BETWEEN THE Cur AND THE LIP.-The
proverb that many things fall out be-
tween the cup and the lip is a literal
version OF one in Latin" "NutO enter
g0culG Hbu caduRf--thc origin of which
was AS follows A king OF Thrace had
planted vineyard, when one 'of his
slaves, whom he had much oppressed in
that very work, prophesied TINT he
should never taste OF the wine produced
in it. The monarch disrcgurded The pre-.
diction, and when ut m entertainment
he held glasstul Of his own wine made
from the grapes of that vineyard, he sent
for the slave and asked him what he
thought Of his prophecy now; to which
the other replied MANY things fall out
between the cup and the lip" and bad
scarcely delivered this singular response
before news was brought in that n mon
strous boar was laying waste the tavo-
rite vineyard. The king, in rage. put
down the cup which he held in his hand,
and hurried out with his people to at
tack the boar but being too eager, the
boar rushed upon him and killed him
without his having tasted of the wine.
Such is the story related by some of the
Greek writer's, and, though evidently
apocryphal, it certainly is productive OF
good practical moral.

MORE SHOT THAN HONEY; OR,
A TERRIBLE NIGHT FOR
WHALEBONE.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In Que of our shoe
shops in the quiet little town of St.
Georges, a few nights ago, party of
young men were assembled when the
subject of the dangers of bee-tree taking
was brought up. A long, timber young
man who goes by the name of Whale
bone Jack, (very appropriately said that
he had taken many bee-tree and would
not hesitate to take another, and further
said that he would stand fire if all his
comrades fell. After Whalebone had
retired for the night it was proposed by
one of the party to try his pluck. A
night was appointed and Whalebone was
informed to be ready. About sundown
on the appointed day two men might be
seen going across the fields with guns in
the direction of well knowR chestnut
tree in the woods of Mr.. f. 8. McWhor-
ter, about a mile from town, which
| Whalebone supposed to be inhabited by
these little stingers. About an hour la
ter three men were seen going in the
same direction as the former with our
hero on the lead with a washing tub,
paddles, hatchet -and saw dangling at
his side. One might have supposed him
to be Kit Carson or some of our famous
scouts making preparations for forty
days cruise. AT length they arrived at
the tree, and the work begun. In few
moments the report of gun was heard,
when one of his comrades fell, shouting
"bloody murder! am shot am shot ~
Whalebone now began to get excited !;
his hair stood on end, his eyes snapped,
and he looked like anything but hu-
man being. On turning around he saw
his other comrade on the run. Being of
the same opinion he started in hot pur-
suit and had soon overtaken him, when
| another shot was fired and that comrade
fell, leaving poor Whalebone to wade
through alone. With several desperate
bounds he cleared The woods and then
started at 2.14 gait through peach
orchards, brush-fences and thorn-hedges.
| Any one hearing the noise would have
supposed it to be locomotive looking
for railroad, or an Alderny bull looking
for patch of green clover; but it proved
TO be nothing but Whalebone doing some
very tall walking, AT last, with wash
tub on the lead, EFhalebone second and
hatchet and saw bringing up the rear, he
landed on the wharf just below town.
Any person hearing him coming up that
wharf, and not knowing how well our
country was fortified, would have sup
posed him to have been the united ar
mics of Turkey and Russia making an
invasion through our land. AT this ter
rible rate of speed he soon reached his
longed for abode. Throwing off his over
coat, long boots and cap, stretching him-
self upon the 1uor and giving deep Sigl
of relief he resolved to never again at
tempt to take another bee-tree. hardly
think he will. HONEY BEE.

LETTER FROM SAM. TO WNSEND
For the Delaware Gazette.

MR.. EDIToR:-A person showed me
last Saturdays Commercial with an arti-
Gle in it headed "RepeaJers," aud then
goes on to give the history OF a political
transaction that happened some years
ago in this hundred. SAID article is
wrong in several particulars. In the
first place. there were nine men, and not
eight; and they v ere not 'repeaters,' but
murderers; and Wright, the Republican
Marshal, of Appoquiuimink, Qf such
specimen of humanity was entitled to
the name of U. 5. Marshal,) said to me
that these nine men We're from Marshal
Gregory, Of Philadelphia, and was sent
down into Delaware by wilmington Re-
publicans in charge of Republican then
of this hundred but now OF Wilmington,
who got off at Townsend and sent these
nine men on to BlackDird. Their orders
from the Wilmington parties who sent
them was no doubJ to kill, cripple and
break up the election at Blackbird that
day, and steal or break up the ballot
boxes of AppoqtIlinnk hundred, and
thus, by that black-hearted, Wilmington
RepublIcan act, destroy the Democratic
ascendancy in this county. Aud that
yillaiuous act lei to the making of two
Democratic hundreds out Of Appoquini-
mink and Blackblrd hundreds. AS to
David y. Rose being deputy sheriff on
that eventful election day. | am not
aware OF 1t. And as TO any one of the
nine murderer a,klh5 me where the
nearest telegraph oltice was, 1t Is fat
he; no sIcn question WIS asked me.
Nor did .aese murderous rascals get. l
am aware OF the tact that ten Dem 'crats,
with the assistance ot Elias N. Ware, a
r publican, drove these men from The
polls. Soon after the voting commenced
the late jesse Sharpe sent me letter by
a Lrusty negro To Look out for the ballot
boxes. [ showed the letter 10 our friends
aud have the letter now; aud when 1
demanded all investi CATION by the Legis-
lature they We're too uiean or cowardly
to act. SAMUEL Fo"NsEND.

VELOCITY OF SAP.

Prof. Pfitzer, of Heidelburg, has made
some interesting experiments on the ve-
lociLy of ascending sap in plants. He
first allowed the plants to droop their
leaves from want of water. They were
then freely watered. In one case, leaves
ten inches above the soil began to revive
in three minutes after Watering. In 9TH
er instances, the velocity was as high as
sixteen feet in an hour, and in other ex-
treme cases, by the use of the lithium
nitrate, thlrty-two feet an hour was OBJ
tanned in bright sunshine. More recent
|, experiments were made with indigo
and carmine, such as is used by micro
scopists for water and lithium, with SINH
lar results. Prof Koehne employed
shoots cuts under mercury, and in few
minutes they showed rice of mercury
in the stem from twenty to thirty-eight
centimetres, Or about eight to fifteen
inches. In the sunfower, which is well
known to throw of water rapidly, the
sap was found In an extreme case to
move at rate Of more than eighty feel

AN ARRESTED NEGRO EMPTIES A RE-
VoLvER AND ESCAPES.
A serious shooting affray occurred at
Rsd Bank, N. Y, on Tuesday. A negro
whose name is not known was dancing
/ in front of the Globe Hotel, and WaS
Ordered by officer Morris to move on.
This he refused to do, and the officer
placed him under arrest. As the officer
was taking HIM to the "smoke house" a
name given to the lock up, companioa
of the negro interfered, and, handing the
prisoner pistol, told him to shoot. The
officer attempted to secure the pistol, but
the negro tripped him up and, taking de-
liberate aim, fired. The ball entered the
pollceman's abdomen
The negro then turned around and
fired at the throng gathered about the
hotel, emptying every one OF the seven
chambers of the revolver. Everybody
fled and the negro escaped across the
river, leaving two wounded men besides
the policeman on Broad street. One of
these men is named LoDgstreet. He re-
ceived pistol ball in the head. The
ball has not yet been extracted. The
other wounded man Is named Shneid-
ller. He received a ball in his right leg.
The firemen and police went in search OF
the negro in stages, but he has not been
a. rested. The man who gave him the
pistol and told him to shoot has been ar
rested and is in the lock up. He is a
German, but refuses to give his name.
The physicians pronounce Longstreet's
injuries fatal, it being thought that the
ball has reached the brain.

THE bridge las made slow progress this week. Until the pile driver gang gets a pier or two ready, the carpenter gang has to remain comparatively idle. The first permanent pile was driven last Saturday thirty-odd feet in just one hour and five minutes from the time the stick was hooked onto and drawn out of the water. Two piles were driven that afternoon after the arrival of NIT. Seth Green, the new 'boss, ? who, by the way, says the building of this bridge is not so much of job as people seem to think. The piles for one pier are about driven. Two are driven perpen 1icu- larly, and around these arc driven fifteen others at an angle to them, the lower ends diverging. Driving them at an angle is accomplished by pulling over the top of the machine until the hammer can drop on the proper slant.

TEXAS PACIFIC men can derive fresh hope from the visit to Yuma of Gov. Brown, vice president of that road, and Col. Craw- ford, late engineer on it. After inspecting the river and posting themselves by inter- viewing the SENTINEL, they started for San Diego by the old stage road. On his return east he will be able to stick the papers full of facts about the San Diego desert, they being already about as full as they can hold of points on the hafbor. The San Diego people, with customary liberal ity, subscribed S4OO0 for paying Col Craw- ford to cierone Gov Brown around; they could have got no better man for it. Gov. Brown asserts very positively that his road will obtain from the next Congress all the concessions it requires, that it can now get all the money it needs and that it will be built on the direct route to San Diego, via Yuma.

Dona Ana County of New Mexico pos sesses some interest for Yuma from the fact that to that county belonged all of Arizona south of the Gila, including the site of this town, prior to the organization of Arizona in 1863. In that county are recorded all the deeds affecting interests here prior to that date. According to the Independent, published at Mesilla, thieves and assassins have organized so strongly in Dona Ana County as to feel safe against the law. A determined raid is being made against them by that journal and it's editor, which seems to be justified by the reports from there constantly reaching us. It publishes the following:
 John s. Chism with a large herd of cat tie crossed the river near Fort Craig sev- eral days ago going west to Arizona. It is also reported that he intended coming this way, but was d:terred upon learning that the organized band of thieves that infests this county was lying in wait to plunder him. Mir. Chism has large number of men and will make & good fight if at lacked.

overflow of the Gila A subscription list of owners of the property in danger has been started with a view to ascertaining to what extent they are willing to take measures for securing their premises: The price asked by the railroad company is very low, and one that can be made only while their construction force is 1t work here on grades and building sites. The lowest contract price paid by them for moving dirt was twenty cents per cart load, hauled distance of 250 yards, with percentage added for increased distance. This opportunity is one which will not again offer, and it stands parties at inter- est to consider it carefully.

TEE TRANSFER BOAT now running be- tween Yuma and the railroad terminus at Colorado Station, one mile below here and on the opposite bank of the river, is the old Colorado. She was built in California in 1862. shipped down here in pieces, and put together at the mouth of the river During the fifteen years of her life on this river she has earned her cost twenty times over. But her days of usefulness are num- bered. Her timbers are in an advanced stage of decay; her futtock timbers, made of California laurel, yield readily 10 the pres- sure of finger and thumb; paintless, re- pairless and unsightly, she will probably be kept in commission until the finished bridge brings passengers and freight to this side of the river. Then the old Col orado will probably be broken up. She possesses the peculiarity of obeying her helm more readily than any other boat on the river; the why is question to be an- swered by boatmen. Unfit to brave the swift current and rocky bars of the upper river, the Colorado still does excellent ser vice as ferTyboat between Yuma and the railroad terminus. On this route her hull can come in contact only with soft mud and yielding sand She runs in no water deep enough to sink her half way to her
