Achill pronounced ak.il) Island, on
the west coast of Ireland, where the peo-

walton, is poor place in every sense of
the word. The island is about 30 miles
in circumference and contains some 6, OOO
inhabitants. The soil never was of much
account and the tenants are and have al-
ways been too poor themselves to ATTEMPT
to bring it up by the use of fertilizers.
On the contrary, they have gone on year
after year gathering such poor and miser.

wretched land, whose Impeachment has
kept pace with their own. Bound to
such soil and ground down by rents and
taxes, their lives have seldom been much
more than struggle for subsistence, aud
there have been seasons when their scanty
crops utterly failed and they would have
starved had it not been for outside help
largely from this country. Such was the

Florida is in the same state of anxiety
regarding her orange orchards that Della
ware exhibited regarding her peach or
chards during the bitter and prolonged
cold snap of 1881, with the difference
that Florida has much greater reason fol
such anxiety than Delaware had. The
result here was that few if any of the
trees were actually killed, but their fruit
producing power was seriously impaired
for the following summer. It is to be
hoped that the damage to the orange
groves may turn out to be at least nc
worse. kilograms say that, while the
entire orange crop remaining on the trees
is undoubtedly frozen and ruined, the
precise effect of the freeze upon the trees
themselves cannot be determined until
warm weather sets in. Probably every
tree in the State will lose its leaves and
there is reason to believe that most of the
young trees have been killed. The gradual
thaw under cloudy skies reported from
Florida is, however, a favorable condition,
and the opinion prevails that the old and
mature trees, which have been relied on
for producing the marketable crop of
oranges, are not seriously hurt and will
not be unless exposed to warm sunshine
within the next few days. 1t is estimated
that Sl,o0O,OOO worth of ungathered
fruit has been frozen.

The New York Tribune has made its
readers victims of another southern out

serial about a boy somewhere in North
Carolina who had received divine call

their sins. We were told by the Tribune,
In successive daily instalments, how the
inspired boy was stricken blind for a
short season as token of the genuine
ness of his mission, how he delivered
phenomenal exhortations to large coz
gregations, how he prophesied that
his sight would be restored
on Saturday afternoon and how credulous
ruralists from far and near were gather
ing and awaiting, in breathless interest,
the hour for the fulhlment of this
prophecy. Just at this intensely inter

the matter, and now the world cannot
hope toslearn the denouement. We sub

Tho crushing blow which has fallen
upon Secretary Bayard has evoked from
the country generally nm expression of
sympathy which is the only silver lining
possible in such cloud Here in Della
ware the compactness of our territory and
the relative smallness Of our population
contribute enough TO the sense of
neighborhood aud friendliness to make
private grief common sorrow. The uni
versai expression of sympathy which has
gone up from Mr.. Bayara's friends and
neighbors is no more than is to be ex-
pected from the people who have known

grow up around his hearth-stone, have

But in this feeling the nation at large
claims part as one larger family. In the
hottest fray of party warfare not one
word has ever been uttered against the
majestic spotlessness of Mr.. Bayard'i
private life, the pure tenderness of his
domestic relations. Nothing then de
tracts from that pure and universal
aympathy, of which the closing
of the Executive Mansion was
most graceful and fitting symbol. The
whole nation, it was said, watched beside
the dying bed of President Garfield, and
likewise the whole nation would now as

A communication on our first page
to-day upon the alleged infamous assess.
ment laws of Delaware will be read with
interest by Democrats and Republicans OF
all factions, though the precise nature Of
the interest will largely depend upon how
the reader is pigeon-holed politically.
As has been often stated in these
columns, communications whose authors
are not known to us find only the pub
hcity of the waste basket; consequently
we can vouch for the statement of
"Another Richmond" that he is pre-
cisely what he represents himself-a stall
wart of the stalwarts and not masouerad.
ing Democrat. The writer is not man who
has received his knowledge of the work
ing of the assessment laws from hearsay.
He knows them with the same thorough
ness that most of the twenty-four signers
OF the communication in the North
american HeUieao know their own bust
ness, in the legitimate sense of the
word. And had they had fair
fraction of his direct knowledge
or had they given little of the earnest
ness to the study of Delaware's assess
ment laws that they daily give to their
respective avocations, they could never
have conscientiously signed document
which childishly puts most of the blame
of their political defeat upon Secretary
Bayard instead of where this writer firmly
and truly puts it-upon their own inert
ness. The statements in regard to Republi-
can victories under these same infamous
assessment laws" will be interesting read
ing to the bamboozled editor of the once
unsuspected and reliable North american
ReuieD, and it may be within
the realms of possibility that that gentle
mans sense of fair play will cause him to
acknowledge The injustice to the little
Diamond State which does Lot seem to
have profted by the insultingly- directed
efforts of would-be reformers, who
come here from other states and at least
succeed in demonstrating the folly of
giving up their giganticintellects to fight
ing Delaware's political wind-mills.

CLAIMING TO BE INNOCENT.
A MAN Hanged Who Had Much
PrOvOcatIOn.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 15.-Charles Wilson
was hanged this morning at 7.45 O'Clock
for the murder of q river steamer nIatf
some time ago. He retired last night at \
very late hour, and slept quietly and
soundly until 4.4O o'clock, when he was
awakened at his own request. He awoke
cool and calm, still protesting that he
was innocent of murder, and stating that
he committed the deed in self-defence.
shortly before 6 O'Clock his spiritual
adviser, the Rev. Father Rankin, arrived
and engaged him in religious conyersa.
ton. After having breakfast, the death
warrant was read to him. He then said
farewell to the attaches of the iail and
was led forth to the scaffold from which
he addressed few words to those present
to witness his death. He remained calm
to the last still protesting his innocence.
The crime for which Wilson was
hanged was the murder on July 31st
1853, OF William A. David, second mate
OF the steamer Fannie Tatum, on which
Wilson was q deck hand. On a trim mn
the river, when near Chester, ILL.,, Wilson
mad dispute with David, the latter ac-
e,u!sing him of Sinking his work. The
dispute was terminated by the mate, who
knocked Wilson down with heavy stick
OF wood, the blow leaving a scar upon
MS forehead which still remains. The
negro then demanded his pay for
Two days work, which the mate
refused to give him. Whe the Tatum
arrived at this city, Wilson again de.
manded his pay and the mate refused il
and drove him from the bout. Shortly
afterwards, while Wilson was talking 70
some of the boats crew on the leyee
David approached and ordered him to
Leave and is said to have made move as

If what was felt at Delaware City on
Friday afternoon and at Nyack, N. Y, on
Friday night was really an earthquake
shock, there was something in it of pecu-
liar interest to seismologists. The shock
was felt at Delaware City at 10 p. IN,
and at Nyack, only 40 miles above
New York city, at 11.3O p. m,
more than six hours later. Can it be that
the seismic wave occupied this length OF
time in travelling less than 200 miles, or
were separate disturbances noted at the
two places?
