Half dozen French ships of war are
lowering about the island one British

CURIOUS THEORIES OF THE PRE-HIs-
TORIC CONDITION OF THIS SECTION.

If the telescope eye of the magma
tion be turned back into the dim re-
cesses of the past; it be directed up
on that period of the worlds history
antecedent to the settlement of New
Jersey by some hundreds of thousands
of years, and if the certain light of that
prehistoric age be concentrated upon
the focus established by modern scien-
tific Investigation, it will be discovered
that where the good city of Philadel-
phia now stands was once a wide,
troubled waste of waters. So deep
was the flood that the tallest tower of
the tall City Hall would not have
reached to within a half mile of the
surface. So much, at least, has been
found by patient Delaware geologist,
into whose well-stacked library Press
reporter stumbled some days since
while roaming through Kent County
in search of rural sensations. Against
the wall of the cosy study hung huge
map, whereon were depicted the var
iOus towns, villages, creeks and cross
roads of that little state, together with
the dates of the creation, discovery or
establishment of each. Books and
papers lay scattered in confusion, and
upon the cheek of the geologist there
burned an enthusiasm begotten of some
years of patient study and investiga-
ton. To the reporter he unfolded the
result of his labor, which the reporter
in turn will describe briefly and in his
own language.

Family Expenses.

After religion and politics there is
nothing about which intelligent people
differ so radically as when they call
the cost of living. A skilled man in
some department of business will earn
several thousand dollars year, spend
nothing on wine, women or horses, yet
always be in debt. Some acquaintance
of his, with similar salary, and larger
family, lives comfortably, sends his
boys to college, drives a good horse
and has snug little bank account.
There are mechanics earning two dol
lars a day who comfortably feed and
clothe a family of half dozen people,
while some of their fellow workmen,
married, but without children, live
meanly, wear shabby clothes ON Sun
days and are occasionally elected from
their homes for non-payment of rent.
The principal cause of the difference
may almost always be found in the
family larder and the family wardrobe
Americans, whether rich or poor, know
but little more about economy in food
than an equal number of savages.
Some families must breakfast either ON
beefsteak or mutton chops; others will
serve Just as much meat and make it
just as palatable at quarter of the ex-
pense of choice cuts, because they know
how to cook. Temperament has much
influence on the larder. Excitable
people will eat twice as much without
satisfying their hunger as those of bet
ter physical balance, yet they will MOI
do more work. Some wives will save
the price of ton of coal by remaking
for one of the children an old dress Of
suit of clothes; some others, seeming
to be destitute either of tact, skill O.
inclination, must buy everything new
or go without. Economy is a scienC
which quite a number of men ant
women have mastered by close obser
J walton and diligent practice; others d.
not seem to know of its existence.

A GEoLOGTCAL SURVEY.

The only geological survey of the
State ever attempted was made in 1888
by James C Booth, and he was unable
to discover any continuous strata of
the clay beds of New Castle County.
The iron ores in the Western part of
the upper portion of the State, which
are so thoroughly commingled with
the soil and sub-soil, giving the rust
color and fine flavor to all fruits, but
particularly in the peach; retaining
moisture in an unusual degree; and in
many places converting the gravel into
"hard pan," were washed from the
ore beds of Pennsylvania, and held
evenly in solution with the clay and
mud deposits. The cOpperas, which
has been found in such quantities in
Sussex County as to excite the hope
that it might be proftably worked as
bog ore, was deposited by leaking
swamps from adjecent soils. This pro
cess may also explain the existence o.

chimney of an old house in Laurel, the
discovery of which threw the neighbOr

A ~well-known lady Of Eureka, whose
husband left about q month age 10 take
up his residence at Salt Lake, has been
detained here since selling off the house
hold furniture and completing her ar
rangements to join him there. Piece by
piece everything went, slowly and at a sac
rifce, as is nearly always the case under
sue circumstances. and yesterday the
last tie Of personal property that bound
her to this town had been severed by pri-
yate sale. There was nothing left to de-
tach herself from but a faithful pet and
servant-a watch dog that had attended
her footsteps for the last ~ years, that
had grown old and decrepit in unselfsh
devotion to his mistress. She could not
take the aged servant with her, and she
could not endure the thought Of his
falling into the hands Of strangers, who
mad not her sympathy for him and
her memory Of his years Of faithful
service, and who, not appreciating him for
what be had been, might neglect him or
treat him i'll in his declining age. She
~ - nv WSA WHY Oub vi thO way
how happy she would be, but his death
WAS almost as painful to contemplate as
that Of a dear friend or relative. At last,
however, after taxing her mind to devise
the least painful expedient for relief from
the real distress of the situation, she de-
termined that it was best for her old pet
and companion Of many years to be put
at rest at once and forever-unless there
be another life for the canine species, Of
which nothing is known to the contrary,
and II there il, to let him take his chances
in Judgment with the multitude Of dogs
that have gone into eternity before him.
Yesterday afternoon she gave him q good
feed, and, patting her pet upon the head,
she walked down to q drug store with
him gazing up at her tenderly
and trotting to his doom in front
OF her. Coaxed to lie down in the back
room the man Of drugs applied to his nose
q chloroformed sponge wrapped in a towel.
He struggled for breath a moment or two,
and then lay quiet to move no more. His
mistress, with tears coursing down her
cheeks, had run away from the cruel spec
tacle, and did not reappear until several
hours after ward, when she returned to re-
claim the body and have it carried away
for burial in o neat coffin made for the
purpose. 1t was not an unimpressive com-
pany that followed poor mick" to his last
earthly resting place. All the little boys
and girls OF the neighborhood who knew
him and loved him formed in procession
and vent to sec him consigned to the sod.
Though in specializing about his sudden
taking off one of them did say aloud in IN
funeral tones that "Nick" had ''smelt him
self to death" there were generally great
decorum and %solemnity observed, and they
were as sad as urchins could be to see their
~favorite laid away.

All Because the N0rtlend Did Not
Hold Up.
Saturday morning about half-past 9
O'Clock q little ''scrap," says the Virginia
Chronicle, took place between George 1.
Lammon and Capt. John Kelly, the we'll
known bear Of the stock market. The
parties met in Douglass 4 Thompson's
Office and after a few angry words, In
which Lammon called Kelly an Irish s.
Of 9 b., Kelly struck him in the face.
By-standers interfered and stopped the
row, but it was soon ~resumed-after Lam
mon had called Kelly a liar. This impu-
tation upon . stock operators verscity
could not be tolerated, and onoe again the
Kelly fist fell heavily upon the Lammon
proboscis. The men scuffied out of the
brokers' shop and into the street, where
Lammon picked up q fine quartz speci-
men, but was prevented from making .
connection with the Kelly head by Officer
Higbee, who took charge of the rock and
also Of the combatants. They were taken
before District Attorney Stephens, but
allowed to go on their own recognizance.
The case was set for 8 o'clock to-day.
After the fight Mr.. Lammon said that
Kelly told him a few days ago that he
kelly had about $40, 900 worth of Union
and Sierra Nevada stocks, and that he
expected to clear q quarter Of q million Of
dollars or them. This induced Lammon,
who also had some Of the stock. to hold on
to it. When the price ran up to $40 it was
again limited by Kelly that it was still q
good buy. The stock fell yesterday and
to-day to about SIS and Sc, and Lammon,
feeling angry at Kelly, taxed him with
having intentionally misled him. This
Kelly denied, and the You're this" and
You're that"-bif, bubble and squeak
followed as above stated.
The case was investigated by Justice
Pomeroy this afternoon, and by consent Of
both sides was dismissed.
