JOURNALISTIC WOE.

A good friend from the bad city of
Chicago writes THE GAZETTE concerning
paragraph which one Chicago paper
seems to have written and another Chi
cago paper to have stolen. According to
THE GAzETTEs good friend, the News
was the purloiner and the Tribune the
author THE GAzHTTE's excuse for the
theft is, that the News is edited by Eu-
gene Field, who has known a good thing
when he saw 1t ever since ne became
writer Eugene is one Of the brightest
and most irreverent men on the American
press, and he has written too many good
things himself, and has too little rever-
ence for anything on the earth or 10 the
heavens above the earth, to be above
stealing irst-class paragraph. But here
is the stolen goods, and the letter of the
good friend in the bad city:
Col Belo goes back to his Galveston news
paper office sadly disappointed man. He
tagged the president all around last summer
and put In about six weeks of his valuable time
trying to teach the executive how to shoot and
fish, Once he saw Mr.. Cleveland splashing
around In a sylvan lake among the Adiron-
dacks, and shedding his coat and boots, he
cried: "IIave no fear, Mr.. President 1 will
save youW To this hei ole offer Mr.. Cleveland
replied; "Iou needn't worry about me; Pm
just wading around In here to get my hook out
OF a stump"
Although the Texas editor made failure of
this valorous attempt to save the president from
drowning, he really was OF much assistance to
the presidential party In the mountains. lie
dug all the bait, carried the fish, whistled
up the dogs, loaded the guns. prepared
the lunches, and did all the chores
generally. He had reason, we think to
expect some handsome recognition OF his serv
legs, and we can imagine that his heart beat
high and his face Observation-Disclosures when he
called at the white house on his way back to
Galveston. He had heard the rumor linking
his distinguished name with the Austrian mis-.
sion, and he was pleased to see in the presi.
dents hand small roll that looked like a com
mission.
Z" My dear Belo," said President Cleveland,
=" never shall II be said Of my administration
that 1t was blind TO the services OF its friends.
Your fidelity to me this summer has touched |
me to the quick and has awakened In my bosom |
the volcanic fires Of enthusiastic appreciation, |
desire, therefore, in appreciation of your serv-
ices, to present you with this unmounted cabi. |
net photograph Of my new country house, with
my wife and me sitting on the front stoop."

clipping from the Chicago Morning News Of
this date, that you may be afforded an oppor.

Journalist, but as newspaper man he is en-.
titled to your fullest consideration and sympa-

are always so willing to allow to originality as
a mitigating circumstance In the state of the
unfortunate, for, alas, he has none. He is but
an unreliable, and may even add, ungrateful
phonograph of his more spiteful and venomous
neghbOr, the Tribune, for in his reflex of the
matter of that'great sore he never names its
patent, and thus In deep disgust the chestnut
bell for him has long since ceased to ring. But
such as he Is an editor of a Republican Chi

court that they be spared the affliction
of a grOg shop with all its kindred
evils. Where shall we place the re-
spOnsibilty? On the persons who
asked for the license or on the court
who gave it? The people who ask
that the license be given them, asked
for " that which is not bread but
death. In their ignorance or avarice
they asked the court to curse them, to
curse their wives and children, to
curse the little village of Hartley, to
curse Kent county and to curse parts
of Queen Anne's and Caroline counties.
The people who prayed the court to
withhold the license, were guided by
their love of God and man, and actua-
ted by the highest and holiest princi-
pies. They saw the village rising into
a commercial centre. They saw their
new church dedicated to the worship
Of Almighty God. They saw the need
for new schoolhouse. They saw the
growth of the farming interest. They
saw the people moving to and fro,
busy in the work of building up the
material, educational, social and re-
ligiOus interest of TIE community and
they saw the black form of the dragon
of rum lowering over them and par
TALLY shutting out the sunshine of
prosperity. They saw his sharp claws,
his fiery eye and smelt the sulpher i'm
pregnated air. They heard his hell
born cry for the overthrow of all which
they held dear. They took alarm and
flew to the court crying for help. The
court had the two petitions before it
and were called upon to Judge between
the petitioners and to grant the one
and deny the other. The law left
them free to do either. Both they
could not do; one they must do. The
law made them the judges in the
matter Then the case was one that
called for the presence and exercise of
the qualification for a judge-namely,
judgment.
Now we take the responsibility and
say that the action of the court showed
the utter lack of Judgment. 1t is we'll
established among mankind that it is
wrong to do that which directly or in
| directly places the happiness of man in
jeopardy or iniiicts evil upon him. We
hold that it is impossible for the Court
of Delaware to be ignorant Of the sure
and certain workings and results Of
the use as a beverage of intoxicating
liquors. The court knew that the OK
would push, and turned him out with
the fact before its eyes. We come to
the conclusion that the court either
lacks in judgment or is under the do
miniOn and power Of passion.

The Tribune Almanac for 1886 is a
valuable work preference. This work
has long had the reputation of stand
ard book of reference for political and
statistical information. The Almanacs
for 1884 and 1885 had an unusual sale;
and as it is stated that considerable
pains have been taken to present the
Almanac for 1886 a complete and ac-
curate statement of the gold and silver
coinage from the beginning of the Gov
ernment, and the production of those
metals, as also President Cleveland's
Inaugural Address, the new issue will
be in demand also. In addition to
elaborate election tables, The Almanac
gives summaries of all the important
laws passed at the last session Of Con-
gress, statistics of all the operations of
the Government, and lists of all the
chief officials at Washington, and Of
the new Congress, together with large
variety of other general information.

The Sleighing Contest Between
Dover and Camden.

When that eighteen en-hOrse-and-mule
power snow plOw from Persons Cor
ner came into Dover Monday afternoon
it must have recalled to old residents
of the State capital the famous sleigh
ing tournament between Camden and
Dover thirty years ago. Quite prob
ably this was the biggest thing of the
kind ever witnessed in Delaware his
tory. 1t was inaugurated by IA Cam
den party who thought it fit to cele-
brate the great snowfall of that year
1856 by driving into Dover with a
six-horse sleigh. The novertes ac-
cepted the implied challenge on sight
and returned the visit next day with
ten-horse team followed by a big steed
drawing a rocking chair with its Occu-
pant and several other novel turnouts.
Camden responded on the third day
with large procession, headed by 81
horses leach decorated with a flag
bearing the name Of a State) drawing
a large sled, a single horse attached to
some nOndescript vehicle representing
the District of Columbia and a sled
load of girls drawn by seven mules,
named for the territories. A dozen or
more odd vehicles brought up the
rear, and there was good sprinkling
of revolutionary heroes, British red
coats, musicians and others. Dover
required a days grace to do justice to
this irruptiOn, which was used in getting
a schooner out of the creek, at what
was then called Forest Landing,
mounting the same on runners and
hauling it up to town, and in making
other elaborate preparations. On the
following day this sled-schooner, with
its rigging and deck thronged with
amateur sailors and drawn by 46
horses headed the closing procession of
the tournament back to Camden,
Strung out for a quarter of mile or so
behind this strange craft were sleds of
various designs occupied by trades
men at work, among whom a butcher
skinning and cutting up a sheep is
best remembered -EUery EUeniag.

If the United States should ever
again be engaged in a great war we
should have to develop our military
commanders by the same process Of Sc
lection that we went through between
1861 and 1865. Even now very few of
the men who held conspicuous rank
during the civil war remain in the SER
vice and General Hancock's death re-
moves the last of the great soldiers
who were identified with the Army of
the Potomac. All of the commanders
of that most splendid army in modern
histOry-McClellan, Burnside, Hooker
Meade and Grant--aTe gone. So are
most of the great corps commanders
Reynolds, Sedgwick, Warren and the
rest. General Howard is about the
only corps commander remaining in
the service and he has no such identifi-
cation with the Army of the Potomac
as many division commanders had, like
Newton, Ayres and others, wo still re-
main. Franklin, Porter, SlOcum and
one or two others of prominence are
still alive, though not in the service.
There are also some of the staff officers
like General Eunt, who are not to be
forgotten, but of the men who were
really conspicuous before the public in
the long years when the eyes of the
country were all turned upon the
Army of the Potomac there is scarcely
one remaining.

A Frozen Baby Receivers.

A remarkable illustration of what a
newly born baby that was frozen stiff
can stand without killing it is reported
from Boston. The report is that on
Sunday night, January 31st, a police
man found wrapped in a sheet and w.
ing on the ground in a court off High
street, the body of a female child,
about two weeks old. The tempera-
ture was at zero, and, as it afterward
proved, the body had been lying where
found for eighteen hours, 1t was, of
course, frozen stiff, The policeman
carried it to the first station house,
and thence it was taken to the under
takers on Howard street. The only
convenient spot for placing it was upon
board a few feet from a stove in
which hot fire was burning.
The medical examiner was sent for.
but he did not arrive until three hours
later. When he reached the shop he
took off the sheet from the little corpse
to look for some mark that might lead
to the discovery of the mother. To
his utter astOnishment the baby quiet
ly opened its eyes, as though Just
awakening from a nap. Proper treat
ment was at once applied and the little
one was soon restored to life and ap-
parent vigOr. DR.. Harris, the medical
examiner, declared it a most remarka-
BILE case.
1t was fortunate, he said, that the
police did not suspect that the child
might be alive. Had they done so
they would doubtless have resorted to
hot applicants and similar methods to
restore warmth and vitality, The re-
suit would have been sure death. The
gradual thawing in the moderate tenn
perature of the undertaker's shop had
been enough to rekindle the almost
extinguished spark of life. The child
was finally taken to the Chardon
Street Home.

The great chess player Steinitz has
retrieved his reputation at st. Louis
and he and ZukertOrt now stand even
in the chess match, each with four
games to his credit. 1t seems little
singular between two players so nearly
matched that only one game has thus
far been drawn. They go now to New
Orleans to play the concluding games
There, according to the conditions of
the match, play will go on until one of
the contestants has won ten games.
As each has four games to his score it
will be seen that at least six games,
and, very likely twice that number,
are to be played in the Crescent City
before the championship question is
settled.
