WILMINGTON. April 4, 1877:
THE DEMONS MARCH.

A meeting was held IN Fnlla0elphla last
week for the suppression Of vice, at which
fearful tale was unfolded about the vile
literature, which is carried into the very
sanctuary Of ones home, by the post-ofice
and other means. The awful frequency Of
abortion, and infanticide were also deplored
one eminent physician, broadly as
serting that SO common was this species Of
murder, that it was very naturally check
ing the growth of our population-which
owes, said the gentleman, its increase sole.
ly to emigration The country is worse
than the city, sorrowfully remarked gray
haired doctor. The picture drawn was
terrible, but not we fear overdrawn. The
causes of this horrid menace to our exis-
tence are many, but they are supposed to
be within the reach of curative power.
A large portion Of the press by publishing
medical advertisements--we regret they are
to be found in more than one of our Will
mington dailies-are as active tempters to
sin, as the serpent was to Eve. We could
point out, if we desired to be invidious,
advertisements in one or more of our pa
pers, which are filthy beyond mention, if
the true inwardness of their meaning were
laid bare. Ii were safe rule for every
father and mother Of this city, to read sus.
piciously every quack advertisement in the
newspaper served at their door, before per-
mittins the poison to be placed before their
growing sons and daughters. The pulpit,
while earnest in its endeavors to make re-
ligion a panacea for the ills of this and the
next world, is cowardly silent upon the
great crime Of the age. The snowy folds
of the ministerial choker rises and falls,
while denouncing rum" as the cause of
all our evils, and not one word in reproba-
tion Of foetel murder. God will judge the
whited Sepulchurs as sure as he lives and
rules. We are informed the vile literature
referred to, by the society we refer to, is
disseminated by means of our mails we
hope it is not true, and we desire to be
specially understood as not making any
charge against our Postmaster in this re-
gard, as without outside cooperation he is
powerless to investigate and restrain. Ono
of the fayorite fields for the introduction
and sale Of obscene literature, is unfortu.
nately Female Academies. Suppose the
Temperance people, whom we respect as
sincere workers in the cause of good NOR
ais, were to give Satan turn in this, his
favorite field of devilment.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Correspondence Of The HERALD.
WASHINGTON, April 2, 1877

THE ABSORBING TOPIC.
Chamberlain's proposition was submit
ted to Governor Hampton, and he de-
clined it, Just as he declined on Friday
night, the propositions suggested by Secre-
tary Schurz. Governor Hampton has ad'
hercd most resolutely to his determina~
tion to consider no proposition that could
he construed to throw tie least doubt upon
his title. Chamberlain's proposition for
commission, which was laid before him on
Saturday, was the last Of a series which
have been made to him with view to &C.
cure compromise. With his refusal to
consider it ended all hope for Chamber
lain. The President and his Cabinet have
been forced to the conclusion that as Gov.
Hampton has said from the first, the only
solution of the difficulty is the non.interfe.
renee Of the troops. Therefore the troops
will be removed from the State House,
Hampton will proceed to eject Chamber
lain by civil process, and 1t is hoped that
within week or ten days the trouble will
be over, and affairs will be moving as quiz
etly in South Carolina as in other States in
the Union. The letter of Gov. Hampton
furnishes as strong aguarantee as the Pres
ident could ask, of his purpose to deal
justly with white and black alike, and in
conversation last night Hampton said that
he would return home tonight, and on his
arrival would issue his proclamation no.

PR REM4TTRE BURIAL.

The late Lord Lytton, who was always
haunted by the dread of being buried
alive, left in his viii express directions
to prevent so terrible catastrophe: 81
desire that it may not be disturbed from
the bed in which it may be lying, nor
prepared for burial, nor, above all, be
placed in coffin, till three medical men
of high standing and reputation shall
have inspected it separately, and not in
the presence of each other, and shall
have declared in writing, to be signed by
them respectively, that the signs of de-
composition have commenced. And 1
desire that two out of the three medical
men shall be other than the medical men
vino have attended me in my last illness.
I forbid all dissection or a,.topsy of my
remains, unless there be a suspicion in
the mind of my executor that I have not
died natural death, but earnestly re-
quest that the most approved means
(short of mangling the body may be
used for restoring my life in case there
be any dout of my decease, or appear
to be in a eatalepsy or trance.

TEDT4N NEHS.

Information of an authentic nature
has been received at military headquar-
ters that it was Lame Deer's band of
Sioux Indians which recently attacked
the surveying party under Lieut.. Lemly
on Spearfsh creek. The surveyors
are engaged in running a boundary
between Nebraska and Wyoming Terri
tory. The supposition that the attack
ing band were agency Indians proves to
be unfounded.
The Indians who recently made a raid
into Texas from Mexico are, according
to advices received at army headquar-
ters, Tipans, Comanches, and Mes
colaros. This party, it will be remem-
into Mexico, and portion of their stolen
stock recovered.
There is n deep-seated conviction in
army circles here that reports sent
hither from Montana about an influx of
Nez Perces Indians are ingeniously con-
cocted lies which have been circulated
for a purpose. 1t is soberly doubted
whether any of the Indians of that tribe
have really crossed the range into
Central Montana The story that they
were coming over into that Territory to
hunt buffalo is pronounced absurd by
all who are familiar with the region.
There are no bufaloes IN Montana, except
in the northeastern corner, near the Brit
ish line; and even there they are not
numerous. Business is a little dull in
Montana Just now, and an Indian scare is
always popular, and an opportunity to
raise some volunteers and roll in some
big claims against the Government for
horses, forage, arms, provisions, etc.
would be godsend to some schemers
up there.
Gen. Crook, who is en- route eastward,
states that some of the well-conducted
Indians, who served with the troops last
winter, including Cheyennes, Arapahoes,
and Sioux, are about starting on buff
falo hunt toward the Big Horn and Mus
selshen country under the command OF
Spotted Tail, who can be trusted to keep
them within bounds. After tine hunt is
over, a dozen or SO of the chiefs will go
to Washington to have "big talk" with
Uncle Rutherford over the boundary OF
the new Missouri reservation. 1t is moi
yet known what chiefs will compose the
delegation. Chicago Times.

DOUN THE ANDES BY HIND CAR.
At Anchi, II, 900 feet above the Pa
cifc, the hand-car is loaded with it's
freight of six adventurous sight-seers,
closely braced together. 1t is of ordin-
ary construction and appearance, and
does not offer any temptations to a
pleasure excursion down the PERCEPTIONS
and tortuous gorge of the Rimac, except
that it affords an unobstructed view of
the shifting grandeur and terrors of the
route. AS we descend in our rough We
hicle, at the rate of sixty miles an hour /;
flying across aerial viaducts, or dashing
through sepulchral tunnels threatened,
now, to be crushed between converging
mountain walls, or precipitated from
pendulous terraces-the foaming Rimac
emulating the maddening speed now
glancing back to take a last look at the
glistening pinnacles of the receding
Andes or straining eagerly forward to
catch the first glimpse Of the royal city
of the plain and the shining ocean-the
magnifcence CT the scenery and the
magnitude of Mr.. Meiggs' achievement
break upon us with fresh force, and not
for any peril of the way would we fore
go the exhilaration and novelty of the
trip. Far otherwise was it with one of
the party-a stately Commodore. He
who could face unfinchingly a whole
broadside of murderous missiles sprung
from the car after ten miles over the
widest part of the route, declaring that
nothing would tempt him to repeat
such foolhardy experiment. For the
rest of us, the excitement and exhilara-
ton of this mode of travel became SD
attractive that we often went up to An
chi for the sole purpose of making the
down trip.-ScribneT' for august.

THE FAIRIES TIBLE LE-CLOTH


Here is the fairies table, vined
Over with hchened buhl-work bright,
Here is the cloth they left behind,
After their feast was done last night.
Never such napery met my eyes:
Never such cobweb woof I've found
Dotted with dewdrops damask-wise,
Bordered with seed-pearl all around.
Service of creamiest ily-ware;
Spoons of gold from the tulips heart;
Silver epergnes of callas rare;
Napkins fringed by the gentiaa's at.
Wine from the spice-wood's vintage, poured
Out of the bubbles Venice glass;
Bread from the pollen Of wild peas stored.
Gates from the buds OF sassafras;
Meats from the haZels sweets and sours
Fashioned alone for fairy lips,
Ont of the cores of pungent flowers,
Out of the purple haws and hips.
Fruits from the wintergreen, alder, grape.
Barberries red with ruby glows;
Wildings of elfin size and shape.
Folded in leaves of brie:-rose
Satiny toadstoos ranged as chairs
Moon mid-sky for 4 chandelier;
Crickets and tree-frogs grooming airs
Up in the green orchestra near.
All, what a supper it must have been.
Bountiful, zested, racy. rare:
All, if 1 only had fairy kin;
All, if L only had been there,
