THE VOTES IN THE COUNTY AND
STATK.-The votes at the Nomination
Election exceeded half the whole vote in
the county at the hotly contested Presi-
dental election in Nov. 1876.
Then the vote in the county was 49,
G67, half of that would be 1884. The
vote polled by the Democrats in 1876 was
j,613. On the Sth instant, the vote for
Sheriff, was 6,760, being 426 more than
half the vote in the county in 1876; 147
more than the Democrats polled in 1876.
This should guarantee the election of
Pyle and Butz in November by 1000 ma
jority.
In 1876 the vote in the State was:
In New Castle Co. 1867

WASHINGTON, June 19.--All the public
and other bills presented to the Presi-
dent were approved. 1t is roughly esti-
mated that the aggregate of the appro-
priations made by Congress for the fiscal
year ending with June, 1873, will be
about one hundred and seventy millions
of dollars, the appropriations for rivers
and barbors being twice rs large as in
1877 and five millions and half added
to pay the Canadian fisheries award.

New Castle cast more votes than both

WITH man in the House competent
10 do the business OF committee, and to
maintain himself before that body in a
masly, sensible defense of his action,
Delaware could receive a half-a-dozen
more lucrative appointments for her peo-
pie, who have not the number in the
public service they are entitled to. We
want no lazy, lounging idler there, TO
pick up saiary of $1,000 a year-payable
IN checks of $500 monthly. We want
man there who is able and indefatigable,
who will soon be felt and recognized in
the committee room and on the floor of
the House.
Since the days of Louis MeLane, Della
ware has never been represented in the
House as she should be. We begin to
feel ashamed of her as State whenever
the House is referred to. We hope that
high and honorable position will no long
er be gwen away as reflex of the SEN
ate. 1t is the one office of the people
through which they speak once in two
years, and it is too bad that they shall be
ruled out by hidden aristrocratic hands
Let the people speak out and demand OF
the conventions of both parties able men
rs candidates for the House. Let them
be chosen from any part of the State
They represent the State and not the
county. 1t is better to get an able man in
the House in this way as he could secure
TOUR times as much as his salary to citi
zens in each county, through appoint
ments, than TO vote man the position
to enable him TO put $4,000 or $1,000 il
his pocket for worthless service; a ser
vice that is disreputabe to the State,

have not been affected. This proves the
vanity of these struggles between peo-

day undermined by frightful danger

WHO KN0Wss

Why must we, then, be sad,
When nature is so glad?
Not half can utterance all her JOY unfold,
Though she runs DER and DER
The strings tried long before,
To body forth the life that's never old.
Not for our sakes arrayed,
Though we would fain persuade
Our foolish hearts that she in servant gufse,
Spreads all her varied show
Before us as we go,
To win approving Chances from our eyes.
All, not Though in broad glee
She laughs where all can see
In leagues of dandelions all dewy wet,
All to herself she smiles
In far off ocean isles,
And in dim hooks in shy blue violet.
And though she dances still
Along the sheer brown hill
In scarlet glow of swinging columbine,
In gentian she smiles slow,
AS happy maid might go,
She wants no added bliss,
No praise for this or this;
Simply she is so glad she can not rest,
But still must evermore
In every way outpour
The exceeding bliss that stirs within her
breast.
No care for us has She;
And we, alas and we
Can look but sadly at her innocent play;
Shut out from Paradise,
We see with other eyes;
The flaming sword has rent all wells away.
Is there then for us too
No life forever new?
Or is that life new but in lying care,
Till on his far Off throne
Our God must hear alone
One cry OF pain uprising every where?
Yet had It better been
We still had staid within,
Nor tasted fruit that lets us not forget!
God knows If it be So
The days go on below,
And overhead the stars, they rise, they set.

A RUSSIAN Colonel lately appointed

A RUSSIAN Colonel. lately appointed
chief policemaster of one of the most
populous towns of the Baltic provinces,
has hit upon very novel plan for SUBJ
DUNG fishwives. "You must be locked
up in the same cell until you have kissed
each other.'' This was invariably the
sentence of the new magistrate in every
case of female broil which was brought
before him. He knew very well that
although kissing is habit with Russian
men, It is not much in use with the
women Of Muscovy, least OF all with the
fishwives. The excited women rallied
for time louder than ever, protested
that they would die sooner than give
this humiliating sign of reconciliation,
and then, after few hours confine
ment, called the jailer, and informed
him that they had kissed. AS the con-
ciliatory act was without witnesses, they
were told that they must repeat the kiss
publicly in the market-place. They
were compelled, in the midst of their
sisters in trade, to kiss each other three
times.

An Ant Dairy.

The large leaves have been converted
into dairy-farms by a colored family
name Fornaica, otherwise known as
black ants. The race to which this
family belongs have for years been no.
torious as slave-drivers and cruel task
masters. They are extremely warlike,
and go into battle with regularly or
ganized battalions, making slaves of
their prisoners, who, yielding to the
force of circumstances, become faithful
servants, and procure all the food that is
eaten by their idle masters. The family
living under my veranda, although
fierce and determined in their nature,
have apparently devoted themselves ex-
clusively to dairy-farming, having
numerous herds of cattle-cows and
calves-that are regularly MIXED by
their owners, who drink the milk for
their food. One of the larger leaves of
the Virginia creeper forms rich
meadow, where from fifty to seventy. five
cows and calves can pasture. These
little domestic animals are known as
nphides, and it is certainly an extraor-
binary sight to see the black ant to whom
they seem to belong 60 through the field
and milk these little cows. He carries
with him a long whip (antenne), with
which he strikes the little docile animal
on the back, when it Immediately de-
posts the milk that its master eagerly
drinks. When the pasture gives out, the
ant carries his herd to another leaf, or
field; and when the little calves are old
enough to be MIXED, he begins their
education by biting them.
1t is curious also to see the owner de-
fend his flock from an intruder. Let
another black ant come into the field
that is on to the leaf-and he attacks
him with great fury, driving him from
the premises at once. ALI this, and
more too, my lens shows me of my
neighbours peculiar habits. | find that
if | venture too close and arouse the
suspicion of the dairyman by placing
my hand or finger near his little farm,
that am warned by sharp bite to be
more circumspect in my movements,
and not to become too familiar on a
short acquaintance.
M. Fowel, who has given very close
study to the ants of Switzerland, relates
some very remarkable instances of an
intelligence in these little creatures
which seems almost incredible, and, in
fact, it is almost impossible for any one
to comprehend the absolute mental ca
pacity of these tiny, and for the most
part Industrious jewellers on the earth,
unless he seeks through the medium OF
his own observation closer knowledge
OF their habits and modes of life.-Eq-

THE use of poisons for the protection

The use of poisons for the protection
of growing crops against their common
enemy, the fly and beetle, has become
SO frequent that farmers are apt to for
get the properties of the article they are
handling, and serious results often fol-
low its careless use. From many places
we hear of large numbers of feathered
beauties dying from the eating of the
potato vine upon which Paris green has
been busted. Quail, orioles, and rob-
ms suffer severely in this way. Dead
fish are found floating upon the surface
after eating the bugs washed into the
ponds and streams. A melancholy in
cident is the death of promising girl
in Connecticut from eating currants
upon which Paris green had blown from
a potato field.

In THE WHOLE HISTORY OF
MEDICINE.

No preparation has ever performed
such marvellous cures, or maintained so
wide a reputation as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL, which is recognized as the
worlds remedy for all diseases of the throat
and lungs. It's long continued series of
wonderful cures in all climates has made
it universally known as a safe and relia-
BILE agent to employ. Against ordinary
colds, which are the fore runners of more
serious d~isorder,it acts speedily and surely
always relieving suffering, and often saw
ing life. The protection it affords, by its
timely use in the throat and lung disor-
ders of children, makes it an invaluable
remedy to be kept always on hand in
every home. No person can afford to be
without it, and those who have once used
it never will. From their knowledge of its
composition aud effects, Physicians use
the CHERRY PICTORIAL extensively in
their practice, aad Clergymen recommend
it: It is absolutely certain in its reme-
dial effects, and will always cure where
cures are possible.
