Colonel Bob Ingersoll, the Pagan lecturer,
who never loses an opportunity to get his
name in the newspapers, took his pen in hand
the other day and iudited the following gusl,-
ing epislle to Emma Abbott, the Christian
opera singer -
Since saw you years ago with the guitar,
your soul has burst into flowers. You were a
chrys sails then. To-day when ] listened TO
your voice | heard the rustling of wings.
Who could have thought that The little bleak
field OF your past, drifed with snow. over
which moaned the wind, would at last be
covered with the blossoms of song7 Aud yet
all this, il may be. WAS necessary. Ia your
voice there is mingled Tho paihos Of the past
aud the glad victory Of the present. You
have suffered, loved and succeeded. Your
voice is as fresh, as pure as the dawn. Allow
me 10 mingle my thanks and congratulations
with the general voice, and to remain, yours,

MARYLAND TYON.

The election in this State results in sending
five Democrats and one Republican TO Con-
gross. In every district there were either
Greenback candidates, Greenback Labor can
didates, Temperance candidates or lndepcn-
dent candidates besides the two old parties
nominees, and in some districts there were all
of these departures with the Republicans max
ing common war upon the Democracy. So
the result is one over which the Democracy
can well rejoice as these movements drew from
the Democratic vote. The following is the
delegation elect:
LIST district, Daniel N. Henry, of Dorchester
county.

Senator Bayard on last Friday night smoke

Senator Bayard on last Friday night spoke
in Philadelphia in behalf of the Democracy,
and bis reception amounted to nothing less
than an ovation--a deserved compliment in
which men of all political persuasions Joined
in. Upon the stage Republicans were seated
by the side Of Democrats and in the vast audi
ence were rampant Radicals who in admira-
ton and esteem of the country's most con-
sistent statesman had covered up their animos-
ity for the time TO give respectful and inter-
ested attention. The Philadelphia press, both
Democratic and Republican, were loud in their
praises OF the orator and his effort.
There is no man in the country in whom the
whole people place so much confidence as they
do in Mr. Bayard. Through long and bril-
liant political career he has never proved rec
reant to his duties nor to the principles of
which he is at all times q ready and able ad-
vocate, and there is no Democrat known in
National affairs who commands by the very
force and honesty of his character more re-
spect from the Republicans as does Senator
Bayard. A man of broad experience, with
wisdom 10 apply that knowledge, a statesman
aud Democrat in whom there is no guile is
n man wel-ftted to lead the Democracy in
80. As President he would inspire in the
people respect and pride, something unknown
for many years. A good man, a wise states
man and a good Democrat would make a
good President beyond doubt.

Whose Money Is 1t.

The Dover Sentinel reports the follow
ing curious case:
Mr.. John Maclary, of Leipslc, in this
county, died on the 9th day of December,
1870, leaving widow and several child
rem. One son, William Thomas, was
supposed to be living in Wisconsin. Mr..
Robert B. Jump, executor of the estate,
after settling up, had in his hands 49,
390.65, as the share of William Thomas.
Upon inquiry, the following facts were
revealed: On May 26, 1870, the said
VIM. Thomas left his wife, he having no
children, in Wisconsin, TO go to Kansas,
and wrote to her on the 11th day of Sep
tember, 1870, the last time she has ever
heard from him. She says that she has
an affidavit from man that saw him in
Kansas on the 18th day of December,
1870. The money has been deposited in
the Farmers Bank for the past Z years.
The widow, through her attorney, Hon.
Eli salisbury, is claiming the whole fund
under the laws of Wisconsin. Jacob
Maclary, the only own brother of VIM.
Thomas, claims one-half of the money as
his brother died, or is supposed to have
died, without issue. Other points in the
case make il one of the most important
that has arisen here for years. If it
turns out that something has been heard
OF him since the date of his letter, Sept
1ith, can his wife claim anything? Mr..
John w. Cullen has been granted letters
of administration, and has given bond,
and demanded the money of the Bank;
but they haye not paid it over yet, wait
ing till Tuesday to investigate the mat
ter.

A sToRR BROKEN INTO AND LARGE
NUMBER OF ARTICLES STOLEN.
Some time during last night, or early
this morning, the store of ID. q. Carey,
at Wyoming, Del, was broken into and
robbed of large amount of goods. The
discovery was made by Mr.. Carey him
self, who upon going to the store found
that during the night some parties had
gained admittance to the store by boring
hole in the door, and by inserting their
arm had slipped the lock. Upon exami-
nation it was found that several watches
had been stolen, among she number be-
ing one valued at 500, which had been
left there for repairs. Besides the watches
the burglars also stole about 500 worth
of cigars, and various other articles. The
loss will amount to several hundred dol
lars, which the proprietor is unable to
bear No clue has yet been found as TO
who the robbers were, but the engineer
of the Delaware train north which ar
rived in this city at $50 o'clock, this
morning, he heard the noise of a carriage
being driven from the vicinity. 1t is
thought that one of the robbers came up
on the train this morning.
