NEWARK, Del, March rs.
Yesterday was moving day. The teams and
people with household goods were fitting about
in all directions. One party, not having load
of straw on very square, the wind tumbled ii
over covering the driver and assistant who were
riding on top. The consequence is straw from
one house to another on the street. No other
damage was done. We have heard Of 10 other
accident for moving day.
The chicken thIeyes have been visiting Glls-

had been picked From that fact no certain ev-

pared to say that it would not be wiser to allow
the revenue to remain as at present and instruct
the State Treasurer to purchase State bonds at
the end of each year, when the surplus in his
hands shall be in excess of a certain amount
say $4,000. On January 1st, 1885, State bonds
to the amount of S79S, 900 will be due and paya-
BILE. With the present revenues and expendl-
lures this debt can be paid before it is due. Is
it not better to pay this debt little by little and
be dsne with it, rather than depend upon liqui-
dating it when done by an issue Of a new loan.

ANCIENT CUsroM.-Things do not
change in the East as Abraham
pitched his tent in Bethel, so does an
Arab sheik now set in his camp /; as
David built his palace on Mount Zion,
so would a Turkish pasha arrange
his house ; in every street may be
seen the hairy children oil Esau
squatting on the ground, devouring
a mess OF lentils like that for which
the rough hunter cold bis birth-right /;
along every road plod the sons of
Rechab, who have sworn to drink
no wine, plant no tree, enter within
NO door ; at every khan young men
round a pan of plrched corn, dipping
their morsels into the dish !; Jobs
plough is still used, and the seed
trodden into the ground by asses and
kline, olives are shaken from the
boughs as directed by Isaiah !; and
the grating Of trees is unchanged
since the days of Saul. Among 9TH
er things left unchanged is the Sy-
iian house, still, as formerly, only a
stone tent as a temple was but a
marble tent. What is seen now in
Bethany may be taken as an exact
likeness of the house cf Lazarus
where Mary listened and Martha
toilcd. or as the house of Simon the
Leper, where the precious box of
ointment was broken, whence Judas
set out to betray his master.

The deputation represents about
10000 people, who have a reserya
ton Of about 200 miles tquare, which
includes the country about the North
FORK Of the Republican River, through
which Is located the best and most
convenient route for travellers to the
Northwest and the Black Hills,
which embrace about sixty miles
square, or about t~hirty,six hundred
square miles of land. There are but
two or three of these Sioux who are
not over six feet tall, and a number
of them reach from six feet three
TO six feet SIX inches in height. None
Of these are inclined to obesity, and
every n Of them is wonderfully
muscular and strong. In compari-
son with the gaping crowd of white
men and negroes who almost con.

during their stay here, they look like
very giants.
Spotted Tail is regarded as the

He is fifty-two years of age, and
weighs about $50 pounds of solid

his appearance, except that one sees

different man indeed. Immediately
there is manifested that magic power
which belongs only to naturally
great men ; that power which will
lead the multitude, without an inqui-
ry being made as to what road it
will take, or for what purpose it goes.
Once hearing this great warrior
and feeling the magnetic in
lluence which starts into life as you
hear the music of his words, and
realize that the rays from his brilliant
eyes are upon you, you no longer ill.,
quire the reason of his supremacy
among his people. 1t was during
my interview with his chief that l
learned the proper name of the squaw
who accompanies the deputation.
