another Christmas. All chrlsten-
dom is preparing to celebrate the
festal season. Old and young
alike aro looking forward with
pleasant anticipations to the JOYS
which always come trooplng along
in the train of the old year us It
draws near to its close. What
glorious season is Christmas to
the children! Even those OF us
who have reached life'S hilltop
and are declining into the vale OF
years become children again atthe
approach of the blessed festival
How readily do we dream ourselves
back into childhood again, mount
orr hobby horses, and jangle our
supple jacks as We did i'll years
now long agone! The times have
changed wonderfully since those
f;.r-otf days OF childhood; but
Christmas remains the same hap
by season of unusual joy. The
children now have far more ahd
far prettier toys than their fathers
and mothers had, but We doubt
whether they derive more pleas
IRE from them than anie.bellum
children used TO get from the rude
toys of those days. The fact is,
there is something i'll the atmos
phere of Christmas that gives it
an unteScr BIB Charm. 1t is true
that the observance OF this great
christian festival is too often pro-
famed by undue indulgence ill
liotouS pleasures, but everyone
must confess that recent years have
wrought a great change for the
better in this respect. Much has
been done 10 redeem Christmas

be, fitting season in which 70

LEwEs, Del October 3l-The Republi-
cans Of Lewes and Rehoboth hundred
held a rousing out door meeting here last
night, fully 1000 voters being present. A
brilliant horseback parade by Young men
and boys and illumination of the houses
preceded the meeting. The stand had
been closed up at it's rear TO protect the
speakers. but the crowd was so great that
it entirely surrounded the stand and it
had to be opened on the four sides Rev
Jonathan s. Willis spoke first, devoting
himself wholly to the tariff He spoke
for an hour and was generously ap-
plauded.
Anthony Higgins. Esq, followed in an
hours speech on the tariff and the state
issues. His references to local politics
created immense enthusiasm. When he
asked where Mr. NAPLES. the Democratic
candidate for the Legislature stood in
respect to a constitutional convention the
audience eheered again and again. He
wanted TO know, too, why Lewes and Re
/ h0both so Jealous usually Of its ancient
rights, prerogatives and privileges, had
not demanded that most essential right
of not only nominating, but also Of cleo
ing its own Levy Court Commissioner.
The election Of these officers by counties
was not provided for by the constitution
but by statutes. Mr.. Higgins reception
was cordial and enthusiastic to the last
degree
Horace g. Knowles, Esq. made the
last speech Of the evening He too spoke
for an hour, devoting himself to local
issues mainly. This is Mr.. Knowles I
home and the community is very proud
of the young politician. He was given a
warm reception, the large audience re
naming until the end and asking to heai
more.
Mr., Higgins, accompanied by Charlie
H. Treat and Joseph f. Thropp. VIII,
spoke at Georgetown yesterday, returned
to Wilmington this morning.

he has permitted his Secretary Of State to
