IL Will Meet at Dover-A Successful
Affair AnticlDated.

Through the untiring efforts of Hon.
James W. Ware, Representative from
this city, the reunion Of the Legisla-
ture is about to become welcome reali-
zation. He with others, have been
working the matter up and invitations
have been distributed to the members,
including the legislative reporters, the
State officials, the judiciary and others.
The tickets will be issued early this
week, and the formal reunion services,
if any, will take place at the Douglass
d ouse, Rehoboth city Oh Friday.
Those holding tickets residing above
Harrington will take the morning train.
These tickets are only made out as far
as Harrington. At Harrington the
members from New Castle and Kent
counties will meet the members of Sus-
sex who live on the line of the Delaware
road. At noon the members will be
placed in two special cars and those of
the party along the J. & B. R. R. will
be taken on board at their respective
stations. Rehoboth station will be
reached about three o'clock, when the
party will be conveyed in hacks to the
Douglass House. AT five O'Clock a

rations on an extraordinary scale have
been made. Governor Hall will board
the train at Milford and Ex-Governor
Cochran will get on board at Middle

The Delaware railroad company has
extended to the legislature through Mr..
George V. Massey its able legal adviser
at Dover, the use of the road. The
same courtesy has also been extended
by the junction and Breakwater Com
pany. Although the members will be
given the privilege to continue their
visit over until Monday if they desire
to, it is probable that many Of them
will return to their homes on Saturday.
1t is the intention of the managers to
give ball Oh Friday evening in the

this we cannot speak with certainty.

A Sailors Story.

1t was weather-beaten sailor we over
heard in Clay Street restaurant, the,
other day. kindly giving few reminis-
cences of travel to some lady friends he
was treating to corned beef and cabbage.
"Talking about lions," he went on to say.
'sthey are the intelligence animal what
is. A Gurus thing happened once when
we were on the East Coast last cruise.
One OF our officers went ont hunting deer,
and the next morning his body was found
bit clean in two, but with his watch
missing. Nobody understood it. Next
day the quartermaster's body was found
IN the same condition, with his watch
gone. Seemed as though lion and
pickpocket were kindly going s1acks, as
1t were. only the lion didn't eat nothiug.
Next day two middies disappeared-
same result. None of the sailors were
hurt-had no watches, you see. Of course
the whole crew turned out for grand
hunt, and at last we killed lion sixteen
feet long. In his stomach we found all
the watches, still running. Cold fact, I
assure you. The ships surgeon, who cut
the breast open, said he wasn't in good
health-had torpid liver. So we seed
at once that the animal had killed all
the officers just to swallow their watches
-sorter like pills, you know. The lion
must a. thought that the wheels and
things would kinder tickle him up in
SIDE. When we shot him he was lying
with his eyes shut and mouth open, list
ening to the works going inside of him.
Sounded like whole jewelry store.

The Poets Grave.

BIZ THE LATE BAYARD TAYLOR.
The following poem was written by the
lamented poet when me1e STRIPPING and
published in little volume with his
popular poem entitled ''Ximena:"
Twas in q sunny forest-nook,
With flowers and moss o'ergrown;
Where nought was heard save the bees low
hum
Or wild winds liquid tone
They laid the gentle bard to rest
When life's wild dream was DER,
When the Tyre he woke with magic power
Gave forth its notes no more.
They laid him there when sunsets beam
Yet fingered on the hill,
But the heart that leaped at that bright hour
In deaths long sleep was still
Sadly they heaped the messy mould
Above his fair young form,
And wept that soon the grave should hide
The heart SO free and warm.
The elm's long boughs droop DER the turf
Like mourners weeping by,
And there, in spring, the violet first
Looks up with mild blue eye;
And when the forests in the garb
OF summer proudly wave,
A thousand low, sweet melodies
Float mouynful round his grave
A holy calm braathes DER the spot,
The trees dark shadows fling,
Save when through twining boughs, quicI

Bright forms with sunny hair,
Glide slowly through the forest aisles,

Giving the Boy q Start.

A lonesome-looking boy was yesterday
hanging around woodward in the
northern part cf the city, when the owner
Of the yard, having both charity and
philanthropy for boys with tears in their
eyes, asked the lad why be didn't
peddle apples or do something to earn a
few shillings. The boy replied that he
had no capital, and the wood-yard man
took out a nickle, and said:
'Now, my noy, I'm going to start you
IN life. Take this nickel and go and
make purchase of something or other.
Ill buy it of you for ten cents, no matter
what it is. Come, now, let's sec what sort
of a business head you have on you.''
The boy took the nickel and went off,
but in ten minutes was back with a gal
Ion jug which he had purchased with the
nickel.
"Well, you are a keener," replied the
man. 81 never saw one of those sold less
than fifteen cents to any one. I want
such a jug, and here's its fair price. Go
now and lay out your fifteen cents IN ap-
pies and I'll buy half your stock"
The boy did not return. Perhaps he
fell into a sewer somewhere; but you
can't make the woodward man believe
so. When he lifted the jug from under
the table where the boy had carefully
placed it, he found a hole in the bottom
large enough to let in black and tan
terrier.-DetroSt Free Psess.
