Withan angry exclamation the rider leaped
from his saddle, and, still holding tho horBos

leading his horse, he strobe over toward the
ycvng man, who, looking up, saw that he was
nearly six feet high, and very powerfully
built.

For moment Mr.. Monk, as he called him
self, seemed ready to draw his riding whip
across the young mans face, but, conquering
himself, he surveyed him from head to foot
with savage anger. Nothing daunted, the
young man returned his stare with something
very like supreme contempt. AT last, mutter-
ing beneath his breath, Mr.. Monk turned
away, and, leading his horse into the avenue,
closed tho cato and remounted; but even then
he did not Immediately depart, but remained
for some minutes, seated in the saddle, scowl-
ing over at the encqmpment.
Thus occupied, his face and figure set in
the gloomy framework of tho trees, he looked
even more forbidding than before His face
though naturally handsome was dark with
tempostuous passions, his eyes deep-set and
fierce, his clean-shaven jaw square and de-
termined, For the rest, his black hair, which
was thickly mixed with iron gray, fell almost
to his shoulders, and his upper lip was COW
cred with an iron gray mustache.
AT last, rs if satisfied with his scrutiny, Mr.
Monk turned his horse round with fierce
jerk of the rein, and rode rapidly away in
the shadow of the wood.

certain Wilmington weekly to sug-
gest the idea of having Delaware
College placed at Wilmington. The
idea is presumptious In the first
place the College would not be bene-
fitted by being taken to Whining
ton, because if there are students to
be gotten by the removal, these
same students can easily reach
the College as it now is. Placed
between two great trunk lines, the
facilities for reaching the institution

ent site cannot be bettered, place it
where you will. The College is
gaining in students each year, and

come one of the foremost Colleges

IL REGARD to conducting Agri-
cultural Fairs but few man can be
found of the same opinion. The
breeders of thoroughbred cattle
and pigs, believe that too much of
what is known as racing is INDUCED
in; that too high premiums are
offered and the result will be (in
their opinion) that the fair must
close. Their ideas are good but
as there are always two sides to
every subject we can show then
that fairs make money from the
racing program. In the first place
all horses entered in a race to CON
test for a purse, an entrance fee of
10 per cent. of the amount must be
paid before they can trot In
this way, in many instances,
the entrance money equals the
purse, and therefore the fair is
nothing out. Now, as to other pre-
miums given on horses, cattle and a
thousand and one little articles. eats
n mighty hole into the finances. All
exhibitors are entitled to one ticket,
and often get two, and in this way,
the premium is increased wonder

am now at loss to know which to COM
pliment most in Mannheimer Bros dry
goods house on the corner of Third and
Minnesota streets-the courtesy and polite
ness Of the clerks or the beautiful lines Of
goods now on exhibition for the spring and
summer. That this is a popular house, par
excellence, Is evidenced by its immense
patronage. That it must be matter of
pleasure as well as profit to shop there is
shown by the throngs of ladies who daily
gather there to see and buy what Is newest
and most elegant in fabrics and notions.
Mr.. Mannheimer, with whom / talked,
early counted upon doing large business this
season, aud the firm bought heavily and
most advantageously. To their country, as
well as city friends, they offer not only close
figures but goods which are simply the cream
of foreign and home manufacturers pro-
ducts With such rare judgment have the
purchases of this house been made that no
shclf-worn goods cucumber their room, but
all is bright, new and OF the most recent
fashion. And hence 1t is, that the daily
openings at this well-known house are very
largely attended by those who appreciate
what is either unique, novel or lovely in
ladies' dress. The store of Maunheimer
Bros. is an ever-changing kaleidoscope Of
the fashions, and new beauties in goods are
ever appearing in their handsome and ca

they can buy cheaper and enjoy what they
