The tunnels of Steamers.

Few people have any idea Of the size of
the tunnels on the great ocean steamers
If you ask the first half dozen people yon
meet for their estimate it is not likely that
one of them will name figure one hall
the actual size. Most persons would say
that the diameter of the largest steamer
funnel is four to six feet and would want
to wager that it was not more than eight
feet. How far from the actual size such
guesses are may be understood when it Is
stated that the funnel OF the Etruria meas
ures little over eighteen feet in diane
ter. At even a short distance away this
can hardly be believed 1t gives an idea
of the enormous size of the big steamers
We have grown so accustomed to them
nowadays that we accept them as mat
ter of course. -Blakely Hall in Brooklyn

To Audit the Books.

In accordance with the provisions OF
the Five Commissioner act, Judge
Grubb yesterday appointed Andrew q.
Wilson, Henry Baird and Thomas Hol-
comb. Esq, committee OF auditors
to audit the accounts of the County
Treasurery and Comptroller. Section 23
under which the appointment was
made reads as follows:
THAT in the month of December In
each year 1t shall be the duty OF the
associate judge Of the Superior Court,
resident In the county OF New Castle,
to appoint committee OF three free
holders OF New Castle county, who
shall inspect the books and accounts
OF the county comptroller and receiver
OF taxes and county treasurer and
make report under oath to the said
judge, who shall cause the same to be
published once each week for three
weeks In two of the daily newspapers
OF the city OF Wilmington at the ex-
pense OF the county and the said com
mittee shall receive as compensation
for their service the sum OF s5 for
each day in which they shall be actual
ly in such duty"
All three OF tho gentlemen appoint
ed are well known In tho community
and are honored and respected bust
ness men, and their appointment re-
fleets tho highest credit upon Judge
Grubb. True, two OF them are Demo
Gratis and one Republican, but 1t had
to be thus to be non bipartisan from a
Democratic stand point. The time has
not come yet when a committee OF
three would be equally non partisan II
composed of two Republicans and one
Democrat.
Andrew G. Wilson is a member OF
the Harlan and Hollingsworth Com
pany and Is president OF the city De-
parttnent of Registration and Elec-
tions, and Is Democrat Inclined to re-
form.
Henry Baird Is cashier OF the Ma.
tlonal Bank OF Delaware, brother of
Charles finird, president OF the Board
OF Education. He Is Republican, but
never held en Office and is not an ac-
tive worker in the party.
Thomas Holcomb, Esq, is a Demo.
| crat OF decided views. He was mem.
ber of the Legislature OF 1871 and
speaker of the house, and since then
he has served two terms as Recorder
Of Deeds. lie is we'll qualified for the
office.
Mr.. Wilson. who is first named and
therefore chairman. has been notified
OF the appointments but he has not In.

OF the accounts will occupy much

MY IDEAL.

He must be dark and handsome
He must be tall and strong,
He must be brave and dashing,
He must not hate too long.
he must be kind and loving,
He must be strong and true,
He must be loyal in his love, -
Or else he will not do.
In friendship he's answering,
And has a social air,
Whether In war he's serving,
Or love, he must be fair.
A woman's face he should respect
Although ho does not love 1t,
And as for any cruel Jest,
Why he should be above It.
do not wish him too extreme
In any of his ways,
Should answer yes where'er he can
Be ecntle in his ways.
His mind should be alert and bright,
His heart be pure and free.
To labor, wait, command, obey,
He should do readily.
In fact, he must be all man, ......-
Be earnest, free and brave,
AS any who have ruled the land,
Or die the weak to save.
Wis true that my ideal Is high,
And / may never see him,
II had only boon a man,
I'd try, I'm sure, to be him.

The Terrible Camera.

The day cannot be far distant when IL
will become necessary for the lawmakers
Of the land to legislate against the camera
upon the same lines and upon the same
principle that it has already been found
necessary to legislate against the carrying
of concealed weapons There is always o
theory that the general good sense of the
community will regulate these things, and
very likely In the long run the good sense
OF the community-or the indifference oil
the community, which comes to the same
thing, by allowing a thing to slip out OF
sight Observation-Disclosures the function thu
optimistically allotted to il; but in the
meantime the irritation OF the nuisance de
mands some more speedy and drastic
remedy.
1t is the opinion of the editor, reached
after careful study of the situation, and
q temperate and dispassionate review
thereof, that for an amateur to be found
going about with an ordinary camera
should be made a misdemeanor punishable
by conilscasion of the instrument and \
fine to be regulated according to circum
stances To be found with n detcctiy,
camera should in an amateur be punished
by imprisonment for life; in professions,
by instant death. Could these precise but
mild laws be passed and rigidly enforced
there would be a very notable change in
the comfort and in the moral tone of the
community.
1t is Impossible that there should be any
high average of ethical feeling in the LAND
as long as the camera hend is daily and
hourly allowed to trample upon every feel
ing of individual liberty and freedom; and
unless something is done to check this rapid
ly growing evil, who knows whether civil
zation will be able even to last out the
eentury?-Boston Courier.
