Heavy Failure at Dover.

John Il. Myers, for several years a
lumber and grain merchant at Dover,
has failed. He was embarrassed in
February last but managed to bridge
over his difficulties until this week,
when his heaviest creditors pounced
upon him. They hold his paper for
large amounts, but as it is not due they
cannot obtain Judgment unless he ac-
knowledges his inability topay, or they
prove that he is trying to detraud them.
The former he will not do, and efforts
are being made to prove the latter
charge. His liabilities are placed at
about $23, 1000, with assets amounting to
$40, 900 or$l2,0oo. His principal debts
are for lumb ber purchased in East Sagi.
nav, Michigan. The cause of his fall
ure is stated to be caused by grain spec.
ulations some time ago, when he lost
considerable money.

Gone, But Not Forgotten.
From the New York Times,

The pleasant home Of Mr. Robert Fl
Riley, in Flatbush, Long Island, nest
ling romantically where the leafy trees
of Clarkson street form a verdant angle
with the great elms Of Irving Place
was bereft on Saturday by the loss of All
honored member whose piety, as well
AZ his intellectual attainments, had en-
deared him to the entire community.
The missing one is none other than a
gray African parrot, whose life has
been shining illustration of the old
maxim, to which there are more exc .p-
tions than instances, to wit:
"Train up q child in the way he
shonld go, and when he is oil he will
not depart from it," He had none OF
the vicious habits which exclude most
parrots from polite society He never
used the word dam unless he referred to
mill property, and never groaned /:
"Oh, Lord, how long" during family
prayer; for having been brought up, ab
ovo, by Miss Riley, amid refined asso-
Citations, his language and conduct was
undeviatingly cultured and proper. His
attachments, however, were eXtraOrdi.
nary, untainted tho they were with an
interesting wickedness.
He knew the names of all the family
and of the servants, and Invariably ad-
dressed them correctly. When the
butcher drove his cart to the back door
in the morning he parrot very properly
broke up any Irritation between that
person and the cook by Stimulating the
latter's voice and screaming: Mrs.
Riley Mrs. Riley the butcher"
But should the cook call from regions be
low to announce that functiOnary's
presence, the parrot complicated mat
iers in a good-natured way by replying
in Mrs. Riley's voice: "All right. l'll
come down presently
He further made things occasionally
interesting for the servants by rousing
them at o'clock in the morning with a
basso-profundO "Get up! Seven
O'Clock p He was also useful fowl,
for should any of Mr.. Riley's four dogs
come into the parlor with muddy feet,
the parrot assumed Mr.. Riley's tones
and yelled "Get out, you nasty brute,
or IN take you by the neck and carry
you out" and when the baby woke up
and began to cry, the parrot shouted :
"Baby's crying" He had few bad
habits. The worst of which was
that he persisted in singing "Over
the Garden Wall" long after "Only a
Pansy Blossom became popular.
He also whistled several airs correct
ly from II Trovatore," but often said
that he considered Wagner's music
that of the future. The parrot left
home on Saturday evening, the window
and his cage having been carelessly left
open, and was seen since then going
eastward. He was dressed in suit Of
gray with red tail feathers, and Miss
Riley further describes him as having
atfectionate features and laughing
eye" Any one meeting such bird
will be handsomely remunerated upon
returning him, for he was great pet of
an invalid young lady. If this should
come to his eye he may feel assured,
upon the personal responsibility of the
writer, that if he returns all will be for.
given, and that his advent will result
fatally 10 the fatted calf.

ON THE DELAWARE.
A Pleasant Party's Trip to the
Lighthouse and Down the River D..


A party of ladies and gentlemen, in
all thir cen csuple,and lone bachelor
who carried the baskets, assembled at
the residence of Miss Toppin, corner
Fifth and Lombard! streets, last even
ing, for the purpose of taking IA moon
light trip to the lighthouse. The party
formed in line about 8 o'clock and
marched down to the wharves OF the
jackson Il Sharp Company, where the
steam yacht Critic was in waiting tC
convey the party out on the noble
Delaware.
Owing to the number Of the party and
the immense size of some OF It's mem
bers. an extra boat was taken along for
their special accommodation. The Critic
is fine little craft, and was Captain ed
by John Kershaw, who handled the
steering apparatnsin in mastery man
ner. William Hopes was the engi-
neer, and with him the party had no
fears of blow up, as he knows how to
handle machinery. In the absence OF

When the signal was given, the furnace
door was closed, the propeller put i'll

board singing.

mouth of The creek, at which place the
whistle was blown I" notify the keepers
of the lighthouse that their friends
would soon be among them they an
swered the signal with sallltes from a
gun, and he party sped on down the
Delaware for twn or three miles. The
trip down was enjoyable, but when the
bow of the boat was headed up the
river it was not So pleasant, as the huge
waves dashed into the yawl boat, wet
ting quite IL number of the party, but
they were out for fun. The lighthouse
was soon reached and landing effect
ed, when the party were cordially re-
ceived by Mrs. Brill and her fair daugh
ters, and invited into the house. Ar
irving at the dwelling several hours
were spent in singing, dancing, swing
ing, etc, while a few took the opportu
niry of viewing the lights in the tower
just previous to returning home tint

along with them.
Those at the lighthouse were also
treated, and the time was pleasantly
spent. The heavy shower about ten
o'clock caused many to sigh for feat
they would not be able to reach home
that night, but the clouds soon rolled by,
and when the party were homeWard
bound the moon shone out IN all its
brightness. The run was made to the
lighthouse against the tide in twenty
minutes, and the party were loud in
their praises to the owrers of the boat.
The party was commanded by Charles
Story, captain; Casper Toppin, first
mate: John Thorp, second mate Ii.
Stevenson, pilot John Thorp, engineer;
AL. Planetary, fireman; and a full
corps of deck hands, walters, cooks, etc.
The ladies' enjoyed the ride in the creek
but when out in the Delware, they
were not so brave, and it is stated that
one lady said, when wave dashed
over her, "let me out and IN walk
home. " Many amusing incidents oc

City Council.
For the REPUBLICAN,.


Last evening ! visited the meeting of
City Council, and if the proceedings are
sample of the way in which these
men transact business, the sooner they
adjourn until after the next election
the better it will be for the people.
Their actions last evening were more
like the antics of a lot of school boys,
than those of men who were elected by
their fellow citizens 10 transact the
bus ness of this great city.
Economy is necessary IN everything
pertaining to the government of the
city, apd yet last evening was wasted
in childish motions and actions, render,
ing another meeting necessary this
evening to transact the business that
should have been done at last nights
session. This would not be 80 bad,
were it not for the fact that every meet
ing of this august body costs the tax
payers nearly $50, and ! would like tt
ask these men, some of whom are EN-
ployers themselves, how long would
they tolerate such proceedings on the
part of their employees
Suppose this morning when the men
came to their workshops, instead OF 60
| ing to work to fill the orders for which
their employers are waiting,they shoult
spend the dav in IDLE talk and foolist
actions, and at night resolve to 60 hom'
and come again in the morning and dc
the work they should have done yester
day. Yet this is the position in whicl
the members of Council placed them
selves last evening, for the people arr
their employers, and there is plenty o
work for which the people are waiting
Would it not be the proper thing fol
some member to offer a motion thi
evening that no pay should be allowed
the members tor last nights tomfoosry
There is no doubt but that their own
sense of justice and right would induc
them to pass it unanimously.
