THERE is an anecdote afoat which makes
tender appeal to every man who has had the
toothache. We have read IL again and again,
with fearful eyes, because it brings up 80
many fond memories of the past. There are
few moments in life which will compare with
that exquisite one when, seated in the dem
lists chair, you see flashing before your
amazed eyes the forceps which are about to
perform an urgent duty. At that time your
birth seems to be the worst thing that ever
happene to you. The beads of agony are on
your brow, and the smiling operator is q
double dyed demon. When a gentleman on
the parlor floor heard terrible no Sc, fall,
a crash above him, he inquired if murder
were being committed In the house, and he
was great deal nearer the truth than he
dreamed. But his fr end quieted his alarm
by saying, with bl nd smile: "Oh, don't be
troubled; that is nothing. he doctor has
got another man down and is persuading him
to have his tooth out. n-Chicd1o Herald.

"A brakeman ran ahead of a train
on the Kansas Pacific Railroad to scare
off some Texas steers that refused to
recognize the whistle. One of the horned
monsters turned on him and he fled,

steer caught him under the coat-tail and
landed him on top of the dome of the
boiler. He was badly burned before he
could be removed, and remained uncon.

When San Francisco reports that
"the winter has been more severe than
any since the city was settled" it does
not mean that the temperature has been
very low. "We account it quite cold
around this bay" says the Chronicle,
"when the mercury drops down to
freezing point; but for many days of
the last and present months it has been
ten to fifteen degrees lower than that.
Ice has formed in the city in one night
over half an inch thick, and we have

An Incredible Crime.

induced him to commit the crime, sim
ply said:
"My father prevented me from con-
tinuing my studies and making for my
self brilliant career. He also would
not allow me to read novels, and that is
why resolved to get rid of such rough,
uncultured father"

A few days ago coming up on mixed
train on the d. NJ. 4 V. r. r., We
were greatly delayed at three sta
ions, owing to parties having freight
at them not having finished loading
up their cars; orby their loading the
rear cars on the siding instead Of the
forward cars; thus involving a great
deal of hauling out, and backing in
of cars, before the loaded cars could
be reached. The passengers in the
passenger cars were in a state of ont
spoken profanity against the COM
pany indulgiDg in stale jokes
about funeral trains and such like.
And yet it was all the fault of their
own neighbors. Incidentally it was
the fault of the company, who out of
kind consideration for their Gus
toners, did not leave the cars. be-
hind until the next day, or until
they were fully and properly loaded.
People complain because there is
not a daily steamer from Lewes to
New York They do not know that
it costs a thousand dollars a week,
the price of many one hundred
acre farm on the line Of the railroad,
to run steamer like the Break
water, or the Richmond. That
amount of freight must be made up
weekly by shippers to pay the costs
and charges of running them, let
alone any profit, If those who de-
mand such accommodations would
guarantee and secure the cost Of rum
ming, the Steamship Co. would take
the risk running daily line, trust
ing to the developement Of the re-
of the country to give them
a profit in the future. No, let those
who find fault, grumble, and growl,
buy up the stock Of the d. NJ. & V. |
r. r. and invest in the steamers to /
Lewes. Let them buy enough to en-
title them to be directors in the
management; and fthey are not sick
Of their bargain in a year, they must
have strong financial stomachs. As
t is, those who have invested, have
lone so through a strong and abid-
ng faith in The futvre prosperity of
Delaware, and are willing to abide

erred, maketh the heart sick, and

'nly adding insult to injury.

The railroad and steamship com

uch to benefit this section of coun-
y, as yet without much gain if any
