TWENTIETH DAY.
January Serial Sale.

To-day closes the third
week Of the January Serial
Sale. 1t was announced &c )
sale in which new BARGAINS
should be offered daily. The
promise has been faithfully
kept, and will continue to be
until the end of the month.
The experience has been.
quite extraordinary. The
weather was until esterday
uniformlyswarm, often stormy,
but the interest has been in
creasing daily. Competition
has not dared to follow, much
less meet, the offerings. The
whole movement has been.
carried on in a plain, square,
straightforward way. We say
to you by types and our sales
people: Here are the goods,
the prices are so and so, and
you reply: Yes, they are
cheap, well take them"
That's the daily dialogue,
spoken more loudly by action
than word.

The mandamus case shows to the world
what an impartial tribunal made mp from
both political parties think of Senator
Higginss sensational and unwarranted
charges against the assessment and col
lection laws of this state amounted to.
Il was an unfortunate move for him,
considering the results. because it shows
his charges are untrue and so believed to
be by men of his own party in this state,
whose oaths Of office and high judicial
position requires unbiased judgement.

THE Philadelphia Republican papers
have been curiously obfusticated by the
mandamus decision here. They are
under the impression that it was q
victory FOR the bTibing managers Of Re
publican voters. They seem to be under
the impression that the managers will
be able to bride the negroes and influence
the factory hands by wholesale. They
are mistaken. The decision knocked
that scheme in the head. The Republican
committee will never pay poll taxes by
wholesale in Delaware. This is not
Pennsylvania.

After the musical feature OF the enter
tainment was completed the guests all
sat down 10 a supper
The feature Of the evening was the adj
dress 70 the members of the association
by the chaplain of the library, Rev.
Father Birmingham. The reverend gem
tleman was introduced by Harry Sweeney.
president of the association. He said
that on anniversary occasions one should
look back and discharge the obligations
one has incurred. At the last anniversary
Of the organization his theme was Man,
the debt Of gratitude we owe him" This
anniversary therefore. would be incom-
plete without 3 tribute to woman.
Woman is the charm Of poetry and of
every relation from the dawn to the close
of life To her me owe the hottest of all
human institutions. the Christian family,
and on the family was erected the monu-
ment of civilization.
It is woman who brings forth and
nourishes the human race she cares for
and watches over it from the cradle to
the grave. Hence Young man who is
contemplating marriage should see to it,
that the women he Is about to marry has
been educated as woman, not as man.
Woman was created to be a wife and
mother That is her destiny. Her
proper sphere is home, and her function
is to manage family and look after a
household. She was born to be queen of
her own household, and to make that
home cheerful, bright and happy. The
love Of a mother is proverbial Others
may forget us; mother never forgets
even her ungrateful and undeserving
children.
He urged upon the members of the
society the proper appreciation and ven
Grafton of woman, and said that in the
Americans respect for woman. which
surpasses any other nation, lies the pre-
eminence Of our beloved country. He
spoke of the devotion Of woman during
the Civil War, and how uncomplainingly
they suffered its hardships and encouraged
the soldier In the field. She, in her
patience, was more heroic than the gal
liant men who charged at Lookout Noun
tain or were members of the heroic
Pickett's division. The hand that rocks
the cradle controls the destiny Of man

The Last of His Whisky.

Not long ago Senator Blackburn
went to western Texas on a pleasure
excursion, and en- route took in the
Indian Territory. One day, when he
was riding alone, taking in all the
glories of the great pasture land, he
was overtaken by redskin, who spoke
little English.
"Cowman, eh ?" was his first inqui-
ry.
"Oh, no; I'm just looking at this
fine country. l don't live here; l
live in Kentucky
Kentucky! Ugh! You got any
whisky ?"
The senator had a small flask of
"Old Grow" in his side pocket and
Immediately produced it. In little
time the aboriginal wanted second
drink, and finally the whole flask /;
but after giving him two small Gig
gers" the civiities were brought to an
end.
That evening, when the senator was
in the public room of the hotel at the
little Texas town, he told of the cir
cumstances of having met the Indian
and said:
"In all my life | have never seen
any human being on God Almighty's
green earth that ever had tithe Of
the appreciation for a bottle Of whisky
that this redskin manifested. Gentle
men, | am telling you not whit more
than the absolute truth when l say
that Indian begun by offering me his
repeating Colts rifle, and ended by
dismounting from his horse and offer
ing me his Arapahoe blanket, his
Mexican silver.mounted saddle, his
gun, pistols, and the horse itself for
what remained in my flask. | really
believe he would have given me his
leggings, moccasins, gee string and all,
and gone back naked for Just that lit
tie modicum of whisky"
"Well senator" said one of his au.
dience, "why didn't you trade with
him 7"
