the Dover men and Messrs. Stone and

favor the county-rights people. Z

Possible Cost Of the New Structure Across

The Levy Court lis somewhat thrown on
its beam ends by the action of Col. Moore
and they are at loss what to do. 1t is ex.
peeted new bridge will be erected across
the Christiana at Third street, but not before
next year. The new structure suggested
would cost, If erected by the county alone
about 900, and would be substantially
constructed of iron, as mentioned Yesterday.
II the railroad companies, who have asked
the court to postpone the building of a new
bridge two years, join hands with the ecounty,
the total cost will be SS0,000
1t is the prevailing impression among
business men that 1t would be advisable for
the county to go it alone in the matter oi
the new bridge and let the railroads have
their own route. II would therefore give
each party a feeling Of independence not
to be possessed should the same structure
be used for both steam and wagon traffic. A
number of plans and estimates will be
obtained for the new structure, which can
not long be delayed, inasmuch as the pres.
ent bridge is in miserable condition.

MT. COnklIng.
WASHINGTON, August S.--The President
to-day nominated William Waldorf Astor of
New York, to be Minister to Rome,, vice
George P. Marsh, deceased. Mr. Astor was
one of the noble 26 in the New York State
Senate who voted from first 10 last for the
reelection of Mr.. Conkling after that gem
tleman had resigned from the U.
s. Senate. Mr.. Astor also clung
closely to the fortunes of Mr.. Platt,
and when his chances for reelection waned
under the blaze of the Half Breed sun the
vote of the new appointee to Rome was cast
for Mr.. Crowley. After Mr.. Astor had
failed in his efforts to be elected to Congress
against X. P. Flower he sailed TO Europe TO
recuperate from the fatigue of that most ex-
traordinary campaign, and the attractions
of the Eternal City proved so fascinating
that he gladly accepted the profier of the
Italian mission.

Too many "ponies' of brandy will
produce nightmare. - Whitehall Times.
Middletown transcript., 1882-03-03

Edinburgh is renowned also for her
lingual requirements and for her skill
IN music, being a brilliant pianist.
She is lady of remarkable force of
character, and has cured her husband
OF sundry very unprincely defects. She
IS famed in the royal family of England
as being the only member of it who
ever successfully defied the authority
OF Queen Victoria, that imperious lady
having been compelled on more than
one occasion to recall a command
issued by her to her spirited Russian
daughter-in-law. The Duchess, despite
her imperial origin, is very simple in
her taste and manners, cares nothing
for dress or display, and may often be
seen making purchases in the London
shops without the slightest formality
or ceremony.
1t is said that the coolness between
the Duchess and her royal mother-in-
law took its rise in true feminine
fashion, in an article of dress, namely,
a bonnet. When the Duchess was to
make her entrance as bride into Lon
don, the Queen sent her as present a
white bonnet, with the request that she
would wear it on the occasion of her
first appearance before the British
public. Now, Queen Victoria, amongst
her many noble and estimable qualities
does not number that of taste in dress.
and the bonnet in question was simply
hideous, and unbecoming as well to its
destined wearer. The Duchess wore
the bonnet, and was pronounced
fright in consequence by the spectators,
who had expected to see lady rivalling
in lovelinesS and grace their beloved
Princess of Wales. Naturally, she has
never forgiven her Majesty for the i'll
timed gift and quarrels about pre-
cedence. {" Jingoism," and other ex-
have naturally tended to
widen the breach. But the bonnet and
he unfavorable impression that it
helped to create notwithstanding, the
Duchess Of Edinburgh is by no means
looking. She has a most |
ovely complexion, fine blue eyes, and
! well shaped intellectual brow, and
,ut for an undue heaviness in the
mould of the lower part of her face,
he would be very handsome woman.

DEAR GRANDMOTHER.
Grandmother PAGES with stately tread
Forward and backward through the qua


Grandmother PAGES with stately tread
Forward and backward through the quaint
old ROOM
Out of the freight dancing and red,
Into the gathering dusk and gloom;
Forward and back, in her silken dress,
With its falling rutties of frost-like lace;
A look of the deepest tenderness
In the faded lines of her fine old face.
Warm on her breast in his red nlghtgown,
Like a scarlet lily the baby lies,
While softly the tired lids droop down
Over the little sleepy eyes.
Grandmother sings to him sweet and low
And memories come with the cradle song
Of the days when she sang it long ago,
When her life was young and her heart was
strong.
Grandmother's children have left her now,
The large old house is a shadowed place;
But shining out in the sunset glow
Of her life, like star, comes the Daby's
face.
He lies where OF old his father lay;
Softly she sings him the same sweet strain,
Till the years Intervening are swept away,
And the joys of life's morning are hers
again.
Grandmother's grey head is bending low
Over the dear little downy one;
The steps of her pathway are few to go;
The baby's journey is just begun.
Yet the rosy dawn of his childish love
Brightens the evening that else were dim;
And in after years, from her home above,
The light of her blessings will rest on him.

For if was (but 1 was not y wrong,

What else has a woman to offer you?
Love might not last for thousand years,
You know, though the stars should rise sc

Oh, You, you talk in mans great way
So love would last though the stars should
fall?
Why yes Ifit last to the grave, indeed,
After the grave last on it may
But-in the grave? Will its dust take heed
Ofanything sweet-or the sweetest of all
All. death is nothing. It may be so.
Yet, granting at least that death is death
pray look at the rose, and hear the bird),
Whatever il is-We must die to know!
Sometime We may long to say one word
Together-and find we have no breath.

To hide from the passion of human pain.

enough. I have no doubt he will be a
good husband to you."
"And is it possible !" exclaimed the
now indignant bride, that I have
united myself to an obscure creature,
far beneath my station-when | might
have married several eongressmen-
that is, one at a time-and yet this OBJ
scure man is to be instantly received by
my family as if he were senator or a
government contractor Oh-eternal
shame -
The colonel glared.
Ellen you forget yourself" j." inter-
posed the old lady.
1" And you-oh, most deceitful of
mankind -perfdious, mendacious, base
impostor deludemy unsophisticated

worthy of me-and 1 find at last that
you are nothing but a mere contempti-
BILE, respectable clerk in the treasury.
L loathe common, decent-I-I-Oh
monster, leave my presence and pollute
not my sight.
And then, as no one made any reply,
she gave terrific shrek, and fell on
the sofa, and kicked like a mule.
The old lady became seriously alarmed
at this, and called in the family physi-
cian-a hard-hearted old sinner-who
diagnosised the case, and prescribed that
Sophie should be promptly turned out
of doors for marrying beneath her sta
tion, etc., etc., in true romantic style.
1t almost broke the mothers heart to
do this, but it was done. Of course
Sophie became reconciled to her hus-
band instanter, and the next day they
were sent for and forgiven in proper
form. 1t was not just the thing, of
course; but as Augustus Octavius
Caesar turned out to be a good hus-
band, and had sense enough to know
that all she needed was one or two
he soon took all the nom
sense out of her, and they settled

her eyes at the chief, and asked, in a
voice that reminded one of the sharpen.

"Why didn't you say so when asked
you ?''
"I did,"
&" You didn't, sir; and if you don't
treat me like lady, I'll fold you up
and sit down on you," and she snapped
her eyes some more like a terrier.
"What do you want ?'' asked the
official, looking as if he needed rein
forcements right away, and plenty of
them.
" I want that dirty little whelp what
married my darter. want to talk to
him on business, but he evades me. If
I could only get chance to caress him
once more ~ and she breathed hard
and gritted her teeth, until the official
felt in his pocket for police whistle.
What did he do 2''
He told my darter that he would
give 320 acres of land, with gold
mine on it, to anybody that would am
pertate my jaw with boot-jack. He
said my mouth was like the gate at the
fair grounds.
He meant, I suppose, it was never
shut. I don't see how he ever come to
make such a ridiculous comparison as
that. Did you ever demonstrate with
him.
I" You bet 1 did. 1 drawed him
across the kitchen table by the hair
with one hand, while basted him with
a long-handled skillet, and you should
have heerd him calling me mother
darling and pet, but Providence was
agin me. His hair gave way, and he lit
out before I could reason with him any
more. just as like as not we will never
meet again." and she sighed heavily.
Be calm, madam do not excite
yourself too much.''
''I am calm. 1 like to talk about
these family secrets. 1t calls up sacred |
1t makes me think of
my darter's first husband. 1t was real
fun to demonstrate with him. His har
didn't give. He sassed back, but,
Lord what time they had holding the
inquest. That was at Arkansas, before
[ moved to Galveston. There was
'ome of his remains in one corner of
he yard, and few more remains hang

brought in a verdict of justifable sui

The official said he would hunt for
