NewsDaDer Change .

With last weeks issue of the Della
ware Ledger, published at Newark,
Mr. Egbert G. Handy, the proprietor,
relinquishes control of the paper, he
having sold the entire equipment of the
paper to John Bowen, Of Elkton, Md :,
and Levi X. Bowen, Of Wilmington,
who will assume control at once Mr..
Handy has had charge of the Ledger
for more than two years, during which
time he has been untiring in his efforts
to build up such paper that the citi-
zens of Newark would feel proud Of
His work at first was an uphill
job, but by diligence and perseverance
he has placed the paper Oh good basis,
and his many friends in Newark and
elsewhere will feel sorry that SO good
a man has been taken from its head.
He speaks well however, of his success
sors, who will no doubt strive to make
the paper even better in the future
than in the past. While we are not per-
sonally acquainted with the Messrs.
Bowens, we wish them much success.

ward. Of course but littk, can be
definitely ascertained concerning the
proceedings but it is said there is a de-
termined opposition to Mr.. H ckey, who
has made some enemies by srictly en-
forcing the law, without fear or favor.
He has driven the light weights and
short measures from the market, and
compelled the owners either to deal
honestly with their customers or quit
altogether, and as consequel ce he has
made number of enemies, WAC are op-
posing his reelection.
The other applicants for the position
are Deputy United States Marshal
Ainscow and ex-Clerk of the Market
Cornelius Fipps. Ex-Coroner Weldin's
name has been mentioned, and also
that Of Edward J. White, br5 the con-

A Promising YOUNG Mare,

On Tuesday of last week, says the
Kent News. the young mare Jaybird
owned by Mr.. E. B. Emory, of the Pop.
lar Grove stock farm, Queen Anne 's
County, passed under the wire at Her.
ring run course in 2.3O, and it was the
opinion of many horsemen that this did
not measure her full speed Against
her in the race were Indigo, Telephone,
Jim Fisk, Bramble, ETC., all horses of
good speed. The purse was $1oO. Bets
of $40 to 81 were freely offered against
Jaybird, and as the Eastern Shore visi-
tors had much confidence in their little
mare they were accepted. Jaybird won
the race in three straight heats of 2.3O,
1851, 2.37H. The most remarkable
thing connected with this race is that
the mare had only been on track four
times previous to this, her first race.
This is probably the greatest time on
record for a horse so little trained
This mare had been worn out by hard
road work when Mr.. Emory boug ght her
four weeks ago. Queen Anne's Jockeys
have hopes of producing Maud s. or
St. Julian from their already fleet
horses.

FULLMEls's DINING ROOMS.
The Re.Opening Last Saturday
Nlght-A Brilliant Scene.

The restaurant and dining rooms Of
Joseph Fullmer, No. 50S Market street
were re-opened last Saturday night foi
the first time since they were closed
some four weeks ago for the purpose OF
remode ling and improvement. An in.
vitation had been extended by Mr..
Fullmer to his many friends to be pres
ent Mt the opening, and in conse quence
the place was crowded from 8 O'Clock
until midnight. ..l.
| Those who were accustomed to call
ing at the old place would scarcely
know it now, so many changes
have been made. The old bar has been
removed and replaced with one COM
posed of ash and walnut that is highly
ornamental. 1t was made to order in
Philadelphia, and fitted in place by
Morris Strickland of this city.
The walls are handsomely decorated
with fine gold embossed paper, and the
ceilings hand painted in the most beau
tiful and arti site manner, and are alone
worthy of visit. This part of the
work was done by Henry Guerin, man
ager of S. N. Anderson, wall decorator.
The gas fixtures by Allen Sharp are
equal to any in the city. There are
three magnificent FURNISHED brass
chandeliers with cut glass pendants,
and seven large wall brackets. All
these fixtures are supplied with cut
glass globes, and when lighted present
a brilliant appearance. The floor is
covered with an extra quality of limo
leum, from William b. Sllarp's estab
lishment.
The rear part Of the room has been
widened about eight feet, and the wall
which formerly divided this part from
the main room removed and three steps
constructed to lead to t his part. In a
recess on the left, Is a handsome marble
washstand, for the accommodation of
the customers The two rooms in this
part are divided by arches, and along
the walls are number Of small walnut
tables, each supplied with French cane
seat chairs.
The whole establishment Is fitted up
second to none in this city, and rivals
the first class restaurants Of Philadel-
phia and New York. 1t is certainly an
evidence of the growth of Wilmington,
and of the advancement of its citizens,
that Mr.. Fullmer has been obliged to
fit up place in this magnificent style
to meet the wants Of his numerous pa
irons.
The culinary department will con-
tinue to equal if not excel the high
standard it has attained in the past,
and the visitors on Saturday night had
an opportunity of testing the delicious
viands for themselves. Delicious oys-
ters, so large that person wondered
where they came from, were served in
half dozen different ways, while the
richest kind of clam and turtle soup,
with crab salad and dozen other diff !
ferent dishes were supplied the visitors i
in unstinted quantities, and everyone
made to feel perfectly at home.

The Nose.

This useful feature has an immense
influence of its own.
When woman possesses Roman
nose she must be extremely careful
as to her head-gear and hair-dressing.
Neither Of these must belong to the
frivolous nor coquettish order.
Neither must be inadequately small.
If the wearer of the Roman nose falls
into this error, that useful organ will
look larger than ever.
With Greek nose, on the other
hand, woman may wear almost any
thing.
She will be sure TO have taste to
divine what Is suitable and becoming,
and grace enough to put it on straight
an accomplishment more Iare than
might be thought.
The turn-up nose may be adorable or
it may he a trial.
Much depends on the com plexion !;
much on the precise degree of upward
curve.
This curve should be similar 70 those
at the corner of the lips, and when it
is, what piquant harmony is the re-
suit
On, lucky girl with such nose, what
a queen of hearts you may be
Add but the instinct of Coquetry to
the owner Of this nose, and you have a
creature as dangerous as Helen to the
peace of man.
1t must not be q shaky, tleshy, habby
thing curt decision and spice of
dainty self-assertion must character
ize it.
1t was such an ideal nose that in
spired the following sentiment -" We
confess lurking penchant, a sort of
sneaking affection which we cannot
resist, for the celestial nose of
woman"
And what style of architecture are
we to construct our dress upon? ask
the owners of such noses.
Anything coquettish and airy, frivo-
lous, and quaint Severe simplicity con.
sorts not with the snub

Hallett Escapes In Female Ap.
parel.

In a lengthy article about Col. Hal
lett's escape from Georgetown Jail, tn e
Delaware Democrat says:
1t is said that Hallett made his way
out of the State in feminine apparel.
He was met by friends near Milford on
Sunday night and taken to farm house
After being cleanly shaven, he douned
his women's clothes," and with a
ge ntleman as escort was driven over in
to Maryland, where the pair boarded a
so ath- bound train. A relative of the
Hallett family is reported to have said
that the fugitive was handsomely dress
ed in silk and that he made an elegant
looking woman. The article also
asserts that it is the belief of many that
the prisoner was aided in his escape by
John Andrew, mulatto prisoner, who
has the privilege of roaming around the
jail at will.

Slight Fire.

About 8 O'Clock Sa' urday night fire
was discovered in the establishment OF
August Bickta, on Tatnall street below
Third. The Fame and Washington
Fire Companies were Immediately noti-
fed, and were soon at the place, but
the fire had been extinguished with
buckets of water before they arrived.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
it is fortunate that it was discovered
in time, as a fire in that locality would
be attended with disastrous results
