LITERARY NOTES.

We turn over the pages OF the autumn
number OF Srd,ebride 6 Clothiei's Quarterly
with genuine surprise that so really good
a magazine can be sold for fifteen cents
a copy. Here are a 100 large pages,
which we have turned backwards and
forwards without meeting a page with
no picture upon 1t. We can well believe
the statement of the publishers that each
number contains one thousand illustra-
tiops. The contents of tho present
number are ushered.in With frontis-
piece representing startled pair, say
ing, "What's thatp being a lithogra-
phi c reproduction OF the painting by ii.
Woods. As usual the majority of the
articles in the literary part OF the Quarterly
is devoted to fashion, home art and needle
work. The ladies are told how to make
crochet Jacket ami petticoats; the capucbin
hoods; iniants' long cloaks, and new capes
and mantelets, Then, IN tho decoration OF
the home, they have explained to them en-
broidered lsmbrequins, canvas embroidery,
tidy on java canvas, applique cushion GEN.
tire, fancy work-basket, Russian work
various borders, oak Leaf lace, and i'm
| itation antique lacee. Amateur artists
will be interested In initiation enamelng,
which is described; as well as drawing with
| the pen, subject of increasing intereGt aud
value. The dressmakers have been con-
| sidered In this number, and a page OF new
| notions and diagrams Is the result. Fashion
| gossip goes over wide range of subjects,
and in addition there are articles ON autumn
| wraps; how to arrange pleats; and one upon
| gymnastic costumes. Johns Wife, who
made our acquaintance in the spring, con-
tinues to find something to say; she tells her
| experience of the horse as medicine, In other
words, advocates horseback riding as cure
ior consumption.
Other articles In this number are house
plants in autumn, health of children, home
made bread, and table furniture. The Caterer
continues TO conduct the kitchen page in a
creditable manner. We are pleased TO notice
that the publishers with commendable en-.
terprise have secured as a musical feature
for this number waltz by w. W. Gilchrist
the talented American composer, whose
"46th Psalm" received the prize at the
Cincinnati Musical Festival, and who
was the director Of the May Musica
Festival, held this year in Philadelphia
In the fashion diyi.ion of the magazine va
Tious descriptions of dry goods are Illus
trated in faithful and artistic manner
! From these pages ladies can choose pa,ternl
and prices with more case and nearly a.
much satisfaction as would be obtained b,
a visit to the establishment of the publish
Q ers. Let those Of our lady readers VIII

THE MORNING ORGAN thinks that If call
the tramps, thieves and gamblers who now
infest Boston, New York, Wilmington, Bal
tinore, st. Louis, Chicago, and San Fran
cisco should be shipped to Australia these
cities would go Republican at almost every
election" We do not know anything about
the other cities, but 1t Is noteworthy fact
that as far as Wilmington is concerned, thil
city never had Democratic local govern
ment until after ex-Postmaster Lewis, ex-
Treasurer Killgore, and several private
thieves of Republican proclivities had 'left
the city for the eity's good"

HENRY IRVING and Miss Terry made their
debut before an American audience In New
York, last night, and were given recep-

the acknowledged representatives of the
legitimate drama in England, They made
good impression, and as their engagement
will doubtless All their pockets with
"shekels," they will return to England with
the idea that America is the best goose in the
world to stand ample and constant pluck

Some farmers rather reckon
they've got about all the rain
they exactly need Just now for
their standing crops, and we
don't know that our own is
suffering from any more at
present. But we're so glad
those Western cyclones haven't
struck a course this way. No
earthquakes or yellow fever or
terrible drought. Only plenty
OF water-cven though It's
nothing better than the Schuyl-
kill.
A lady declared ii it wasn't
for the rain she wouldn't have
spent half enough time in
selecting her housekeeping
things. and now she had done
splendidly and enjoyedan hour
or two in the galleries looking
around. That's what she
gained by the rain. And ther
tits such a comfort to know
nobody outside is suffering fol
want of moisture Aud we'r'
so thankful we have an.
weather at all. And there ar
SO many people who come t.
a store like this in any kind Q
weather-whether OF. no.

Chesapeake d Ohio Canal Manage
ment.

Commissioner Edmonds has addressed a
letter to Secretary Folger protesting against
the action Of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal
Company in denying the Government and
District representative on the board Of
directors.
The letter shows great indignation at the
course pursued by the company, claims
that the United States and local govern
ment are entitled to a representative, and
severely criticises the management of the
canal.
In contrasting the success of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad and the failure of the
canal, the letter says: "The canal COM
pany makes showing like gigantic
spendthrift of millions of stocks made
worthless, long arrears of unpaid interest
on its bonded debt of doubtful value, and
discouraged creditors appealing to the court
to condemn the management and take the
canal under its guardianship through re-
ceiver."
He then condemns the attitude of the
board as unusual, unbusiness like and not
| demanded in the interest of the canal. Had
the majority been brilliantly successful il
might claim that its absorption of all power
was wise and for the common good, "but
when failure is conspicuous no reason can
be found for such jealousy of power save in
considerations outside of canal interests"

Don't you speak to me-" said Davis. II
will speak to yon. Iwant to talk to you"
said Lamb. mo you WON'T" said Davis,
rounding out the sentence with
epithets, and Immediately drawing a
revolver and placing it almost against
Lambs chest. The Congressman threw up
the weapon with one hand and lodged as it
was discharged, the ball passing over his
shoulder and through a passing wagon,
lodging in the drivers foot, infictlng a
painful wound. Lamb went into the store
next door and Davis was taken in charge
by the bystanders. The cause of the at
tempt is attributed to occurrences growing
out of libel suit against the Express, in
which Davis appears for the prosecution
and Lamb for the defense.
