in 1862 he went into partnership with the
Chiefs of Police of Chicago and MIL
waukee. The compact was Tint they
were TO share in his forgeries, fer which
they were to give their protection. They
were always informed when he was cap

10 the place in which he was taken 10 hold
him for offences committed in Chicago or
in Milwaukee. He was then sent to one
city or the other, under the promise of
the Chiefs of Police that he was sure to

short time ON trumped-up charges, and
then gave him his freedom. He said that
he had paid over $100, 900 for protection.

Indian Summer.

Dear Maud hear across the morn
The bluejay calling In the corn,
Oh, in my heart | tread, to-day:
Along one old, cool, woodland way
And hear within the shadows still
The acorns dropping on the hill.
A hawk sails by on silent wings;
The far, low whir of partridge wings
Comes faint ripple ON the air;
It's restful silence everywhere:
So still, that from the naples crown
hear the red leaves eddying down.
A CLEAN OF silver far away
The river lies asleep, to-day;
The single shallop lettering by
Seems poised between the wave and sky;
Ali haste is rounded into calm.
And earth and sky are swathed in balm

Two MARRIAGEs-To ordinary minds
marrying in state seems to be invasion of the
with ceremonv and disD,ay ef tc T y ing
persons to each other. The pOmp and circumstance
of royal marriages may be glorious enough a
pageant. but such marriages do not always bind
young hearts together and very rarely bind nations
in closer bonds of amity and friendship. There may
be grand corege under military escort. Outriders
and equerres cathedral services bishops and clergy
assisting, noble music. and the wonder of admiring
crowds. Yet somehow these weddings do not turn
out any better than average; rather in general
-frightfully worse sometimes. We in America have
not been called upon to moralize over such royal
shows. But wealth, even with us does special
casions the best TO be married with beating of
drums and bare of trumpets as IL were. When such
invite public comment Some yearsago the New York
sensation of the day was what was magniloquently
the marriage of q young American lady with a
wealthy Cuban The next marriage that was cele-
brated with lavish expenditure and vulgar oStenta
tion was that of daughter of " Boss Tweed. We all
know what money furnished the costly presents made
his official associates. Yesterday we chronicied the
marriage in England of the Duke of Norfolk TO Lady
daughter Of Mr.. VIM. H. Vanderbilt. The Duke Of
NOrtolks marriage an historical event. for his
peerage dates back more than four hundred years.
The New York marriage event o. an entirely
different kind, but was equally suggestive In its way
It sgnalized the rise of one man by his exertOns
rom poverty 70 enormous wealth, and the founding
of family TO take rank hereafter in the social scale
with the Astors and other milliOnares whose great
fortunes were made in trade or by successful ven
lures in stocks and sagacious purchases of real estate
In one generation the American Vanderbilt gained
for himself and transmitted to his son greater an
nual income than the English Duke of four centuries
and OF the two weddings the American with its pre-
mnary concert and its subsequent floral exhibition,
was the most brilliant and snowy II must be confess
sed that IL took great deal to marry the young
couple but If they enjoyed the fuss the feathers and
the publicity Others have no disposition or even
right to complain. There few people, we imagine
who would care to go through at such time so much
that was splendidly tedious. But the sacrifices upon
the altar of society and fashion are many and great

1HE NEW lime SCHEDULE on the Dela'
ware r. Il. went into effect on Monday,
and is great advantage to the travelling
public over the old time table. The adj
vantages are as follows 1t gives three daily
trains to and from Philadelphia it enables
all the branch roads to make close con-
nections, and it enables Peninsula through
passengers to avail themselves of a through
train, one that does not make all the mile
stops between Wilmington and Philadel-
phia.
The last two are the moro important
features of the change. The branch roads,
six in number, are especially accommodated
by the new arrangement. None Of them
could make connections with the morning
train north, because it was too carly, and
if they connected with the afternoon train
they missed connection with the train
south, thus requiring passengers and mails
to 10y over. Now, by the new schedule,
these roads all strike train Immediately
going north and leave on the arrival of Il
train going south, without causing any delay
whatever to passengers. Thus, over 225
miles ofrailroad are materially cOnvenienced
by the change, viz: the Eastern Shore road,
from Delmar to Crisfeld; the Dorchester
& Delaware, from Scaford to Cambridge
the junction & Breakwater, from Harring
ton to Lewes the Maryland & Delaware
from Easton to Clayton; the Kent County
from Chestertown also to Clayton, and the
Kent & Queen Annes, from Centreville tC
Townsend. The inability Of these branche;
to make the connections has all the time
put them to great disadvantage and put
the water routes to Baltimore in stronger
competition with the Delaware road itself
For instance, the Nd. & Del. road-undel
the old schedule it was destroying its trade
and becoming poor feeder to the mair
stem by its lay-oycr at Clayton Of 3! hours
yet this delay had to be made, otherwis,
train would have to start from Easton a
/ in the morning, or else two trains pc
day would have been necessary. The rOaC
was not able to run two trains and / in tn,
morning was too early for the one trail
that did run. The other branches were il
similar fix. The Kent County road raj
an early train, leaving Chestertown at il
the morning, but the time was too early fo
travellers, except those on urgent business
Now all wait overs are avoided.
The other important feature is tn
through train from Wilmington to Phila
delphia. We understand the second morn
ing train to be such q one Under the oil
schedule the morning trains north an
south were way trains that made all tn
stops between the two cities named.
there is a station at almost every mile pos
between these two points, the frequer
stops were great annoyance to the PEI
insula passengers, many Of whom had
tedious journey before them, with man
stops to make on the local roads, befol
reaching their destination. Therefore
make all these five minute halts on I'll
main stem was especially tiresome. Nov
by taking the second morning train up, {
the second one down, all this may
avoided, we understand.
Upon the whole, the public could hard
have been better accommodated than
done by this change.
