everlasting grial from FIVE In the tmorning till

You are heaping up wealth for Others to waste
OF quarrel over when you are dead. And half
your heirs instead Of recoleotng you gratefully,
Will contemplate your departure from this hur-

awhile. You are wearing out the vital forces
faster than there is need, and in this way sub
tractlng years from the sum total OF your life.
The rush and worry, day after day, this restless
anxiety after something you have not got, is
like pebble stones III machinery they CRATE and
grind the life out of you. Yon have. useless bur-

deal of needless care dump it. Pull in

Take time for thought of better things. Go out

LAR ANTICS OF STRANGER.
Last evening, about 9 o'clock, Esquire Brady,
while engaged In writing notices. heard some
one enter his office, but thinking 1t WAS con-
stable paid no attention at the time. After get
ting through with writing notice, he looked
around and his hair stood on end st seeing q
man with huge CLUB in one hand and = cooked
navy revolver in the other.
On attracting the notice of the Justice, he
ripped out furious oath, asking what he
thought of himself and what he wzs doing. The
Squire looked him in the eye and questioned
him about what he wanted, to which he gave
such evasive answers as to make the Squire ap-
prehensive that he contemplated felonious as
sault on him. Gradually approaching the
stranger he finally grasped the pistol, and forol-
bly, put him out Of his office.
Presently the man came back and tried to re-
enter but Mr.. Brady bade him begone, when the
strange man struck = blow at the Squire with
his club, che FORCE or which was broken by the
wall Mr.. Brady then rushed in and got plstol,
with which to defend himself, when the strange
man ran up to King street. policeman being
sent for, officer Bradford and Mr.. Brady found
the man In beer saloon at Fourth and King
streets, when he was taken and marched to the
city cells.
Mr.. Brady had no recollection of ever seeing
tho man before but thought 1t might be some
person In An intoxicated condition seeking re-
vsnge for some fancied injury. The revolver,
3 very large, one was unloaded, and he thinks
must have been stolen from some gunsmith.
The stranger was subsequently arraigned in
the Police COURT and fined for drunkenness.

FOURTH EDITION.
Obituary..

CAPT. RoRERT 4. DARR, OF NEW CATTLE.
The death of Capt Robert Il. Barr, at New
CASTLE has already been announced. he WAS
eighty-seven years of age. A native Pennsyl-
yanian, he was born at Pittsburg, while his faith
came to Delaware, however, with his father
(who first kept grocery at New Castle, and
afterwards became Justice Of the Peace) and
has since made it his home.
Captain Barr served in the war Of 1872 in the
gunboats on the Delaware. Fifty years ago he
WAS we'll known to the merchant marine as COM
mander OF the Caledonia, one OF the many ships
of Philadelphia which were then engaged in the
tea trade with Canton. Previous to that he had
been engaged in the London and Calcutta trade.
His reputation as skilful sailor and navigator
WAS not surpassed by any Of the men Of his day.
He once brought his ship home from Canton in
ninety seven days, the usual voyage being one
hundred and twenty days, which was not sur
passed by the famous clipper ships which were
subsequently built to make short voyages to
that port.
An amusing incident s related Of Capt. Barr.
On one OF his return voyages from Canton, he
sailed close in by the Island OF BIT. Helena,
when Napoleon was prisoner there. The Brit
ish government had two men-of-war cruising on
the island to ward off intrudsrs and he was hailed
by one Of these cruises and warned OF. Captain
Barr answered the officer who hailed him and
asked "How is The Emperor? The British officer
replied. 1--WE don't know any Emperor" "Then
how ia General Bonaparte ?" said Barr. "Oh he
is very we'll" replied the officer 'he has Just
been taking frollc in the water" "It is not the
first Frolic that hss been taken in the water,
replied Barr, alluding to the capture Of the Brit
ish war vessel Frolio by the United States war
vessel Wasp, which had occurred 4 few years
before. The British officer roughly ordered him
of, and Captain Barr amused himself by writing
letter to Napoleon suggeseing 81 plan Of escape,
and enclosing it in barrel with little Flagstaff
and flag on 1t to attract attention, and when he
was safe distance from the cruiser he threw 1t
overheard. The lookout on the cruiser diseov.;
cred 1t, and they bore down and captured 1t but
Captain Barr, with his fast sailing ship, WAS
safely beyond their reach.
After having quilted the sea Capt. Barr was
for many years in the employment Of the Phila
delphis, WilmingtonRnd. Baltimore Railroad Com
pany, sometimes in command of their steam
bosts and sometimes in charge of the office at
New CASTLE His latest service WAS during the
rebellion, a. commander Of one Of the transport
steamships employed by the government in the
waters of Virginia. He WAS then an old man,
but still sturdy officer and commander.
