Blue Hens Chickens.
To the Editor of the Detr oft Free Press:

To the Editor of the Detr oft Free Press:
In a late issue OF your paper you gave the
nicknames Of the people of the different
are designated as the Blue Hens Chickens.
The following origin of the name 1 found In
an ancient record. 1t may be OF interest
to some of your readers
At the commencement of the revolutionary
war, there resided in Sussex county, Della
ware, IL gentleman Of fortune, urbanity OF
manners and great popularity, in that and
adjoining counties OF Maryland, named
Caldwell. He was Il sportsman. whose
breed OF horses and garlecocks obtained wide
celebrity, aid his Judgment of the points
OF ho Sc or the make OF a fowl none ven-
tured to dispute. His favorite axiom was
the character OF he progeny depends more
on the mother Than on the father, and
hence, his reply To all questions respecting
the game fowls Was, ''De the animal ever
so game you cannot depend on bis prog sny,
but must look to the hen. My observation
has led me to select a blue hen and in no
instance have failed to hatch good game
from il blue hens egg" Such questions
engaged the time of the peaceful men of
Delaware, when the news Of the battle of
Lexington, fought on the 10Th of April, IT.
70, reached them. This reused the people
to arms, and nowhere was there more mar
tial spirit displayed than in the State of Del
aware. In a very short time a full reyi-
ment was raised and a day appointed to
organize on Dover Green. On the morning
OF that. ever memorable day, Il full company
from Sussex County, under the command Of
Capt. Caldwell, Was the first To enter the
field. Peering above the loaded baggage
wagons was coop of fowls, the famous blue
blue hens chicke rs, growing Justify. Hav-
ing been the first to enter the field Cald-
wells company was assigned to the right,
and before the reg ment took up the line
of march the boys We're already called the
gamecocks, who humored the joke by call
ing til il comrades the chickens. After
their ga,llnt conduct in covering the re-
treat from Long Island, the whole army
saluted the whole regiment as the BLUE
Hens Chickens History tells us OF their
deeds at Trenton, Princeton, Branlywine.

to the last. The Delaware regiment was

under tile command of Capt. Kirkwood was

When the silver bill was under ccnsidera-
tioa, the money power predicted that its
adoption would ruin the credit Of tile coun-
try, stop the sale Of the per cent. bsnds,
and largely increase the premium on gold.
The reverse has been the effect. The bonds
are being taken uo as fast as they can be is
sued, gold is on par with greenbacks and
silver, and all the predictions of the gold
ring falsiti.d. Not only this, but real estate
transactions are becoming more active in the
cities, because gold has lost its speculative
use, and must find its way into bonds or real
estate for Investment. The fact that the rea
estate market is getting better is perverted
by this same class of grumblers, they claim
ing that it is avoiding public enterprises and
manufacturers, because Of the unsettled con-
dition Of the country and threateninss of
what they call the commune" They lose
sight of the fact that real estate is the first
interest to give sign of returning confidence
and prosperity. and that a revival there is
soon followed by activity in all other branch
es of business and industry. Destroy the
! monopoly of the gold gambler. and there
will soon follow an inyigorated trade of eve
ry kind. But the grumbler and sordid qsprer
will still exist, with his fangs broken, how
ever.

The I4ockport Journal gives an account
of the curious affection of Jonathan Il. Bass
who in lS4S. when Is years old, was attack
ed with a severe pain in the bottom of his
right foot. Examination disclosed no
wound, but for number of days the foot
was swollen and very painful. Then he got
better, but it was more or less troublesome
after that, aud the difficulty grew until in
1856 all the joints Of his body and limbs had
become affected. Four years previous to
this, that is, in 1852, he had been put on an
invalid's bed especially made for him, and
from this he has never since been removed.
For eight years he could manage to feed
himself; for the past is years he has been
fell with spoon, which is quite a difficult
task. as his jaws are firmly set, and moth
ing thicker than knife blade can pass
theu:. Yet he eats almost everything that
other people do. and is very hearty. Fat
pork. fat Leef, baked beans, potatoes, and
milk are his favQrltcs. Being much inter-
ested ip the war, lie read by having the pa
per placed on rack before him, and SO in
jured his eyes that in 1869 he became blind
and has remained SO since. He talks with
out difficulty, and converses freely upon
any subject he has had an opportunity to
study. Every joint is entirely anchylosed
or grown Into sold bone. with the excep-
ton of his fingers and toes. The pulse is
regular, beating 10 to the minute, strong
and full. All the vital organs are sound,
and in active condition, thus rendering him
capable of living many years longer.

GIVING AND TAKING.

[Mr. Whittier contributes to the Old South Fai
newspaper the following versifcation of poem
by Tinnevaluya, a Hindoo poet OF the third cen
fury OF our era, who, he says, was "a Halter O.
idolatry. and had an almost Christian conception
Of God and duty."l
Who gives and hides the giving hand.
Nor counts on favor. fame or praise,
Shall find his smallest gift outweighs
The burden of the sea and land.
Who gives to whom hath nought been given,
His gift in need. though small indeed.
As the grass-blade's wind blown Seed
Is large as earth and rich as heaven
Forget it not, O man, to whom
A gift shall fall, while yet on earth;
Yea, even to thy sevenfold birth
Recall it in the lives to come.
Who broods above wrong in thought
Sins much. but greater sin is his
Who, fed and clothed with kindness,
Shall count the holy arms as nought.
Who dares to curse the hand that bless
Shall know of sin the deadliest cost;
The patience Of the heaven is lost
BeEolding mans unthankfulness.
For he who breaks all laws may still
In Silvan's mercy be.forgiven;
But none can save in earth or heaven.
The wretch who answers good with ill.

A horse with tragic record was killed by

after getting five balls in his head almost
killed his master.

Probably there never was more original
and brilliant idea that emanated from any
statesman than that offered by Gov. Holiday
that "education is luxury" A luxury IS
an ''extravagant indulgence" and therefore
a crime against nature, and the greater the
luxury the greater the crime. Would it not
be we'll enough for our Governor to recon.
mend that all the colleges and institutions
Of learning be abolished, inasmuoh as they
must be, according to his interpretation.
'sextravagant indulgencies, harmful to the
body polite?
