Ex-Congressman Vance, of Ohio, is
still an inmate of an insane asylum, but
at last accounts was considerably better.
His friends hope that he will soon be
discharged free from his mental in
trinity.
Romances of the genuine old fashioned
kind are not yet altogether extinct. A
Dublin paper tells the story of an elope-
ment of the young daughter of retired
Major near Cork with her fathers
groom, strapping young countryman.
The girl was only l Z years old, and stole
from her room at night and fled with
her lover The pair were oyerhauled a
day or two after, and the girl was sent
to prison for q fortnight, while the
young Lothario was discharged and sent
packing. It doesn't appear that there
was any marriage, and there was GER
tainly no reconciliation and paternal
blessing, 20 the romance is hardly COM
plste.

browning !, Harem.

An incident illustrating the amenities
of Oriental life is thus re:ated by the
London Truth: II wonder howsmany
men on board our fleet in the sea of
Marmora are aware that at the back of
Princes Island, not seventy years ago,
the whole harem of the Sultan Sellm
was drowned, to the number Of 300.
The said Selim had been murdered by
his nephew, Moustapha, who in turn
was murdered by his brother Mahmoud
This last was much attached to his uncle
Selim, and he suspected that the women
had aided in his uncle's murder, or at
all events, had made no effort to save
his life. Many of them were quite
young, and the harem included both
French, Italian and German girls. Ac-
cording to the orders of the ferocious
barbarian, each one of them was tied up
In sack, and the next morning at day
break they We're embarked in barges
from the quay of the seraglio, and taken
by the eunuchs to the place appointed,
where they We're successively thrown
into the sea. Their screams were heard
miles away, and some not only got out
of the sacks, but threw themselves into
the water and endeavored to swim
ashore. They were overtaken by the
guards and were killed, either by being
run down or by beaten on the head
with heavy oars.

A Cool DEBToR.-A st. GATHERINGS

of his Thorold customers, saying
Come up. Want. to see you. As

FULMER As AN ARTIST.

The Frenchman who shrugged his should

philosophically criticised the country. A
good deal in the same strain might be said
about the United States, but we are I'm
proving. In this city we have cook, In
the line of shell fish and terrapin, who
is worthy Of mention.
Joe Fulmer prepares, and cooks Deviled
Crab beyond all doubt the first in the land.
His snapper soup is the production Of gen"
ius, and for roasting oysters, he is upsur-
passed. There is tenderness, gout, and
natural taste about his cookery that puts
to shame the pretenders, who serve up
everything as fatty as liver, as tough as
betting, and as greasy as a chinaman's que
This notice is tribute to man, who takes

THE COURT HOUSE PROJECT.


There is little game on the board to
build new court house in New Castle-s
project uncalled for and useless, involving
great expense, and profting no one but the
contractor who will get tae job. The Levy
Court is Democratic, and it will be con-
sidered as party measure, and the in
creased debt will have to be carried BY the
party. It is not new court house that is
needed in New Castle, but an increase OF
the terms of the court, say to four or six
per year, so as to insure prompt settlement
of differences which are the subject o1
litigation, and the reduction of the enor'
nous expense of keeping untried prisoners
charged with absxrdly trivial offences, siz
months without trial. We see no reason
why law should not be passed empower
ing one of our Judges to hold court O.
sessions on the frat Monday Of every month
as in other places, and clear out the jail
A couple of days would be ample for th'
work. 1t Is almost farcical to witness three
able Judges sitting to try ragged urcail
for stealing few apples or chicken.
The greater reason against the new ceur
house is that the county ought to be divided
and thereby enable Wilmington will
Brandywine and Christiana, as neV
county, to govern themselves.
