ner, in Boston Courier.

Edwin l.. Bynner in Boston Courier.
I am large man, malicious people may call
me fat, and 1 will not deny that I am somewhat
inclined to corpulence. Now know not how it
may be with other stout people, but personally.
1 am bound to say like my sleep. like it, too,

to say, that I think should like it undisturbed,

sleep as an ideal blessing.
Jane on the contrary, is spare in figure and
eminently nervous in temperament. She may
occasionally take little sleep. 1 say may, :"
for, as a matter of positive proven fact, have
never known her to sleep a wink in my life
Now when I add that she is addicted to hearing
noises in the night, leave it to any married man
to estimate the probable number of times | have
been awakened in the course of twenty-five years
of married life, and told in tragic whisper that
there is somebody in the house." l refrain
from making the estimate myself, as I am aware
l should not be believed.

several occasions, induced by confident assertions

N CIV Trial,

The Star Route trials go over until
December. Miner and Rerdell were
granted new trialyesterday and admit
ted to bail. Vaile, the contractor, who
escaped by one vote, became the sureties,
and offered to qualify in 100000. The
lawyers say that the Government will
enter on the new trial under much more
favorable circumstances than before,
and that point has been gained by
setting aside the verdict as to Miner
and Rerdoll. Had new trial not been
granted them, 1t would not have been
possible for the Government to have
used Rsrdell's confession against the
conspirators. That will now be used :,
aud IL is said that the Government en-.
tertains some hope of more revelations
in the way of States evidence. All
the defendeuts are on bail, and some OF
them are preparing to leave the city on
long vacations. Meanwhile the prose-
cution for bribery will probably be in
stituted, If the District Attorney shall
find evidence enengh to warrant him
in doing so.
Messrs. Brewster, Cameron and Spe-
cial Agent Bowen were heard from by
telegraph at the DEPARTMENT. of Justice,
yesterday in regard to the statement
made by Dickson. Cameron denies,
emphatically, Dickson's statement.
Bowen also denies the main points of
what Dickson asserts about himself,
and further says that Dickson first ap-
preached him to find out what he could
get from the Government for his servi-
ces If he held out under all circumstan.
ces for acquittal.

Mammalian EIaOtf0n.

This afternoon the Republicans o.
New Castle County will hold theil
nomination election for Representatives
in the General Assembly, six Levy
Courtmen, Inspectors and assessors tol
all the election districts, and Road
Commissioners for the different hun
dreds.
The elections will be held by the
members Of the Republican County
Committee from the different wards
and hundreds, at the usual voting plac-
es throughout the county. The election
In the First Ward will take place at
the White Horse Hotel, corner second
and Tatnai streets. In several OF the
hundreds two OF three tickets are in the
field and considerable interest is mani
tested.
AS Wilmington has no Levy Courtmau
nor Road Commissioner to nominate
the contest will rest solely with the
Legislative ticket as there are two
candidates in the field Austin Har-
rington, ESQ, and William Candy, both
of which Will stand and the friends of
each will endeavor to secure the nomi-
nation of their andidate.
II Vi hb5CbbOI Ill Jll0 l0oOuGIClu DlSul lGl1
Mathew MaCklin is the only candidate
while in the Northern District the fight
will probably lay between Thomas w.
Saville, the present efficient incumbent
and Lexington Barney, of the Young
Mems Republican Club. A. L. Ainscow
was mentioned as a probable candidate
but he refuses to run.
In Brandywine hundred G. M. d.
Watson will no doubt receive the nom
ination for Legislative honors over
r j. Handy. In Christiana there
will be a spirited contest between DR..
Irons of Newport and ex.Sherif II.
Lewis Armstrong, Mil Creek will
have fight for the Senatorship as there
are three candidates in the field; s.
Minot Curtis, Spencer, Chandler and
James Dennison. From present indi-
cations the outlook is in favor Of the for.
mer.
In White Clay Creek, John Pilling,
of Newark, has no opposition and will
no doubt be renominated, as will also

mink.
In PeLcader the ticket Is as follows {:
Assessor, d. Brainsrd Ferris; Inspec.
tor, u. T. Harris. Ibis hundred has no
Representative nor Levy Courtman to
nomir ate.
In Red Lion two excellent gentlemen
are IN the field for the General Assem-
bly,. Theodore f. Clark and D. B. Stew
art, both of st. Georges.
The Republicans of New Castle re.
Gently met In caucus and choose James
M. Wise as their Senatorial nominee,
but the friends of Samuel Guthrie,
Esq, oppose this acti IN and will place
their candidate in the field.
In st. Georges there is but one ticket
in the field; Alfred j. Cox for Repre-.
sentative and Joseph Clever for Levy
Court, both of which are excellent men.
Joseph G. Hutchinson will have walk
over for Levy Court in Appoquninmink
while there is no contest in BlaCkbird
and White Clay Creek.
In Mill Creek the honors will be con-
tested by Henry Whiteman and A.
Armstrong and in Red Lion, j. Frank
Reybold and William M. Stuckert will
compete for the honor.
The Republicans throughout the
county should turn out in full force
and vote for the best man, thus secur-
ing strong ticket for the coming cam

has purchased the photograph gallery
at No. 307 Market street, formerly
owned by Jacob Beerwald, and having
by this purchase secured one of the

has now advantages by which he will
be enabled to assure the public that he
will give them first class photographs

of Mr.. Sawyer, late operator of j. X.
