A Tugboat Party OF wilmingt onians Sail
Down New York Bay and Say GOOD

A Tugboat Party OF wilmingtoniansS Sail
Down New York Bay and Say GOOD
Bye" to Commander Harrington.
The cruiser Yorktown of the White
Squadron left Staten Island Saturday
en- route for the Pacific. She flies the
pennant of Commander p. F. Harrington
of this city.
On Friday party of wilmingtonians,
comprising Colonel William La Motto,
Ferdinand Gilpin, William T. Porter, Pres
ton Lea and Superintendent Brooks of the
Maryland division, p, w. & B. railroad,
took a tug at Jersey City and steamed
down the bay to the Yorktown's moor
ings, opposite Governors Island, where
the vessel was taking powder aboard. The
mission of these gentlemen was to bid
-, nbou voyage" t9the Delaware captain of
msnder Harrington in the best of spirits
and delighted with the prospects of active
duty. The visitors were shown all over
the handsome war vessel. They pronounce
her a beauty.
Austin Harrington and Mrs. Harrington
spent the whole of the previous day aboard
the Yorktown. As stated. she sailed
Saturday for the West Indies. She will
touch first at Barbados, where she will
probably coal. Her next stopping place is
Rio de ganeiro. She will then steam south
for o long voyage, passing through the
Straits Of Magellan, then north, when she
will put in at Valparaiso. Then running
still north she will drop in at Callao to see
how matters are going along with the
Peruvians. Her ultimate destiny is the
Hawaiian Islands, at which station the
Yorktown relieves the cruiser Boston. The
Yorktown's commission is for three years.
In IA months, however, Commander Har-
rington receives his rank as naval captain,
when he may return to shore duty or some
other promotion.

MYNEW HOME ON THE DELAWARE



II Is true that am happy,
In my cherished home,
And solid reasons can give,
never feel alone.
The water that we daily drink
Is perfect, bright aud pure,
And the air NO always breathe
Hath matchless power to euro.
The East and West, the North and South
Are open to our view,
And brilliant castles built CT clouds
High arched, in azure blue!
Look now upon that noble stream,
Hcw grandiy flowing near;
1t bears in ships the wealth Of man,
Ten thousand freights year
How long the time, majestic river,
Hath poured thy waters to the sea-
PerchHnce million ages
Or more that time may be.
My age will soon be eighty years,
Since FIRST walkod'the eurth;
Yet little can know OF thee
Till past my second birth.
thank Thee, great Creator,
For blessings evermore;
And for the certain knowledge
They are an endless store.

A medicine that has been household

that time by more than 150, 900, 900 persons
must have great merit. Such medicine is
found in Bfandreth's Pills. This fact dem
onstrates the value Of these pills better than
any statement of the proprietors. 1t will be
observed that the dose required to cure is
small. One or two pills taken every night
for ten or twenty days will cure dyspepsia,

an impure state of the blood. Brandreth's

superstitIons of Brave People.

II one will take the trouble to go
through the names of most of the
bravest people in history, he will find
that they nearly all suffered from some
superstition or other. Napoleon Bona
parte was simply eaten by superstl'
tons, and so was the duke of MARI
borough. Literary men have always
been VIGOROUSLY superstitious, from
the days of DIR. johnson, who would go
back half mile if he remembered that
he had omitted to touch any one OF
the lampposts on his daily walk, to
Dean Swift, who would never change
garment if he found that he had
put it on inside out, and Lord Byron,
who would get up and leave a dinner
party instantly if anybody split the
salt. Statesmen have not been eX.
empt from superstitions either. Lord
Beaconsfeld would always take espe-
cial care to enter the house with his
right foot foremost when he was going
to make a big speech. Mr.. Parnell had
strong prejudice against sitting in q
room with three candles. William Pitt
would return home at once, however
important his business, if he met
cross-eyed man in the street, while Sir
Robert Peel would always make the
sign against the evil eye with his nm
gers and thumb under similar circum-
stances.

your life beheld the full face of our
'silvery sister world" BY way of solu-
ton let us see what it takes to consti-
tute a full moon in the exact sense of
the term. A full moon occurs only
when our obsequious attendant is one
hundred and eighty degrees of longi-
tude from the sun, Old Sol and the
earth being in the ecliptic. But the
moons orbit is inclined to the ecliptic
at an angle of five degrees eight min
utes torty-seven seconds, and is there
fore never on the ecliptic except when
at it's modes" or crossings.
This being the case, what we call
the circular disk of the moon full
noon lacks considerable of being an
exact circle, being what astrono-
mers term ''in state of globosity,"
and is never a perfect disk except
when "a full moon" happens exactly
as the time when Luna is crossing the
cell ptic, at which time she must neces-
sarily be centrally eclipted. One of our
best present day astronomers, in con-
Guiding an article of much merit on
the same subject, says: 1--WE therefore
conclude that real full moon, one
having a perfect circle, has rarely, if
ever, been seen"

WOODEN MONEY IN ENGLAND.

England Was Established.
Wooden money, in the shape of ex-
chequer tallies, was, prior to the es-
tablishment of the Bank of England
in 1894, current in the country named.
Tallies was the name given to the
notched sticks formerly in use in Eng
land for keeping the accounts in the
exchequer. They are described by
Tid-Bits as square rods of hazel or will
low, inscribed on one side with notches
indicating the sum for which the tally
was an acknowledgment, and on two
other sides with the same sum in
Roman characters. When the trans
action was completed, the tally record
ing it was split lengthwise, so that
each section conta ined half of each
notch and one of the written sides.
One-half, called the tally or check, was
given to the person for whose service
it was intended the other half, called
the counter tally, was retained in the
exchequer until its corresponding tally
should be brought in by the person

thus became a current token repre-

of the Bank of England government
payments were made through its
agency. The use of tallies in the ex'
chequer was abolished by statute %,

acts and 5, William w., ordered to
be destroyed, and it was the burning
of them that caused the confiagration
by which the old houses of parliament
were demolished.
