Never was there more healthful and health ministering literature than that which Scott gave to the world says An drew D. White ln Scribner's Magazine To go back to it from Flaubert, and Daudet, and Tolstoi is like listening to the song of the lark after the shrieking passion of the midnight pianoforte-nay, it is like coming out of the glare and heat and reeking vapor of palace ball into a grove in the first light and music and breezes of the morning. It is not for nothing that so many thousands have felt toward Scott a deep personal gratitude, which few, if any, other writers of English fiction have ever awals- ened

INTERNAL REVENUE COMMISSIONER MASON is turning out Grand Army dem ocrats found in his department. If he would leave the veterns in and swing his axe in tho direction of democrats who are such for revenue only there would be less censure of his action by honest democrats. He can find plenty of the revenue gang if he looks through the internal revenue service.

the woods. They separated. Owens to tale
the horse from the stable, which he did
about eight O'Clock. He turned the animal
over to Hamilton, who rode her to Milford
Isaacs and Owens drove home in team of
their own, and Isaacs locked the stolen mare
IN his stable. Isaacs says he paid Owens SOS
for the mare, and that Owens paid Hamilton
IS for bringing her to Milford. The next
night they started for Denton, Nd. and
reached there about sunrise. Hamilton
traded the mare to man named Vanc;esle |
the owner ofalivery stable for an old s'pluvn
and SIS, giving both to Isaacs. Hamilton
was arrested on Wednesday by constable

frightful sores broke out all over my body.
The poison IN my blood was so bad that it
ruined my health aud prostrated me. was
at length so reduced in health, and appar-
emily incurable after taking large quantities
of different medicines prescribed by my ply
sicians, that they, as a last resort, advised
me to 60 to Hot Springs, as it was the only
chance of recovery left, aud in this they ex-
pressed their serious doubts that would de-
RYE any benefit from the trip. I went to
Hot Springs, and while there took a thor
ough course of medicine under the physi.
clans, which seemed to benefit but did not
cure me, for in one month after my return
the malady reappeared. / Immediately
began taking S. S. S., which made me per-

Mr.. EDITOR I'm 1887 the school
commissions Of District IS, Sussex
county, Informed Mr.. Carpenter they
wanted part of District ia added to
1s, To lessen their taxes In building a
school'hOuse. The first day of April,
1887 Mr.. Carpenter met the commits
sioners at the Clerks house of rs,
talked the matter over. and advised
the surveyor to make the lines as said
commissioners wanted. Without no
tifying any of the parties in 778. Mr.
Carpenter had not visited the school
in "a for six years, and then but once:
possibly he Was deceived in the condi-
ton of 774, When lie advised the sur
veyor Mr.. Short, to make these lines.
Mr.. Short, without using any chains.
made these imaginary lines; the same
day one OF the commissioners Of 78. !
told some of the voters they must come |
to their voting place to vote, that the |
Board Of Education had set them over
to IS, but they, having no previous
knowledge of being SET over, protested.
The commissioners of 7s levied their
tax aud collected them against the
protest of all the parties.
Finding they were not backed bv
any law the commissioners paid back
the amount they had collected for the
year 1887. In 1888 they petitioned to
the Levy Court TO make valid the i'm
aginary lines. The Levy Court voted
against their petition On the first
ballot, but the vote WAS recalled by
political influence, as we are informed,
and vote was secured ia favor Of the
new lines without any regard for
chapter 296. Vol. II Of the Laws Of
Delaware, which forbids their inter-
fering with district 30 as to leave it
with less than IS scholars between the
age of s aud 2l. District III had but
