HarDer's Weekly.

Harper's Weekly is as rich in its let
ter matter as it is in its laughable car
toons. Mast always rich in imagina
ton, has Senator Blaine standing uoJu
the Cornerstone of the Republic which
proclaims equal rights to all men. With
one hand he is pulling a fresh lliber
nian up and with an npraised foot he is
kicking a Chinaman Oft the other end.
The artist Bellew also in a funny mood
has a hoodlum backed against the door
of gin saloon, not objecting to the
color of John Chinaman, so much as
his habits. Another happy and sug
gestive illustration, shows the inhab,
itants of Sitka Island anxious to be
taken on board Her Majesty's Ship
"Osprey," to escape from the indians
while no objection is made by the Unit,
ed States Consul. "Coming back to
Mother England's apron strings" the
artist calls it. A large number Of life
like wood cuts a splendid assortment
of literary matter with comments on
the times, still keep Harper to the
front.

An Ohio WOman's Huii.

A telegram from GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
10th inst, to the Cincinnati "Commer-
ciali says: Gan interesting breach of
promise case is on trial in the Common
Pleas Court here, the plaintiff being a
widow on the shady side of 40, named
Samantha Pearson, and the defendant
Thomas Blizzard, until recently a
bachelor, aprpoximating so. The
plaintiff says Blizzard ceurted her about
Is years, visiting her from two to three
times every week She says she resist
ed his attentions at first, because she
did not like him, but Blizzard having
confidence in his power to win the
widows affections if she would permit
him to talk to her occasionally, she
yielded, and Blizzard stormed the cita-
del, and she consented to become his
wife. She had been ready and willing,
she says, to enter into marital relations
with him for long time, but he has
been putting it of by telling her that
as soon he got cage he'd take the
bird Finally he got cage, but in.
stead of putting the old bird in it, he
set his trap and got young bird Of rs
and made her mistress of the cage
Mrs. Pearson claims that for this pro-
tracted billing and cooling, and tamper-
ing with her affections, nothing short
of 5l5, 900 will compensate her, and for
that she sued. Blizzard denies that he
made proposition of marriage to her,
and also will try to show that she il
unworthy of his love. The partie.

THROUGH THE kindness of Mr.. Dean
We have been favored with printed CO.
pyof ths iii providing for thirty-fve
scholarships in Delaware College at the
expense of the Legislature, allowing
5000 per annum for each pupil. We
have already favored the bill, but We
were under the impression that there
was to be a test scholarship in each
hundred amongst those who would con-
tend for scholarship and that the con.
testants were to be examined by a
competent committee, and that commit
tee empowered to make the choice in
stead of the member Of the Legislature.
We think this would be preferable as
it would be more likely to he free from
partisan feeling. The members OF the
Legislature should simply entitie the
Hundred to the scholarship, but free
competition should be let open and let
an impartial committee decide between
the merits Of the candidates. Though
we suggest this Improvement to the
bill, we would rather let the member
of the Legislature choose than to see
the bill fail.

sTUls ACTION is a grave mistake

"THIs ACTION is a grave mistake. |
am opposed to such revolutionary pro-
ceedings. The county will not approve
them. If this is good precedent, the
minority hereafter have no rights.
This is what Senator Bsyard said when
the Democrats were forcing the passage
OF the appropriation bills with an
mendment repeating the Federal cleo
ton laws. Senator Whyte of Mary
land declared: 81 am opposed to this
action. | don't favor the sentiment
that demands it. 1t sets bad prece-
dent" Senator Davis Of West Vir
ginia said I" | did not want these ap.
preparation bills delayed. | did not
want an extra session of Congress.
Senator Gordon of Georgia said
deeply regret the result These are
few of the utterances of the leaders OF
the Democrats in the Senat-, and yet
neither Mr.. Bayari nor the other Sen
ators named had the courage to vote
against the revolutionary measure,
which revolutionary men were trying
to force through, when their opposition
would have had some good effect. The
country will hardly be satisfied with
Mr.. Bayard's explanation now. He is
as much responsible for whatever re
suit may follow the revolutionary ac-
ton of his party associates as though
he had been as active as the Eoldest Of
them.

Nav Castle county, having undergone
several amendments, WAS referred to d,
committee which has reported II agair
Ito the House, but 30 amended that bu
. small portion Of Its originality 10 left
II is, however, yet good bill, and VI
hope it will receive favorable action il
the Legislature. The bill as nov
printed and referred, forbids any mem
ber Of the Levy Court 70 receive any
money from the County Treasurer 9th
or than for services due him for hii
attendance upon such court, and nc
money 10 hereafter to b expended by
him. His pay is fixed st two dollars
and halfa day and mileage. The
second section provides that in all cases
where work has been done in any hun
dred, the member Of the Levy Court
from that hundred shall draw orders
on the County Treasurer for the same,
provided the amount does not exceed
three hundred dollars. The third Sec
ton requires proposals to be invited for
any work the cost Of which shall ex-
ceed three hundred dollars, the propo
sails TO be published in two newspapers
in the county for TIVE weeks prior to
the meeting Of the Levy Court, at
which the contract 10 TO be awarded.
Exceptions are made for the bridges
across the Christiana within the limits
of the city Of Wilmington, Which the
Levy Court may repair temporarily at
once, until such time when psrma
nent structure can bs made. Section
four requires the Levy Court to meet on
the first Tuesday in the months Of Feb
ruary and March, and the second Tues.
day in October.
One Of the greatest demands Of the
tax payers is met in the fifth section,
which requires an itemized statement
Of the expenses Of each hundred to be
published in pamphlet form-two
thousand copies-for distribution. We
hope an apparent defect in this section
will be remedied by including all the
allowances OF the Levy Court to all
county officers, so that the people may
see where the money they pay for
taxes goes to. Section six confines the
operations of the bill TO New Castle
county, and section seven provides that
the act shall not take effect until after
thelfrst Of May, 1879. We hope the
bill will become law with the amend
ment We have proposed in section i've.

felt deep interest in the matter, and was
very particular in my inquiries, and the
testimony of all the parties interested
proved beyond doubt that It was a sack
Of coffee that conveyed the disease, tor not
q single family escaped who used the coffee,
and other families did escape who had no
interest in the coffee and received none, and
from the further fact that all the families
were attacked about the same time, and no
other communication with Corpus Christi
or other place Of infection was had, 1t
will be observed that this sack of coffee was
transported in wagon exposed in the open
air for fifteen miles and then opened, divi'
ded, then placed in small sacks, and again
exposed in the open air for twenty-tour
hours. The yellow-fever germ still lived,
and as soon as the conditions were tavora-

Upon which the Appeal comments as fol-
lows:
The facts stated by DR.. West are corrob-
GRATED by what occurred at Grenada, Holly
Springs, Grand Junction, Tuscumbia, Flor
ence, Decatur and Brownsville last sum
mcr. Ycllowfever was transported to these
places just as it was to the town of Liberty,
Texas, and from Corpus Christi to the tree
top in the Nueccs valley 1t was shown
before the yellewfever commission which
convened in this city q few months ago,
that box of quinine, protected
by saw-dust, was sent from this
city while the yellow-fever was raging
to physician in Fayette county. When
the box arrived there were several persons
in the physicians Office, who iocularly re-
monstratcd with the physician for opening
the box in their presence, as it might con
tain The germs of yellow-tever, The phys
ician regarded such fears as absurd. But
the facts show that every person in the
room at the time the box was opened soon
aftcrward died with the yellow-fcver. These
facts demonstrate that yellow-fever can be
transported as easily and with as much GER
tainty as bale Of cotton or vaccine matter.
AS the warm weather is fast approaching,
the people of the south will not be forget.

ONE of the stupidcst stories ahoat is to
the effect that the Confederate government
paid George d. Prentice $4,000 to write
an article urging Kentucky to sccede; but
that his associates discovered the article in
time to exclude it from the paper and
thereby Saved the Union The impress
sion sought to be conveyed is that Prentice
held Kentucky in his hand, and that Ken
lucky held in its grip the tate of the Union

hand than that which had wrecked him

They don't encourage non-action in any
such manner. On the contrary, they tell

MENT AND THE PEOPLE.
Were-echo the warning given out few
days ago by the Memphis Appeal; Woe
betide the town or city visited by the yell
low fever next summer. There will be no
escape for its people, for the trains will be
stopped by force and the flying refugees
will have no place for refuge, as the law OF
selfpresevation will force the people to
close their doors against disease which
experience has convinced them can be i'm
ported into their own households" This
warning should find voice in every
community, especially in the south,
for it would serve TO admonlsh the
people that, if they triie with their sani-
tary affairs, they will not be permitted,
when the dire atiliction they invite by their
neglect shall come, to crowd them
selvs in upon their more fortunate
neighbors but will be fenced
out as horrors akin to pestilence itself. In
view OF this certainty, a majority Of the
cities and villages of the South are clean
ing up--arc proiting by the experience Of
last year. and putting themselves in the
best possible sanitary condition. # this
good work is carried out, and the govern
ment establishes a rigid national quarantine,
we will escape the havoc of another cpl
demic.
