~ think General Hancock q strong

full confidence in him. His military
and civic record are without blemiah.
II remember rightly in 1868 he was a
candidate when Seymour was nOmina-

mandate, Order No. 40 had been
written at New Orleans. The Delaware
delegation at that time voted solidly
for General Hancock. My father was
one Of the delegates and supported him
strongly. Therefore you see he is
something Of o chosen man in Della

give him very earnest support"

TEE PgBLrNG IN WILMINGTON.

WILMINGTON was as fat as a pan CAKE
last night. There was no enthusiasm
over the work Of the Cincinnati Con.
ventiop-no fireworks, no red Rre, nc
parade, no music by the band. The
Democracy seemed utterly heart bro
ken and respondent, and not genuine
smile was to be seen upon the face OF
any of the party members. Some OF
them took it philosophicslly and said
little reverses had to be met with now
and then. Others said they did not
feel like being Democrats any longer,
but possibly they might get enthused
after awhile. But some looked things
fairly in the face-ssid they didn't
care who was nominated, even Grant,
and that they were ready to cheer for
Hancock although he was one of the
members Of the military rule"
At the headquarters Of the Jefer-

Another Story of Lincoln.

General McC lernand and Commodore
Kountz, of Pittsburg, during the war
originated a Missouri campaign. The
after went to Washington and enlisted
Secretary Stanton in his favor. The
trio waited on Lincoln, and Stanton ex-
planned the project and named Nc
Clernand to lead the troops. "But,"
said MIR. Lincoln, II hate to put Nc
Clernand over Grant; Grant is doing

ton, ''but to carry out this programme
we must have a dashing man." With
his usual merry eye twinkle Lincoln re-
piled: 20, if you want a dashing man

into Washington, you know, with not a
man behind him, and when no man in
Washington had the least curiosity to
see him." -.

B1OWlOck'S Misfortune.
Little Rock Gazette.

Virtue does dot always receive it's re-
ward. Virtue il sometimes punished
while vice is lauded. Mr.. Blowlock has
Just met with misfortune which teaches
him how disastrous pious efforts can
sometimes be. Some time ago he was
elected superintendent of a Sunday
school in this city. This gave a rap-
tuous pulsation to the young mans
heart. Hew he had longcd for such
distinction. He had been religious all
his life and now the gilded gate to the
flower garden of regard was swinging
open. There were SO many beautiful
girls in his Sunday school and SO many
complimentary mothers that his posi-
ton was indeed enviable. The next
Sunday after election he arose early and
began arranging his toilet. Blowlock
was a proud young man, and when he
surveyed himself arrayed in his new
clothes he softly chanted song. On
his way he met three boys. They were
ugly children. They were freckled and
had on dirty clothes. Just as he met
them one Of them remarked:
"Iook at the stiff"
"Boys,'' said the superintendent, II
am going to Sundey school and if you
will accompany me I'll make all three
OF you a present.
"Yank the string" said another boy.
'Don't talk that way; come here and
let me talk to you seriously.'
The boys were led a short distance
into an alley, and the superintendent,
grouping them said:
''You all have mothers?''
"You bet your Kentucky life"
"And should honor them. Now, what
| want you to do is to come with me to
The party had been standing under
the window of a dye factory. A red
face man came to the window and
emptied tub Of a blue looking stuff on
the superintendent. The white vest,
the lavender pants, the magnificent coat
it was too much. The young man
took off his hat, looked up and Vailed;
II can whip the thing that poured this
devil broth on me. Just come out of
there and Til pulverize the earth with
YOU"
A smooty looking man ran down
stairs into the alley, and when the fight
had begun a policeman arrested both
parties. As they we're going to the
lookup the good looking girls, the COM
plimentary mothers, the deacons and
the ministers passed. Next day after
Blowlock had paid his fine,a note which
read as follows, was handed him:
"Dear Sir-It is not becoming in a
Sunday school superintendent to engage
in street fights. You are, therefore, re-
moved from that position, and will
please not appear at our church again. !"

Far from the quarrel for supper-room chairs
Soft come the strains of the music enhancing.

A NEW MEASURING IMPLEMENT.--A
remarkable implement was lately de-
scribed before the "Societe d'Encour-
agement pour r!ndustrie Rationale"
II is called PHOTOGRAPH, becarse when
in use it mechanically traces on paper
the outlines of the ground over which
it travels. A foreign contemporary de-
scribes it as q small carriage mounted
on two wheels, drawn by one man, and
attended by another who marks the
levels of the proper places, and under
meath hangs an iron rod with large
ball at its lower end serving as pen
dulum. This pendulum maintains
constant vertical position. while the
machine inclines in one direction or the
other, according as it ascends or de-
sends slope. To the upper end of
the rod is fitted a pencil, which marks
on a sheet of paper the ups and downs
OF the country traverscd, whether on
an ordinary road or across trackless
fields. The exact profile is thus re-
corded to given scale. At the same
time ore of the wheels acting as
chain-bearer measures and indicates
the distance travelled throughout the
survey.

Newspaper Reporting In San Francisco.

One great objection to the Palace

which prevent newspaper reporters
from concealing themselves comfortably
underneath. The other morning a
Chronicle reporter and one from this
