SIBTLITTFS.

If the Democratic Party is wise it will
oomport ITSELF as the custodian of the homes
ty and the integrity of this state.
If is worthy Of the trust in it reposed
the Coming Legislature will devote its at
tention to the remedying of existing evils
and to the enactments of those statutes
that will conserve the public peace aud that
will tend to the advancement Of the MATER
ial interests of this State :-tut, before the
sm Ike of the late political contest had clear
ed away we hear well defined whisperlngs
of Metropolitan Police force for the city
of w I'm ngton. We are speaking for the

efficiency of the present Mayor to preserve

of
Local Self Government has been claimed as
the corner stone of Democracy all through
the years-Home Government has been de-
manded as the inaleniable right of tie Amer
lean Citizen, yet in the face of this we'll
defined Democratic principle, men are SO
drunken with recent party successes that
th ignore the fundamental traditions of
their party and hug to their bosoms theory
that has ever been at variance with their
principles and with their teachings
We beg of the enthusiastic Partisan not
to be deceived by the results of last Tues
day-it was not Democl attic triumph, irse
Sc, but it was a spontaneous Memorial trib-
ute to the murdered Garfield; when his
"Accidency'' inherited the Presidency he
took especial del ght in making himself OBJ
noxious to all ofSMr. Garfeld's friends,
He reversed ths policy of his honored pre-
ti;eCessot-AlIe ous saged pupifc opinion byie-
warding with office those who M 'ligned the
Memory of the late President and the fol-
lowers of Mr.. Garfield rose en- massee to re-
buke Chester A. Arthur for his defiance of
public sentiment. This was one of the po-
tental factors that entered into the late
contest-and it was one of the leading caus-
es of the overwhelming Alti-Administration
Majorities. We again repeat that the re-
suit of last Tuesday must not be construed
into a partisan triumph,
If the Demoratic party shows itself true
to the interests OF the people, it will eontin-
ue in the confidence of Il people, but if it
is untrue to itself and recieant to is trust
then the people Will put upon it their con-
demnation.
Above all things We do not want any
special political leg islation for Wilmington
we hope that the Party will rise 10 tie full

every reasonable expectation of the peo-

Over the Fill.

An open easement where soft winds sigh,
And, faint with their own rich fragrance, die;
A glimse of skies, as soft and deep
AS the eyes of love, when they smile or weep,
And by Swallowing eafiet and flowing rill,
pathway wandering over the hill.
An idle dreamer, with wistful eyes,
Looking out upon cloud and skies,
A fair cheek, turned for the winds caress,
AS, family dying it stays to bless,
While fancy wanderingly follows still
Thepathway clamberlng over the hill.
Whence and whittier, oh, path of life?
Questioning heart, when the toll and strife,
The CLEAN of hope or the cloud of care,
The joy of loving, or loves despair,
Shall alike have faded and passed away,
Who shall answer thee? Who can say
What our future-Or good or ill,
When we have journed over tine hill.

Suggestions for Boys.

When boy has really made acquaint,.
ance with the best books, he will hayo
found out much that he can think
about; for they VIII not only teach him
a GREAT deal that it is desirable to know,
but they will be the means of suggest
inc ideas of his own about things in
general. He may, therefore, find pleas
ure and profit in keeping a daily jour
nal, or diary, of all he learns, either by
reading or observation, and recording
carefully the thoughts which occur to
him. This will he Up him to remember
and make use Of the information he
acquires, and also give practice in COM
position. Such q book will be sure to
afford bright boy more satisfaction
at the end of year than dozen col
lections of foreign postage stamps, or
small curiosities Of any kind. If he has
taken pains with it it will show him
lust what he has been doing with much
of his time, and whether he is really
progressing in knowledge and sense as
he grows older. He should try to make
the record each week better and better,
particularly in the way in which it is
written, and not become weary of the
uQucIi dhlIS SIMPLY DcCauoo IL ieIu Jun Cd
labor. No boy need hope to be some
day wise and intelligent man who will
not take the trouble to advance himself
in every possible way, and as thorough
" as he can. Whatever he studies or
merely reads he should endeayor to I'M
derstand and master; and when he
attempts to write. he ought to rewrite
and correct every sentence many times,
if necessary, until he is sure it is the
plainest and best he can make it. A
boy who has the opportunity to go to
school, and books to read, and takes
much pains with himself, ought to
know, at least by the time he is fifteen
years of age, how to speak his own
language correctly, and how to write
something better than a passable letter;
what the natural and political divisions
of the world are, and an intelligent
notion respecting the part he inhabits;
and he should also have some knowl-
edge of the leading events in the his
tory of the world and of his country
Perhaps it may be said that he ought to
know this much and great deal more
besides which may be classed as misce-
laneous acknowledgements as will enable
him to be sufficiently intelligent to I'M
derstand how to be an agreeable and
entertaining boy.-F. B. Stanford, IN

How Nan Was Cured.

Mans mamma was very much afraid
Nan would grow up to be a cruel girl,
for she seemed to delight in torturlng
the poor little flies. She would catch
them on the window-pane, and pull OF
their legs and wings and call it fine
sport.
Her mamma talked to two-year- old
Nan, and told her how cruel it was.
How would you like to have some big
man pull off your legs and arms. Nan?'
she would ask.
Nan would shudder. II won't do it
no more!' she would say; but the very
next day she would do it again. ,>
One day there was wasp on the win
dow, and Nan, thinking he was big
fly, caught him, and was going to pul
of his wings, when suddenly she
dropped him and ran screaming to hel
mamma s'F'y bit me!!'' she cried
holding up her finger, while the tear
ran down her cheeks. 81 e.
Her mamma bathed the poor little
finger in strong soda water, and told the
little girl that if she was cruel to the
flies, She must expect they would bit'
her.

The following drink for relieving
sickness of the stomach is said to be
very palatable and agreeable: Beat up
one egg very well, say for twenty min
utes; then add fresh milk one pint, wa
ter one pint, sugar to make it palatable;
boil, and let it cool; drink when cold,
If it becomes curds and whey, it is use

order. To those who wish to raise
calves on very little milk, would say,
use oats and oil meal freely, and by
studying the wants ofyour calves you will
be able to raise fine animals on q small
allowance of milk. ''-DetroU Post.
Peach fritters, served with cream
and sugar, are an excellent substitute
for pastry at dinner. Make batter as
for ordinary fritters-of sweet milk,

choose to add one egg to each pint OF
milk it will improve the dish. Peel and
quarter as many pea hes as you wish to
put in-the more the better, as the
peaches shrink in cooking. Drop by

The Anae1zcun Cultirator says that
above all things else it is necessary that
there be a general understanding that
large crops are always proportionately
more profitable than small crops; that
within certain limits given amount of
products can be grown more cheaply on
five acres than on ten. When this fact
is properly appreciated the popular craze
to secure more land will be abated. and
better culture of fewer acres will take
the place of the present system of halt
tillage over large acres.
"A Southern amateur gardener Sc
cured slabs from the saw-mill and bored
two inch holes in them fifteen inches

from each of five experimental varieties
was a sight worth beholding. When
other Strawberries in the neighborhood
were all dried up by the great drouth

Fashion Notes.

Diagonal rows of narrow bias ruffles
are the new trimming for the foot of
silk skirts.
Striped plush is blocked into shape
as lining for the wide brims of felt
hats.
Sicilienne and Irish poplin are COM
ing into fashion along with other repped
goods.
Leather lace with leaves of leather on
Irvine ticelle lace is novelty for trim
ming bonnets.
Brocades will be limited to velvets for
the approaching season; plain goods
will be preferred in silks and wooden
stuffs.
Trained dresses that have been little
used during the summer have reap
peared at Newport and Saratoga re-
ceptions.
Cashmere and cloth with Saxony en-
broidery, soutache braiding, or plain
stitching, will make up the bulk of the
new autumn costumes.
Turkish and India embroideries of
soft, dull, yet rich coloring will trim the
self-colored cashmere and cloth dresses
worn later in the season.
New bonnets and hats for the season
between summer and winter have the
brim Of summer straw with a wintry
velvet crown. Styles for the demi-sea-
son are otherwise well defined.
The pelisse to be worn next winter is
precisely like the long, plain redingotes
worn two years ago. It is made of
cloth and trimmed with braid down
the front and back, but not around the
skirt. m... ....

A great deal of dull red is seen on the

of red is in almost all toilets, though it
may be only a copper-red silk necker-

Miiliners select the best feathers OF
eight birds to make a single turban.
Blue jays, black birds, magpies, crows,
partridges, hawks, wild ducks, pigeons,
| swallows, and many other familiarly-
known birds are stripped of their
feathers to minister to the new craze.
The stylish wraps for the first cool days
will be braided cloth jackets for plain
toilets, and fcel.e -colored cloth mantles
trimmed with lace and pompons of the
same shade for dressy toilets.
The only beaded goods among new
trimmings are ''solid' passementer
that show nothing but beads. but there
are many sizes and shapes, such as
bugles. fiat nail-heads., large balls.

Laughing Lii lives on the hill,
Where runs the water to the mill,
And be the day Or fair or gay,
She sings her merry roundelay:

The robin sings, whate'er the sky,
And 80 do ~
The rain may fall, the loud winds call,
