The musical and literary entertainment
given by the Mount Cuba Sunday
school in Mt. Cuba hall, on Thursday
evening, the 9Th inst, was grand
affair and Notwithstanding the unfav-
orable weather and the bad condition
of the roads, it was success; the music
on the organ by Mr.. Brown and the
singing by Prot. Allen, assisted by RS.
Pryor and Miss Casperson and Mr..
Rebeker and Shakespear all from Will
mington, was sublime and raptu,ously
appauded. The superb select reading
by Henry G. Conrad, Esq, was listened
to with rapt attention and won the
highest praise by the spell bound aud
fence. The humorous and select read
ing by the inimitable Prof ]. II. Crabb,
was received by storming applause.
His versatile talent and mimicry.

Upon inquiry it is found that Of l25
Democratic congressman, members of
the last House, only l3 make Tilden
their first choice for the Presidential
nomination; 81 are dead against him,
and there are Q who pronounce him ac-
ceptable if he can be nominated. Of
the remainder, so prefer Thurman as a
first choice, IL want Hendricks, 10 call
for Bayard, and AZ declare that they
have no preference. It's reported from
New York that Tilden has cleared a
million dollars by his operations in ele-
waited railroad stock, and we cannot I'M
agine better purpose to which he can
devote the money than to the task of
those 43 "no-choice' Demo.
Gratis that he is the only hope of the
party. Perhaps judicious expeudi-
ture might also change the minds of
some of the 81 who reject him absolute
ly. Tilden knows how to manage such

The DesssOcracy 'Out Of Meat"
From the N. Y, Herald, March

lfrom the N. T., hera3d, March
A farmer crossing his field in the
morning to begin his days work no
ticed boy who had chased a wood
chuck into its hole and was plying a
crowbar and shovel to dig the animal
out. Returning late i'll the day the
farmer passed tho same spot and found
the ragged urchin still digging like a
beaver, with great pile of fresh earth
as monument OF his industry. Aren't
you taking more trouble for that wood
chuck than hs is WORTH 81 must get
this woodchuck," was the reply; "the
fact is the family Is out of meat This
anecdote was never so aptly applied by
the relator as it may now he to the dig
ging out of the Democratic woodchuck
at Washington. "The family is out of
meat" The Democratic party has no
issue on which it could safely go before
the people in this years elections. The
currency issue is worse than spoiled by
the successful resumption ofspecie pay
ments. Besides, the currency ques-
ton is a gr0Gnd Of Democratic dissen-
sion and division, whereas the Repul.
Leans have become united on that
question. The fraud issue, which has
lately been galvanized ints life by The
laborious effects of the Potter Commit
tee, is too stale to excite mach interest.
The Democratic party was destitute of
any potent live issue on which the par
ty could agree and the sore stress of
necessity has compelled it to expend
labor in digging out a
political woodchuck. What the new
ssuc will be worth to this family which
IS out OF meat will be seen when they
,ome to cook it in the political canvass.
1t is infinitely to be regretted
hat the business of the country is to
)e disturbed and unsettled by this
emi revolutionary agitation which
threatens to disorganize the Govern.
nent in pursuit Of party ends.

From EUr0De.

LONDON, March S.-The 'Times' says
the first consignment of cattle, subject
to the new regulations, arrived yester.
day at Liverpool in the Warren Line
steamer Brazilian, which has been
peculiarly successful in her transpor,
of live stock. This is her second vcy,
age from Boston during the winter,
when the Atlantic is rough, without
losing single head of cattle.
Yesterday the Brazilian landed 3Ol
head at the special lairage licensed by
the Privy Council at Birkenhead. Every
animal was apparently sound and heal
thy, and it is anticipated they will find
ready market in London and Liver
pool, as dead meat, within the ten days
allowed for slaughter.
If this expectation is realized, it is
probable that American shippers who
are waiting the result of the Brazilian's S
experiment will send large number of
beasts under the same condition.

Cheap Oranges.

New York is glutted with oranges,
which have seldom fever been as cheap
in that market as they are now. The
crop in Florida and abroad has been un-
usually large. The Valencia crop alone
was over 1000, 600 cases, or 500, 100000
oranges, and it is principally with for
eign oranges that the market is glutted
for the Florida oranges, being more
highly esteemed and generally received
in ripper and better condition, are in
much better demand, and eonseq quently
sell at higher prices as fast rs they ar
rive. In New York Florida oranges are
now selling at about s. box, while
Valencia or Messina fruit brings only
about $3.50 per boz.

TH ERE'S A PEACEFUL HOUR,
tsBY II. X. W.

There's a peaceful hour at the close OF day,
When the cares OF life can be laid away;
And we turn aside from the noisy mirth,
To the loved around our cwn dear hearth.
Sad, sorr0wful tears for the wrong we've done
Teuderly come with the setting of sun;
And the arms OF faith are stretched out afar,
While He swiftly comes In His chariot car.
The penitent tear, and His own rich grace,
Bring the sinner and Saviour face to lace,
While a peace unknown to the world gives
rest,
As We humbly lean on our Saviour's breast.
There's a peaceful hour. as we lay our head
80 trustingly sweet upon our bed;
Without one worrying thought or fear,
And feel the great God Is near, 30 near.
There's q mine ofjoy In an hour like this.
When the soul is filled with heavenly bliss,
! nd the heart breathes forth tervent prayer,
That the ransomed world this joy may share.

The Silence OF Hendricks.

From tho Now York Tribune.
There is nothing more eloquent in
the country at present than the silence
of Hendricks. While Tilden sends
about his photographs and distributes
judioious compliments where they will
do the most good, Hendricks sits silent
ly in Indianapolis, nursing an aching
tooth, and, rerchance, an aching heart
at the same time. The world has been
cruel to him. Thurman has kidnap-
ped his rag baby, and Tilden has such
a mortgage on the fraud cry that no.
body else can get any good out of it.
Then, too, Hendricks can't unfold any
innocence to be rewarded and condoned,
because he had no wicked pal tneIs and
was not deceived by anybody. lie
didn't stamp out any inchoate crimes,
and, most of all, he doesn't live in a
pivotal" State. 1t is dreadfully
sad.

that the number or peach trees now
growing on this peninsula is less by
about one-third than it was three years

portions than young ones are planted.
What does this mean! The Dover

stick closer to his prayers. How about

Pblladelphia may we'll claim to BE-
the hsalthiest city in the world. 1t il
the second city in this country, and in
the first dozen Of the large cities of the
world, yet the death rate last year was
only 1897 q thousand. The population
Of the city Is now probably over $50, 900
at least, and yet the number Of deaths
is less than in any year since 1869,
when our population was 100, 900 less.
The births were 1908 in excess Of the
deaths, showing 3 natural increase in
the population Of about one-third of
one per cent. The marriages were
more numerous than in any year since
1874. There were nearly thousand
more male infants than female. More
were born in January than in any other
month, and more in the Nineteenth
than in any other ward. October
proved to bs the favorite month for
weddings by large majority. More
than o.thirds Of the persons married
were natives Of this country, and the
Iorel8n element was stronger IN the
brides than in the grooms. Only forty
grooms were under twenty, but l,05l
brides had not reached that age. The
period from twenty to twenty-five
proved the most susceptible to matri-
mony for both sexes. Five grooms were
over seventy years of age, and four Of
them married women betws sixty and
seventy. No women over seventy-or
At least none who owned TO any such
age--wers married. The Catholic
priests performed the most ceremonies,
and the Methodists came next. The
ieaths were quite evenly divided as to
sex, and the number of adults was only
900 greater than of childven. Scarlet

been death from small pox since Au-

The Great Change at wash iugtsn

from the Albany Evening Journal, Rep
|. is great change which is to take
place upon the meeting of the new Con-
gress. The eulogy of jeff Davis, and
his being compared with Washington,
in the Senate Chamber, foreshadow
one phase of the present condition of
affairs. The defiant attitude of the
Democrats in the House, wherein they
propose to block the very wheels of the
Government, unless they are permitted
to cheat, bulldoze and stuff ballot boxes
to their hearts content, without any
Federal eye to report their doings,
marks another phase, while the pres
ent unheard ofrush for all the petty
places in the Senate indicates another.
The people Of tho north will 60 straight
to the marrow of all these matters in

have no quarrel with jeff Davis, but
the spirit and temper which prompt
United States Senators to mention him
in the same breath with Washington
