A. MUSICAL Box.

She's perfect to whirl with in a waltz;
And her shoulders show well ON q soft divan,
As she lounges at night and spreads her silks,
And plays with her bracelets and fIirts her fan.
Her duty this christian never omits!
She makes her calls and she leaves her cards,
And enchants circle of half fedged wits
And slim attaches and six foot guards
rs this the thing for mother or wife!
Could love ever grow on such barren rocks
Is this con- panion to take for a wife!
One might as well marry a musical box.
You exhaust in day her full extent;
'Tis the same little tinke of tunes always
You must wind her up with a compliment,
10 be bored with the only airs she plays.

ToILET-Neck dressing is very important
feature of the toilet, and helps greatly to
give it character. No matter how elegent or
how perfect the rest of the costume, if the
neck is not properly and tastefuly dressed
the general effect is spoiled, and often in such
3 manner as to make the wearer look even
dowdy. The large collars arc the most simple
means of effecting this object for those who
are so fortunate as to be slender enough to
wear them-for stout people cannot, or
should not. The most artistic of these col
lars are embroidered upon German linen and
edged with linen lace three inches i'm depth.
These are for morning wear at home or when
staying at country house. The form is
simple, round and deep, with straight sides,
and narrow upright band at the throat,
which is embroidered also and edged with
narrow lace. The handkerchiefs with deep
double lace rutfles and jabot finish in front
are used as much as ever Ladies find them
great convenience in dressing up plain silk
and satin dresses. The fashionable lace used
in trimming them is the fine imitation Mach
lin, the best imitation of real lace that has
ever been made. except the new invention,
which Is said to perfectly reproduce the bob
bin handmade lace, the product of which has
not yet appeared in the market. Linen cuffs
(inside) have disappeared, and there are out
side cuffs, but there is little demand for them.
The narrow standing collars still used for
walking dresses are straight or slightly round
ed bands attached to yoke, the upright cor
ners held together with gold stud or button.
High dresses are cut a trife lower now than
formerly and the band at the throat is often
omitted. This is particularly the case with
indoor dresses, which are then finished with
fall of white lace put on full and turned
over, one end forming jabot in front.

HEADED orr AaAIN.-It is now
said that Jay Gould has made an ar
rangemept with the new board OF di-
rsctors of the Reading Railroad Com
pany and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company whereby the latter road will
control the Bound Brook and New
Jersey Central roads from Philadel-
phia to New York, thus heading OH
the Baltimore and Ohio road again.
This makes the monopoly more COM
plete than ever. But it may be that
it Is part of Jay Gould's system by
which he means to reduce the fares
and make the telegraphing charges
less. We hope that no attempt will
be made to enforce the heavy charges
of The future in Delaware, and do not
believe there will be any. In fact we
believe the Pennsylvania road will be
more liberal than our people expect.

THE LEaIsLATURE.-The Delaware
LEGISLATURE adjourned on Saturday,
and every one feels a relief 1t mas
been one of the most tedious and
prosy sessions that we have any remem
brance of. In its progress with the
work with which it has been entrusted
it has been very tortoise. But it has
at last reached it's end, safely we think,
and in the main satisfactory. Vi this,
however, we shall be better informed
hereafter, when we have more time 70
look over its work.
The real incompetency of some oi
the members is not apparent TO tne
public. The members it seems have
not been able, with very few excsp-
tions to draw a bill, and consequently
had to wait until they could get men
70 do it, or until the applicants for
legislation presented the bills already
drawn. Even then they had to be
passed through the hands of gentle
men outside their committees for ex-
animation. We do not see that the
Republican delegation from this coun-
ty are entitled to much consideration
they we're mainly obstructionists-
and rendered very little aid to secure
legislation for their own county. Al
though This city was represented by
two men, competent as we suppose
they did little towards getting the
Legislative business done in a satlsfac-
tory way. So far as this city was
concerned they made the work far
more difficult and costly than If they
had not been there. So that If the
Council has been called on to pay Dill
for counsel and the attendance OF it'
committees at Dover 10 get the reces-
sary legislation done for conducting
the city government ttese expenses
will be justly chargeable to the indit-
ference and incapacity Of the Repu0ll
can members of the House from th
county, or their political hostility ant
q determination to embarrass th
Democratic members and prsveu
their doing anything Satisfac ory fc
or people. So far as the GAzETT
aud it's readers are concerned the az
journmsut is great relief. Dilatol
and unsatisfactory as the work mi
have been We have presented cor
plete and copious reports of all
acts as it progressed to the end, al
our readers are no doubt tired of SUI
prosy reading.

DIR. CRosBY's VIEW OF TOTAL AB-
srINEScE-lt Is long since any public
utterance on the subjecJ Of temperance
has made more stir in this country than
was caused by DIR. Crosby's lecture de-
livered in Boston some months ago.
The New York Sun says:
We have waited to see how the ad-
vocates of total abstinence and Statuary
prohibition would reply to him, and
there would certainly been no lack Of
more or less rational and veheme4t ef-
forts to that end. BIT looking back
over the whole controversy, we cannot
see that his assailants have succeeded In
shaking DIR. Crosby's main positio 8.
DIR. Crosby states with force another
reason why the plan Of total abstinence
i propaganda has often been singularly
unlucky in its advocates, and that It 10
too frequently ehargeabie with vio-
lence OF language that can admit Of ne
excuse. DR.. Crosby shows how it con-
lounds all ideas of night and wrong by
c4Iumniously declaring the man wht
drinks wiae moderately to be ~ bad
uay worse than the drnnkard by a.

TIE Philadelphia papers are very
deeply affected by the passage OF the
Pilot law by the Delaware Legislature.
Surely they do not want to deprive
Little Delaware OF its rights over its
lands and rivers. We see no way in
which the difficulty can be settled.
If they are prepared to use their peo-
pie to set our laws at defiance, it will
only be done because of our weakness
in point of numbers.
