opening dance of the season of the Ben
Venue Club on next Friday evening. The
young ladies are taking particular pains to
have this event an agreeable one, as the
club has acquired a reputation for having
thoroughly enjoyable evenings. though the
door is promptly shut upon any unfortunate
man who ventures near. This club has been
in existence for couple OF years, the dances
being given at the houses of the members
once fortnight. Several visitors will be
present on Friday evening, and the small
sisters of the members have promised to do
their guests honor by displaying their skill

A TRusT rs sAcREn.

The state funds are manifestly trust
funds; they are entrusted to the safe
keeping of treasurer subject to imme-
date demand.
1t is not debstsble question whether
trust funds should be used for tho pri-
vste gain or private speculation Of the
Trustee
1t is wrong legally and morally.
A trustee assumes two risks In deciding
otherwise; his reputation as a careful
and honest trustee, and the safety of the
funds.
That all of our contemporaries hold
very hazy views on this subject is evil
dent from their treatment of ex
Treasurer HeIbert's case rather from
misplaced sympathy for him than for the
poi'tical party which elevated him, his
friends, his family and his personal rep
utatlon-the real sufferers.

Five years afterward the gentleman spent

Some Americans who were recently going
through the Jardine des Plantes OF Paris
stopped to look at big rattlesnake in a
cage. 1t lay motionless, apparently asleep,
but when two Of the party, who had lin
gered behind, began TO converse in En-
glish the snake moved, lifted up its head
and gave every sign of being intensely in
terested. They FASTENED to tell their com
panions that the snake understood En-
glish. The whole party then returned to
the cage. The snake was apparently
asleep again.
They conversed loudlyin French. but the
snake did not give the least sign of being
conscious of his surroundings; then some
one spoke in English. Instantly the rep
tile raised his head and moved it back and
forth, showing the same alertness that he
had when the language was spoken in his
hearing a few moments before. This curl
Gus experiment was tried a number of
times, always with the same effect. On
inquiry the party learned that the snake

There's beautiful face in the silent air
Which follows me ever and near,
with smiling eyes and amber hair,
With yoiceless lips yet with breath OF prayea
That feel but cannot hear.
The dimplad hand and ringlet OF gold
Lie low In "a marble sleep;
stretch my hand for a clasp of old,
But the empty air is strangely cold,
And my vigil alone / keep.
Ihere 80 sinless brow with radiant crown,
And cross laid down in the dust;
There's smile where never shade comes
now,
And tears no more from those doar eyes flow,
SO sweet in their innocent trust.
An, well! And summer is come again,
Singing her same old song
But Oh, II sounds like sob of paia,
As 10 floats in the sunshine and tho rain
Ger the hearts of the worlds great

There's beautiful region above the skies.
And long TO reach its shore;
For know shall find my treasure there,

FoR TAe PuaLlc coon.

There is an abundance of hard wo-k
before the legislature
Senator Ecuston has a registration
law which should cone up for thorough
aud careful consideration. The purity of
the ballot must be preserved. In it lies
the safety. the pres rvation Of our free
institutions. In considering that sub.
ject, there are two other bills which
belong to it in a group of three. all
necessary and all commendable, and all
tending to secure the rule OF the inteni-
gent, honest and patriotic people of
Delaware, TO tho exclusion OF the
lgnorant, dishonest and venal imported
voters from neighboring commonwealth
The bills relate to the education OF the
colored peopls-Senator Ross's bill-to
gistration-senator Houston's billiard
and on the method Of voting-several
bills. These are kindred measures and
whether considered separstely or collec-
lively, they should be acted upon With
out delay.
Senator Ross's bill would provide a
state superintendent for free schools. as
well as county superintendent, free text
books for white and black scholars and
aid for colored schools. The state super.
iutendent Of free schools acts as actuary
lin effec } to colored schools. The Repub.
licans have had the actuary and It is to
their interest to keep the negroes in
ignorance Senator Ross says 'the only
way to make a good citizen OF the negro
Is to educate him. We have him with us
we must make provisions for him. His bill
increases the allowance to negro schools
from So. QUO to $40 600, a thing that the
Republican Legislature refused to do two
years ago.
This group OF bills should be considered
not in the interest Of sentimental and
impracticable refOrmers. We have had too
much Of their abortive efforts at reform.
they should be considered democratically
because Democracy grows from the
people and is Tor the benefit Of the people.
Just as the members Of the Methodist.
Baptist, Presbyterian, Episcopal aud
Roman Catholic all consider their
churches, their doctrines and practices the
right doctrines and practices, and strive
with the utmost vlgor and devotion to
bring sll classes Of people under their
influence, just so the Democrats Of the
Legislature should strive TO bring this
state and these counties thoroughly under
Democratic control Democracy Is the
synonym Of honesty and patriotism. The
Democratic party is the Oldest largest.
proudest, purest political party
that ever existed and its
principles are founded on right
and justice. Hence Democracy is what
the people want Those who struggle
for something more or something less
than Democracy work for their own sell
hsh ends-not for the good Of the people.
Besides these measures there are Judge
Balls Convict Labor bill, the Constitu
tional Convention bill, the Five Commits.
sioners bills for New Castle and Sussex
counties, all of which deserve the same
sol tof studious, intelligent and favorable
attention.
