WEARY WOMAN.
By BESSIE VIcToR.

"Why is this, thus" and in point Of
fat, is it true of woman more than OF
man? The work of this world seems
to me to be about equally divided be-
tween the two sexes, and we fully as
often see "weary men," as s'weary wo-
men," especially among our farming
population. How many days during
the year does the farmer, or IN fact any
other business man, spend in idleness 2
Probably, about as many as his wife
does, and frequently fewer. There are
women, l am sorry to say, who are
what is vulgarly called gad-a-bouts
and we meet them about as often as
we meet a street loafer, which is great
deal too often. True, great many
women literally "work themselves to
DEATH" and it is also true that men do
the same thing. Look around you and
see if you can select any one from
among your circle of acquaintance OF
the male sex, who Is immersed, soul
and body, in his business, and at the
same time has, what is usually termed
.'agood. time" / venture to say he
spends as many hours in hard, weary
ing, nerve-destroying ozark, as his wife.
l do not undertake to deny that
the lot of many women, is too hard for
Door human nature to bear but who is |
TO blame for it Sometimes it is the |
fault of the husband, brother or son,
but more frequently it is the fault oil

DESTINY.

Encircled by the cooling clVud-land drifts.
\ tiny spring know, scarce two hands wide
whers green and fair.the lofty mountain lifts
ats forest banners high in conscious pride.
Two baby brooklets Issuing from this fount,
Moved by ahand unseen, in kindness pressed,
Flow winding down on either side the mount,
And reach, by paths remote, the seif-same rest.
Two children play upon the village green,
Their chubby hands are clasped, they kiss and go;
Then all their live an ocean rolls between
AT las. they meet where churchyard daisies grow.
Asnvers course through weary winding ways,
Forever onward, onward. to the sea,
80 course thy feet and mine through all our days.
Beneath the guiding star of destiny.
Aye up and down, through all liie's may folds,
As sweep and sway and rule the tides the sea,
A hand unseen so sweeps and sways and holds.
And rules the hearts and lives OF you and me.

The Egyptian gunners were taken
from better class of the population
than the infantry, and the officers of
the artillery, being trained in a
school commanded by an intelligent
Frenchman, are decidedly superior
to the officers of the cavalry and the
line. But all except the black sold
ier5 have bad eyeoight. 1t is difficult
to meet an Egyptian soldier whose
vision Is not more or less defective.
Soldiers who can see through rifle
sights Tor u greater distance than a
few rods are extremely rare The
eyes of the black troops are much
better than those OF the feIlaheen ),
under the same conditions they
make from 30 to 40 per cent. more
hits on the target than their Egyp-
tian comrades. This superiority is
as much due to the Negroes nerve,
confidence and edgerness to excel as
to his better eyesight.

That the Democratic party will, by 'ard

That It is laughable to even think Of see
ing Currey come to be Governor.
That Democratic energy and acute Lore
will always come out ahead of cast-iron
cheek
That Harrington often, In his private
closet, must frequently exclalm ''The safe
nonsense be blowed."
That Ohio's cyclone Is coming this way
with rapidity that takes the breath out Of
the Republicans.
That the Republicans will find their
''hastings" little too early In the season.
just wee bit previous as il were.
That Harrington and the rest of the crew
will need something more than a new con-
stitution after November
That with money the Jay Hubbell gang
hope 20 put some cents in their dollarous
campaign.
That Bird on the rostrum doesn't sing
the same song as a Bird in a supplement.
That all is not lovely in the Republican
ranks when an alleged editor foully insults
his contemporary Of the same faith.
That the present fight is between cheek
and lucre on the one side and honest men
and principle on the other.
That 1t is the prevailing custom of Re

Personal Comparisons.

II Mr.. Hastings acts in accordance with
the high moral character and gentlemanly in
stincts we have freely given him the credit Of
possessing, he will promptly strangle any
further attempt on the part of his morn
ing organ to institute invidious personal |
comparisons between himself and his
opponent, Mr.. Lore. As far as
candidates are concerned, the cam
paign has not been a personal one on
the part Of the GAZETTE by any means. We
have had naught to say against the charac-
ter ofany man on the Republican ticket,
but have simply charged that most of them
owe their nominations to the in
huence and support of that element
of the Republican party which
large majority of our people, regardless of
political convictions, would regret to see in
power. While we have not only charged,
but proved conclusively, that Mr.. Hastings
nomination was effected at a meeting of
iactional leaders in this city and merely
given formal ratification by the
State Convention we have never
uttered word against his personal
character, or given any indica-
tion that we believe him to be other
than an honorable gentleman, whom We OPP
pose simply because he represents political
methods and sentiments at variance with
those we hold to be best calculated to ad-
vance the interests of our State. Mr.. Lore,
we know to be a gentleman, In all that the
word Implies, man of signal ability, and
as completely representative of the
" morality of the Stat" as Mr.. Hastings or
any other man in Delaware.
Comparisons are odious" at all times
But when two men of the personal character
and good repute Of Mr.. Lore and Mr.. Hast
ings are politically arrayed against each
other, we feel sure the community will re-
sent any attempt to hold up one 10 the
light of an unfaverable public criticism,
particularly in "moral " point of view,
at the expense of the other. As far as the
candidates are concerned, this campaign Is a
battle of principles, not men, and
as the principles of the Republican party
are represented more by few constituted
bosses than by the candidates, we have
scrupulously refrained from saying any
thing that could be construed into an assault
upon The personal characters of the latter,
while we have unsparingly exposed the
former in a manner that the morning organ
dares not resent or deny.
We hope, therefore, for the sake of that
decency which all good men delight to up
hold that Mr.. Hastings will appreciate thu
force of these remarks, and bid his NOR ming
organ to indulge no more in personal com
parsons which we feel sure hi
sense of honor would prevent hin
him from STOPPING to himself. The cam
Paign is nearly at an end, and there is n
use, at this late day, in employing method
that would allow bitterness of persona
feeling to detract from the glory of victor
or add to the sorrow of defeat.

The Democratic meeting In the Grand

thusiastic rally, and the hundreds Of earnest,
thoughtful Democrats who crowded the
building TO its utmost capacity gave ample
evidence Of the interyention Of The Demo
cracy Of wIlmington % win ! victory IN the
city on the seventh Of November.
John o'Byrne, Rsq., a former resident Of
Wilmington, but now Of New York, re-
ceived royal welcome from his old fellow
citizens, and delivered one Of the most
forceful and effective speeches ever listened
TO in this city. We invite everybody to
carefully peruse the full synopsis of his re-
marks published in to-day's paper.
Major Benjamin T. Biggs, who followed
Mr.. O'Byrne, was In his happiest mood, and
exceeded even the best of the many notable
campaign efforts that have made him such
favorite with the Democracy Of this city.
Els pungent hits were greeted with roars OF
laughter, while his resounding blows at the
holshams of Republicanism evoked storms
of applause.
Large and enthusiastic meetings have
been q feature of the Democratic campaign
this fall, and they indicate that the party Il
alive TO the importance of the battle and
will poll its fullest vote in November. And
this means sweeping majority In city
county and State.
