CLAYMoNT, Jan. 18.-The geniul sun
shine oil day Sunday was the source of
much enjoyment to all who embraced its
inviting charms. The congregation at
each of our churches was larger than
usual in mid-winter, and sleighs were
moving all day. The sleighing at this time
is excellent in some places, especially the
back roads, but there are many places in
the pike that are bare, and sleighs can
scarcely get along.
Miss Lizzie, living in the family of MIR.
f. o. G. barley, visited Wilmington this
afternoon, and in returning to the depot
to take the train buck she fell ON the
pavement, breaking her arm. Visiting,
with the assistance of help, physician,
she had the fracture reduced and came
back by the 7.40 train. She WAS very
faint and weak, and scarcely able to reach
Mr.. Darley's.

in the machine, and in giving it n quick
jerk his two fore6ngers were caught IL

special Correspondenceo of Gazette and journal
MIDpnETowN, Jan. 16.-On going to the
barn to feed his stock this morning John
w. Dickinson, on the Brady farm, found
a half frozen man lying beside the bull.
The man was unconscious for some time,
but after awhile he said that he had been
employed ON an oyster boat, and, being
discharged on account of the freeze, he
attempted to walk from point down the
Peninsula to his home, in Philadelphia.
He had been on the road for several days
and had determined to walk all last night
but when he reached Mr.. Dickinson's
gate, OF o'clock this morning, he found
himself nearly exhausted and concluded
to.seek shelter, which he found in the
cow-shed and friendly bull willingly
shared his bed with him, even allowed
the poor men to thrust his feet and handf
beneath him and thus keep warm, which
no doubt saved the mans life. It is
believed that had the unfortunate stayed
there an hour longer he would have
frozen to death.
Mr.. Dickinson helped the young mar
to his house where Mrs. ID. gave hin
warm drink. The young man had buf
little money on his person, but was will
ing to share that with his benefactors
which however was refused and every
thing possible was done TO make hin
comfortable. His story of the dredgers
suffesings is pitiable one.

a GREAT SUCCESS.

Trading through the mails with out

experiment in business. 1t has been
successfully carried gu for years by
many houses In the dry goods busi

There is probably more disappoint-
ment and vexation of spirit among
members of Congress than among
any other equal number of citizens.
Mr.. Howard of Indiana explains it..
He has charge of the Mexican treaty
and cannot get it acted upon because,
under the rules, it is within the pow
er of a few men who really do not APP
preciate its Importance to definitely
delay it. Mr.. Howard then sagely
remarks: "People talk about the
decadence of Congress, and that the
best men do not care to come here.
The reason is simply because it is of
no use to go into the House. You
can do nothing. We work outside
preparing legislation and studying
up questions, but it comes to moth
ing, for the House will not act, and
the majority will not rule. 1t is not
the hard work that keeps men away ;
it Is the worry and aggravation.
will never come back myself. Moth
ing would induce me to, as public
business is done nowadays. 1t is not
worth the while to take time working
up public business and then have it
frustrated continually by few men. y

THE BUREAU OF LABOR
REPORT.

Commissioner Wright's first annu-
al report of the national bureau of
labor shows an average Of nearly l.
100000 persons unemployed dur
inc 1885, or seven and one-half per
cent of the producing power of the
country. This situation was nsainly
induced by voluntary action on the
part of those most directly affected.
Wages to the amount of $500, 100000
were sacrificed, and business opera
tons of all kinds suffered more or
less in consequence. The idlers,
however, were the chief victims. In
teresting statistics are also submitted
in regard to mechanical appliances
supplementing human effort. He
thinks halt should be made in free
ly granting lands to corporations !;
that immigration which is induced or
contracted for the purpose of dis
placing a higher grade of labor should
be prevented by law; that it might
be we'll to prevent by legislative
enactment the stock of corporations
on the market, until the full value of
the capital stock of such corporations
is paid in, and also to prevent the
creation of corners and trading in flu
lures. Industrial copartnership is
strongly recommended, and the fact
that wherever it has been tried good
results have followed the experiment
is noted. In summarizing this part
of his report the commissioner ex'
presses the belief that the effects Of
depression are wearing away, ant
that "posterity is slowly, gradually
but safely returning"

not hitherto achieved in this most
important department of human en-
terprise and activity.
The attention of the American ma
tion is being turned, as never before,
to the question of education the
wealth OF the nation is being literally
poured forth upon a scale and with
a munificence unprecedented perhaps
in the history of the world. sin the
single decade, from 1870 to $780,
says DR.. Warren, president of the
Boston University, in his report for
the year 18S4-S5, "private 1ndividu-
ais in the United States consecrated
to educational purposes, by free gift
and devise, more than thirty millions
of dollars This fact taken in con-
junction with the truly noble deed
of ''the Hon. Leland Stanford, who
by one act set apart for the founding
and equipping of new University
in California the magnificent endow-
ment of twenty millions of dollars, %
speaks volumes. The educational
future of America was never so full
of promise as to-day.-Neao England

vigor combined with accuracy rarely
equalled even by writer's who still re-
tain their sight.
His first invocation in the house
that attracted notice was vigorous
denunciation of stock gambling.
Next morning he denounced blood
and pomp in striking way speaking
of the fable of blood-Norman.
Guelph and Gibelline. Then he
cast his previous utterances into the
shade by referring to the present la
Dor troubles in such manner as to
call forth from representative the
remark that it was an s.incendiary
speech.
DR.. Milburn, on hearing this, said
he had no desire to make speeches
before congress, that he was more
conservative than incendiary. He
believed. however, that prayer was
statement of our needs to God. 81

ing in our time" said be 'sand ]
think am justified in petitiouing the
Almighty for their correction
The blind man gave me a little
autobiography. He related how,
when he was five years old, play
mate preparing to cast away piece
of glass, threw back his hand and
accidentally struck him in the left
eye and cut the ball. A scar ap-
peared and the doctor in charge at
| tempted to remove it with nitric acid
which burnt terribly, but which re
moved the scar. 1t appeared again,
however, couple of weeks later,
and the doctor wishing to make a
neat job of it, regardless of the boys
protestations, again washed the
whole eyeball with nitric acid and
effectually destroyed all its sight.
The other through bad treatment
also became almost useless, and DR..
Milburn passed through his school
days and college life with a shade
over his right eye and his book close
up to his face. Later he lost his
sight entirely.
