The breaking out of the cholera in
Europe although there is little pros
pect that it will cross the Atlantic.
nevertheless causes n discussion of the
sanitary methods proper to use in the
time of epidemics. A contemporary
says very truly that perfectly healthy
people allow fright to take possession
of them to such degree that nutrition
suffers and health departs, rendering
them fit subjects for the destroyer.
Others, less timid but quite as foolish.
commence to diet themselves. Though
they have enjoyed good health under
their usual dietary, they fancy it a bad
one for cholera. They leave of the
fruit and vegetables that maintained
their bowels in good order, they dis
continue the coffee that has warded off
malaria, and they try to leave off
drinking at their meals or, if the re-
verse of these has been their habit.
they take to these in the hope of OBJ
tanning benefit. Such changes are dis
astrous. The testimony of wise physi-
clans is to the effect that season of
epidemic is not a season to try food ex-
periments. According to the vulgar
adage it is not advisable to swap horses
in the middle Of the stream. Itis wise,
therefore, to worry rs little as possible
about an epidemic, and to cat, drink
and conduct ones self exactly as we
ordinarily do when in good health, ex-
cepting only the omission of vices
which. our own experience warns us
against.

WOODSTOCK, Conn, celebrated the
Fourth as it always does, with great
spirit, having among its speakers DR..
Geo. B. Loring, U. 5. Commissioner of
Agriculture Joseph Cook, of Boston :;
Benson J. Losing, the historian, and
Rev. II. A. StinsOn, of Worcester,
Mass. The latter's address was on
Aggressive Reformation" He began
with the statement that the life of the
Nation depends upon the continuance
of the forces that called it into being.
Those forces, he said, were the trust
wOrthiness of the common people, faith
in the honor of principle and truth,
and the power of individual character
The agency that was needed to-day
for the preservation of the Republic
was widespread spirit of aggressive
reformation. Whatever, saidthe speak
er, threatens to corrupt the COM
mon people, and whatever tends to
discredit principle and truth must be
antagOnized, and in order that their
defence of the State may be aggressive
the people must see to it that their own
lives are clean, their own records clear
as the day. Mr.. StinsOn continued his
address as follows:
" Why is it that men of unquestioned
personal courage are so 10th to lead
the community in suppressing agrees
i've forms of evil, or so timid in attack
ing defiant eVil-dOers? MANY
are absorbed in their own concerns.
many are Indifferent, many do not re-
| alize the danger, and many, alas are
afraid of mud" They know thatthe
moment they speak they will be the
object of a counter attack, which thev
fear. There is often a deed in their
own past which they do not want
again TO face, or a present practice
they would not have exposed, or a
dormant suspicion they fear to arouse
! They know the mud will stick; there.
| fore they shrink from encountering il
| On for the men who can look theiI
! fellows in the eye and smte evil with
their might e.. Liberty, that used
to find her refuge in the mountains
now that, in the progress of civilization
the mountains are levelled and the
highway is made through the sea, must
seek her abode in the hearts of men
To you, men of America, is committed
a noble trust. In other lands Liberty
is betrayed in the house of heI
friends. The dagger of the Nihilist
the dynamite OF the Invincible, the pc
troleum of the Commune and the fur
lOus atheism Of the International are
immOlating the liberty they would de
fend. The one requirement, TO-DAY
and always, is that you, the average
citizen, you Of the common people, be
lieve in the honor of your country, anC
live so true and pure life that yol
can courageOusly maintain il"

THE Democratic National Conven-
ton assembled yesterday at Chicago
and organized temporarily by making
Hon. r. B. Hubbard, of Texas, chair
man. In addition to the delegates a
very large crowd of visitors are in at
tendance. Delaware is represented by
over 100 men who arrived there on
Saturday and Sunday and established
headquarters where thousands of cop
les of the public record of Mr.. Bayard
were on hand, and were distributed to
all cOmers. The record commences
with Mr.. Bayard's Dover speech, of
which 50 much has been said, and fol-
lows with cOpiOus extracts from his
speeches in the Senate which have di-
vided parties in the past fifteen years.
The Delawareans were prominent in
moving around with their white satin
badges with the name of Bayard
stamped in gold across the centre. 1t
is believed that if the delegates were
allowed to vote their individual prefer
ences the choice would fall on Mr..
Bayard, but the influence of the unit
rule under the pressure of the large
States makes this impossible. The
news to-day indicates that the ballot
ing will start with Cleaveland largely
in the lead. Kelley and Tammany
Hall have been heavily sat down on.
The platform will probably be pre-
sented to-day and the balloting imme-
diately follow its adoption.

THOSE of our citizens who wish to
join the Sunday school excursion from
Dover to RehobOth next Wednesday,
may probably be able to make ar
rangements with Superintendent Mills
to go that morning from Clayton, as
the train will be partly made up from
there. We hear of several of our peO-
pie who intend joining it, The round
trip ticket will be $3.50.
THE paper that is always looking out
for a little mistake in our columns
feels an immunity for its own because
it has been let pass. In its last issue it
had the following item:
"The Town Hall looks like a new build
ing now. The aldermans office has also
been repapered and grained, and the old
stairway leading into the hall has been re-
nOVed. One eyesOre still remains, the dis
graceful lookup"
How an editor can draw on his
imagination, is apparent in the fact
that when the paper was printed and
not until next day had the painters
brush touched the alderman's office
and the papering was not done until
this week. The same model of correct
ness had a gentleman spending the
Fourth here, when he had not been
in the town for some weeks.
A year ago a pet dog belonging to
one of our citizens disappeared and
had long since been given up as lost.
Recently a member of the family was
riding in the direction of MillingtOn
when what should he see in the road
but their old pet, shadow only of his
former self. The recognition was mu-
tual the dog manifesting especial de-
light. He was taken into the carriage
and on reaching, after IL forty miles
ride, his old home in this town, greeted
each member of the family with the
most expressive marks of affection
The owner had sold Il horse a short
time before the dogs disappearance
that he used to follow often when to
the team, and it is supposed that he
saw the horse in town some day and
| followed it to its new home, as both
were ON the same farm.
THE editor of our "patent outside
cotemporary in his effort to fish out Il
slight mistake from among our items
steps aside from legitimate journalism
10 write n communication for his own
paper with a signature, and under the
head Wrong Again" says that John
Jones and not J. p. Collins has the
finest field Of corn in Thoroughfare
Neck. We published the item as the
information came to us, as minor
mention, but our cotemporary, who
sees the biggest things in trihes, takes
the trouble to correct it by publishing
under a caption that John Jones had a
much better field. Now, to show how
near the error hunter is right, an old
residenter of Thoroughfare Neck tells
us there is no such man as John
Jones" living in that Neck, and he
says if there is, let the editor first find
him and then find his field of corn.

A New Use for Pepper.

A week or SO ago three citizens. two
OF them living in the country arranged
to 60 and see a certain farm that was

long whip, but for some reason this
arrangement could not be carried into

been turned out to pasture in the

The claims made by some agents for
the capacity of their respective ma
chimes when put in the harvest field
seem quite large, but of course the
number of acres of wheat that may be
cut in day depends on many more
conditions than the width of the cut
ting bar. And when, therefore, we hear
of % and 30 acres of wheat having
been cut in single day by a self-bind-
er, the credit should not, perhaps, go 50
much to the particular binder perform
ing this amount of work, for any of
them can do it, as to the speed of the
team which supplies the motive power,
together with other considerations
which combine to make q successful
run. We have heard of a number of
big days work having been done by
the various machines employed in our
community. Each agent may accord
ingly get testimonial to the merit of
his especial machine.

Sale OF Lots at Woodland Beach.

Some weeks ago John II. Honccker
surveyed and made u plot of l64 build
ing lots at Woodland Beach. Litho-
graphed copies of this plot have been
struck oil and largely circulated for
the purpose OF inducing buyers. On
Thursday last Mr.. HOflecker, assisted
by his son Walter, rctraced the lines of
the streets indicated on the plot and
drove stakes at all the corners, 50 that
parties contemplating purchasing can
now plainly see the shape and relative
position Of the several streets and lots.
On Friday next, the llth inst. the
Thomas C2yCle will make an excursion
to Woodland for the special purpose of
bringing buyers to attend the public csale
of these lots which will then be made.
1t Is expected that the attendance will
be very large and the bidding free.
Woodland Beach certainly offers large
Inducements and superior advantages
to those wishing to erect Summer cot
ta9es on our shore. The ground CON
tanning these lots is all high. and
stretches along the water front both
above and below the hotel and has for
its rear boundary the public road.
Each lot therefore is easy of access. 1t
is in daily communication by steamer
Thomas C3yde with Philadelphia. and
within eight miles Of Smyrna where is
to be found ample railroad facilities
and telegraphic communication. The
management therefore confidently ex-
poets success at the sale on Friday next
which will take place after the arrival
of the Clyde.
