nIuIsInN DOES NOT DIVIDE.

The sudden collapse of the Division PROPOSE
ton. yesterday, was rather surprise, as there
had been no public iutimation that the vote was
to be taken so soon. Mr.. Bird, however, called
his bill up, and had it knocked down, in short
order, and while the newspaper friends of Divi-
sion we've still printing columns of argument in
behalf of their measure, it lay sacrificed bant-
ling on the floor of the House, receiving only
eight votes out of twenty one. and scarcely get
ting more than one-third of the whole number,
instead of the two-thirds which it needed.
The measure never had any strength with the
people, To number of our citizens it ap-
peared to be the best thing that could be done,
under The circumstances but to the great maj or
ity OF people, both inside of Wilmington and
throughout the county, it was entirely unwel-
come and unsatisfactory, being likely, as they
believed, to bring more and greater evils in its
train than those which it proposed to remove
The members of the Legislature from the two
hundreds which it was proposed to throw in
with Wmington-Mr Handy from Brandy
wine, and Mr.. Riddle from Christiana-were
both strongly opposed to the proposition, and in
that simply reflected the feelings of their con-
stituents. The almost perfect unanimity with
WHICH peOple Vi Two iuHNItu5
the VIII Die proposition may be sufficient warning
for the future, if ever the mischievous scheme
is revived.
The action of the Legislature sufficiently dis
proves the allegation that its members were
friendly to the division Of New Castle county
On the contrary, after the spirited efforts made
in that behalf, with all the influence of the Gov
ernor asserted to be- on the side of the propo
sition, with the eloquent speeches made by the
delegation that visited Dover, with the quasi en-
dorsement of the unfortunate Board of Trade
with the "free discussion" and ''auti gag dem
o strations. and all the accomplishments of gong
beating and squib-tiring but eight members Of
the House out of twenty-one could be induced tc
vote for it, Many citizens who joined in supper
of the measure did so because they believed tina
the Legislature desired to adopt it they acted
Ar they thought. Ill response to intimations sen
up from Dover. But it seems that the messen
ger who brought the word must have been mis-
taken.

seemed to me more like "Neptune

other products of the great deep,
tho her Ma, who was brought up
on the farm, will have it, "tis a

the theatre and taking to a pipe
Instead of cigars. It is an ancient
trouble, and runs down through
all the grades of society. Mr.
Cresus' thousands owed at the
great stores perplex him no more
than do the unattainable score or
half score of dollars due the grocer
that his poor neighbor may be
shedding hot, salt tears over now.
1t is these little incomes, indeed,
that are subject to the severest
strain, and that seem the least pro-
portioned to the out-go called for
by the wants of the family.
After all, there is only one way
to keep clear conscience and a
sweet temper In this matter. 1T is
an old, old lesson to preach, bnt it
is the one safe rule for life-and
that is to pay as you go. John
Randolph called it the philoso-
piers stone, and advised his fell
low-members of the House of Rep
resentatives upon it. Pretty near
ly everybody who is being tor
mented with his debts of the year
to-day will once more make this
good resolution among many 9TH
ers, and some few will keep it,
They will buy nothing they cam
not pay for, and not spend as much
as they earn. They will be the
happy people during 1875, and
when the new year becomes the
old year, there will be.no skeleton
head at the holiday table, and the
1st of January may come without
bringing fear and misery with it.

Some one who has been viewing
the Siamese jugglers says: zone
trick which Minhman performed
was very superior version of the
mango-tree feat of the Indian Jug
glers. He took an orange, cut it
open, and produced a serpent. This
he took down into the audience,
and borrowing a robe from one,
cut the snakes head offand cover
ed it with the robe. When the
robe was lifted again a fox was in
place of the snake The fox's head
was cut off, two robes borrowed,
and when they were raised, there
was a wolf, which was killed with
a sword Three robes, and a leop-
ard appeared; itiwa slain with
javelin. Four robes covered a
most savagelooking buffalo, that
was killed with an axe. Five robes
covered in part, but not altogether
a lordly elephant, who when the
sword was pointed at him, seized
Minhman by the neck and tossed
him violently up. He mounted
feet formost. and finally chung by
his toes to the capital of one of
the columns. Tepada now leaped
from the stage and alighted
upon the elephants shoulders
With short sword he goaded tn e
beast on the head, until shrieking,
the unwieldy animal reared
ulOn his hind feet, twined his
trunk about one of the great coll
umns, and seemed trying to lift
itself from the ground and wrap
its body around the great pillar.
The music clashed out barbarous-
ly. Norodom flashed forth daz-
zling fireworks of some sort, and
the elephant disappeared, and Te-
pada lay upon the stage writhing
in the folds of a great boa constric-
tor and holding up Minhman upon
his feet"
