Judge GiIpin's Success Or.

WHAT VIEW WILL GOVERNOR COCHRAN
TsKE2
The fact that the Spring Courts are now
ln session, the important term in this coun-
ty beginning two weeks from to-day, caus-
es a somewhat prompt speculation as to
the prol able successor of Judge Gilpin. 1t is
remarked ON all hands that the circum STAN
ees of his appointment ought to be remem-
bered, and that Governor Cochran might
do we'll to prove that he could act with ss
much independence Of partisan control,
~hen filling this important place. as Cover
nor Causey did, nineteen years ago. in ap.
pointing Judge Gilpin.
Taking the view that ii may be possible
for the Governor to act without regard to
party, the name of Hon. N. B. Smithers is
suggested for the vacancy. His selection
would be every way fit Hon Joseph p. Com
egys would also be an excellent appoint
ment. Other good names could be selected
from the list which is being canvassed-
including Chas. b. Lore, and w. s. McCaul-
Icy, of this city, Hon. Eli Salisbury, OF Do
yer. and others. 1t is strong y believed that
the Governor will incline 60 promote Judge
Wootten, and that to fill the vacancy for
Sussex county John R. McFee, or Ohas. NJ.
Cullen will be selected.

A BOAT CAPsIzED CROSSING THE DELAWARE AT
Nhw cAsTLE-Two BOYS DRowHED-Two
WITH DIFFICULTY SAVED.
Correspondence of the Commercial.
NEw CASTLE, May 1.-As the worshippers
at the various churches Ewere returning to
their homes yesterday afternoon, a rumor
became current that boat containing a
number of boys had capsized in the river.
1t spread as wild fire, and hurrying feet and
anxious inquirers were heard on all sides.
1t appears that about l, p. M, Geo. Davis
and Aaron Willis, together with the two
sous of Thomas Myers fisherman OF this
place lately removed from Jersey, had taken
their fathers boat with the intent OF cross
ing the river. On their return a stiff north
wester had arisen, and from their lack of
knowledge, in attempting to put the boat
about they jibed and capsized. Their
movements had been anxiously watched
for aome time by Mr.. Myers and others
frcni the maritime reporters office,
on Jefferson's wharf, and boat WAS at
once launched by Mr. Myers, }. and w.
PED ick, and j. Patterson. and all possible
haste made TO rescue the boys.
By this time the wind had increased, aud
on arriving at the scene of the disaster
ONLY TWO OF TIE BOYS
were to be seen. After some trouble in
isringing about the boat, Davis and Willis
we're taken off in an almost exhausted con-
dirion. The waves we're running very high,
causing some delay in coming ashore. On
ARRIVAL, Davis had so far recovered as to be
sble to walk. Willis was still insensible
ind was carried to the Jefferson House,
where after untiring exertions by number
of citizens. under the direction of DR.. Max
,teu ne WAS declared out of danger. To
Iessrs. J. Fl. Rogers and I. Freeze much
Iraise lis due for their unremitting atten-
ton, and Mrs. Amos Bissell, of Colorado, a
lAdy sojourning at the hotel is deserving
ot great credit for her motherly care and
anxious watching by the side of Willis.
DAVIS STATED THAT
ss soon as the boat capsized, all four took
hold of the bottom. The younger Myers,
4 years OF age, was soon washed off, and
is1elped on again to be dashed away by the
wRy5s This time he was seen grasping an
oar, and disappearing. The elder, is years
of age, held on manfully. but finally went
under, leaving Davis and Willis alone to
battle for their lives.
To Davis is due the saving of his com
Fade's life, for on seeing the others washed
away aud disappearing he exerted his ut
ihost to hold him on until help came. Al
ID, p. m. Willis was removed to comforta.
BIC room in the hotel. Mr.. P. z. Collins,
tl,u Clerk of the Jefferson House, proved
hpaself true philsnthropist by his unre
ni ting attention to the wants of the un'
foi runate boys and those attending them

Cleaning Floors with OFanges.

Cleaning Floors with Oranges.
That's shocking, isn't it2 But then they
have more of them than we do, for it is in
Jamaica that they make scrubblng-brushes
of oranges, and you may be sure it is true,
because Mr.. Gosse saw them do it. The
floor was hard, polished wood, and before
the family were out of bed two or three
colored servants scrubbed over the whole
of it with sour oranges, cut in halves.
When the Juice was rubbed out of one
piece they would take anouher, and so they
used up big trayful of them. A polish
was put on by rubbing with cocoanut husk,
and the floor looked as if it bad been

VICTORY FoR THE AMATEUR QUlCKsTEPs OVER
PROFESSIONAL NINE.
The amateur Quicksteps defeated the
Kleinz club, professionally of Philadel-
phia, on Saturday, in a well-earne1 game.
It was the longest and most tiresome game
OF the season, thus far, lasting almost
three hours. But for the Generalization
OF the visitors the score would have been
much closer. In their efforts to do too
much they gave away at least four runs by
over-throws in the field. No very great
amount of ekill was displayed on either side,
and the batting was only medium. The
umpire, N. Lyons, an attachee Of the
W club, was both incompetent and un.
