That Other Feller.-Uow easy it is

a child can do that. A Boston Sun
day-school superintendent tells of an
experience ofhis, in proof OF this truth.
One Sunday he found in his school a
class OF urchins, recently gathered in
from the streets, without teacher for
the day; so he took them in hand
He came right down to the first prin-
ciples, and talked Of sin and salvation.
One OF his pointed questions was, is

President Arth Ir's Message ..

President Arthur's first message to
Congress is a model of conciseness with
out rhetorical establishment, and re-
plete with practical common sense IDEAS
on the leading topics OF the day. His
tribute to his late lamented predecessor
in office is grateful, eloquent and sym
pathetic. He compliments our citizens
with the readiness with which they som-
pete in inventions and manufacturers at
various expositions, and recommends
that the delegates and honorary member
to the late Electrical exhibition at Par
is be paid their expenses by the Gov.
ernment. eHe refers in glowing and
patriotic terms to the Yorktown centen-
NAL and the ties of friendship which
bind us to the German and French ma
tions. He recommends that American
lsraelites visiting Russia should be
guaranteed the consideration due them
as American citize MS. He conGratu.
lates the country on its great prosperity
and recommends that the internal rev.
enue taxes be reduced upon al articles
except tobacco and liquors. He favcrs
the increase of the army to 10000 men.
The message throughout bears the
stamp of ability, breathes the spirit Of
loyalty and devotion to the best inter
ests Of the nation. The message may
be classed as one of the ablest sent to
Congress.

how jury, taking cursory review OF

influenced in favor of clemency for
Neal, where there was the least shadow
of doubt that could be construed in
his favor. While we have no fault to

Inaurance COmmtsstOner's Report

Mr.. John r. McFee, Insurance Com.
missioner, Of the State OF Delaware, has
commenced the distribution of his first
biennial report, made to the General
Assembly, at its last session. The re-
port isin book form, and was executed
IN Dover, by James Kirk and Sons,
printers. 1t is printed on iiue paper,
clo'h binding and is a fine piece OF
typographical art. The book conta MS
many points OF great interest, to those
who deal with insurance companies.
| t shows the condition of all the compan-
les that operate in this State and fills a
long felt necessity. By having an In
surance Commissioner, all worthless
companies are prevented from locating
in our midst, of which, their number Is
| legion, and mary are VictimiZed by
| tuese so-caled worthless companies,
| who always announce large amount
| of assets, but are hard to find W hen al
examination is made into their affairs,
During the year ending January 81,
| 1881, Sixty-eight insurance companies
were authorized to transact business in
the state. OF these, six companies are
Incorporated under the laws of this
STATE; but the certificate of authority to
one OF them having been recently re-
voked, and two others having since then
been authorized to do business, there
remains now seven home insurance
companies doing business in the State.
One of the said home companies is a
Joint stock fire Insurance company,
the other six are mutual fire insurance
companies. No life insurance compan,
Incorporated under our laws is doing
business in the State. There were
thirty-two fire and tire-marine in
surance companies Of other States;
twenty foreign fire insurance compan :
les; one life and accident, and eight
life insurance companies of otAer
States, only authorized to do business
in this State for the year ending jan
uary 81, 1882. An immense amount of
capital is employed to successfully carry
on these companies, which have grown
to such proportions, and low rates ofin
surance, that it is within tho reach OF

Gov, Blackburn of Kentucky has used
the pardoning power SO freely as to
have incurred severe censure. "We are
all human" he responds, "and have
human hearts. which are touched by
the sorrows of others. This is no great
offence, but l think I have often been
upjustly criticised" What moved
him efectually, he explains, was the
fact that in the penitentiary two con-
victs were crowded into nearly every
cell four feet wide, six long, and six
high. The men thus roomed were dy-
ing alta fearful rate, and he determined
that the prison should not be charnel

Tho Neal Verdict.

Rather Unexpectedly the jury in the
Neal case came into court yesterday af-
te1noon and rendered verdict of not
guilty. The public had been misin-
formed in regard tothe state Of the jury
he report having been spread abroad
that they were all in favor of convic-
tion except one. This was erroneous, as
it new appears that from the start the
first ballot showed four for acquittal,
only two for conviction and six in
doubt. The number for acquittal grew
larger all the time, and On the seventh
ballot stood seven for acquittsl, and at
no time during the deliberation of the
jury were there more than two in favor
of conviction. This is quite the reverse
of the published reports that stated that
only one Of the jury favored acquittal
in consequence of which curses loud
and deep were showered upon the stub.
born jurors head. There is no doubt Of
the fact that the public mind is averse
to the verdict, the evidence against
Neal being Of the most positive charac.
ter and uncontradicttd by the defense
The only doubt raised in the case war
in regard TO the resistance, whether il
was sufficient, or what might be ex.
pec.ed in case of that kind. Coupled
with that was the fact that for many
years past only negroes had been exc
cuted for criminal offences while white
persons equally guilty invariably were
cleared.
This Of course should not influence q
jury, hut 1t can easily be seen that a
reaction had to set in some time, and II

How We Makea Trade.

We made one of our prominent
citizens suit Of clothes last month
who said that "This was the first
clothing which he had had made
outside Of Philadelphia, in tif-
teen years" We pleased him 30
well that he said he was glad that
Wilmingtonians had, at last, a place
where they could procure good, re-
liabls goods at reasonable prices,
and that he would recommend us to
his friends. He did 80, and in less
than three weeks we received orders
for three suits and three owe rcoats,
from as many different persons,
none OF whom had ever been our
patrons and who came solely on his
recommendations. To this mode of
doing business we owe the un-
bounded success which we have re-
oeived in this city and between
this and the 1st Of January We are
very anxious to make an entire
sweep OF the magnificent stock of
fine clothing for men, youths, boys
and children, which we have now
on hand preparatory to enlarging
our salesrooms, occupying and re-
modelling the whole corner of Sixth
