The city of Philadelphia is Boosting
over just completed compress ma
chine and warehouse, which cost forty
thousand dollars, and into which the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad has
been run a track, and to which steam

while here in Wilmington parties have
quietly finished off compressor,
which cost over sixty thousand dollars.
Three railroads connect with it and
any steamer that Can enter our ports
can load or discharge at it, with ac-
commodation for 20, 900 bales of cot

LATE TO CHURCH.

BY MARIAN DOUGLAS.
ALONG the road, on either side,
The elder boughs ere budding,
The meadow lands rosy tide
OF clover bloom is flooding;
The sunny landscape is so fair,
so sweet the blossom-scented air,
That when [ went to church to-day
[ could but choose the longest way.
Loud sang the bobolinks, and round
The milk-weed flowers the bees were hum
ming;
[ sauntered on, but soon [ found
Behind me there was some one coming.
did not turn my head to see,
And yet knew who followed me
Before Tom called me: "Kitty, stay,
And let me share with you the way!"
We did not mind our steps grew slow,
Or notice when the bell stopped ringing,
Or think of being late, but, 10!
When we had reached the church, the sing
ing
Was over and the prayer was done,
The sermon fairly was begun!
Should we go in, should we stay out,
Press boldly on, or turn about?
Tom led the way, and up the aisle
I followed-au around were staring
And here and there caught smile;
| tried to think was not caring;
And yet | blushed l know, and showed
A face that like a poppy glowed,
For every one seemed saying, Kate,
We all know why you are so late!"
Another Sunday, come what will,
| mean to be at church in season;
Butte regret this morning still,
I trust never shall have reason;
For should ! wear a wedding dress
A year from now, perhaps you'll guess
What Tom said to me when, to-day,
We walked to church the longest way!

NERRY WORKERS.

TELL me what the mill doth say,
Chatter, CHATTER, night and day,
When we sleep and when we wake,
Chatter, clatter it doth make,
Never idle, never still,
What worker is the mill.
Hearken what the rilI doth say,
As 1t Journeys every day;
Sweet as skylark on the wing,
Ripple, ripple, it doth sing;
Never idle, never still,
What a worker is the rill.
Listen to the honey bee,
AS it dances merrily
To the little fairies drum.
Hummihg, drumming, drumming, drum
Never idle, never still,
Humming, drumming, drum it will.
Like the mill, the rill and bee,
l would never idle be.
What says ook-a-doodle-doo?
Up! there's work enough for YOU.
If [ work, then, with a will,

Ever merry, never weary,

I'm the cause, stranger, and if you'll

Now that you have silenced the in
fantile battery, which was thrown out
as an intimidation" feeler, and the
''leading Democrat" has had time to
reflect and chew his cud in meekness,
and may add in shame, over the
false and repulsive position he has
placed himself and his few weak de-
Tenders, I really hope and trust in the
name of that common justice due this
enslaved and DETAINED community,
that this "leading Democrat will
unmask himself and comply with the
just requests you have more than
once made Of him. There can be
now no plausible excuse for keeping
the truth hidden in a masked letter,
and in the possession of the notorious
President of the infamous Returning
Board, which was used by him, as in
tended by ''leading Democrat to
harm and injure us with a Committee
the majority of whom were but toe
willing to strike us below the belt
Both struck us in the dark and wher
we had chance to rebut the items
in that letter, we were unceremoni
ously cut short with the astounding
declaration that it was private ane
the author objected to it's further ruse
Forsooth this is impudence cooled ii
a refrigerator; it was used well agains
us and when our turn came we wer,
debarred all privileges ofthe meanes
criminal, chance at rebuttal.
Really, Mr.. Editor, in all my ex
perience in political strifes can re
cur to nothing so near unfairness

in the name of this community be-
you will continue in your efforts 70

What Shall Our Representatives DO

We publish q card from one of our
Representatives to the PicayAne, ex-
planning his reasons for signing at
the last moment the Compromise
which had already been adopted by
q majority Of the Caucus. In oppo-
sing that Compromise Mr.. Jeffries
faithfully reflected the wishes of his
constituents, and his opposition was
rightly and properly continued as
long as there was any hope or posi-
bility of effecting its reconsideration,
or of modifying it in any material
matter, or procuring more efficient
safeguards for us, or of diminishing
the concessions demanded of u.s.
Mr.. Jeffries did not succumb the in
slant the majority had expressed
their will. Neither he, nor DR.. Luc-
kett, who throughout cordially acted
with him, signed until the moment
the document was to be forwarded to
Washington, and both Of them sign.
ed under protest.
The constituents of these gentle
men regret the necessity which was
thus imposed upon them of becoming
parties to this agreement, but we be-
lieve they will approve the course
they have taken. Disastrous as is
the policy adopted by the majority Of
the Caucus, yet it was adopted-it
was I'M tait accomph, and it is not the
least wise of the Third Napoleon's
aphorisms, that "the logic of facts is
memorable" A particular policy Oh
course of action may be unwise in it
self, but when party or a people
have entered upon it, it may be equal
ly unwise for dissentients to prolone
their opposition. Harmony and uni
ty of action sometimes evolve bene
fits out of what without them would
entail unmitigated disaster
We publish, elsewhere, the cards Of
these gentlemen.
