REHOBOTH.
From the Breakwater Light.
MISS wEBB's EXPERIENCE.

MISS WEBB EXPERIENCE.
A Miss Webb who came to the depot
with little hog-skin trunk said. "When
l brought this trunk down here it was a
large trunk and covered with hair. Now
look at it! 1t wont hold peck and there
is scarcely hair on it. All owing to
these Internal mosquitoes" 81 have a
friend," added Miss Webb, "who comes
to Rehoboth every winter ducking but !
hope he will never come again." This
same Miss Webb gave JilA McVey Gone
of our Lewes fshermen) drawing, the
recollection of which she said should al
ways be coupled with the name of Re-
hoboth. By little wire working-gin
we obtained it. Here it is, fac smile.
[We omit the cut.
We wonder if this Miss Webb is not
the same lady who takes so much inter-
est at Wilmington in the prevention of
cruelty to animals. She should certain
ly have some compassion on the poor
mosquito.
Rehoboth is certainly bad place for
mosquitoes, and it was a sickening sight
to see the folks leaving there on Monday
and Tuesday last. Howe er, the season
is about over there, and the tickle for
tunes are won and made. Old Wiley
the primitive landlord of the boarding
tent in the grove, they say, has cleared
already $500.
Walter Burton at the Bright House Ia
reported to have made $4,000, clear of all
expenses. Mr.. Billany, of the Surf
House, they say has made no clear
money-barely enough to pay his rent.
This fact Is attributed to his having to
board preachers and Methodists with
certificates, at ruinous rates.
The Douglass House is outside Of the
regular order and no one seems to care
whether it has done well or not. Capt.
Tredenick is waiting for "the Gutter
Snipes," and expects to make his sea-
sons work off Of them. Mr.. Isaac Ev-
ans is reported dead-that ends itl

LONDON, March 4.-The Mark Lane Erpress
says the growing wheat in many districts pre-
SCENTS 9 moro satisfactory appearance than
might be expected, but complaints are made of
,discoloration and thipness.g The deliveries of
English wheat continues to be fairly liberal.
Dry parcels improved shilling per quarter in
the week both at Mark Lane, and in the coun-
try. Imports of foreign wheat remain very
limited, last Mondays returns showing less
than "a. 600 quarters, while snbsequent arrivals
have been comparatively insignificant. Amer
lea furnished the bulk of the supply, which has
been taken by millers with less reserve at six
pence to q shilling per quarter advance from
the recent lowest point. Fine Russian varieties
experienced similar Improvement, and are
held with great firmness. The rise which has
taken place should certainly be maintained in
view Of the dubious character of the harvest
prospects both in this country and France.
Maize has been coming to hand very freely
from Atlantic ports, notwithstanding the low
point to which prices have fallen. Prices con-
tinue in favor Of buyers. The supply Of oats
is limited, and prices have advanced slightly.

in the State. refer to the district Judges,
especially those in the country. In Ramsey
county it is different, for there they have
access to the finest library in the Northwest,
and they need purchase no books. There
they hold their courts at home. But how
about the country judge? He must have the
books or the people must pay for his ignor-
ance, not less than $500 to $4OO year
for books. He must travel from 100 to
200 miles to attend courts. Shall he be
mandicant on the charity of railroad, with
a pass in his pocket? He must hire livery, he
must pay board bills, say 100 days 9 year.

other words, the ST. Paul judge, always at

about $1,000 the most pay, and yet our
members can see the laugh and think 81 800
a big thing. Not that your judges are over
paid, but why not equalize? The whole
State pays these salaries, then why not pay
every man alike on tie bench. Comparisons
