\ special to the Times from Berlin,
says: After the recent appointment OF
Mahomed Pasha Us Guard Vizier, there
is less hope than ever for the Insurgents
coming to terms. Mahomed Is regarded
as an absolute government, and his very
presence in the Cabinet renders the In

GRACE CHURCH GORGEOUS Last week a
Martha Washington supper was given in Will
mington by the ladies OF Grace Church. The
Sunday School Chapel was elaborateIy trimmed
or the dressing Of the ladies the Commercial
says:
The dressing Of the occasion was charming
in its simplicity but rich in its magnficence.
1t is the general belief that so much dressing
has not been seen in this city at any similar en-
tertahment. The walters guests-that is the
lady guestS-wore rich and handsome silks,
whose rustic could be heard even amid the
rattle of dishes and silver ware, and whose
lustrO was in strict keeping with the
general surroundings. Every one was struck
with admiration, and for the time being dull
care and time were forgotten in the brilliancy
of the scene.
| Martha Washington was personated by Mrs
Rev. John Wilson, who was dressed in stylC
corresponding with the Martha Washington
period. Her dress was black silk, in cour
train, trimmed with velvet and rolling back
displaying pearl skirt George Washington
was represented by Harry c. Conrad, who wor'
dark blue coat of cloth, with gilt buttons
drab knee breeches, silk stockings, powdered
hair and large ruffled shirt. This suit was on,
worn by member OF the Hilles family at hi
wedding many years ago. T. Il. Devou per
sOnated Lafayette, and was very elaborated
attired in a suit of velvet, breeches, silk stock
ings and powdered wig A number of othe
gentlemen wore similar suits.
The tables presented grand display of silver
ware and boquets.

THE BENEVOLENT PEOPLE OF WILMINGTON
are using every effort to feed the hungry poor
of that city. A Holly Tree Inn" was started
there on Monday, by an association, and Mrs.
Jas. Bradford, q benevolent lady has opened
an eating room at her own expense where poor
people, who have to lodge in the city cells all
night, can get coffee, rolls and hash free of
charge. A ticket from the Mayor entities them
to a meal. The Holly Tree Inn" Association
charge only FIVE cents tor meal-juSt enough
to dcfray actual expense. Very many persons
give people who are begging for bread tickets
to the Inn, instead of money. As many as
forty or fifty persons spend each night in the
city cells because they have mot where to
lay their heads, and breakfast at the Inn.
A man with his wife and little child applied
to the free eating room Of Mrs bradford the
other morning for breakfast. Their appear
ance did not in the least indicate their condition
of beggars: they were comfortably clad and
careiulness of toilet of wife and child indicated
traits of refined feelings far above their condi
tion. 1t was evident that necessity compelled
it or they would not have been there They
were FROM New Jersey aud were booking for
work. The Commercial says this il one o
many familiar incidents daily occurring and is
sad commentary on the depression of the times
On Wednesday last at the Union Aid Society
building, Sixth and Orange, 52 families ap
Piled for assistance, and in the soup room l0
persons were fed, 81 gallons of soup bein

are friendly and neghborly, but we are not one
people, and in many respects differ. We dc
not believe we would mate well. For q little
State, Delaware has some big families. For a
big shore, the Eastern Shore of Maryland has
some ambitious gentleman willing to serve
their State aud country. Our big people would
want big share Of the spoilS, and Delaware S
big people would want to keep their own flesh
pots and to thrust an arm in the Shores also
Then there would be a quarrel in the new
family, and divorce called for. Take oul
advice, neighbor, and let the old maid alone.
