!. Mrs. Sycamore, blowing kiss fro
/. the tips of her fingers, in the dire
ton of her husbands retreatil
!, form.
For the Sycamores had not be.
married six months vet, and we
, very affectionate indeed.
Mr.. Sycamore was tall and plea
ant looking, with dark eyes ar
,, very black moustache, ''exactly lii
: Byron's Corsair,' his adoring wi
declared.
Mrs. Sycamore was short, an
plump, and dimpled, with a sligl
: lisp, and hair that par.ook, in colo
of the poets 'autumn-gold," b,
was coarsely denolninated s'red" b
those young damsels who had con
peted with her for the prize of Ser,
nus Sycamore's affections.
Mrs. Sycamore watched her hu;
band down the little box-edged patti
and then, heaving a gentle sigh, ar
| piled herself to the dusting of th
parlor, with feather brush and
chamois cloLh.
Dear Serenus!" said she. "Eigh
long hours before 1 shall see hin
again, and-Dear me, here's his left
hand glove! And the thermomete
at freezing, tool"
And, like dutiful and affectionat
wife, Mrs. Serenus Sycamore threy
on her little seal-skin cap and jacket
and, with one last glance at tn,
clock, tripped off in the direction O
the railway station.
II may overtake him yet, before
the train goes" said Mrs. syca
more, to herself.
But. when she came in sight of Mr.
Sycamore, he was not alone. A
stout, short gentleman, with a nose
OF huge dimensions, and fur-edged
overcoat, was walking at his side.
"How provoking" painted Mrs
sycamore: IN just wait here, be
hind this bush, until the man leaves
hlm.
As they passed, however, appar-
emily absorbed in deep converse, Mrs.
Sycamore, without the least intention
of playing eavesdropper, could not
help catching q Eart of their CONVEX
sation.

The Anderson case.

TleM tsJoIudy SHceIcT .. lmoS.
Immediately after Daniel B. Ander
son, the Wilmington colored man who
shot officer Barber in the head Friday
night at the Lamokin House, had pro
cured the requisite amount of bail, he
was rearrested on warrant issued upon
the oath of John Thompson, the man
who pursued him to Upland, after the
shooting, charging him with threatening
to take his life. Anderson was again
locked up to await hearing yesterday
morning, when the evidence produced
was sufficient to hold him in $500 for
his appearance at court to answer.
The Mayor fixed his bail in the Bar
Der shooting case at $500, but after
wards reduced it to $1,000. Messrs Y.
S. Walter and John C. Price went on
the young mans bond to answer at
court; but when the second charge was
brought against him yesterday, and
after it was known should he succeed
in getting bail for it other charges
would follow, to be- tried before Alder
man Welser, who, it was said, would
make the bail very heavy so that there
could be no hope Of his escaping trial,
these two gentlemen came forward and
withdrew their names as security.
Being unable to get other bail he was
taken to the county jail at Media yes
terday afternoon to await the action
of the grand jury at the next term of
court. During his stay in the lookup

A RunA way.

This morning as Mr.. Samuel J. Bark
ley, of the firm of Barkley Bros, of this
city, was driving down Market street,
when at Front, he stopped the horse in
erder that train of cars might get
past before he attempted to cross the
track. While Mr.. B. was waiting, a
team belonging TO Mr.. Stone came past
and the horse became frightened and ran
so close to Mr.. Barkley's horse which
frightened him so that he turned
around, upset the wagon throwing
Mr.. Barkley ont and breaking the
shafts, bending an axle and knocking
two of the wheels off. Mr.. BIS. horse
was caught at Front and French streets.
Fortunately Mr.. Barkley did not receive
any injury. The wagon is almost de-
molished and the horse beyond a slight
scare sustained DO injury.

The Great Commonwealth Circus and
Nelson's Pantomime Company that W az
advertised in some of the city papers ia
show here on the Fourth, instead OF
reaching Wilmington fell into the hands
OF the Sheriff at Portsmouth, Va, and
probably by this time their goods are
sold, and the papers here that adver-
tised it may whistle for their money. 1t
so happens that the REPUBLICAN loses
nothing as the agent did not advertise
in it, and his refusal to do SO only con-
vinced us that he was fool and the
show a humbug. Any show that does
not advertise in the REPUBLICAN when it
comes to Wilmington may safely be set
down as fraud, but We are glad this
last one referred to kept away from us.

Tenn nessee Republicanism.

John Bell Brownlow, son Of the "a
nous parson William &. Brownlow, of
Tennessee, has been in Washington fol
several days on private business. In
speaking of the political outlook in
Tennessee, he says that the Republican
party is in good fighting trim, and in
the next Congressional election they
expect to carry three districts at least;
that in the First and Second districts
the party is now so thoroughly organ
lied that Republican Esuccess may be
considered as absolutely certain.
In regard to the report that Minister
Maynard is expected to return from
Constantinople and enter the Congress
ional race in the Second district, Mr..
Brownlow says, while Mr.. Maynard has
not definitely stated it as his purpose to
take such course, there is strong
probability ofhis being the Republican
candidate for the Forty seventh Con-
gress in that district.
