Don't swallow Cherry Pits.

As the cherry season is now coming
on we may perhaps do some good by
throwing ont cautionary warning
against the danger Of swallowing cherry
stones. A man died in Vermont the
other day after suffering from dyspepsia
for twenty years. Some peculiar cir
cumstanc-s in his case led to a post
mortem examination, which revealed
thirteen cherry stones imbedded in the
lining of the stomach, causing thick
ening OF the walls of that organ OF some
three -fourths of an inch, and ultimately
the mans death. 1t was the opinion OF
the physicians that the stones had been
there many years. And last summer
young man died in Philadelphia from
similar cause, the difference between the
two cases being that the latter died from
swallowing single cherry stone only a
few days previous, it also having lodged
in passage and caused fatal result,
as was found on opening the body after
death.

A New Postal Arrahg eInelt,

On Monday the arrangements now
carried into effect whereby letters are
gathered from the boxes throughout
the city will be perfected. The new
order from Mr.. Pyle requires the car
riers to go around the city about u
o'clock in the evening and collect all
letters dropped into the boxes between
3 and I o'clock. This will enable such
mail matter to he distributed and sent
away in the O'Clock train. As the
arrangement now exists dropletters re-
mains in the boxes from 6 o'clock in
the evening until the following morn
ing. The route to be thus gone over
extends from Lombard to jefferson Sts.
and from the Railroad to 18th St.
The postal service includes ten carriers
five on each side OF the city, Market st.
being the dividing line, and conse-
quently different carrier will assume
the duties Of collecting every fifth
Eight. This change will be great
convenience not On y to the public i'll
general, but to the business men.

A Legislative Reminiseence.

Some twelve years sgo the Democrats
carried New Castle County, and young
good looking bachelor was elected to
the Legislature. He was in the highest
favor with all the young ladies Of Do.
Yer, was popular with everybody, al
though he never made a speech. Young,
handsome and sympathetic, the Speaker
mischevously appointed him Chairman
of the Committee on Divorces. Suffice
it to say that in him those tired of
wearing the matrimonial moose found a
friend. Amongst these was a worthy
lady from Wilmington whose applica-
ton was favoratly received by the
Chairman of the Divorce Committee,
and the fact that prominent Demo-
cratic lawyer from Wilmington recon-
mended fhe divorce dsarmed him of
any opposition he might otherwise have
had in the case. Of course the bill
went through without opposition and
the young Chairman felt gratited
at his success in running the divorce
mill.
But, oh, horror of horrors The next
morning after this particular bill had
become a law and when it was too late
to splice the two separate pieces of hu-
man flesh together again, there was a
rumor astir in the capital that the di-
vorced parties were "niggers." The
people generally laughed, but some of
the members of the Legislature, includ-
ing the chairman of the divore commit
tee, did some tall swearing The raven
black curls of the chairman shook with
fearful vengeance, as he emphasized
his words and denounced the parties
that had pulled "wool' over his eyes.
1t only remains to be said that the
same chairman of that div0rc. commit
tee Is the present chairman of the
building committee of the Levy Court,
and from present appearances he is
again having not negro but philadel
phia "wool" pulled over his eyes.

tiOn.

The louisiana Constitutional Conven.
ton yesterday adopted an article pro.
viding that the State tax on property
for all purposes shall not exceed 5 mills
on the dollar. 1t was argued that with
this tax the revenue would be INSULT
cient to carry on the Government and
pay the interest on the State debt, and
its adoption would compel repudiation
In reply to this it was claimed that
mills tax would produce sufficient reve
nue. to support the State Government
and pay 2.p1r cent. interest on the
present State debt. The vote on it
adoption was 50 to %.
