THE OLD READING GLASS,


Icannot tell you, Genevieve, how oft il comes
TO mo
That rather young old reading class in Dis
trict Number Three
That row Of ofelocutionists who stood so straight
in line,
And charged at standard literature with
anhiable design.
We did not spare tho energy in which our
words were clad;
We gave the meaning of tho text by all the
light we had
But still fear the ones who wrote the lines
we read 80 FREQ
Would scarce have recognized their work in
District Number Three.
Outside the snow was smooth and clean--the
winters thick-laid dust;
The storm it made the windows speak at every
sudden gust;
Bright sleigh-bells threw us pleasant words
when travellers would pass;
Tho maple trees along the road stood SILVER
4 ing in their class;
Beyond, the white-browel cottages woro nest
ling cold and dumb
And far away the mighty world seemed
reckoning us to come
Tho wondrous world, of which We connod
what had been and might be,
In thar old-fashioned reading class Of District
Number Three
We took hand at History-its affairs, spires
and flames
And uniformly mispronounced the most i'm
portant names;
NO wandered through Biography, and gavo
VI our fancy play,
And with some subjects fell in love-"good
only for one day."
In Romcaco end Philosophy we settled many
point,
And made what poems we nSsaied to creall of
oyory joint;
And many authors that we love- you with me
VIII agree,
Wc,c first time introduced to us in District
Number Three
You recollect Susannah Smith, tho teachers
sore distress,
Who never stopped at any pause-a sort Of
day express
And timid young Sylvester Jones, of incon-
sstent sight,
who stumbled on the easy words and read the
hard ones right2
And Jennie Green, whose doleful voice was
always clothed in blackl
And Samuel Hicks, whose tones induced the
plastering all to cracks
And Andrew Tubbs, whose various mouths
were quite show to seel
Alasl we cannot find them now in District
Number Three.
And Jasper Jenckes, whose tears would flow
at each pathetic word
Caes in the prize-fght business now, and hits
them hard, I've heard;
and Benny Bayne whose every tone he muir
INJURED as in fear
Oils tongue is not so timid now: he is an auc-
tioneel;
And Lanty Wood, whose voico was just en-
deavoring hard to change,
And leaped from hoarse to hercely shrill with
most surprising range;
Also his sister Mary Jane, so full of5prudish
glee.
Alasl they're both in higher schools than Dis
trict Number Three
so back these various voices come, though
long the years have grown,
And sound uncommonly distinct through
Memory's telephones;
And some are full ofmalody, and bring q sense
of cheer,
And some can smite the rock of time, and
summon forth tear
But one sweet voice comes bacl. to me, when
ever sad grieve,
And sings song, and that is yours, o peer
less Genevieve!
1t brightens up the olden times, and throws a
smile at mo
a silver star amid the clouds of District Mum
ber Three

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Opera House was well filled on Sat-
nrday evening to witness the performance
of Frank Mayo as Davy Crockett in the play
of that name. The play since Mr.. Mayo
presented 1t here last has been pruned some-
what, and, we think, not for the best. Still
it continues to hold the frapt attention oi an
audience, owing to the ile passages of pathos
in 1t. The company that supported Mayo
does fairly well although IL does not require
much ability in the support, except the char
actef of Eleanor iRdatgAn9 Miss Charlotte
Behren, who assumed that character ON Sat
urday night, did well, and was the recipient
OF merited applause. 6gg iIHs 4EaI
The Four Johns played to large audi
euce at the Odd Fellows Hall. Mr.. John
Turner showed to advantage on the end, as
did also Mr.. John Dooly. The speeialties
were all good, and Master Hahey took the
house by storm. by the neat execution of his
clog. McAvania and Butler also did some
good dancing and singing, The performance,
taken as whole, was very good one and
was appreciated very much by the audience.
On Saturday evening next the Madison
Square Theatre will produce s'Young Mrs.
Winthrop" with an exact copy of the new
and original scenery which caused SO much
comment In .fashinable circles when the
play was first presented. 1t is in the East
Indian style of decoration, and the material
for the scene at the Madison Square Theatre
was specially imported from India.

BUTLER's PROSPECTS.
CoIored Voters Deserving the Republican
Banner Every Day.


BosToN, Sept. 23.--The Democratic Con
vention at Springfield will not only be a
large one but will contain a much larger
proportion OF the representative men OF the
party than usual. The caucuses thus far
neld, including those of Boston, have
selected the 'ablest and most trusted leaders
of the Democracy, snd this fact is cited at
the party headquarters as evidence that the
convention VIII not be, as has been charged,
under the dictation of the Governor. 1t Is
announced that His Excellency will be
present. and that he has prepared vigorous
address which he will deliver.
The Republicans are striving In vain to
bring colored voters into line for Robinson.
1t is claimed that majority of them will
vote for Butler. A colored lawyer told a
Republican leader that large number of
colored men, in appreciation of the Gov
ernor's action in nominating Mr.. Waller
for the Charlestown Judgeship, would work
and vote for him, and that if the E: ecutive
Council should reject the nomination there
would be regular stampede OF the colored
vote from the Republican to the Democratic
ranks.
Ex- Representative Joseph O'NeilI, rep
resentative of the Young Democracy, said
yesterday that Butler would be elected by
$4,000. Representative jeremiah G. Fen
nessey, of Boston, says that Buffers ma
jority will equal the Democratic majority of
the city of Boston, which he predicts will be
more than 10000.
The Greenbaek State Convention will as
semble here Tuesday. That it will nom
mate Governor Butler Notwithstanding
the efforts of dissatisfied Greenback leaders
seems reasonably certain. 1It. u

terested should compromise the matter
before that time. The plaintiff In the case

Cafferty and man named Stroud cheating
him and SO declared, at the same time de-
manding his money back. McCafferty re-
fused and Beecher then vowed he would
have the place shut up and swore out q war
rant before Squire Vandegrift about II. 80
O'Clock the same night. McCafferty was ar
rested and brought before the Squire about
a half hour later and was then placed
under bail In the sum of 5000
to appear tomorrow evening to answer to
the charge of keeping a gambling house,
Constable Thomas Wier going his security.
Beecher, in communication to the
Morning NetOs of to-day, shows disposition
to give several other places away, and says
II anyone contradicts what he says in the
Communication he will mention at least 80
persons who make practice of playing the

t.t llEhllaoelpnla I1nes.J
On Saturday morning Miss Annie Sunder-
land came to this city for the purpose, as she
stated, of completing the purchase of articles
for her wedding trosseau. Her marriage,
she said, was to take place on Wednesday
next with well-known Knight Templar OF
Wilmington. After spending the day in
making the round of the dry goods estab-
lishments she started for the Wilmington
boat, having bought a return ticket by
that route. She reached the wharf just as
the steamer cast off. She then turned up
Market street, not knowing what to do, as
she was without money. After strolling
aimlessly about for several hours, trying to
recollect the address of an acquaintance ih
this city, she was approached, while stand
ing on the corner of Eighth aad Arch
streets, about ii O'Clock, by John Cullen, a
respectable looking young man, wearing his
left arm iu sling. She told him her story
and accepted his profIer of a lodging at his
home.
Cullen led her to William A. Duff's livery
stable, at $40 Cherry street, saying his folks
were out and he could not get into his
house, which he said was near by, She re-
manned seated in a chair for some time,
talking, and finally expressed wish for
something to eat. Cullen went to q res
taurant on Eighth street for some fried
land says, several men crawled out from
under the vehicles stored in the stable,
seized and threw her into wagon and at
tempted violence. They also tried to rob
her of gold watch and chain which she
wore. Her screams SO frightened the
villains that they let her go and made their
escape. No policeman appeared upon the
scene. Egi;5 .tt a+ U4.IIt-...u.
Mrs. Susan Thompson, of Hallon place,
situated across the street from the stable,
awakened by the outcries, opened her door
and gave the woman shelter until yesterday
morning, when she accompanied her to the
early Wilmington boat.
Mrs. Thompson in describing the young
woman last night, said she was about 35
years of age, fair eomplexioned and wore
eye glasses. She was fashionably dressed,
wore a Gainsborough hat with black
feathers, gold bracelets and O. watch, the
chain of which was broken In the struggle
with her ,assailants. Miss Sunderland re-
fused to make any complaint to the
police.
The city directory fails to show any
persona Of the name of Sunderland, in this
city, and the story certainly has very
's'hshy" aspect

AverdlOt of Accidental Drowning

The Coroner's Jury in the case of Samuel
Stevenson, the blind eolored man who was
drowned at the Third street bridge on Sum
day the 10th, reassembled at the Office of
Undertaken Palmer. yesterday afternoon at
2 o'clock. The testimony of William Fau-
cett, watehman at the Fourth street cross
ing of the P, W. & B. railroad; John NJ.
Corcoran, watchman at the Diamond State
Iron Company; William Kelly, father of
George A. Kelly, the assistant bridgetender;
William and Timothy Mckinley, Elizabeth
Scott, Charles e, Sparks and Simon Wrinele
was heard. The testimony of these wit
nesses developed but little that related to
the case and showed that he had made a
narrow escape from being run over at the
Fourth street crossing by the cars that
morning. The testimony of William Nc
Ginley, showed that the draw was properly
closed. The jury rendered verdict of death
by accidental drowning.

THE REPORT OF oREELx.s DEArH.
war Department omcials Decline to Give

War Department Offlcials Decline to Give
Any Opinion as to Its Possible Truth.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The War De-
partment people are a good deal distured
by Nordens kjold' dispatch, giving report
of the death of Greely. The story which he
got from the natives is in some respects the
same as that given IN the log OF the Yantic
and published some time since. But it
differs in that it states that the party was
on its way to Littleton Island. This shows
that, while 1t may have been seen from the
same party originally, it was told at another
time. This additional statement that the
party was en- route to Lttleton Island, gives
greater color of probability to 1t than to
the former stories, one of which was that
the commanderof the expedition had been
killed by his men. - go q d a#1
The department officials when questioned
tonight regarding the report were at first
inclined to cast discredit upon it, saying it
was probably untrue. They, however, offer
no statement as evidence of its probable un-
truth, and say frankly that they do not want
to talk shout 1t or indicate that they believe
it,as 1t will only add to the agony of friends
OF members of the party and cannot possi-
bly, do any good or add any real information
to what is already known.
The name-Kasleyh--g by the natives
as that OF the dead officer, is commented
upon here as more like the name of one of
the under officers, Kslingberry, than that of
freely or Payy, as has been suggested.
It Is stated that the wife OF Lieutenant
Greely, who has, with her two children, been
with relatives In California, will soon be
here. What the object of her visit is is un-
known, though probably her anxiety for her
husband induces her 10 visit the point where
news of him will first be received and whence
his rescurers are to go at the earliest pracsi-
cable moment.

Quickstep since Watts release, was re-
leased last evening by the Quickstep
management. Henry and Cusick will flll
his position on alternate days. Il #
The change, putting Henry and Cusick in
the field instead of Smith, cannot fail to be
otherwise than beneficial. Henry Is fair
fielder and a good batter, while Cusick is
first-class fielder and q fair batter. tf.F,t,
Henry's batting average in games played
In Wilmington is $50, q awonderful average.
His hits are always singles and for that rea-
son are not poticed as much as Kienzel ana
Benners. He never misses game Wit hout
hit and 1T is not unusual for him to make
three and four. BE EEEJ -NtU
There is doubt about q nine here next
year; there will be one; just who win go into
1t is mot, cannot be said positively, but
there will be nine and a good one here
Again there will be an Interstate Associa-
tion and the Quickstep will be 3 member of
1t. Who will be in the association is not
definitely Axed- Pottsyille will probably
drop out and The number of clubs may be
increased TO 10, taking In Richmond, WASH
ington, Allentown and Baltimore. And
this Association viii also without q doubt
continue an American Association. This
was the feeling at the last meeting of the
InteriStake. M 5gfYt1 WUrwFH III 7
Mr.. John 7. West has displayed consider
able enterprise and pluck iri assuming charge
of the Quickstep club. 1t Is but due him
that he, should get some recompense for his
trouble. The past week has not been very
profitable, and as there is desire to have a
good club here next year, Mr.. West would
like to have enough patronage to keep the
club on Its feet until about October Is. The
club ID not playing bad ball, all things con
sidered, and have an even chance OF winning
every game played. Tomorrow they play
the Harrisburg, and Pyle and Cusick vii, l,be
the Quickstep battery, and Dorr and Nc
Closkey the Harrisburg. A good crowd
should view the game, as it viii be of inter
est to see. Henry viii play left field.
