An twas Nancy Wilde first spied him, an the story laugh II told. l How she seed a ciak hutterin', an two fists stTikin round. 1 Then two chubby feet kickin, then tumble to the ground.
 "so twas Nancy claimed him, allus, she had neither chick nor child | Notnin' but her name to gin him, so she dubbed him Benny Wilde
 once she'd had siekly baby her charge year or so
 An she took il mighty foolish when she's 'bliged to see it go:
 She would have it that the angels filled her room Carryin' of the siekIy baby when they tux their up'ard flight
 But she rocked the empty cradle jest the same till Benny came, | Then she fondled an she fed him, shieldin him from blow or blame;
 An that boy he was a rouster noisy as circus clown.
 HolIerin, poundin' scamperin' allus, like young No one dared to stop him, laughed the matron no, not they, For l tell you that air Nancy was catamount in her way.
 'she did fight like death fur Benny till he grew stalwart lad. An now, man, I assure you her old heart beats justly glad Do you see that mansion, wonder, with the green park all around?
 There lipes he foundiia that once tumbed from the
 horse-bloek 10 the grouud Jest the way his fists were ilyin on that blusterin
 Christmas day.

Lace Paper.

1 Lace paper is one of those things owe, l which some people can afford to be TO 1 mantle. 1t is tl.e opposite of wrappins paper, at all events. However, here i. l what Belgian paper has to say on the l subject: "Who of us has not admired 1 those fine outlines and wondrous pape, arabesques which cover the smallest box
 of confectionery, and make the contents | hundred times more appetizing? A boquet with it's pretty collar of lace: 8 casket with it's band of guipure, or 8 l fine roast leg mutton with a goffered sleeve. all seem to take on a new charm so true is it that sometimes the man | ner in which an object is presented is better than the present itself There are very few manufacturers of lace paper, and these almost exclusively in France
 and Germany. It dates only within the l8st fifteen years, like so many other
 articles of luxury. Confectioners and pastry cooks make, of course, great use
 of it, but butchers are now putting their
 choicest joints in lace paper. Then hor
 ticulturists, florists and cigar manufac-
 turers employ it. A proof of the exten.
 sion of the manufacture may be formed
 from the fact. that while not more than
 I00000f worth was turned out in Paris
 some thirty years ago, it is now sold to
 the yearly value of from 600,000f. to 700,-
 000f It is exported all over the world
 but principally to North and South
 America. Next in order come England,
 Spain, Italy, Russia, Austra, etc. The
 material is rather costly, and the paper
 has to be specially prepared by rubbing each sheet on both sides with soap pow der, so that they may easily separate
 Eight sheets are put on the matrix, and then the work girl beats with small hammer until the design is cut out
 Thirty blows are necessary to cut ten square centimetres. Efforts have been made to cut the paper with one stroke, but they have been unsuccessful, and the little lead hammers have to be retained
 The little boxes for fruits and terrines, etc, are made, however, by machinery, but only within the last four years, and as they are fifty per cent. cheaper great many of them are sold.

JEANIs'S CHRISTMAS GIFT
ny Fmma Gnrrison Iones.

As Jeanie sat on the old meadow stile, in the radiant splendor of the Sep tember afternoon, she was thinking of a Sabbath morning when her father sat in the cottage door, with the great Bible on his knees, reading the sacred word 10 his family. It had been bright summer morn, and the very scent of the roses and lavender, and the busy hum of the bees, seemed to come back to her.
 It was her fathers custom to require Jeanie and her little sister Dot to repeat verse, when he had finished reading. That morning, Jeanie's verse was, "Inas- much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me-"
 What does that mean, papa2" Jeanie had asked.
 And papa had said
 Why, my dear, it means this If you were to see a poor beggar, sitting by the wayside, and gave him food and drink, or shelter, the great Lord would regard and then, with tears rising in her blue eyes, she glanced over her shoulder in the direction of the village church-yatd, where her father now slept.
 Childhoed's sorrow, however, is short livei She soon dried her tears, and be- gan to jingle the two silver dollars in her pocket Two round silver dollars. Oh, your kindness just the same, as if be- slowed upon himself"
 This was the memory that came back to Jeanie, as she sat on the old stile. She repeated the verse softly to herself; how hard and patiently she had worked for them, picking berries in the hot sun, for the village market.
 When they were earned, and she held them in her little, brown hand, mamma hadksaid:
 "They are yours, Jeanie; you shall do with them as you like. Buy new hat for yourself, or"
 Mamma, no, no, please" Jeanie cried, breaihlessly. "I will do without the |4ast; let me buy the dolly with the eyes go to sleep, and the darling little put her in, for Dot, the dear. On, ' A !, she has wanted them so long"
 ao<hksu Ut as you please, Jeanie, love

MUCH attention has, in recent years been given to tobacco growing in Ja' maica. In the Hamburg market, the most considerable in the world for this product, Jamaica tobacco is said to be thought inferior only to that of Havana, excelling the growth of some parts of Cuba, such as St. Iago and Manzanillo, where tobacco of fine quality, used chiefly for home consumption, is pro duced. The tea plant has also been tried in Jamaica with encouraging re- suits.

THE ENORMOUS increase OF immigla
ton recently from the world at large Il
the United States and especially from
Germs ny is shown by the statistics just
published for the month of May and
eleven months ending with it. The ar
rivals for May alone foot up to one
fifth of the entire immigration for the
whole eleven months. During this
period the immigrants from Germany
number one.tifth Of the whole number,
and they exceed the combined arrivals
from England, Wales, Ireland ami
Scotland by 33,O7S. With the excep-
ton Of Canada the British Isles, they
exceed the arrivals from all other coun-
tries including China by 20,2l4. AT
his rate the GermaniZing of the foreign
population would seem 10 be merely a
natter of time, and as this element is
oroverbially conspicuous for its quiet
lde, industry and good citizenship, tie

to spend two or three weeks at Chester

Large buildings for Worship have been

seating capacity for thousands of per-
sons. 1t is said as many as 1000 peo-
pie have attended some of the services
held there. A good tent and f. can
be secured at very low rates.
Cots and mattresses are for hire.
There is an excellent restaurant Oh the
ground, at which visitors can find ac-
COmmodations: or, if companies come,
they can arrange to cook for th emselves.
The store will supply them with eat
ables, or the farmers who bring heir
farm products for sale. For safety,
pleasure and health, there can be moth

said by the Bureau of Vital Statistics
to be the healthiest locality in the Uni

try TO that would not be so very great,
yet change would do good to many
who do not wish to incur great expense.
Plenty of people board here with cot
fagerS.
We understand that preachers who
como to help during the camp, and who
stay, will be supplied with tents free of
cost. This is very liberal offer. Our
preachers could leave their families
there and supply their work at home,
for it is but one hours ride from vii.
mington, direct by rail, the only change
being at Lamokin. Persons who come
during the Assembly will not be charged
extra for tents during camp-that is to
say, regular camp-meeting rates will
cover both.
Many Delaware. people visit this fa-
nous camp ground. 1t is conducted on
the old Red Lion Camp style. They
get good preachers, have grand meet
ings, and are always at work. 1t will
pay to go to Chester Heights.

motion of Peter Herdic for a special
injunction against VIM. d. Kelley and
the Herdic Personal Transportation

The Judge holds that the affidavits

The President aud His Cabinet,

President Garfield is exceedingly
lucky in the choice of his cabinet. All
reports of intrigues, diSsehsions, and
persona or political disagreements be-
tween the President and the members
are emphatically denied. Mr. Blaine,
that man from Maine" has already
infused new energy and vigorous in
felligence into our diplomatic service.
The recovery in cash of the Fisheries
indemnity, due from the Canadian gov
ernment, affords practical illustration
of what is meant by vigorous foreign
policy. Mr.. Window of the Treasury
department, has by his funding opera
tions saved $14, 900, 900 annually in the
burden Of interest on the war debt.
Mr. James, of the Post-oftice Depart
ment, has by his rigid correction Of the
gross abuses, effected a saving to the
public services of 81 900, 900 a year, and
bids fair to go before Congress at the
ensuing session with a much smaller
deficiency than the department has pre-
Sented to the public since the close of
Inc civil war and Notwithstanding all
That has been said to the contrary, Mr..
kirkwood has introduced reforms into
the Land office which will lead to more
honest dealings with the Indians and
which will stimulate the vigorous pro-
gress of measures for christianizing,
civilizing, educating and domesticating

Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1881-09-15

DEMOCRATS; why is it the Republi,
cans are SO anxious that you should send
one of their number to the Legislature
this winter? Is it because Republi-
can can make better laws than Dem
ocrat, or that Republican can repre-.
sent the people of Henry county at
Columbus any better than Democrat?
Neither the one or the other, but their
chfsf end is to keep in force the present
Congressional jerrymander, which is
the offspring of a Republican Legisla.
ture, and which cheats the Democratic
organization out of at least five Repre-
senatives in Congress. This is why
the Republicans are so anxious that
Tyler should go to Columbus instead
Of Mr.. Hornung. Not because he is
more fit, but in order that Democrats
may still be deprived of their just
1ues.
