special to the Gazette.
NEW CASTLE DEL, Nov. 27, 1S7S.-l
Court re-assembled at three o'clock.
There was quite large number OF spec
tatOrs present, drawn in for shelter, by
the disagreeable state of the weather
without. There was no business before
the court.and the only thing that disturb
ed 1t equanimity was the following little
incident:
During recess hour fitting through the
doorways, meandering thoughtfully dis
consolately around the vacant cham bers,
and buttonboiing every lawyer she would
meet, was an elderly woman. In one hand
carefully tied up in napkin, she had a
bundle of papers; while in the other she
carried rather dilapidated specimen of
an umbrella.
Her countenance was woe begone ard
her every appearance gave evidence of
mind that was struggling upon the bord-
ers of distraction.
When court vas opened this woman
came in the room ami standing patiently
in corner quietly waited until the court
was dlsengag ID.
AT last an opportunity came. His Honor
Judge Wootten was abstractedly drum
| ming with his fingers upon the desk be-
fore him. The woman advanced and
bending low with tears in her eyes and in
a broken voice she began to pour into
| the ears OF the court an account of her
| troubles.
Her name was Hauser. She had had
a pair of horses run over. They had
| been cut to pieces on the Wilmington
and Western railroad, and she wanted
damages--reliable damages. The horses
were worth $3.50. The railroad company
had offered her $50 but that wasn't
satisfactory.
She wasn't satisfied with her lawyer,
and she wanted her case settled.
"Well, what do you want" kindly
asked the court.
And as reply she carefully unwound
the napkins, and took from its fold the
package of papers and laid them before
His Honor.
"Yes," muttered the Court, "but we
can't do anything for you; we can't try
your case"
I The woman gathered up her papers
which were handed back to her, and with
sobs choking her utterance she turned &c
go.
"You will have TO get lawyer, ol
you'll be non-suited," said His Honor.

London Atmosphere.

London, England, has a most de lightful atmosphere. There is nothing fiimsy or gauzy about the air of Lon don. In the language of slang 1t is not too thin" There is something real and tangible about it; something you can see, and feel, and realize; not the transparent stuff we have in Detroit. It must be seen and felt to be appre- ciated. It has such a reality. such a substance, in fact, that if it surrounded Chicago it would undoubtedly be heavily mortgaged. London's atmo- sphere owes it consistency to the fumes arising from the many coal fires of the city. In a paper read before the So- ciety of Arts it was estimated that the coal annually consumed in London is S, 100000 tons, equal at one per cent. of to SO,OOO tons, or as oil of vitrol to 245,O00 tons. This is more than five times the amount given of from all the sulphuric acid works lG the country.-Free Press.

DisappOintment.

The bard has sung; God never formed a soul Without it's own peculiar mate to meet Its wandering half when ripe to crown the whole Bright plan Of bliss most heavenly, mos, complete. But thousand evil things there are that hate To look on happiness; these hunt. i'm. pede, And, leagued with time, space, circum- stance and fate, Keep kindred heart from heart, to pine. and pant, and bleed. And as the dove to far Palmyra flying From where the native founts of Antioch beam, Weary, exhausted, longing, pantlng, sigh ing, Lights sadly atthe deserts bitter stream. So many a soul, o'er lies drear desert far Ing, Loves pure, congenial spring unfound, unquafred, Suffers-recoils-then, thirsty and despair ing or what it would, descends and sips the nearest draught!

Something About our New United
 States Marshal

The President has appointed Major
 Crawley P. Dake, of Romeo, Michi- gan, to be United States Marshal of
 Arizona. Major Dake, at the date of
 his appointment was Chief Deputy
 United States Marshal at Detroit. He
 is an old Uuion soldier, having raised
 a company of 122 men at the outbreak of the Rebellion. He was then gazett- ed as Captain of the Fifth Michigan Cavalry. He was in all the fights aud skirmishing of the Curtis brigade on the Potomac, and in Western Virginia until 1865, when he returned home with the rank of Major and the ap- pointment of Lieutenanl-COlOnel to as
 sist in raising the Thirtieth Michigan Infantry. The close of the war, how ever, happily prevented his regiment from taking the field Major Dake was shortly af!erward appointed Uni ted States Assessor of Internal Revenue, and served in that capacity until the consolidation of his district. The De- troit Evening News closes an account of Major Dake's past services by stat ting that his record as a soldier and ofice-holder is unexceptionable," and that the Territory of Arizona may be congratulated Ion it's acquisition of a gallant soldier, an honest and efficient official, and a courteous gentleman" "

The oldest of the white elephants
 which, the Times of India says, was
 born in ITO, died in its temple of Bangkok in November last. Every one knows that this famous white ele- plant, before which whole people bow the knee, is the emblem of the kingdom of Siam. It is honored with the most beautiful presents, for the In dians, full of the idea of metamorpho- sis, still believe that so majestic an ami. nal could be animated by only the spirit of a God or of an Emperor Each white elephant possesses its palace, a vessel of gold, and harness resplendent with jewels. Several mandarins are attached to it's service, and feed it with cakes and sugar cane. The King of Siam is the only parsonage before whom it bows the knee, and similar salutation is rendered it by the Mon arch. The deceased idol was accorded magnificent funeral. A hundred Buddhist priests officiated at the cere- mony. The three surviving white ele- plants, preceded by trumpets, and fol lowed by an immense concOurse of people, accompanied the funeral car to inc hank Of the Meuam where fhe King and his noble lords received the remains, which were transported to the bank for burial.
