after tbe scalp Of Col. B. R. Heisler
who so feroely attacked the morals o
the scholars Of School No. ], ssme tint

Bditorislly it says: "During 3 70

gross immortality and indecenoy especial

School No. /, and said that he ssuld
prove his statements.
That these charges are without real
foundation, we have every reason Il
believe.
This man says he hardly goes out in

One Of the girls in a communication
remarks: "We are accused Of having
written notes to yen, and behaving in
an unladylike manner when in your 60
ciety. Now, you know we are real
good, and won't you, dear boys, defend

JAMES A. BAYARD.
Tine Venerable. Ex.Renafor'S Con.
dItion-His noaih Reiy9ste...


The venerable James A. Bayard, for
some two weeks past has been quite in
disposed, which his physician, Dr. J.
K. Kane, oharscserizes as 8 general
sinking of the whole physical system.
This was accompanied by a persistent
effort on the part Of the patient to re-
main in bed, and he thought himself
much more ailing than he in reality
was. For a day or two past he has
been rapidly recovering, and is now
much improved.
The illness of the ex-senator. has
been sufficient to cause his son, the
present Senator, Hon. T. r. Bayard, TO-
return home from Washington, and he
is now at his fathers bedside.
A report was on the street last night
and this morning that Mr.. Bayard was
dead, and the enterprising correspon-
dent OF the New York "Wo-ld" at once
telegraphed the intelligence to his
paper. The result is that the "World''
this morning contains an excellent but
rather untimely obituary of the distin-
guished Delawarean.

tnC Del aware etOwmugfuoe 1880.

The steamboats, that ran en- the
DelaWaFe from Phflaaelphia u
shc Delaware townssinse 1850.
The Philadelphia 'Lsdgsr" has
BEEN hunting up the history Of steam.
boating on the Delaware and from 1t we
clip the following of LEGAL interest to
the towns on the west side of the river !:
The first boat running to Whining
ton was the Vssta. This was previous
to year 1920. The Superior followed,
then the Wilmington, which was sold
to parties In the South between 1885
and 1870, and was lost while on her
way to her destination. After the Will
mingten came the Emerald, then the
New Castle. About the year 1888 Cap
tain Whilden built the steamboat Tels-
graph, and ran her to and from Will
mington, carrying the passengers Of the
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad,
the road rot being then extended to
Philadelphia. Tho Ballssn and the
Napoleon are mentioned as VIII
mington boats between 1s42
and 1850. Captain Whiidsn, in
1s45, built tie steamboat Whilden for
the Wilmington line, and ran her
for twelve years, when she was altered
TO . propeller and placed in the Phila-
delphia and Baltimore Line, where she
is still dsing good service. In 1859 the
steamboat Zephyr was bought by the
Wilmington Steamboat Company and
ran on the line until 1858, when she
was sold South and there lost. The
Samuel N. Tslton, built in 1868, was
put on the Wilmington rsute about
1857, and is still on the line. She
is now at Wilmington undergoing re.
pairs, and will resume her trips in the
course of couple Of months. In 1859
or 1870, the boats Eliza Hanoox, and
Sylvester were put on the Wilmington
route to run in opposition to the FELTON,,
and made the competition quite lively
for the time.
SMYRNA.
On the Smyrna route, the Zephyr
was the first boat. This was in 1845.
In the following year the Kent ran.
The Napoleon was also on the routs for
time. The Balloon, about 1850, was
put on this route by Capt. Whilden
and ran for several years. In 1852
she was sold to the United States Gov
ernment. In 1857, Captain Whilden
built the Pilot Boy and ran her on the
Smyrna route until 1852, when, after
running to other points, she came into
the possession Of Mr.. Calvin Taggart
and Is new running between Baltimore
and Colchester, Nd. The propeller
John Z. Tygert is now running on the
Smyrna rsute.
OTHER DeWE nIvER POINTS.
As far back as 1890, boats ran down
the river to Hew-Castle and Delaware
City, with passengers for those points
and for Baltimore. Among these boats
were the Delaware, Baltimore, New
Castle, George Washington, Ohio, Will
liaR Penn, Carol Of Carroltsn aud
Robert Morris. The William Penn was
burned on the river opposite Gloucester,
