70 Whom q lfau Concern;

In the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
OF December 81, there appeared state
ment In the form OF q card from DIR. j. B.
Henion, Of this city, recounting his re-
narkable recovery from Brights disease
OF the kidneys, after several doctors of
prominence had given him up, by the use
of Warmers Safe Cure. We are person.
ally or by reputation acquainted with DIR.
Henion, and we believe he would publish
no statement not literally true. We are
also personally or by reputation well ac-
quainted with II. II. Warner e. Co., pro-
prietors Of that remedy, whose CONNER
cial and personal standing in this COM
munity are Of tho highest order, and we
believe that they would not publish any
statements which were not literally and
strictly true in every particular.

The Ash Barrel.

| The asf- barrel is an ancient and indis,
pensah'c recessity of our civilization
! Th1agh tt may not be cot ,.ed among the
attractions, ornaments, or ,axu,fes of exist
ence,-tliough we do not point with pride to
its STAYED and bulged-in sides, yet the ash
barrel may be looked upon as the only one
of our ancient institutions that has persist
emily maintained its place despite the muta-
tons of all other mundane affairs. Its right
to dwell among us is premptory. We can
not do without it.
Commonly, writers have trite, disre-
spectful way of recurring to this venerable
institution. But the ash barrel has its re-
venge, 1t is a tyIant in its own way
These windy Gays of boisterous March,
as the confding citizen marches up Market
street, he does not see his treacherous enc
mics, the ash-barrels, posted like sentinels
at regular distances along the side walk and
patiently awaiting his approach. He hies
him jagG,..is along the street in the bright,
bracing sunny air. Pre-occupied, on bus
iness-he has no misgivings. A sudden
breeze gets up. Poufl A cloud of dust,
white and gritty is shot with unerring aim
into the victims eyes, ears, and mouth.
Expostulation is useless. Energetic lau-
guage ouly vain. Keep your eyes closed
and rush for the nearest refuge And you
may thank your stars if you escape broad
side salute from each barrel in succession as
you run the gauntlet.
There is not much harm ione-only lit
tie lime dust, or cinders in the eyes, entail
ing perhaps few hours annoyance. Per
haps new bonnet or dress spoiled. Your
temper is Of no account. You have stood
the nuisance SO long, you can now do so for
the rest of your life.
Next time you will know better than to
breezy month Of March when the formida-
Bile ash-baTel stands threateningly upon the
side walk.
Such an innovation as the idea of a cover
for the ash-barrel is more of problem than
the average citizen cares to engage Or City
Council to consider without legislation at
Dover were invoked upon the question.
A municipal enactment for the suppress
sion of the uncovered ash-barrel might per
haps be successfully engineered.

DEL, SATURDAY, MARCH IA. 1885.

But happily for the fair name Of Della
ware there is no positive indication that any o.
her Representatives at Dover will degrade
their manhood and smirch their states es-
cutcheon by unhallowed alliances. The
members of the Legislature would not dare
ignore the wishes of their constituents and
the record of the State vote last November
is an unmistakable index of the puisations
of the public heart.
The handsome majority vote accorded to
Mr., Lore in the last election unhestatingly
proclaims him man of the people and in
accordance with that expressed wish, it only
remains for the Legislature to designate
him Senator for the people,

Our City Schools.

No exception can be taken to DIR. Short
lidge's vigorous condemnation of those
teachers in the public schools whose intelll-
gence suggests such methods Of teaching as
that of exacting from their pupils the task
of memorizing history lessons verbatim.
If this exists it is nothing less than species
of petty tyranny, unProductive of any good
whatever.
1t is strange that such antique methods
of teaching should come to light as existing
in our public schools to-day, II is intolera-
BILE. These were the educational processes
in vogue two generations ago in the old
| 'fdstrick skule."
That these things should be discovered
and brought to the ears OF the public by a
member of the School Committee of Health
suggested the question as to where is the
city superintendent of schools and what is
he doing?
OBTAINING young children in school after
the regular dismissal is another grievance
which merits equally strong condemnation
If they cannot acquire their lessons il

A Grand Tribute to Lore.

The finest tribute to the popularity of the
Hon. CHAs. B. LORE all over the State Of
Delaware is the unfortunate admission by
the Bayard faction down at Dover that
should Mr.. LORE be sent to the Senate his
elevation will result in the election of Re-
publican Congressman.
They candidly admit that NO other Demo
crat could stand before the people and re-
ceive such tremendously popular vote as
Mr.. LORE.
While this is undoubtedly true as regards
the peoples favorite, the question arises is
the Bayard administration faction in such a
distressed condition, is it SO timorous and
weak that it has not a champion strong
nough to stand before the people on hi'
wn merits,

The Curb Stone Market.

Clerk of the Market Writ has addressed
some remarks to an evening cotemporary
upon the subject of the curbstone market.
The value of his remarks seems to be that
there is a great deal of wraugling, noisy
bartering and disturbance going on in the
market localities. That farmers and tuck
ers lose too many days in the year in secur-
ing their places in the market. And last he
suggests that the farmers and truckers pay
a certain sum for the privilege of their
stands. He closes by making certain minor
suggestions of detail in regard to hours and
other regulations. But in all these sugges-
tion we fail to see the slightest considera-
ton given to the rights of the buyer.
This free curbstone market is an ancient
institution, privilege Of the poor citizen.
There are two primary elements in the mar
ket the buyer and the seller. Other condi.

The Peoples Wish.

A contributor to a morning contemporary
asks that the Legislature at Dover make
unapimous tender of the vacant Senatorship
10 the Hon. CHAs. B. LORE. The best Of
reason, merit, is given for this request. To
this, we would add in seconding the sugges
ton, that it is the popular will that the
Hon. CHAs. B. LORE be our next Senate /

To the Land of Flowers.

The recent appropriation of s400, 900 b!
the National Government to the New
Orleans Exposition will inject new life int
that stupendous enterprise, and those con
templating visit to the Exposition will dc
well to remember that April is the delight.
fully grand month of the year to visit the
extreme South. The early part of April is
to the South what the balmy middle of May
is to the North. &
Not only will the natural attractions be
most interesting III April, but the Exposition
will also be, at that time, in the very zenith
of its completeness, and in order that ample
opportunities may be afforded our people for
visiting the Exposition at that time, Mr.. O..
r. Mackenzie, the Passenger Agent of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has
been induced to take charge of special ex-
cursion which will leave Broad Street Sta
tion, Philadeldhia, at 7.20 Tuesday morning,
March 31st. The mere mention of Mr..
Mackenzie's name in connection with the
supervision and management of this excur-
sion is sufficient warranty that all of the
luxurious comforts known to modern rail
way travel will be showered upon those par
ticipating in this the last grand excursion of
the season to the Exposition.
The better class of all communities recog-
nize the propriety of taking a brief respite
from labor at a season of the year when the
pleasures of ourneying from place can be
enjoyed without being overcome with either
dust or heat, and those who have the oppor-
tunity for two weeks vacation will find
themselves on the return not only having
more distinct idea of the yastness of the
country, but will also find themselves better
prepared, physically, for entering upon their
Spiinga and Summer engagements. Business
men must either take an occasional rest or
suffer the consequences of brain involve
ment.
Mr. Mackenzie gave his personal super
vision to the Knight Templars excursion
which went to New Orleans on the 10th of
last month, and the Sir Knights were loud
in their praises of the kindness and courtesy
meted out to them by Mr.. Mackenzie, and
the programme Of their journey was carried
out to the letter, save the trip to Mammoth
Cave, which the Knights asked to have dis
pensed with owing the unusual severity of
the weather. The Knights were a brave
people and would not have faltered, did
duty call, to brave the canon's mouth, but
the thought Of riding ten miles, each way,
with the Thermometer at ? degrees, IN the
farmer was part of che contract which
they felt would be more hOnored in its breach
than its observance, and that explains why
the Cave was not visited. Another very
pleasant feature connected with the coming
excursion is that if any number of Will
mingtonians will enroll themselves sufic-
iently early special car will be devoted to
them, and by this sort Of a family picnic

THE THEFT OF A PENSAONs
Z. G. Chamberlain, of WalltngfOrd,
Arrested-A Letter and a Pension
Check.
Some time ago Mrs. Lucinia Hopkins, Of
Middletown, took by mistake from the post
Office letter directed to Mrs. Fanny Hop
kins. She handed the letter without open
ing it to young man named E. G. Cham
berlain, who was at work about the house,
and told him to take it back to the Office.
He kept the letter, which contained pension
check and voucher, for some time and finally
opened it in his room in Wallingford.
Officer Reilly, of Wallingford, suspected
the young man and arrested him Monday
evening and brought him to New Haven for
trial yesterday. The officer said yesterday
that his first intimation of the robbery was
when workman in factory in Wallingford
told him of a voucher. marked CAPRI fool'
which had been left by Chamberlain at the
shop. Mr.. Reilly by comparison of circum-
stances became convinced that Cham
berlain had stolen the voucher; he
went to Hartford and was ap-
pointed by United States Marshal Kinney to
look up the case. Having got out warrant
for Chamberlain, he went to his room in
Wallingford where he found him with the
check on his person. The check was in
dorsed, but the prisoner says that he made
no attempt to pass it.
Chamberlain was brought before Commits
sioner Pratt yesterday afternoon. The case
was continued until Friday at 1870 o'clock
in the United States court room. The bonds
were placed at $500. United States Assistant
District Attorney Hart was present to prose-
