TnE DEACON AND ms cALF.


Last Sunday, just as one of our deacons
was getting ready TO shake the lines over
his horses back, and say ge dab, his wife
happened 10 remember that the calf
hadn't been fed. The deacon looked at
his Sunday clothes and remarked that he
did not deem II incumbent upon him to
suffer for the negligence OF others; TO
which the deaconess replied that such
language, In the presence of his children,
on Sunday morning, and from the pill
Ter OF the church, was enough TO shake
ones belief In the professions that were
made by some one she could name. The
deacon handed over the lines to his eld-
eat boy and climbed over the wheel with
out another word. lie went around to
the front door, and took the door key
from under the mat, came around 10 the

the calf gave spring, sending the milk

beast the deacon dropped bis hymn book

a sKRaos PROM a PAIR oF noors,


There lived, forty years age Ia nerhu,
a shoemaker, who had habit Of speak.
Ing harshly OF all his neishbors who did
not feel exactly as he did about religion.
Tho old pastor OF the parish Ia which the
shoemaker lived, heard Of this, aud ielt
that he must give him lesson. He did
Il 10 this way: lie sent for the shoe
maker one morning, and when he came,
he said 10 him, Master, take my measure

With pleasure, your reverence, ana

your boot.
The clergyman did so, and the shoe
maker measured his foot from toe to
heel, and over the instep, noted all down
In bis pocket-book, and then prepared TO
leave the room.
But ~ he was putting up the measure
the pastor said TO him, Master, my son
also requires pair OF boots.

reverence. Can take the young mans

II is not necessary, said the pastor.
The lad Is fourteen, but you can make,
my boots and his from the same last.
Your reverence, that will never do,
said the shoemaker with a smile OF sur
prise.
i tell You, master, TO make my sons
on the same last.
No, yonr reverence, cannot do IL.
II must be--on the same last.
Bat your reverence, Il is not possible,
II the boots are TO fit, said the shoemaker,
thinking TO himself that the old mans

All, then, Master Shoemaker, said the
clergy man, every pair of boots must be
made on their own last, If they are 10 Gt,
and yet you think that God ia TO form all
Christians exactly according to your

THERE are many positions in this world
which are said to be thankless. One Of
these is keeping boarding house, but it
is thought that those who are to act Judges
at the Centennial Exposition will have a
more thankless position than the keepers
Of the boarding houses. Already DR.. Still
ley, who was appointed at the head
of the bureau of awards has receg-
nized the high responsibilities, and given
it up, and it is feared that the decisions
must give rise to dissertation no matter what
is DONE and those who are in the bcarc
have very thankless positions.

Mr.. FITzHUGH, holds the high and re-
sponsible position of door keeper Of the
House of Representatives in Washington.
Since he migrated from Texas and assum-
ed this position, he has added few yards
of cloth to the length of his coat tails and
instructed his washer-woman to add few
degrees more Of stiffness to lis shirt fronts.
So greatly has he become impressed with
the importance of his position, that he has
taken to letter writing, advising his old
friends down in the Lone Star State, Of
the "soft snap he had, the influence he
enjoyed with the leading members, his
many social relations with the ladies of the
honorable members, and the wonderfully
Increased facilities he had acquired there

A BAND FOR THE AMERICAN
RIFLES,

A committee consisting of E. R. John
son, Frank Sweetman and Howard Meal
lister, have been appointed to solicit sub
seriptions to hire band for the parade of
the American Rifles as part of the Della
ware Centennial Legion, on the coming
Fourth of July at Philadelphia. A band
to accompany the Legion upon that day, is
an absolute necessity, as without one it
could not parade. The absence of a legion
from Delaware, would SUI biect every citizen
of the State-and subject them justly--to
the charge of meanness, and lack Of patri-
otism. 1t must not be. The memory Of
the brave men who went forth one hundred
years ago to battle and DEATH that we
might be free, would be insulted, if in our
days of peace and prosperity we failed to
celebrate their deeds by proper display
of arms. The gentlemen Of the committee
will wait upon our citizens for the purpose
Of obtaining subscriptions, and we bespeak
for them a welcome and encouragement
Let no one refuse, but every one glv'
something.

WRO n EXT?

The county awaits anxiously the devel-
opements os the Cincinnati Convention. The
New York Herald persists that there will
come out from this convention "a great
unknown, that is somebody whose name
has not yet been mentioned in connec-
ton with the Presidency. There is not 5
man in the whole batch that is entirely free
of suspicion, and it is the general opinion
that when the convention does meet there
will come like a thunderbolt "some great
unknown" that will startle the whole
country. Blaines bonds, Bristow's mules
and Conklings dobbling not wiseley in
fees, will be brought out in Cincinnati, and
as suddenly as the little man popping up
out of the box will "the great unknown"
come forth. The next question is whocan
it he. Certainly some one other than
these who have been named.
One thing that confirms this is the sud-
den revival Of the Liberal Republican par
ty, who declare that they will await the
result Of both St. Louis and Cincinnati
before they will take any step in the Pres
idential movement. The Liberals want a
man free of taint, and none of those that
have been named will accord with this
expressed intention of the third party.
The party at Cincinnati will bid powerful
ly for this support, and as Blaine, Bristow,
Morton and Conkling will not suit, ''the
great unknown must come to the
front with an obsequious bow, ,anda who he
is to be no one is able to tell, ard still
every one wants to know. The National
Convention alone can decide it.

THE Commercial appears to think the
Governor should not appoint Mr.. .Concgys.
Chief Justice, because he is not party
man. We should think that this was
strongly in Mr.. Comegys favor, for it is
better to haveaman in highposition oftr1s1
not entangled by strong political alliances
that one who is. And as for Mr.. Bayard.
recommending some one else other than
Judge Wooten, is but in conformity with
the character of an able Senator; he obevs
the high sense ofRight and duty, and does
not pay of political support by secure
positions for them. There is to much in
it that Smirks ofRepublican principles for
Mr.. Bayard to observe lie acts as he
thinks will best serve the people, indepen.
dent of party criticism.

DELAWARE FOR BLAINE,

The election of Saturday proved on
thing among many others very satisfac-
torily, and that is Del aware will send its
delegates to Cincinnati solidlv for Blaine.
The Bristow endorsers were fairly routed
Notwithstanding the powerful inf1u-
enee? that was brought to bear by an
afternoon paper Of this city, which whis-
pered kind words through its columns for
Bristow, and made the Old Ring the SUBJ
ject of its furies. But in the face Of all
this the Hastings party was terribly
whipped, and has sunk to rise no more,
and with it the mighty influence of an in
dependent paper. Blaine has
secured another link to his chain Of
strength in Delaware, and Bristow is get
ting far behind the Others on that side Of
the fence every day.
