry at certain
periods Of the year. A chain Of these chotts
the first Of which is only separated from the
Mediterranean by sandy downs, extends as far
IS Biskra to the south Of Constantine. The last
Of the chain being q metres below the level of
the sea, it is thought feasible, by cutting the
sand above the chotts to admit the waters Of the
Mediterranean to this series Of lakes, and thus
form a salt water lake at the southern extremity
Of the chain important enough TO admit Of the
creation Of seaports. From these advanced
posts, says the author Of the report on this
scheme, 1--WE should watch the nomadic tribes
Of the south. The numerous and rich cases Of
the Souf and the Oued, only nominally subject
TO US, would fall completely into our power. Our
colonization would extend TO the south Of Con-
stAntine as surely as it is established on the
Mediterranean coast" A bene6cent change OF
climate is also not the least Of the advantages
promised by this bold scheme, the first step to
the realization Of which has already been taken,
the Bey Of Tunis having been requested BY the
society TO allow survey Of the country to be
made.-S1iss Times.
