The abstract OF the decision Of the
United States Supreme Court, was
received with more interest by the legal
fraternity than perhaps any previous
decision. 1t was not only the first crini-
nal case ever appealed from our state
courts, but it involved question of great
interest not only to Delawareans br,t to
the whole country.
Attorney-General Gray received by this
mornings mail an abstract of the decision
which, though substantially the same as
given yesterday, dwells with more EN-
phasis upon the declnation of the State
court to allow testimony to be introd uced
to show that negroes, as such, were in
tentionally excluded from the jury panel.
The reason why Mr.. Higgins request
to otlcr such testimony was not granted
was because itcame too late. Several days
had been expended in hearing argument,
and every facility had been afforded by
the superior Court to Mr.. Higgins, to
show cause why the indi ;tment should be
quashed, but he neglected TO offer testimony
until the trial OF the case was actually
about 10 proceed.
That this was one of the strongest
grounds of the appeal, as Attorney
General Gray had anticipated, is corroh-
Grated hy the following extract from a
letter from Senator Bayari, received by
him also this morning.

New CASTLE, April "a gentleman
OF this city, yesterday morning, during
the prevalence of a dense fog, took skill
and started to row across the river, having
business ON the other side to transact.
After rowing about three hours and see
ing no sign Of his destination, he rested
on his oars, and in few minutes the Toy
lifted, when he found himself about halt
a mile from his starting point.

In THESE times of depressing news from
the peach growing districts, it is refresh
ing to hear Of any one who has prospect
for fair yield this season. The orchard
on the farm belonging to the estate OF the
late Mrs. Ann j. Black, situated in Cecil
county, Maryland, near the head of Sas-
satras, gives every indication of large
yield, being one mass of bloom, while iii
ether sections, particularly in this State,
not only the buds but the trees them
selves appear dead. DR.. Black, who is
the administrator of the estate of Mrs.
Black, says that $4,000 would not pur-
chase the prospective crop on that farm.

Iberia Star: Wednesday afternoon at
about candlc-ligLt, a Negro boy of five
years named Solomon Smith, whose par
ents reside in the corporation, near the
Catholic cemetery, was burned to death
by the explosion of small coal oil lamp
which he had lighted in the absence Of
his mother. He had placed the burning
lamp on the end of a trestle that served
as part of the betlstead. This being
very narrow and unlevel with the floor,
soon caused the lamp to fall and explode,
throwing burning oil over him. He was
SO horribly charred that he died shortly
afterwards.

Visit to Turkey Tail Falls and the Narrow

DEAR Ausf CHAT:
After numberless excursions to point.
of interest" and series of exploration.
for miles around, we began to consratu
late ourselves that We had accomplished
the Herculean task of "doing" the
country, and were about to rest from oul
labors in spirit, not Of humility, but
of self-exaltation, that We had excelled
many ofour neighbors in point of energy
and adventure. We were destined t,
wear our appropriated laurels but q
brief space, however, and our Cicerone
soon aroused US from the anaconda ike
torpidity into which we were sinking
by announcing one morning the start
ling fact that we had failed to visit the
most notable place of all, that prepara-
tions would be made for an exsursion to
Turkey Tail Falls" alias til. "Nar-
rows" the following day. Turkey Tail
Falls! Yes, we had heard of them, and
recalled, with dismay, the graphic and
almost terrifying description tourist of
last season had given rs of trip to this
we'll nigh inaccessible spot. 1t was with
out a shadow Of a!lurement for us.
for had we not listened with batel
breath to an account of it's situation
down, far down perpendicular cliff,
which we were expected to descend and,
worst of all, ascend1 Nay! We were
resolved to resist all the soft blandish-
ments Of those not SO adversely in
clined, and especially Of our irrepressi-
BILE guide, and remain, ingloriously per-
haps, but still comfortably, at home.
But, alas it seems ever to be the fate of
womankind to be convinced against their
will-why will they persist i'll meekly
surrendering their right to Independent
action, wonder ?-and the next morn
ing found every disatfected member of
the party trudging contentedly, resign
edly, and even gaily, in the direction of
the much dreaded Turkey Tail Falls.
The strangest part of it was that even
staid, matronly ladies and proftssed in
yalids, who were never addicted to ne
destrianism OF excursions, had joined the
party on this occasion, while heretofore
they had steadfastly abjured all at
tempts at touring as being beyond their
strength. It was indeed no marvel that
q cynical bachelor exclaimed, upon see-
ing the imposing array of excurionists,
20 consistency, thou art jewell" You
would have been infinitely amused, my
dear, serene Aunt Chat, if you could
have viewed that procession as it filed
off from the Cove towards the Narrows.
Some one suggested that the Blooner
costume would have been more suitable
for the ladies durirg the climbing process,
but think the short and rather narrow
flannel skirts answered every purpose.

THE DRUNKARD,s DREAM.

The drunkard dreamed of his old retreat,
Of his cosy place in the tap-room seat;
An AND the liquor. CLEANED in his gloated eye
Till his lips to the sparkling glass drew nigh
He lifted it up with an eager glance,
| And sang as he saw the bubbles dance:
Aha! am myself again!
Heres a truce to care, an adieu to pain!
Welcome the cup, with its creamy foam!
Farewell to work and a lnopy home!
With jolly crew and a flowing bowl,
In bar-roOm pleasures love to roll |"
Like fash there came to the drunkar,l,
side
His angel child, WHO that night had died,
With look so gentle, and sweet and fond;
She touched his glass with her little wand,
And oft as he raised it up to drink,
She silently tapped on it's trembling brink,
Till the drunkard shook from foot to crown
Aud sat the untasted goblet down.
Hey, man" cried see host, what mean
eth this2
Is the cOvy sick or the dram amiss7
Cheer up, my lad quick the bumper qua #! .
And he glanced around with fendisl,
laugh.
The drunkard raised his glass once more,
And looked at the depth as oft before;
but started to see on it's pictured form
The face of his little dead child at home,
ihen AGAIN the landlord at him sncered,
And the staggering crowd OF drunkards
jeered;
But still as he tried that glass to drink,
The wand Of his dead one tapped the brink !!
The landlord gaspcd. II swear, my man, i,
Thou shalt take every drop of this flowing
cant"
The drunkard bowed to the quivering brim
Though his heart beat fast and his ewes
grew dim,
But the wand struck harder than before
The glass was slung ON the bar-room floor,
All around the ring the fragments lay.
And the poisonous current rolled away,
The drunkard awoke. His dream was gone
His bed was bathed in the light of morn;
But he saw, as he shook with pale, cold
fear,
a beautiful angel lowering near.
lie arose, and that seraph was near him
still;
It CHECKED his passion, it swayed his will;
1t dashed from his lips the maddening bowl,
And victory gave to his ransomed soul!
since ever that midnight hour he dreamed,
Our hero has been a man redeemed;
Ana this Is the prayer that he prays al
way.
And A. this is the prayer let us help him pray,
mat angels may come in every land,
10 dash the cup from the drnnkard's hand.
