A Married Couples Faults.

A correspondent of the New England
Homestead furnishes the following from
her scrap book. 1t may be a little exag-
gerated, but it points to a moral:
After having been married some weeks
it came into the head of a young hus-
band one Sunday when he had but little
to occupy his mind, to suggest to his
wife that they should plainly and hon
estIy state the faults that each had dis
covered in the other since they had been
man and wife. After some hesitation
the wife agreed to the proposition, but
stipulated hat the rehearsal should be
made in all sincerity and with an honest
view to the lettering of each other, as
otherwise it would be of no use to speak
of the faults to which marriage had
opened their eyes. The husband was of
the same mind and his wife asked him
to begin. He was reluctant, but his
wife insisted hat he was first to propose
the matter and as he was the head of
the house it was his place to take the
lead. Thus urged, he began the recital,
he said:
MY dear, one Of the first faults that /
observed in you after we began keeping
house was that you somehow neglected
the tinware. My mother always took
great pride in her tinware and kept it as
bright rs a dollar
Il am glad that you have mentioned
it, dear" said the wife, blushing a little,
hereafter you shall see no spot on cup or
pan. Pray proceed"
II have also Observed said the hus-
band, that you use your dishrags q long
time without washing them, and finally
throw them away. Now, when at home,
| remember that my mother always
used to wash out her dishrags when she
was done using them, and then hang
them up where they could dry, ready
Tor the next timeshe would need them"
Blushing as before the young wife
promised to amend this fault.
The husband continued with a most
formidable list of similar faults, many
more than we have space to enumerate,
when he declared that he could think or
nothing more worthy of mention.
Now, my DEAR" said he, "you begin
and tell me all the faults you have dis
covered ia me since we have been mar
ried.n

nushed to the temples, and a great lump

Reappearance of the Star Of Bethlehem

The temperance Of the star of Beth
lehem is predicted by astronomers fo1
this year or the next. On November II,
1872, Tychc de Brahe discovered a star
in Cassiopeia which equaled Sirius, and
even Venus, in brightness for q month,
and then fell back into its former insig-
nificance. Conjecture has sought to es-
tablish a connection between this ephem-
eral phenomenon and two similar appa-
ritions in 1864 and 945. A not unnatu-
raj inference was that the same increase
in volume Of this remarkable star oc-
cured before 945, which would bring us
to about $50 and 80, and to the date OF
the Nativity. This star is now again

As girls advance toward womanhoOd
they have many little tastes and needs
which should be studied and gratified II
possible A sensible custom is that which
leads indulgent parents to devote pref.
ty sitting room to the exclusive use OF
thu daughter in the family. This sensible
idea tends to develop the natural taste OF
young girls to foster love o. domestic
life, and to bring to the surface any tai
ent they may possess, which lies dor
mant under the frivolous influences of
fashioi able life. Almost everyone feels
the necessity ola private sitting-loom
not to be used selfishly, but as a retreat
where that solitude can be found that is
necessary TO the pursuit of studies, mn-
sic, painting, or any other requirement
which lies within their reach. In differ
ent parts of the country thi new fashion
is adopted with enthusiasm where it can
be afforded by the family income. The
girls are usually presented with an
amount of money to be used in furnish
ing their rooms according to their iu-
dividual tastes, and wonderful is the in
genuity displayed In making small
sums cover large needs. ,,.

The New York Bond Robbery.

New York city has not got exactly a
Tweed steal on its hands, but it now has
a Carroll coupon steal which amounts,
az far rs investigations have gone, to
some two hundred and forty-tive thous.
and dollars. Carroll was a clerk in the
Comptroller office and found as far
back as 1874 that there were millions in
unCanCeiied cnlpOms that had been re-
deemed, but which lie saw proper not
TO cancel. Carroll, one of the shining
| lights Of New York Democracy, fell in
| readily with the bonanza which had 50
anspiciously opened up to him and now,
! " nIir the commissioners Of accounts
are racking their brains in trying to as
certain about hat he did steal Carol,
is enjoying the luxurious fruits Of his
discovery Of how TO get rich without
depending upon his salary and his per
|quIsites for party work.
The commissioners of accounts in
| their pndcav0r 70 find out exactly how
! the steal was en- r'eu, discovered that
| the frauds were committed by the use
Of duplicate coupons, the first payment
berry made on genuine issues, and The
| second on coupons Cut trDm surplus
bonds winch bad been printed for lht
city, hut which were not issued and
which bonds Mr., Green, the Corup'roI
"r declare, Hr saw burned in the City
! Hall furnace.
Daily Republican. [volume] ([Wilmington, Del.]) 1874-1890, 1883-10-10

These bonds, however, were moi
burned but are on file in the Compirol
er's office, where Carroll and his con
federates CHANGED to leave them aftel
using them to defraud the city. 1t was
easy for Carroll to show Mr. Green
what looked like a bundle of bonds
but which We're nothing but bundles OF
worthless paper with a genuine bond or
two 80 exposed that Mr.. Green very
easily tumbled to the racket. The
commissioners of Accounts while in
quirlng into the matter discovered that
hundreds Of thousands of dollars worth
of surplus bonds had been printed
but that there is not the first record in
the office as to how many or Of what
denomination they were, nor is there
any record of what became of them, ex
cept that some of them got into the
hands of Carroll and were cashed by
the city. 1t seems that nobody is tt
blame specially Tor this gigantic stea
that was so systematically carried on
while Mr.. Kelly, Mr.. Green and Mr.
Campbell respectively held the Office Of
Comptroller. 1t would never do tt
censure Or in any way intimate that
these gentlemen were even too lenien,
and cUntiding, and hence all the blame
is laid upon Carroll, who is likely to es
cape that the Comptrollers may be
saved The whole affair makes anothe,

the Democracy Of New York shows it,

WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 10. 1853.
News stands and Bay Windows

At the request of the publishers of the
New York Herald the Board Of Alder
men of New York have passed an OR.
dinance permitting the erection Of news
stands to be kept temporarily at certain
designated points on the sidewalk near
the curbstones, for the sale of all the dali
~ and weekly papers published in the
city. The stands are small, attractive
in appearance, portable, out of every
bOdy's way, and to he used but a few
hours every day.
The Herald says they are not an OBJ
struction of the sidewalk, not pub
lie nuisance, not an interference with
street traffic o. sidewalk travel, nor an
infringement of the rights of property
owners, but on the contrary they are for
the convenience and the accommoda-
ti0n of the general public. Evidently
there have been objections raised
against the ordinances as the Herald has
come to the aid of the Aldermen sup
porting them in the exercise of their
power. The question of the legality of
news stands is analogous to our bay
windows and hence is of locat interest
in our city. The judicial authorities of
New York so far as they have been call
ed upon to decide have in their decis-
ions fully justified the recent decision
Of Chancellor salisbury, in reference to
Mr.. Baynard's bay fronts at Fifth and
Market streets.
The opinion Of the corporation counsel
of New York is that ga news stand in
in itself is not necessarily public nuis-
ance nor an obstruction within the
meaning of the charter. That it may
become such cannot be doubted. Amy
structure, whet her it he a news or any
other stand which blocks up the side
walk and prevents free passage, is both q
public nuisance and astatutary obstruc-
ton Whether the structure is lawful
or unlawful must therefore depend upon
its characteristics and surroundings. "
In support Of this decision is the opin-
ion of the highest court i'll the State of
New York, and which, in common law,
Is as applicable to Delaware as to New
York. That court says cit is not
every slight interference with the use
of a highway, that will amount to a
nuisance. Slight Inconvenience and
occasional Interruptions are incidental
to many lawful uses of public high
ways, are tolerated by reason of neces-
sity, and the benefits resulting to the
public at large by tie acts causing the
interruption. If the distractions are
temporary and reasonable, they will
not be declared illegal, merely because
the public may not, for the time, have
the full use Of the highway"
This seems like u sensible interpreta-
ton of the law, and though bulk win
dows are in no sense news stands, yet
the principle that would apply to one
naturally, in great degree, applies to
the other

The Election Y esterday.

The election in Ohio yesterday, as was
expected, is yet involved in consider.
able doubt which nothing apparently al
this writing can clear up except the
full returns. There seems to be no doubt
whatever of the election Of Mr.. Rose
the Republican candidate for Lieuten
ant Governor, but the chances accord
ing to this mornings returns seemed to
favor the election of Hoaily, for Gov
ernor by very small majority. Other
returns, however, l1ay put different
face upon the prospect. Contrary to
expectation the heaviest Republican
gains were in the strongest German
wards of Cincinnati. The composition
of the Legislature is in as much doubt
as the Governor. If Cleveland and Cincin-
matt elect solid Democratic delegations
to the Legislature it will be Democratic
but if the delegations are mixed, the
Republicans will be in majority. The
second amendment to the constitution
WAS the main question at issue.
1t provides that, "The manufacture
of and the traffic in intoxicating liquors
to be used as a beverage are forever pro-
hipited, and the General Assembly
shall provide by law for the enforce
ment of this provision.
This amendment seems TO be in as
much doubt as any other Issue and
which the full returns only will de-
termine. In this struggle it should not
be forgotten that the Republicans en-
tered the contest with majority of
nearly twenty thousand against them.
If Hoadly merely slips into the Gov
errors Office by the mere skin of his
teeth IL must still be accepted as Re-
publican victory, and Ohio may be set
down as sure for Republican candi-
date for President next year. Had the
liquor question not been an issue this
year the Republican majority would
not have been Less than twenty five
thousand.
In Iowa too the liquor question en-
tered largely into the contest but in
spite of this the Republicans have
gained substantial victory, electing
their State ticket by a large majority
and Legislature two-thirds Republi-
can. The local election at Indianapolis,
Indiana, resulted in Republican sue
cess, and Newark, New Jersey, showed
its preference for the Democrats.
