A contemporary says: When we
read over the programme of a ssacred

feelings OF the devil. It is hardly
treating him right to steal all his tunes

A Cross BABY.-Nothing is so con-
ductive to a mans remaining bache-

house of married friend and being
kept awake for five or six hours by the
crying of a cross baby. All cross and
crying babies need only Hop Bitters to
make them well and smiling. Young
man remember this.-Traveller.

COOKING CABBAGE.-We all know
how disagreeable is the odor of cab
bage or turnips when cooking; SO dis
agreeable, in fact, that many house
keepers dispense with their use rather
than make the house SO uncomfortable.
But the evil can be remedied almost
entirely by dropping a lump of char
coal in the water in which these vege-
tables are boiled. When boiling green's,
tie lump of bread (the size of hens
egg up in clean cloth, and put into
the kettle. 1t will absorb all offensive
odor.

Mr.. Peacock's Entertainment.

The dinner served by Mr.. and Mrs. Pea
cock, at the Middletown Hotel, on Friday
evening Of last week, was an enjoyable
social event that all who were present will
remember with pleasure for long time.
The repast was an inviting one, the bill of
fare embracing long list of delicacies such
as oysters on the halfshell, boiled rockfish,
turkey with oysters, fried oysters, stewed
oysters, terrapin, chicken salad, vegeta-
bles, cakes, custards, pies, fruits, nuts and
wines. Nearly fifty guests, including rep
resentatives of many of the best-known
families of st. Georges hundred, sat down
to this repast and had a pleasant social
feast. Amid cheerful converse and flashes
of wit the good things were attended to in
order. The host moved about among his
guests seeing that none of them, through
bashfulness, should fail to do justice to his
bountifully spread board. At the conclu-
sion of the repast the guests were invited
to the parlor, where they duly organized
themselves INTO deliberative body by
calling Col. Joshua Clayton, of Thomas,
to the chair, and selecting Hon. h. X.
Cochran as secretary. After compli-
mentary remarks in behalf Of the host and
his good lady by Mr.. Joseph Roberts and
others, the chair, on motion, appointed
committee, consisting of Messrs. J. L.
Gibson, Joseph Roberts, II. A. Nowland,
Jos. G. Brown, w. r. Cochran, w. n. Will
son, and E. R. Cochran, to prepare reso-
Iutions expressing thanks to the host and
hostess of the Middletown Hotel for their
most excellent entertainment. The COM
mittee withdrew and soon returned with
the following:
ReSoIUed, That the sincere thanks of the
whole assemblage is hereby heartily ten
dered to the honorable host and hostess of
Middletown Hotel, for the splendid en-
tertainment they have given to their
friends and we congratulate this commu-
nifty on having 50 trustworthy host and
hostess among them.
Middletown transcript., 1882-01-27
Estbetics.

There is a great deal in the papers now
about aesthetics and sestheticism. The
TRANSCRIPT hasn't said much about the
subject up to date because it has had more
important matters on hand and hasn't felt
that it could grasp the subject just where
it wanted to and hold it up so its readers
could get good view Of it, and under
stand it. AS Oscar Wilde will probably
not visit the Peninsula to enlighten us on
sestheticism-at dollar an enlighten-we
find that we must book up little on the
subject or get left behind. Noah Webster
defines Esthetics, briefly, as the " science
of the beautiful" Very good. Every
body should love the beautiful, and when
there is any spare time left from the sober
duties of life, such as cutting off the days
fre-wood and chasing neighbor's COW
out of the front yard, why should we not
devote it to study Of the beautiful ? Now,
for instance, sunset is a grand thing.
When the orb of day drops behind vail
of f1eecy vapor and bathes the Western
horizon in gold and crimson, what is more
JildIl bilttly petl llSAAidllJ w q
man who has worked hard all the after
noon on the farm and feels premonition
that he is going to have fried chicken and
Maryland biscuits for supper? But he
don't stop to study that sunset. The gold
and crimson is lost on him. He wouldn't
pay cent yard for it. But aestheticism
teaches him that he should forget all about
the fried chicken and Maryland biscuit and
the longing beneath the second button
from the bottom of his vest, and sit down
on stump and study that sunset for all it
is worth till the curtain falls on the last
scene. There are some good points about
the aesthetic, if we understand him. For
instance, he would not maintain an ash
barrel by his front door, throw old hoop
skirts i'll his back yard or paint directions
to "Use Smiths Vermifuge," on his
neighbours front fence. This much and
some other things the aesthetic don't do we
can admire him for, but when he parts his
hair in the middle and goes prancing
around in knee breeches, with a lily in
his hand and far-off look in his eye, like
that of man who has left all his small
change at home and don't want to see the
church collection basket, we think he
ought to be arrested on suspicion of being
a lunatic. And as for the female sesthet-
les, let them cultivate a taste for the beauti-
full. They have right to do as they
please, and they'll do as they please
whether they have the right or not. Men
will love them better for studying to make
their homes beautiful, for putting away
the weeks washing in proper places, and
for seeing that the color Of the crust Of the
bread is not too dreadfully intense. We
are not right sure that we understand this
aesthetic business thoroughly, but if we
do, we think it is a pretty good thing if it
is not carried to excess.

State,

PROT Groves will hold an examina-
ton of teachers at Smyrna tomorrow.
= 1t is stated that only 919 European
emigrants settled in Delaware last year.
A debating society has been organized
at Downs Chapel, and they have begun
business by discussing the gentle savage's
right to the soil.
= John J. Rosa, of Kent, VIM. Dean,
of New Castle, and Col. A. S. Small, Of
Sussex, have been appointed by Governor
Hall to attend the meeting of the National
Agricultural Association, to be held in
New York City, February l, 2 and 3.
R. r. Morrison, of New Castle, was
awarded on Saturday last the contract for
building the bridge over Old Duck creek,
near Bombay Hook. The work is being
done by the Duck Creek Improvement
Company. The bridge or roadway will
be half mile above the old "stopping"
and four miles below the Woodland Beach
Hotel. The creek is 100 feet wide at this
point and II feet deep at low water
Smyrna Times.
= John Truitt and John Monroe, alias
John Johnson, were committed to New
Castle Jail on Tuesday on a charge of steal
ing meat from Andrew Spear, near Smyr-
ma. The meat was found by Constable
Weldin hid under the leaves in Blackbird
hundred. The farmers of lower New
Castle and upper Kent will be glad to
know that at least two of those who have
been committing petty depredations upon
their winter stores have been caught.
= There have been several cases of
smallpox among the colored people re-
siding in the suburbs of Smyrna, and con-
sequently considerable uneasiness among
the people of the town. The local board
of health promptly took the matter in
hand, isolated the infected families, and
provided means for general vaccination.
No new cases have recently developed and
owing to these prompt measures of the
board of health there is now little danger
that the pest will further spread. Here is
an illustration Of the value of an efficient
board of health. Will not our Town Com
missioners give this matter the serious at
tention it deserves and provide Middle
town with board Of health?
