over at Last.

BY reference to both our Geographic
and local pages 1t will be seen that the
great strike is over at last. We are
selfish enough to say that we regard
the conditions of compromise, from
our standpoint, as unimportant COM
pared with the end attained-thc ac-
tual aud complete restoration of bust
ness. This strike, brief as it was, has
taught Texas the vast Importance of
this great artery of trade, its indis-
pensable character and its vast utility.
Texas, without the great Missouri Pa
cific, would go back to where she was
In '76, and not all the other roads and
their combinations could drag her up
from the depression. We rejoice sim
cerely that she has come to life again,
and the throbbing of the life now
flowing in this artery is felt in all
parts of the state, and a new
and healthier tone is already OBJ
servable.

sense IN meeting the men on as liberal
a basis as they unquestionably did.

The Rev. DIR. Whedon, for over a
quarter of century editor Of the Quar-
terty ReUie,C and considered one of the
most learned and popular divines
of the Methodist denomination shortly
before his death few weeks ago wrote
an article under the head of the CYAN
ished Specter" which was published
subsequently in the New York Iadepen-
dent which evolves a new and curious
theory as to disembodied spirits. His
theory has been summarized as follows.
His idea was that the entire ner-
VOus system in human being. not the
contents of the Uranium alone. cOnsti-
tuted the mind. Therefore. the ramifi-
cations of the nerves, forming in them
selves a shape conforming exactly to
that OF the whole figure, made the soul
OF man just like his body as far as con-
lguration was concerned. He believed
that at death this contour and sem
blance ofthe dead body separated itself
and became the eternal form of the
spirit, visible to its fellows. and. under
some conditions, to terrestrial folks.
DR.. Wheden described how the soul
gets out of the body. Emerging uD-
ward he says, the spirit awakes into
the pure ether-a blessed atmosphere
This paradisiac ether is an eGiuence
from the divine essence, and the eman-
cipated soul bathes, swims, lives in its
own genial and native element. Para
disc thus pervades our air above and
around us, and at death the spirit en-
-ers thereintO as through veil He
minated that apparations are glimpses |

'ected body of Christ, he says, walk

A Pestiferous Hole.

The residents of North street. though
Isolated by nearly the breadth of a
square from their fellow citizens of the
town are nevertheless a part of them
with the same senses of seeing, smell
ing, feeling, &C., which they think
should be seen after with something
like the same regard for their comfort
and health as pertains to the rest of the
community. What is complained of is
fully set forth in a communication in
another column under the head of
" A Bad Lot" not an inappropriate
title the reader will conclude, when he
has got to the end of the catalogue as
enumerated. Last week Il dead hog
was carried there from the vicinity of
the Delaware House, to which has
been subsequently added dead cat
from the immediate neighbOrhood. A
dweller of the neighborhOod hunted up
the negro who brought the dead hog
and made him bury it under threat of
prosecution, and the cat had a few
handiuls of dirt thrown over it like
wise, but what is wanted is that the
brick kiln be not overlooked as an iso-
lated place but rather it be subject to
the authorities, with all the sanitary
that are claimed for anV
other part of the town.

SEVERAL weeks ago the fact that a
man had been whipped at the whip
ping post in Baltimore under the pro-
visions of a recent law enacted in
Maryland to punish wife-beaters went
the rounds Of the press of the nation.
generally with an editorial approval.
But there seems under the development
of the law to be two sides to the dues-
tion, and now the husbands are claim
ing protection from their belligerent
wives. A late issue of the Baltimore
Sun gives an account Of man request
ing that warrent be issued for the ar.
rest of his wife who had scratched his
face and pummelIed him m lively
style, saying he would have given her
a beating had he not been afraid of the
whipping-pOst. The Sun gives the
further facts in relation to the law:
A few days ago a purly German
complained about his wife tbrasbin0
him, and wanted to know if she could
be lashed at the post. He was very
much disgusted when the law was ex-
planned to him as applying only to
husbands. Several days later three in
jured husbands declared at the station
house that they would never vote
again for the author of the wife-beat-
ing law unless he would promise to in
trOduce an amendment providing pun
ishment for husband beaters. Cant.
Delanty says that before the present
law was passed there were one or two
cases of wife beating tried at the south
ern station every day. In most of the
cases the women would refuse to prose-
cute after having laid the charges.
THE law has done more good than
people are aware" said the Captain"

then drew out Il lot of what puTpOrted
to be gold chains, saying that each
purchaser would receive two presents
The chains went off lively at SIOO
each until his stock of two dozen or
more were sold, when he offered what
looked like gold watches for 81 90 and
about an equal number of these were

when the purchasers were told that
they had already been paid-in

THE uplifted axe has fallen at last
in the appointment of Chas. VI. Newlin
Marshall of the District of Delaware in
the place of Ii. H. Mc1Iullen. The
Democrats had begun to distrust the
Administration at Washington for the
long delay in turning out the Republ-
cans, and this break is of course highly
pleasing, as it would indicate that
Delaware's turn at the Offices had
come. The other significant fact is
that it was a removal and not an expi-
ration, Mr.. McMuIlen having only a
few months or only until next Nav. to
run. The inference of those seeking
offices is that there will soon be clean
sweep, with little regard to the Civil
Service law, which has but few ad-
mirers in Delaware.

Those who habitually follow up the

the only lcgalized lottery company in
the country, and in many States pub
iishers are debarred by law from Civ

Ihe vote on the question of whether

amount OF $4,000 to construct water
works which was going on when we

lOoI to 449 against-a majority of 638
on the side of water works. OF the
negative votes more than one-tbird

uals to be less than might be indicated
by the vote. When the people came
to face the question fairly, manv who

responsibility of defeating the measure.

ana voted for it, as was the case in sew
eral instances. There were some
thirty women who voted, only about
seven of these against it, and with sew
eral of these it is fair to presume there
was dual influence in determining the
vote IN that way. The ladies it would
appear have been influenced bv their
higher or intuitive perceptions which
rise above the simple business trans
actions of dollars and cents in "savinp

erty holders who voted, three for and
one against.
Now that the Town Commissioners
have the authority Of the people. the
owners OF property, to issue bonds for

construct water works, they have a
grave responsibility resting ON their
