A Folk Lore Story.

Signor De Nino has made another collec-
ton Of the folk lore stories current in the
province of Abruzzi. Among the fables are
quaint versions of some of the legends that
are the common property of the whole world
The one about the creation of animals in the
Garden of Eden and the age of man bears re-
peating. After the animals were created, so
the story runs, they thanked God, and asked
him what their fate was to be- When they
learned that they were to labor and suffer for
twenty years they each prayed to live a
shorter time, and ten years were deducted in
the case of the ass, the dog and the ape.
When man was created and learned that he
was to live but twenty years, he begged hard
for hundred years, and finally the Creator
gave him the thirty years that the animals
just named had refused So it comes about
that mans first twenty years are his happy
ones; then comes the ass ten years of labor;
domestic cares and children fill the next
period, the dogs ten years; during the di-
vision that follows the children marry and
abandon their father, and in this way the
apes ten years elapSe. ''After fifty" solilo-
quizes the story teller, ''what more is life to
thee! He who has had, has had. Home

How Governor " Bob" Stewart Got Even.
An old citizen, gentleman of high social
and official standing in ST. Joseph, tells a
story of the famous Missouri governor, Bob
Stewart, which, true to the letter, proves
that fact is stranger than fiction:

CORttRue0 Prom tdSt UceG.
The same conclusion is reached in
Pennsylvania, upon II similar statute
llsrker vs.. Com. C. Penn. St.. 507)
Rice vs.. Foster supra, being cited with
approval. The claim is made that the
case just cited has been overruled by
the more recent one OF Locke's Appeal
az Penn. ST., 49D. But it will be
found on examination that the latter
case does not DO this. Agnew, j. ,
said :-"When the law came from the
halls of legislation IL came n perfect
law-mandatOry in all its parts, pro-
bibiting in this ward the sale of int"x-
icating liquors without license; COM
manding all election to be held every
third year to ascertain the eKpediency OF
Issuing licenses. and, when the fact OF
eXpediency or ineXpedieucy shall have
been returned, commanding that
licenses shall issue or shall not issue.
Then, what did the vote decide2 Clear
ly, not that the act should be a law or
not be, for the law already existed.
Indeed, it was not delegated TO the
people to decide anything. They sim
ply declared their views or wishes !;

of the law-nOt their Votr-whicl

FRAUDULENT REGISTRATION

1t is now almost two weeks since
the city registration lists have been
hung up and agents employed both by
the Department of Elections and the
Citizens Committee have been scan
ming them for the purpose Of finding
Illegally and irreguiarly registered
names. A great deal OF testimony
concerning a great many names was
co olected together by these agents and
yesterday il was all turned over to the
counsel for the Citizens Committee,
Messrs. G. II. Curtis and George 4.
Brown. These gentlemen, we lrarn,
after sitting the mass VI matter most
carefully, havs recommended that
suits . brought against four men for
illegal or fraudulent repatriation.
There are undoubtedly mora than
four illegal registrations in the total
register ct 1000 names, hut only four
have been discovered by most care
full examination. This is shout what
we had anticipated, We did rot be-
lieve from the FIRST that the apprehep-
sions Of fraud by tine Citi2 sns' Com
mittee and other friends OF honest
elections were well grounded. The
provisions ot the new law
are SO stringent that it would
have been exceeding y difficult as
well as dang rou5 20 have violated
sdem. There provisions ara so exact
ing and difficult Of execution that
great many mistakes were made by
the rcgislpation officers. This was
both natural ard excusable, since it
wac the iifs. applicaion OF the law.
But Of premedaated fraud there was
very Little, the least possible.
The new law is good and wise
measure. 1t has been administered
well and wisely by the Department Of
Elections; and the registers have done
their work better and far more care
fully than the community, in the cir
cumstances, had any right to expect.
Bat the law, the department and the
registers have been supported by |
a wholesome and aggressive public |
opinion, aud altogether the outcome
of the new reform is great deal Of |
good to Wilmington. The new appro-
priation schedule, offered in Council
last evening, contains an item OF
5000 for the expense Of the munich
pal election this year. If that item
were for five times 5000, in view Of
the excellent results, il would bs a
small price for the work accomplished.
