Wl.MlsGros AT LAST has On aggressive
Board of Health and Mr.. Singlsy of the
"Gazette" has become the leader. I'm.
der his inspiration last evening the
Board adopted resolution requesting
the City Council to appoint nobody but
a practical butcher clerk of the market.
As there are according to information
furnished us well on towards two dozen
applicants for the otiice, this seems like
an abrupt manner Of disposing of all
but two or three candidates. Although
the large experience Of Mr.. Singley may
leal him to conclude thst his plan is the
best, there may lie others who believe
that lie is slightly mistaken. There
are other men than butchers who would
make a more effective clerk of the mar.
ket, and would he above the suspicion
Of favoring the craft. This Is the first
time in Wilmington Legislation wheh it
becomes requisite for person to be a
butcher to be elected clerk of the mar
ket, and may appropriately be dubbed
"Singley's new departure"

Economy is q comparative term
What would be economy to a person OF
liberal means, would be sheer waste TO
anoths. Of less psouniary ability and
on the other hand, what We would
commend as careful and prudent man
agemeat in enc person, would be moth
ing less than niggardly meapness in
one Of much greater means. 1t is the
duty Of all to live within their means,
and, if possible, to save some little at
least, for "rainy day." TO do this
self denial must be ussd in many cases,
but it brings pleasure with it which
is far more lasting than the little in
dulgences would give, which are for
gone. We say to all who are earning
money that our savings banks are
worthy Of all confidence. Open your
account there, and save some amount,
be it ever SO small, every week, and
you will soon begin to see and enjoy
the benefit of it yourself. If you are
sick or ou. of employment, it is fund
which you can call upon, and which
makes you Independent Of assistance
from others. Let the wife as we'll as
the husband assist in this saving, and
you will be the happier and more com
Portable for it. Living within your
meaus is comfort and happiness but
dime spent per week beyond your
means will leal to unhappiness and
discomfort in the end.

THE DEMOCRATIC papers in tns vi.ip-
ity and farther north have been irving
to make the people believe that the edi
tor of the Okolona (Miss.) "S,Als" is
an idiot and that his paper is no expo
nent of Democratic principles. The
same papers will now have to inform
the people why it is that this idiot edi.
tor was chosen to address the meeting
of the Mississippi Press Association.
Daily Republican., 1879-06-17

THE PHILADELPHIA RECORD, a straight
out Democratic paper declares that on
the very eve of battle, the Democratic
army is torn into contendipg factions
and the Democratic navy is driven bow
Oh among the breakers. The Repub-
licans are better led. Their rank aud
file are equally divided on the financial
question, but their leaders have had
sense enough to hustle that question
to the rear, and have marshall.d their
forces in defence of issues on which
they are united. The indications of q
peaceful settlement of the difficulty in
the Democratic camp are not promising.
No Republican paper could have
drawn more doleful condition OF the
Democratic condition than this staunch
advocate Of Democracy. Divided and
split up into factions they are anxious
to get away from the place where they
have buried their party in hopeless
confusion.
Atkins is wrathy at the way the Sem
ate tore his legislative bill to pieces,
and swears that he will not submit to
it. The soft money Democrats are tear
ing their hair at the way the Warner
bill has leen treated, while Bayard
and K-rnan threaten to resign from
the Finapo. Committee if they don't
stop their foolishness. To cap all
another Presidential veto is hanging
over their heads. Unhappy Democrats.

A Widows Pension that Went to a Per.
jnrer for Fifteen Years.
New York Times, July a.

Ellen McClelland for three years drew
pension of $S per month as the widow
of a soldier named George G. McClel-
land, who was killed early in the wal
Of the rebellion. She then married one
Patrick Martin, blind man, and lived
with him for six years, during which
time she continued to draw the pension
money. In 1870 Martin died in one OF
the Institutions on Blackweli's Island.
Soon afterward she went to live as
housekeeper with a man named Ensign.
and up to last month she regularly drew
her pension, witnesses being produced
by her at each payment who swore that
she was still a widow and had contin-
ued to be a widow since the death of
McClelIand.
The Pension Bureau was led to ex-
anime the case. Finding that there
was something wrong. it laid the facts
discovered before the United States At
torney. A warrant was issued for the
woman's arrest. and yesterday she was
brought before United States Commis-
sioner Osborn. On being informed Of
the charge against her, she at once
confessed the whole conspiracy and
the facts above stated. and gave in
formation duplicating one of her wit
nesses, a woman who testified regu-
larly that Mrs. McCleland was a widow
and received for this service the larger
share of the pension. The prisoner
was admitted to bail to await examina-

molished their entire household goods,
breaking all the dishes, furniture, burn
ing the bed-clothing and all their wear
ing apparel. filling the well full OF wood
and rubbish, throwing q barrel of soap
into the well and then setting fire to the
house. Had it not been for the early
return of Mrs. Woollen the entire house
would have been consumed by flames.
The fire was quenched after doing con-
siderable damage. This dastardly out
rage is supposed to have been done by
tramps. AS yet there is no clue to
who they are.
