She Tried and Knows.

A leading chemist of New York
says: No plasters ofsuch merit as
the Ath- lo-pho-ros Plasters haveever
before been produced" They are
a novelty because they are not made
simply to sell cheap, they are the
best that science, skill and money
can produce, and will do what is
claimed for them. For sprains,
aches, weakness, lameness, etc.,
they are unequaled.

MILTON.

On Christmas evening the play, 'Joseph
and his Brethren, was rendered to a crowded
house. c. B. Morris, in the character of
Joseph, made decided impression, and
Roland Atkins, as Dersonator of Jacob, made
quite good looking old man. DR.. B. Hop
kins, as Simeon, and VIM. Starkey, as Ben
jamin, played their parts well, as did the
others who were on the stage. Altogether,
the play was very good considering the short
time the amateurs have had for rehearsals-
After the performance, the Sabbath School
was given its annual treat of confectionery
and oranges, which, as usual was highly ap.
pieciated, especially by the infant class,
which now contains one hundred and two
members. When they all get to singing
under their leader, Mrs Mary Goslee, it is
music Truly worth hearing.
The most brilliant wedding that the citi-
zens of Milton and vicinity eyer witnessed
took place at the NJ. E. Church in this town
on Wednesday morning at eleven O'Clock.
The contracting parties were Mr. William
II. Chandler, son Of L. B. Chandler, Esq,
and Miss Sallie Russell, daughter Of the late
Captain William Russelland niece of George
Russell, Esq, formerly Of Milford. Long
before the hour for tying the nuptial knot
every available seat in the sacred edifee was
filed. Those who could not get seat.
thronged the corridor and iisles, and the
yard Of the church and the street were lined
with spectators eager to get glimpse Of the
bridal party. Precisely at Il O'Clock they
entered the church to the strains Of Mendels

style by Mr. John Ellingsworth. The brides
maids were Miss Alice wiltbank, of Milton

ONE of two positions confronts the
Republican party in Delaware, which
tersely put is,it must take up as cont
promise candidate, either man like
n. B. Smithers, or man who has
enough backing to accomplish, ,unaided
by any of the many would-be leaders,
the task of organizing, by counties, in
each aud every hundred, bureaus to
canvass the possible vote and see that
all voters are assessed; then further,to
furnish to each bureau sufficient
money to pay and see to it that the tax
of every man entitled to vote in the
State Of Delaware is paid. What will
it profit the Republicans, or the cause
of Constitutional Reform, il both of
Delaware's members in the United
States Senate are Republicans, il
they fail to carry Delaware in 1890
The main question at stake is har-
mOny, that victory may come two
years from now. If harmony is i'm
possible, then cast the discordant ele-
ments over and adopt radical and prac-
tical measures.

A Convenient Calendar and Stand.
The most convenient, valuable, and
novel business, table, or desk calendar for
1880, is the Columbia Bicycle Calendar and
Stand issued by the Pope Mfg Co., Of
Boston, Mass. The calendar proper is in
the form of pad containing sos leaves, one
for each day in the year, to be torn off daily,
The leaves are SIS x2A inches, portion of
each IS left blank for memoranda and as the
leaves are not pasted, but sewed at the ends,
any entire leaf as we'll as the memorandum
blank, can be exposed whenever desired.
The pad rests upon a portable stand, which
takes up very little room, and when placed
upon the desk or writing table, the entire
surface Of the date leaf is brought directly.

MONEY has, and always will be, a
potent factor in politics. The legiti-
mate expenses in a campaign would
astonish the initiated, aud in trans
ferring the contest from the pells to
the Legislature, the necessary expenses,
/. e, OF travelling. of paying expense
of friends to urge the particular fitness
of faYorite, etc., ETC., etc, upon men,
bers and other friends for their sup
port and influence, entails the expen
diture of as much, or more, money
than the contest by the people. With
this fact we'll known to all, that class
of "more holy than thou" people, who
profess to have tile welfare of party,
state, ETC., at heart, are willing to
hound down those doing the work, by
raising the cry of bribery corruption,
undue influence, etc." Well, it may
be good politics, but conscience, fper-
mitted to reign, must make these polit-
ical saints feel awful bad about their
own misrepresentation OF candidates
in opposition to their favorite aspir-
ant. The honest use of money is pref
erable 10 lying, and much less demor-
alizing. For fifty years past. we ven
ture to assert, that there has not been
a choice of United States Senator
made, when the contest was so close
as It is now but what many thousands
of dollars have been expended by those
interested-not on members for their
votes but in the hundreds of channels
opened to present the claims and quail
ifications of various aspirants.

troll of public schools in Sussex county, and
say that there are no permits now granted
authorizing persons to teach certain time
without certificates During the last eigh-
teen months, there have been so many ap-
plications made for permits, that it is deemed
proper aud necessary to inform all persons
seeming not to be conYersant with the law,
that it makes no provision for permits, and
that it has been, and is still, entirely useless
for commissioners or teachers to make any
effort to secure them.
