he was elected, while other Repdblis
cans on the ticket wers defeated.
Turning to Wilmington we find about
the same spirit exists. 1t cannot be
denied that the Republican party Of our
city has been liberal to the Irish
Americans in proportion to the vote
thrown for it. 1t is within the recol-
lection of many that the Republicans OF
Wilmington elected John F. Mil
Ter City Treasurer, Philip Plunkett has
been repeatedly elected to the City
Council from the First Ward, and &. J.
McManus has also been elected to
Council from the Third Ward. We
might adduce many other instances 10
show that the Republican party has
net been SO iRtolerant and proscriptive
as the Democrats have been If it were
necessary. The intolerancy Of the
Democracy is shown in the fact that no
Irishman has ever been allowed to rise
to a higher Office than City Council
man in Wilmington. Not many years
ago, H. F. Finnegan got the nomination
but he was defeated at the polls, many
Democrats joining the Republicans in
securing his defeat. OF course at that
time he would have been defeated any
hsw by the Republicans but that was
no reason why Democrats should have
helped to make his defeat 30 crushing.
Only in 1875, Gsorge O'Neill, ESQ, was
no doubt honestly nominated as the
candidate of the Democrats for Mayor
Of the city, but he was counted out by
those who had charge of the ballot
boxes, and Col. W. G. Whitley was
in and was afterwards elected.
Fresh in the minds Of the people is the
1efeat Of Thomas Ford for the Demo- |
,ratio nomination for Sheriff. MIR. Ford |
was allowed to fill a seat in the City
Council, but the aspiration for the
shsrift's Office was too high and his
wings had to be clipped. Thomas r. |
Lally is now an applicant for appoint.
nent to the P,othouotary's Office, soon
% become vacant, hut he need not ex-
'ect to be appointed, not even if he
we're to remove to st. Georges Hundred.
den of his nationality and religion
must hover around the Board of Edu.
alton and the City Council. Thus far
an they go and no farther. This is
he edict of the Democratic party.

Department Of Agriculture says that
the acreage soWn i'll oats shows an in-
crease OF two per cent. over 1879. The
Gulf and Southern inland States show
little or no change from last year. The
average condition of the crop is much
better than last year, and is 93 against
81 in June, 1879. Texas, Of all the
Gulf States, is tho only one that re-
ports above II. The general COM
plnint is drought in all the Middle and
South Atlantic Statcs, and rust and
too much rain in the Gulf and South
crn States. Tho acreage ct clover
shows no very material change from
last year, the only change, being Il
noticeable increase in the cotton grow
ing States and on the Pa citic slope.
The prospects of a good truit.growing
season is very tav orablc.
THE CURrEW.-Did YOU ever Won
der what the word meant? It's origin
was this: When William the First con-
qucrcd England, he enacted q law, in
imitation ola French and Spanish Gus
tom, that every poor person should
put out his fire and 60 to bed at dusk,
when he heard bell rung for the pur-
pose, which was called, in Norman
! French, coMrye fen, corrupted by the
. SaXons into "curiew," sand means
"covcr up the fire." The law in fey
centuries ceased to be enforced; but
the habit Of ringing the bell continued,
aud III some parts Df England and
America is still continued.-S. s..
