WoN'T APPLY FOR LICENSE. - 1t is said that
number of the saloon keepers Of this city who
have heretofore made application for license
and been refused, will not apply any more, but
will continue as they have been doing, to sell
without license 1t is also said that some who
have up to this time been paying for their Ii
cense, will not apply at the approaching session
of court, thinking that, as no person is prose-
cutAd for violation of the law, they might as
well save thor money. On the whole, these
seem to be reasonable conclusions, under the
circumstances.

The SUPERINTENDENT AT REuoBorH.-In a
very short time the term of Rev. j. Is. Quigg,
as superintendent Of the Rehoboth Beach Camp
meeting Association will expire, and as that
gentleman is now Presiding Elder of tho Will
mington District, Wilmington Conference, the
superstition is that he will not be candidate for
reelection. We understand that the friends
OF Alexander Chandler, of this city, will
press his name for the position. In the event
OF his selection the Association will have OBJ
tanned a capable officer, and one whose practi-
cal knowledge will be Of great service. We have

REV Mn. PHGBus AND THE STATE SUPERIS-
rESDENoY.--on Saturday last Ex-senator shak-
speare and J. A. Fulton, ESD, Of Dover, waited
upon Rev. DR.. Phnbus, of this town, to induce
his acceptance of the position of State Superin-
tendent Of Public Schools. The Dr., after some
hesitation. consented that they might present
his name to Governor Cochran. Ex-Speaker
Stockley, of the Senate. and others have also
written the DR.. pressing letters, urging him to
accept the Office.
Since the above was put in typo we are inform
ed that the clause IN the State constitution
makes clergymen ineligible to civil office only
| while IN dctiue discharge of ministerial or pas
torsl duty. Thus, a minister not actively en-
gagged in his calling-not filling pastorate-is
| eligible to u civil office. Such is the opinion OF
/. o. Grubb, secy Of State, We are informed

EVIDENCES OF REvrylNG lSDusTRY.-One OF the
most substantial indications which we have of a
revival of industry in Wilmington is the spec
tacle which the long Ines of mechanics present
when leaving the various large establishments
at noon aud night. After the lapse Of so many
months of dullness it is very gratifyin G
sight to look upon these swarms. At
the H. & II. Co. : there is probably as large a
force of workmen engaged in the shipyards at
at any previous period, and on the eastern side
of the town there arc also constant additions OF
force being made to some of the establishments
! there. The result is that the men who have
been'standing in the market places idle, have
abandoned them, the throngs at the depot have
dispersed, and whichever way we turn We be
| hold evidences that the working men of the ci
| ty are returning again to the workshops.

A Man Tack Bur A sHREwED one.
The Stamford Conn AdrOo1ie relates
the following; "a trick that can only be
played once on the same conductor was
perpetrated on the gentleman who ran the
$40 train from New York last Thursday.
A man on the train who lives between
New Rochelle and Mamaroneck, and who
evidently wanted to get home in hurry,
came TO the conductor and with feigned
excitement and in earnest tones said that
the train had Just run over man, and for
Gods sake to stop. The conductor At
once pulled the bell-cord and the train
was soon brought to stand-still. A
number OF passengers got oil and run
back come distance, but could see nothing
Of the mangled remains the memorable
iron horse had made. After the train had
again started the only passenger left be-
hind was the man who gave the iniorma-
ton, and he, having thoughttully taken
his bundle under his arm, was seen cross
ing lots toward his home. Some Of the
brakemen allowed that he would have
more than his ticket punched the next
time he got on that train"
