THE HOME

Itis not doubted that men have . home In that
place where each one has established his hearth end
the sum OF his possessions and fortunes; whence he
will not Depart If nothing calls him away whence II
ha has departed he seems to be wanderer and II he
returns ne ceases to wander.-Denniton from Oivll
Law.

The bird IL safest in its nest;

A Mistaken Application.

Never get out of temper with barber.
A gentleman not long since was sitting in a
BARRIERS chair trying to read the morning pa
per while having his hair cut. The barber in
the meantime was worrying him with the
recital of long story about the BARRIERS boy
and the shoemaker's daughter at the last
Saturday nights ball, story which was
strung out until forbearance ceased to be
virtuous, when the man being clipped looked
up somewhat annoyed and exclaimed i'm
patiently: 40, cut it short" The barber did
cut it short. When that man left the chair
he was as bald as a newborn baby.

Up the Hill.

4 SONG FOR THE CLIMBERS.
Step by step we climb the hill,
In the early hours of day,
Feeling heart and pulses thrill
As we seek the upward way.
Clearer vision shall be ours,
Purer air and wider view,
As we climb JhrO' thOrDs and hOWer5
Nearer to the upper blue.
Patient labor scales the HEIGHT;
He who hopes to win the prize
Does not keep the vale in sight,
But looks upward to the skies.
From the vale of slOth and dreams,
limb with ste adfast heart and true
Day by day the summit CLEANS
BeacOn-llke the distance through.
We must earn the prize we seek;
Those who pause with folded hands
Wishing, while the will Is weak,
TarIy in the lower lands.
Those alone who work and climb,
Gain the prize and win the rest
Coming In the later time
On the conquered mountain 5 crest

THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE is not
valued so highly as it should be. 1t
has been so free as to make il of little
account to- vast numbers Of persons
who would prefer to sacrifice ii rather
than give themselves an hours con-
cern to make its use secure TO them
selves. And no people have given
themselves so little concern about il as
the colored men upon whom it has
been bestowed in Delaware. They
feel quite as safe without availing
themselves Of the high privilege as
they do when they exercise the right.
Inthis they have shown the greatest
confidence in the Democratic party.
and its managers. And there is in
deedno reason why they should not
entertain this confidence. For that
party is the one most likely at all
times TO give them the most liberty.

been the characteristic of that party
since its earliest history. jefferson
was accounted one of the greatest
friends of free suffrage. and declared
that the more frequently suffrage was
exercised the closer would men adhere
to dut! and the respects for official
duty and obligation. Hence jefferson
was strong advocate for annual cleo
tions holding that the sooner bad
officer was got nd Of the better and
that it was competent at all times for
the voter to retain the services Of the
most competent and efficient through
the exercise Of a choice at the polls.
The colored voter could not do better
than to repose confidence in his
Democratic neighbor who Is always
competent to give him the best ad-

Mn. EDISON is increasingly confident
concerning the success of his new light,
which is proper enough, but his man.
ner of assertion is open to some OBJ
lection. Before he has fairly settled
) the scientific value of his discovery he
q iscencerned in business speculation
upon its value, and his position by
that much loses the impartiality of the
student. People are thinking less of
him as q scientist than as business
man. and while there is no reason why
q man of science should not be a man
of business, it is not assuring to see
the two things mixed in their present
fashion at Menlo Park when the two
facts are known,-that the triumph of
the electric light means the destruc-
ton of vast sums of invested money,
and that the inventor is backed by
capitalists who are anxious for his sue
cess not because of any interest in
scientific research but because such
success would send their shares up and
-dspress the steek of the gas compa-
nies. To a reporter of the Record Mr..
Edison said recently My expert
ments have been crowned with perfect
success, and the commercial value of
the electric light for Illuminating eth
er streets or dwellings is established
beyond question" Now, as far as the
public knows, this success has not
been achieved, and TO make the mere
assertion, unaccompanied by proof,
can only serve to place the inventor in
a false and compromising position.-
He has shown too much of such ten
dency in all he has done,

A Fiendish Outrage.

\ correspondent Of the Alexandria
Gd3ette, writing from Hewleti's. II an
over county, says: As some gentle
men, strangers IN our county. were
riding along the main road. a few
miles from tins place. they heard the
screams and walls Of some one az a
distance in the woods. They hasten
ed thither, and found a white boy 70
or Il years Of age, stripped naked and
bound % tree, and a brutal negro
Trailing him most numerically with a
hickory rock. The boy was from a
. distant neighborhood. and was living
with and working for a Centlern mar
near by. He was far from home and
friends, and in doing something dis
pleasing to the negro, was, by lin.
subjected to this cruel outrage, The
gentlemen ordered him to release the
boy Immediately. This he refused Il
Go, until one Of them presented pis.
tol. and threatened to shoot him Il he
delayed another minute. He Then
obeyed. and the poor little fellow. thus
cruelty lacerated. Immediately return,
ed to his home. These facts | receiv.
ed from one Of our most intellicentand
reliable citizens. who lives near the
place where the outrage occurred.

EDITOR OF THE GAzETTE.-Deay
Sir 81 was surprised. 10 learn late last
evening that the great Fraimer of the
Republican party still survived, after his
effort on the 10th, which he says is his
last, and he begs the editors pardon for
his past Fraimwork, he is excused TO
doubt. The Trainer has an IL ca that
his productions are for the pnblic's good,
hencelhA signs himself pro bono pub
iic0. When he went junketing over New
Castle county soliciting recommends
tions from all he knew regardless of par
ty, he used the same words, pro bono
pubiico, IL 10 for the public GOOD 10 make

pro bono pubiico again. l, the extra M
er, should be Clerk Of the City Council.
IL is lor the public good. His Fraim-
work was entirely destroyed at the Sep.
tember election so much so that it was
expected the great Fraimer would leave
Delaware. But not so; he sgain comes

citations, aud propose this PLAN as the
best to meet his case. On the 25th of
this month there will be vacancy in
Wilmington; q Justice OF the Peace will
be to appoint. am satisfied that If H.
once great Fraimer was appointed 10 the
position the people would say wi b one
voice, pro bono publico. think the
Governor could be induced TO make the
appointment when 1t is for the public
good. He then would have a chance 10
explain all about the statutes he talks
about, and We would learn from whence
they came. think he refers to the Old |
Testament Statutes. He was surprised |
that the editor of the GAZETTE was so |
ignorant in regard 10 the Statues. He, |
no doubt. is quite familiar with the old |
Testament and not much with the new. |
advise him TO read the new Testament |
aud he will be surprised 10 find that |
men with so mnch learning as he has |
are termed fools. In his letter Of the |
10th he states he was acquainted with |
old Bedlam and his carrier. In conver
sation with the old man be asked the |
great Trainer to guess this riddle:
In times OF old the bible doth record,
There lived one, who never did offend
the Lord,
The truth he told. nor sin did he commit,
Yet In Christ's kingdom he shall never
SIT
Now you will be surprised to see how
spt he was. He answered in this way:

things that has hong ears. Let the ball
start for the Trainer as Justice Of the
Peace and thu echo will be pro bono
