Newport Letter In Boston Transcript
Many of you must have received among
other Christmas tokens delicate, exquisite
sprays of the lily of the valley, doubly
sweet aud trebly precious at this season
All of them came from Newport. saw
late order, after Boston was thought sup
piled, for many hundreds more and saw
them packing. Of course, l expended a
little sentiment over them and would like
to have seen each's destination. Long
ago each bulb was raised in Germany; it
crossed the sea, found rest for a little
time here, bloomed under the loving care
Of our German florist and yesterday
reached its fruition and tomorrow it will
be dead. Four years it took to bring that
flower to perfection which yesterday
brought you a Christmas greeting, told
you some story its giver meant it should.
or perhaps went into tired hand at rest
forever. saw seventy thousand of these
lilies in the green house yesterday in diff
ferent stages, all showing green leaves and
many wide opened bells. Fifty-twO hun
dred went to New York and l do not know
how many to Boston.
There are four thousand tulips set out
in the same house and thousands of these
went to the great cities. Every bulb came
from Holland. 1t is the loveliest Of sights
to go down this long aisle in the lily house
with borders OF fragrant green and white
flowers, SO pure in color and perfume, each
blossom literally worth its weight in gold.
These flowers 60 from here to every great
city, especially to New York, Philadelphia,
Boston and Washington, and fortunately
they-will keep three times as long as rose,
and are therefore much sought after.

Court House Cloc 4 Stopped.

The court house clock came to a stand
still at 11:25 this morning. The cold
weather is no doubt the cause. There is
a large circular opening below the clock.
through which move tho cords with the
weights attached. A cold draft passes up
through this opening, which has contract
ed some metallic parts of the clock and
stificncd the oil, thus preventing the wheels
from going round. The necessary repairs
were made before o'clock this afternoon.

THE TABLES TURSED.-The Radi-
cal papers yesterday went into costa.
sizes over the election Of Mr.. Elmer
W. Clark, as one Of the Trustees of
New Castle Common. They held Mr..
Clark's election up as great triumph
over the Democratic party Of that
growing little city. The tables are
turned upon them completely this
morning by the excellent card from
Mr.. Clark in another column, in
which he returns his thanks to s'Mr.
Wm. Herbert and his personal Demo-
cratic friends who kindly voted" for
him. Mr.. Clark is very right in his
sentiment. The New Castle Com
mons is the property of the town, for
the benefit Of all the people. 1t has
been well preserved, and we can
readily understand how Mr.. Herbert
and other Democrats of the Board OF
Trustees desire the advice and assist
of such gentlemen as Mr. Clark,
whom we know to be most estima-
bic man, deeply interested in the pros
perity of the hourishing city Of New
Castle.

TEE "NEw NAyH."-The New
York Herald in an article upon the
"NeW Navy" advocates the building
of none but hrst-class vessels Of iron
and steel, that can make over fiftseE
knots an hour, or faster time than any
war ships ahoat urges that they
should be built by contract, and names
Wilmington and Chester as the places
where they will probably be erected.
So far the Herald is quite right. We
want no iron clad hulks such as those
of England and France that cost two
and three millions of dollars, and are
likely to 60 to the bottom Of the sea
at every discharge Of their guns, car
rying their e-ews and the labor OF
Thousands Of men with them.
But we differ with the Herald as Il
the armament Of the New Navy" In
stead of only one gun, as that paper
advocates for the fast sailers, WI
would urge four one on bow anc
stern, and one on each side. W,
would not like TO hear of an American
ship having only one gun and beins
put TO disadvantage because Of tha
being ou: of order. Now let the new
Navy be Of the best and fastest build
and in all things superior. We d,
not think they are likely TO be needed
But still if We have Navy we wisl
to see it Of the best possible character
Heretofore most of our most servicea
BILE ships have been built after ou
difficulties commenced,

THE READING R. K. CosTEsT.-This
is the third day of the election of the
Reading Railroad Company, and it is
doubtful whether the contest will be
ended before tomorrow. The ballot
ing closed yesterday with 165, 726
shares for the GoWen ticket, 81, $50 Of
which were challenged and 540O for
the Bond ticket. 1t is said that Mr.
Twill get $4,000 votes from VIM. H
Vanderbilt, and on the other hand it
is stated that Mr.. Vanderbilt has
offered to sell his shares to the Penn.
sylvania Railroad Company. Mr..
Bond claims that shoulG Mr.. Gowen
get all the votes he claims his ticket
will not be elected, because the Court
will declare enough of them illegal
TO throw the election ia favor of The
Bond ticket. This is not certain.
however, aud the Philadelphia people
hope otherwise, since they begin to
fear the Pennsylvania road IS becom-
ing too much of a monopoly.
