The Lewes InspeciOrship.

Investigations of the Custom service on
the Delaware shore, by Captain Morris,
special Treasury agent, have not been OF
the most favorable to the deputy collector
at Lewes, L. L. Lyons. The agent through
some means has discovered few irregular
tiles in the official acts: and the Treasury
Department, upon receiving report OF the
facts, at once forwarded an order, which
reached Collector Nolen on Wednesday, for
the removal of Lyons, and also abolishing,
for the present, the office which he has
held. Joshua s. Burton. night watchman
at Lewes, will perform the duties, hereto
fore imposed upon Lyons. Burton's va
cancy has been filled by J. d. Halloway,
who was promoted from boatman to the
position.

Two OF the cannons buried at Warwick
Tunace, Chester county, during the revo
lut'onary war, to keep them out of the
h lnds of the British troops, were used at
the ushering in of the new year, in firing
salutes Sixty rounds were fired. On the
4th round one ct the cannons burst. A
large piece was thrown about 100 yards dis
tant. striking clever sized chestnut tree
cutting it in two. another large piece leveled
some fence to the ground, and carried away
five spokes out OF the carriage Of Il gentle
man who was sitting in it holding his
horses. This gun was found to have been
eaten in holes by rust. The other appeared
to be perfectly sound. To test it's sire agth
it was filled at the last round with wadding,
sod, gravel, &C.. rammed tightly, within 16
inches of the muzzle. A slow match was
put to it and the large crowd present got
themselves at safe distance, and watched
for the result. The load was discharged
and the old gun was found to be as good as

tory delivery; that the thought absent in
the writing is at all compensated for by
mouthing or gesticulation, vocal tricks, or
attitudes Of body. 1t is impossible for a
boy TO write for an oratorical contest any
thing that shall be in the best seuse an in
tellcctual piece OF work He must subor-
dnntc everything else to the effect TO be
produced by his young voice and initiated
tricks If the orator. His success, If he
makes II, is Il mcretricicus one.
Oratorical speaking is a sort OF thing OF
which we have had altogether too much
in this country, and we have suffered 10y
reason of it. What we need TO cultivate in
our educated youth is thoroughness and
simplicity. II is not their ability to spout
which will hereafter serve them in prao-
teal life or enable them to aid their fellow
citizens, but their capacity TO think
acutely, concentrate steadily, labor unre-
mittedly, balance critically, explore
deeply, PROFOUND clearly, examine philo-
sopically and earnestly, TO deal with what
soever subject is given them to treat.
Such n display as that at the Academy Of
Music does nothing toward cfrecting this
result. 1t rather works the other way,
encouraging shallowness and display in
stead of soldity and thoroughness.
The boy who took the first prize for
defamation spoke about 1.-THE Heroic
Element in Modern Life" This was n bad
subject TO give boy. 1t was one of those
general themes from which college youths
should be diverted aud their attention
turned TO others which train their logical
and intellectual faculties. Prof. CHILD at
Harvard sets an example worthy OF fol-
lowing in every college, I'm the selection Of
the themes he gives his students. They
are Of a sort to drive them to study and in
vestiCation criticism and analysis. and to
stimulate them to thought and compari-
son. such n theme as that detained about
by the boy from Hamilton College does
none OF these things. II simply gives him
an opportunity TO vent his callow fancies
about things of which he is not competent
to speak. We dare say he did rs well rs n
bright boy could have been expected to
do; hut IL instead of preparing All Grafton,
he had been set TO the task of writing on
some subject in literature or In political
economy or related TO the practical affairs
of life, even if he had taken nc prize he
would have been better trained for what
he will have to do In life than he is now.
Most Of the other subjects chosen were
equally bad for boys: National Man
hood" 1.-THE Poets Mission" " Hunger"
and the rest. We are sorry 70 see that
anybody interested in education en-
couraged such an exhibition. All the boys
would have been at better work If they
had been AZ their studies instead of spout
ing in the Academy of Music or applaud
ing their fellows who attituiniled on the
stage.
