DELAWARE Posi- OFFICE.
We had meeting the other night at Buz-
Yards Glory, where We gather the solid
nigger vote of the South. have q great
deal of influence over there. The dusky
ladies all call me "That Blessed Man." ln
fact, the niger 10 the best Republicans We
have. They are willing to do I'll the voting
and give US all the Offices, and that just
suits me. At the meeting the following
platform was unanimously adopted:
Platform.
RESOLVED, That we believe in the Inali.
enable right of the Republican party to rule
and save this country; and IN the Divine
right of the Federal army to supervise the
elections, and to superceue the, civil author
tiles on election days In the States.
We believe In the immaculate purity OF
all men that Genl Grant has put in places
of profit and trust, especially in Delaware
and in the Cabinet.
We most heartily approve Of Gen. Grants
actions in giving 1ull and free pardon to
all members of the Whisky Ring, a. they
were always true to the party which 10 the
party OF progress.
We cOrulally ep0Orse hODeson ana belk-
nap as gentlemen.
We believe that Delaware, as = State, is
Republican, but that in the late election We
were bull-nozed OUT OF it. Therefore, Levi
c. Bird should be counted In.
We hope that the Constitution of the
United States will be amended 20 that it
will be the study of all States to have the
election returns supervised aud counted by
Returning Board, which Board shall "
all times be the candidates on the kepubli-
Cicket. This We think essential, so that the
party of progress may remain in power.
We believe that no man should read any
papers except the New York Times" and
" Forncy's Press"
To these principals of Progress We give
our sacred party words and cot our official
hands.
Then We had song BY Anthony Higgins,
u dance by Levi g. Bird, and . prayer by

origin of'ths Military Salute.
Army and Navy Gazette.

Army and Navy Gazette.
A correspondent gives the following ac-
count ofthe origin OF the military salute !:
within the last few years, among the
many changes which have been introduced
into the army is that of the salute. Why
the old time ordered salute was abolished
no enc knows, but it is an interesting fact
and one probably unknown to most of our
readers, that the old salute, which consis-
ted of the hand being brought to horizon
tai position over the eyebrows, has a very
old origin, dating, in fact: from the very
commencement of the history of the Eng
lish army.
Its origin is found in the tournaments Of
the Middle ages, and was US follows Al
ter the Queen of beauty was enthroned, the
knights who were to take parts in the
sports of the day marched past the dais On
which she sat, and as they passed, they
shielded their eyes from the rays Of her
beauty. Such wss the very interesting
origin of the old salute, and it is question
worthy the attention of our military au-
thorities, why should not the old salute,
possessing such an origin, and associated
with our army from the earliest times, be
restored! 1t is difficult to discover for what
purpose it was ever abolished.
The pincipal part Of the officers salute
kissing the hilt Of the sword-dates also
from the middle ages. When the crusa-
ders were on their march towards the Holy
City, the knights were in the daily Gus
toms Of planting their long, two-haaded
swords upright in the gronnd, thereby
forming cross, and before these they
performed their morning devotion. On
all military occasions they kissed the hllt
Of their swords in token of their devotion
to the cause Of the cross, and this custom
was perpetuated after the crusaders were
numbered among the things Of the past,
and the religious origin of the salute was
forgotten"

We have not had a peep even at its

promised to do their very best, and
that means great deal where ST.

They tell us, among other contribu-
tiOns to this number, will be a paper
by Mr.. Bryant, The Boys OF My Boy
hood, i. e., the boys os the latter part
OF the last century or the beginning of
this.
The number will have nearly one
hundred pages and over .ftty pictures.
Prof. Proctor, the English astrOnO-
mer, contributes paper called "A
Clock in the Sky illustrated by draw
ings showing how the tail of the Great
Bear points out the time of night.
Then there is the account of the
great Horse HOTEL with very spirited
pictures; an article by Lucy Larcom,
The Poetry of Winter besides lot of
Christmas Stories, accounts of curious
Oriental Sports, and more geod things
than we can find space to mention.
Besides all this, j. T. Trowbridge

Death of Percy COwen.

There is vacant little chair at the domestic
hearth of Judge and Mrs d. D. 7. Cowen
1t is shrouded with grief, the grief parents
alone feel when the promise of their future
joy is destroyed by the relentless coming Of
death. Wallace Percy Cowen was bright,
intelligent child. He had the richest offerings
and most solicitous care of parental affection
to make his childish days pass like the en-
chantment of summer-dsy dream. The love
of father, mother. brothers and sister, sur
rounded him, and for its wealth he gave
promise of generous gifts in mind and heart.
His life was measured briefly, but sweetly.
He was born April 20, 1873, and died on Sum-
day evening of pneumonia, after an illness of
twelve days. The funeral took place on Tues
day from the residence of his parents.
