ECnOEs FROM THE MEETING.

What the Democrats Say and How
They Feel.
An old Democrat picked up one Of
the party papers last evening and after
reading the petition presented at the
county meeting asking for amend
ment Of the rules, he remarked,
SNOW let's see who these Democrats
are who want all this DONE" As hia
eye ran down the rather formidable list
smile overspread his face, and when
he concluded he blurted out, "Pll be
darned If that amt shameful. Nearly
every mothers son of 'em who signed
that thing are Office holders or have
been very recently, and it's a deep
dyed trick to keep in office. Let 'em 80
ahead and do just that, and 1t will
raise such howl Of indignation as they
never heard before"
1t is now understood that the feel
ing among the Democrats ia so strong
against the proposed amendment to the
rules that no less than forty of the
signers regret that they appended their
signatures, and desire to, withdraw
them. A good bit Of frank talk is be-
ing INDUCED in around town, and
Chairman McIntire, who is charged
with the parentage Of the petition has
a hornets nest about his ears.
The County Executive Committee
will meet at the Clayton House on Sat-
urday next at 2 o'clock. At that time
the Judges of Election will be appointed
and other business transacted. ThsYe
is every prospect of a lively time, as
both the factions are represented by
talking men, and neither are likely to
yeild any points.
The report in the REPUBLICAN gave
very good idea Of the mesting, and
even the Democrats who were present,
admit that it is truthful. A number
of the guilty complain that the stub.
born facts are given too plainly and
think it strange that this paper could
not smooth the proceedings over as the
Democratic journals did. It may be
stated that the REPUBLICAN gives truth
full reports Of all things that take
place. Even the recent Republican
Convention at Dover was chronicled
as faithfully in these columns as in the
columns of the other Wilmington
dailies.
Mr.. Mellon wants it understood that
the picture drawn of his course in the
meeting was too glowing. He desires
to have it stated that his brain was not
in the meeting that he knew
perfectly what he was doing, and that
his actions and observations were not
near so pronounced as the report made
it appear.
Dennis Gallagher wants certain other
to understand that he did not
vote for ch airman McIatire.

OHFOr His Vacation .

Prof. P. W. Hochkeppel closed his
instructions in languages yesterday
Last summer he taught without inter.
ruption whatever and the number Of
his pupils was larger than in the fall.
1t seems his health has declined owing
both to his enormous domestic troubles
and work. He will leave this week for
Maryland, where he with an old friend
will spend the first part Of his vacation.
We are glad To state that Mr.. Hochkep-
pei, who is so well known and highly
respected in this community, will re-.
turn In August, to resume the useful
teaching Of ancient and modern Ian.

The Mule and the Locomotive.

A California community has sur.
passed the atrocity of Spanish bull
fights by a match between mule anda
locomotive. The mule was large and
bony army mule, and the locomotive
was one of the celebrated Paterson
breed. A circular track was built in a
large temporary amphitheater, on which
the locomotive was run at full speed,
and the mule was let loose in the arena
to deal with its antagonist as it saw fit.
The mule watched the locomotive for
some time, with its ears in threaten
ing attitude, and, when the locomotive
had attained speed of full fifty miles
an hour, backed up in front of it, and
delivered a kick with both feet,
The locomotive was brought to an in
slant stop, trembling in every wheel,
while hot perspiration of steam COW
cred its surface. After being carefully
sponged off and stimulated with small
Goals the miserable locomotive was
again set in motion. This time the
mule kicked it with such terrific vio-
lence as to break its funnel short off,
and to smash its headlight. Moaning
with pain, the locomotive was once
more sponged, and its wounds bound
up with sheet-iron. At this point sew
eral ladies left the amphitheater, being
unable to witness any longer so brutal
a spectacle, but the inhuman owner of
the locomotive ordered time to be
called, and the combat to be renewed.
The mule waited till the locomotive
was running at an estimated speed Of
sixty-seven miles an hour, and then de-
ivered his final kick. The hapless
locomotive was hurled some thirty feet
from the track, and was taken up with
it's boiler ruptured, its eccentrics dislo-
Gated. and its connecting-rods broken.
It breathed it's last steam in few mo-
ments in great apparent suffering, and
the mule was declared the victor. A
more revolving spectacle has probably
never been Witnessed in any Spanish
bull-ring. We cannot shut our eyes to
the fact that we have eclipsed in the
nineteenth century the worst barbara
ties of Rome and Madrid.

Leather.

Leather has long history. II it is
too exclusive motto that ''there is nothing
like leather" few manufactured things
are older. 1t was probably the very first
bit OF manufacture-rude, yet suited to
its purpose, the use of bark for harden
ing and preserving skins having, no
doubt, been practlsed in prehistoric
times. Even our progenitor-the ancient
Briton-used strong hide thong to
throw his stones with, ana was scantily
clad in leather, anticipating the odd de-
sire of George Fox, the founder of Quak-
erism. Within the period of authentic
history, legislated for and protected, and
has often been included in sumptuary
regulations. 1t is very odd to read that
in England in the sixteenth century COM
plants were made that skins were tanned
in three weeks, (thus unconsciously short.
ening the period of use and want, which
had been about one year, and that in
consequence an act was passed in 1888
prohibiting tanners from selling hides
that were not attested to have been in
the tanpit. And the jealousy of rival
guilds, which did something In old days
to secure the division of labor, If nothing
more, is also seen in the history of leath-
er. In 1439, tanners were prohibited
from being shoemakers; while in 1865,
butchers were precluded from becoming
tanners under penalty. Some Of the re-
str1ctions which surrounded the leather
manufacturers actually remained until
1880, when they were completely re-
moved by an act of George Nv. Free

A Chinese Emperors's Studies.

The sons of the Manchu Emperors
hwang-tsz) undergo from their tender
est youth system of the strictest edu-
cation. Rising at about 3 o'clock in the
morning, they first take their lesson in
Chinese literature, under the superin-
tendence of the only tutor, who has the
title of shih-fu or master" The tutor
rises from his chair as soon as the i'm
perial pupils enter, and receives from
the latter courtesy (ta-ch'ien), which is
then returned in the same form. The
tutor takes the seat of honor, and when
the lesson is learned the pupil brings
up his book, deposits it before his teach
er, and returns to his seat to repeat the
task by heart. If the lesson is not learned
the tutor requests q eunuch in at
tendance to bring the ferule Ching
PAM and makes show of administer
ing correction. But each imperial pupil
is accompanied by eight fellow-students
(pwan-tub,) known in the Manchu lam
guage as ha-ha-chu, who study the same
books as their young master. When it
becomes necessary to admonish the lat
ter more seriously the ha-ha-chu are
beaten with the ferule vicariously; but
when the imperial pupil acquits him
self well they are, on the other hand,
commended or rewarded. A recalci-
trant and obstinate Prince is, as the last
resort, actually himself logged, though
probably only nominally, by the teach
er, or taken before the Emperor, vino

ssCrOmwell's IrOnsides.''

The world never saw such a notable
cavalry regiment as the one which
Cromwell commanded, and which was
known as the "Ironsides." They turned
the tide of many battle, and never
fought a losing battle.
From the very outset of the contest
Cromwell foresaw that the Parliament
could not contend against the King
unless it should have in it's service men
capable of meeting them on some
ground of principle; and so, against
the spirit of chivalry which actuated
the Royalists, he proposed to direct the
religious spirit of the Puritans.
He unfolded his scheme to Hamp-
den, who thought it "a good notion,
but impracticable." Cromwell thought
it quite practicable, and proved by acts
that he was right.
He recruited his regiment with the
distinct idea that it should be composed
of religious men.
There was not an officer in it who
was not capable of leading his men in
prayer as well as in battle.
Reading the Bible was as much their
occupation as was the study of military
tactics; yet so thoroughly were they
disciplined that they became the finest
body of troops which the world has
ever seen.
This regiment was composed mainly
of freeholders, or sons of freeholders,
residing in Cromwell's own neighbor-
hood, 50 that almost every man of them
was personally acquainted with almost
every other man.
All writer's, both friends and enemies
unite in bearing testimony to the valor
discipline, skill in arms, religious zeal
and freedom from military vices Of
these famous "Ironsides."
