Heretofore the Democrats Of this
DsSt.. have been satisfied with having
one of the United States Senators from
tine upper end of the State, but now II
begins TO look as if they were to be
denied even that privilege. Nothing
- prevent an acrimonious contest In
chs selection OF a successor of Senator
BAyard, but for the latter to remain In
tho Senate. He will no doubt be able
% retain his position in the Senate, aud
Ii ho ramains there he may possibly
suoceed in keeping the office in the
family in regular succession. But even
In that attempt Mr.. Bayard will find
shat he will be opposed by q large wing
q his arty, who have learned that
% the world do move" and who want a
nero progressive man like Mr.. Lore.
Tho desire to make Mr.. Lore even now
the successor OF Mr.. Bayard weakens
tho chances OF New Castle County re-
tanning ono OF the United States Sepa-
sors, and the fact that Mr.. Bayard de-
sires 70 let his cast off mantel fall upon
tho shoulders Of Mr.. Gray, increases
ths feeling In favor Of Mr.. Lore. No
body can say Aught against Mr.. Gray.
In character and talent he probably
comes nearer the equal Of Mr.. Bayard
than any other Democrat in the State,
but this fact does not lessen the feeling
xhat Mr.. Bayard is exceeding his pre-
negatives in attempting to make him
his legatee. There has been so much
said against the Bayard dynasty that

ThAs opposition to these two ruling
families has been longt me gathering,
but 1t has been gradually growing until

will be hard TO stem. This brings to

Rev. DR.. McCook, of the
Tabernacle, has made an
exquisite book for capable
readers by dressing ants,
spiders. bees, bugs, all sorts
Of insects and worms, in
enough Of the human garb
to give them human interest,
apart from. the naturalist's
delight in the facts OF their
lives and fortunes. Beard.
the artist. has helped
the play with sketches. gro
t sque and witty and other
artists have evened up the
serious side OF the book. 1t
is a book with the double
purpose OF entertainment
and popular teaching OF en-
tomology. 1t resupposes
no learning. no interest even,
in the spe cisl subject. 1t
takes the reader to the be.
ginning Of knowledge Of in.
sect life by the means OF the
interest the subject is full Of,
by putting that interest for
ward, and also by the added
interest of fiction. 1t isn't
scientific, SO much as drama
tic, nor dramatic so much as
jocose, and yet its value
consists in its truth. 1t is
really a book Of learning I'M
der the disguise Of entertain
ment, The learning itself is
entertainment; but the book
is made for those who have
not yet experie need and do
not know the pleasure Of
learning and that means

Neat neckwear; neat is the

There's a great deal OF non
sense abroad about highness
OF style. Whatever OF truth
tie e is in it is in simple
eatness. But people differ
about matters of taste in
dress just as they differ
about matters of taste in
food. There's a process Of
education going on in the
civilized world that nobody
speaks OF. People are grow
ing out of fiery tastes into de-
licate tastes in every sense
There are stages Of growth
and development from to.

is the highest yet come to
the race. And somehow
neatness in mans i. differ.

of all words in both is neat

A WHISTLE THAT GOT HUSBAND.
How did the aged commodore get
his Young wife % | asked of an acquain-
tance.
''She whistled and he came to her,
my lad, was the reply, but she didn t
do it in the spirit Of the girl in the ballad.
1t happened six years ago this summer,
and in the very hotel in which we are
sitting. Garrison had been for forty
ears a widower. He was a testy old
fellow and had not been suspected of
caring a rap for women. The posses
sion of somewhere from al0,00O,000 to
Sl5. .000, 900, much of it in complicated
use for the promotion of railroad and
steamship schemes, had harassed him
all winter and spring, and he had come
down here for rest and quiet. He took
a suite of the best rooms in the row of
cottages which are An annex of the
main establishment, calculating that he
would there be removed from the hustle
of public house, and it was for few
days as he had fondly anticipated.
Then the family of John Mr.. Randall of
81. Louis took possession of adjoining
apartments. They numbered a half
dozen persons, including whistler.
Through the thin partition the commo-
dore heard and was annoyed by the
whistling. He disliked 1t exceedingly.
He was driven by it to evaporation.
There was boy in the Randall party,
and to him the veteran attributed the
noise. He would not. at that time,
hear the soft melody of the whistle, nor
its clever fidelity to the music which it
interpreted, but simply kept his ear.
open to it "a a torture. Randall was an
acquaintance of his. and one day he
said to him, as they sat chatting on the
veranda: THAT boy of yours will be
the death Of me. John. Won't you
ping his mouth. just to please me-"
oh, it amt the boy replied Ran
dali, but my daughter Here, T.etitia !
1T was a lovely girl of 20 who re-
sponded to the call and was presented
10 the commodore. She whistled for
him that evening to piano accompani-
ment, and it was no longer irritating to
h:m. They were married in the ensu-
ing October His wedding gift was a
million dollars in sound securities. :
