AN OLD WILMINGTON CusToM-It used
to be the custom in this city, to drum
drunken and disorderly strangers out Of
town. The High Constable stood by the
side OF the vagrant, a drummer behind him
and at the first beat of the drum, the boys
and others who had collected rotten egg and
aud every other description of offensive
filth, would throw it at the unfortunate
night. This was continued until they
reached Brandywine Rridge, when they de-
sisted. The march Of civilization has put
a stop to these offensive proceedings.

By invitation of the Wilmington Chris,
tian Temperance Union, tho various tempe
rance organizations throughout the city,
met in the West Presbyterian church, last
evening. !
The meeting was opened by Rev. Dr.. Otte,
who made . few remarks appropriate to
the occasion. He was In perfect accord
with the temperance movement, and be-
lieved 1t was Gods work, and it was the
duty Of all Christians to take an earnest
interest in, 1t. He then led in prayer,
after which "Lord, We come before Thee,
now" was sung, the audience uniting.
After the singing, DR.. Otis read portion
Of the Scriptures. "Jesus lover of my
SOUL" was then sung.
Mr.. Cook of the Second Baptist church,
was introduced, who said there is not one
Of us who does not feel that God is in this
temperance movement. The question for
us is, what can we do to assist it, Chris.
tians have duty to perform In this work.
God places 1t upon them. Let the church
walk hand in hand with the temperance
people, and great results will follow.

the cross" was sung. At this point col
lection was taken up for the benefit of the
Holly Tree Inn. ,lt.s%~! Crs 4 o..
" Mr.. Ddtcher next addressed the audience.
He believed the temperance cause to be the
cause Of God; It was the cause of love and
humanity; the rescuing of our fellow nen
from the slums and abysses of sin and deg
radiation, lifting him up from the depths to
which rum had sunk him, and starting him
on the road to his God and heaven. Sign
ing the pledge did not save him alone, but
it clothed him in his right mind, and If he
kept It and trusted in God he was sure
to GEEK salvation. He would not give a
cent for faith without works-"By their
fruits ye shall know them" He delivered
very impressive address upon the duty Of
Christians, and closed with the hope that
all poor drunkards might be saved through
God and temperance. ~ %''& p
Brother Crouch led in prayer. "I'm
coming to the cross" was next sung.
DR.. Hicks was the next speaker. He
was in sincere sympathy with all the works

Godto speed the work. he closed with a

These melancholy days are indeed the
sad ones 10 people who live here. The
season when nalarial poison is thickesl
the air is autumn; and now We take Qui.
nine for breakfast, lunch and tea. II, by
chance We get hungry between times, We
fall back on it for piece" The diet
costs Us one cent per grain, and we usu.
ally make meal on five grains. Thus
you gee newspaper men can here live
within their means. Then We have 4
novel mode OF preparing this food, Of
which many Of your readers may never
have heard. To avoid the exceedingly
bitter taste Of the drug which remains 90
long after onCe impaired, we have little
round flour waters made about the size
and thickness Of demoIetiEed half.dol.
lar, and in this we neatly wrap the dose
and swallow it like an eel. Not only
those who are actually suffering with fever
and aEue dine so regularly on this medi.
cine, but very many use it as a prevent.
i've to keep of the shakes.
1t will now be seen what a staple com.
modify it is among Us. Coffee, tea and
whisky fall into the background as mere
secoudaries. Ague is the great draw back
to the progression Of the village; but the
natives are content TO suffer iIs paugs so
long IS they can enjoy the absence Of ty-
phoid fever and diseases Of that type.
You would be told that 1t was all a Joke If
you came here and inquired il there was
any ague. / was tnld this, and after a
tew,seyeTe chills and loss OF ten pounds
in fesh ] was reminded that that was
mere Joke also. But truly the reports
that 20 out from here are very much ex-
aggeIlted; it il not nearly so bad a many
residing away from here believe it to be.
A certain gentleman OF your city named
CreaSey formerly OF Wheeling once paid
this place an unavoidable business visit
and acted under tie straHge influence Of
these magnifed reports. With fear and
trembling he jumped of the train and
ran at his utmost speed TO the quarter
where his business lay, That done, he
ran back TO the depot in like manner, and
departed u the iiEst opportunity. never
afterwards learned whether he had chill
or not. II he did, it was the result Of his
overheAting on this oceaAiOn.
