A fair correspondent objects to the
Mother Hubbard costume MS 'indelicate'
and compliments the people of Norfolk
for inaugurating warfare against the
same. We think the warfare was inaugu-
rated months ago by the authorities of
Chicago, an action which evoked con
siderable criticism ut the time. We can
not understand why the Mother Hubbard
should be stigmatizedas ''indelicate, +" but
we do think it is generally regarded here
as ungraceful, ii not slouchy, and that
this reason has been strong and prevalent
enough to forbid Its use by any consider
able number of Wilmington ladies.

The Richmond States report Of
Mahone's convention is refreshing read
ing this hot weather. That convention
must certainly have been almost as enter

hight of the circus there was a general
rush to the front the gas Jets illuminated
hundreds of red and angry faces men
seized each other and scuflled; yells
shook the building very robust English
took the place of polished oratory, and
above the whole din rose the shout of o
Riddleberger man to his colleagues te

stilled the tumult with wave of hi

1t would be interesting to have re-
ceipt for one accomplishment with which
John Roach is credited by his many jour
nalistic biogrnphers--that is, how years ago
as n boy in foundry he saved 81 800 in
three years. The statement naturally
leads one to infer that he went into
politics early, Perhaps he manipulated
the vote of the foundry before lie was OF
nge. The achievement has the same
peculiar look noticeable in many Of
Roach's contracts, an apparent ability to
snye moro money thnn he receives

Marshal McMullen has been so urbane
andaecommodating and has so we'll admin
istered the general duties of his office
that even many of our people who are
politically opposed to him are rather
sorry than otherwise to see the official axe
fall. We wish the retiring marshal all
manner of good luck in the calmer arena
of agricultural life, to which he is about
to return. May his field crops and
orchards yield abundantly and his pigs
and pumpkins be the envy Of all the
other farmers round about him.

ACCOMMODATING u small capital. After
years of struggle he managed to establish
n small foundry of his own in New York
which grew steadily in the magnitude of
the business which was done until it
became known as the 'Etna Iron
Works, an establishment in which the
largest engines which had been con-
structed in the United States up to that
time were built. John Roach fuurished
and in the course of few years he had
bought the Morgan iron works, the
Neptune, the Franklin Forge and the
Allaire works, iu which he had first
secured employment in this country.
In November, 1871, Mr.. Roach bought
the ship yards at Chester from Reany
Sons d Archbold and began the work Of
building iron ships. An idea of the
amount of work done at the Chester
yards since Mr.. Roach purchased them il
1871 can be gained from the following

there up TO September 1883,
