There are many attractions In and
around the Union depot to interest peo-
pie who are waiting for trains. There
is the big buffalo head, the fat police
man, beautiful timetables, advertise
ments of oyster houses and fights be-
tween bootblacks, but one no sooner
gets settled down to solid comfort than
he is made to realize how cold the
world Is. Yesterday was sample case.
A man who had an hour-and-a-half TO
wait was putting In the first quarter by
looking at the sign: "This' way to the
ferry" when a long-haired, straight
nosed man touched his arm aud in-
quired:
"my friend, are you posted on Bibli-
cal history"
"No, sir !" was the immediate re-
ply.

ton. Never read the Bible much,

"No, sirl"
"Sorry. It's q very good book
very good. Were your parents inn

yes. sir, and so am ], aud I'm pretty
wicked besides"
"sorry. Which way are you 60
ing?"
None of your business, sirl want
you TO go away from herep
ado, ehP Do you know where the
ark rested p
"No, sir, and don't want 10 talk to
you'll"
"Sorry. Why did the children cross
the Red sea. Why didn't they 90 round
it?"
The other walked round the ticket
Office to get rid Of his questioner, but
while he went one way the old maD
went the other and as they met the lat
ter asked:
sIf the rotary motion of the earth
was to be increased one half what would
be the effect"
am tell you what the eff ct of your
following me around will be !" sternly
replied the other. "The first thing you
know you'll have an awful swelling be-
tween the eyes"
"Sorry. Do you remember the task
| imposed on ArchimedesP"
The infidel walked out towards the
river and the other slowly followed.
When they reached the wharf the form
er halted and said:
"You've got to quit this or fightl"
"Why, l only wanted information.
| They say that Hamlet was q Dane,
but do you know whether he was or

The other reached out and got one in
on the old mans chin, but 1t was rather
unfortunate. He with the long hair
suddenly started up like runaway en-
| gine, and in about minute was seated
asiride of the other and had him boxed
and bottled. When the employees Of
the freight house rushed out he was say
ing:
"Sorry, very sorry, but If you know

A Regiment Historian.
THE ANNALS OF THE SECOND DELLA
WARE REGIMENT.

THE ANNALS OF THE SECOND, DELA-
WARE REGIMENT.
Eyes, Delaware really had one more
regiment than she was credited with"
remarked Magistrate Brady as he sat
in his Office last evening, reviewing old
war scenes. "You see, the First Della
ware was organized in a hurry, and
was composed of fmen for three months
service. The least sanguine Of us
thought the war would be over before
their term expired, but we were sadly
mistaken. ! remember the night the
permanent organization was reached.
We were in Odd Fellows hall, and
while there messenger came in with
dispatch stating that trouble had
commenced in Baltimore. That was
on April 18th, 1851. The riot took
place in Baltimore the next day. They
had no trouble in getting up the regi-
ment then, for every one was eager to
go. This regiment served fot three
months and came home. By this time
the Second Delaware had gone TO the
front. The First Delaware reorgan-
lied, with some additions, and called
themselves by their former name when
they should have been the "Third." !"
According to the members, Delaware
had nine regiments, but, when proper
ly counted she had ten."
Magistrate Brady, or "Captain
Brady" speaking more properly, is
now engaged in writing a history of
the Second Delaware Regiment, which
will soon be completed. He is aus
piciously calculated for the task, and
the work, when completed, will be an
exceedingly interesting one. The work
after brief introduction, proceeds to
deal with the different officers one by
one, and brief biography is given of
each. This being done, the service of
the regiment is reviewed at length and
all the scenes of active fighting recall
ed from the departure from Whining
ton, the mastering out at the close of
the war. Captain Brady is receiving
much encouragement in his under
taking.

fore seen in the building.
The various committees appointed
for the occasion are rapidly perfecting
their arrangements, and they are so
distributed that every person who at
tends may rest assured that all their
wants will be anticipated by the MEM
bers of the different committees.
The managers have ordered one thou
sand beautiful programmes, which will
be presented to each lady on the march,
and should they run short, which no
doubt they will, they have prepared
checks for the ladies who do not receive
ons. These checks will be numbered
and after the ball Is over, the ladies will
send them TO tho company. who will or
der an extra number In order to supply
the deficiency. !,

THR OPERA TnIs HvkN1Ne.

s@1 Va hAa AAAA1 - --'-~'N'
There is but very little doubt that
the Opera House will be crowded this
evening with the admirers not only of
Opera, but of Gilbert and Sullivan.
So much has been said of the Cpl
rates of Penzance," that it is almost
useless to add anything more. It has
stood the tests Of the best critics in
New York and Philadelphia, where it
has been presented, and is still running
TO crowded houses. It abounds in hap
py situations, while the dialogue is
broad, almost to burlesque. The mu-
sic although not so light and catching
as that Of ''Pinafore," is just suffi-
ciently light that all may understand
and enjoy it. The score is sparkling,
and is easily understood.
The opera will be presented here by
thorough artists, and full and well
trained chorus of forty voices. The
scenery necessary for the proper pre-
sentation of the opera will also be
brought along, requiring one car to
hold 1t. No minor detail will he over
looked, and those who attend will no
doubt be highly pleased.
As for a comparison with "that in
fernal nonsense, 'Pinafore,'" as one of
the characters in the present play calls
1t, it can fairly be made, since the two
come from the same hands, Gilbert's
share of the present work is even
brighter than in the former opera. It
is fuller of points and happy witicisms.
AS for Mr.. Sullivan, he has evidently
spared no pains to prevent himself
from falling behind his previous repu-
tation, and has given to the pirates"
even more elaborate and carefully
written score, and q broader and more
scholarly treatment than he brought to
the composition of Pinafore. The
story is exceedingly droll, full of good
points, odd rhymes, and irresistibly
comical situations.
FRENCH FLATS"
On Saturday evening next, the New
York success of "French Flats" as
played at the Union Square Theatre,
that city, for more than three months,
will be presented for the first time in
this city. The same company that
presented 1t in New York, will present
it here. The piece is of the comedy
order, and is brimfulo of fun in its broad
est sense. Among the company il
Miss Bessie Turner, of Tilton-B -Beechei
fame.
ANNIE PIxLEY.
This charming little actress will re-
appear here on Monday evening, the
23rd inst, in her beautiful ideal play
of "M'liss, or the Child of the Sierras.' ;
She will be supported by that sterling
actor, John E. McDonough.

A Good Suggestion.
.nIrnR nF rHK GAZKTTR.


Dear Sir In the early part of last
summer, suggested the propriety of
distributing lime to those who were
unable to purchase it, 80 that all back
wards and alleys could be cleansed and
whitewashed. Also, thought it would
be q good thing for the health Of the
city when the cutters are In filthy
condition during warm and dry wealth.
er, to place small quantity of lime in
the cutters, as am satisfied, it would
prevent the nauceous smell from aris-
ing out of the cutters at times, and in
great measure purify the cutters. l
find the following in the report Of the
health officer of the city of Baltimore,
for the year ending December, 1879, in
regard to the use of lime in that city
during warm weather. He says:
Your instructions in reference to the
free use of lime in all lanes, alleys,
cutters, vacant lots, badly paved yards,
and all places where stagnant pools OF
water were TO be found, have been
faithfully carried out, much of the
IA. $50 bushels of lime spread through;
G ut the city during the heated term o.
the paSt summer WAS uibtfiuubou ui'
der my immediate personal supervi-
sion. I am convinced that no other
agent could possibly have been made
use Of at 30 small a cost, with equal
beneficial result to the neighborhood
in which it was used. The extraordi-
nary good health of those living in the
low and fat portions of the city, as
well as those living in the small and
crowded lanes and alleys, fully attest
this fact, and proves, think, conclu
sively, your wisdom in adopting the
rule of thorough lining during the
summer months" l think, Mr.. Editor
If little lime were placed in some o.
the cutters in the 7th Ward, were com
plant has recently been made, it woult
have the desired effect and abate the
nuisance complained of. This matte
of lining during the heated weather i

and the Board of Health.

More shad have been caught in the
Delaware. A Philadelphia paper says:
MARY Upperman, in the Fifth street
market, has had another consignm ,nt OF
shad caught in the Delaware. Ii numbe
cd twenty-two, several Of which were
quite large, one weighing over pound.
The price for Delaware shad Is about
sixty-five cents per pound. The North
Carolina shad are, tor the FIRST time this
season, coming into our market. They
bring fifty cents per pound. 1t IL rather
amusing to see the tOrcibie earnestness
With which the fish dealer who has not
received consignment denies the ap-
pearance of shad in the ID elaware, when
the genuine article lies on the slabs of a
neighboring dealer, who swears with
equal fervor that he has had the verit-
able fish now and then, since December
