Tomorrow.

Thanksgiving day, tomorrow, will
be observed as each individual may
elect, it being a general holiday. The
young persons of the stores and shops
will doubtless seek the fields and woods
in a days recreation, while the older
people will more probably go to church.

the occasion, the ladies of the Mite

the evening with their annual supper
at the Town Hall. The admission will

Nurserymen are ever and anon bring
ing out some new variety of fruit on
which they make a popular run and
rope in thousands of dollars. One of
these varieties popularity advertised
and sold the past several years, has
been the Keifer pear. 1t takes several
years from the nursery to bring a fruit
into bearing for the proper test, during
all of which time the elbow" that is
made over the name is selling them
rapidly. Such has been the case with
the Keifer pear. We have never seen
this fruit until a few days ago, when a
slice from a good ripe specimen was
enough to satisfy as to its quality. II
is neither fit to eat nor cook and Mr.
Robert II. Cummins, who has given
especial attention to the culture Of
pears for the past twenty years, pro.
nounces it unequivocally fraud that
should never have been imposed on a
confding community. We presume q
number of them are scattered through
this section, as well as in other part.
of the United States. They grow lux
uriantly and may bear and keep we'll
but what does that signify, if they ar,
not fit to eat.

Reading Room.

The Reading Room Association has
in its rooms beneath the TIMES office
all of its furniture except stoves and
carpets. The officers are busily col
lecting the money that has been sub
scribed, in order to pay for the furni-
ture that has already been purchased
and soliciting new subscriptions to en-
able them to get other necessary fur
niture. 1t has been decided to open
the rooms for inspection of members
and others, on the evening of Thurs
day, December 9th. Those desiring to
become members must pay one dollar as
an initiation fee. The monthly dues
for each member will be fifty cents.
After the opening night new members
will be admitted upon a majority vote
of the Association. The rooms consist
of a smoking room, a room for playing
dominoes, checkers and chess, a recep.
ton room, handsomely furnished and
a reading room supplied with the best
daily and weekly papers, magazines
and literary journals. The rooms will
be open every evening land possibly il
the day as well) for members ans

1T is another good sign to see that law is
becoming operative against the lottery
swinders, as was the case last week in Chi
cago, when four agents were proceeded
against and convicted The Morning
Ne,os says:
The agents convicted represented the
Louisiana, Henry College, kentucky and
Little Havana companies. They were pro-
ceeded against in the United States Dis
trlct Court by the United States District
Attorney. The Federal statute under
which the District Attorney acted was
passed eleven years ago, but was practi-
cally imperative because it was restricted
t" illegal - lotteries. In 1876 this multi
flying word was expunged, and since then
the law has provided that mo letter or cir.
cular concerning lotteries, so-called gift.
concerts, or other similar enterprises of
fering prizes = = shall be carried in tn 6
mail" The penalty for violating this pro.
vision is fine not less than 800 and moi
more than $500, and the payment of tn
costs.
Our merchants and trades-people gen
orally have very large financial interes
in this matter. Every dollar taken out 0
Wilmington and Delaware diminishes b,
so much the purchasing power of their Gus
TONERS, and we believe that at least $50, OO
month are thus taken out of the HON
market"

THE Baltimore Sun, in speaking Of the
recent Revenue Reform meeting in New
York, over which Henry Ward Beecher
presided, says:
THE prevailing sentiment expressed
by the speakers at the huge meeting of
revenue ref3rmers, held in New York
Thursday night was that the Democracy in
the approaching struggle for the speaker
ship, as well as in the presidential cam
paign of 1884, must fight for a revenue
tariff or give up the ghost, confessing itself
to be party withOuta mission The
ing itself was apparently the initial move
ment of an organized and general effort to
crystalize Democratic opinion upon the
great Issue on which the contest of next
year is to be fought, Among the speakers
was Henry Wattereon, who uttered the
sentiment that it is about time that some
one should remind the East that there are
"a West and South, and insisted that there
is a remarkable analogy between the
sophisms OF protection and the sOphisms Of
slavery, neither of which could have the
element Of permanency"

1t has for years been a wonder why
Market street, short and wide avenue
between two of our principal streets,
so we'll located for business, should
not have been fully occupied before
this. 1t looks now as if its day had
come. There are two or three residen-
ces on it, but the street was designed,
when it was laid off, for market and
mercantile pursuits and the prospect is
that at no distant day it will be used
entirely for such purpose. The bust
ness places on it are the carriage shops
of ]. S. Lassell & Co., the ice cream par.
lor and store of w. H. Carr, the harness
shop of VIM. p. Legg, the stone yard Of
David Stevenson, the sewing machine
Office of Eben Lurty and one or two
Offices partially occupied. w. w
Tschudy, we are pleased to state, has
made arrangements to erect on the site
of the building used as factory
stable and other purposes in former
years, double building for stores Il
which will be connected apartments
for sleeping and eating, of persons mo-
encountered with a family. The OBJ
| ject is TO fit them up for small retail
stores. Geo. WI Cummins has in con
temptation in the Spring to erect {
building that will serve the purpose o.
both store and residence. There is M
reason why this street. when once Sc
in the direction of the retail trad,
should not become popular thorough
fare.

EVACUATION DAY.-The last of a
long line of centennial celebrations
commemorative of events pertaining to
the war of the Revolution was held
Monday, in New York. One hundred
years ago the British soldiers marched
out of the last fertilization held by
them within the bounds of an infant
republic and sailed away to the mother
country. Evacuation Day has been a
New York holiday ever since, but a
Centennial Evacuation Day was an
event to be celebrated with an unusual
amount of ceremony and display.
The day was very unprOpitious, but
New York patriotism is of kind that
washes we'll and her thousands of pa
triOtic citizens thronged the streets and
splashed through the mire as proudly
as they would have done if the day
had shone with the most resplendent
sunlight. The programme was carried
out to the letter. The steam vessel
parade-a novel sight, never before
witnessed in those waters-nearly cir
cled the island. The military process
sion with the President of the United
States at it's head, followed the allotted
route and the statue of the first Presi-
dent Of the United States was unveiled
on the spot where he took his oath of
office and the statue was accepted in
behalf of the people by the present in
cumbent of the office. The Grafton of
Mr.. Curtis on the occasion was eloquent,
learned and pathetic. On the whole,
the celebration was decided success
and reflected credit on the patriotism
and enterprise of the city.

The members of Morning Star Lodge,
No. 6, and Mcdonnell Encampment,
No. 2, l. o. o. F., of this town have taken
an important step in providing them
selves and others wishing to purchase
lots, with a cemetery that, while eligi-
bly, located will not be Objectionable on
account of health considerations or in
terlere with the growth Of the town.
Such place is the East side of the
Smyrna mill pond, known as the Peter
son lot, which has been in the family
for number of years and contains in
it their private burial ground after the
custom Of the fatherS-whcre rest Il
number of the older members OF the
family. A purchase of this ground was
effected yesterday Of John Peterson, of
Philadelphia, and sisters, by Rev. VIM.
B. Gordon, who was deputed by the
Lodge for the purpose. The price paid
for the tract embracing 26 acres, was
$4,000. 1t is designed to lay it off into
burial lots as soon as can be done and
thus prepare it as speedily as possible
for the purpose intended. We hear
that number of lots have already
been spoken for.

THE New York Independent in speaking
of the deliberations of the American
bishops in Rene and the probability
whether the object is to appoint a Papal
Nuncio to this country or not, says:
There are no Roman Catholic relations
of the Government which a Nunco could
attend to. Indeed, it would be more to the
purpose to accredit him to the Mayor and
Common Council of the city of New York.
On one contingency, and that a not very
improbable one a Nuneio would make a
very elegant and serviceable ornament to
Washington life. Should the Republicans
elect General Sherman for our next Presi-
dent-and we hardly know better or more
available candidate-the NunciO would be
in all his glory. Mrs General Sherman is
recognized as the head of all Roman femi.
ninity in America. She represents the
Catholic Church as hardly any man does
One of her sons is priest. To our minC
the fact that his most excellent and nobl,
wife is a Catholic would not stand in tn,
way of Shermans election; and the Cath
9licsS would all be happy for four years
Perhaps it is their turn"

thorough business-like manner in which he
has attended to the interest of his Office.
Resolred, That we have been greatly

will sensibly miss his presence, prayers and
counsels in our weekly prayer-meetings
and that our earnest petitions shall go up
for him and his family in the field of labor
to which he is soon to be appointed.

THE conviction of the two Lists, father

mington, on Saturday gives great satistac-
ton to the better citizens of Wilmington,
not that they take pleasure in seeing them

From late advicess it appears that
rumors of Ell Mahdi's approach with a
large army has created a panic among
the Egyptian soldiers at Khartoum,
and that the abandonment of that city
is inevitable. Gendarmes will be sent
to Suakim to facilitate the retreat OF
the demoralized Egyptians, but nc
stand is likely to be made south OF
Assonan, near the First Cataract. Plans
for the fertilization of this point are
in preparation.
