A Swedish Goaiva.

The I'd of February in Sweden is con-
o;dered the midwinter day. In the era
Of paganism it vas a great festival in
honor of the heroine Goa or Cola, del
fed under the name of Disa, to whom
the whole month wa consecrated be-
sides. The legend of Goa is very curl
ous. 1t states that at OF time when the
country was visited by a frightful fam.
inc. the national assembly decided that,
in order to alleviate the general distress,
Il would be necessary to put to death
a mart of the population, especially the
old and infrm. Goa alone dared topro-
test loudly, and claimed to able to pro-
nose a means of remedying the dearth,
which would prove more ~efficacious as
we'll as more humane. The King or
dered the execution of the decree to be
n,stponed but in the interim, desiring
10 test the sagacity of the young girl,
and to confound her audacity, he sent
her word he would duly receive her On
condition that she would come to his
dwelling neither on foot nor on horse
back, nor in q vehicle, neither dressed
nor nndressed, neither in the course Of
a year nor during any particular month,
neither by day nor by night. Goa solv-
ed the enigma, She came to the Kings
house ON a sIedge drawn by a goat, hold
ing on to the side of the sledge, with one
leg resting on the pole of the sledge, the
other on the goat. She wor a fishing
net only in lieu of garments, and she
came exactly at the epoch of the soils
tice, when the month is still undetsrmin-
ed, al the time of a full moon, but while
it was yet twilight. Being permitted to
speak, she advised that the old and in
firm, in lieu of being exterminated,
should be merely sent to the still I'M
peopled parts of the country, where
they would be able to obtain the means
of existence without being any burden
to the community. The King liked the
advice, and as the adviser had charmed
him by her beauty and her wit, he took
her for his wife.-Figaro.

DIR. COOPER TO THE POLICE.


To the Hon. Mayor and Police of Viii
mington:- -Gentlemen-Some time ago-a
ganzing charity in Philadelphia, by permis-
sion Of the Mayor, prevailed upon DIR. j.
William White, lecturer in the University
of Pennsylvania, to deliver to the police
force of that city course of lectures or
practical talks, instructing them-the police
and in fact all other intelligent persons
who desired to qualify themselves-how to
aid in cases of accident or emergency.
The police of Philadelphia have already,
time and again. demonstrated the value of
this instruction, and those people who
have been unfortunate enough to need such
aid have felt the benefits. More than one
life has thus been saved and many prolong-
ed. What has been proved to be of advant-
age in the hands of the police in Philadel-
phia must also reap much good in the hands
of the police Of our city.
1t is rather singular that the Charity Soci-
ETY. of Wilmington had not instituted SINH
lar measures for the benefit of your prede-
cessors on the force, and also yourselves
But they have large and noble work to do
and although this duty is within their prov
ince, think the society will feel very glad
that the medical profession have not waited
for their society's consultations but have
yielded their services and instruction to
you thus early aud gratuitously.
The homeopathic fraternity Of yom city
recognizing the benefits the people, espec-
tally the unfortunate-would derive from
such instructions, took the liberty of rec
ommending to the Mayor that he permit
and aid his police force to be thus qualified
He, COO, perceived the possible advantages
you would then possess, and retaliated upon
us for our impertinence by requesting us to
carry out our suggestions practically, and
insisted that we do it Immediately. So the
homDopaths took upon themselves the duty
and at a recent meeting prepared roster
or schedule, and assigned several sub
jects SO that the task would net fall too
heavily upon any one.
The meeting designated me TO meet you
first and introduce to you our object, which,
you understand, is to instruct you as best
we can, how to render that intelligent aid
to cases of accident and emergency, which
they instantly and imperatively demand
That aid, which if promptly bestowed may
save life-at least give great comfort, and
which you, if properly qualified, can admin
lister until such time as the doctor may ar

Bayard and Delaware.

Thomas F. Bay Secretary of State,
aud erstwhile lifelong Senator from this
State has exercised what influence he has
and all the rights Of patronage which are
bis perquisites in the high office he holds
by extending his favors in Washington to
Republicans. Even the position Of messen-
gers, snug little bcrths, modest as they are,
are filled by Republicans of Mr.. Bayard's S
choice.
1t may be Seen that in this matter the
Secretary of State is consistent in his deep
schemes of Civil Service Reform. He
surrounds himself with evidence of his
pecuilr theories of pure Democratic
administration Not single Delawarean
dare darben the Threshold of the
Department Of State. Mr. Bayard is sternly
determined that not alone in the department
but in those positions, where h.. himself has
personal sway, not one of that prescribed

methods arc perhaps enigmatical but there
dare be no question as to their purity. In
Delaware We Democrats worship him from
habitude, and in Washington, Republicans
who surround him and are his beneficiaries,
are amused and surprised at The fayors he
conicrs upon them. Democrats are satls-
fled for they pin er faith to their ancient
belief in tho name Of Bayard, and the
Republicans are satisfied because they get
all the little private berths, such as mes
seDgerships, etc that he is able to give
away.
All are therefore satisfied, aud this is the
comprehensive policy of all-round satisfac-
tiUn that the great Delaware IN is so success
fully pursuing. Let the grateful throats of
Delaware Democracy continue shouting in
glad thankfulness over such an exhibi.
tiou Of greatness as Mr.. Bayard discovers.

to the Chief Engineer to stop the pumps for
a few hours, until at least the great mass
of this poison has flowed passed.
Now the point right here is that pure
water can just as readily as not be obtained
all the year round for the service of the city
despite even the terrible storms we have
had this summer. Twelve hours is sufi-
cient to send all the muddy water past the
city or the entrance to the race. But dur
ing the freshets or otherwise the steam
pump works away pumping gallons of filth
into the reservoir, from whence as the sad
experience of every citizen teaches him he
finds it upon his dinner table, in his wash
room, kitchen, and bath tub, discoloring
every vessel OF utensil with which it comes
in contact.
This mismanagement has had its effect
too in causing great expense to the citizens
in necessitating many of them to purchase
tlltering apparatus, while others use distill-
ed water on all occasions and still more who
cannot afford those luxuries are put to tile
daily trouble Of boiling all waEer used for
table purposes.

A Stray Waif.

A nickle plated ''t owel' labeled lit was
| that laid the corner stone Of the new High
School" is now actively engaged looking up
its lost parent. The little waif has been re-
pudiated by every member of the Board
save DR.. Keables, and as lie is absent from
the city his views upon the expensive toy
are not known.
This much, however, is apparent that
this piece Of extravaganza was expected to
be fathered by the Board of Education and
no questions asked, but happily for the in
terests of the people the press has so ex-
posed the extravdgances of city and county
officials that better condition of public
morals may prevail in the future
Had the Trustees of the Poor bought
silver plated, or even a solid silver ''trowel'
to place side by side with its $40 water cool
er it would not have been surprising, but
that the conservative Board of Education
should indulge in such extravaganza is in

The Telephone Service.

When the complexity of the telephone
system is considered, the promptness and
efficiency of the service is simply mar
yelous. The manipulation of the keys on
the switch board seems like an insurnount-
able task, to the casual Observer but the
alert and attentive ladies in charge of this
department, transfer the keys with almost
lightning rapidity.
Yougiye one short and two long rings
and by the time you can place the ''phone"
to the ear, you have ''Well2' You call No.
So, give ling of fifteen seconds time and
you are in connection with Stanton. This
on an average of one minute from the
time you touch the ''phone" you are in con
munication with the party called. Thus is
simply astonishing, and when it is remem-
bered that there are about six thousand
telephone calls made per day through the
Exchange, the task of those at the switch
board can be appreciated.
The Telephone Company made most
happy selection in naming Mr., II. g. Ma
haify its manager. Ifthere is anything ir-
regular in the service, Mr.. Mahaffy, at once,
remedies the difficulty aud his native ap-
proachableness makes it pleasure to cor
fer with him.
Mr.. Mahaf,y has been very fortunate in
the selection Of his lady aides-de-camp, their
adaptability and increasing vigilance have
materially enhanced the efficiency of the
telephone service. The telephone stands at
the very head of the list of marvels of the
nineteenth century, and its possibilities are
yet unconceived, suffice it, however, to be
said that the business world is very grateful
for the present stage Of development

The Coburgers.

Social circles in Washington are in dis
may over the iecent edct Of the Secretary
of War. The military carpet knights, so
long the delight and admiration of the fair
sex, are ordered to return to duty at their
various posts and stations throughout the
country, Many of these officers have for
years enjoyed the advantages of social life
at the capital, have been favored while
their brother officers are attending routine
duty on the frontiers and in the Indian
country. 1t is asserted that some of these
social favortes have never even seen their
commands, while others have had ten years
of consecutive service in Washington, A
new order of things is now to be introduced
by Mr.. Endcott and the different military
officers are to take turns in enjoying the
privileges of civilized life The "Coburgers"
as they are called will be sent to the out
posts to get an experience of life on the
plains.
The term "Ccburger" cane into use first
in England, at the time Of the marriage of
Queen Victoria with Prince Albert of Sake
Coburg Gotha. Subsequent to that time
numbers Of Germans followers and retainers
Of tue House Of Cuburg, came over into
England, and through the influence Of tile
Prince obtained some Of the most lucrative
appointments around the throne in the dip
omatic corps in the army and navy, indeed
to such an extent that great disaflection was
caused among the English These fayorites
were called ''Coburgers'' from their supposed
origin Prince Edward of SAKE. Weimar.
who holds high position in the English
army, and other Germans, though not
nee saIily of the House Of Coburg, are
'coburgers". Some of them can hardly
speak word of English AID tleir promi-
ngnce is due entirely to the German connec-
tUu. Count Gleicheu is another, the Priu-
cas of liesse aud Battenberg are others.
They are all looked on with the greatest je l.
ousy AMI dislike. -.
Discomfort in the United States army is
caused among the officers by III, favoritism
shown by the anthoritirs at Washington to
certain officers who get all the best appoint
meuts and lucrative positions, to the depri,
walton Of those who in the usual routine of
the service would be entitled to take their
turn at the good things to be given away,
