4 PRESENTATION.

Thi. evening while the member were
lolling back in their fine easy chairs they
were surprised by the entrance of a
large number of ladies'. Looming up
conspicuously appeared the form of
Senator Sharpley, who seemed to have
assumed the capacity of cicerone. Be-
fore the members had fully recovered
from the effect into which the sudden
entrance had thrown them the even
voice of Mr.. Sharpley was heard in ex-
planation. The fair ones were present
to tender to Speakers Harrington and
Chandler the compliments of the young
folks of Dover as materializrd i'll the
form of a large handsome cake, and q
beautiful bouquet Of flowers. To Mr..
Harrington was presented the former,
he having received the greatest num-
Der of votes in the competition at the
fair the evening before, and to Mr..
Chandler was presented the latter. Mr..
Sharpley in making ihe offerings spoke
pleasantly. The recipients returned
their thanks of course, and the ladies
departed.

pecial Correspondence OF the Republican.

Special Correspondence OF the Republican,
DOVER, DEL, Feb. 18Th, 10.
An act to promote learning in the
Free Schools of the State was introduc-
I'd in the House this morning by Re-
preventative Cochran of ST. Georges
Hundred. As stated in the preamble
it means to elevate the standard of
scholarship in Delaware through en-
couraging the college at Newark and
making it partially a State institution.
1t provides that each member OF the
General Assembly shall be authorized
and required to select from the pupils
or teachers in the Free Schools OF this
State one person of the highest grade
OF scholarship, having at the same time
the other requisite qualifications as to
age and character, to be educated at
Delaware College free If any charge for
tuition, board, room, rent, fuel, lights
and books.
That each county shall be entitled
to ten appointees under this act ard it
shall be the duty of the members Of the
Legislature to distribute the appoint
ments as evenly as possible among the
Hundreds in their respective counties.
That in case of vacancy in any Of
these appointments, then, and in that
case, the member of the Legislature
from the Hundred in which the vacan-
cy exists shall be entitled to fill the
same, but should there he more than
one member of the Legislature from any
hundred, then each Of said members
shall nominate person and the sup
erintendent Of the Free Schools of the
State shall select from the persons
so nominated the one who shall pass
the best examination helorehim.
"rhat the sum of--hundred dollars
per annum be and the same is hereby
appropriated to be paid by the Treas,
urer of this State to the Treasurer of
Delaware College tor every student who
shall be appointed and shall be admit
ted to the educational privileges con-
templated by this act; and that the
said payments shall be made in qu rt-
erly installments in advance on the
first day of April, July, September and
January OF each and every year"
That "this act shall take effect upon
the acceptance thereof by the Board Of
Trustees of Delaware College, which &C
ceptance may be signied by certit-
cate under the seal of said College and
filed in the office of Secretary ofState."
The friends of the institution are
quite enthusiastic over the proposed
law, and are earnestly urging its rner-
its upon the minds of the members.
Under the skilltul hands OF those father
ing the pet scheme the bill has been
several days in maturing, and is pre-
scented as most beneficial measure.
The clause referring to the amount to
be paid to the institution by the State
is not yet fixed; it is to be left for furth
er consideration, probably before the
committee to whom it may be referred.
We understand, however, that the sum
prematurely stated, will be $3.50.

LOcuStS as Food.

st. Mark describes the diet of John
the Baptist as consisting of "locusts and
wild honey" Some commentators
have explained "locusts" as denoting
some kind of bread or wild fruit. This
is an error, for locusts are eaten as food
by many people in the East. A recent
writer on the curiosities of food accords
to the locust the first place, in the pure
ly insect world, as an article of diet.
He says:
''From the remotest antiquity the
locust has been used for food witness
the sculptures of Assyria- and at the
present day they are devoured in enor-
nous quantities by many different races.
Yet there is wide divergence of opin-
ion regarding the value of locusts as
food.
"Some travellers describe locusts as a
desperate makeshift; others as passa-
BILE; others, again, as resembling
shrimps in delicacy and flavor. They
compete with meat in the market of
Bagdad; they are called "terad" in
Yemen, and "anne" in Dancai, and they
are frequently used as food by the wan
dering tribes of Asia and Africa, who,
after broiling them, separate the head
from the body, and eat them as Western
nations do shrimps. In some parts of
Africa they are ground and made into
bread. In Senegal they are eaten by
the highest classes. They are the main
support of the bushmen of South
Africa"

And every very breath was life and strength IN
And warbliug birds poured out their songs Of

And every living thing seemed glad and free
We praise thee, y, our God!
We praise thee for the noontide's scorching

While under purple bloom the wine was

We praise thee for the twilight's hour of calm
When the cool breeze of eve refreshed the
Winning from them their gift of odorous balm
And all prevailing peace filled the sweet
hours.
Then one " one came out the stars soft light
And all around us settled restful night
We praise thee, O our God!

Her buds of hope, her merry tuneful voice
For Summer, with exuberant greenery blest
And smiling fullness. bidding man rejoice
For Autumn's browning treasures now com.

We offer thee dear Lord, thanks as is meet
We bless thee. o our God!
And when the stormy blast of Winter comes,
And snow wreaths hang their light forms

And we'll stored barns and gamers fill our

With plenty, and our hearts with thankful

Help us, o Christ, to share at thy command
These blessings with thy poor with generous
