NOTE BY THE EDITOR.--It ought to
be well understood that editors do not
hold themselves responsible for opin-
ions expressed by their contributors.
But we would suggest to " Plowman
that careful reading of the first five
lines of the first part of the article on
g Good and Evil a" would have rendered
his criticism unnecessary. The writer
of it believes exactly as "Plowman "
does, that GOD divides men, according
to their spiritual state, into good and
evil or, as the Scripture expresses it,
into "sheep and goats" What the
article criticised protests against is, in
the writer's own words" One of the
saddest mistakes mans religious cOnceit
ever makes ito assume Gods pre-
rogative in this matter But even God
himself does not pronounce us sheep"
or "goats until our lives are ended.
So long as we remain in this world his
Judgment is suspended; aud the writer
of "Good and Evil " seems to us to
suggest that none of us should forget
the force of the solemn inquiry" Shall
mortal man be more just than God?"
We do not know what is going on in
the human heart; and it may often be
that one whose life does not coincide
with our ideas may be nearer the king
dom of heaven than we think him.
The one important thing is to have
our own hearts right with God-each
for himself.

Texas ponies are not in high favor in Ellen

other refuses to be stabbed, and has caused a

entire lot is worth 500, the writer fails to
see it.

Wheat has yielded well in this vicinity
this year. While no exceptional crops have
been reported yet, the general average has
been exceeded. A peculiar thing is notice
able about the wheat yield-and in noting it
we desire to say it is no advertising puff
that the best yields were all from fields
where Draper & Davis Jumbo phosphate
was used.
Peach shipments have not been large;
neither have returns been encouraging.
Prices have not been over fAy cents, and the
average about thirty cents per basket. This
is discouraging, but we hope for better prices
when better varieties come in. PAUL PRY.

THE temperance party met in
Dover last Tuesday, and again en-
tered its protest against the manufac-
ture, sale or use Ofintoxicating liquors.
and in its records discOuntencss all
compromise on the question. The
public sentiment on this important
subject is for restrictive legislation
but not for prohibition, and it is safe
TO estimate that the candidates which
the temperance people have placed on
their ticket will not receive more
than few hundred votes. In New
Castle county the temperance vote
will be heaviest, as 1t is there the
most serious results Of liquor drink
lug are witnessed. In Kent county
there is practically no temperance
sentiment; while old Sussex has many
who have pronounced views on the
temperance question. FOr.all this it's
safe to place Delaware in the demo-
cratic column Of states.

The Dictionary in the sohoolroom.

Being interested in all that pertains to tn
success and usefulness of our public schools
we would call the attention of educators {
the value Of early training in the use oflau
guage and the need of more thorough in
struction in the knowledge Of s0ords. w,
mean the English language, and for the mos
part, good old Anglo Saxon uords.
We are constrained to believe that in fa
too many schools the ability to name word.
rapidly as they occur in the reading lesson
in the geography or the history is allowed
to suffice as the full measure of instruction
in the department oflanguage, and the pupils
thus pass to other fields without the ability
to either correctly spell or properly pronounce
the words they have used, and with no
knowledge at all of their true signifcation
or wealth Of meaning
The derivation or history ofa word as found
in the dictionary often opens up most de-
lightfHl field for study and investigation. and
through this the learners ambition to attain
greater power and fiueucy in the use of words
might be melted. We believe that the
learned man is most clearly distinguished
from the ignorant by his greater command of
language and wider knowledge of the power
of words. What better field can there be-
then, for the development Of a greater use
fulness on the part of our public schools
than through larger and more intelligent
study of our own vocabulary?
Fortunately we have a standard authority
for the meaning and use of English words,
recognized and universally conceded court
Of last resort, an open Webster, - where are
recorded for the use of all, the decisions Of
the best writer's and speakers upon the cor
rect usage of every item that goes to make
up the beautiful whole of our mother tongue.
We believe that our public schools will
attain greater usefulness, and be more sue
cessful in teaching language just in the ratio
that they send their pupils to the dictionary
with more frequency, teaching them to study
its record more intelligently and abide by
its decisions more steadfastly It needs no
argument to prove that every schoolroom
should be supplied with copy of webster's
Unabridged Dictionary, as the foundation for
improved language work. As a further
means to this desirable end, we can make no
better recommendation than that every pupil
should acquire the habit of constant refer
ence to authority by having at his desk
copy Of an abridged edition of Webster, and
that every teacher should be competent to
give instruction in its proper use.
Without disparaging the other abridg-
ments, we regard webster's Academic Die
tionary as the best of all for the hourly use
of pupils, and when it is remembered that
is usefulness will survive the pupils school
lays, and in the absence ofthe unabridged,
become the family dictionary, it is not too
much to say that it should be found on the
lesk Of every pupil in our schools above the
most primary grades. .

The Agonies of Lumbago.
EAST RIVER NATIONAL BANK,
New York, March, 10, 1886.


It gives me great pleasure to add my
testimony in favor, of ALLcocK's POROUS
PLAsTERs. Last October I had a very
severe attact Of lumbago and suffered untold
agony; could not turn in bed or get in any
position without assistance, and with pains
almost unbearable; the folks suggested ALL
COCKS Porous PLAsTERs. As soon as pos
sible had one applied to the small of my
back and to my great surprise I experienced
almost instant relief; 1 continued wearing it
until entirely cured, and am happy to say
that have not had the slightest symptoms of
Lumbago since. They are a wonderful and
valuable Plaster for Lumbago and take
much pleasure in recommending them.

when IL says;
Last year the production Of evaporated
peaches in Delaware and Maryland was very
light, and values for the same were pushed
to an extreme point at the beginning. For
a while they sold; but very soon California
evaporated peaches appeared, car load upon
car load ARRIVING at Eve to ten per cent below
the price of the Peninsula peaches, all packed
in neat twenty-five pound cases, both pared
and impaired. Ike effect was that the trade
nearly all over the country turned their at
tention to the California peaches, and as
they were made Of thick large fruit they
met with such great favor even in Philad'a
and other eastern markets that before winter
set in they had taken such firm hold that
even by reducing the peninsular Peaches be
low the price Of chlifornias.it proved a diff
cult matter to turn the trade back to the
peninsular Peaches.
With full Peach crop in view this year in
Del, and Nd, as well as California, the pro-
duction Of Evaporated Peaches promise 10
be liberal one, and It viii be very impOr-
tent, therefore, to regain a solid foothold for
the peninsular Peaches. To do this, it will
be advisable to place the fruit on the mar
ket early at as reasonable prices as practioa-
BILE, so as to get them well distributed before
the California Peaches arriYe and thus get
the start on California.
As the trade is now educated to asib. cases,
we would advise all evaporators on the pen
insula to pack both pared and impaired
Peaches in 25b. cases; the difference in
price obtained will more than cover the extra
cost OF packing and insure more ready sale.
It is Of course too early yet to set any
prices, but our opinion is that pared will
open at about 7I@ 23e. and impaired at

Good health, good morals, good sense and
good temper, are the four essentials FOR a
good wife. These are the indispensables.
After them come the minor advantages Of
good looks, accomplishments, family posi-

will be comfortable and happy. Lacking
either, it will be in more or less degree fail
ure. Upon good health depends largely
good temper and good looks, and to some
extent good sense also, as the best mind
