Lively stock Operations.

The current of recent events has Civ
en- great impetus to business in Wall
street, and many successful turns are
reported where immense profits are
made in short periods. The most sue
cessful way that We have heard of yet
for operating in stocks is by the Combi-
nation Method of Messrs. Lawrence &
Co., Bankers, New York. By this sys-
tenn thousands of orders in various
sums are pooled into one vast capital
and operated upon the most experienced
and skillful management, thus secur-
ing to each bondholder superior advan-
tages and profits, not possible in any
other way. Profits are paid at the end
Of 80 days. A gentleman in Boston
made $747.30 on an investment of 500
Many others are doing as well or better.
Capital in any amount from $40 to
$l00,000 can be used with equal proper
tionate success by this Combination or
Go. operative Method. SIS would make
S75 or per cent. on the stock; 500
would return 5000, or 9 per cent. dur
ing the month, and so on according to
the market. The new circular con-
tains "two unerring rules for success"
and full information, so that any one
can operate with profit. Stocks and
bonds wanted. Deposits received
Government bonds supplied. Apply to

Another ReeOmme II datiOn.

Besides the numerous testimo-
mails published May Sd, 1879, in
our paper, we have to add the follow
ing:
1t gives me great pleasure to recon-
mend Professor Hochkeppel to the pub
lie as one of the most worthy, able and
thorough teachers in the State for Ia
dies, gentlemen and children. He OBJ
tained his education in high college
in Germany, very well known to me,
and is profound linguist in modern
and ancient languages. Professor Hoch-
keppel has method of his own, by
which his students acquire the different
languages in an easy and agreeable
manner. 1t is chance never offered
to the citizens Of Wilmington before,
and | can only say that anyone and
every one should take advantage of the
opportunity offered to obtain knowledge
by applying to so able gentleman as
Professor Hochkeppel.
Very Respectfully,

The Majority in q Quarrel.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Demo
Gratis of the House are in anything ex-
cept happy frame Of mind. They try
hard to present united, harmopious
front to the world, but are Up NJ ,lsn-
tary terror lest something will happen
to expose the hollowness Of the truce
which was patched up in the last eau
Gus. II has leaked out that the pro-
gramme decided on in the joint caucus
received the approval of only two or
three more than half of the members
of the House present; and it is quite
evident from the talk of members who
made up the strong minority on that
occasion that it will be very difficult,
If not impossible, to keep them in the
party traces.
Speaker Randall is understood to have
supported the Blackburn programme in
the caucus and leading Democrats
openly charge that for some reason he
is anxious to have the session of Con-
gress prolonged. Some of them also
assert tonight that he was privy to the
motion offered by General Hawley to-
day in regard to the appropriation bill
and was thereby guilty of treason to
his party. They say, too, that he ap
pointed "old Wood" Chairman of the
Committee on Ways and Means against
the wish and protest Of nine-tenths Of
the Democratic party, and after repeat
edly giving an implied promise not to
appoint him. They declare in bitter
terms that Mr.. Wood shall be deposed
from the craftsmanship of that commit
tee before the end of the present Con.
gress.
Two other Representatives besides
Speaker Randall are said to have sup
ported the revolutionary programme in
the caucus. There are Messrs. Clymer
and Cotfroth. The latter gentleman is
particularly outspoken in his denuncia-
ton Of the surrender policy adoyted,
and of what he calls the cowardice and
inefficiency of the Democratic leaders,
whether the cooler heads of the
Democratic party in the House will be
able to hold the irreconcilables in check
and keep them quiet until the hour Of
adjournment arrives has become an in
teresting problem.
