Living In Style.

Fashionable living brings many trials upon its
victims and the mistress Of n well kept house
fnds her fatigue greater than her enjoy ytnent.--
Take one item aionc. Have any Of our readers
tried to estimate the work to be done In simply
washing the dishes after a well scrved-not q
stylish-dinner? I once had the curiosity 10 count
the iishe. used for party Of six people rs the
servant girl washed them. There were one hun
dred and eixteen different articles 10 be handled
over, each three times washing, rinsing and wip.
ing. "what an elaborate dinner" Not at all.
Count the soup plates aud spoons the meat. plates,
knives and forks n separate saucer and spoon for
suceotasb. tomatoes and sauce meat platters
and earvers vegetable Dishes coffee cups, saucsrs
and spoons, etc. To look ON the table, there do
not seem many articles but wash and wipe
them yourself and count you proceed, and
after that you will have respect for the work
necessary 20 keep the dining room in order. Hut
the toll Of providing for the house and table Is
but irihing compared with that which Is extracted
by fashion in dress, amuscments, and the pre-
scribcd amount Of "calls" interchanged. Even if
the cares Of household are sometimes severe and
overtax the strength, yet there is chance for the
full and hcaltbful exercise Of the whole body and
n good amount Of IL IL the open air. But what
benefit can be extracted FROM the selecting and
making Of an elaborate dress Of the day Is
IL any wonder that the fashionable woman is always
tired!

Dead In a chair for a week,

Adolphus G. Schaefer, Jr., a promi.
nent cotton broker of Baltimore was
found dead in his house on Monday.
He left his office on last Monday
morning ana not returning, his clerks
supposed he had gone to the country,
where his family were to spend the
summer. For several days stencil
arose from his house. and this morning
the police were called by the neighbors
TO Investigate the cause. On breaking
into the house Mr.. Schaefer's body was
found sitting in q chair In an adj
vanced state of decomposition. He
is supposed to have died on Monday
evening last. Mr.. Schaefer was about
40 years old, and highly esteemed in
business circles.
A jury of inquest was summoned, and
an examination of the body discovered
a small pistol shot wound IN his head
and small Derringer pistol was subse-
anently found in the room. His brother
n wv on visit to Baltimore stated be-
lore the jury that the deceased bad ap-
peared to be suffering from softening of
the brain. The jury rendered verdict
of suicide,

NEW RAILROAD SCHEME.
Proposition for New York
Through Line by Way OfSmyrna.

Smyrna Times of to-day: Col. Bing.
ham, Jay Gould's agent. was in the
town some two or three weeks ago. hut
nothing particular was thought of it as
he has been here frequently before.
Last week, however, he was here again,
his movements indicating that he
meant no less busine IS than the sale and
delivery of the Kent Co., Smyrna &
Del. Bay Railroad, running.between
Bombay Hook and Chestertown, Md,
and its franchises to the New Jersey
Central. The necessary properties for
Depots, &c, have been purchased and
the terms agreed upon for the road.
though the papers have not yet on ac-
count of unsettled land damages which
he was here to pay in full, been prepared
for delivery.
The object seems to he to establish u
through line from Baltimore to New
York, the Jersey Central road having
already absorbed the Jersey Southern,
which terminates at Bayside opposite
Bombay Hook. Crossing the Delaware by
Powerful steamers to the Bombay Hook
termination of the X. & $. & d. b. H.,
it will run to Herring Pond" ten miles
below Chestertown on the Chesapeake
Bay near the mouth of Elk River, a
land locked harbor of deep water in the
shape Of II horse shoe covering about
twenty acres. From this point to Bal
timore it is only thirty miles, the spires
of the city being visible when there is a
clear atmosphere.
The railroad from Chestertown will
have to be built, the grading having
mainly been done when this route was
contemplated some eight or ten years
ago and abandoned only because Of the
general business prostration oCcasioned
by the panic of 1873. The work of con-
truction and general equipment of the
road is to be entered on at once we un-
derstand.
Senator Bayard, who was down to
Clayton on Monday in the interest of
the Whortenby estate, through which
land the road passes and for
which heis attorney, expressed his faith
in the feasibility of the route especially
for heavy freight. If established, it's
benefit to our community will be very
passing as it does just at our
side and giving our produce easy ac less
to the New York market as well as an
additional line to Philadelphia This
route will be some % or 80 miles shorter
than the p. w. X B.

The Agustine Bridge.

| As has already been stated in the
REPUBLICAN the Committee from the
| Levy Court having in charge the build
| ing of the new bridge over ST. Angus
tine creek below Port Penn has award
ed the contract to Robert A. Morrison,
Il farmer in New Castle Hundred, for
81, 800 which is $93l higher than the
proposal of Matthias 7. McNelly ofthis
city and Sjl6 higher than the proposal
of William II. Miller also of this city.
These two last named gentlemen are
practical bridge builders, Mr.. Miller
having followed the business forty
years, and Mr.. McNelly only quit the
business for the time being on account
| of a wound he received in the late war
ard entered into the employ of George
w. Bush & Son, coal dealers and
freight shippers. Mr.. Bush stood ready
to go Mr.. McNelly's security for any
required amount that the work would
be performed according to contract. Mr..
Miller also had the best of security to
offer for the faithful performance of his
duty had the contract been awarded to
him
Under these circumstances the friends
of both Mr.. Miller and Mr.. MCNelly
think it strange that the Committee of
the Levy Court should award the con-
tract to the highest bidder who was
farmer and never built bridge in his
life, while his competitors were both
skillful mechanics and experienced
bridge builders, and one of them nearly
thousand dollars lower in his propo-
sal than farmer Morrison was. 1t is
already said that Mr.. Morrison is only
the go between for Philadelphia party
who will build the bridge.

STRAWBERRY sJEeRTs.
Sealer of Weights and Measures
has been Unearthed From his
Obscurtty.

The exposure of the strawberry sharps
by the REPUBLICAN feel like hot shot
amongst the guilty parties, yesterday
morning several bright new quart meas
ures were in use along King street mar
ket There are others who are still
holding OH to the short quar-. measures
but the force of public opinion which is
almost raised to fever heat will either
drive them to use honest measures, or
drive them ont of the market. Stirring
up this question has also revealed the
name as well as the whereabouts of the
sealer and regulator of weights and
measures, as will be seen by the follow
ing letter received yesterday morning
EDITORS OF THE DAILY REPUB-
LICAN: Gentlemen My attention has
been called to an editorial article in
your issue of the Both instant, wanting
to know who and where is the Regula-
tor Of Weights and Measures of this
county? In reply, will respectfully
reply that am that officer, and that the
law requires me to give at least 20 days
notice in the months Of September and
October of the places, days and hours |
will be for the purpose of Regulating
Weights and Measures, and at all other
times at my office.
Please find enclosed a copy Of the bills
for the year 1880 that were posted
through the county, besides many of
the bills posted in conspicuous places in
Wilmington. Mr.. Reed, Il butcher on
King near 9TH street, will certify that
he also posted about % of them in the
Hotels and other places in the same
city.
| attended at all the places, and was
at the places DAYS and hours in Will
mington at the times specified ON the
bills, and regulated and stamped all
that were brought TO me.
Some of the business men said they
were then too much engaged in politics
to attend to having their Weights and
Measures regulated.
In travelling through the Country |
have to take wagon load of boxes
with me, but anything brought or sent
will at any and at all times be promptly
attended to.
Yours most truly, JOHN NASEY, Re-
gulator of Weights and Measures, Mid
dletown, New Castle County, Delaware,
May 31st, 1881.
A copy of the notices referred to in
Mr.. Vasey's letter shows that Mr.. Va
sey was at Grubb'S Hotel in this city Oh
Tuesday, October l2th, at the Delaware
House the 18th and at the Lafayette
hotel the 14th, but as the notices We're
posted only in bar rooms very few Of
the business men saw them. 1t is hop
ed that the next time Mr.. Nasey visits
Wilmington in an official capacity he
will recognize the necessity OF advertis.
ing his coming in the daily papers. All
the business people of Wilmington read
the newspapers. Mr.. Vasey must also
recollect that besides attending on the
days specified, the law says in addition:
And he shall diligently inquire for all
weights and measures, scales
and balances, which are used within
his county for buying and selling" 1t
is hoped Mr. Vasey will see the neceS-
Sity of coming to Wilmington imme-
liately.

The floral concert of the Philharmonic

was properly enthusiastic.

The entire programme was very
htoo'ASiJ iSh"SlON) IuN UuS COllCtIb
throughout was the best recently given
by the Society. The chorus has been
somewhat improved, and the presence
of the new orchestra of the club was
much appreciated, and constituted n
marked improvement.
The singing of Miss Abbie Whinnery
fully sustained her reputation in Will
where she is a favorite, and
the applause which she received was
very hearty. In all her numbers she
did exceedingly well, but in the last and
closing piece, "Inhammatus, in which
the chorus was sung by the society, she
even surprised herself.
Mr.. Richard Arnold's violin playing
was one of the principal features. His
reputation is that of one of the best vio-
linists in America, and his wonderful
playing last night was fairly apprecia-
led and he received several encores.
Altogether the club may feel contented
1t having not only fully sustained their
but at having even surpassed
themselves.

Emigration and Labor.

While every steamer that comes to oul
shores brings hundreds of hardy, de
serving peasants, there are stories OF
distress in the principal cities-the
never-ceaslng cry for work The prob
lem of finding employment for the large
accession of population is one that
should not be overlooked. The deVel-
oprnent of new railway interests in the
extreme West and Southwest, and the
steady, increased business. activity
make abor abundant. There is no rea-
Son wbv an honest able bodied man
sbould loiter around New York or Phil
adelphia if he can find his way INTO
the West. In the report of the Denver
and Rio Grande Railway, written few
weeks since, we have a statement OF
the difficulty encountered by mana
ger of that road in extending their lines,
The writer says that the most serious
difficulty has been the securing Of n
supply of good labor, and that had the
contractors been able TO keep their grad
ing camps full during the summer of
1880 the road would have been COM
pleted, "The highest wages, says the
writer, "ever paid to railroad laborers
in Colorado, are now paid by contractors
who are exceptionally responsible, and
yet it has been with the utmost diff
Guilty that the force has been kept up
to its present efficiency" This COM
pany has been compelled to advance
the fares of laborers from Canada, St.
Louis and Chicago, but in most cases
men who accepted employment under
these conditions ran away or went to
the mines or returned home. The
President arrives at the conclusion that
labor obtained in this way is not desira-
BILE, and that most of the applicants for
the opportunity of working on the Dem
yer road were anxious to get q free
ride to Colorado. Efforts were made
to bring negroes from the South, but
without success. This statement OF the
want of laborers on the Denver and Rio
Grande Railway shows that we need
not fear the want of employment or
The fact is that in Amer
lea at the present time there is work
for ten times as many laborers
as are competent to perform it.
