The Music Of Silence.
When you leave the city and Zee away.
To rest in some country solitude,
II Is not TO hear the low brook play,
Or the woodbird's musical interluda
II IL n,t TO hear the fantastic strains
OF the symphony played oy the wind ca the
trees,
The hum OF insects. the patter Of rains,
For there Is a music more soft than thcsa
Go. stand on the crest OF a lonely hill
When the landscape lies IN sunset hush:
When man is absent and nature still,
And the west is bathed In a tender flush;
Let the notes OF silence arise and meet
And an your soul with their ecstacy.
With a silent music. soft and sweet
With grand and moving melody.

MIDDLETowE, Oct. 19.-Last evening,
at the regular meeting of The Cleveland
Democratic club in its headquarters in
McWhorter's Hall, Thomas Frame. Esq,
formerly of Middletown. but now of
Washington, made his maiden effort as
campaign orator. His speech, although
short was one that did him a credit, from
the manner in which he spoke of the un-
Just tariff issues of She Republican party
and the unfair Force bill. He requested
the large number of voters present to
see the condition of affairs as they now
are and TO go to the polls in November
next and cast their ballots for
tariff reform and Grover Cleveland.
After Mr.. Frame had concluded J. Harvey
Whiteman, Esq, of Wilmington, made a
lengthy address, which impressed his
many hearers as he told them of high
tariff, its faults; the unjust oppression Of
the American farmer, etc He afterwards
explained the Australian ballot system for
the benefit of those present, and Its
magnihcence in preventing the purchas-
ing of votes. He concluded by speaking
of the ruin which would be brought upon
the public schools, OF which TINS state
has some of the finest, by the Republi-
cans getting into power and allowing
negroes TO enter the schools with white
children.

About ECONOMY and wsnlth.

Five stalwart Hungarians yesterday
left Dobbnsville for their homes in
Europe. whence they came only about a
year ago When they left there the
crowned head instructions 10 them were
that they must come back within year
and enlist in their national army or be
deprived of Hungarian citizenship
This is what induced them to hurry
away from New Castle yesterday. The
men made, on an average, $2S per month
during their residence here and IL Is
actually believed that they saved $25
each month.
