1t is remarkable that nearly 80 per
cent of the total female population is
employed in remunerative occupa.
tions. In the last decade the percent.
age was only 2l.33 per cent of the
whole. Out of the eleven classes OF
occupations women have increased
comparatively in nine, viz: Govern
ment service, professional and domes.
tic service, trade, agriculture.
fisheries, manufactures and as
apprentices, while they have
decreased comparatively as laborers
and in personal service. In 1875 there
were nineteen branches of industry In
which women were not employed; in
1885 the number was reduced to sew.

Resemblance Between Husband and
Wife.

Resemblance Between Husband and
Wife.
II is by no means new theory that
a man and woman who have been
married a great many years grow to
resemble each other, not only in man.
ner and voice, but actually as to fea-
lures and expression. A recent num-
Der of the Illustrirte Welt has an
article on this subject, which states
that the Photographic association OF
Geneva has lately been investigating
the truth of this theory by the aid OF
the camera. The photographs of Is
elderly and very old married couples
were taken, and an equal number
of family groups. The result proved
quite satisfactorily to holders of this
theory, inasmuch rs in twenty.four
cases the resem blance between hus.
band and wife was much greater than
that between brother and sister, and
in thirty cases more it was fully as
great. The failure of the other
twenty.four old couples to realize the
expectations of those interested in
the matter is supposedly due to Gin
compatibility of disposition, which
time was apparently unable to COM
bat in it's effects.

The NAN with Many Faces.
Conference Chronicle.

lOuleIence CHRONICLE
In our last issue we charged that a
member of Wilmington Conference was
wearing too many faces; and, as it is
not our habit, as the manner OF some is,
to stab unsuspecting and probably inno-
cent brethren in the back, we will now
make our meaning clear. Whether it is
due to lack of pronounced individual
ity, or to his being many-sided we can
not tell; but the brother complained of,
owing to his adjustable countenance, has
been taken for several men Of the most
opposite appearance He may be
ashamed of it, but he has frequently
been called by the name of the editor Of
this paper; has been taken for several
other brethren in the Conference, for
two or three gentlemen in Baltimore,
and for the Rev. Andrew Manship. This
facility for personation may arise from
his name which connects the "Father of
his Country with one of the greatest
statesmen and most eloquent orators of
England. Our note on wearing many
faces brought us several letters from
persons who took it seriously; which
letters, while they amused us by their
gravity, nevertheless put us in serious
frame because they revealed certain
doings of which James would say, "My
brethren, these things ought not so to
be-"

oBJEcT1NG TO TIanT INDIANS.
Some Delaware Guardsmen Don't Like
the Prospects and Decline to Re-enIist.

the Prospects and Decline to Re-enIist.
A month or so ago when the three
years enlistment term of large num-
Der of the State militia elapsed and the
question of their re-enlistment arose
several of the soldiers refused Joining
again on the grounds that it was under
stood that they are liable to be called
upon for military service outside of the
State. Reference was made to the i'm
pending Indian troubles and several of
the men expressed themselves as averse
to field duty of that nature.
A telegraphic special of yesterday
from Mason City, Iowa, to New York
says: "The Sixth Regiment, Iowa Ma
tional Guards, the strongestin the state,
Col. Benton commanding, have been or
dered to hold themselves in readiness to
march to the frontier for service against
the indians"
Inquiry of one of the military author
tiles in this city elected the information
this morning that according to existing
Delaware law the State militia cannot
be ordered outside the State on military
duty. This law has been additionally
defined in a court-martial held here
last spring, when private of one of
tip wy was bGlOlC Il
court comprising General Armstrong,
Colonel j. G.. Hart and Captain E. l..
Rice, ,Ir., when the militiarhan was
cited on the grounds of refusing to
accompany his command on the occa-
sion of the State guard going to New
York to attend the celebrations in that
city at the time referred to. The cita-
ton was quashed and the soldier honor
ably discharged on the grounds that the
laws of the State do not upold the in
dictment.
The oath of enlistment and allegiance
in regard to the point raised of Della
ware guardsman is as follows:
- and | do solemnly swear Tor affirm
that will bear true faith and allegiance to
the State of Delaware and that will obey
the orders of the governor of the State of
Delaware, and the orders of the officers
appointed over me according to the laws of
the State Of Delaware
Signed. X.
1t is understood that during the com
ing session of the Legislature bill will
be introduced making certain changes
in the military laws which will consid-
erably alter their present status.

Judge Grubb, on Saturday, on the
application of Lavinia Price, appointed
a commission Of review to condemn the
bed of Sycamore street, from Clayton to

awarded $3.50, from which she appeals
as being insufficient. The commission
of review consists of John Pyle, D. j.
Mention, William Bowe, N. b. Culbert
and j. Parke Postles. The same gentle
men were also appointed a commission
of review on the property of Lewis
Bullock, Vandever avenue and Hutton
street, which projects over the building
line of both thoroughfares. A previous
commission awarded Mr.. Bullock
$S,450, to which the city objected as
excessive, and asked for the commission
of review on Saturday.

POST oFFICE REpoRr.
Postmaster Daniel II. Stewart Show
Great Increase in Department Wor

Postmaster Daniel II. Stewart Shows n
Great Increase in Department Work.
A report is being prepared by Post
master Daniel f. Stewart in regard to
the increase of business at the post-ofiice
in this city during the past 10 years.
In that time there has been no increase
in the clerical force.
In the year just closed the number of
letters and packages handled by the de-
partment was 5,692,094, an actual gain
Of 3,744,224 pieces. In 1880 the post
master asked for an increase of his cler-
ical force for the reason that the work
put upon the men was so greatly in ex-
cess of fair work.
During the year ending June Both,
1880, the number of pieces of mail mat
ter handled by 10 carriers was ,948,S70
During the year ending June Both, 1890,
10 carriers, an increase of nine men,
handled 4,200,815 pieces of mail matter.
In 1885 the carrier force was increased
to 10 men, and in 1856 to Is men.
In 1888 the postage gross receipts
$50, 1894. In 1890 the sum of $685.
699.S1 was secured on the same account.
In December, 1889, 431 ASP pieces of
mail matter were collected and dis
tributed in this city. For the month Of
December, 1890, the month just closed.
the report shows that 512,32 pieces of
mail were handled, an increase of S0,S68
pieces of mail matter.
The gross receipts for December, 1890,
show an increase of so per cent over the
preceding month.

Plenty of Work for the Legislative Divorce
Mill During the Coming Session.


Despite the facilities afforded by the
courts, many of those who desire to
break the bonds of matrimony when
they become too CALLING for longer en-
durance, prefer to make their applica-
ton to the legislature. The dissolving
tie of the latter body is Just as binding
as the courts decree, and although the
proceedings are more public the pro-
cess is said to be more economical, the
services of an attorney frequently being
dispensed with when the free assistance
of willing friends can be secured.
The session bids fair to be as
prolific in divorce business as any of its
predecessors. The following are those
from this city who have already adver-
tised, as required by law, their intention
of asking the Legislature to divorce
them from the bonds Of matrimony:

THE REE. DR. DoBBISs.


The quarterly conference of State
Street NJ. Il. Church, Trenton, recently
unanimously adopted the following con-
corning the Rev. DIR. John Y. Dobbins,
who has accepted an invitation to be-
come pastor of Grace Church next con-
ference year:
The official board Of the State Street
Methodist Episcopal Church, in view of
the communication of our beloved pastor,
the Rev. John Y !. Dobbins announcing his
desire to close his pastorate here and accept
a call to another field Of labor, wish i'll a
formal way to express their feeling in the
severance of relation that has been so
dear to us as a church.
We desire first to put on record our APP
probation of the character that has been
lived before us during these three years of
Brother Dobbins pastorate, as well as the
three years of his previous pastorate, and
to bear testimony to the sympathy, the
earnestness and the many graces OF a
Christian life that have made his presence
among us an example of the life the
Master has commanded us all to live, and
have shown us the possibility of living
such life. And we desire not only to
express i'll this manner our apprecia-
ton of his character, in its passive in
fluence on ourselves but to acknowledge
the help in Christian living that has come
from his wise and tender personal counsels.
We desire again to recognize the insplra-
ton and instruction that have come to us
through his clear, forcible, conscientious
and fearless pulpit utterances. We trust
that the gifts of persuasive oratory With
which the Creator has endowed our
brother, and which have been used so
signally for the advancement of Christ's
kingdom in this field. may receive a yet
fuller baptism in the years to come as he
goes away from lis in the Masters work.
We recognize again the influence of his
pastoral work in our homes of his loving
interest in our SORROWS, his sympathy in
our perplexities his words of prayer in our
sick chambers and by the side Of our dead.
We. feel that we are emphatically parting
with a pastor.
We desire finally to express our sense of
Gods goodness shown in the advanced
condition of our church, in point of num-
bers, finance, spirituality and power, which
have, under the divine blessing, been the
outcome of Brother Dobbins' labors with
lis.
We bid our brother God speed in his
new work, and in thus parting with one
who has cndeared himself to us in so sig
nal measure, we pray the Great Head of
the Church to spare him long to his
family and to the work of the church
militant, to watch in loving care over his
loved ones and to grant hereafter joyful
reunion of pastor and people in the church
triumphant, (which is without spot be-
fore the throne of God"
