An elegantly dressed female lately

in Paris, and asked to see some valuable
gold pins. While she was examining
them man began playing barrelorgan
before the door. The music seemed to
annoy the lady, and stepping to the
door she threw piece of money to the
man and told him to go away, which he
did at once. On returning to the counter
she said that none of the pins suited her.
but that as some compensation for the
trouble she had given she would buy q
brooch. She accordingly chose one

the shop, when the jeweler missed a
diamond pin of great value from among
those she had been looking at. He ac'
cordingly stopped his customer, who
seemed highly indignant, and insisted
on the jewelers. wife searching her.

The Lord Chief Justice of England,
Sir Alexander Cockburn, Bart, was
offered peerage, but declined it. He Is
bon r'uant, and eats asparagus all the
year round. No dinner party is ever
organized in London without asking him
to grace the board. He quaffs port.
The Duke of Buckingham and Chandos
is scraping up all he can to pay off his
inherited debts. Queen Victoria, admir-
ing his integrity, gave him the Cover
norship of Madras. His grace has
brought up his daughters in the sensible
way, and dinner cooked by their lady
ships is worthy of Francatelli.
The Marquis of Salisbury comes from
old stock; he is tall, thick-set man, and
grows a full, black beard; he prefers
riding in a cab to his own elegant
brougham; if anxious to see whether
you have any defects in your personal
appearance, walk behind his lordshiP,
and his cost will serve you as looking
glass. His tailor's bills were never large.
The Duke of Portland, even in London,
is not much heard of. On subscription
lists he puts down the figure l, and, after

an invariable rule. When there has
been great distress in England he has
employed one thousand laborers at a
time to dig pit, and ordered them to fill
it up again. He is a martyr to host of
bodily ailments.

What do you here?
We looked to see YOUR gracious blooms arise
Mid soft and wooing airs in gardens green,
Where venturesome brown bees and butterflies
Should hail you queen.
Here is no bee nor glancing butterfly;
Thev lied rapid wings before the snow;
Your sister lilies a:d them down TO die,
Long, long ago
And here amid the slowly dropping rain

Come with thy bitter, whica shall be made

Governor Palmer testified before the

repeatedly, but in vain, to persuade the
Louisiana Returning Board to fill up
their legal number by the admission of a
democrat, as the law of the State plainly
required, but that they refused. Also that
the two negro members of the Board
were pursuaded that If Mr.. Tilden was
elected the blacks would all be returned
to slavery, and Casenave believed that
elect the republican candidates at all haz-
ards by the action of the Returning Board
was "a war measure and a great and sa-
cred duty to his race" These were the
kind of men who sat as judges without
appeal upon the vote of the State OF

A constituency that is so debased as TO
allow itself to be underated, loses the
most ennoblng quality of freemen. And
no man shows the finest qualities of a
statesman and high-minded gentleman,
who will silently listen to fulsome flattery
bestowed upon himself while at the same
time the Ignorance and vulgarity of the
writers lead them to detract from and
mlsrepresent his constituents. Such pub
hcations are repugnant to the people OF
every State and to Delaware especially
a statesman honors himself in conform.
ing his conduct to the wishes of his peo.
pie. y British statesman does not dare
to oppose the will Of the people; such
course is sure TO bring him down to the
hustings again where he:may be re-elect-
ed or beaten as the voters determine.
The Democracy of Delaware cannot
afford to permit any man to continue 10
misrepresent the party. To do this is to
be false to all principle; and to risk the
entire disruption Of the party. No peo-
pie can afford to be trified with. Politics
IS no child's play. 1t is a serious work
and II party becomes blow as to ac.
knowledge Itself dependent upon one
man, and to weigh his personal interests
higher than that of the party, the exist.
