TIE IcE CREAM BUSINESS IN WILMINGroN
The Commercial thinks that Wilmington
consumes about 900 gallons of ice cream
per week. Nine establishments manulac-
ture It largely, the most extensive being
Robnson's, on Market street. 1t gives the
following interesting facts:
lee cream varies very much in the price
per gallon, generally ranging from Sl.25 to
$l.1j, and in some eases $500. 1t is how
ever fair to make Sl.j0 the average which
would net the handsome sum Of 81 $50 per
week as the cost of our little cooling. The
small dealers generally buying from the
larger ones their sales would not increase
the figures above given.
The materials used IN the manufacture
of ice cream are so costly that if gallon is
made of the purest and best articles, there
is not much money in it at Sl.77j per gallon.
The vanilla bean imported from Spain, and
which is the most popular flavor used, cost,
$2S per pound. and even lemon extract
| sometimes almost costs that much. ChocO
late, and the flavor from the different kinds
Of berries, and from peaches, are cheaper
Pure cream costs s. per gallon, and will
make three gallons of ice cream, and the
pulverized sugar used ranges in price, 10y
wholesale, from 9 to II cents per pound
| The quantity Of ice used is hard to arriy,
at, but our informant (Rohinson) states tha
| he uses about a ton and Il half a day. at
| cost Of s. per ton.

According to the Dover Delpcmeans ac-

much afraid of the Dover club. Poor boys,
we pity them! Oh we are 50 very sorry
they are so afraid Poor, poor smyrna |!
But then they cannot help being afraid,
poor boys by the way, now we think Of
it, Dover has beaten the poor boys so often
Tin Il horn that every game they ever
played they gave ball to Smyrna. Not
once in eight years has Dover won a game

much afraid of them until they have won
one game from you or some one else. :

p THE Toledo Democrat makes an ex.
tensive report of the business of Toledo.
In giving an account of the Second Ma
tional Bank at that place 1t states that
Der cent. free of taxation is semi-annual-
~ divided among the stockholders. This
- equal to "A per cent. per annum, call
ing the taxes 2 per cent. But this is not
.n Al. The The Ss1s Ssas las a surplus capital
made up from the profits, OF $1S5,OOO,
which is equal to 81 per cent. on the
$3.50, 900 of paid up capital. This puts the
profits Of that bank at over 20 per cent.
We have all the time supposed that all
the banks in our cities (and most Of the
hank capital is in the cities) made at
least 20 per cent. The report of the
Comptroller of the Currency puts the
dividends at about per cent. semi-an-
nually, and leaves the inference that ten
Der cent. per annum is the limits of their
profits. The Comptroller does not say
.!'exempt from taxation" and the surplus
l4"kept dark.n The truth IL that the
people have been paying the expenses of
TIE Comptroller's Office while that offic Q

How He Got Attention.

A smart citizen of New York, wishing
to recuperate after prodigious efforts in
Wall street, paid a visit to Saratoga
Springs. 1t was the height of the season.
Hotels crammed with guests; walters
insufficient in number, and therefore not
obliging. The New Yorker seized upon
likely man.
"Look here, you fellow, do you see this
five dollar note? Well, II you take care
of me while / am down here, guess
you'll see it again."
The waiter bowed, rubbed his hands,
and otherwise showed his appreciation
of the bargain. At breakfast and at din
ner the citizen had the best of the en-
trees and the quickest supply of liquor.
His clothes were brushed, his boots
shined, his wink anticipated, his oaths
admired, Al the end Of ten days the cab
Was at the door, with baggage packed
therein, and the citizen stood ready to
make tracks" for Wall street. AS he
entered the vehicle, his eye lighted on the
walter to whose devotion he was indebt-
ed for a'pleasant holiday.
"Hallo, I guess you're the man
showed that five dollar note to. Well,
told you If you took good care Of me you
should see it again. You did take care
of me and"-producing the note-''here's
that very same note; and now / advise
you to take a pretty good stare at it, for
it'll be tarnation long time before you
see it again. Wake up, coachman, else
we will miss the train"

THE venerable Franklin Institute, of
Philadelphia, has received severe blow
by the dishonesty of the Commissioners
for making the awards. 1t appears that
articles of inferior merit were preferred
TO those of decidedly the first excellence
and, of course, the exhibitors of merito-
yiOus products were thrown into tu-
,multuous condition of boundless indigna.
tion. 1t has been the town-talk ever
since the show; and it is being noised
abroad to the serious prejudice Of the
Grand Centennial which Philadelphians
are preparing. II the old Franklin In
stitute has become corrupt, what can
save the people from suspicion that the
fntetpational show in that city year
snd half hence will also be corrupt?
We regret the depravity of that Institute
because of it's founder. 1t seems to us
That Old Ben Franklin in the spirit land
feels like making a ghostly dash at the
Iascals and lashing them out of his In.

COMING TO OUR PLATFORM.

Hon. Amasa Walker, whom the En-
@uirer vouches for as the foremost writer
On political economy in this country, has
Deen compelled to somewhat change his
views on the money question. He now
lAyors greenbacks as against any other
paper money, and insists that the legal
tender attribute should not be repealed
until the greenback is nearly or quite on
. par with gold. To repeal the legal
fsnder would be to violate the obliga-
tion Of contracts, because it would d.
ninish the paying power of the notes.
He says that presumption will take
place when the banks and the Govern.
hent are ready for it and not before"-
and no resumption can be sustained un.
IN paper is on par with coin, and that
70 law or resolution of Congress can fix
ne day when 1t will take place.
Mr. Walker is also opposed to ihe con
traction Of the greenbacks. When they
Shall be at par with gold he wants te
know why they should not be kept in cir
sulation, and save interest on the
amount of bonds that would be required
= redeem them.

A Centipede in the Bed.

Two gentlemen residing in st. Angus.
tine were startled few nights ago by
loud screams proceeding from room oc-
cupied by a lady member OF the family.
Inquiry ELECTED the information "that
there was centipede on her bed" The
gas at the time was turned down quite
low, but the men could see the insect on
the bed, and, doubling towel several
times, clutched it tightly to prevent its
escape. One of the gentlemen was some
what of an amateur scientist, and de.
sired ardently to preserve the centipede
for specimen. Accordingly, the cap
tured insect was carried in the towel to
drug store. The druggist poured chlo-
roform on the towel to stupefy the crea-
ture and to prevent thespossibility OF it's
escape, and one Of the clerks stood by
with an uplifted club, to strike it should
it attempt to get of. The towel was
opened, and the expectant lookers-on
were astonished to find that all the fuss
had been made over little strip of'cal
leo.

THE Chicago Inter.Ocean is singularly
inconsistant. After rejoicing in the last
Congressional stupidity as establishing
free banking, it says:
The retirement of greenbacks costing
nothing, and the filling Of this vacuum
with national bank notes costing the
country five and six per cent. per annum,
{ssued to a favored class, is a proposition
kttle better than robbery.
"Robbery,"i is it? Then why do you
rejoice in the prospect Of extending the
s'robbery" by free banking? "Robbery,"
itis, and worse than simple robbery-it
IL complex robbery. 1t robs the people
Of the to 6 per cent. in the first in
stance, and then the act Of incorpora-
tion and all the government investiture
Of the banking system combines and
oonsolidates the power of the strongest
for the purpose of wholesale robbery
Of the people in all their industrial and
business relations. The government
creates the bankers monopoly.

Cleaning Paint.

There Is avery simple method of clean
ing paint that has become dirty, and il
our housewives should adopt it, would
save them great deal of trouble. Pro.
vide aplate with some of the best whit
ing to be had, and have ready some clean
warm water and piece of flannel, which
dip into the water and squeeze nearly
dry; then take as much whiting as will
adhere to it, apply to the painted surface
when a little rubbing will easily remove
any dirt or grease, after which wash the
part we'll with clean water, rubbing il
ed looks as we'll as when first laid on,
without any injury to the most delicate
colors. 1t Is far better than using soap,
and does not require more than half the
time and labor,
