FOR LIVING TARGETS.

Clarence L. Scott, Of Middletown, re-
Gently had the negroes OF that commu-
nifty in an indignant stew, if the Way
farer is not grossly deceived. He told
them that the National Guard of Della
ware wanted fifty living targets for
practice, and that he had been instruct
Cd to procure them. The liberal COM
pensation of S1.25 a day and keep
was offered each man, but he found no
recruits, although one old negro hesi-
tated before refusing, saying:
Dem boys don look as though dey
co'ud hit er targit, but. yit, a stray bull
lit is ies' as likely as not to hit a mig
ger, anyhow, an / CESS I'll hab to &c
into decline OBJ yo' temptin offah."

THE WILD WEST.

Buffalo Bill's Wild West bristles
with such proofs Of genuineness as no
other exhibition can present. There is
no "make believe about it, nothing
that seems to say: "We will now give
you an imitation OF somebody doing
;omething." and it does not in any de-
gree rely for it's success upon the dis
rlay Of sensational feats that have no
other utility than spectacular exhibit
tion. The men who participate in II
are. I'M absolute verify, what
they are represented as being,
and the things they do are
such as they have been accustomed TO
in their struggle for existence in their
several avocatiOns and conditions OF
life. This gives TO the entertainment a
positive educational value as well as
thrilling realism that is sensed by
every spectator. No American can wit
ness it without feeling of patriotic
pride, for, though there is no unfair
discrimination in favor Of such por-
tions of thedisplay as are purely Ameri-
can In character, in arrangement Of the
program, it cannot escape any observ-
ant eye that the most daring, vigorous,
dashing features of the show are those
distinctly American. The Wild West
Show comes to Front and Union streets
on Friday, May 9.

oNANA, TO VIsTT WILNIINGTON.

MANA" TO VISIT WILMINGTON.
The famous and much-talked-Of
Mana" the painting by SuchorOwsky,
is to pay Wilmington visit, and Will
be exhibited for two weeks only at 6O4
Market street, which will be fitted out
for the purpose, commencing Monday
next, May 2. SuchOrOwsky's Mana"
has been pronounced to be the most
unique, fascinating and wonderful pic
ture of the age During the past tif-
teen years II has been exhibited in
England France, Germany and Amer
lea, was one Of the biggest successes
at the Worlds Fair, Chicago, and has
Just completed a thirty-weeks' engage
ment in Philadelphia, whore over 1885,
600 people flocked to see it. In speak
ing of Mana" the Philadelphia Ledger
says: Mana" has come before the
world as the perfection OF that branch
Of art which DIT represents. The express
sion of the face and the brilliancy OF
the eyes are striking in the extreme,
and the more the spectators gaze
upon the rbewitching loveliness of D.
countenance the more he is deludeo
INTO the thought that he beholds some
living beauty before him.

THE TORPEDO NESTS.

Several negroes were congregated at
Eighth and Tatnall streets shortly af-
ter O'Clock in the evening While they
were conversing there came success
sion of heavy booms.
'eWha's dat?" asked one Of the ne
groes.
Il spec hits sum fightin' agwine on
between de Spanishers an de 'Mericans

another.
"Yo' niggah's jes' standin' up yere

third man." Dey hahn no Spanishers

Hahn right, boss?" he asked, turning
TO the Wayfarer, who was standing
near waiting for a friend to come out OF
the market house.
Pm not sure" was the reply, "but
I think that the noise you heard was
made by the setting of Of blasts up at
Bellevue quarries. They are usually
touched off as soon as the men are
through work for the day"
Il mout hab know dat" exclaimed
the negro who had been giving such
an interesting disquisition on torpedo
tests. "De fellers wot works foh dc

young comedian of Hoyt's forces, will
be seen in the leading comedy role,
and the consensus OF opinion Of press
and public is that "A Black Sheep,
with Edward Garvie and the admirable
company surrounding him, give more
vim and eclat and extract more gen
uine amusement from "a Black Sheep"
than any company who have everplayed
this merry and gay comedy. Every

OF those jolly entertainments that
everybody wants TO see. and should

COUPONS AND COUPONS.
A dress suit was hanging in the
closet and house-cleaning time came
around.
Il will brush this and put 1t away, "
said the housewife.
In the operation an examination OF
the pockets brought TO light a bunch of
coupons with the initials "B. L." on
each.
what a nice lot of Baynard and
Lawton trading stamps found in your
dress suit pockets. Where did you get
them?" was the question that greeted
George upon his return home that
evening
Trading stamps!" exclaimed George.

] will show them to you"
They were brought out, and, as his
wife pointed TO the "B. L." George re-
membered that the last time he had
worn the suit was to attend a social
function of some city organization-it
might have been the Bayard Legion
and that the usefulness of the coupons
was in the past, instead Of in the fu-
ture A promise Of some real trading
stamps had to be made to compensate
for the wife's disappointment.
