"Beer," responded the STRIPPING

The BLOODY tragedies of Delaware
are not exclusively confined to Black
bird Hundred, or to give wider mar
gin to New Castle County. Kent County
turns up with bloody shooting affair
equalled only in atrocity and delib-
crate intent to kill by the shooting Of
the little colored girl in Blackbird
Hundred on tho Fourth of July, and
by the deliberate killing of the colored
man Adams at the Old Ferry Rolling
mills. In the case of the Kent County
bloody affair the would-be murderer
himself, by his own hand, is likely to
pay the forfeit of his life, which if he
lives, will be prolonged upon a plea Of
insanity. These farm boundary lines
lead to some terrible ira Iedies.

Railway TO Riverviov Cemetery

A0As" ~ ~ "AVoHSAOW SotncsoHy'
The proposition made by the Will
mington City Railway Company to the
residents along Market street from
Tenth street to the limits of the city
near Riverview Cemetery, is one we'll
worthy of favorable consideration by
the citizens. At the rate at which i'm
provements have been progressing late.
ly there can be no doubt that the new
line would be placed on paying basis
as soon as constructed. Besides this
the subscribers to the stock would not
only have the benefit Of increased value
for their property, but they would be
entitled from the start to share Of the
dividends arising from the Profits of
the original line of the Wilmington
City Railway which is on a paying ba-
sis. The cost of the Ninth Ward ex-
tension is about $l3,0 200 Of which $4,000
is understood to have been for some
time past, more than year already
subscribed without even the induce
ments now offered. The opp ,rtunity Of
becoming stockholders in q company
already on = paying basis, and which
gives fair promise Of paying large divi-
dendsin the near future, should he suf-
ficient to insure the speedy subscription
of the additional $4,000 needed to make
the enterprise complete success. We
hope the citizens along the proposed
new extension line and those
not residing on the line but holding
prosperity thereon, will Immediately y
move in this matter and make up the
little deficiency needed, and then even
before the heat Of next simmer, the
road will be completed, and our citi-
zens who visit Riverview cemetery in
suoh large numbers, in,tead Of having
to trudge through the dust OF summer
and snow and mud Of winter, can ride
nearly up to the gate in comfortable
street cars.

rhe rluns - get Assessed.


Tho change made BY the last Legisla-
ture of the time for holding the city
election, makes IL necessary for persons
who are not assessed and who desire to
vote at the city election In June next
for Mayor, City Treasurer, Council and
ward officers 10 get assessed at least
three months sooner than has been GUS
tomary heretofore. The election laws
require that , voter must be assessed
six msnths before the election 10 be
hold to entitle him to vote. Tho cleo
tion will be held on the frat Saturday Of
June next year, which will be tho sixth
day of the month. From the Arst
of December to the first of Juno is six
months, and those who are assessed af-
ter the first of the coming December
cannot vote for Mayor and other city
officers next June. What IL left Of o.
tober and the whole of November 10 yet
left In which to get assessed In time to
vote next June The assessors are
David Hughes. residing on Chestnu Mt
street above Adams, for the South Dis
trict Of the city, and Thomas w.
Saville, residing on French street above
Eighth, for the Northern District.
These gentlemen are required by
BY law to assess al who make spplica-
tion to them to be assessed. This not
being the general assessment year the
assessors may not 60 from house to
house to ASSESS property and persons,
but they will assess all who have since
the last assessment removed to the city,
or who may have been previously
neglected. The probability however is
that the assessor will make . partial
canvass of the city, but voters who
want to be assessed should not wait for
this. The surest plan is to hunt them
up and get assessed early and then the
work Is sure to be done. We are in.
formed by Mr.. Saville, assessor Of the
Northern District, that he will open an
office in q few days in some central 10
cation, where he can be found in tho
evenings without loss Of time to work
ingmen, due notice of which time and
place will be given in the REPUBLICAN.
We have no doubt Mr.. Hughes, Of the
Southern District, will do the same
thing, though his ONCE may be at his
house on Chestnut steeet. The surest
plan however for those vino are not as
sessed is to call upon the assessors i'm.
and have their names regis.
tered, and then the work will be dsne,
and We will say again to voters not as.
sessed, that they must attend to this
duty before the first Of December, if
they want to vote At the city election on
The first Saturday of June.

Fun young men, clerks and students,
while on o summer vacation tramp
through Northern New England, engae-
ed for guide to certain romantic forest
waterfall, q boy named Forrest Graves.
Forrest was a fine, athletic FELLOW, who
could outwalk and out climb any anna
teur in the mountains, and his moral
courage was quite equal to his physical
health and strength.
After he had guided the young men to
the waterfall, and they had satisfied them
selves with sightseeing, they invited him
to lunch with them.
"Ihank you, have my own lunch -
and the boy went away by himself.

to their repast, and flask of brandy had
furnished each of the young men with q
stimulating draught, Graves was called

"But / shull insist upon it,"
"You can do as you please, and shall

with bound stood beside the bow. too

of another.

"Y0u can't rule me-"
These words were scarcely uttered
when the flask was seized and hurled
into stream, where the cinking OF glass
betrayed It's utter destruction. Then G

A ABEAUTIFULSENTI The follow
ing may have been in print before, but it
is nevertheless beautiful and worthy of
reproduction
A man without some sort of religion is,
at best, poor reprobate. the football of
destiny; with no tie linking him to in
finity, and to the wonderous eternity that
is within him but woman without it
Is even wOrse-a fame without heat, a
rainbow without color, flower without
perfume.
A man may in some sort tie his frail
hopes and hours with weak, shifting, proud
tackle, to his business of the world; but
q woman without that anchor which they
call faith is drift and o wreck. A man
may clumsily continue kind of respon.
sibility or motive, but can find no basis
in any other system Of right action than
that of spiritual faith. A man may craze
his thoughts and his brains to such heri.
tage rs fame and reputation may stretch
before him but n woman--where can abe
put her hope in storms, if not in heaven I?
And that sweet ttruthfulness-that abid-
ing love, that endearing hope, mellow
ing every scene of life, lighting them with
the pleasant radiance; when the Eorld's
cold storms break like an army with
smoking cannon--what cGn bestow it all

Weary Women.

Nothing is more reprehensible aud
thoroughly wrong than the idea that q
woman fulfls her duty by doing en-
amount Of work that is far beyond her
strength. She not only does not fulfil her
duty, but she most signally fails in IL, and
the failure is truly deplorable. There
can be no sadder sight than that of a
broken down, over worked wife and
mother--a woman who il tired all of her
life through. If the work of the house.
hold cannot be accomplis.d by order,
system and moderate work, without the
necessity Of wearying, heart. breaking toll
toll TINT is never ended and never be.
gun, without making life treadmill
OF labor, then for the sake of humanity
let the work go. Better to live in the
midst Of disorder than that order should
be purchased at so high price-the cost
of health, strength, happiness, all that
makes existence cndurable.
The woman that spends her life in un-
necessary labor is, by this very labor,
unified for tho highest duties. She
should be the haven Of rest to which both
husband aud children turn for peace and
refreshment. She should be tile careful,
intelligent adviser and guide of the one,
the tender confidant and helpmate OF the
other. How is it possible for woman
exhausted in body, rs natural conse.
quence in mind also, to perform
either oftheso Offices? No. it is not i'm
possible. The constant strain is too great.
nature gives way to it. She loses health
and spirits aud hopefulness, and more
than all, her youth, the last thing q wo-
man should allow to slip from her !;
for, no matter how old she il in years,
she should be young in heart and feeling,
for tho youth Of age is sometimes more
attractive than youth itself.
10 the overworked woman this green
old age is out of the question; old age
comes on her, sero and yellow, before it's
time. Her disposition is ruined, her
temper is soured, her very nature is
changed by the burden which, too heavy
to carry, is dragged about as long rs
weRried feet and tired hands can do their
part Even her affections are blunted,
and she becomes merely q machine-a
woman without the time to be womanly,
mother without the time to train and
guide her children as only mother can,
wife without the time to sympathize
with and cheer her husband, a woman go
over worked during the day that when
night comes her sole thought and most
intense longing is for the rest and sleep
that very probably will not come; but
even if it should, that she is too tired to
enjoy. Better by far let everything 20
unfinished to live rs best she can, than to
entail on herself md family the curse Of
overwork.-Tne Housekeeper.
