A Day AND WEEK OF PRAYER.-At the
last Convention of the Young Mems Chris
tlan Associations held in Louisville, Ky,
June 9th, it was resolved that the second
Sunday in November be observed as dav
Of thanksgiving to God for his continual
blessing to the different associations
throughout the world. 1t was also resolved
at the Triennial Conference of Associations
OF all lands held in Hamburg, Germany,
August 18th, 1875, that the second week in
November tie observed as week of prayer
for the blessing of God upon the work of
the Associations. In accordance with the
above resolutions the Young Mems Chris
tan Association Of Wilmington has made
arrangements for the observance of the
week as one of special prayer and thanks
giving.

AN UGLY TRICK.-Some time ago an
advertisement appeared in the Dela,carean
for boy to clerk in store, in Camden.
The advertisement stated that the boy
must be correct in figures, but that all
other faults would be excused. Applicants
We're requested to apply by letter to P. 0.
Box ll5. There being no box in the post
office at Camden of that number, a boy
always called for the mail directed to said
box. The postmaster, thinking it strange
that such a large number of letters directed
IN that manner should be received 10y
boy, inquired the reason, and was informed
that II party OF young men in Camden re-
ceived the letters-thPy having caused the
advertisement to he inserted in the DcLI-
,coredn as a joke. But some of the deluded
parties talk of putting the law to the jokers
and have caused them some uncasiness
The law expressly says that writer's Of false
articles likely to produce any public detr-
ment are indictable and upon conviction
thereof shall he punished by fine, imprisOn-
ment and pillory, either or all at the dis
erection of the Court.
AFTER REV. J. b. MANN-The public has
been laughing at Rev. }. B. Mann, of Will
mngtOn, for the unnecess Try six" he got
into on Sunday week. lie caused the
press to announce that he was going to
deliver "peppery sermon" and invited
the unbPlievers Liberal League) to come

his sermon, telling his hearers to beware of
real personal devil that was anxious for
them all. a DR.. Lawrence. an unbelieyer.
who was in the audience got up to reply TO
him, but Mr. NJ. set him down. The affair
greatly disturbed the congregation, and
the strange " Doctor rendered himself
! liable to an arrest, but he insisted that he
| had right to reply, whether it disturbed
the worship or not, because the minister
had invited it. 1t seems that he loved
| sensation quite as much as the minister,
and wanted to show Mr.. Mann that other
! people could carry pepper boxes as well as
! he could. The disturbance was greatly re-
! gretted and public sentiment seems to hold
! Mr.. Mann responsible for it. Here is the
way Rev. Mr.. Iialdeman, the notorious
! Baptist minister, referred to the matter in
lecture-roOm talk the next night: During
! his discourse, Mr.. Haldcman made rather
amusing allusion to Liberal preachers
and Liberal Leagues that were not liberal -

as he did not want any one to come to his

ence to the Chief Justice, he char ged that
he had been always committed to the rum
interest, and the friends of the temperance
cause did not look to him for any step that
might curtail the evils of drunkenness, but
the court as a whole had expressed the
determination not to open new sources of
vice in our midst, and now their act in the
fact of all this was an outrage to the people
and especially "many women and chill
| drcn," who have to suffer so much
| Next the witnesses who testified in the
interest of the applicants were criticised
The speaker could not see how citizens
claiming to be Christians and who had
! the good morals of the community at heart
could testify in favor of business that was
sending more souls to perdtiOn than all
other evils combined. He could not see
how one or two he publicly named could
do this after all they had experienced ;
how persons claiming respectability could
| put their names in between those who had to
make their mark in signing applications
Neither could he see how twenty four such
Signers could have more weight than those
on the siX-foot roll of remonstrance with
the three men who made court of Justice
open the rumShops of the county. The
speaker was thoroughly warmed up, and
his criticisms Of persons by name for acts
that were wrong in his eyes was made with.

Rev. Mr.. Stubbs, in closing, said that
while the lovers of temperance had been
disappointed, he hoped they would try the
harder to keep our young men from the
evils of intoxication, and pray the more
earnestly for them pray in such manner
as to influence those who are to become our
judges, if it could not effect those who are
already on the bench.
On motion of Dr. Cummins a vote OF
thanks was rendered Rev. Mr. Smith and
his associates for the zeal they had mani
tested in the remonstrance issue. \ mum

The WAR News this week are more i'm.
portant in promises than in practical
achievement. Both in Bulgaria and
Armenia the Russian prospects of success
are brilliant the papers tell US. The sieges
against Plevna and Kars, two Turkish
strongholds, are making rapid progress.
The flanking movement from the direction
Of Ardahan and Olti promises to give the
Russians possession of Erzeroum, another
secure place the Turks have been holding.
The Russians, though they have been killed
off to the number Of 10000 by the Turks,
have filed up their ranks again. The
Turks, on the contrary, though they have
not lost nearly so heavily as the Russians,
are unable to make up what they have lost
by new supplies Of soldiers. The conse
quence is that the Russians now outnumbeI
them and win all the battles. Our leading
New York papers all agree that the wal
can't last much longer if the Turks do not
do better than they have been doing fol
the past two weeks. If it were not for the

THE action Of the Court at Dover in
making the sale of whisky as free as it was
in its power to do, does not satisfy either
the temperance people or the liquor sellers.
1t breaks the hopes of the former and the
desired monopoly of the later, while the
public at large will derive no benefit, to say
the least, from the wholesale licensing.
The liquor vendors did not desire such
liberal-handed "justce" for their own
good other people did not want it, for the
public's good. No one was asking for what
the Court gave.

EDw. REYNOLDS, of the Middletown Tran
script, has gone out of the publishing busi-
ness, and we shall miss him. He was a
genial craftsman and an enterprisng
business man, and the Transcript under his
management, got out of the old fogy style
of printing into the more progressive meth
ods of the art almost as soon as he got it in
his possession. He struck out boldly in
the publishing business as he now seems to
be doing in the mercantile business. Success
to him.

THE elections yesterday in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, New York, Maryland and
several other States were mainly for local
offices, and did not attract much public
interest. The Democrats have carried
Pennsylvania by about 10000 and Mary

elected Governor of New Jersey by the
Democrats by large majority. Massachu.

and it cannot be stated definitely who is
elected. The tickets in all the States were
divided up greatly, and party lines were

IT seems, from an article published in
our Maryland items, that the title of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in this coun-
try was conferred upon that large body of
Christians by a body of clergymen of the
Church of England that assembled at
Chestertown, Md. in 1776. OF course, after
our independence was declared the demon
ination could not be called the Church of
England, on patriotic grounds, if for no
other reason. So, those Eastern Shore
clergyman decided to call it the Protest
ant Episcopal Church" to distinguish it
from the other Protestant Churches that
had sprung up among the people. The
effort to change this name by the General
Convention of the Church, recently held in
Boston, and the failure to do so, gives this
little scrap Of history peculiar interest in
a local way. 1t was proposed by the Con,
vention above named to change the name
to " The American Church" but the propo-
sition met with very little favor, even
among the High Church party. with which
it is understood the idea originated.

What a Daughter did.

The kind of a daughter to have, is
the one whom William Butler Dun
can, tho ruined Newly ork merchant,
recently found out he had. For two
or three years, during the summer
months, drivers and cQuestrians on
the public thoroughfares Of Staten
Island have met a young lady eques-
trian accompanied by an orderly,
whose elegant figure and superb
horsemanship elected general admir-
alton. She had had everything from
infancy that heart could WISH and
was supposed by those who knew
nothing to'the contrary to be q gay
butterfly of fashion, But Soo,1 after
the suspension of her fathers firm
unknown to her family, she under
took thetranslation Of d work which
was attracting not q little attention
in Germany. Secretly she kept. at
her task, night and day. When it
was completed, she went alone to tho
largest publishers in the city, sub
mitted hermanuscript for inspection,
and n few days later made contract
for the publication Of the Volume
When the first copy was printed she
placed it in her fathers hands, and,
telling what she had done, expressed
the hope that she could do something
toward relieving his financial troub4
les, The translation has proved a
decided success. 1t has met with
large sale, and tho royalty already
paid to the devoted daughter has
amounted to considerable sum.
