last week that has attracted q great
deal of attention from the boldness Of
his utterances. He attacks the follies
of their idle lives, their inertness where
there is so much to do, the dislike of
the care of children by married people
and the vices resorted to, the indiffer-
ence to christian work fostered by their
life of ease, &c. In considering the
Emission of women" Dr. Dix evidently
speaks as a Christian preacher of a
strict sect, to Christian women of his
own communion. He calls upon them
to help stem the tide of unbelief and
license which is sweeping over the
world to revive faith in hearts which
have lost it; to resist the forces of
sectariaIism and naturalism, and to
maintain old Christian ideas. 1t is
most fit for women to do this, the
preacher says, because through woman
first came sin because then through
her came Redemption; and finally,
because she is the mother of man and
the instructor of children. DR.. Dix
makes his points fOrcibly, but will from
this cause arouse antagonism only in
the ease loving of his own fold and the
Free Thinkers who are at war with
everything tending to Christian ad-
vancement.

the resident Judge, and if he be absent
the Chief Justice shall sit. Not less

The Observance Of Easter.

When the middle aged men and
women were young the only obser-
vance of Easter Sunday was to break
fast on eggs, and have sufficient
quantity dyed for the amusement of
the juveniles. The Easter card bust
ness introduced few years back was a
great innovation, but the work of art
has carried the cOmmemOratiOn almost
to the extreme of folly. The turning
of some shop windows into a resem-
blance to poultry yards, with eggs of
all hueS and sizes, surrounded by hay,
or packed into baskets, and with toy
hens and hencoOps adding picturesque
ness to the scene, is a reminder that
Easter is at hand. Not less conspicu-
Gus are the pictorial Easter cards
which have also come forth in great
numbers, with various degrees of APP
| propriateness in design and inscription.
The European custom of dyeing eggs
and of giving sweetmeats at Easter in
egg-shaped boxes has only of late years
become very widespread in this coun-
try, while the introduction of the
Easter cards is still more modern
The Ornamentation of bOn-bon boxes
by costly hand paintings and Other
devices has been carried so far that al
egg as big as an ostrich's, filled with
choice devices of the cOnfectioner, car
be made no mean gift. Easter seem:
to come a little prematurely when il
falls, as it does this year, a week before
the end of March, and with wintr,
winds still blowing.

has been that western and northwest
ern communities have obtained their |
fruit supplies via New Orleans, II prin-
cipal inducement for their doing thus
being found in the lower rates for
freighting over the lines from the South
to these points than from the East.
The methods of conducting the foreign
fruit (oranges, lemons, etc., business
in Boston, the qualities of the goods,
and the care attending shipments, have
all been in favor of Boston trade; but
railroad rates West have been decided
ly against increase of the volume OF
business. Representations repeatedly
made to Commissioner Fink of the
trunk lines, in the past, as to the state
of things, have invariably failed of
bringing about any change for the
better, the senior partner of the North
Market street firm of Snow & Co.,
having been long and earnestly engag-
ed in the endeavOr to have the rights
and requirements of this department
of trade recognized, and Boston inter
ests put more nearly on an equality
with those of the Southwest in this
particular. But recently these efforts
resulted successfully, and II few days
since Mr.. Snow was notified, by Com
missioner Fink, that from March 5th
green fruit freight west by the trunk
lines would be placed in as second, in
stead of first-class in the schedules.
This reduction is equivalent to a re-
duction of from $35 to $45 per carload
of fruit, an amount which is often
equal to all the profit involved in that
quantity, and the decision of the com.
missioner is of great importance. I'm
der it western shipments will receive
an immediate impulse, and the volume
of business increase from this time
forth. Although New York will proli
equally with Boston in the ''new deal,
the changed condition of things is due
entirely to Boston energy, pluck ant
perseverance, which qualities, unitet
, with the excellent methods of dOinj
business in vogue among fruit iobber
: here, are fast resulting in giving thes
merchants a foremost position in tn
trade on this cOntinent.-BO Boston Hen

THE Salisbury Advertiser in thinking
of the interest of the berry growers,
(the leading agricultural industry of
that section) manifests some concern in
regard to the extension of the PENN
sular railroad from Delmar to Cherry
stone, because of the possible effect it
may have on their products. 1t says:
Heretofore we have been putting
berries into the New York market
when the Norfolk season was about
over and for week have generally
had a clean market. If the Eastern
Shore of Virginia is put in direct rail
communication with New York, they
will find berry growing profitable.
Consequently they will grow them.
Being from a week to two weeks earli-
| er than this section, their season will
be at its height when our early berries
are lust getting into market. So in
stead of having the tail end of the
Norfolk season to compete with, we
will have these Virginia berries going
in with ours and in probably as good
condition. Exactly how far these ap-
prehensions will be realized, only the
completion of the road can determine
The probability is strong enough to
make it we'll worth considering. The
ounce of prevention that will do better
than the pound of cure, is to begin al
once to put superior class of berries
in the market"
If the Virginian should thus interfere
with the Marylander, it will only dt
for them what they fifteen years agc
did for us: by their more southern
latitude get away with us on time, ant
thus on prices. The growers hav
found that the profit in the strawberr.
, is in superior culture.

SPEAKER BATES took the floor one

Treasury the temptation will be before
our politicians to create new offices, OIL
enlarge the salaries of the existing
ones

strong advocates in the Democratic
press of Sussex as we'll as those of both
parties of New Castle County, but the
leaders in the dominant party including
the Governor think "the people are
not ready for it" and so thing so
democratic may fail because there is
not time to wake up the masses.
