WE admit that we are not
"stuck" after the wit of the pas
sage, quoted as to the remarks of
one of our leading Democrats, by
an evening paper yesterday. That
journal proceeds, however, as fol-
lows:
We would like to know (D the
circumstances under which the
witty Democrat in question made
his remark; (2) the location OF the
meeting with (a) the seating capac.
ity OF the auditorium, (b) the lights,
10 the length of time Col. Godfrey
was 10 speak, and (3) what the
witty Democrat considers false
position. With these additional
lights thrown upon the matter
perhaps we shall be able to master
the drift of the apothegm.
We shall endeavor to answer
these questions in short meter.
~ The gallant Colonel Godfrey,
as all his friends know, is frequent.
ly in the habit of suggesting to his
acquaintance that they would be
very much benefited by listening
to the honey of Hybla which pours
from his inspired lips.
(2) AS to the location Of the meet
ings of this Kind we have to betake
ourselves to the columns of the
said evening paper, or to those Re-
publican papers which pat the gall
liant Colonel on the back, think
ing he is sure to elect Pacheco.
(a) AS to the seating capacity OF
the auditorium it need not be very
large ii it is to contain only those
peasoDs who propose to vote for
Godfrey. (h) The lights are God
frey's own light, which is never hid.
den under bushel. (c) As to the
length of time the Colonel was to
speak, it would depend great deal
on the presence OF a little brown
jug, containing water, of course.
The Colonel, when he starts out to
show how Maine became degener-
ate, in these later days, is apt to
make calculation as to the length
Of time he will speak a very uncer-
tain one. He has been known at
times to talk people into a gallop-
ing consumption, where the "audi-
torium" was so enclosed as to pre-
vent escape. and he talked pretty
we'll, too.
AS to the Democrat in question,
we don't think he aimed to be wit
ty but rather to be wise. His sue
cess we leave to the Judgment of
the public and an unbiased pos
terity.

stiii sae Maine Election.
CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-An analysis
OF the figures received from Maine
this morning show pretty conclus-
lively that Davis will be elected.
provided he can gain 80 votes over
last year from the two hundred OF
more towns yet to hear from. This
conclusion is arrived at in this
way: Davis has gained In 34S towns
400 votes over the returns of 1879.
This leaves him only 90 votes to
gain in order to tie with Plaisted.
1t seems certain that Davis will
make much larger gains than 9C
votes, because the later returns
have given him very considerable
advantage. Now, il he beats
Plaisted by one vote, he will be
elected, provided the Constitution.
81 amendment which is being voted
for carries and is construed as re.
troactive. This amendment pro.
vides for an election of Governor
by a plurality vote. II the amend
ment fails or is construed as not re.
troactive in its effect, then Plaisted
will fall far short OF a majority ovel
all, and the question of the selec.
tion of the Governor will be refer.
ted to the Legislature, which, be-
ing largely Republican, will, Of
course, select Davis. 1t looks al
though Davis could hardly fail Of
winning.

snow slides I'm Quebec.

A special despatch from Quebec Can.
ada, says: Since the snow storm Of
yesterday two or three avalanches ol
snow have fallen from the cliff b, ceath
the Citadel, in one instance several
houses narrowly escaped demolition.
In March, 1875, such q snow slide oc-
cured, which demolished three houses
and killed eleven people. Yesterday
Michael Hucke's house, on Champlain
street, was struck by an avalanche
which forced in the back wjndows and
doors, passing out through the freni
smashing the furniture and partitions
on its say. Only the giving way ol
the back windows saved the house and
its inmates from destruction. The fam.
lily were providentially on the second
fat, which saved their lives. The
road in front of the building is blocked
by 20 feet of snow.
Three hundred yards further up the
street another avalanche fell close to a
number Of inhabited houses, and filled
the roadway twenty-five feet deep with
snow. ALI the inhabitants OF the street
two miles long, are threatened with
the same danger, and the greatest con-
sternation exists, some Of them leaving
their homes and others afraid TO 90 to
bed.
Three children eight years old while
sliding near Vslisr street, were sudden
ly buried beneath another snow slide
last evening to the depth oftwslve feet.
The most exciting search was made for
them, but over ten minutes were oecu-
pied in digging them out, all three be-
ing found alive, but perfectly black in
color, and unconscious. They state
that they retained sonciousness q short
time attsr being buried by the snow,

ding danger and fears of further catas-
trophies are very appalling here.

Mr.. DAVID W. HUGHEs, assessor fol
the Southern district of Wilmington
admits that in the hurry and confusion
of making up his extra assessment,
there may have been some omissions
and errors unintentionally made by
him, and in order to do what is right
in such cases, he extends an invitation n
to all persons who left their names with
him to be assessed and which do not ap-
pear in the extra assessment hung up
in the respective wards or as published
in the REPUBLICAN,, to call on him at
his residence, 935 Chestnut street, any
evening this week, not later than seven
o'clock, when he will be glad to correct
any errors that may have been made,
and to place on the list the names of
auy he may have accidentally omitted.
This is very kind of Mr.. Hughes, and
we hope that if there are any of the
class he alludes to, they will promptly
accept his invitation.

AFTER A conversation with Mr.. GeoIg,
C. Ward, the assessor for the Northern
district of this city, we can state thai
there is no assurance whatever, that he
will sit at the city hall on Monday next
to assess those who may apply. The
Levy Court will meet on Tuesday, and
as the assessors will have their assess
ment duplicates to prepare ready to
lay before the Levy Court on that day
they think they will have no time left
in which to get their lists ready if they
sit at the City Hall OH Monday. This
will make it the mora necessary to be
present on Saturday between 9 O. clock
in the morning and s o'clock In the
evening. Let all who are not assessed
be present at the City Hall on Saturday
next.

Iu the REPUBLICAN, to-day we publish
comparative statement Of the expen-
diturss in certain departments of
the city government Of Reading and
Wilmington. 1t requires but glance
to see that on the score Of economy the
former is ahead. The statement may
be studied with profit by not Ouly our
rulers but by our citizens generally. 1t
may bs possible that the street depart
ment of Wilmington requires $l4, ,9j6.-
CT; that the Fire department requires
IS, 4O5.89; that the police department
requires $4,000, and that the lighting Of
the city requires some $ll 900 more to
carry them on than the city ofReading
does, but if so, rejecting people would
like to know what makes this large diff
ference. The items enumerated foot up
in round numbers about $40, 900 which
it seems Reading does not use in the
departments named, and if saved to the
city would materially reduce the rate
Of taxation. The matter is worth look
ing into any how, and as Reading has
proved that she can get nlong and keep
the city in good condition with one
fourth less cost than Wilmington, we
can see no good reason why the same
economy should not be introduced into
this city.

Latest Rat stories.

of the Oath inst, gives the following
chapter on rats: On Thursday OF last
week A. P. Carnagy, with the assist.
ance of two men and dog, killed one
hundred and FIVE rats, in haymow
about seventy feet square. The man.
ner in which they were captured was az
follows: The hay was carefully removed
by being thrown out Of a window in
small bunches, so that there would be
no rats thrown out with it. After get
ting the hay all ont with the exception
of about four hundred pounds which
was left in opposite corners OF the NOW,
as a hiding place for the rats, the win.
dOws we're then closed, aud, on stirring
up the hay in one corner, out came
about fifty rats, scampering in all direc.
tions. The war then commenced in
earnest and in abont an hour from that
time, there was killed the above mum
Der of the pests. While this may seem
to be big rat story, nevertheless, it can
be vouched for by quite number ofre
sponsible parties, who saw the rats
after they we're killed.
A KirkwoCd merchant recently re.
ceived box with note accompany ing
it, which read as follows: "Friend -,
Stuck on butter, help me ont, do the

his supposed butter, and when he
opened the box, he found two layers OF
paper and two layers of rats, number

In MAKING up the items of fine and
costs against the Italian at the Police
Court last night, Sergeant Whelan sud.
denly recalled an item of three dollars
to pay the lawyer, which was added to
the amount. This smacks a little Of
sharp practice, as the Italian is not
known to have had lawyer employed,
and City Solicitor Macalister appeared
for the city. Even if the Italian had a
lawyer in the case it would be an un
usual thing to tack his fee to a bill Of
costs.
