1Ot An WANllN a Fuss'
creek after Bill Hopkins. When Bill
came up, the stranger looked him over
and queried:
Gar you a fighter"
II ar" modestly replied Bill.
"Hev you got q record?"
II hev. I've licked every critter who
has dared stand before me from Grassy
Valley to Ace High"
But ar you gentleman as well as
fighter" persisted the stranger.
"Of course I arp said Bill, land I'd
like to see the blamed galoot who says
/ haint! But what's that got to do
with it, and what 's all this riot about?"
I'm wantin to come across critter
with sand, replied the stranger, in soft
and oily tones.
"You ar wantin fuss?'
II ar, but the Teller must be o gen
tleman, same as l ar. No gentleman
ever fights with loafer."
"Waal, don't see why we can't git
together" said Bill, "but I don't see
the obiick exactly"
Inc ODJlck Is TO lick you!
ooh, she ar'l Well, fix things your
own way, and I'll be on handr'
After consulting with Judge Watkins
and others, the stranger arranged mat
tiers. He wanted to fight Bill rough and
tumble and he wanted the two Of them
to go up OH the hill after dark and have
it ont alone. The boys demurred to this,
as they wanted to see the fun, but Bill
Hopkins said it should be that way. As
he understood matters, gentlemen al
ways went off by themselves to settle
disputes. If the stranger was gentle
man, he couldn't afford to do anything
else. He'd lick him out of his boots in
five minutes, but he'd lick him as one
gentleman should lick another.
Thus it came about that the pair went
off together up the hill after dark, each
one bowling and scraping and trying to
Guido the other in gentility. They were
to take position ten rods apart, and at O
signal from camp were torush together.
When the battle was over, the victor was
to boot and we would go up and bring

pushed. The signal was given as agreed,
but at the end of an hour no one had
hooted. We had just started to go up
when Bill came dowp to us. There were
tears i'll his eyes. his back was bumped
up, and he dragged his legs as he
walked.
WAL, is the corpse up thar" asked
Judge Watkins.
MARY corpse"
Didn't nobody get licked?'
''No The Teller slid out unbeknown
to me before you gin the signal, and
thar was nuthin fur me to ight!'
1.-THE burned skunk! Why, he said
he was gontlcmanr

And we guaranteed him that you

81 should say not Gentleman, the
meeting will now come to order. Now
then! 'Wharas one Teller who said he
was gentleman has sneaked out of Il
fight with another Teller whom we all
know to be a gentleman; be it
Resolved, That Bill Hopkins ar
nc. longer gentleman and hain't got
no cause fur feelin bad about it!'"
The preamble and resolution were
unanimously adopted and Bill wiped
his tears away, braced up his feelings
and was soon himself again.

One tablespoonful after each meal.
For children from to years old half
n teaspoonful is sufficient dose and for
children from to l2 years old FROM one to
two teaspoonfulls. Putting it in other
words two to five grains for achild under
7, and five grains for one under u years.
This treatment is to be followed one week
oven when the dog is not mad, as the virus
of an angry dog produces hydrcph. bia.
When rabies is manifest the treatment
is to be continued for three weeks. In
such a case the fluid can be injected with
good effect in doses of from fifteen to
thirty grains every two hours.

SOME persons wish 10 rsduee the number
Of the members OF the Board Of Education.
As citizens serve without salary We do not
see why there should be any change made
by the Legislature. So long as commits
tees are appointed to visit the schools
there should DO large number to select
from. Otherwise the duties OF the CON-
mittees would prove rather onerous. A
member may take pleasure in visiting
school once or twice week, but IL he
should be required to visit school every
day he might find the matter too great
tax. The present system has worked very
well for nearly fifty years, and wc see no
good reason to change it now. We should
like to know what good object can BIO
obtained by the change, and If any one has
an axe to grind 1t should be pointed out.
THE life saving stations that are located
along Long Island coast were put there at
the instrumentality OF Francis Vincent,
Esq, historian Of Delaware. 1t was he
almost unaidcd and alone, who petitioned
Congress to locate these stations and
thereby lessen the chapter OF drowning
cases. Four men were saved from death in
old ocean on Thursday by tho members of
the Short Beach Life Saving Station. Tho
men had left Freeport, N. Y, on Monday,
for the purpose of going Oh u cunning trip
They came near paying dearly for the
sport. The government pays out several
thousand year to maintain these coast
defenscs but they have more than repaid
the expenditure.

The bill introduced in the Legislature
10 tax bonds and mortgages in order to
increase the revenue of our State should
be closely scanned by our citizens. In
nine cases out Of ten such tax must be
paid by the borrower, and thus it falls on
the class least able to bear tho additional
burden. We know from experience that
this is fact Hence former laws provid.
ing for the collection of such tax have
been repealed in our State. To re-enact
them now would be the height of folly.
Some other source of revenue should be
found, orthere should be greater economy
in Stats expenditures. Useless offices
should be abolished, and there should be "a
general pairing down in all directions.
Above all the debtor classes should not
have their taxes increased as their burdens
are already heavier than they can well
bear

Great economy is demanded at the present

SATURDAY. JANUARY 80. 1877.

THERE is o great deal Of dlssension
among the members of the General AS
sembly regarding the manner in which
the Constitutional Convention is formu-
lating new constitution They think
the convention is taking too much upon
itself in framing laws that are the sole
prerogative of the Legislature. They Will
see the handwriting on the wall II all OF
the proposed amendments are made to the
new constitution. The assumption oil
authority fixing the time that the Legisla-
lature shall sit, the members thereof re-
ceiylng pay for the same, has been liked at
90 days, and extra sessions if needed at 20
days.
This Is another thing that hurts the
politicians and men who have political
axes to grind, as it shortens up the session
considerably. The prolonged session of
two years ago, when the members were
balloting for U. S. Senator, caused Il CO.
operation Of all of the members Of the
convention to give their unanimous con
sent to the remedying Of this evil if it
should ever arise again. Numerous re-
forms in the constitution are aimed solely
at Addicks in Delaware, and the Demo
Gratis being afraid OF him and his backing
will consent to almost any thing to circum-
vent him getting footho!d in politics.
While the Democratic members are pleas
ing their co-laborers they are stirring up
quite hornets nest by thor acquiescins
in everything thus far proposed in protect
ing the purity of the ballot We are he
ginning to think the world really does
move In Delaware. One OF the startling
changes to be made, and which has been
receiving considerable attention, is the
proposed law making Delaware local
option State The convention being
Democratic the proposed change making
our State dry ono will not stand ghost
of a show of being enacted. Tho State
,rives the principal part Of its revenue
from the sale of liquor.
