THE POLITICAL FIGHT AT
DOVER.


The Dover correspondent of the
Daily Republican after discussing the
possibilities of the Constitutional
Amendments and the factional differ
ences that enter into the contest says
There is one thing here that can
not be discounted that is that the
fight between the two factions of the
Democratic party here is very bitter.
just now the Salisbury wing is on the
defensive. 1t was unceremoniouslv
turned under at the commencement of
the present session, and though in a
hand to hand encounter it shows con-
siderable strength, it cannot be disguis-
cd that some of the strongest under
pinning of the faction has been knocked
away. Though it may not have an
actual majority in the Legislature. it
has enough votes to defeat the amend
ment, and it is generally believed that
nearly all the votes cast against the
amendment will come from the Sauls-
bury wing.
But child may have the power to
throw lighted match into keg of
powder, and it may blow things up
generally. but it will most likely blow
the child up too. The question is, will
the Salisbury child dare throw the
match into this amendment magazine?
If it would not be the greatest sufferer,
the match would certainly be thrown.
But here is a United States Senator
in all probability to be elected by the
present Legislature. 1t is strongly be-
lieved that Mr.. Bayard could have
! publicly announced any time within
! the past three weeks that he was going
/ into Cleveland's Cabinet, but as we
have already intimated, he is holding
/ on to his CRISP, and as there is no other
/ Bayard to step into his shoes, it is his
most sincere desire that Mr.. Gray shall
j be his successor. To this there will be
a general demurrer by the Salisbury
wing, and who knows in these days of
swapping and trading votes what result
this will have upon the success of the
amendments. Statesman Rankin from
Sussex says the Senator must come
from that county, be he ex-COngress-
man Z. L. Martin or be he Associate
Justice WOOtten, and in this the other
lesser statesmen of Sussex in the Leg
islature agree.
"'Sussex County has had but two
United States Senators in one hundred
years. says statesman Rankin, and as
New Castle County is to have a cabinet
office, she can yield the SenatOrship to
Sussex, especially as the Bayard dynas-
ty has about spun out. AS the COnsti'
tutional amendment needs votes, who
knows how many may be given to q
Sussex United States Senator to secure
them? So it goes at Dover. 1t is moi
SO big as Albany, nor is Delaware quite
as large as New York State, but the
struggle to elect William NJ. Evarts tt
the United States Senate from that
State will be as nothing, compared tC
the conflicting political interests thai
will rack and rock the little Diamond
State from Claymont to Delmar within
the next thirty days"

TlG Odd Fellows Cemetery
OF
SMYRNA, DEL.

The Trustees of this Cemetery are now
ready to sell lots and issue deeds for the
same. The size Of whole lot is 3OX32 feet
and the prices are as follows: For II whole
lot. $50 half lot $50; quarter lot. SO.
There is not u badly situated lot in the
Cemetery, but every one has a choice Of
location, and there being but one price
according to size enables those first select
ing to get their choice of location, and as
there have been several already sold, we
would advise those who have no place of
burial that it will be to their advantage to
select them as early as possible.
This is undoubtedly the hest location in
this vicinity for Cemetery, being all high
and a nearly level piece Of land, beauti-
fully situated on the State road, within
sight of the town, and yet at such dis
lance from it as to guarantee that it will
never be used for other than Cemetery pur-
poses land the deed of agreement positively
forbids its use for any other purpose than
that of sepulture) For further particulars

DRAWING DRAFTS ON THE FUTURE

A man in China endowed with much
forethought can make some provision
for his own future comfort The priests
have considerably organized bank for
the spirit world. To this the provident
may remit large sums during their life
time, and can draw on the bank as soon
as they reach the dark country. The
priests periodically announce their in
tention of remitting money on certain
day, and invite all who have any to de-
posit to bring it. All who feel doubtful
of the generosity of their next heirs ac-
cOrdingly come and buy from the priests
rs much as they can afford of the tinfoil
paper money.which is current among the
spirits 1t is an excellent investment,
as for handful of brass cash, altogether
worth about one penny, they will receive
sycee, ie., the boat-shaped blocks OF
silvery looking tinfoil, bearing a spirit
unl value of about $50. Paper houses,
furniture, and clothes may in like man.
ner be purchased aud stored beforehand
in the happy security that neither moth
nor rust shall corrupt them neither shall
thieves break through and steal When
the depositor (probably poor coolie Ol
an aged beggar) has invested his little
savings i'll this precious rubbish in the
ecclesiastical bazaar he delivers it to
the priest, together with Il sum of real
money as commission. For this the
the priest gives a written receipt AL
| this din is thrown into a large boat,
! 1t is a framework of reeds and bamboo
mast, and its sails and plnnking are Of
paper. When all the depositors have
made their payments, the priests wall
several times around the boat, chanting
some incautatiOn, tlen simultaneously
set fire to both ends, and the paper fab
ric vanishes i'll flush of flame. Th
priests bid the deposiiors keep their Ger
tihcates with all care, and give them t
some trustworthy person to burn afte

Three Lessons

There are three lessons would write,
Three words with golden pen,
In tracings Of eternal light
Upon the hearts Of men.
Have Hopel Though clouds envirson round,
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow,
No night but hath its morn.
Have Faith! Where'er thy bark is driven,
The cahn's disport. the teinpest's mirth.
Know this. God rules the host of Heaven,
Theinhabitants Of earth!
Have Love! Not love alone for one.
But man as man thy brother call
And scatter. like the circling sun,
They charities on all.
Thus grave these words upon thy soul,
Hope. Faith and Love : and thou shall find
Strength when hfe's surges maddest roll,
Light. when thou else vert blind.

RAILROADS.

After the close of the rebellion rail
roads that had been contemplated,
or partially completed soon were fin
ished to Kansas, and then was Leav-
enworth's chance lost, by allowing
Kansas City to first construct a railroad
bridge, and give the constructing COM
panies invitations to unite their des-
tiny with hers. Ever since then the
success of the city has been assured
sixteen roads now steam proudly into
her Union Depot whose restaurant
feeds more than one thousand people a
day. Four more roads are to be built
in here this year.
The city has continued to grow, un-
daunted by panic or depression, heI
clearings house shows no loss but q
gain, though small, in times of depres'
sion on every previous week OF heI
history. Her cattle and live stock ex.
change is a marvel and it may be said
to be the distinctive feature of this sue
cess. What -four is to Minneapolis

The law makers Of Bavaria have
become tired of supporting the children
of pauper parents, who are getting DIS
acreeably numerous in that ancient
kingdom. They have accordingly
passed a law forbiddins the marriage oil
men and women who have not sufficient
means to support themselves, or who
have at any time within a period OF
three years Immediately preceding their
proposed marriage received assistance
from the public funds, who have not
paid their taxes, or who, there are rea-
sons to suspect, may be unable TO sup
port the families that may result from
such union. 1t has been the custom
in nearly all ages among almost all ma
tons to encourage marriages, and early
marriages at that. Some even went SO
far as 10 impose fines on celibacy. But
this appears to be the first instance on
record where rePressive measures have
been invoked against matrimony.

"A New YORK dispatch says: The
