We feel though that we ought 10 apollo
gise to our readers for besmirching our
columns with the name Of such q disreputa-
BILE blot upon civilization as the false pre-
tense at Third and King streets, but we In
tend to bring this matter 70 head right
here and now. We, therefore, publicly and
emphaticAlly charge the Repsblican, a
daily paper OF this city, published
by George w. Vernon & Sons, and edited
BY solomon Hersey, With having deliber-
ately and wiliully stolen valuable news-
property rightfully belonging TO others--and
appropriated 1t to It's own use in open and
fragrant defiance of every principle Of
decency and honor, and in direct contrayen-
tion Of that great moral law which says
''thou shalt not steal"
II there is any palmer form by which a
charge Of moral theft can be more clearly and
explicitly stated we shall be glad to hear otit.
We don't want to be misunderstood. We
say that the Republtean is an habituai thiei

can give that term and we are prepared "a
prove the charge by evidence Of the most in
disputable character.

THE THIRD AND KING STREET sheet,
the Daily Disgrace, confesses that the promi-
nent coal merchant, the toe Of whose boot
it has just metaphorically encountered with
such disastrous effects to its very small piece
of mind, really succeeded in insulting not
only one, but "all connected with that
Spaper." Really this is almost equal to the
time miracles. To have performed the
cult feat of insulting one of that tribe
Nme would have been noteworthy, but
citrate at single stroke the callous
bf cold man Vernon and the boys'
\ hired man" Hersey, too, is assuredly
h.Jst astounding example of wholesale
moral surgery.

s.MINGroN. FRIDAY, DEC.
A final word About the city Printing.

Every Egeni,tg thinks we failed to give
reSson the other day for our opinion that
itslelaims to part Of the city printing are
plausible rather than just" TO use its
version Of our remark. We certainly
thought we gave reason, Though we did
not do SO very extendedly, simply because
we had in mind the same resolve which our
respected contemporary expresses when it
says that 1t does not mean to take hand In
the fight for spoils that seems brewing
among Wilmington newspapers.
The GAZETTE has never sought the city
printing since Council has been Republican,
and the resolution with reference to the city
ordinances was passed without the slightest
instigation or suggestion on Its part, or on
the part of any one connected with It. At
the same time we cannot but approve the
plan embodied in this resolution as a sensi-
BILE and business-like method for securing
the widest publicity of the ordinances and
also as a matter of justice to a large number
of our citizens who under the recent rule OF
advertising only in Republican papers were
compelled to go outside of their regular
family journal ia order to learn anything OF
the provisions of such new ordinances al
might be passed from time to time.
II you ask any man of ordinary intelli-
genee who knows anything OF the matter
how to best reach the most people Of com
munity through any two of its newspapers
nine chances to one he will tell you to seleci
one paper of each political party. This Il
the idea we had in view as the reason for oul
opinion that Epery Ege,.in9's claims wer,
g more plausible than just" when we sale
" one paper of each political party reaches
g all the people of any community much
more thoroughly than it can be done ii
any other way"
But after all, the question is one concern
ing which we do not intend to be disturbed
let Council do what IL may in the matter
We merely express our opinion tkat, as the
matter now stands, Council has made wise
and equitable disposition of the city print
ing, but we hope, If the question is again
opened, that not one of its members will
allow this approval of their action to weigh
single iota In our favor. The receptacle
for stolen goods, at Third and King streets,
seems to think that 1t would have bearing
upon the question, but we take pleasure in
saying that we have a better opinion OF
Council than that, though majority Of itf
members are Republicans and consequently
our political foes, but, we hope, not oul
personal enemies.
The daily gazette., 1882-12-22

The DESPERATION of the Daily Disgrace
over its failure to secure all of the city
printing is doubtless augmented by the re-
membrance of it's failure to bribe former
Clerk of Council, when the Democrats were
in control of that body, by offering him ten
per cent. Of its bills for printing. If it
shall have the temerity to attempt like die
graceful transaction with the present Clerk
we have no doubt it will be spurned with
the same contempt that it met at the hands
of Clerk Frazer.

ACCORDING TO his own admission Street
Commis sioner Zebley accepted fees for
which he failed to render service, in inspect
ing but two cesspools dug by citizen, and
taking pay for five. Thus, he not only dis
regarded his duty. to the city, but gave
official sanction to work he knew nothing
about, simply taking 1t for granted
that it was all right, and thereby
permitted a palpable violation of the
laHRertaining to the digging of cesspools
Had L. The matter been called to the at
tention of tie BOARD of Health it would have
escaped detection nd thus proved an en-

The NEWS THIEF's idea of cultiyating
business relations with advertisers is to
praise those who patronize its columns and

that the GAZETTE was moved to make Just

VI because it had received few orders for
Yty printing was a perfectly natural one

Proverbs about Women.

An old Spanish proverb expresses
characteristically the high-bred cour-
illness which was once peculiar to
the race "The counsel Of a woman
is not worth much, but he who does
not take it is not worth nothing" In
Putterham's carts. of English Poe
try" a curious and interesting work,
published about the end Of the six
teenth century, the author, speaking
of the tender-heartedness Of the fe-
male sex in general, alludes to the
common prOverb, "A woman will
weep for pitie to see gosling goe
barefoote." There must haYe been a
touch of real humOr about the origi-
natOr of this ancient proverb, rldlcul-
ing. but nevertheless loving, the pro-
digalily of tenderdess which caused
him such amusement. The prefer
ehce generally given in the seven
teenth century to the gray mares OF
Flanders oyer the finest coach horses
of England gave rise to the vulgar
proverb, 1.-THE gray mare is the bet
ter horse" George Herbert gave the
world many proverbs which are de-
scriptive Of the lives and qualities of
women. Among others we select the
following: empty chambers make
foolish maids" a proverb which of
course, like SO many others, only eX-
presses a half truth /; for we are will
ing to believe that some very wise
little maidlnS have grown into WO-
manhood like mOorIand blossoms,
which only the grouse, and the id
der, and the humble bee have looked
on; but foolish is no doubt used h ere
in its slghter significance Of bashful,
in which case the proverb is of course
true one. "a fair wife and from
tier castle breed quarrelS" reads like
the sigh of some Daronial Benedict
who frultlcssly thirSted after quiet
ness in the weary ages of warfare.

doubt the miserly conclusion Ofsome
medieval HarDagon one can almost
recognize the snap with which it was
uttered, in the laconic brevity Of the
phrase. "Who lets his wife 90 to
every feast and his horse drink at
every water, shall neither have good
wife nor good horse" to this day ac
cords with the sentiments Of many
married men. "ChOOse q house
made and wife to make" said some
strong minded gentleman, who flat
tered himself that he had moulded
the character of the girl whom he
had married, who very tolerably all
the while had gained entire ascen-
dency over him in essentials by
tiatteling his weak point Of mould
ing her in non-essentials. For that
is way these dainty creatures have.
