Opens with one OF the most charming
frontispieces that have yet appeared in
the magazine, illustrating fanciful
poem by Rachel Pomeroy, about little
giant-girl, who is certainly unlike any
other of her race with whom We are ac-
quainted.
Stories Of adventure have by this time
come to be fixed fact with the boys
who read Sr. NICHOLAS, and they viii
fully appreciate the interesting account
of the manner in which First Trout"
was caught, the article telling them just
"How to Camp Out at the Beach" !" and
certain crisis in the story of "The
Young Surveyor" AS for the girls,
they will testify that there is no Lack
of enjoyment for them when they have
read the chapters of Eight Cousins
The Story for the Bird-defenders," "
"Christinchen's Answer" and among
the Lilies"
Mrs. Diaz's "Bad Luck of Bubby
Cryaway," the story of a Ragamuiiin
Party" Mrs. Headache" and the beau
tifully illustrated poem of "The Little
Girl who Wouldn't say Please" are all
Of them very serious in one sense and
very funny in another; while children
of a studious turn will find something
exactly to their mind in the Life OF a
Clothes-Moth and the description Of
"The Druids and Their Temples"
. The poem of "Ihe Fays'-beautiful
in itselt--is illustrated most exquisitely
by Jessie Curtis, who has no superior in
the dainty and graceful execution Of
this delicate order.
The illustrations generally are a1mi-
rably drawn and engraved; and the va

WILMINGTON, DEL. MAY Is, 1875
4 Rara AUis.

The Commercial has just discovered
rara avis. 1t says:
"While the Ga -ette and probably some
other Democratic newspapers steadily
hold that Republican officials have ire
sistable tendencies to corruption. we
have never taken the corresponding
view, appropriate to our difference Of
politics. We don't believe that opposi-
tion to our political views necessarily
tends to rascality. Yet we cannot help
remarking the recent sad case Of pecu-
lation in Philadelphia, where Mr.. S.
Gross Fry, the guilty party, Is Demo
crat "bred in the bone," tine son OF old
Jacob Fry, of Montgomery county, once
Democratic Auditor General of Penn
sylvania, and descended from line OF
Democracy running away back to the
beginning of parties in the Republic.
He has been very prominent in his par
ty in Philadelphia, and several II mes its
candidate for high position. When next
the Gazette has an attack OF bile over
radical corruption" it might look into
the case of brother Fry"
We had some knowledge of Mr.. Fry, a
number of years ago. He was an agree
able gentleman and thought to be q
splendid officer. He never printed his
reports, and left his board of Directors to
decipher them as best they could. But he
was sure to provide an elegant collation.
to which cigars, champagne and stronger
liquors were not strangers; and we are
told he performed the duties OF host in
the merriest mood, while he was carefts
not to imbibe. The costs coming out Of
the profits of his company. But this
was not all; the mystery of high divi-
dends was finally solved (when dividend
became low, in the discovery that stock
belonging to his company had been sold
and applied to the dividend fund, but
represented as earnings. 1t was said
Mr.. Fry sold high; and very soon he and
another very distinguished member of
the Young Mems Christian Association
IA firm Radical,) was voted out Of the
same Board. Mr.. Fry was no doubt @
very good Democrat when he left his
fathers roof, But he has been known
to have kept the company of such folk
as sustain the present Administration
TOO long to acquire the confidence Of the
Democratic party.
This will suffice, we hope, to satisfy
our readers that the GAZETTE has NJ
excuse to make for Mr.. Fry. We regre'
that any man should be guilty of &c
great crime. And it does seem TO US
rara ovis to find Democrat default
to his trust, and thus defrauding thou
sands of poor people Of their little ST.
wings they had been led to place in theil
keeping.
But the Commercial shows its dishon
est predictions in party politics b.
charging Mr.. s. Gross Fry's crime to tn,
Democrats, when it knows that Mr.. FIR.
was not the holder of a political cfice
He was no doubt elected to the head o
the Darby Railway Company by his our
qotes and the proxies of few friends
1t only shows our readers how har.
pressed the Commercial is TO find De
mocratic office-holding thief to plac
against the thousands of such scamr
that intest the Radical camp when
has to look up defaulter who does nc
hold political office. And it travels I
Philadelphia to find one. Why does
go there?
