THE GREAT ToLITlCAL battle of
Delaware for this year will be fought
in New Castle County. On a fair hon.
est vote the Republicans would have at
least one thousand majority. But this
cannot be counted upon if the ballot
boxes are to be debauched by gangs of
paid repeaters. Already there are in
dications that repeater gangs are being
organized and prepared for the contest
Thousands of Democrats have been re-
turned as deliuquents in the city, but
they will all turn up at the election
polls with tax receipts in one hand and
Democratic tickets in the other, and
they will swell the Democratic vote.
This has to be met and con nteracted by
straight.out Republican votes. The
Republicans cannot vote del nquents
and repeaters, and have no desire to do
so. They must depend on nothing but
an honest vote. With that the d mo-
cratic horde of deliuquents and repeat
ers can he defeated, but every Repnbli,
can voteis needed to he'll in the defeat
Republicans, assess yourselves and
take a part in the victory that awaits
the party. Only Tuesday, Thursday
and Friday are left for the enrolling OF
your names. Don't forget that.

ANOTHER SUDDEN and somewhat
surprising change in newspaper pub
fishing in Wilmington is announced.
Messrs. Bell and Taylor of the Sunday
Star, have,it is currently reported, pur-
chased the good will and fixtures OF the
Gazette, and will take possession of it
at an early day, and they will then
publish three papers, the Star and
Weekly and Daily Gazette. This is Il
big jump up the ladder of Wilmington
journalism by our YOUNG and enter
prising friends, aud we wish them sue
cess in their enterprise.

NEW JERSEYS veto Governor has
again distinguished Himself, but this
time no. in such manner as to gain
the plaudits of honest people. He has
clearly made a mistake this time. So
long as he confined himself to sitting
down hard or corporations without
conscience or souls, he was TO be COM
mended, but when he turns aside to
encourage a sugar fraud he should re.
ceive the hearty and earnest condem.
nation of every honest man in the
country. The last veto checks an
effort on the part of the Legislature to
punish the selling of a chemical com.
pound called glucose for sugar. The
bill required an article called sugar
made from grapes TO be labeled grape
sugar" that the people when they
bought might know they were not pur-
chasing the product of the sugar cane or
beet plant The Governor not only bold
ly takes the ground that such secret
mixture is not adultera,ioD, but he
gives glucose a first class official recon
mendation by calling it "a healthful
article Of food" This seems like an
overstrained effort in behalf of the
''dear people"

the State Superintendent OF Public
Schools, James H. Groves, of a very
handsomely bound copy of digest of
all the school laws of the State. 1t was
prepared by Secretary of State, James
l.. Wolcott, under an act of the Legis-

as being correct. 1t contains much in

mans day in Pennsylvania, no less
than five culprits being usLered into
eternity from the gallows in that State.
A hanging also took place at Angelica,
New York, max ing the sixth victim for
the day, so far as we have heard from
and yet there are many dissatisfied that
Delaware did MOI add another TO the

Lynch aud Vandyke.

Plrnell j. Lynch, the col ector, and
W S. VandyBe, the assessor OF st.
Georges Hundred, STOOL close by Mr..
Polk, yester day in the Levy Court
watching the assessments, tearing the
name Of some Republican ON 81.
Georges Hundred might be placed
upon the assessment list without trcu-
bic These gentlemen must know ev-
cry name in St. Georges Hundred oy
heart by this time-if look ing and por'
ing over half assessment of the people
is any assistance to the :Aemory. Inc
monotony of the court session If MOTH
ing exciting is going on is relieved by
these two faithful attendants of Mr..
Folks, by stro.ling leisurely back and
forth from the court room to the retlr-
ing room, MI. Vandyke with thumbs
thrust through capacious arm, holes,evi.
IDENTIFY well pleased with the distran-
chi ,ement of some two hundred COL
ored men in St. Georges. Mr.. Van
dykes extra assessment is model Of
how not to do thing a man is sworn
to do. In the West District of st.
Georges he has actually found one col
ored man by the name Of William
Black, which he placed upon the assess
ment, " lille in East st. Georges by dill
gent search he has been able to find six
colered men whom he assessed, and if
these men had not by their industry
become possessed of little frecholds, Mr..
Vandyke would hardly have found
them, Another Democratic Legisla-
ture will net have done its duty until
it gives the DISTINGUISHING screw another
twist and comes to tho assistance of
such assessors as Mr.. VaDdS Ike to en-,
able them, then to leave off even all free
holders who are not possessed of free
hold worth twoor three thousand dol
lars. Such screw of the dist anchising
machine would pretty etfectuaily
squelch out the colored Republicans If
St. Georges. What must be the
thoughts of nan who only found one
colored man to assess in district, from
which some forty came all the way
to the Levy Court at great loss of time
and at heavy expense 30 have their
names placed upon the assessment? Is
it possible that Mr.. Vandyke could
only find one black man qualified to be
assessed, out of all that number? And
yet, would you believe it, Mr.. Van
dyke has made solemn oath 20 his re-
turn, that he has made faithful and
true assessment of tho taxables of West
st. Georges, so far as came TO his knowl-
edge. Then We have to fail back on the
knowledge of MI Vardyke. There are
yet extenuating circum stances for him,
and we will not be severe on him
on account of his want of knowl-
edge. A man whose knowledge ex-
tended to Only one colered man in a
District where two hurdred are unas-
sessed is to be pi1ied ra her than CEN
sured, and after all the Democrats of
St. G. orges are to be comptimented in
finding man for assessor who has
knowledge Of only ore colorcd man
in district where the coored men lack
but fraction of being as nun erous as
the whites. St. Georges Democrats
might 60 one better at tLeneAt election
by electing an assessor who has no
knowledge of even one coored man in
West ST. Georges District. Mr.. Van
dyke may be very good citizen, kind,
obi. ging and affable, but he certainly
sexcels as a Democratic assessor.

Chapped Hands.

Chapped hands are sometimes really
quite an affection, and always an ans
noyance. The tendency to them y
caused by deficiency in the oil, which
is constantly being poured out on the
surface, for the purpose of keeping the
skin soft and supple.
This lubrcating oil must not be con-
founded with perspiration, which IS
waste matter eliminated from the blood.
The former is secreted by minute glands
imbedded in the true skin (cutis vera)
which is situated beneath the scarf-skin,
or epidermis.
|, This scarf-skin is very thin and trans
parent, and has very little vitality,
having neither blood-vessels nor nerves.
It needs constant oiling to keep it from
cracking. When sound, it protects, not
only the nerves and vessels Of the true
skin, but, to some extent, the whole
body. For, thin as. it is. it prevents the
absorption of harmful substances.
1t is for this reason that, in vaccina-
ton, the vaccine matter must be insert
ed beneath it, where it is readily taken
up and detfused through the system.
When the scarf-skin is chafed, or
scratched, or other wise broken, various
kinds of poison, often resulting fatally,
may be readily absorbed, as in the
case of physicians opening assesses,
or conducting post-mortem examlna-
ton. - .-..- ..--..-..-,. ....s.. 80
Now this is point we wish to en-
phasize, VIZ, when ones hands are
chapped, he is always more or less
liable to absorb poisonous matter into his
system-in the handling, say, Of putrid
meat, or in the washing of clothes from
! sick room, or dressing some foul sore.
! Where the surface Oil is deficient, it
Y is apt to be washed off, especially with
WARN water, faster than it is secreted.
4 But the difficulty is greatlyincreased by
the alkali (soda or potash) Of the soap,
which not only takes up the oil, but
actually eats through the = epi'dfermis.
l. 1t, The best help for chapped hands is,
having washed them thoroughly before
, retiring, to rub them over with mutton
taIlow and wear through the night a
, pair Of easy -setting leather gloves. Per-
! sons in whom the tendency to chap is
not so strong, may keep their hands in
= condition by an occasional resort to this
I ment.-Artbur's Magazine..

A Strange Marriage.

A strange marriage occurred IN South
Arkansas, recently. Some time ago
Miss Hampton, beautiful young lady,
and wealthy young farmer named
Rockton, were married. The young
lady could not have been termed
"happy BRIDE She had never loved
Rockton, and only married him to please
a widowed mother. My happiness
depends upon this union, the widow had
said "You have always been dutlful
child, and know you will not refuse to
marry man who devotedly loves you.
You may not love him now, my child,
but that deep devotion which is always
the offspring of kindness will make you
happy.
II will obey you," replied the girl,
"but do not even like Mr.. Rockton.
There is nothing in sympathy between
us. He is wealthy; but while poverty
always brings misery, yet wealth does
not always bring happiness. You know
that am devoted to Tom Rosemond,
and that he is devoted to me; but if you,
| as my mother, command me, will obey,
even though the effort cost me my life
as well as my happiness
The ceremony was performed. Pale,
and with a settled expression of despair,
the girl promised to ''iove, honor and
obey" Rockton was happy. The girl 5
mother had realized a long-cherlshed
dream. Rosemond, who would have
been the girls choice, left the neighbor-
hood. Rockton and his wife began
keeping house. Six months afterward
Rosemond returned and sent Mrs. Rock
ton a note, begging an interview. She
| showed the note and her answer of re-
fusal to her husband. He kissed her as
a reward of fide lily. Rather a thin re-
ward. Rockton was taken sick with
