THE HERALD.
WILMINGTON, SEPTEMBER 8, 1879.
TOMORROW.

Tomorrow one of the most important
elections to the Democrats of Wilmington
takes place. 1t is important that every
Democrat should be at the polls and de.
posit his vote for the straight ticket that
his party has nominated. There will be
many efforts made to deceive, an evidence
of which is now before us in the shape of a
ticket for the Seventh Ward. 1t has at the
head, in large type, Democratic Ticket"
but upon looking at it carefully it will be
seen that tine names of the candidates are
led of by the one of Joshua s. Valentine"
For such deceptions the Democrats should
be on the lookout, as there is no doubt that
they viii be numerous.
1t is important that every Democrat
should be at the polls tomorrow and de-
posit his vote. The ticket that the party
has placed before the people has been Sc
lected with care. and is composed of men
who will best represent the interests of the
people Of Wilmington. Therefore it be-
hcoves every Democratic citizen to see that
the ticket will be supported. That this
will be done, the unity with which the
members of the party have always acted
tells us we have no fear, no doubt. All that
is needed is for every ward to do its full
duty, and if this is done, then we have no
reason to fear defeat.

journalists Of St. Louis had gone out {
town to settle a personal difficulty will
deadly six shooters Tho paities to til
affair are Major John N. Edways, Of th'
Times and DispatcRs editorial staff, ant
Major Emory s. Foster. q the Epenins
Journal. The quarrel originated from q
recent editorial article in the Times, &c.
verely criticising the people of Winnebago
county, Illinois, for their action in refus-
ing to allow ex-President Davis to speak
at the Rockford fair, and alleging that the
farmers Of Winnebago were ashamed to
introduce JEFF Davis to their houses be-
cause their houses were furnished with
pianos and other articles stolen by their
sons from the Southern people during the
war. The Journal replied to the Times ar
ticle, denouncing the assertions contain ed
therein as contemplate lie and the au-
thor coward. Edwards avowed himself
to be the author, and demanded Of Foster
retraction or fight. Foster preferred the
latter, and Colonel Branch, prominent
lawyer here, was selected by Edwards as
his friend, and W. D. w. Barnard, Bank
Examiner for this city, represents Major
Foster. The principals and seconds left
st. Lo lis last night for Chicago, and this
morning stopped at house in that city,
where final arrangements were made.
A dispatch to the Times from member
Of the Edwards party says the duel took
place at five o'clock this afternoon at a
point five miles north of Rockford, in Win
nebago county, and one shot exchanged
without effect, both parties firing too high,
but making line shots. Major Edwards
demanded second shot, but, as under the
agreement to fight second shot could not
be had, snless demanded by both parties,
and as Colonel Foster considered he had
gwen all the satisfaction required of him,
he declined to join the demand for another
shot, and the matter was settled without
further difficulty. Both gentlemen be-
haved splendidly. The weapons used were
Colts navy revolvers, at twenty PAGES.
Major Edwards and friends, after leaving
he field, went to Beloit Wis; and will re-
urn home by way of the Iowa Central and
North Missouri railroads.
The Whereabouts of Colonel Foster and
party is not mentioned.
Major Edwards was the challenging
'arty in the affair.

THE COAL fields of Pennsylvania l.

IHE COAL fields of Pennsylvania have
again been the scene Of bloodshed. Three
murders in one week is large record Of
bloodshed for new York to carry. Int
when it comes to the coal regions, made
up OF population who follow mining for
a living, there must be truth in the re-
ports circulated that there are societies
among them whose sole business it is to
murder those who are Objectionable to
them. The men who were murdered last
week were all what are called "Bosses,"
and they derive this title from the fact
that they are bosses around the mines over
the other workmen. These men very fire.
quently make themselves Objectionable by
severity, and very often become OBJ
jectionable from CAUSES much slighter than
this. At once their fate is sealed by a re-
cret society known as the Mollie Maguires.
Notices with coffins and pistols pictured
upon them are first sent to the offending
parties that they shall take warning and
leave. If no attention is paid to this then
the result is the same as the fate of the
three "BoseS" who were murdered last
week by members Of the Molly Maguires.
Murder and riot has held high carnival in
these regions for sometime and if such il

If one half of the talk that is expended
Oh finance were devoted to other things
that concerned the government much more,
there is every probability that business
would find its natural channels much more
quickly. 1t is an utter impossibilAy to
find any two men that are of precisely the
same opinion in regard to the great ques-
tion Of finance, and the country is SO mixed
up in it, that nobody seems to know exactly
where they do stand. There is an old say
ing that too many cooks spoil the broth,
and to nothing could it be more aptly ap-
piled than to the financial question. 1t is a
favorite dish with the politician, from him
who lends his stentorian tones to the pot
house to the imperious congressman or
senator. All attempt to explain the riddle,
and when they are throught, the country is
as much puzzled as ever. A little rest
would be the most soothing panacea that
could be applied to this national disease
THE era of fraud appears to have fast
tened its fangs upon the country just at the
present time. What the national Govern
ment.has not had to suffer in this way the

has all along been considered the seat of
such Irregularities but her neighbor city,
Brooklyn, which is only divided from New
York by the East river has caught the in

/ heard writes Mrs. L. Paget) an
anocGote of kaffirland to-day, which
though perfectly prevalent to our ad-
ventures here, is so amusing that i
must record it, particularly as my in
formsnt vouched for its truth. At an
outpost, far up the country, resided an
officer and his wife. The latter was
warmed by her husband not TO venture
alone far from the house but one day
imprudently going beyond her usual
limits, she encountered wild-looking
Kaffir, who took her by the hand, and
would be moved by no entreaties to
suffer her to depart. He made her sit
down, and untying her bonnet, let
down her long fair hair, at which he
expressed rapturous admiration. He
next took OFF her gloves, and appeared
enchanted with her white hands and
then proceeded to divest her of shoes
and stockings, and wondered at her lit
tie white feet. How much further he
would have carried his invest cations,
it is impossible to say, had not the
poor lady been rescued by a party of
squaws, who with jealousy in their
looks and gestures, rushed upon the
Kaffir, TINS giving her the opportunity
of escaping to her home. The next
morning the lady and her husband were
awakened at an early hour by a great
under the window and, on
inquirlng the cause of the disturbance,
the gentleman was informed by the
hero of the previous day, who had been
so impressed by the charms of our fair
that he had come with
twelve squaws, to make the liberal Of
fer of exchanging them for the gentle
mans wife, and was not little sur
prised when his generous terms were

Ferns along She French Broad.

Is there anything in the vegetable
kingdom more beautiful than the plumy
green grace, of ferns /? Like moonlight
to the MONDAY sunshine, like Shubert's
Serenade on the violoncello to Rubin
STEMS Russian Hymn played by full
orchestra, like Undine to one of the
French stage heroines of the day, so
are the forest ferns to the ranks of the
garden flowers. Robed ever in green,
wild, shy, and beautiful, they nestle
behind the rocks, wave by the brook
sides, and hide in the still dark glens.
and the lovers of ferns are bound to-
gether the world over by that very tie
that they do love them, needing no
other introduction-reason sufficient
for friendship between strangers,
between the working gardener, and the
millionaire. Although beginner with
unskilled eyes, 1 collected along the
French Broad twelve different kinds
the polypody, the maiden-hair, the
braken, the Cheilanthes, the cliff brake,
the dainty little ebony Asplenium, the
lady-fern, the Filix-mas, the beech
fern, the Cystopteris, the martial Poly
stichunl acrostichoides, and the
Mystery, 30 called because it positively
refused to show me any seeds, so that /
could not analyze it. Climbing on,
halfway up the gorge 1 found a plateau
of ferns 80 luxuriant, SO beautiful, that

melise, of the old fairy tale, and live
down in the miniature tropic fUrest.-

POETRY.


Look forth upon the night it is so dark
No star llumes the shadowed vault of heaven
And no heart-thrilhng note Of soaring lark
Preludes the day; but sometimes there is

A ftful gleAm OF hurried meteor light,
And sweet, strange voices steal upon mine
ears,
All in q molten murmur ringing in the night,
Like memory's soft whispers after many
year-
So is it with us IN the night Of life,
We have no starr to see, nor songs TO hear
Unveiled of the weariness Of strife,
Yet sometime, with the turning Of the year.
Have we sweet visions and strange dreams to
know;
Then strong with love, the spirit hath no fear,
And on the Wild tempestuous seas Of life
doth 90,
Knowing what things may be, like an enrap-

What an Army of Tead-StoOls
Did.

Did ever you think how strong the
growing plants must be to force their
way up through the earth? Even the
green daisy tips and the tiny blades of
grass, that bow before a breath, have
10 exert a force in coming through,
that, in proportion to their size, is
greater than you would exert in rising
from under a mound of cobole stones.
And think of toad-stools-whet soft,
tender things they are, breaking at a
touch. Yet, l can tell you, they're
quite mighty in their way.
Charles Kingsley, the celebrated
English priest and novelist, was q very
close observer Of nature. One evening
he noticed particularly a square fat
stone, that, should say, was about as
long and as broad as the length of three
big burdock leaves. He thought it
would require quite q strong man to
lift a stone like that. In the morning
he looked again, and 10 the stone was
raised so that he could see the light
under it. What was his surprise to find,
on closer examination, that a crop of
toad-stools had sprung up under the
stone in the night and raised it up on
their little round shoulders as they
came
I'm told that Canon Kingsley gives
an account of this in his book called
Christmas in the West Indies" but it
was IN England that he saw it.
Knowing that he was so close an OBJ
server, shouldn't be one bit surprised
if he went still further and found out
that one secret of the toad stools being
able to lift the stone was that they
didn't waste time and strength in
urging each other to the work, but each
one did his very best without quarrel
ing about whose turn if was, or whether
Pink Shoulder or Brown Button was
Sinking his share. But then the toad
stools must have been strong too.-&.

arms to defend the honor OF their pro-
fession. The event was brought about
by Q piece which is being played at the
theatre Of Montmartre. and IN which
the French penny-a-liner was repre-

porters forthwith consulted together
and marched to the theatre. As soon
as the Questionable passages came on
for delivery the reporters rose in body
and protested. The public took the
part of the author and the actors, and
pitched battle ensued. The curtain
dropped and the police were sent for.
By this time few heads had been

author would revise his piece in ac-

The English Universities.

The revenues of the two great Eng
lish universities are enormous. They
are among the largest landowners in
the United Kingdom, owning between
them 319, us acres scattered through
England and Wales, the land being
generally of an admirable description.
Their revenue from tithes is s270, 225,
and from stocks and shares s306, $50.
The combined revenues in the year
1871 amounted to 50, 100 OBS of which
a large portion goes to the head of
houses, fellows and exhibitioners. The
chapels absorb twenty times as much
as the libraries.
