William Dean on the Temperance
Question,

BILLY" Dean. of Newark perhaps the most indie
pendent member of the New Castle delegation to our
Legislature thus expresses himself in the Newark
Lcogcr:
During the late political campaign a tremendous
effort was made by the Whisky Ring defeat myself
as candidate for the Democratic party, simply for
the reason that had expressed myself as being OPP
posed to allowing engaged in the sale of intoxi-
eating drinks to follow the business except in accord
ance with the laws of State 1t is openly avowed
by men occupying high official positions (Which they
obtained through the Democratic party others
hold public Office in State except those appointed
by the General Governments) That there in the
City of Wilmington two hundred houses selling in
tOxicating liquor Now if the foregoing the truth
and can reason to doubt it, is it not time that
move was made in the party to that the men
who are filling the Offices and have sworn to see that
the laws are faithfully executed perform their duty
Our own town is not an exception to this rule; we
have magistrates and other officers whose duty it is
to to it. What the facts OF the case? Have we
had violations ofthc law continually? How often
have they been brought to the notice of our sworn
officers? When did any one hear of person being
punished for violating the law referred to? 1t is
fact that cannot be disputed; we have not Officer
that dare to do his duty. When this fact is known is
| 1t surprising that men engaged in business are care
less in regard to the provisions of the law regulating
its sale? 1t is not further enactments TO prevent it
sale that is wanted, but honest faithful and fearless
officers to execute the present law. Before get th
done there will have to be change in the actions
our officers or we shall have to get appointment
| made.
The General Government appear to have no trouble
in finding out those persons who violate the UnteC
States laws 1t is said that every of the two hun
dred houses that are selling in Wilmington withou
state license have an Internal Revenue license hang
ing upin their place of business Yet the State officer
fail to bring any of the volatOrs of the State law
justice. have had some little experience in bring
ing some of the violators of the law in own tow
to get their just reward. When dozen or more in
dctments have been found against a single perso
the only punishment inflicted has been fine for
single violation and a nole prOSeqa has been entere
in the rest of the indictments by the defendant pay
ing the cost of prosecution. When men can be foun
who will faithfully execute their sworn duty theI
and not until then, expect any change for tn
better. The bes: example that every person VIII
wants suppression of the sale and use Of ntoxica
ing drinks is for themselves to abstain from its
try to persuade those who do it that is better
do without it. WIN. DEAN"

Man Milliners.

Man milliners have been regarded in
Paris the proper persons to arrange how
women should be dressed for more than a
dozen years. Grenville Murray, in his
latest " Round About France" paper, ob.
serves that while there may be female
modistes quite as tasteful as the man milli-
ners the man miliiners do not think so
it is they who originate the fashion which
modistes do no more than copy, and theirs
is the undouhted faculty "of charging
double what they would venture to do
were they women" He relates that there
is a great artist in millinery, who shall be
nameless, but whose reputation is world
wide, who twill not condescend to work
for everybody who comes beseeching to his
warehouse" lie affirms that his artistic
selEesteem will not allow him to dress a
lady who would not be likely to do full
justice to his brilliant conceptions. A lady
once admitted into the happy circle of
this mans patrons, he "scans her with the
eye of inspiration" and decides off hand
what he wishes her to wear. Her own
choice in the matter is not consulted.
When lady has given many and cogent
proofs of knowing what styles and cOlors
are best suited to her face and figure, then
and not till then, does he dcign to receive
her orders. Ladies who rule their own
households with firm hand "are as mild
as cherubs in the presence of the Olympian
millner." He is cold and peremptory, but
to do him justice, he is not overbearing
Strolling about his saloons, with note
book and gold pencil in his hands, "hc
stops to bow cOurteously to customers who
enter, and either passes them on with E
wave of the hand toward the tryng-or

mirrOred chambers, where the mysteries o.
the new toilets are discussed"

SHARP PRAcTICE.-0n Tuesday of last
week, well dressed man registered at the
Grand Central Hotel in New York as 81.
B. Smythe, of Yonkers," and secured a
suite of rooms. In the afternoon he
bought a $500 shawl at Stewards, and
ordered it sent to the hotel to be paid for
on delivery. At the appointed time the
porter appeared with the shawl, and was
shown to the apartments. "Pll step into
the bedroom where my wife is DRESSING"
said the purchaser, land show her the
shawl" Not returning in due time, the
porter knocked, and receiving no reply, he
opened the bedroom door to find purchaser
and shawl had disappeared through another
door. Tableau Afterward the shawl was
found in pawn shop, and the thief was
arrested while trying to dispose of the
ticket. He gave his name as John C.
Rogers, and was committed to answer in
default of $1,000 bail.-Y Yonkers' Statesman.

The WAY OF THE TRANsGEEssoRs.-Last
week it was stated that the Fall River mil.
lionaire and defaulter, S. Angler Chace,
now in the State Prison at Concord, Mass,
is kept at work upon old rusty hoop iron,
picking off with his fingers all the little
splinters and putting it in shape, and that
his confrere in crime, George r. Hathaway,
is kept at sandpapering picture frames in
the same prison. This would be respecta
ble work for either of them if they were
not criminals. When Morton and HUM,
the convicted railroad officers in Philadel
phia, arrived at the prison where they are
to undergo their ten years confinement
they were first clad in the prison garb and
then were blindfoided by bags thrown ovel
their heads, and were walked up and dowr
the various corridors several times, il
order that they might be confused as to the
| situation of the cells to which they were
consigned. The way of transgressors il
very hard.
