SENATOR KENNEY's CONDUCT.

United States Senator Richard r.
Kenney has demonstrated by his con-
duct that ne lis In no sense afraid to
meet his traducers. Since his name WAS
printed in connection with the Boggs
steal he has remained within the
United States Courts immediate Juris-
diction. ready at amy time to accept ser
vice at the hands OF United States
Marshal Short or his deputies. He even
came TO Wilmington and attended the
preliminary hearings OF those accused
OF being accomplices OF Boggs, thus
demonstrating that he feared no action
which might be taken against him.
BUT none was taken. and his friends
declare that none win be taken for the
reason that there is not the shadow Of
criminal relation between him and the
defaulting teller OF the First National
Bank. OF Dover. Whatever may be
done in the future, d. is certainly mani-
fest that Senator Kenney is both will
ing and anxious to defend his charac-
ter against amy and all traducers.

as many as twenty-tour large editions
nave been disposed OF within the space OF

A writer in Macmilian's Magazine offers
in an article on printers errors some SUI

The first owes its character to an interpo-

of J. s. Terry, schoolmaster, of a son. He
spoke indistinctly. but was understood to
say that on the Sd inst, at Ripon, the wife
of Joseph Landseer. tailor, of daughter"
The second occurred in a description OK
the campaign of Roman Catholic mis-
sionaries in Central Africa;
They are accustomed to begin their
work by buying heathen children and edu
eating them. The easiest and best way to
prepare them is TO first wipe them with a
clean towel. then place them in dripping
pans and bake them until they are tender.
After which cut them in slices and cook
for several hours"
