on ''The Work of the PASTOR will go right
to the heart of every minister who has
honestly tried to do pastoral work as it
should be done. The man who wrote that
lecture has a true, sympathetic nature,
and has put his heart and his conscience

teryiews he will find that his party was
equally guilty with their political op-
ponents fact which he and every
Democratic editor in the State proceed
ed at once to forget. He knows of tile
bribery at the Kent county Democratic
primaries that year and he knows that
his party friends this year spent all the
money in Kent and Sussex at the cleo
tion which they could command, and
yet he proceeds to forget it all in what
the Morning News calls his hypocrisy
in reform.
We would much rather not write the
above not because we do not believe
every syllable and word of it true bnt
because it is not pleasant to write un-
pleasant things. But as we stated in
the beginning Of this articleInot a DEM
ocratic editor in the State raises his
voice against the political rascality
within his own party. 1t is mistake
and we believe some day many Of our
brethren of the quill will regret that
they have not stood for the right and
honest and fair elections by all parties.
Alas! not one Of them does it.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

Representative Eliason, of st. Georges
hundred has voted with the Dickey men in
all the votes SO far in the Cheairs-D Dickey
contest
There are several Delaware Democrats
who would like to see Col. DUPONT seated
in the Senate. There will be others after
the factionai fight at Dover ends. And it
may be they will see it, The case of Col.
DUPONT is being pushed at Washington.
The caucus for State Treasurer and
State Auditor will be held on Monday
night at the same time with The senatorial
caucus. DIR. Lewis seeks reelection as
auditor. There are several who desire to
succeed State Treasurer Adkins among
those most favorably considered being
John N. Carswell who was defeated for Re
ceiver of Taxes in this county Nov. Sd.
James G. Shaw, Daniel Mifflin wills on,
and Daniel ]. Fooks, the electors chosen in
this State last November, met at Dover on
Monday and formally cast the vote for Nc
Kinley and Hobart. Mr.. Wilson was ap-
pointed to deposit the vote with the speaker
of the Senate. The casting of this vote is
due to the patriotism, loyalty and spirit of
compromise shown by the ''star" Re-
publicans of Delaware.

On the evening of January 9Th, several
Knights of the Round Table, residing in
Wilmington, had the pleasure of hearing
General J. B. Gordon deliver his famous
lecture, "The Last Days of the Confede-
racy."
In the course Of his lecture, General Cor
don declared that taking given line, the
battle of Spotsylvania Court House, was
not only the bloodiest of the civil war, but
of any war known to man.. A roll of mus
kerry was kept up for twenty hours, a thing
unparalleled in the history of war.
No teacher can afford to pass her even
ings in mere pleasure. This is the season
of the year for the best work. The first
thing after supper to engage teachers at
tention should be her school work for the
next day. The best teachers never go into
the school room without preparation. If
you read portion of Scripture at the open
ing of school, you should make your selec-
tion beforehand. The teacher who is salts
fed with short psalm, the contents of
which perhaps she does not know, is not
wise.
After the preparation for the following
day has been made the teacher should turn
her mind to some useful reading. The
teacher needs to be well informed, and as
she is more:orlIess isolated from news centers
and well informed associates. she ought to
spend much of her time in reading good
books. Nor should she read promiscuously.
There must be regularity about everything
the teacher does.
The Teachers Tool chest" little cata-
logue, published by G. W. Bardeen, Syra
cuse, N. Y, will be of help to the teacher
who desires to read Systematically along
educational lines.

A rRAyELER,s IouRNEY.

A traveller left Popocatepetl (Somking
Mountain Of Mexico) which is is solfatara
or volcanic vent, from which sulphur,
sulphureous, watery, acid vapors and gases
are emitted; and passed through, Central
America, a country which has more vol
canoes in proportion to its area than any
part of the world.
He came to the Isthmus of Panama where
they were building the Panama Ship Canal,
and going down to the sea he sailed toCuba
called the "Queen of the Antilles" He
landed at Havana, the largest city of the
West Indies. 1t is also the greatest sugar
market in the world. Before leaving the
West Indies, e:visited Trinidad island noted
for its 'pitch lake" of unknown depth. On
the sides the pitch is hard and cold, but the
centre is in liquid, boiling state. The hard
pitch is used in paving the streets of cities.
After reaching the Triangular Cont
nent' or South America, he sailed up the
Amazon, the king of rivers" which is so
wide that.his ship was sometimes out ofsight
of land. This river drains larger area and
discharges more water into the ocean than
any other river. 1t is noted for its ''bores,"
which are caused by the abstraction of bars
and the form of the channel, the whole
flow of the tide often being detained, comes
in in one rush of water, or in two or three
successive waves, the roar of which can be
heard five or six miles away.
The traveller passed through fork of the
Cassiquiare river to the Orlnoco in canoe
The waters of this river flow sometimes
into the Amazon and sometimes into the
Orinoco. This phenomenon is called
bifurcation, there being no height of land
between the two river basins.
He went over into Venezuela or Little
Venice" so named on account of the Indian
villages which the first explorers found
built on piles along Lake Maracaybo; and
wrote his notes by the Lantern of Mara
caybo. which is volcano lit up with pc
troleum. 1t serves as Lighthouse to mar
liners.

saw north of latitude %. on the slopes of
the Peruvian Andes. the cinchona tree
from whose bark quinine is made.
He visited Pasco, the highest city in the
world, and passed by Lake Titicaca on the
boundary of Peru and Bolivia This lake is
50 high that the pressure of the atmosphere
is greatly diminished, and evapora ton is SO
rapid that the water is taken up as fast as
the rivers pour it in.
He crossed the desert of Atacama in the
northern part ofChili, and in passing through
the Argentine Republic, he saw .'fulgu-
rite" which is formed when the lighting
strikes the ground and makes hole in the
earth. melts the sand and forms a funnel
shaped lining of glass.
He did not visit the island of Juan Fer
nandez which was the home of Robinson
Cruso, but travelling on south, he went
through Terra del Fuego. the land of fire,
to Cape Horn, or the furnace cape, both SO
called on account of the fiery furnaces the
discoverers fancied they saw there.
