A Disinterested Man Favors the w. q
n. q.
To tbs Editor Of the Evening Journal.
STA: / would respectfully ask that you
grant me a space in the colnmn of your
valuable paper TO express my views upon
the electric road bills now pending be-
fore the Legislature at Dover. These
measures having become widespread, and
an interesting subject for discussion, and
one that Is of great and vital Importance
70 the people and city Of New Castle
When the subject Of the New Castle
and Wilmington electric road was first
brought before the notice of the people
In the columns OF the EVENING JOURNAL,
it attracted but little attention outside
of this city, but was the subject of much
discussion among the citizens of New
Castle, and, as time drew near for the
Legislative body to convene, the air be-
came rife with rumors of other elec
trio bills to be presented before
that hody Now the question
which would naturally arise In the minds
Of the people is. 'Will the interests Of
New Castle be better served by outside
parties. who have no business interest or
welfare in the prosperity of our city, and
who largely represent the interest of
monopoly and corporations2 Do they
not wish only to serve their own selfish
INTEREST," On the other hand is it not
more natural and consistent TO suppose
that the representative citizens Of this
town, who are actuated by honest en-
deavor and unselhsh motives, TO devote
their energies to the public spirited
objects of this town. 1t Is Of very little
q .F rl..f
concessions the Legislature may grant TO
outside corporations so long as they do
not strike a blow at the interests of our
city
There is one thing certain, that the
strength OF public opinion in this town
is in favor of the New Castle anl VII.

the pressure brought TO bear by some OF

stockinr Ponds with Tlsh.

Most people are seemingly anxious to
secure good fishing TO themselves, which
is very natural, and win expend a large
sum in order to stock waters for private
use. Naturally they select waters which
are so situated that they can supervise
them, and therefore these waters are
generally confined or restricted. II is
reasonable to consider waters which are
so situated that the movements Of the
trout are hindered, to be in no sense SUI
perior to artificial ponds, and will in time
surely run out.
Ny idea is that general waters should
always be selected for continuous stock
ing. First fnd a good stream and test
its qualities, and afterward it should be
seasonably roplenished. A great deal Of
money is annually squandered in start
ing artificial ponds and confined streams,
which, if properly used, would have
given excellent returns. If you have
money to spend on fish culture do not
waste it, but invest in a proper stock
ing Of a good public stream, and keep
it up. You VIII in time find that
you are not obliged to pay out large
sums in railroad fare, and consequent
board at hotels in distant parts, if you
are judicious and persistent in stocking

Women Renew Thelr Youth.

1t is an extraordinary but incontesta-
BILE fact that some women at the age
when most people die undergo a sort Of
natural process Of rejuvenation the
hair and teeth grow again, the wrinkles
disappear from the skin, and sight and
hearing reacquiro their former sharp
ness. A Marquise de Marabeau is an
example Of this rare and remarkable
phenomenon. She died at the age Of
eighty-six, but few years before her
death she became in appearance quite
young again. The same change hap
pened to nun of the name of Mar
guorite Verdur, who at the age Of sixty
two lost her wrinkles. regained her sight
and grew several new teeth. When she
died, ten years later, her appearance was
almost that Of a young girl.-St. Louis

Disnbled with a carro OF brandy.

In 1880 the bark Rosina, with a cargo
of fine French brandy from Charente,
France, for this port, ran ashore in a
gale off the southern coast Of Long
Island. The crew threw overheard a
portion Of her cargo in an attempt to
tighten the ship, but she was finally
hauled of by q wrecking company,
which received $50, 600 salvage. For two
or three years afterward all the taverns
along the southern coast Of Long Island
sold fine French brandy at ten cents per
glass.-New York Evening Sun.

A MOOD.

All the world Is wrapped IN shadow;
All my thought Is STEPPED in erayi
Sweet and wanton sadness holds mo
And cnf0ld8 me,
As the arms Of night the day,
Sweet as pulsing OF spent music
When the hands have ceased to play.
Ger the sense a longing steaieth,
For what cause IL may not know;
AS when evening groweth tender,
And the splendor
OF the sunset burneth low,
O'or the land tho white mist silent
Stealeth through the afterglow.
Sad as slanting sunligS@falling
On the sails Of outbound ships;
Dear as memory that hovcrs
OF a lovers
Kiss on % woman's lips;
Soft cs when O thin cloud mantle
Folds the moon In white eclipse.
SO the sense Is STEPPED In longing,
AS the world Is wrapped in gray;
fTis SO much akin 20 sorrow
AS tho morrow
Holde,h thought Of yesterday.
'Tis, perchance, the soul immortal
sad because the heart Is clay.
