The removal of the Delaware river
islands is progressing slowly, but the
work cannot now be completed, says a
Philadelphia morning paper, at the

given the contractors, James A.
Mundy & Co., by the United States

other extension of time will be given
them, as the present contract expire

English Campaign Methods.

The English people are just now en-
gagged in the work of electing a new
Parliament, and they are going about
it in very hearty manner, as three in
cidents will show.
On Friday evening Mr.. Henry NJ .
Stanley, the eminent African explorer,
who is making a canvass in North
Lambert for u seat in Parliament, was
so jeered and jibed at a meeting of his
hOped-fOr constituents that he shed
tears Of anger and modification. His
wife, too, wept, and nearly tainted,
but, rousing herself she made an im-
passiOned appeal in behalf of her hus-
band, and finally obtained for him a
sort of hearing.
On the same evening, at meeting
in Coventry, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain,
who married our ex-Secretary of War
EndicOtt's daughter, and who is Ger
tainly an eminent Englishman, had a
cabbage head thrown at him while he
was speaking, and also other missiles,
and was so vOciferOusIy interrupted
that he was finally carried from the
platform to his carriage in half-faint-
ing condition.
Finally, on Saturday, while driving
through Chester, Mr.. Gladstone, who
is one of three or four most eminent
men in the world, was struck in the
eye by piece of hard gingerbread
thrown at him by a woman-a woman
mind yOu-and injured badly enough
to require the attention of physician, F.,
although he managed to go through
with his speech.
This goes ahead of anything of d
similar kind in this country. Oul
really eminent men of both parties cal
speak anywhere in the United Statei
without fear of being hit with cabbag,
heads or hard gingerbread.

him.
