WE should like to see the marsh
land fronting on the Delaware re-
deemed and bulk heads put in that
will bring over hundred acres of
ground into the market for manu-
featuring sites. 1t is to be hoped
that one or two owners Of this land
will not stand in their own light
and that of the public and prevent
the sale by holding out for what
would be considered more than
fair price for upland property.
Some people don t know agood thing
when they have it within their
grasp. Some persons have an OPP
portuuity once in life time to dis
pose Of their property at paving
prices and when the opportunity is
not taken advantage OF. 1t often
never comes again. This land is
not fit for farming purposes and
not fit for manufacturing sites un-
less filled in and made secure
against the water.

BY the deepening of the channel
In the Christiana river, the Harlan
and Hollingsworth Company has
been able to take vessels to build
that they otherwise could not have
bid for. The Company has more
work OH hand than they have had
for years and the prospect is bright
er indeed than it has been in the
history Of the Company. Two $500
contracts were given out Y esterday
TO two of our local firms for furnish
ing one of the vessels with the nee
essary outfit. The local firms have
already disbursed several thousand
dollars amongst our merchants for
goods in fitting out the vessels built
by them. Every vessel built by the
Wilmington firms brings so many
thousand dollars to our city. In
der the present management, the
H. & H. Company are striving to
keep up the reputation of the works
for good work, for which this firm is
noted all over the world.

vaselfne Pancakes.

Caesars creek. on the Florida coast,
was named after a famous old pirate
called Black Caesar, whose. profession
added to the risks Of marine insurance.
After the pirates the Florida wreckers
came, of whom H. A. Willoughby, in
his Across the Everglades. tells this
story:
A large steamer was stranded on the
reef not far from Cape Florida. Nosoon-
er had she struck than the news spread
rapidly along the shore. The people fol-
30 miles around gathered on the beach
opposite the stranded steamer. Among
them were a number Of Indians from
the Everglades. who CHANGED to be down
there and knew what a ''wreck" meant
to the wreckers.
The steamer, loaded with an assorted
cargo, began to break up, and barrels.
cases and boxes drifted gradually ashore.
There were casks of wine, boxes of soap,
cases IF bottles of wine and iron and a
hundred other articles. The Indians
seized upon the wine and soon were in
a condition that allowed the white men
to secure the more valuable prizes.
The squaws struck a bonanza in a
case of vaseline. They thought it new
variety Of the white mans frying fat
and, starting a fire, fried pancakes in it.
What a dish-pancakes a la Seminole!

Messages by Vibration,

Curiously enough, the fact appears,
according to a recent traveller among
the Indians of Catuquinarn, between
the rivers Embrya and Embyrasu, that
those people have long employed a wire
less telephony, but rather after the or
der Of unwritten science.
It is made by digging a hole in the
ground inside a house and laying the
bottom with coarse sand, well piled.
On this is laid a wooden drum or hol-
low cylinder Of wood, half filled with
fine sand and layers of broken wood,
bone and powdered mica-the upper
part of the cylinder, which is empty,
rising above the floor of, the hut and
closed first by leather, then by wood,
and lastly by india rubber. Outside,
the cylinder is packed round with frag-
ments Of wood, leather and resins, and
covered with hard rubber at the level
Of the soil.
To use this peculiar apparatus the
drum is struck by a wooden hammer,
and the vibration is evidently transmit
ted through the soil.@ The answer is
heard in the drum, which acts as a
resonator, and messages are thus sent
over 1900 yards from house to house.

THIS QUEER OLD WORLD.

- 4 queer how things go by contraries here.
IT'S always too cold or too hot,
And the prizes we miss. you know, always ap-
pear
To be better than those that we've got.
IT lie always too wet or too dusty and dry,
And the land is too rough or too fiat;
There's nothing that's perfect beneath the
blue sky
IT'S a pretty good world TOR all that.
Some people are born but to dig in the soil,
a nd sweat for the bread that they eat,
While some never learn the hard meaning of
toll,
And live on the things that are sweet.
"A few are too rich and a lot are too poor.
n some are too lean or too fat
All, the hardships are many that men must
endure
It's a pretty good world for all that.
The man who must think envies them that
must be
Ever pounding and digging for men,
And the man with the pick would be happy II
he
Might play with the brush or the pen!
All things 60 by contraries here upon earth;
Life is empty and sterile and fiat;
Man begins to complain on the day OF his
birth
rs q pretty good world for all that.

Mule Dentistry,

A Mexican mining company, which
owns 800 mules, keeps a dentist on it's
staff simply to look after the mules
teeth.
One of MI. Mules amiable weaknesses
is the habit Of boiling his food, which
frequently causes dyspepsia or other dis
eases. This boiling of his food is not
caused by a desire to hasten his meal,
but because his molars, or back teeth.
having more work to perform than his
front teeth. wear away in the course of
a few years and become much shorter
than the front ones. thus allowing the
food to pass into the stomach without
being properly masticated. In cases of
this kind the incisors. or front teeth.
have to be fled down an eighth or a
quarter Of an inch.
The molars Of the mule are three and
a half inches in length. while the in
cisors measu two and a half inches.

A kissing Nation.

In no other part Of the world is kiss
ing SO much in vogue as in Russia.
From time immemorial it has been the
national salute. Indeed it is more of a
greeting than a caress.
In public affairs, as in private, the
kiss is an established custom. Fathers
and sons kiss, old generals with rusty
mustaches kiss, whole regiments kiss.
The emperor kisses his officers. On a
reviewing day there are almost as many
kisses as shots exchanged. If a lillipu-
tian corps of cadets have earned the i'm
perial approval, the imperial salute is
bestowed upon the head boy, who passes
it ON with a hearty report to his neigh
Dor, he in his turn to the next, and SO
on, through the whole Juvenile body.
On a holiday Or fete day the young
and delicate mistress of a house will
not only kiss all her maidservants, but
all her menservants, too, and if the
gentleman does not venture above her
hand she will stoop and kiss his cheek.
To judge also from the number Of
salutes the matrimonial bond in these
high circles must be one of uninterrupt-
ed felicity. Agentleman scarcely enters
or leaves the room without kissing his
wife either on her forehead, cheek or
hand.

Heroes of the Pen.

The intensity Of application with
which the mind follows whatever it
lays hold Of in literary pursuits is ex-
empliied in the case of Robert AIMS
worth. a celebrated writer and anti
quarian OF the seventeenth century. He
had been for years engaged In q volumi-
nous Latin dictionary, and while fas-
cinated with this heroic work gave so
little time and attention to his wife
that he incurred her bitterest jealousy,
and before the work vas quite complete
she committed the whole to the flames.
Instead Of abandoning himself to de-
spair, Ainsworth set to work and re-.
wrote 1t. accomplishing the entire work
In time. The same bitter disappoint-
ment was endured with similar heroism
by Carlyle when tho manuscripts Of his
Frederick the Great was destroyed
by fire,

noon In His once.
Young Mrs. Smith. VIII. lives down
On Prairie avenue is very ,iond of her
husband and also very jealous Of him.
Mr.. Smith knows this and enjoys it i'm
mensely. Before the Smiths were mar
ried he used to know a Minneapolis girl
who visited his sister in Chicago. Mrs.
Smith knew her very well too. The Min
neapolis girl came down not long ago,
and Mrs. Smith called on her. A few
days before the Minneapolis girl went
back she called on Mrs. Smith, and
they had an enjoyable quarter of an
hour thinking things about n another
and talking about Mansfield.
When the Minneapolis girl rose to
go. she said sweefly. ''Oh. by the way.
I want to see Charlie before | go back,
and ! think l may just drop into his
Office this afternoon.
"Oh. do; Charlie will be delighted,
returned Mrs. Smith. The door had
hardly closed on the guest before Mrs.
Smith executed a sort of wa dance,
She dressed as fast as she could. put on
her bonnet and announced her intention
of going down 60 Mr.. Smiths Office.
Her grandmother demonstrated in vain.
Mrs. Smith is only 10, and she is jeal-
Gus.
II thought I'd spend the afternoon
with you. she announced to the aston
ished Charlie as she swept into the
Office.
"But, my dear he began. when
Mrs. Smith ensconced herself at the
side of his desk and intimated that the
most violent arguments would not
move her. She sat there all the after
noon. The Minneapolis girl enjoyed
herself shopping, and forgot to call in
to tell Charlie goodby. Mrs. Smith broke
down and confessed as oon as she got
home, and her foolish young husband
told her to go down next day and buy
herself the prettiest hat she could find.

Consequently when some of those boys

GENERAL CLAYTON
Received Ambassador by President
Disz, OF Mexico.

Mexico City, January 3.-The recep-
ton of Gen. Clayton, as the ambassa-
cor of the United States, took place
to-day, all the appropriate honors be-
ing extended him by the Mexican gov
ernment. State carriages bearing the
emblazoned arms of Mexico, were sent
with an escort of squadron Of cavalry
to the residence of the ambassador,
who, accompanied by the secretaries of
the embassy, andsth military attaches
were taken to the national palace at
noon, in the famous and historic hall
Ct Ambassadors, an immense throng of
American and Mexicans of the highest
society had gathered to witness the
novel and interesting ceremony.
President Diaz, wearing the grand
Gordon, the insignia of his Office, and
surrounded by his cabinet officers, was
seated on a dais, but stood as the
American ambassador entered Gen.
Clayton was dressed in his uniform as
a brigadier general of the US. army,
advanced to the dais, where the cere-
mony took place. Among other things
the ambassador said:
For period OF about twenty months
! have had the honor of serving my
country as its envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary to your excel
lauou,c Government in fhic eanitol
During part of that period owing to
unfortunate difficulties between my
country and another and the relations
existing between your country and
ours, your duties doubtless often be-
came extremely delicate. That during
the period of these unfortunate condi-
tons, you held the neutrality in per-
feet poise, l can testify, for which per-
NIT me again to express to you the
highest appreciation OF my govern
ment"
The ambassador then went on to
speak of the mutual commercial alli-
ance between Mexico and the United
States. Allusion was also made to the
death of Ambassador Romero at Wash
ington.
President Diaz, in reply, spoke of the
high regarl his government and peo-
pie had fol- the government and people
represented by the ambassador and of
his hope thai the present happy rela-
tons might always be maintained.
The dignity and good taste displayed
by the American ambassador were sub
jects Of much comment. The event
will be an historic one, as this is the
first reception under the republic of an
ambassador Of any country.
