The National Editorial Associate

The National Editorial Association
in session at Cincinnati, adjourned on
last Thursday night with a banquet
w. Scott Roberts of Centreville, re-
sponded for Delaware and Maryland
the association will meet in Dover in
June, 1887. On Monday afternoon
Brother Roberts entertained us with
glowing accounts of the reception ac-
corded the Association at Cincinnati,
and of the hospitality Of the people
which he said could be exceeded by that
of the people of old Maryland. He had
a number Of good stories to tell Of the
doings and sayings of the Association,
and seemed thoroughly convinced that
it was grand institution.
We clip the following from this
weeks Centreville Record:
"The International Association was
organized at New Orleans, in Febru-
airy of last year, one of the objects be-
ing to bring together, for the discus
sion of subjects pertaining to the pro-
fession, editors from all sections of this
Republic. This end was accomplished
at Cincinnati at the meeting last
month. nearly every State in the Un-
ion, and some of the Territories, being
represented. 1t was an able body of
representative men, assembled for the
purpose OF advancing the interests of
the whole people. Partisan, sectional
or selfish ends were one of the absent
features of the convention. The old
Bay State-Massachusetts-and Texas.
and Louisiana, and Rhode Island, and
Florida, and Alabama, and Pennsyl-
vania, and the Great West and North
west had but one comon interest, and
that was to advance and harmonic the
interests of the entire country. The
closing lines of poem read by w. E.
Paber, of Denver, Colorado, entitled
coral Workers." expresses the uni
versal sentiment
Oh my brothers in our field,
Pen and pencil wisely yield,
Write, but in defense of laws;
Write, but in some holy cause:
Trace no words you do not mean,
To the side OF mercy lean;
Give such comfort as you can
In the race of man with man,
Save the roses spoil the weeds,
Scatter only fruitful seeds,
And our works, like Pharo's lights,
Will illume the darkest nights"

DIARY or A MURDERED BISHOP.
The Last Days of Bishop Huntington. who
 Was Killed In Central Africa.

The diary of Bishop Huntington, who was put to death by order of King Mwanga of Uganda, Africa, has been published. Giving the details of the last week of his life, he describes the arrival of his party at Lubwas, where the chief, at the head of thou. sard troops, demanded ten guns and three barrels of powder, The chief asked Bishop Huntington to remain with him for day, and the latter complied. While taking walk the Bishop was attacked by twenty natives. He struggled with his assail- ants, but became weak and faint, and was drag ged violently long distance by the legs. When his prosecutors halted they stripped and robbed him. and imprisoned him in noisome hut full of yermin and decaying bananas. While he was lying there ill and help less, the chief and his hundred wives came out of curiosity 10 feast their eyes on him.
 On the next day he was allowed to return to hls own tent, where, though still ill, he felt more comfortable. He was stlll guarded, however, by natives. He remained in bed during the fol lowing days, parties of the chie's wives, out of cursoslty, coming daily to sec him. He was allowed 10 send messages to his friend,. but he be- ieved they were intercepted. OA the seventh day he writes that at night the place swsrmed with verlnin; that the guards were drunk and noisy, and tha, he was unable to sleep. At last he became delriouS. On the eighth day, Oct. go, he was conscious. Hi entries on this day are brief. IN, news. A hycna howled all night Hope he will not have me yet" l Is believed that shortly after writing this he was taken out and put t( death. Throughout the week there are frequent entries referring to th; comfJrt he derived from reading tn Psalms.

SEVER bullion has advanced in the London market from 41 pence an ounce in July 10 A s-S in October. The best opinion of financial writers Is that silver has reached its lowes, point. In 1872 silver was worth Go IS pence in London and at 43 in July, nearly one.third of its value has disappeared. It has recovered one fourth of ihe loss, but is about one fifth below the standard of equality with gold on the basis of I5.SS to I, Thsrs is a general disposition now in gold circles to compromise with silver on a basis that will leave the latter the status of money within a certain limit. It is proposed, for example, to coin no gold in England below the sovereign, none in the Latin Union below the 25 franc piece, none In Ger many below 10 marks, and none 1T the United States below five dollars This would employ ab put SI ).ooo, ooo of subsidiary coins, and the in creased vulu;n. in circulation woull naturally tend to an advance on prices -Ex.

LlBEl,TY'S TORCH.


 THE torch that Liberty holds high above the bay blazed out last night and flood of white light was thrown around the statue thousands of yards from Bellows Islind. The goddess revealed her perfect outline, but was not sharply defined. Even at this distance the arm that holds the torch was in a shadow. H alf mile the pedestal loomed up bright as it is at stones throw, but the head and arm had disappeared, and there was a shadow oyer the statue one mile dis tant. The glory of the pedestal eclipsed that of the figure. Al the Battery, which is two and a quarter miles from Bcdlow's Island, tl.e spectator who had not s.eo the god dess by day was not able to make out her outlines. Lieutenant Willis, who invented the system of lighting, said last evening that the lighting of the outside of the statue Is in an expert. mental state and he expects to improve it until it will reveal the figure perfect ly. Whether il will be possible to ilumna,e so urge surface of bronze and produce a sharp effect wltho ut painting the bronze to light color IS question to be solved. As early as SIX o'clock last night there was a steady stream of people going Bat teryward. l. met and bumped into and jos,led the crowd that was nov ing homeward from work, until the sidewalk, in BroilwIy We're jimmed full and overfowed into the gutters. There was an open place kept cleared in the rear of the BIttery wall where the Fireworks were tc b. let off. The crowd as 1t arrived dIshed vainly against strong cordon of policemen, which had beel drawn around thu, reserved space and was jammed in close against the line and quickly spread b,ck in compact mss. Just before the hour to light up the statue, steamers silently arrived in the dark Gess and took up positions in great semi-cirtle around the island from the southwest to the northeast. First one steamer set up screeching, then another, until there was an uncarthly rumpus, so deafening that people or the island had to yell to make each other understand what they were say ing. AS the tiny spark in the torch grew and grew until 1t h,shed acros- the bay, shower of rockets, bombs fiery fountains of green, yellow, blu, and white, with shipping fiery ser pents, sputtered abolt at intervals in the air. The display on the Bittery did not begin until the two otheI spcctacles had closed. It openel with a magnificent flight of I,o,c rockets, all let of in a bunch. Tni, was followed by flight of fireworks similar to those on Governors anc Bedlow's Islands, with the exception that a long starry procession of bal looms ma le to represent the stars and stripes and the tricolor. was sen trailing high in the air over Long Is land way, dropping red and gree! tirc-balls as they went. The torcl was kept alive all night. It will b lighted every night for week. The , present system is only on trlal fo that time.

Table Hints.

Reo5;'crity.-if there is one table
lsw about which ail persons are
agreed it is that our meals should
be taken at stated and regular per-
iods. People may differ about veget-
arianism, about sweets, about pies
and cakes, about tea and coffee, but l
have never met Il person who would in-
sist thai regularity Was OF no conse-
quence-that it was Just Is weil to take
two meals to-day and FIVE tomorrow, TO
take dinner ct l o'clock to-day, to-
morrow and 5 next day. Without under
standing the physiological Law, all are
agreed that regularity is important.
A long Journey by rail does not de-
range the stomach because of the sitting
in an unventilated car. for traveller
may occupy still worse place in the
pursuit of his business ct home; neither
is it because of the character CT the food

Regularity in the times Of eating.
