DOINGS AT DOVER.
Representative Donaldson's Resolution
Preparing For War and the Time
OF Peace.

Dover, March !, 1854 Joint res solution
was offered In the House this afternoon by
Representative ID. X, Donaldson, to ap.
propriate 500 to defruy the services OF
her militia when 1t is called upon by the
Washington authorities to 20 to war to
help conquer Spain.
There is no reason why such q resolution
should receive the serious consideration
of the members of the Legislature at this
time when the United States ia at peace
with Spain and all other nations.
Tho Committee on elections this after
noon directed j. Harvey Whitman Of VIII
mington to remodel tho registration laws
of the State. The bill will provide for
department OF elections for Wilmington,
one for rural New Castle, one for Kent
and one for Sussex Mr.. Whiteman des-
cribed the Wilmington Department Of
Elections and compared the system with
that formerly in use outside. He thought
that same kind of an election department
should be provided for other localities. He
was in favor CT the same mon holding the
election as hold the registration.
He suggested departments of cleo
tions for Wilmington, rural New Castle
county, Kent county and Sussex county.
The city OF Wilmington needs such sys-
tenn to prevent schemes OF colonization
and the operation OF repeatera.
Representative Eliason gavo notice of
bill to provide for the payment of the
amounts duo for the alterations to the
State House. The total cost Is about
$4,000. 1t would. have cost less to have
built new and more modern building.
What have We got for the money expeud-
ed
Representative Dempsey gave notice of
bill In reference to feeble minded child
ron. Atpresent each county Is allowed

Daudet and Animals.

Daudet had a lurking kindness for
sinners. He pitied them, for he could
not SEQ how in the long run they could
succeed in anything But the self right
eous were more offensive to him.
think ho was right in saying that men
and women who pass for having never
sinned are unpleasant companions, and,
from tho day of judgment standard,
perhaps tho worst sinners of all. The
sensibility shown in "Jack" and other
works did not extend to animals Dau.
Diet, though cigalier, was deaf to the
chirp Of grasshopper and cricket. Birds
have no place in his rural sketches. He
could not understand the touching
beauty of tho 'last friend" at the poor
mans funeral. Animals were simply
brutes to Daudot. At best they were
warnings to human beings not to live
merely to eat, sleep and leave posterity
behind them. They sometimes were
vices incarnate Such were the fox, the
serpent the scorpion. What selfish,
heartless thing the ant wasl 1t had
head if you will, but it was tho sort Of
head that organizes labor in sooty fac
tory towns. The dog was the beastliest
beast Of any. Daudot fled from every
drawing room where he saw lapdog.

SOMETHING JUST AS GOOD.

How Bilious Man Gave Up His Two CuDs
Of breakfast Coffee.
An east end man WAS advised some
time ago not to drink coffee His doctor
told him 1t helped to make hiu liver tor.
pid and bis liver was doing its best to
render life miserable for himself and all
the rest Of the family.
But, no, he couldn't give up his two
CUPS ct breakfast time. He couldn't
make tho sacrifice. Nothing could take
the place of the delicious Java and
Mocha mixed that he had learned to
love.
One day his wife suggested in mild
way that he might DO just as we'll sat
isfled with one Of the brands Of imita-
ton coffee. He almost frothed at the
mouth.
"Thst Internal stuff he cried.
"Not much. The worry first gulp would
settle me- I'd like to see anybody try to
fool me with counterfeit of that sort. "
He didn't notice that his wife quietly
smiled. But, strange to say, from that
time on he grew better. His bilious
tendency was greatly lessened. He felt
like new man.
One day he met the doctor.
"Hello, doc!" he cried. "I'm getting
better in spite of you"
"Given up coffee, have your" queried
the smiling doctor.
"Given up coffee? Not much. Coffee's
all right"
A few weeks later he met the man
from whom he orders his groceries.
"Hellop' quoth the grocer. "How
we'll you are looking"
Yes" said the oonvalescent, Tim
feeling great deal better"
"By the way" said the grocer, you
seem to Ike that substitute I've been
sending you"
"What substituted"
"Why, that substitute for coffee"
And he named one of the numerous i'm
itatioIs Of the fragrant berry.
"Never had a cup of it in the house."
said the bilious man emphatioally.
"That's funny" said the grocer. II
haven't sold your folks pound Of gen.
uine coffee in the last three months "
The bilious man didn't say anything
further, but his thoughts were busy.
The next morning he looked at his cup
little suspioiously, but he drank it
without tremor. Perhaps he fancied
he detected the difference; perhaps not
Anyway, his wife still fondly imagines
he doesn't know of the deception.
