Didn't Like Being a Gentleman.

Among Captain r. w Eastwick's rec
objections are some of Col. WELLESLEY, af-
terwaTd wOrld-renOwned as the duke of
Welllgton, who told him astOry of a ser
geant in Wellesley's regiment. After tn e
declaration of war with France, and when
an invasion of England was feared, many
volunteer regiments were raised, and
this sergeant was selected to drill one of
them. Later, through the influence of
an officer in the regiment, he received a
| cadetship in the Bengal forces.
The sergeant went to India, but being
quite unaccustomed to mingle with gen
tlemen, soon found himself out of place
Some time afterward he heard that his
old commander, Colonel Weslesley, was
in Calcutta. He obtained leave of alb
sence and fastened to the city, where he
called upon the colonel and explained
his uncomfortable position
"Sir," he said, am tired of being a
gentlemar, and desire to be degraded
back to my former post-in fact, to be-
a sergeant in the Thirty-third again
! would be promotion to me"
Colonel Wellesley was glad to have so
capable man in the service, but felt in
honor bound to demonstrate with him
for so mistallng his own interest.
"You have attained the position of a
gentleman" he said, 'and should strive
to become worthy of it, He advised
him therefore to return to his duties.
The sergeant would not listen to him.
Saving your presence, SIR" he de-
clered, ga gentleman is mighty poor
thing to be. 1t is like being under con-
tinual arrest. A man may not do that
which he desires, that which comes nat
ural to him, but must always be think
ing of his behavior, and whether what he
does is in accordance with his station. l
would sooner be a private in the line,
and master of my own actions when off
duty than colonel of the regiment and
pestered with trying to act the gentle
man.
The man returned to his old place in
Colonel Wellesley's regiment.

WE publish on our first page, the
first of several letters bearing on the
difficulties of the late Rev. T. o.
Ayres with his fellow ministers, said
mental perplexities caused by what he
considered unfair treatment, hasten
ing his death, or so it is believed by
his friends, strengthened by the testi-
mony of his physicians. The letters
are forwarded to US by his son, Har-
wood, who assumes all responsibility.
They were prepared in the main by
the deceased in August, '9I, for publi-
cation, but withheld for a certain rea-
son, until his purpose was cut short by
his fatal illness. This is matter
which in a certain measure belongs
to the past, and we hesitated to take
1t up, but if vindication is necessary,
the claim comes to the TIMES with
more force than any other paper, for
the deceased went out from among us,
and his remains, after his untimely
death, were brought back and laid to
rest in our cemetery. If anything was
done that left on him a stigma or re-
prOach, it is the right of his friends to
have his memory relieved of such i'm
putation: if there were unkind or
wicked personal feelings in the ranks
of his associates in the ministry, it is
right to probe, uncover and expose
them to the light, so the body minis
isterial may go through the process of
healing.

WHETHER from any popularity of
the season or not, we do not know, but
there is evidently more depradations
on grain from insects, than noted in
any preceding year. Accounts have
reached us in the daily papers, of
great despoiling of wheat in many
sections of the West, by the weevil.
This section has had its share, and
much wheat has been destroyed by
this insect. We have still another, an
enemy to corn, new insect to US, but
as indicated by Mr.. ]. G. Stockly in
our local columns, very bad one.
Some of our farmers, not suspecting
such a thing. may not be aware of the
damage that is being done IN their own
cribs. They may do well to read Mr..
Stockly's description of its methods
carefully, and apply the remedy he
suggests for the preservation of their
crops 1t is likely our Experimental
Station at Newark will give this in
sect their careful attention, but in the
absence of any report from it, Mr..
Stockly has availed himself of the
information given out by the Mary
land Agricultural Station.

renewal happens, in warm climates as

fewer brOOds here. The tUheat grains

stroyed, and piles of wheat need the

material is cheap-costing less than 10
cents per pound in larger quantities
and can be had at the drug stores. It
Is not poisonous or inflammable. and
the only care necessary is not to grind
the balls up when shelling, and to fan

One pound Of Naptha balls is plenty

Vote Buying.

Rev. Mr.. Wilson preached SUNDAY
evening on the subject of venal cleo
tions-corrupting the ballot bv vote
buying and other methods resorted to
by politicians to influence elections.
he took for his text the act of Judas.
IN selling his Master for thirty pieces
OF silver, instancing number of other
cases of personal cupidity in bible his
tory, drawing parallel between them
and the wrongful methods of politio-
lans OF to-day, in securing party advan-
tage and success. All such efforts
were against the spirit of popular gov.
ernment, because the popular will was
sought to be subverted by money. and
was corrupting and debauching to
public morals. In localzing the ex-
tent and prevalence of political corruD-
tiOn, be said the hundred above ne
(Blackbirdl he was informed, had 90
purchasable men or foaters, out of 800
voters, one quarter of the whole ballot.
and in this hundred, 100 out of 800. or
one quarter. He instanced a section
OF New York City, where the most of
the voters made a merchandise of their
franchise, and placed the general ave.
rage throughout the country at 85 per
cent.
The greater the vice and moral de-
graduation, the greater the venalitv.
and a man who had made statistical
study among drinking men, found in
his investigation that 700 out of 1000
of them would sell their votes. Moth
ing better than this was to be expect
ed of man who would maltreat his
family and rob his children of bread
and clothing.
The habit of cOrrupting the franchise
while cebauching to the morals, was
dangerous to our institutions and
should be combated by every good
citizen. All such laws could be evaded
by designing men, but law furnishing
the offenders could and should be
made. The law was so strict in Eng.
land, that, if it was shown a member
had been elected to Parliament by
purchased votes, he would be unseated.
The speaker said he wasn't much of
lawyer, but he felt he could frame a
law that would strike a death blow at
the evil-that he would disfranchise
both the man who offered and the
man who accepted money or its equiv
alent for his vote, for the rest of their
lives.

The TAYLOR Shons Sold.

The machine shops of the late firm
of Geo. w. & S. Taylor Co., which
have been awaiting a purchaser by
the Trustees the past three years, were
sold at public sale on Thursday last

the use of Henry d. Boyer, at the fig

etc, were previously sold and mostly
purchased by E. L. Jones of Dover. Il

low, somewhere near $1,000, but a
spirited contest between local BUYERS.
for business use, ran it up to the above
figures, though this is much below
what the Messrs. Taylors held it at.
The trustees had previously sold ten
feet of the north side, including a
brick office attached to the building, to
DR.. Moore, whose property it adjoined,
for 1915.
This Is the very best property in the
state in convenience and expansive
ness, for the purpose is designed-ag-
ricultural machinery. The partition
which now separates the present Office
and warerOOm, is to be removed,
and the whole fitted up for a
store for seed and hardware. In
the centre of this will be constructed
an Office from which the salesman will
have the whole room in view. The
larger room, where the heavy machin-
cry stood, and which has been used
recently for a blacksmith shop, IS to
have new floor. ceiling sheathed and
otherwise made adaptable for wheel
and other machinery. The foundry
at the rear of the property is to be
used for the blacksmith shop, aud will
make an ample room. The old cupola
is now being removed and two forges
will soon be constructed for immediate
use. The old shops for wood work at
the rear of the large brick building.
will be removed or torn down, and ia
new wheelwrightshop erected at theside
of the foundry. 1t will thus be seen
Mr.. Boyer, who has occupied the lar
ger part of the property for the past
three years, has plans and purposes
that will utilize it more fully than has
been the case since when the wheels
turned its former massive machinery.

This is our last issue before the
Presidential battle shall be fought, the
die cast, the victory won for the COM
ing four years. The lines are tightly
drawn and no one can tell how the
contest will end, and hence, both sides
are claiming the victory in advance.
The change from the old to the new
method will make voting much more
pleasant to all VINO do not like the
personal influence of politicians and a
pushing crowd.
The voting this year, for the first
time in this state, will be under the
provisions of the secret ballot law,
which is based upon the Australian
system. The voting will be a very
easy and simple matter, while the con-
ditions that surround the art of voting
the quiet, we'll guarded polling place
the private booth where the voter pre-
pares his ballot, and the complete
arrangements for facilitating the prog
ress of the vote-make it a much
pleasanter operation than under the
old system.

the dedication of Cheswold M. E..
Church, quite a number OF whips were

zen of our town has been secretly act
ing as detective, and has succeeded
in finding both the whips and the
| thieves. Five of them were found in
the possession of a young man in Ray
mOnd's Neck, from whose appearance
and the team he drives, no one would
take him to be thief. Another man
was found in the neighb0rhood of
| Central Church. Some of our citizens
think the time is not far distant when
the thieving business in this cOmmun-
ity will be brought to an end by some
one hugging the Dover whipping

invited to partake of mince pies, pump
kin custards, coffee, apples and nuts.
One of the pranks which several of
the young men played on the girls,
was to get an entrance into the back
OF the house, by one of them climbing
over the high fence, and unbolting the
gate, and hooking" the lot of pies
that had been prepared for the refresh
ment table, reappearing with thom at

they had got them at Mrs. BOehmler's.

caused his horse Ia very gentle one.
used by all the members of his family
to squirt up. He caught up the reins
with pull no more than be could
exercise with his two fingers, when the
bit parted in the animals mouth. The
horse started with accelerated speed.
and there he had to sit, helpless as he
said, like duck in the rain" and
takes the consequences. Unable to
guide the animal in the least, in turn
ing from this road to another, the
wheel struck telegraph pole, throw
ing Mr.. Weldon by the sudden concus.
sion TO the opposite side of the road.
The fall was heavy one, but he soon
regained consciousness, and gathering
himself up in a half dazed condition,
started to walk, and did so to the
Bingham House, by which time he
found himself both sick and faint.
DIR. HarmOnson was callen, and after
preparing him for an examination,
found the shoulder was dislocated and
reduced it, the operation necessarily a
painful one to the patient. He was
considerably battered and bruised
otherwise, and was only thankful it
wasn't his neck. He was able to be
out yesterday, but was feeling the
effect of the shock. 1t is the first
time, he said, he was ever knocked out
in the first round.
