KENT county's Jail is an expensive
toy for the taxpayers to maintain, amt
ajOlly good free winter boarding LOus {
for those prisoners who chose to re-
main; but for criminals like George
S. Dill and Bob Allen, the Jail is a.
useless as the fifth wheel to wagon
under the system nov in vogue. Sher-
iff FenimOre has probably realized
since last Thursday that his easy going
jailOrskip is not the proper way to
guard criminals. II all men were hon
est, jails would have no existence, and
jailUrs no occupation. 1t is the busl-
hess of iailor to guapd and secure his
prisoners against all possibility of es-
cape and injury to the honest public.
John NJ. ClaytOn's opinion of u gubtr-
material aspirant appears to apply to
Sheriff FenimOre and his administra-
tinn, /. e., Mr.. Clayton when asked
his opinion Oe gentleman named as
the proper man for placing on the
ticket for Governor, said: "Yes, he is
good man. Too good He is so
good that he's good for nothing"
Now Sheriff FenimOre is a good man;
easy going; does right from moral
standpoint, aud wants rybody else
to do right; but his very virtues appear
to be his weakness in an official capac-
ity. The escape Of Dill and Allen on
Thanksgiving Day was because they
possessed a duplicate key and Dill was
the privilege 0fhaving his cell
door unlocked. If prisoners are To he
permitted to leave the Jail to make
tracks in u garden for an atlOrney-al-
aw, simply because the request to do
SO i made, and liberties be granted to
dangerous criminals, then the Jail had
,etter be turned into a tramp's lodging
lOuse, aud our law-brea kers be boarded
IL neighbOring penitentiaries of other
tates. /

THE white Cross Movement" is tC
be commended for its endeavOrs tC
protect virtue and raise the social
standard; but its secretary, w. r.
Smith, Of 222 Waverly Place, New
York, grossly libels the State of Della
ware in circular issued by him this
week. The paragraph referred TO reads
as follows:
That the condition Of Legislation in refer
ence to women is now painfully unsatisfac-
tory. In the eye Of the law, the virtue of a
young woman is of less account than her
purse, having less legal protection. What
is commonly called the age of consent,
otherwise "the age of protection" is, in
most states unreasonably low; while in the
State Of Delaware it is fixed at the shameful
figure ofseyen years; thus enabling girl of
that age to sell her virtue, while not permit
ted to sell her doll or pocket handkerchief.
Mr.. smith has probably got hold OF
an act passed for the especial prOtec-
tiOn Of CHILDREN, aud Jailed to fiud
the law regulating the age of consent.
ONlaWaAS 10 ohaAnSAuAll DGhluu uGl /
sister states in statute Law, but we
wish to disabuse the minds Of not only
the secretary ofthe White Cross Move
menl, bnt Of all people, that Delaware
is careless Of her daughters virtue.
We have strong laws on this particular
subject. and only at the last Legislature
lineage Of consent was raised from thir-
teen to eighteen years. Even the most
lover of our ancient State ,
Constitution is willing To admit that
this advance Is an improvement over
the old law. THESE remarks may not /
correct the errors of opinion by Others l
Of Delaware aud her laws; but they !
serve 10 show to Delaware people ust {
how The outside world talk and think &
If Delaware; and All because Of her ] ]
I'D constitution and laws-bolh made !
'efore the abolition of slavery and the :
ra of ielegraphy.

OF Special Interest to All our Read
ers Who Possess the Boon Of
a Baby.

A magazine devoted to the care of infant
was established in New York few year
ago. Its plan was to procure the best writ
ing that money could buy from physicians
trained nurses, and everyone else who was
competent to advise in the perplexities that
confront conscientious parents who aim al
successful training of their children. An
experienced physician was placed in charge
as medical editor.
This magazine, BABYHooD by name, has
met with remarkable success the world over.
Its foreign subscription list was sufficiently
large for it to establish London Office last
year and begin the issue ofa foreign edition.
BABYHooD contains important popular ar.
ticles on Infants diseases; departments of
Nursery Problems" in which numerous
questions ofsubscribers are answered; "Nur.
sery Helps and Novelties" (" comprising de.
scriptions Of recent inventions and convent.
ent nursery furnishings; Mothers Parlia-
ment," containing interesting letters from
readers, ETC., etc. The CoNgrsgGffonalfsf

often expressed, viz ; that it is peerless in its
way. It is full of material OF the most prac.
