Our Sons ann Girls.
The Reason.

Grandma Gruff said curious thing
" Boys may whistle but girls may sing"
That's the very thing heard her say
To Kate, no longer than yesterday.
Boys may whistle" OF course they may,
II they pucker their lips the proper way;
But for the life of me I can't see
why Kate can't whistle as well as me.
" Boys may whistle but girls must sing; "
Now call that curious thing.
IL boys can whistle, why can't girls too?
Its he easiest thing in the world to do.
First You do that, then you do this.
just like you were fixing up for kiss.
It's very poor girl, that's all say,
who can't make out to do that way
" Boys may whistle, but girls may not"
A whistles a song with the noise knocked out
Strayed Off somewhere down in the throat,
Everything lost but the changeful note.
So If boys can whistle, and do It well.
Why cannot girls. will somebody tell2
why can't they do what boy can do
That is the thing should like to know.
went to father and asked him why
Girls couldn't whistle as well as I.
And he said, The reason that girls must sing
Is because girls a singular thing"
And grandma laughed till knew she'd ache
When said thought it all a mistake
Never mind, little man." heard her say,
" They will make you whistle enough some day"

GRuDGINoLY the Democratic papers
award stinted praise to Secretury
Blaine for his admirable management
of the italian iinbroglio. 1t took all
the buster out of tho Italian Minister
and has virtually settled tho difficulty.
While Democratic papers withhold the
need of praise due to Mr.. Blaine the
English papers, with wh01c, he Is no
favorite, have given him unstinted
praise. Fleet or no feet, Secretary
Blaine has shown once for all that tho
United States is neither to be coaxed
nor bullled into the support of any
measure she does not favor, and that
she has nothing to fear so long as hel
foreign interests are in the hands oil
IN able and fearless man like james G.
Blaine. II 1t had fallen to Secretary
Bayard to do what Secretary Blaine
has done. and had no done 1t in the
same able manner, the Democratic
papers would have applauded him az

When we referred yesterday to the
lost and found bill in the Legislature
providing that the Board Of Health Of
this city should elect its own Secre-
tnry, and the peculiar circumstances
surrounding the disappearance and re-
appearance of thebill, we did not know
that other bills had been lost and
found in the same manner, though we
had our suspicious aroused and we
were fully prepared TO hear of other
bills being lost and mutilated. The
other lost bill that came to light was
one creating an additional notary pub
lie for Wilmington, to be located in the
Builders Exchange, and his services
were mot" to DO confined to that
building alone. The bill was offered
In the Senate and passed that body
without opposition. Head Il Company
were interested in the bill and wanted
John Craig, employed by the company,
appointed the notary provided for.
Mr.. Craig being Republican some
Democrats OF the rooster" kind OBJ
jected and wanted Thomas McCorkle,
a Democrat also employed in the com.
pany, appointed.
The bill went to the House and there
Mr.. Eisenbrey objected to it on ac-
count Of that little mot" being in it,
which gave the notary the power to go
anywhere and transact business, but
Notwithstanding Mr.. Eisenbreys OBJ
iections the bill passed. and was re-
ferred for enrolment. After it was ELL
rolled it was signed by both speakers
and returned to the Senate where 1t
started from, and thenit mysteriously
disappeared. Diligent search was
made, but it could not be found, and
W. f. Smalley, Esq, who had the bill
In charge, gave it up for lost and had
duplicate bill prepared to take
its place, Then, as in the case of the
lost Board OF Health bill, the lost bill
together with the enrolled copy made
their appearance and were found in
Speaker Donahoe's desk. The enrolled
bill was handed to Governor Reynolds
on Thursday to show his authority to
appoint a notary.
The Governor promptly appointed
Mr.. Craig but just then IL was dis
covered that the little word mot" had
been entirely obliterated by large
blot OF ink that'had fallen upon it.
William II. Lee was the enroller OF Tie
bill and had no doubt accidentally lei
fall q drop of ink, as the best of clerks
will do sometimes, and that blot OF
ink had accidentally fallen upon the
little word not. Though Mr., Lee is
not only secretary of the Board Of
Health which he has for the time
abandoned but he Ia also q notary pub
lie, facts which Enthusiastically pro
vido a motive for the lost bills and the
word mot" yet Mr.. Smalley says h,
does not think Mr.. Lee did the blot
ting. This is very charitable in Mr.
Bmalley but it is very doubtful II tn,
people who have been watching MIR
Lees course will DO rs charitable. 1
Mr.. Lee would come home and attenC
to his duties as secretary OF tile Boart
Of Health for which he is paid biz
salary there might possibly be les
