Smoking, as is well known, IL a habit which
is not confined to men in France and other
continental countries Many Parinennes now
indulge in cigarettes even in their boudoirs.
and IA recent writer, who is herself a smoker.
has drawn up a set Of rules for the benefit of
fashionable female votaries Of the Tweed y
Some OF these regulations arc rather pecu-
liar. Never, says the guide philosopher, and
friend Of fashionable fumeuses, never smoke
IN a restaurant or out OF doors, even when In
company with your husbands. Never light a
cigarette after a O'Clock tea, even il your
most intimate friends only are present
Smoke after your meals at home, either in a
room II hoe or in your boudoir Donot hold
the cigarette between your bseth or at the
sides OF your mouths. Such low tricks are
unworthy even Of well bred men, and YOU
must be mindful 70 carry the eigarstte grace
fully TO your lips, and TO blow gentle wreaths
OF etherealized essence around you from your
mouths, or il you like, down from your
hosea BE extremely careful not to allow any
ashes to fall on your dresses or your carpets
and be sure that your cigarette holders and
their cases, your match boxes, your ash trays.
and your general appliances for the enjoy
ment OF tobacco, be as delicate and artistic
as all objects used by ladies should be.
BY attention to these rules, concludes their
compiler. fumsuse may frequently make

Democracy or for principle, just so they
carried out their damnable schemes. The
timely exposure of their schemes to sell
out the national. state and Levy Court
ticket is proof positive TO every reason
able person that we have not misrepre-
sented them in the least. They, we now
say, are not only dastards, but are scoun-

politics. This and nothing more.

HARRISON ON DUDLEY.
He Wanted Him to Keep Hands Off from
the First of the Campaign.

ehe Hlrst OF the Campaign.
The Philadelphia North American this
morning published the following special
dispatch dated last evening in New York
city: I'm regard to the Dudley FORCED
circular, General Harrison saws he
thought the letter was forgerv-6rst
because he did not believe Colonel bud,
ley would write such letter, and second
because he had personally requested Col
onel Dudley not to interfere in any way
with the conduct of the campaign in In
diana. There is some feeling between
the State Committee people here and Col
onel Dudley. General Harrison recognized
the evil which might result from posi-
Bile contention between them. and on
that account, and at his request Colonel
Dudley has not even been inside the
state lines since the campaign opened. f"
just week ago tonight reporter Of
the EVENING JOURNAL was told by a gen
tlemRn Of this city that several Harrison
men had expressed the above wish at the
beginning of the campaign. Then the
alleged Dudley letter had not vet been
made public or thought of by any one
except the author This statement was
made in the course of a conversation in
which Indiana politicians were discussed
in a general way. The Wilmington gen
tleman had his information from outside
Of the Republican National Committee.

Origin of a Popular Air.

have received the following:
What is the origin Of the song johnny,
Get Your Gunrn
The song was written in the winter in a
city. The reason was that in the cold weather
there were always certain men who, in board
ing street car, wouldn't come inside, and
they wouldn't stand on the platform. But they
would shove back the door and stand in the
space, thus not only disseminating passen-
gers, but allowing the cold wind TO sweep
into the car, creating neuralgia, toothache,
pneumonia, and other diseases Of interest to
the undertaken. The company tried in vain
to persuade these gentlemen to quit this.
Finally the president said TO one OF his con
dnctors, whose name is Johnny:
Johnny, get your gun"
Tue order is going 10 be enforced this
winter, and the song Will be more popular
than ever. Chicago Mail

DELAWARE FOR CLEVELAND.
The Legislature Said to be in Doubt.
Speculation.


Speculation.
A special dispatch to the New York
Herald last evening from this city said
There is no doubt felt as to the results of
the election in Delaware as far as the
electoral and Congressional tickets are
concerned. Cleveland, it is conceded, will
carry the state by a majority of 5000.
and Congressman J. B. Pennington will be
reelected, though his majority will not
be so large. Republicans make no claims
Of the state, as their minority is too
clearly apparent
The Republicans, however, are making
desperate effort to carry the Legislature
IN order to secure United States
Senator to succeed Eli Salisbury.
They expect to elect state senator in
New Castle county, and one senator and
seven representatives in Kent county.
In New Castle county the Democratic
legislative ticket is composed of men
who will vote for James l.. Wolcott for
Uuited States Senator. Their nomina-
tion was secured by enforcing the unit
rule in the county convention, and Sena-
tor Saulsbury's friends are using this &C
ton as a preGext for opposing the ticket.
The indications are that they will sue
coed, although the regulars now claim
that the city will pull through. In Sus-
sex the Republicans are making hard
hight for the legislative ticket, and if
they succeed there and in Kent will con
troll the Legislature. Democrats say that
Sussex is safe.

How Russian convicts Are Transported to
Siberia-Hot Water Punishment.

The Mimi Novgorod Is an iron steamship
OF about $500 tons burden, and is specially
Fitted as convict transport. With full
complement of convicts the vessel carries

elusive Of a marine convoy escort OF sixty
two men specially chosen for this duty. The
iron barred compartments or cages ia which
the convicts are confined run parallel, fore
and ait, on either side the upper and lower
tween decks. The iron bars, an inch thick,
OF these cages and the woodwork in which
they are set, IS heavily and solidly con-
structed. Inc cages are Of unequal capacity
and length, but have a uniform height Of
seven and half feet Tho more desperate
characters are manacled and chained to iron
staples in their berths, from which they are
released when necessary. The greater num-
Der, although retaining the waist and ankle
shackes, Of light construction, have the
freedom of traversing the length Of tho con-
partinent, which may vary from twenty five
to forty feet. Between the outer bars and
the two plain plank shelves or hunks running
from end to end of the compartments which
afford sleeping room for tho occupants. there
is free space Of about four and a half or
i've feet.
Except during the distribution OF rations
no culinary vessels are left with the convicts.
Even the drinking water is obtained only
through an india rubber mouth piece fixed in
an inclosed water tank and through which
the drinEcr sucks his draught Immediar~lv
outside the cages and attached to tho under
part of the deck over head is a steam nine
connected with the ships boilers. Into these
pipes are fitted screw nozzles at intervals Of
twelve feet The object Of the steam pine is
to suppress any dangerous outbreak among
the inmates Of the cage. BY means Of a short
bose, specially made to resist the steam heat.
quickly attached TO one Of the steam Pine
nozzles, the turbulent convicts arc readily
quieted or parboied. Strong water lets
have been found next to useless in allayiny
these occasional tumults.
After the ship has passed the canal. but
not before, patches Of convicts are in turn
brought upon deck for a shower bath and
short exercise. A strongly constructed iron
railing, eight feet high, crosses the vessel
amidships, in order that the convict, during
bis bath and while unmanaoled, ccnnot by any
sudden rush evade the guard and reach the
quarter deck. Some OF the more desperate
convicts, who stubbornly resist all disciplin-
airy control, are confined TO the cages during
the whole voyage. Both the upper and lower
tween decks are open and airy, the system Of
ventilation being excellent, and the CAGES
themselves are kept scrupulously clean. The
cages are reprinted every voyage Every
convict, in addition TO having his hair
cropped short, has the left half OF the head
from front TO back closely shaved London

Oh. how withered and dead
The face the bare earth lies
Under the leailess trees
And the frown of the dropping skies,
Oh, how silent and sad
she sleeps ID her gloomy rest,
With never the song OF "a bird
And never flower on her breast,
And yet from the gloom and the silence
The far-oif spring shall arise.
Nav in the hidden life
Of the pretty things sleeping below.
Waiting the moment of waking.
Ready % bOurgeon ana grow.

OF this cool dark. quiet to-day

AS the strong warm kisses of May:
And which is the dearest and kindest,
No soul upon earth may know.

The information was sent to MS this
morning from a most reliable person that
it is the purpose Of the Gray Bayard
managers in this and in Sussex county
TO put Secretary Bayard into the seat
now occupied by Senator Salisbury. It
is asserted that Senator Gray would not
have gone into Kent and Sussex this
campaign but for his purpose to make
Mr. Bayard Senator again. Il is obvi-
GUS to everybody that James L. Wolcott.
Esq, has absolutely no chance
Of succeeding Mr. Salisbury. unless he
carries Kent county which Is not proba
