Irving, it is definitely settled, will not come
over this year. He has concluded that he has a
good enough thing where he is, and that Amer
lea will keep. I reckon he is right on both
points. There would, without question, be
good deal Of interest in seeing him here, but
there is room Tor serious doubt as to his finan-

houses in America. It is centrally located, and
will be conducted to the very best OF Mr. fope's 1
ability. He means to arrange for the appeur-
apce Of the best dramatic stars ia the 7profes-
sion, and I think there is every chance Of hts
making a SUCCESS.
GENERAL NOTES.
The yellow-fever outbreak in Memphis has
created most decided scare among dramatic
people this way. The fall season in the South
was pretty thoroughly made up, hut there is n
general stampede among the agents OF COM
panies intending to go down there in the early
autumn. In consequence, Joe Brooks has can
.eled all dates at the Memphis Theatre up to
Dec l.. and the other Southern honscs will
doubtless fall Into line soon.

Recent years have witnessed the
public alton Of work, in number
of the States Of the Union gotten
up in splendid aud separate volumes
in the form Of Encyclopedias containing a
biographical sketch Of the honored
dead and representative living men Of
such States.
The volume for Maryland has just
been published and the papers of Bal
timore and elsewhere in that State have
handsome notices Of their book. Della
ware because of limited area and popu-
lation has not been published, although
rich in historic and living materials
for such an undertaking. We learn
however with great pleasure, that Col.
J. 4. McCarter and Rev. DR.. Jackson,
lately editors Of the Maryland volume,
have removed to this city, and are both
personally and by the aid of Associates
Editors, collecting material in all por-
tions of our Diamond commonwealth
for such work.
This material is obtained by visiting
the several localities of the State in
terviewing its living representatives OF
"reminiscences and we'll authenticated
tradition, together with a verification OF
facts and dates by careful examination
of State and county records.
This it is true will involve great
labor and large outlay, but the appear
ance of these gentlemen in the past in
connection with similar work done in
other states, and the determination ex-
pressed by them to make the Delaware
book equal in every respect to the
best which has yet appeared have pre-.
pared us to give them our best wishes
and hearty cooper alton.
Gotten up from the stand point of
state record and state pride, it must be
a handsome volume to meet expecta-
tions, and must necessarily be Of con-
siderable COST yet its great value in
rssouing from speedy forgetfulness the
memory of men whose lives were of un-
told value to the community living,
whose influence left behind the most
valuable thing the State ever had
more valuable than bo nds or stocks, or
mere temporal riches-by this hook to
be made the charm Of the quiet hour,
and the inspiration Of our youth by the
examples of the dead and the living
held up before them. 1t is work which
ought to BE- and no doubt will be appre.
ciated by the people Of Delaware.
We understand that the Aldine Pub
fishing and Engraving Co. have already
made a canvass of the counties of the
State, and their work has met a cordial
and hearty appreciation by the leading
citizens of many localities.

A Backward Movement.

We wonder If the people Of Whining
ton are aware that an attempt is being
made through the Board Of Health to
return to the abominable bucket system
of cleaning wells. If they have not
thought about it, it is high time they
were giving the question some consid-
GRAFTON. At the last meeting Of the
Board of Health, strange to say, large
and influential petition was presented
TO that body praying for the abolition
of the present and a return to the old
bucket system. We presume that all
that is required to flood the Board Of
Health with remonstrancps against =
return to the old system, is to notify
the people that such an effort to return
has seriously and earnestly been made.
Through an adroit movement of the
members Of this Board who are opposed
to any interference with the present
plan, the petition has not yet been re-
ferred to any committee, but an attempt
to so refer 1t will probably be made at
the next meeting of the Board, which
will be on next Monday evening. We
well recollect when there was strong
opposition to the Odorless Excavator,
more on personal than any other
grounds, but as time moved on other
air tight machines were authorized,
which broke the force of the objection to
a monopoly, and We were under the i'm
preston that there was commendable
unanimity Of sentiment in favor of the
new order of things. We cannot be-
lieve that the people of Wilmington de-
sire renewal of the terrible nuisances
which filled the streets at night few
years ago, but if they do not want a
repetition Of it they had better get up
remonstrances to the Beard of Health |
against any interference with the pres
ent system, which has proved so salts
factory. In view of the approach of the
sickly season. and the reports of the
breaking out of the yellow fever, every
effort should be made to keep the city
clear of nuisances, instead of contem-
plating return to night scavengering
by the old bucket system, which was
one Of the greatest nuisances that ever
existed i n the city.
