Grace Church Reunion,

The annual reunion at Grace Church,
Brandywine Hundred, was celebrated
yesterday in the new church, with un-
usual enthusiasm. A large number of
the neighboring clergy were in attend
ance, and made excellent addr, sses on
the important themes assigned them.
The congregations were large both after
noon and evening, ami showed their
deep interest by close attention to the
several speaker. Throughout, the mu-
sic was hearty and congregational. A
marked feature of these reunions is the
large-hearted hospitality and cordial
welcome shown at the f.stal board. This
bringing together of an entire congrega-
ton, from the hoary head down to the
youngest infant in religious worship and
social enjoyment, tends powerfully to
bind together all hearts and unite all
hands, in promoting the welfare of the
church. May Grace Church never lack
an equally happy reunion.

Delaware Western Dividend.

The Delaware Western Railroad Co.,
is now engaged in paying a dividend OF
one per cent. on the capital stock, at the
company's office at Water and Market
streets. This is the first dividend paid
by this company, which is the successor
of the Wilmington Il Western railroad
Co. The present stockholders were the
first mortgage bondholders of the w. &
w. r. R., who foreelosed the mortgage on
account of default in payment Of inter-
est, and bought the road at sale, ordered
by the U. S. Court. The dividend though
small, is an indication that one railroad
at least, is recovering from the financial
panic, and getting on paying basis.

journals are now discussing the means
tor accomplishing the abolition ofsIavery
in Cuba 1t appears that all parties are
gradually coming TO the conviction that
a pecuniary compensation is out of the
question, for its amount would be very
large, and the treasury of the Island
could not raise 1t. The solution of the
slavery question will un,imely be with

Since the Pan-Anglican and Pan
Presbyterian councils, the converting
of a Pan Methodist assemblage has
been merely question of time.
The Southern Methodists now sug-
gest the Christmas of 1884 as the
time aud Boston as the place for
this gathering; they are for calling
it an Ecumenical Conference, which
is clearly an Improvement on the
rather awkward Greek English COM
pound. If sentimental considera-
tons were to govern in the matter,
the place for all others for holding
such "a conference would seem to be
the City Road Chapel, London,
where John Wesley preached, and
near which his body lies. But Bos-
ton is a remarkable town, and the
delegates from abroad would no
doubt see much to interest and sur
prise them during their visit.

San Stefano, which a recent treaty
has made historical, was originally
a colony of fishermen founded 10y
Neapolitan emlgrants, whose de-
scendants still live there and sell
fish and oysters. 1t is a delightful
retreat, which in summer attracts
foreign merchants and Turkish func-
tionaries. 1t is embellished with ar
tistic little palaces, and delights in
a well appointed hotel. The village
is situated n little above the level of
the sea, and upon an expansive
plain remarkably prolific of vegeta-
ton. A railroad connects San Ste
fano with ConstantinOple, which is
reached in halt an hour. The ears
traverse the most picturesque quar-
ter of the city, that Inhabited by
Bulgarian gardeners and Greek arti-
sans. AT the station of Yonikale the
traveller sees the ruins of a wall
which of old surrounded ByZantium,
and the Castle of the Seven Towers,
where Padiscia once confined the
representatives of the foreign powers
that had offended the Sublime Porte.
1t does not seem that any Turks set
tie at San StefanO. No bars are seen
upon the windows, an evident indi-
cation that the harem is not in vogue
there.

Unless all signs fail, there is 60
ing to be a vigorous shaking up
of rascality among the Indian agen-
cies shortly. The interior and war
departments are working together
tremendously and effectively in the
effort to expose and break mp an ex-
tensive system of dishonesty among
the officials intrusted with the con-
duct of affairs at the Sioux agencies.
Already some of the thieves have
been surprised by the sudden and
unannounced appearance among
them of agents who can neither be
bullied nor bribed, and who are not
lacking in either the ability or tho
determination to go to the bottom of
things.

Arthur violated the condition, was

accepted by the convict and violated,

In nine cases out of ten mans life

the fondness or vanity of father or
mother has kept him from hard

of taking his turn at pitching off he
slowed away all his tiine--in short,
if what was light always fell to him,
and what was heavy about the same
work to some one else; if he has been
permitted To shirk, until shirking
has become habit, unless a miracle
has been wrought, his life will be a
failure, and the blame will not be
half So much his as that of his weak
and foolish parents.
On the other hand, if boy has
been brought up to do his part,

dens became matter of pride, the

There is DO Disgusting the fact
that we are coming back to old time
prices, and it is well that the decline
has been moderate. Producers will
use their best exertions to raise larger
crops, and lower prices for their
products also means lower prices for
the cost ot production. Interest on
mortgaged farms and other similar
debts remain the same as when in
Cured, which is the misfortune of
the debtor, bus the man who is free
from debt can make rs much solid
money now as ever. In other words,
what he makes now will buy as
much for his use as 1t would when
prices were higher. The crops look
promising and representjust so much
money brought forth from the earth

Another Electric Woader.
(Boston Journal. ]

A scientific wonder, equal to the
telephone, is reported from France.
Unfortunately the details are not SO
carefully given as to make the mat.
ter entirely ineligible. 1t is called
the electric mirror" and consists of
a number of refiectOrs SO arranged
along a railroad line that in each is
seen the movement of every train
on the road. 1t is stated that in the
mirror set up at the station at the
end of the line can be seen picture
of everything going on over 100
miles of the road, though how cleo
tiicity is brought into the case is
not clearly stated, but after tele-
phones and Photographs we ought
not, perhaps, to doubt that wonders
may be wrought by electricity on
simple mirrors to greatly extend
their reflective powers.
