You,no doubt, Mr. Editor, know that the

In It's editorial columns q short time back
there was on article headed "Vile Shams,n

OF writing It's editorials has undertaken to
instruct and tell the editors and publishers
OF the press Of Delaware what kind of
articles they should publish and what they
should not publish TO make their journals
respectable, just as though he was more
competent TO judge of what should go into

to, no doubt would like 10 have our Legisla-

Censor, for tht determination of all articles
for newspaper publication at q salary Of
about S5, 900 per annum, and he to be ap-
pointed TO fill the place. Then he could

could sit with ease and In

without fear of wearing out the seat

The astronomer of the Providence journal
has much to say this month about Venus,
whose approaching transit across the face of
the sun is exciting the interest of scientific
men. She is evening star during August and
ia conspicuous object in the sky, being now
10 seconds in diameter and increasing steadi-
ly in apparent size until December, when her
diameter will be Ga seconds. Mars and
Uranus are also evening stars, but there is
nothing of special interest connected with
their movements during August. Saturn is
morning star, and is an interesting object
during the month. On the 18th, at o'clock
in the evening, he reaches his quadrature or
halfway house, and thenceforth until oppo-
sition he will be nearer the earth than the
sun. Telescopists are already at work OBJ
serving his rings, belts and moons they will
make the most of his present aspect COM
bining three favorable conditions, for his
rings are opening to their widest extent, his
perhelion is approaching, and his northern
declination is increasing. Students must bear
in mind that the same conditions will not oc-
cur again for thirty years. On the nights of
the 9th, 10th and 18th display of meteors
may be looked for. The earth then punges
through the August meteor zone, a gigantic
eclipse whose perihelion is within the earth's
orbit and whose Rphelon reaches beyond
the orbit of Neptune. The meteors shoot
from the constellation Perseus. Sometimes
the showers are very brilliant, almost rival
ing the famous November ones. These me-
teors are distinguished from those belonging
to other meteor systems by their yellow col
ors, and they leave behind them trails of lu-
minous vapor that often last several seconds
Poetry and superstition have given to the
August meteors the name of the fiery tears of
ST. Lawrence, because they occur on the an
niversary of the day made memorable by the
martyrdom OF the famous saint

The Cost Of Living.

[FrOm the Boston Herald.l
Prices have been very high during the last
year; so high, in fact, that many have con-
sidered panic imminent, as prices are al
ways greatly inflated just before a general
financial crash. There is much disquietude
among people who earn wages at the pre-
dctions of some that prices will remain very
high during the next year at least. Cattle
are very scarce, and meat and butter must
therefore be high in price for at least year
to come. There is good logic in this reason
ing, although the hay crop is SO abundant,
and there is promise of such vast grain
crop, that what cattle there are will be so
well fed that they will produce more butter
aud meat than many have estimated, so that
moderate decline in the price of those
commodities is not improbable. AS to the
prediction that the price of bread is to re-
main high because there is a war in Egypt,
drought in Australia, and short wheat crop
in England and France, it must be remem-
bered that England has never purchased To-
GOO, 900 bushels of wheat of us in year,
while, according to the estimates of experts,
we shall have a surplus of about 250, 000,O 900
bushels for expectation this year. The price
of wheat is not likely to be very low, but is
less likely to be very high. If drought and
early frosts do not prevent the fultlment OF
the present promise of the corn and potato
crops, the price of both will be moderately
low during the next year. The cost of liv-
ing, therefore, judging from the best indi-
cations of the present time, is not likely to
be very high during the next twelve months
Prices will probably be high enough to make
the farmers prosperous but not high enough
to Cypress the people who earn wages. If
the harvest of 1882 is all that it now prom
ses to be, the next year will be one of great
prospgrity in the United States.

RAILROADS AT THE WEST. Although rail
way building in the distant Western states
may be said to have just begun, they already
make an imposing show of completed roads,
with an immediate prospect of immense in
crease. Illinois still Stands first on the list
with Rbout ,igh,y-hye hundred miles of rail-
road. Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York fol-
low each with less than seven thousand miles,
while Iowa is fifth, and Texas sixth. The lat
ter state with its vast area, will undoubtedly
go to the front within few years, as the en-
ergy of railway magnatts becomes gradually
focused within her borders Massachusetts,,
the state in which the first mile of railway
track was laid, is now nineteenth on the list,
having but nineteen hundred and thirty five
miles. She will be overtaken this year by
Dakota, which now has about eighteen hun
bred miles. Rapid and colossal as the devel-
opment of the railway system of the country
has been, the summit will not be reached for
years to come. New roads are building and
old ones are being extended at the rate of ten
thousand miles a year. The aggregate of
railways in operation in the country now ex-
oeeds one hundred and ten thousand miles,
and this figure will be largely increased be-
fore the close of the present year.

How YANKEE Met Hrs MATCH Capt.
Farrow of Islesboro Me-, tells a good story
of himself, which occurred few years ago
while he was trading at Key West 1t was a
case where a Yankee was outwitted by a
Southerner. The captain was trading in a
small vessel, and had been up the coast to
Tampa bay, where he purchased 20 dozen
chickens, paying 50 per dozen. The chick
ems ran all the way in size from a few days
old to full grown ones At Key West hotel
landlord came alongside and asked the cap
tain how he sold his chickens. He replied !;
IF you pick them out, l shall charge you SO
per dozen if you let me pick them out you
can have them for So dozen" Gan right, "
said the hotel man; ''you pick them out. "
The captain selected several dozen of the
smallest, when the man said go ahead;
want more" The captain was now among
his largest fowls, and wished the man would
stop; but he still said go on" The cap
tain saw the point at last. The man kept him
selecting until he had purchased the entire lot
at a loss of $40 to the owner After this the
captain sold his chickens on different plan.

Tantah, the scene of the latest Egyptian
massacres, scarcely less fendish in their cruel
ty than those of Alexandria, is the capital of
the Gorbeeyeh provinces in the Delta. The
city is fifty-four miles north of Cairo, on the
Cairo and Alexandria railroad, and is the
third city in Egypt. 1t population is various
ly estimated at from CO. 600 to 100, 900 souls
In the military operations doubtless soon to
follow, TantAh will become an important
strategical point, and rallying centre for the
alherents OF Arabi for this unique city is the
capital of religious fanaticism in Lower Egypt
Its situation in about the middle OF the Delta
renders it easily accessible to those who go
there on the triennal religious pilgrimages to
celebrate the birthplace of great Moslem
saint, the Seyyid Ahmad El-Bedawee. At
these festivals 800, 900 to 500, 900 people gath
err and the scenes Of debauchery filth and
riot are ndescribable.

Jennie Boggs, aged 1G years, died rather
suddenly in Hagerstown, Md, ON Thursday
night, last week, at the residence of Mrs.
George FreAner, of an acute attack of cholera
morbus. About a week ago Jennie entered
Mrs. Freaner's room at an early hour in the
morning, and asked Mrs Froaner if she
knew who had cut oil her hair. 1t seems that
in the night some person had entered her
room, and while she WAS asleep had robbed
her of her tresses, which were noted for their
thickness and length. She said that she had
retired as usual, and on waking in the morn
ing found all the doors open and g draft pass
ing through her room. She did not miss her
tresses until after she had arisen and was
dressing. About week before this it is sup
posed that the same person entered the house,
and had almost obtained entrance into her
chamber She was awakened by the noise
and inquired as that you, Mrs Freaner ?"
whereupon the intruder made his escape
Whether she had been chloroformed by some
one avarcious Of her hair, or whether it was
the act of some jealous rival, were theories
advanced with equal warmth by different per-
sons. 1t seems, however that she was taken
violently ill with symptoms of cholera NOR
bus, aud, despite the best medical aid expir-
ed at about 1890 Thursday night She had
lived in the family of Mrs. Freaner for some
years, she having been taken from her moth
er in Baltimore, who had large family of
destitute children. She had many admirers,
and had been q most exemplary and indus

Marriage ola Daughter Of eA-secretary
RyartH,

The marriage of Miss Bette, the fourth
daughter of ex.Secretary Evarts, TO G. G..
Perkins of Boston, took place in st. Pauls
church, Windsor, at II O'Clock on Wednes-
day, in the presence of large assembly of
distinguished persons, among whom were
the historian George Bancroft, Judge Hoar
and family, Monsignor Doane and many 9th
ers. The ceremony was performed by Bish-
op Doane of Albany, assisted by Rev. E. II.
Goddard of Windsor. The bride was dress
ed in white silk, cut train, and veil, and en-
tered the church with her father, where she
was met at the chancel by the groom, where
they knelt in front of a book Of white flowers.
The party left for the White Mountains at
o'clock
