sparkling flame. which the wind will
not extihgiiish.

The passage of the silver bill had no per-

groaning with the weight of money looking
for investment. The Gold Bugs have start
ed rumor that Germony has directed the

in twenty four hours, and be glad to get
them at current rates. ...

propositions of Russia. The English Chan.

maseed nearly 400, 900 men in Bulgaria and
Roumelia. CASTELAR, in the Spanish Cortes
declared that Gibraltar ought to belong ,and
does of right belong to Spain. This declar-
alton of Castellar's may have It's inspiration
in St. Petersburg, as it cannot be forgotten
that Spain has quite large and efficient
iron clad navy, and Gibraltar may be the

LET the Industrial masses be up and pre-
pared to sustain their friends in Congress
by strong moral support. The Resumption
act most be repealed. 1t is one of shackles
imposed by facile Legislature upon in
dustry, ard has already beggard millions by
Its operations. All laws which do more
than give capital, the same guarantee of
protection. which the wages OF industry Sc
cure, are vicious and must be repealed. Be
calm, resolute, and strong, ye much abused
workers, and right will triumph before long.
Congress after weary waiting is in accord

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The Board of Education met In adjourned
session last evening, In the absence of the
President, DR.. Sbortlidge was called to the
chair.
The Committee on Teachers, to whom
was referred so much of lhe last monthly
report If the Superintendent rs relates to
the examinations of schools, report that
we have had the subject under consideration
and find that the difference in results of the
examinations are very marked and tend to
show great superiority Of teaching power
or lack of tact and ability on The part of
some teachers as compared with others of
the same grade and standing, should not
present itself in anything like the degree of
prominence which the results show and, If
continued, it will necessarily call for expla-
nations from teachers in the schools wherein
this thing occur in the future. Fer the pre-
sent the committee have deemed 1t best to
point out nothing particular to condemn, st
the same time we earnestly enjoin upon the
visiting committees of the schools, the ne.
cessity and propriety of urging teachers to
be careful that thess discrepancies should
be, If at all, of such rare occurrance as to
exceptions to the rule instead of the rule
Itself. Adopted.
The same committee reported that the
supply of candidate teachers for the train
ing school have become exhausted the COM
mittee have directed public examination
to be held In order to meet the deficiency.
The examination will take place on Satur-
day, March 2nd, in school No. 1, under the
direction of the Superintendent, as usual.
On motion of Mr.. Eckel the Committee
on Conference with Mr.. Bayard, was dis
charged without reporting. .v
Mr.. Eckel said that suit had been pend
ing between the Board, for year or so,
with Beughman, Thomas & Co., in refer~
ence to Harper's school geography the time
was coming when It was to be decided. He
stated that he was authorized to say that II
the matter was placed In Its original posi-
tion, the suit would be withdrawn and all
expenses paid. In conclu sion the gentleman
presented the following resolutions: - -
Resolved, That the Superint endent be, and
is hereby authorized to place upon the list
of text books and introduce into the schools,
without delay, Warren's primary geography
and Harper's school geography, in lieu of
Mitcbell's First Lessons. Mitchell's Primary
and New Intermediate geography's, in ac-
cordance with the rules and customs of ex-
change.
Adopted. 3D.. '.

ayes and nays were called as follows:

The Democracy of this couLtY will bear in

The Democracy of this county will bear in
mind the following:
The amended rules of the Democratic
party passed at the September convention,
gives Wilmington Senator and Represent
ative in every Legislature. There are to be
nominated by ballot upon day fixed by the
executive committee at the polling places in
each ward. Make M mistake. The power
has passed iuto the hands OF the people to
nominate their representatives by ballot,
and not as formerly at the September con-
vention, which has been abolished.

STRUCK OIL.
GILLEsPIE's DISCOVERY,

"struck oil at last, got to bed rock," j" was
the expression Of some oil sharps yesterday
in the neighborhood of Church and Taylor
streets. There was nothing talked of all
day in the neighborhood, but oil and Gill
lespie's luck. The news speedily spread
through the city and great crowds ofpeople
all suffering under an acute attack Of "oil
fever" visited "Gillespie's find" The facts
are freely told
Alexander Gillespie, who owns and oc.
cupies frame building on the corner
Church and Taylor streets, was troubled
with wet cellar. To remedy this g
a well in the bottom of the cellar to carry
off the uudesired water, which well has q
depth of about thirteen feet below the cellar
floor, about 10 feet below the surface of the
ground. A large rock, covering the entire
bottom OF the cellar, prevents further exca-
vation, except blasting be resorted to. Las
night and yesterday Mr.. Gillespie state
that he bailed about five barrels of the
mixed oil and water out of this we'll, before
he began to think much about the monetary
value of the product.
The oil burps without being refined, and
is almost straw color, which proves it to be
of "a very superior character, and was tested
by dozens of Mr.. Gillespie's neighbors
Upon examination of the we'll the oil could
be plainly seen trickliug through the side ol
the well about five feet from the bottom
The fluid seems to be composed of about on
part of oil to seven of wster. The oil is of
pale straw color, and looks very ruch like
refined petroleum. 1t burns well, giving
out good light. The discovery has at
