a Pleasant Occasion.

One Of the most pleasant occasions that
has occurred in Wilmington for some time,
took place at the residence of Mr. Joseph +.
Adams, 701 French street, Tuesday evening.
For number of years past it has been the
custom of the firEl of Adams 4 Brother TO
give their employees a supper few days
after Christmas. This is done on account
of their store being kept open during the
forenoon of Christmas, thereby taking part
of the day off the clerks.
The party that assembled in the evening
was happy one, there being about sixty in
all, thirty of whom were clerks that are
engaged in the store. Another feature of
the occasions are the handsome decorations
which attract persons from all parts of the
CITY. The decorations for this season are

publishers expect to complete
the entire work within the year,
as announced. The volumes thus
far issued being only the reprint
of the last edition of the WE'LL
known Chambers's Encyclopa-
dia, nothing more need be said
of them than that they are well
printed and bound; their form is
vastly more convenient than the
usual unwieldy quarto Or octave,
and their price is cheap beyond
all precedent in book-making, so
that to the uninitiated it is a
how so much can be
given for a little money, but to
the practical printer and book
who knows how the great
est element in modifying the
cost of books is the number of
buyers among whom the invest
ment cost is to be distributed, |
the wonder would be not that
the books can be made for the
price, but that the number of |
buyers should be counted except
by millions. Those who take
pleasure in the dissemination of
useful knowledge and choice lit
erature will be glad to influence
an enterprise so altogether wor-
thy. The publishers will send
descriptive catalogues, to those
who may apply.

Suits Against Cooperative Life
Insurance Organizations.

ST.. Louis, Jan. pa point
ofintercst to Life InsuranceCom-
panies everywhere is to be deci-
ded by the Supreme Court Of
this State, Mr.. Role, the State
Insurance Superintendent, hav-
ing announced his intention of
instituting proceedings against
the Masonic Mutual Benefit As
sociation of Missouri; the Mer-
chants Exchange Benevolent
Association of st. Louis; and a
Temperance Mutual Benefit Or
ganization of st. Joseph, Mo-,
with the object of compelling
those Societies to comply with
the Insurance Laws of the State.
These are TO be test cases, and
the result will determine whether
cooperative life insurance can be
carried on in Missouri. There
are many of these cooperative
companies in the State, and the
business Of the regular compa-
Mics is almost ruined. None of
these Societies have any reserved
capital, and none Of them pay
any taxes. They are supposed
TO be organized and maintained
for charitable purposes alone.
One of the requirements of the
State insurance law is that all
life companies shall make a de-
post Of 100000 as a guaranty
Of good faith and faithful perfor-
nance of their duty, No one
of the many cooperative compa-
mics could do this, and to be res
quired TO do so would crush them
ont of existence.

Map Of Tennessee.

Col. j .B. KiIlcbrcw's new map
Of Tennessee is, without doubt,
the most complete and compre-
hensive ever made. Ii is exact
and reliable in all of its details,
and in addition to such informal
ton as is usually obtained from
other maps it contains a vast deal
of miscellaneous information
which will make it invaluable as
a source Of reference. 1t shows
postoffices, telegraph stations,
money order offices, depots, rail-
road stations and express offices
-designates the different depos-
its of coal, iron, copper, lead, zinc
and all known minerals found
in the State. in addition to
all these, says the Nashville
Banner, there is a synopsis Of
the soils, population, farming ca
liabilities, and in short n concise
account and description of the
resources and peculiarities of the
State are added in the way of
marginal notes. The taxable
value of the property, both real
and personal, of the State, the
value, length, &c, ofsthe rail-
roads, the lines of railroads, and
the projected roads, together with
the county roads both public and
private, the mineral springs and
the manufacturingestablishments
of the State are all delineatcd.
In this way the commissioner
presents to the people all in one,
a geographic, geologic, typo
graphic, railroad, geodetic and
economic map Of the State. Ev-
erything desirable to be known
by the historian, journalist, teach
er, manufacturer, miner, OF tray
eler, is here to be found, and
through the addition of tape
index found most easily. A tape
with the letters Of the alphabet
printed on it hangs from the cen
ter and the margin is surrounded
by as many numbers as there
are villages or towns in the State.
Each town or village also has a
letter opposite it. To find a place
put the tape on the number Of
the town and under the letter
that is under the tape will be
found the town. This is almost
ingenious contrivance and ena-
bles person to find in a moment
any place without a half hour S
search. 1t is a great thing for
the people Of the State, and we
hope no one will be without it.
On the reverse side is a new
and accurate map of the United
States and Canada. This is a
new feature and will be great
convenience, as any one will find
out directly by using it. 1t is
printed on good, strong, tough
paper, finely vanished and beau
tifnlly colorcd, the counties lined
by different colors, bright, fresh
and attractive.
Col. Killebrew wishes to Sc
cure an agent to canvass every
county Of the State.

ANOTHER DANGER
Threatening the Unfortunate City
of NashVille--The Peabody School.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, January
22.-Nashville just now is
threatened with one of the seri-
Gus results Of the sentiment
which has sent such low-tax or
reputation Legislatures as the
last one to regulate the States
financial affairs. Soon after the
war the Normal School, provid-
ed for in the Peabody bequest,
was established here in the old
University building. The IN
stitution has been growing in
prominence and influence, the
number of pupils yearly increas-
ing, until now the section of the
school buildings allotted 10 il
are too small. No appropria-
ton has been made by the State
for the School, and until recent
ly, when a few citizens became
alarmed at the prospect of losing
it, no effort has been made to
retain so valuable an acquisi-
ton. Georgia is working earn
estly to have it moved TO that
State, offering money, land and
houses.
Severe condemnation is fall
ing on the State Legislature.
The State has been drawing o.
YER $4,000 annually from the
Peabody Fund. OF this fund
more than 100000 is in Ten
nessee bonds, on which not a
cent Of interest has been paid, |
the Legislature refusing repeat
eddy to make provision for it.
The manager, viewing this state
Of affairs, expresses himself as
rather disposed to remove the
school from a State that virtu-
ally repudiates such debt.
The Institution brings thousands
Of dollars to the city, and its re-
noval will be a most serious
oss. Efforts arc making to ar
'est it.

The Pension business is soon
to be investigated, and a commit
tee of seven has been appointed
by the House to give the Pension
Bureau an oyerhauling. The
appointment of this committee
was opposed by the Republicans.
From this opposition may be in
ferred the fact that by ways that
are dark the lavish expenditure
of pension money has in some
way or other benefited the Re-
publican party. In our judg-
ment thousands of votes have
been boughtwith illegally pensions,
and these pensions in many ca
ses are only brides, and that vo-
ting the Republican ticket is the
consideration for the continue
ton Of these pensions.

A Sinking Town.

louisville, Penn, Jan. 81
For the third time within a short
period the citizens of the mining
village of Mahoney Plane are
terribly excited over the fact that
their property is gradually sink
ing into the coal mine which I'M
derlies the town. About one o.
clock to-day the suface earth be-
gan TO crack, and in a short time
a plot of ground sank to the bot
tom of the mine. The greatest
anxiety exists among the people,
many declaring their intention to
move away from the danger as
soon as they can engage other
employment, as the whole village
is liable to be buried out of
sight At any time.

Washington Letter.


Special Correspondence Of The OpsERvER
WASHINGTON, d. c., January %, 1880.
1t is said the movement to
have the Democratic Presiden-
fial Convention held in this city,
is part of the programme of
those Democrats who favor the
nomination of Governor Sey-
mour. The balance of the pro-
gramme, as stated, is either to
cali the Convention early, so as
TO have the nomination before
the time proposed for the adj
iournment OF Congress = the
month of Mayor to prolong
the session, so that, in any event,
the influence of Congress, be-
lieyed to be favorable to Gov.
Seymour, may be brought TO
bear on the Convention.
Yorktown will have a monu-
ment TO commemorate the clos
ing great struggle of the rcvolu-
tionarv war. The House Spe-
cial Committee ON the Yorktown
celebration yesterday directed
the proposition of a bill appro-
printing 100000 for the purpose,
and there will be little objection
90 the bill in the House or SEN
ate. The proposal that the sur
render of CORVALLIS should be
celebrated next year, and that
the Government should partici-
pate, has received commentator
from all parts of the country.
a private dispatch frcm Maine
saws that the Fusionists in that
State will seek a settlement in
the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, OF the question as to
the legality of their Legislature,
&c. This they hope TO accom-
plish by the submission to the
State Court Of a case concerning
the bonds of the State, many of
which are held by citizens Of
other States. 1t is probably the
best course that could be adopt
cd. The only trouble connected
with it is the delay which inter-
csted parties may cause in the fl
nal consideration of the matter.
1t is also proposed TO ask the
Senate Of the u. :. to investi-
gate Senator Blaine's alleged
connection with the attempted
bribery of two or three Fusion
Representatives in the Maine
Legislature. This latter propo-
sifion is an absurdity. Senator
Blaine is a politician and proba-
bly, believes in all the means COM
monty employed in carrying i'm
portant elections, but he is a very
able man, and had absolute COM
mand of the Republican cause
and the Republican workers in
the last campaign, and is perhaps
The last man in the United States
to be caught in so open a trans
action as the bribery alleged.
Our Fusion friends in Maine will
do we'll to confine themselves in
bringing their cause TO the at
tention of the people of the coun-
try to its legal aspects. There |
think they are strong. In Il per-
sonal fight of the kind proposed
against Blaine they will be weak.
Senator Thurman said last
night that yesterdays financial
speech by Senator Beck, in oppo-
sition to Bayard's resolution, was
