Governor Reynolds cho,ac has fallen
where it was,expected to fall, and Mr..
Wolcott has accepted the call to the
chancellorship. This settles the uncer-
tainty which had given birth within two
or three days past to such vagueness
and diversity of rumcr regarding the
succession to this important post. The
appointment will, we think, be received
as in the main good one. Mr.. Moleott
is lawyer Of established reputation, in
the very prime OF vigorous manhood,
endowed with good Judgment, a
perceptive, receptive and analyti-
cal mind and plenty of the pluck
which carried him so quickly from
the position of farm boy to
a front place at the bar of his county
and in the politics OF his State. He has
been a strong party nan-one Of his
energy, his surroundings and his apti-
tude for leadership could hardly be any
thing else in the atmosphere Of Dover
and it is very probable that, like other
young and ambitious politicians, he has
sometimes resorted 10 sharp practice to
circumvent willy foe-but we do not
believe that Chancellor Wolcott will be
any the less conscientlously the impair
tial 1urist because Of tho political train
ing which he has gone through. Per-
sonally Mr.. Wolcott has always been a
man of good habits, temperate, studious,
clear-headed, and deservedly popular
among his follow townsmen. We see
no reason why he should not achieve
and long maintain an honored place
among the Delawareans who have been
called to tho bench.

Late last night he became quieter and

Holmes was burned about the face and

WHY should we wear mourning, asks
Mrs. Blake in the North -Anae7icdn Re
UieaU. The response should be ''there is
no sufficient reason" unless we wish to
advertise our woe. True. it to a certain
extent commands behavior in our pres
ence, but we agree with Mrs. Blake that
''the custom is outworn; it is an anachron-
ism in the nineteenth century. 1t is I'M
christian; it clouds the spiritual signif-
canoe of the resurrection with the ever
present expression of temporal loss. 1t
is cruel; it forces helpless and innocent
people into action which entails priva-
ton and unnecessary suffering. 1t is I'M
truthful it makes false outward show OF
changes in sentiment. And it is essen
tally vulgar; for it presses private
affairs upon public notice; it thrusts
claims of fashion and frivolty upon q
time which greatly moves the nights
and depths of being; and it forces its
superficial worldliness into the fiercest
throes which can ever rend human ma
ture.D

the Cars Improving.
George Smith. the fisherman who had
his leg crushed by the cars on Monday
and amputated at the Receiving Hos
pital, will be removed to the Ridge Home
this morning.
The bandage was removed from his
limb yesterday and the wound dressed
by the City Physician, who says the man
is doing remarkably well and will doubt
less survive the loss of his limb.
Smith yesterday afternoon talked con-
siderable for the first time since his acct
dent, and his head seemed perfectly clear.
To RECORD UNION reporter he stated
that he did not remember the circum-
stance of the accident (as he calls it,, and
had no desire to kill himself. He had
bought a ticket for the circus, and thinks
now he must have started for the electric
cars, but had been drinking, and when
he saw the switch engine ran for it.
He said he landed at Castle Garden
from England in 1864, and came to Cali
fornia in 1868. He has no relatives in
this country. He did not know until
yesterday that his leg had been ampu-
tated, and the poor man said, sadly: Il
may recover all right, but my leg is
gone"
Since recovering his senses he has
borne his suffering manfully, and pa
tiently stood the dressing Of his wound
without murmur.
