When she whispered the fsncies that suited her
She begged me I'd ever remember
That her feminine fondness most frankly In

To the tricks that decked out her December
With this glad inspiration l earnestly sought
To prove my faith fervent and loyal;

The Clothes, and the Shoes, and tho Trunks l

CANAL NEWS. The Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company, at eleven o'clock last Satur-
day night, succeeded 10 getting possession OF
all the shipping wharVes at Cumberland.
Some of the smaller coal companies com,
menced shipping coal at Cumberland by canal
to-day, but the actual reduction that has been
made in the cost of transporting coal by cana
to tidewater is so slight that the large COM
panies cannot as yet make it to their adVan-
tage TO commence shipments that way, and the
American Coal Company, having no intention
of an Immediate resumption OF shipments, has
given furloughs to It's boatmen.
Ii is understood that the Z. & .. company
will, 10 all probability, soon have control Ut all
the shipping wharves at Georgetown.
The water was let off the Alexandria canal
lust Saturday night 10 order to permit some
repairs to the culvert at the railroad bridge.
which having been completed, it was turned
on again to-day, aud the canal will be IN navl-
gable condition tonight.

ritorial Boards, eight men from the
untitled classes, six leading manufact.
urers and merchants, and the chief
civil officers of Moscow and st. Pc.

classes, child labor, the hours of labor.
the education of children of artisans
and sanitary improvements in the food

Outbreak among the Miners.

A despatch from Mauch Chunk re-
ports that an outbreak occurred yes.
terday morning at the Buck Mountain.
Eckley, Drifton, Jeddo, Ebervale and
Hazelton collieries A large number
OF miners started simultaneously at
Buck Mountain and Eckley for visit
to oil the mines in the neighborhood.
Inc disarmed the special police from
Philadelphia, stationed at Buck Noun
tain, taking from them sixteen guns
and revolvers. The mob then went
TO the Jeddo colliery, where policeman
King was shot and slightly wounded,
and policemen Warner and Meyer were
badly beaten with clubs. AT each
place they visited the strikers forced
tho miners to accompany them. Al
Mount Pleasant they had q parlev
with Mr.. Taggart, who is paying the
pasis of 1874, but it resulted amicably.
In the afternoon they paraded through
Hazleton, but after an exhertation
from Father O'Hara they quietly dis.

Terrible Suffering at Sen.

The Baltimore papers publish the
particulars of the rescue of 18 survivors
Of party of "a seamen, who left St.
Mary's F. N, on March Cd, to board 6
brig, which was ice-bound two miles
from shore. In trying to return, they
found that the ice had separated from
the shore, and they were afloat upon it,
Seven of the party were frozen to death
on cold night succeeding the acci
dent. Nine others got on separate
piece of ice, hoping 1t would float ashore
but it grounded and in three days six
of the nine perished from exposure. -
On the 9th, the three SURVIVORS were
rescued by schooner. The eighteen
remaining on the larger ice field re-
gained the ice-bound brig, where they
found some molasses, which served
them as food. The brig drifted in
sight of land for week and it was
ten days before the survivors were
picked up. Ten of the castaways have
arrived at Baltimore, in the steamer
Nurnberg, and will be sent to New
foundland by the British Consul.

Mr.. HENRY WILSON has uttered com.
sloeraoly more of his mind to casual
reporter In Washington than could be
picked out of his tlabby letter to the
Springfield Republican. He is now free
10 say, not only that the Republican
party is in Il decline which had hest
be arrested, and comes out with as
much emphasis as it is in the nature of
nim to lay on anything, against the
Third term. In these respects he ia On
sound that it Is ungracious to point
out that he is one of thirty or forty Re.
puDlicans each of whom believes that
ne ought of right to be the next Presi.
uent, and that there are not yery much
more than that number of men notent
IN 'the party" who have come out
frankly against the third term. What.
ever MS grievance, it is plain that Mr.
wilson does not like Mr.. Grant. This
IS scarcely noteworthy. There ia
hardly anybody who does like Mr.
Grant. Mr.. Wilson, however ia =.
politician, and though not a verv oood
one, he must have a reason for hit;nG
his his thumb at his superior in tbis
public and defiant fashion. The in.
terence must be that Mr., Wilson does
not think MIR. Grant very Formidable
considering that the Republican party
was never more strictly Grant party
lnan 1t was proved to be in the last ses.

Corresponding Of Tie Gazette.

Mr.. EDITOR: Last weeks issue O.
the Gazette arrived here on Saturda,
and its contents were Of more thar
usual interest to us. BY the way W,
consider the Gazette the best paper, fo
the news of the Peninsula, publish ed
In the State. The report of the pro
ceedings of the Wilmington NJ. E. Con
ference We were glad to see. We no
tice that number of the ministers
changed places. Doubtless some will
go to their new appointments with
glad hearts and smiling faces, while
others, to whom "the lines have no,
fallen in such pleasant places" will &c
feeling that it Is indeed sacrifice to
preach the gospel. Such are some OF
the joys and sorrows which go to make
up Methodist preachers life. But
after all, the itinerants system of fill.
ing the pulpit is, perhaps, the best
syetem.
We are always glad to hear of the
marriage of one of Delaware's noble
sons and fair daughters, especially
when they are happily mated. We
happen to be personally acquainted
with the couple mentioned by your
correspondent of Summit Bridge. We
wish them much Joy long and happy
life, and that they may be an ornament
to society, and blessing to the COM
munity at large.
30 the bill OF the Legislature to d.
vide New Castle county, was defeated
We say to the members of the Legisla-
ture, who voted against the bill. Ac-
cept our thanks. The citizens of our
county already have too heavy bur
den OF tax to shoulder, without increas-
ing it with the unnecessary expense
we would incur from the aforesaid d.
vision.
In our travels through different sec.
tions, especially in New York State.
We often hear our able Senator Hon.
L. f. Rayard, spoken of in the highest
terms, he is acknowledged by men of
both political parties, to be profound
thinker, and q statesman of the high.
est grade, second to none In the Uni
ted States. OF course it causes us to
feel quite proud, when abroad to hear
such enconiums pronounced upon one
OF our own citizens.
Inc WhtPpfny I0St, as an GnShtu-
ton OF our State, seems to be great
bug-bear to the people of other States,
who from their infancy have been ed.
1cated to look upon it as "relic of the
Dark Ages" and "hydraheaded mon.
ster of barbarism." Often we are ask.
ed. What State do you hail from ?-l
When we say Delaware invariably the
exclamation is, "Oh Yes, you come from
doaon there sohere they haze the sohippino
post" We try TO defend it and relieve
Il OF its dark features as much as DOS
'ible but we generally get cornered up
IN the argument. We wish the instita-
tion OF the whipping post was abolish
ed II for nothing else, that we might |
not be called upon, so often to defend |
t from being reproaeh to our peo-
Die.

From the N. Y. World.
The Cost of Rag Money.

| When Senator Sherman, at the enc
Of December, presented the eeuntr,
with the remarkably abortive Finan
cial bill Of his, which he styled the mos
precious Christmas gift that the natior
could receive, the price of gold wa,
varying from 1ll4 to 111A. Since the1
the price of gold has steadily advanced
to 1l6f. The average price of gutd
from the first of January until now
can fairly be taken at 114f. The fact,
properly interpreted, simply means
that consumers in this country have
been obliged to pay per cent. more
than formerly, primo cost, for all i'm
ports from the 1st of January, 1875, to
the Goth of March, q period of eighty.
five days.
Now let us see what this increase in
the price of gold has cost the people of
this country during these eighty-fvo
days; Our consumption of foreign
goods, for which we have 10 pay in
gold, amounted during the fiscal year
1874 In round numbers to $567, eco, =
700, and the duty thereon collected in
gold was sl60, 1855, 900. Assuming that
our imports for the fiscal year lS74-5
will be the same-and they promise 10
be larger-the amount of gold needed
for these two items will be $727, 1885,
700. If this amount be divided by 885
we find that the amount of gold daily
needed to pay for imports is nearly $2,-
O00, 900. AT this rate we pay for i'm
ported goods during the eighty-five
days from the 1st Of January to the
26th of March $170, ,000, 900 in gold, on
which we had to pay an average ex.
ira premium of per cent, $5, 100, 900.
But this $5, 100, 900 is only the extra
amount that the importing merchants
have had to pay. 1t may be fairly es-
timated, as the goods have to pass
through the hands of jobbers, dealers
and country merchants, that the con-
sumer has TO pay at least 80 per cent.
in profits Of the above extra S5, 1O0, 900.
The arbitrary depreciation of our ire
decmable currency since the people
got Senator Sherman's Christmas gift
has cost them at least Sc, 600, 900. There
is no getting around these figures,
whose influence has been felt in every
pound of sugar, coffee and tea con-
sumed, as well as in every dollars
worth of dry goods used in the United
States. 4nl

when so great decrease in waees occur'
