It was we'll for New Castle county that
seventy thousand dollar Court
> House was in course Of erection. It
must have been that which prevented
loss Of equilibrium and conseque mt
uplifting Of the northern end Of our
commonwealth. As the Delaware Leg
islaturs oongregated timorously upon
} the seashore OF Sussex there was an un-
certain wobbling and = psrcsptibls un-
steadiness about the hills Of the shell
pot that caused considerable treprida-
ton. At least 50 1t is said.
Wholly unconscious of this danger
that threatened to follow the general
evacuation the Assemblynsn and their
friends were enjoying themselves to the
utmost possibility. The "heavy
weights Of Sussex" Senators Con-
away and Rust and representative
Fooks---are here and are even now with
legs long and awkward, doing their best
to look their sweetest as their genial
hearts expand under the rays Of sun
shine from the faces Of three pretty
ladies. Coquetting seems to be their
forte, even II their hair is becoming |
silvered.
Senator Shapley, ever gallant, has
his legislative "locusts" around the
waist Of timid school "marm," and
sndeavors TO induce her to brave the
breakers.
The Senator doesn't look very digni.
fed, no one ever does in bathing cos
tune. The pair venture and as the
youthful Senator prepares to plunge
q huge breaker takes him unwarily and
in an instant thereafter various legs of
sundry shapes and sizes with arms and
bodies so close in communion that indi
viduality is lost in the general disorder,
are seen executing irregular rotary (
movements. When this miscellaneous
mass came in shore the school marin
and the Senator gathered each unto
themselves and they rolled over on the
sand and began to empty themselves of
the gallons of salt water that had found
ingress into their system.
The happiest man here is Represen-
tative James W. Ware. He worked
up the re. union and he finds his reward
in the evidences OF general qualification
that beam forth from the faces Of all
the participants. He is master of cere-
monies and as be travels to and fro he h
divines the merest wish, and busies II
himselfto add to the comfort of all. By
his exertions the members were favored q
with bali in the evening. A number j.
of young ladies were present most Of ="
whom were from Lewes.
The experience of last winter at the
Capital on this occasion stood them in n
good stead. Grave and reverend Sen G.
ators with legs stiffened by accumula-
ting years, and bad attacks of rheuma-
tics, ,glided through the intricacies with u
q zest of other days, while the ladies'
we'll they seemed to take delight in the t
and why shouldn't they
If 1t was the intention Of some to take
Of the occasion for little $
wire pulling, as was intimated there
would be, there must have been sew tt
