A Hard Corner.

The age Of 80 is a hard corner for a woman
to turn, and IS is still harder, She feels that
she is fast leaving her youth behind her
But there IS no reason why a woman should
be faded and basse at IS, or at As. The chief
cause Of the early fading of American women
is found in the fact tnat many Of them suf
fer from some form of female weakness or
disease which robs the face of its bloom,
draws dark circles about the eyes, brings
early wrinkles and sallowuess, and stamps
the face and figure with signs of ill-health,
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will cure
all these troubles, will bring back the lost
bloom, and remove the pains and ailments
which make women grow old before their
time. Guaranteed to give satisfaction in
every case, OF price (SI.oo) refunded.

The Democrats in the last Congress spent
a goodly portion of their time in denouneing
the code ofrules adopted by the Republicans
ofthe House. particularly that portion oi
them which curtailed the privilege of the
majority to 6llibuster indefinitely, and now
they have incorporated in the rules they
have prepared for the present House pre-
cisely the same idea, the only difference
being that they delegate the authority to
close debate to the committee on Rules, in
stead of to the Speaker. That some such
rule is, and has been necessary, in order to
allow the majority of the House to control
every fair-ninded man familiar with con
gressional proceedings will coucede' and in
following the lead of the Republicans the
Democrats have only done what they always
do. They denounce everything originated
by Republicans, ann afterwards adopt the
very things denounced as their own.

orr criminal law needs a new bottom
in it. It is so arranged now that the
burthen of the proof rests upo0 the
plaintiff. If a thief or robber has in his
possession property similar to that which
the. plaintiff has lost, and the evidence
clearly points the defendant as the thiei,
vet, if the defendant cannot identify his
goods by a private mark, or make oath
that they are the idantical goods he has
lost the State claims that the plaintiff has
not sustained his case. Now it strikes
any sensible person, that the defendant
should be compelled to give an account
of how he came by the property, and if
he can not show a clear title to it,
which he certainly could do if he be in
uocent-he should be held to be guilty.
A c ase of this kind occurred at the last
term of the Kent county court, which
grew out of the robbery of Humes' hard
ware store by the Lewis boys Of Milford.
Another thing that operates against pun
ishing petty thieves, is the expense and
inconvenience attached to the prosecu-
tian Of such cases. If the ability of our
,stices-of-the-Pence generally was such
9aat they could have the right to hear
aud pass judgment on all petty larceny
eases, the law aud punishment provided
for such cases would be more vigorously
enforced. Certainly the criminal law Of
Delaware needs reforming as we'll as the
Constitution, which we have Outgrown.
