THE "VoYAGE IN THE SUNBEAM
Few recent books of travel have had
a wider or better deserved popularity
than Lady Brassey's Voyage in the
Sunbeam" Everybody read it and
everybody was delighted with the
spirited and unaffected style in which
the details Of the adventurous cruise
round the world were recorded from
day to day by the lady who presided
on board S.rThomas Brassey's yacht.
By a happy thought of the publish
er's or the authors, for the execution
of which both alike deserve praise,
this delightful journal has now been
repubIished at a price which puts it
we'll within the reach of the working
classes, in whose welfare the owner
of the Sunbeam is we'll known to be
greatly interested. Those who have
crossed the Atlantic or travelled much
upon the Continent are familiar with
the cheap pamphlet form in which
piratical American publishers repro
duce the works of English novelists.
But the cd. edition of Lady Brassey's
book puts those publications to shame.
In size and general appearance it is
not unlike them; but although the
price IS lower, thetypography is great
Iy superior. The print is wonderfully
clear, and neither too small nor too
close. But the great feature is the
illustrations. The woodcuts of the
original edition, to the number of
about so, are reproduced with the
happiest effect. II e pages teem
with them. Views of picturesque or
outIandish places, portraits of mem
bers of the cruising party, represent
tations of unfamiliar creatures, OF
foreign customs and costumes, of
humorous or exciting incidents of the
voyage are placed before the reader
in quick succession by the pencil of
the friendly artist who'accompanied
the expedition, and the result is a
publication which, for excellence,
attractivencss, and cheapness com
bined, is perhaps without parallel in
this country.-Times.

FRESH GAME FROM AUsTRAL1A.-On

several wild turkeys, and some boxes

Aat-heads, schappes, guard-fsh, whit
ing, Jewish, ~sea7mullet, and Dream.
It all arrived perfectly fresh, though
in a frozen state, having been kept
in refrigsratqrs throughout the jour-
ney from the colony.:--Ibid.

Democratic Economy.

The Democratic tax record is one
which the party can afford to inscribe on
its banners. The tax basis is lower than
it was when the Democrats came into
power. The State tax rate, in spite OF
that has been reduced from 80 to 49, cts.
on the 800. The State debt has been re-
duced from $13,649.796 in 1868 to $11,-
277,110 in 1880, difference in favor OF
the State of S2,372,6S5, or II per cent.
Besides, in addition to ordinary expenses
the State has paid SS,000,000 for the
bounty legacy left by the Republican re-
gime, 100000 for the erection OF the State
Lunatic Asylum, $250,O0O for building the
House of Correction, S15O,OOO for the State
Normal School.
Look at this great reduction of the pub
lie debt; this large amount expended for
internal improvements, and, withal, while
bearing the heavy burden of the onerous
Republican legacy, the defense loan,'
and with diminished assessment basis,
reducing the taxes nearly one-half. What
internal improvements have been made in
our county under Republican domination :
What extra burden has the county been
under? Why have not those who have
usurped the management of eur county
affairs shown even corresponding reduc
ton in the same time? Echo answers
why p

"Carrying Goals to New Castle"

The idea of cabbages being imported
from Germany to the Baltimore market
looks like carrying Goals t" New Castle"
Yet this is what has been done. On Sun
day. 23d, the Steamer Leipsic arrived at
a Canton wharf, with s. cargo of 10000
heads of cabbage, which sod at 10 cents
a head. Here in our county cabbages are
very scarce. and we certainly do not think
there are any to sell This looks as
though cabbage would be luxury the
coming winter. The drought and cab
bage worm have done the work for the
cabbage beds all over the State and coun-
t.y.

Brooke, the nominees of the Republicans
Of the district. Judges Magruder and

Democratic support throughout the cir
