A Delaware Girls Luck.

A correspondent to the Wilmington Morn
ing NelrS says THE monotony of Smyrna,
Del. has been broken within the last two or
three days by very romantic rumor con-
corning the daughter of hard working farm
er, residing near there, which may be called
indeed romance in real life About two
years ago Lottie Mallory, whose parents have
house full of little ones, seeing the struggle
that had to be made to keep them from suf
fering for the necessities of life to relieve her
parents from portion of their trouble, went
to Phiiadel phia and secured a position as a
domestic servant in a family Of that city.
One summer afternoon in 1879 she wandered
out to tairmouRt Park to gain few hours
rest from her duties. While sitting on one
of the rustic benches she attracted the atten
ton Of an old gentleman who had passed the
ripe cid age of three. score and ten. See
ing the careworn and pale face, he was
prompted by his philanthropie heart to speak
to her He saw in short time, through his
knowledge of physiognomy, that she was the
person he desired to take the place of a
housekeeper who had been taking advantage
of her position to rob him, and told her
that she was working too hard and would soon
break down under the strain she was then
under. To make a long story short, he en-
gagged her to take charge of his home on Wal
nut street, in that city. She went to her new
and pleasant no me and performed her duties
so well that her aged employer, widower
without children, during the past winter
adopted her in legal manner as his daugh
ter and principal heir to a fortune of over
S300,0OO. She now bears the name of Lottie
Josephine Leon, daughter of DIR. Joseph
Leon, one of Philadelphia oldest physicians,
and expects, during the summer, to make
visit TO the home OF her childhood and show
l. l.
tive State and town."
Now, girls, don't all run off to the cities to
engage as housekeepers; for the supply of
wealthy and childless old widowerS is not very
large, and there are not enough of them to go
round.

We have received the tenth annual re-
port of Jesse K. Hines, Esq, Insurance
Commissioner of the State of Maryland,
to the Governor, showing the operations of
the Insurance Department for the past
year, embodying the statements of 185
companies authorized to do business in this
State The CentreUiHe Observer says of
the Insurance Commissioner
''One of the offices which the Governor
desires to have abolished is the Office of In
surance Commissioner, but as yet we have
seen no satisfactory reason given why the
office should not continue in existence. Ere
uuent examinations into the condition of the
companies that do business in this State, and
the publication of reports showing their con-
dition, adds very much to the feeling OF secu-
rity which one feels nowadays who is insur-
ed 1t also prevents fraudulent concerns
from opening shop here tog gull people OF their
money, and renders reasonably secure the
risks our people entrust to them. The Gthce
is more than self-supporting, turning into the
treasury some thousands of dollars annually,
and it is therefore not tax upon the people,
but on the contrary, from all the light we have
seen thrown upon it, is positive advantage
to the people Of the State, and being an ad.
vantage to the people, it should be continued

Ksedys Charge Against Senator German.


Last week we called Senator Germans az
tention to The charge made against him 10y
Mr.. Keedy Of Washington county, in which
Keedy declared thas Mr.. German had used
his influence with the canal employees 10 de
feat Democratic candidates. The charge
needed immediate denial, and We are glad TO
be able to state that every word Of It IS fully
denied. letter jHst received BY Us from
gentleman fully authorized to speak for Sea-
ator German says that Immediately after tbs
election of 1879 bill was fled IN the United
States Court by Stewart aud others charging
Mr.. German as President OF the canal com
pany with having used lis officers and en-
ployees for political purposes, and because OF
which. and Tor other reasons they asked the
apDointment Of a receiver. In the effort to
establish that charge Mr.. keedy OF Washing
ton county was employed as an assistant
counsel to examine the witnesses summoned
in Washington county Each
and every employee who was examined under
oath testified to the fact that they never re-
ceived from Mr.. German instructions 10 vote
against keedy or any other gentleman, and
that the company g employees were not used
for political purposes by him. 1t doesa
pear, however, from the testimony that one
or two of them voted against keedy, not by
Mr. Germans wish, knowledge or consent,
but because Of some personal and political
difficulties between Keedy and them.
s'The other side net only failed to prove the
charges made but We proved that they were
absolutely without Foundation
Now this is the other side and it completely
souelches Keedy, who is shown to be a
reckless fellow in his charges, making them
in the face of sworn facts to the contrary.
Such chaps as Keedy had better be hauled in
at once if the Governor does not want his re-
form movement to be laughed out Of existence
By the people.

Editorial Notes.

The Republicans of Ohio have re-nomi-
mated Hon. Charles Foster for Governor,
and have endorsed the Garfield admins
tration. This latter act will be regarded,
we presume, by Senator Coukling, as an
insult to him.
The Greenbackers of Iowa last week
nominated Mrs. Mary E. Nash, Of Des
Moines, for Superintendent of Public In
struetion, but she has declined the honor.
The Star Service Investigating Com
mittee have discovered some more gross
extravagances in the service in the South
west, and will make some recommends
tions, which, if adopted, it is claimed, will
make an additional saving of 100000 in
the postal service.
The Legislature of New Hampshire has
been ballotting for some time on a success
sor to Senator Rollins, whose time does not
expire until 1888. A number of the mem
bers denied the right of the present Legis-
lature to elect, and on wednesday the
Senate adopted resolution asking the
Supreme Court for an opinion on the sub
ject.
The trial of Cadet Whitaker has at last
ended, yet the verdict of the court mar
shall has not been rendered. The trial has
cost the country $4,000, and no matter
what the verdict may be, the country will
regard that large sum to pay on account
of the ears of colored cadet.
The New York Legislature has not yet
elected successors to Messrs. Conkling and
Plat, aud the struggle seems no nearer
an end now than it did three weeks ago.
The stalwarts adhere to the resignins Sen
ators, the Half Breeds, or those who snp-
port the Garfield administration, still scat
ter their votes, while the Democrats vote
for Herman and jacobs.
The New York San believes that the
number Immigrants to the United States,
in the decade between 1880 and 1890 will
reach fully FIVE millions. Germany is now
the largest contributor.
Samuel Dihble was on Thursday elected
to Congress from the second district Of
South Carolina, to FIJI vacancy caused
by the death Of Congressman 0'Couuor.
On Thursday the State Treasurer Of
Pennsylvania refused to pay the members
Of the Legislature the full salary elaimed
by them, 81 800 for 100 days service.
The law under which the members have
been drawing their salaries provided that
they shall receive 81 900 for a regular
session, not exceeding 100 days, and $40
day for not exceeding Fifty days, but the
attorney general decided that the per diem
feature a the law is unconstitutional, aud
advised the State treasurer not to pay The
Re.nbers more than 1000. The latter
hive determined to bring suit against the
State treasurer next week fer the money
which he has refused to pay them. The
Legislature adjourned Thursday.
