Home Love.

It has been we'll said that "Sympa'
thy is one of the divine gifts to the hu-
man soul" Life grows deeper and
fuller in it's meaning as we open our
hearts to minister to others.
We do not realize that the youth IN
our midst reflect our lives-that the
next generation will be just what we
make it 4; even as the impress of our
ancestors is upon us. Their surround
inps made them stern and retlcent. II
is hard for us to break from these bonds
of heredity. 1t is a pity that we do
not strive to influence those commit
ted to our care by our sympathies: W.
live double lives-one, cold and self
contained; the other pulsing with love
and yearning towards our kindred, our
neighbor, our friend.
Many a boy and girl have been re-
pulsed when asking for sympathy, by
telling their griefs or joys to some Old
er member of the family. go away
I cannot listen to you now" has prov
ed the ruin of some bright, confldlng
child in many a household 1t does
not occur to that mother or sister that
this turning away will send the child
to some one of more willing ear, but
very likely to one whose sympathy is
with the wrong, and whose advice will
be pernicious. Could the mother reRl-
ize this, and the Importance of seeking
the confidence of her child. surely she
might reserve one hour, at least, in the
twenty-four, for her children, when
theh could come to her and tell their
griefs, or ask her advice. So would
She be able to point out their mistakes,
and help them over the hard places,
which often are so very hard to the
child. The home-love may so enwrap
the child-life that waywardness will
become docility. While we so careful
ly train the mental and physical pow
ers of our children, shall we not also
see to it that the affections ate guarded
and directed?
sTheres many lie of sweet content,
Whose virtue is environment

The gentleman is solid mahogany ;

The natural propensities of the heart
call for constant watchfulness. Satan
takes advantage of mans weakness
arouses his temper and provokes to bad
words. These in turn lead us to sinful
deeds, or provoke some one else TO
wrath and vengeance.
"I do not think that when a man
feels he is doing good in his own way
he needs reproach himself that he is
not doing good in SOME other way to
which he is not urged by special duty
and from which he is rcpelled by con-
stitutional temperament"
A men who possesses every other Ii
tie to our respect except that of courte-
sy is in danger of forfeiting all. A
rude manner renders its owner always
liable to aflront. He is never without
dignity who avoids wounding the dig
nifty of others.
The worker who brings out the best
results is not the one who has thirsted
for public applause, but the one who
has sought to climb summit too high
for the populace even to see. He finds
it comparatively easy to satisfy others,
but this does not satisfy him. The la
borer in any sphere whose sole aim is
notoriety, works on lower plane and
is content with inferior results.
Is God for me? fear not,
Though all against mcriSe;
When call on Christ my Saviour,
The host OF evil flies:
My Friend the Lord Almighty,
And he who loves me, God,
What enemy shall harm me,
Though coming rs q flood
Iknow lt-I believe it
! say 1t fearlessly-
That God, the Highest Mightlcst,
Forever loveth me.
At all times, in all places,
He stanicth OF my side;
He rules the battles fpry
The tempest and the tide.
One reason why David desired to
dwell in the house Of the Lord was
that he might Enquire in His tenn
pie" Many think only cf the pleas
ure they may find in church attend
ance, but spiritual profiting ought to
be one of our principal thoughts. If
there were more of a disposition with
professors of Christianity to "inquire"
for the truths that may enlarge the
mind and heart, there would not be so
many unoccupied seats in our sanctua-
ries.

LEVY COURT.


A special Meeting Mt which the
Troublesome Third street. Bridge
WAS Discussed.
Msssrs Rotbwell, Eliason, Hickman,
Jordan, Kilgore, Roberts, Wisr, Grub,
Sutton and MCCALL were present vt Tues
day mornings special session OF the levy
court.
President Grub called for business
and Mr.. Wier Offered the bond of Andrew
8. Webster of Blaekbird hundred as be-
ing in order. II was accepted on motion.
The bonds of Julian L, Janvier and W.
j. Ferris for Constable Israel d. Rulings
of New CASTLE county were approved.
James n. 8. Gam, Red Liou hundred,
WAS allowed the sum OF $l17 error In
assessments of last year. Satisfaction
was entered on Mr.. Cams bond for 1883.
President Grubb handed three letters
to the clerk to be read. They were re-
oeived from the Diamond State Iron
Company, the Lobdell Oar Wheel Com
pany and Head h Co.,, in which en-
phatic remonstrsnoe was made against
the shameful condition of Third street
bridge, the trouble and expense it cauaed
buBiness people and residents and the
annoyance they were put to by the con-
tinusl bresking down of the bridge.
Mr.. Grub said he had notified the
writers Of these communications that
there would be meeting of court Tues
day, when the nature of their grievance
and all they had to say on the matter
would be listened to.
Mr.. Hickman stated that there had
been no breakdown of the bridge since
July 1st. (The letters referred to were
dated July 2d.) He continued stating he
would be perfectly willing to to have a
committee appointed to investigate
whether the fault is in the machinery or
whether it lies with the BRIDE tender.
II it be in the machinery, new gearing,
he thought should be substituted. He
thought 1t bad machinery aud believed
the other members Of the court held the
same opinion as he did. Steel machinery
| Is being substituted by the Pussy d Jones
Company and they are doing the work as
fast as they can
Here President Grubb broke out In
dignantly:
s'Why did those expert engineers mis-
| lead us in their report. We knew nothing
about the machinery. We accepted it as
in good order and thoroughly Efficient
MIR. Wier-"Ali the experts and the
engineers reported to our committee that
| the bridge was In nrst rate oruer. mad ny
doubts about it at the time but could
not set up my opinion against those pro
fessional men,"
Mr.. Grubb--'I guess when the new
machinery is put in the bridge will be al
right"
There seemed to be vague, though
unexpressed opinion floating around to,
room that all this meant large additions
expense to the county.
Mr.. Hickman arose again and aftel
reiterating his desire for an investigating
committee TO view the bridge referred Il
the number of accidents recently hap
peniDg to the bridge piers, &c., and tina
money is oollectable from those through
whose oarelsssneBs those accidents to thu
county property happened.
The subject OF the sheriff's feed bill
WAS not mentioned Tuesday.
Levy court will meet on Tuesday
August 9th.

The Annual Meeting OF Stock
holders and Election and Organs
izati0n of Directors Tuesday.
The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the City Passenger Railway Com
pany was held in the Clayton House
parlors Tuesday afternoon.
The financial report as read by Sec
rotary John F. Miller was an extremely
gratifying one and showed q hand
some surplus. A half yearly divi-
dend OF "a per cent was declared
on the half paid up stock of the
combined electric and horse railway sys-
tens. The consolidated stock consists OF
so 600 shares upon which So share has
been paid and SO called. The latter call
ia made to pay for the new electric plant
and other improvements.
The following directors were elected:
William Candy, George 81. Bates, George
W. Bush, Daniel W. Taylor, Washington
Jones, Preston Lea, Charles 3. Rowland.
Organization was effected by the cleo
tion of William Candy, president, and
John F. Miller, secretary and treasurer.
Nothing was done at the meeting OF the
stockholders In regard to the extension OF
railway facilities, that being in the hands
of the directors who have entire manage
ment OF such mooted points as the oper-
ating Of the Front and Union line, the
construction of line along Fourth street
the extension beyond Third street bridge,
aud the various electric roads asked for at
various sections in the city.
The company will be generating Ito
own electricity in about six weeks time
when the new works at middle depot will
be in running order.
On July Alb the top notch In local pas
senger traffic wes reached when the com.
pany's system carried $4,000 people.
Even now, many time OF Saturdays they
carry as an ordinary thing between II ,00(
and IL, 900 passengers. To carry on thii
business az horse cars and six electric
| cars are in use.
AS soon as the company hos its electric
plant running there will be sufficient
| power to run IL electric cars to meet
emergencies instead of the six as now.

enumeration was employing comparn-
lively ns many m n Sd are now working
there.
Since 1880 Wilmington has increased
in population AT per centum, or from
~, 478 to 81, 275 souls.
It is estimated that with all the emil
grafton, added TO the natural increase,
the census Of the United 1T ties will show
growth in population Of rs per oentum
over the enumeration Of 1850. 30 it
will be seen Wilmington has nearly
doubled the average OF increase,
The oity'a growth has been little short
OF marvellous, when it Is considered that
the west and south are Offering big in
ducements for industries and population,
1t can be shown that there has been no
considerable increase wrought through
extensions of the city's boundaries to
such unnecessary proportions as other
cities have gone to.
In the past 10 years real estate has in
creased in value as shown by the city as
Hessment from 1928, 100000 in 1880 to
$33, GIT, 96l in 1904 clear advance OF
over As per oertum-more than the
growth of the city in population.
Whether this fiattering condition ap-
plies to the county and State remains to
be seen. In tho smaller towns the growth
has been less marked and in some in
stances the population has decreased
through various local CAUSES. The coun-
try districts will probably show about the
same proportionste figures as are exhib-
tied by the small towns. SO that 1t ia
hardly probable that the State outside Will
mington will be much the gamer In point
of population. There has unmistakab y
been marked depreciation in the actual
market valuation of farm lands in Della
ware as elsewhere, and the comparison
with the figures of 1880 will scarcely be
| consoling or inspiritin2 reading. This
| depreciation IL by no means confined to
Delaware, but is general throughout the
| eastern and Middle States, and the Ola
nond State will be found to have kept
up LeY average Us we'll as other sgri
cultural communities. The opening Of
thIs decade finds our farmers in rather
bad financial condition, but this is In nc
| way attributable to local causes.
II is hardly possible that the completed
enumeration will show gain of oyel
5000 people in the entire State outside
OF this city. Therefore it is safe esti
mate to place the population of Della
ware at about 1861 souls; the fgurel
4 Of 1880 show it to be LAG, COB.
The following table gives the populs
ton Of cities and towns for 1880 and 1891
with their increase or decrease:

Associated Press Dispatch by special Wires.
CLEVELAND, o., July 18.-The Republican
state convention was called to order az l1.SO
to-day by Hon. a. T. Brinsmade, chairman
OF the state central committee.
Music Hall was comfortably Allied by the
delegates and spectators, Ex-Governor
Foraker, the temporary chairman, came
upon the stage with Colonel Brinsmade.
Hie appearance was the signal for pro-
longed and enthusiastic cheering.
The Rev. DR.. 8. p. Sprecher opened the
convention with prayer. At the 9 nolu-
sion OF short speech by Colonel Brins.
made, the ex-governor was introduced and
delivered an address which occupied nearly
an hour In its delivery, and he was loudly
applauded at different points; his arrAign-
ment OF Governor oampbelis administra'
ton being greatly enjoyed by the delegates.
The convention then took a recess until
2 80 p. m.
In the course of his remarks EXC Governor
Foraker referred to the administration OF
Governor Campbell and pointed out the
instances In which it had violated It's
pledges on the stump. He referred IN
eulogistic terms TO Sherman, Mckinley and
Foster; praised the administration OF
President Harrison, and the work OF the
Republican Congress.

tlon. 1t will approve the Federal Election
bill and the MCKINLEY Tariff bill In strong
terms. Speaker Reeds course will be
Endorsed, as will also the acts OF
the Republican majority in Congress.
There will be an expression OF confidence
in President Harrison and the late admins
tration OF Gov Foraker will probably be
commended. In civil service reform there
may be q contest, for Congressman
Grosvenor, 1t is said, has reso-
luton condemning the law and
calling for its repeal. This will hardly
hnd sympathy among other Repub-
licans. The convention will meet at II
O'Clock tomorrow forenoon, with ex-Gov.
Foraker as temporary chairman. Foraker
will make speech vigorously arraigning
the present Democratic administration OF
state affairs.
Daniel j. Ryan will be renominated for
secretary OF state and Thaddeus A. NimBhRll
for Judge Of the supreme court. There will
be short contest among the two or three
candidates for member OF the Board Of
Public Works.

y. N. Wills Estimates the Crop at
1895 Raskets our Orchards
Rave NearIy IO,O0O,o00 Trees.
The Clayton Call says; Through the
courteEy of Superintendent /. N. Mills OF
the Delaware division we give our readers
q statement OF the number of peach trees
along the line Of the various roads form
ing the Delaware division, and an IT,
mate of the probable crop for 1890.
General Superintendent Il. T. Stacey
has also kindly given us the same infor-
nation for the Baltimore d Delaware Bay
railroad.
The number of trees along the Della
ware Division is estimated ct 8, liz, 9o3;
those along the Baltimore d Delaware
Bay railroad at $50, $50, making total Of
1901, 1858.
Our estimate for the trees growing
along the Baltimore q Eastern Shore rail-
road ia 800, 600 and for the territory along
the New York. Philadelphia d Norfolk
railroad, 100000, making a total Of
1911 1858.
In addition to this it is estimated that
there are probably 100000 trees along
the water courses or points from which
il is hard TO obtain definite information,
making q total of 9,8l1 ,653 trees. In
looking over these figures 1t is pleaBing
TO note that one-third of them have not
ss yet come into bearing, SO that this
profitable business in not likely to die
out soon. But what OF the crop for the
present year, 12,375 baskets are the
figures named and we believe that they
fully cover the amount that will be
gathered during the present season.
There has not been failure like the
present one for many years, although In
| 1881 only So parts of car loads were
shipped over the railroads of the PENN
sola. Since that time, however, q NUM-
Der of paying crops have been gathered,
the largest being in 1882, when 5000 car
loads were shipped from the Peninsula.
1t may be q good omen that the largest
crop 1889 since 1875 followed the
smallest crop and that next years crop
