Trouble About street Lamps.

The residents of various towns
throughout the State are seriously an.
noyed with the street lamps, because
they are not lighted on dark nights, for
the simple reason that the moon ought
to shine" The Smyrna Times agitates
the question of painting the lamp-posts
white, so they can be seen when the
lights are out. The Georgetown Demo-
crat quotes the Times article, and says:
"The suggestion is good one, and we
wish our Commissioners would have
ours painted the same color. Our streets
are dangerous on cloudy, moonlight
nights. 1t seems The lamplighter goes
according tG the almanac, rather than
according to the darkness of the night.
The Delawarean also complains of the
lights in Dover, as follows: " Would
it not be we'll to have the lamps lighted
until the moon really throws some light
upon the streets? When the moon is
first visible, AZ for instance, the first of
this week, it gave no light, and the
streets were very dark, but yet there
was no lights from the lamps" Other
towns are in the same position, and the
authorities should pay more attention
to lighting the lamps.

Paving Church street.

The members of City Council assem-
bled in their chamber on Saturday
afternoon at $50 O'Clock, ana were
called to order by President Conrad,
who stated the object of the meeting.
They then proceeded tc Front and
Church streets to view the portion OF
that street which it is proposed to curb
and pave.
A long discussion ensued, some of the
members contending that Council had
not the power to order the street curbed
and paved on both sides from Fourth
street to the creek, while others thought
that while Council had the legal right,
it would not be advisable to have 1t
done. After debating for some time,
several motions were made, but it was
finally determined that further con
sideration of the matter be postponed
until this evening
Council then proceeded to Eighth and
Monroe streets TO inspect the bed Of the
street which had been complained Of as
Il nuisance. After hearing the state
ment of resident in the vicinity in
reference to the cause of the annoy
ance IL was on motion of Mr.. Moore
decided to accept the bed Of Morrow
street, and instruct the Street Commits
sioner to have it filled up and brought
to grade.
An adjournment was then taken to
Union 8 rect and Pennsylvania avenue,
to examine the first named where 1t
was recently washed ont. The wash
out extends to Liberia street, and after
a number Of suggestions had been
made by several members the further
consideration Of the matter was de-
ferred until this evening. After pro-
ceeding TO Fourteenth and Scott streets
and viewing the part over which the
Baltimore & Philadelphia Railroad will
pass, Council adjourned until this even
ing.

A Thrilling Scene.
rom the Pail Mall Gazette


AT Perranporth, hear Truro, last
evening, the driver of wagonnette
party wandering on the beach found
his retreat cut off by the tide. He es-
sayed to climb the cliffs but when
halfway up he found progress impos-
sible. The ledge on which he was sup
ported would only give space for one
foot and the ground to which he clung
above was loose and crumbling. For
some hours he endured this suspense,
when the visitors deserted him above.
The news spread, and crowd congre-
gated, but none dared venture along the
slight edge by which alone the man
could be approached. TO have thrown
"A rope would have been useless, for the
efforts to catch it would have certainly
caused the poor fellow to fall. A coast
gnardsman, named Regan, volunteered
TO he let down 100 feet over the face of
the cliff, and while he descended the
excitement was quickened tenfold. By
sudden effort, the coastguardsman
clasped the man with strong grip,
and they swung Oft the ledge together.
Even then the danger was not at an
end but u descent was safely effected
10 ledge below, whence ac cess to the
summit was gradually gained. The
spectators collected u good round sum
for the gallant coastguardsman.

Death Of q Flrs Engine Horse.

Last Saturday afternoon the Water
Witch Fire Engine responded to the
alarm from box Is at Thirteenth and
King street, and Immediately after the
engine had stopped at the plug, and
while the driver was unhitching the
reins, one of the horses, named George,
fell to the ground and expired in about
three minutes. George was about Is
years old, and has been used to the en-
gine for the past en- years. During the
Centennial he and his mate won a di-
ploma over number ofconpetitors, for
the greatest speed with fire engine.
Some years ago he run away with John
Russell, who was at the time his driv-
er, and was the cause of his death. Dur
ing the war he belonged to Thomas g..
Bird, and carried him safely through
several hard fought battles, although it
is said that three other men were shot
while on his back. His death was caus-
ed by congestion of the brain, and he
was Inferred today by the members of
the Company, on the farm of Robert
Banks on the Concord pike, he having
kindly given them permission to bury
him there.

Pay A. YOu Go.

This advice is always good, but 1t Is
specially timely, now that the prospects
ahead for work or business looks
encouraging and everybody feels cheer
ful.
How many times have you said to
yourself during the past few years, "lf
could only get my big bills squared
up, never would be caught in this way
again." and you have fused and
worried over debts, contracted when
times were flush and the prospect of
paying them seemed fair
Now is a good time to turn over a
new leaf, because it is just the time
when the temptation to do the same
same thing again is strong upon you.
If your wages are increased or you
are selling more goods and getting q
better profit, you begin to think, "now
can buy that new carpet or chamber
set that my wife wants, and can pay for
it in short time"
You had better wait until you have
paid up all the old debts first. Don't
get trusted. Pay for your provisions
and groceries as you go along and hus-
band what you have over.
The relief from the old debts will be
like the recovery from a boil-you feel
better when it Is well-and the com
fort of feeling that the little pile you
accumulate is subject to nobHiy's lien,
is positive pleasure.
Flush times almost invariably lead TO
speculation, and speculation includes
not only the investment in stocks or
land for rise, but the discounting of
the future for anythingyou want.
The man who buys what he is unable
to pay for at the time of the purchase,
is mortgaging his life and his labor,
and incurring II burden which most
likely he will regret.
"Pay as you CO." is a wise maxim,
for yourself honest, for your neighbor
Just.
Its observance will tighten the cares
and burdens of life, sweeten toll, en-
courage industry, reward honesty,
good neighborhood and induce

only reflected credit on the officer, but

MESSRS. EDITORS In your paper
of saturday last is an article, "Foolish-
ness" Who and what is the writer
aiming at? He has no egOtism, not a
bit he is no Sancho Panza fighting
wind mills; no, he is only trying to
sight "tools." He has his armOr on
and is spelling for fray. If a "fool"
appeared in sight, would you guaran-
tee "NewAl" to stand ? Is he a scholar
and gentleman ca in his own con-
ceit ? is it gentlemany to style parties
"fools" of whom he is ignorant Had
he not better take a lesson in ethics
"He who calls his brother a fool is in
danger, etc" If he wishes to convert
an erring man, is he wise to begin by
ca ling him "tool, brute, etc.?'
Has any one of those 'fools" tread
upon "Newals" toes that has raised his
ire? Does he want to discuss this
question with "fool' through your
paper, and will you permit it !" ! hope
he has knowledge enough to know that
"Rolands are as plentiful as divers"
in the hands of another Sancho Panza.
Does "Newal" ever look in the mirror,
and if he does, would it not be worth
to know what estim ate lie
places upon himself? ETHICS.
