4 Hundred Years to Decide a Bet.

\ private letter from Germany gives
the following facts regarding a singular
and novel wager: Two wealthy and
influential Berlin bankers, desiring to
provide for their children's heirs, and
fearing that through disastrous re-
verses they might become poor, and
therefore, be unable TO do so, have made
a wager concerning the United States.
The one bet 5000 marks ca mark is
equal to about twenty-five cents of our
money! that the | nited States will not
remain a republic. but advance To high
er knowledge of the arts and sciences.
while the other, just as confident of
winning as the other. of course, bets
1000 marks that our country will re-
main a republic all the time interview
ing between this and the second Cen
tennial. but will not retain the high
position in the arts and sciences which
she now occupies.
This sum of 1000 marks about
Si.15O American money! has been
placed on interest for the period of 100
years. at the expiration of which period
the royal court of Germany viii decide
which party is winner and entitled to
the money. the total sum of which Will
then be 50. 1872 marks German money.
or SlS.3 American currency. En-
plicit agreements and sttpulations have
been entered into by both parties. in
due form of law, one of which pro-
yideS that under no circumstances
shall the money or any part thereof be
withdrawn before the expiration OF the
allotted period of zoe years

THERE is nothing more remarkable
in the character of Paul, than that III
innate blending of sincere and force
full energy with the most courteous
tact and kindness, to which, doubtless,
his influence among men was largely
due. speaking the truth in love,
that was his art of conversation. With
a delicate sympathy which could be all
things to all men, he yet preserved un'
questionably the power of his clear In
tegrity. He carried with him every
where principle of action when
could lend more attractive grace 10
his conduct at the social board, ana
teach him to regard, even III these
things, the feelings of a weaker
brother. -Presbyterian.

THE joys of religion are the en-
enlargement of youth and the prop OF
old age. Without them we sicken
even in the midst of prosperity; ana
with them adversely loses all its ter
rors. They sweeten our slumbeis'
they soothe our waking hours; at home
and abroad. in private and in pup'ic,
they are our constant companions, oul
richest treasures. The yigor OF youth
and the blush of health are transltory
blessings; the pride of rank soon
wearies; and riches make themselves
wings and fly away; but the joy OF d
Christian, though it walks upon eafth.
hides its head in heaven. 1t IS ihe
gift o. God; and God alone is able u
deprive him of it. "-Faber.

THE FIGHT OF SATURDAY.

The election of Saturday, as we had pre-.
dicted all along, that it would be, was one
of the most hotly contested that has been
witnessed in this city for some time. The
factional jealousies were arrayed strongly
against each other, and used considerably
in building upcapital for the tickets during
the day.
But while it was hot fight, it was at
the same time, deprived of that which
gives zest and excitement to elections, and
that is closeness of contest. The Hast
ing's ticket was overwhelmingly defeated.
1t might be called an inglorious defeat, in
the very fact that the defeat was 50 great.
Both factions to this fight were we'll di-
rected. But the Scott party had the advan-
tage of q more industrious and skillfal
management than the other, to-
sether with a larger personal following.
We think though, that the party would
have received as much benefit from the
election of one as the other. Both men
were boilers from the nominations of the
party here in Wilmington, and the only
difference we can see is that one favors as
the choice at Cincinnati, Blaine, and the
other Bristow; idle hopes never to be re.
allied; but an effort must be attempted
and by the election of Mr.. Scott on Satur--
day over Mr.. Hastings, the Diamond State
virtually declares for Blaine.
In the fight the colored vote proved
controlling one, and to this the defeat Of
the Hastings faction must be attributed.
The influence of Custom House and Post
office officials too had great deal to do
with it, and the Republican party of Will
mIngton to-day is more terribly damaged
In morale than it was in the last election
when it was routed. Its harmony has
been completely destroyed by factional
differences, while union has been made
impossible by rebellion among its rank and
file

The closing Of the Exhibition Buildings

The closing of the Exhibition Buildings
on the Sabbath, continues to meet with
strong opposition from the masses, and so
great has the demand become for such a
recognition of the workingman's rights,
that it is believed that the managers will ba
compelled to depart from their determine
tion, and throw the buildings open upon
the Sabbath. On Saturday night, in Phil
adelphia, la,ge meeting was held at Mu-
sical Fund Hall, which gave this subject
their special attention. 1t was addressed
by ministers of the gospel, and leading
members Of the press, all Of fwhom declared
man was entitled to recreation upon the
first day of the week, and that attendance
at the Centennial would be violation Of
no moral or other law. Resolutions to
this effect were passed, begging the man
agement Of the Exposition to absolve their
first determination.

MARK TWAIN in the atlantic M0mthlv
gives graphic account Of a mans tussel
with his conscience. His conscience ap-
peared to him in the form of a misshapen
dwarf; reminding him of all the deeds OF
his life which caused him to feel smartly
the pangs of that inscrutable something
known as the conscience. But Mark un-
like the rest of mankind, felt his conscience
in tangible form, aud after it had twitted
him nearly into frenzy, laid hold Of it ,and
cast it into the dre, where he had the salts
faction Of seeing it reduced to ashes, and
he is a free man, unburthencd by the pangs
of restless conscience. There are other
men, though, besides Mark, who have no
for they have rendered them
callous by their depravity, and some of
these men occupy high official positions in
Washington.

YESTERDAY was strongly suggestive OF
those pleasant May-days we read of in fic-
ton. Days filled with the poetry of senti-
ment; when young mans fancy gently
turns to thoughts OF love; when the air is
balmy. the trees and fields clothed in their
richest verduer; when feathery choristers
make the woods vocal'with their warblings,
and the people and the weather are tho
roughly in accord as regards temper. After
storm, and we had one on Saturday in a
hot political contest, yesterday was veri-
table calm The steeets were filled with
persons clothed in spring fashions,as varied
in color as neat in makeup. The rural
districts were largely attended by those in
search of out door recreation, and Delaware
avenue and the Brandywine came in for
their share of promenadsrs. 1t seems as
though spring wore her most sunny smile
in Wilmington yesterday.

A MISUNDERSTANDING.

Governor Cochran, owing to the recent
death OF his son, was unable to attend the
Centennial opening, and hence our State
was not officially represented there by the
Governor and his staff. We are author
lied to state that the Secretary of State:
General flolcomb, and the other State
officials present, went there in their per
sonal and private capacity only, and not
as members of the staff.
As the Governor received but one ticket
for himself and staff collectively, and did
not give any invitations to individual
members thereof to accompany him to the
Centennial, for the reasons before stated
there has been no unfair discrimination OF
favoritism shown by him in the matter. W,
arc glad to be able to say that all asscr
tons to the contrary are entirely witho1
foundation. We hope that this will prove
satisfactory to those gentlemen who hav,
msnterpreted the whole matter, and arr
Iaboring under the smart of tancie,
slight from the Governor and the Secre
tary of State, which has been we'll ventil
ated through some of our daily prints.

A GAME of base ball in Wilmington, on
Saturday afternoon, between two rival clubs
the Quickstep Professionals, and the Quick
step Amateurs, came very near assuming
anot her aspect other than that of a friendly
cont st. BY dispute upon the technicali-
ties of rule of the game,in which we must
say more stubbornness than reason was
shown a member of one Of the clubs re-
fused to play, and the excitement became
intense over the diminishing prospects of a
game being witnessed. Personal consdera.
tions of the feelings of the large and com
pimentary audience should have compelled
the disagreeng member to have finished the
gone, even if he knew rule was violated
and we regret exceedingly that it occurred
as it destroyed anything like fair contes
being had, and may have tendency TO de-
stroy confidence in our home clubs.

1r would not be bad idea, in view of the
objectionable ignorance the Centennial po-
lice show of characters, and to prevent all
who attend from being accused as pickpock-
cts, for the ticket sellers to issue badge to
be worn upon the breast, bearing the in
scription, 81 am not pickpocket." 1t
would ensure the wearer against suspicion,
as much as the artist ensured the identity
of his picture when he painted beneath it
"This is a horse" 1t would be wonder
full help to the intelligent police in avoiding
mistakes as bungling a. that they made
when two of our most peaceable citizens
were arrested. H-.
