"Even for all there is redemption,

down his hand with such force on the
pine table that It's rheumatic limbs with
difficulty maintained their equilibrium,
and then seized the pen and pledge the
lady had placed before him, and when
he returned them to her, the name of
WtiiiaDa Strong lay in broad, legible
characters upon the paper.
There was an expression, ludicrous
from its intensity, of curiosity on the
bar keepers physiognomy, as the lady
passed quietly through the "shop" at
ter her long interview with old Bill and
the expression was in no degree lessen
ed when a few moments after old Bill
followed her without stopping, as usual,
To take a " second glass; and he neUer
passed oUer that threshold again.

A Bride Dies In a Wedding Dance.

On Tuesday, at New Hamburg, a
young man named Stcinmetz was mar
ried to a Miss Zeiple. The wedding
party went from there to Baden to the
brides father, where, as usual among
Germans, a dance was held. In the
evening, about III o'clock, the bride,
who had been apparently well all day,
dropped suddenly dead in the middle OF
the dance.-Hamtiton (Ohio) Spectator.
Grace Greenwood writes hat there
has been no eruption by Vesuvius this
year, although the hotel proprictors Of
the neighborhood have, with a view to
increasing business, started reports TO
the contrary. The volcano smokes
more thar usual, however, and sends
up occasional streaks of red, but the
residents on its slopes do not seem APP
prehensive Of danger.

The Best Foot EOa,esssOst. !.

The Republicans in the election to-day
will offer the very best men in their party
They have selected Mr.. Pickels because he
is a shrewd, keen worker, who is said to be
an excellent organizer among the colored
population. The only way for the Demo-
Gratis to meet such preparation as this is to
show tt cir full strength A. the polls. Let
them watch and see that none vote who are
not entitled to, and the victory Is surely
ours. The Republican party was defeated
at the last city election on account Of It's
glaring mismanagement of municipal af-
fairs, and It will be beaten this time by vigi-
lance and industry.

Lutte forgeries, signed by Mr.. Mccall, but
the imitation Of the name was very imper-
fectly done, and this greatly aided ia the de-
lection - they had the county seal on them,
and had q strong resemblance to genuine
ness.
Who has perpetrated this work It cannot
now bs stated, although every effort will be
made to ascertain 1t. But It has been done
by some one who has stamp of the county
seal in his possession. Thoee who held
them were negroes, and called to see why
their names had not been placed on this

REPEATERs FROM THE COUNTRY.
A gentleman driving in last evening by
the Philadelphia pike noticed about forty
negroes walking towards Wilmington
Hating and making enquiries of them he
found that they were all from Quarryvflle
and had knocked off work for few days.
Their presence In Wilmington is unmistak-
eably for the purpose Of voting the Republ-
can ticket to-day. Let them be looked out
for, and promptly dealt with If caught.
MR.. FARRELL INTENDS TO RUN.
A representative of The HERALD visited
the Ninth ward, yesterday afternoon, and
ascertained from the most intimate friends
of Martin Farrell, that he would certainly
offer his name to day to the voters of the
Ninth ward for their patronage to re-elect
him to Council. It was understood that
Mr.. Barnbill would withdraw If Mr.. Farrell
would do the same, bat the latter having
declined to withdraw his name, Mr.. Barn
hill will also be candidate for Council In
the Ninth ward to-day.

The contest which occurs to day is one of
exciting interest to the political parties Of
Wilmington, even exceeding, perhaps, the
interest taken In the laet election when the
Democratic party wrested power from the
Republican, gained control of Council, and
placed the Mayoralty of the city in competent
and faithful hands. Both parties are work
ing with determination, and the Democrats
are more jealous than they have hitherto
been.
The polls open between twelve and one
o'clock P. W., and will close at seven to-
night. This should be especially borne In
mind, as it allows but short space of time
in which to poll votes, and the Democratic
voters should make 1t point not to delay
voting, or they might put It off until too
late. Therefore, let every Democratic citt-
zen vote as soon as he can possibly do so for
the Democratic candidate In his ward.
In order that none may be mistaken as to
who he shall vote for, there being many
spurious tickets out, we give below in full

On Sunday morning the gown
and coat were put on, and the faith

Thus persisted perhaps the most
magnificent specimen Of physical
manhood that the United States
ever produced. He never learned
a letter; never felt a refining infu-
ence: he never had real friend.
His rapid growth, great size and
immense strength prevented all
possible parental moulding or in
fuepce. 1t was fortunate for others
that he was not vicious. 1t was
unfortunate for himself that his
birth was in place, and at time,
where and when necessity, We may
say, forced him to run to waste.
