the actor, formerly leading man Of the Cali
fornia theater, now playing an engagement
at the National theater. 1t is to the effect
that when he was courting his charming
wife he could never muster up courage to
propose, on account of the depressing ar
rangement of the furniture in her parlor.
Ono day, however, the idea occurred TO him
to move the sofa into the center Of the
room--the position, it will be recollected, 1t
always occupies in society dramas. Standing
behind this, and leaning upon the back IN
tho most approved Montague style, habit
soon exerted its power, and the handsome
James easily popped the momentous question,
even without the aid Of sudbued orchestral
fddling If this story is not true, 1T is at
least interesting from an intrinsic, wild,
weird, and mysterious beauty that is-all its
own.
Senators Pendleton and Vest do not now
have those amiable and tender feelings to-
ward each other which all good democratic
senators should have. The way of 1t was
this: Senator Pendleton has one of tho most
desirable seats in tho senate chamber. His
position is central and almost in front Of the
presiding officer. Senator Vest on the con-
trary is tucked away at the extreme rear OF the
democratic side in about the poorest position
in the chamber. The terms of office Of the
two senators expire the same day. Both are
candidates for reelection. Each believes tha
no will be elected. Last week Senator Vest
assuming that hs would be reelected and tina
Senator Pendleton would not be, made forma
application to the proper authority for pos
session tho Ohio mans seat IS soon as tn
latter should be done with it. Senator Pen
dleton did not find out about this performanc
until yesterday and whom he did discover
he was worry mad senator indeed. Ho

A special session of Court will con.
vene at Dover on Thursday next fol
the purpose oftrying the parties who
were engaged in the recent circus rio,
in that town. The witnesses for the
State, together with the participants
who are out under bonds, have all been
summoned to appear at the opening OF
the Court. From the present outlook
there will be little done, and it lis doubt
fnl if any of the participants will bt
convicted, as O'Brien refuses to push
the case and the bulk of the evidence
is with the rioters, mainly from the
fact that the circus men fred the first
shots and melted the boys to riot.
The only damaging testimony is
against Tomlinson and Denny, whom,
it is alleged, did most of the firing on
the part of the Dover boys, and as they
have given Dover a wide berth since the
trouble, it is not likely that they will
answer to their names when called.
Henderson, the man who was badly
injured, will probably be present to
give his testimony, which will be
against the two above mentioned young
men, and as they will not be on hand,
his testimony will go for naught. The
Hon. Eli salisbury, James l.. Wocott
ami Geo. Y. Massey, Esqs., are counsel
for the rioters.

Boys, Read and Heed Tn is.

Many people forget that character
grows; that it is not something to put
on ready-made with womanhood or
manhood but day by day, here little
and there little, grows with the
growth, and strengthens with the
strength, until, good or bad it becomes
almost coat of mail. Look at man
o. business-prompt, reliable and con-
scientious, yet ciearlleaded and ener-
getic. When do you suppose he devel
oped all those admiring qualities ?
When he was boy? Let us see how
a boy Of ten years gets up in the morn
ing, works, plays, studies, and we will
tell you just what kind of man he
will make. The boy rh,t is too late at
breakfast, late at school, stands poor
chance to be a prompt man. The boy
who neglects his duties, be they ever SO
small, and then excuses himself by say
ing, forgot did not think !" will
never be reliable man: and the boy
who finds pleasure in the suffering of
weaker things will never be noble,
generous, kind mani gentleman.

A Trial to be- Given the Improved
Deering Binder on Thursday

Next
The complication of the patent binder
heretofore used on the DeeriIg r-apers
has at last been superseded by a simple
machine, which does the work much
quicker and better than the old patent.
The improvements on the Deerine
twlne binder consist Of the discarding
Of three springs, q to "a less parts in
knotting aud every motion made posi-.
tive. For many years the question OF
binding has agitated the minds of manu-
facturers Of agricultural implements,
and the farmers have long felt the ne
cessity of having q machine to do the
work of binding, which heretofore
has necessitated the employment of a
number of extra men during the har-
vest season.
The Deering reaper and binder have
been success, and there Is no doubt
but the improvement will meet with
encouragement from every farmer who
has wheat, rye, ETC., to cut and bind.
In order that the farmers in this vi
cinity and others interested in this
machine may see the simplicity of the
new invention an exhibition of its
merits will be given on Thursday after
noon next, at . O'Clock, on the Flem-
ming farm of the Messrs. DUPONT,
near St. Joseph's church, Christiana
Hundred. at which time field OF rye
will be cut and bound. a cordial i'll
vitation is extended TO the farmers to
witness the trial. The agents for The

that a widespread society exists in the
Russian army, composed exclusively Of
officers, including numerous colonels of
regiments In regard to the present
uuiescence of the Nihlists, he says it
would be foolish to attempt revolt when
the enemy are most alert An attempt
to assassinate the Gar might still form
the beginning of a revolt or a coup

says, is no longer of Importance.
