How the Clerk at the clayton IHous
Was Efunbugged.

Il. Bowman of Newark. N. j., registered
at the Clayton House April 30th. The fol-
lowing morning after breaktasting he ap-
peared at the deck and paid his bill. When
he had left one Of the chambermAtds ap-
peared and informed Mr.. Pyle that three OF
the blankets were missing from No. 81. On
reference TO the register the room turned
out to be that of the departed guest Bow
man. But the CLERK fortunately remem-
berod that his trusted guest mad left in his
charge weighty grip sack which the care
full clerk had wisely slowed away on general
principles. He produced It triumphantly.
On being opened tho grip sack OF course
contained nothing but bricks. The clerk
flushed modest.y at the chambermaidis re-
proachful looks, then hurriedly retreated
and hid himself for the remainder OF tue
day.
Immediately following the denouement OF
the bricks, the clerk received telephone
warning from the proprietor of the Mansion
House at West Chester that Bowman would
probably pay the Clayton House visit. The
thief had robbed that hotel OF blankets by
exactly the same trick as had Just been
successfully performed.

GREAT rs ASrHoNr.
How lue GObbled UP a Small Postal
Appointment in Maryland.

From the Chestertown, Nd, Transcript
The great Delaware Anthony Higgins ap-
pears TO have an appetite for Federal
patronage entirely too large for his little
State. He made set effort to get the reve.
nue. oollectorship for the Maryland and
Delaware district for Dslaware man,
through Maryland furnished ninetenths the
business. Failing 10 secure that, he has
gobbled up u smaller Maryland appoints
ment In very snap judgment manner.
The position CT postal mail agent on the
Kent county railroad has always been re-
garded as local appointment due this
county. The position has been held by Mr..
+, A. Greenwood, Democrat. who has per-
formed the duties very efficiently. on
Monday last, Charles y. Cole. from Chess
void, Del, boarded tho Kent train and
showed appointment papers to succeed Mr..
Greenwood on NAV lst. This was the first
intimation that Mr.. Greenwood had re-
ceived that he was to be superseded, and
tho flrst intimation that this Republican
leaders tn this county had that there was
to be change. They are naturally. and
very Justly, Indignant. There had been no
one from This county designated for the
place. and II Is said Mr.. Greenwood was ex.
peeted to serve his time out. Several local
aspirants for the place. however, have
been busy getting matters In form to mako
fight for the place. So far rs material
Is concerned, Kent county has an
abundance, and there Is no need OF calling
upon the gre At Higgins or little Delaware.
Rumor says that Messrs. William G. Russell
and J. L. Hamilton were looking forward
to the appointment, and expected at the
proper time to file formal applications with
the department at Washington. Mr.. Cole
holds the fort, however. Small Is the
State OF Delaware, but great is Anthony
Higgins.

HOW RAILROADS HELP Va.

Poor's Manual for 1850, after review
ing the railroad business of the country
for the past year, makes the following
statement about the value Of railroads to
this section Of the country, where grain
raising is carried on 50 extensively:
Over ordinary earth roads wheat will
bear transportation for q distance OF
only ESQ miles when it's value is $3.50
per bushel at the market. Indian corn
will bear transportation only 1s5 miles
when its value is 10 cents per bushel.
When grown 1t greater distances from
market, these products. without rail-
roads, have no commercial or export
able value. The railroads, by exporting
at one-twentieth the cost over earth
roads, give marketable value to wheat
grown 5000 miles inland; to Indian corn
grown $500 miles inland. Beyond .
certain limit, consequently, these works
are the sole inducemsnt to the produc-
tion Of these staples In an amount
greater than that necessary for con-
9uption by the producer. The railroads
of the country have bsen the instru-
ments, Of all others, in placing il in its
present position before the world, by en-
abling the wheat grower in distant Ds-
kota to compete successfully with the
wheat grower Of Western Europe in his
accustomed markets.
