THE old DAILY REPUBLICAN of
Wilmington, is worrying about the
shrievalty in New Castle county.
1t is interested in the sheriff ad-
vertising and printing, and that is
about the extent of its politics. -
Sussex Republican.
The REPUBLICAN has moro. than
personal profit in the success of the
party in Delaware. We think we
have given more towards the neces-
sary funds that had to be raised
every year than the editor oil the
Sussex Republican has ever given.
We are for success first and re-
ward afterw ards. Bob Houston is
one of the men who is responsible

of the men in the Republican party
who is after the loaves and fishes.
He lets his right hand know what
his left hand does, and if he is not
recognized he raises great
bray to call attention to his antics.

ORIGIN OF EXPRESSIONS.

Many of the phrases one uses or
hears every day have been handed
down to us from generation to genera
ton for hundreds of years, and in many
cases they can be traced to a quaint
and curious origin. Done to a turn"
suggests the story Of st. Lawrence, who
suffered martyrdom by being roasted
on a gridiron. During his torture he
calmly requested the attendants to turn
him over, as he was thoroughly roasted
on one side.
In one of the battles between the
Russians and the Tartars, AGO years
ago, a private soldier of the former
cried out: Captain, I've caught
Tartar" Bring him along, then" an
swered the officer. Il can't, for he
won't let me-" was the response. Upon
investigation it was apparent that the
captive had the captor by the arm and
would not release him.
The familiar expression, "Robbing
Peter to pay Paul" is connected with
the history of Westminster abbey. In
the early middle ages it was the GUS
tom to call the abbey st. Peters ca
thedral. At one time the funds at st.
Paul's cathedral being low. those in
authority took sufficient from st.
Peters to settle the accounts, much to
the dissatisfaction of the people, who
asked, why rob st. Peter to pay St.
Paul?" Some 200 years later the say
ing was again used in regard to the
same collegiate churches. at the time
of the death OF the earl Of Chatham,
the city of London declaring that the
famous statesman ought to lie in ST.
Pauls. Parliament, however, insisted
that Westminster abbey was the proper
place, and not to bury him there would
be, for the second time, "Robbing St
Peter to pay St. Paul"

said; then, wonderingly-"Mr. Mar

A FRENCH JOKE.
Partisan Journalist Asked to Bogus Re-

Partisan Journalist Asked to Bogus Re-
hearsal of Parliamentary Bell.
An interesting hoax has been perpe-
trated by prominent Partisan jour-
nal at the expense of its contempora-
ries, says the London Standard AS re-
corded some days since, M. Deschanel,
in the course Of one Of his noisy sit
tings of last session, broke the historic
bell placed on his desk to call the
deputies to order. The journal in
question announced that there was to
be an interesting rehearsal today when
with the ushers to initiate the noisy
deputies, a trial of number of new
bells would be made with view Of
selecting a successor to M. Fichet's
gift, which had done duty since 1850.
ian journalists were early in attend
ance at the Palais Bourbon, with a
view of ascertaining the hour at which
this interesting ceremony was to take
place. Courteous ushers, who, no doubt,
from their long experience, would
make model deputies, were there, as
usual, to greet them; but nothing was
known of the trial, and the journalist
responsible for the original paragraph
has the satisfaction of knowing that
he deranged at least fifty of his con-
freres, caused much amusement at the
chamber, and afforded a subject for
gossip in the evening at the clubs. M.
Deschanel, the president of the cham
Der, Is still in this country; but on his
return eight new bells, which have
been cast, will be submitted to him,
and the chosen three will be further
embellished with the initials "R. F."
One of these bells will be placed in
the chamber, one kept for reserve, and
the other sent to Versailles for the use
OF future congresses. 1t seems that
when M. Deschanel broke the bell be-
longing to the chamber, that from the
congress hall at Versailles, also of his
torical association, for it has assisted
at each of the seven presidential cleo
tons, was requisitioned, only, however.

partment, she at once encountered a
tall young man who had hurried along
the platform to meet her.

Bernard SIZZLING looked somehow
out OF place in East London. He was
a tall, aristocratic looking young man
of five and twenty or thereabouts. HIS
features were good, his eyes large and
bright, and he was justly proud of his
long chestnut mustache. He was
brave young fellow, too, for he had
been born in the midst Of poverty, and
had never lost heart. His father and
mother were of the rare quixotic few
who live, not for themselves, but to
mitigate the sorrows of those around
them. Possessed Of talents which
would have made his fortune in
fashionable west-end district,Dr. Stell-
ing still chose to live and work in
one Of the most unsavory quarters OF
the east end, sometimes getting paid
for his labors, but more frequently not
and indulging whenever he could get
the chance in such an extravagantly
generous proceeding as the adopting
of Marguerite had been. His own
small private fortune he had devoted
almost entirely to the education of his
son and daughter, Bernard and Mary.
the former of whom had just obtained
a mastership in a public school, hav-
ing passed very creditably through the
university.
It was perhaps to be regretted on
more than one ground that the impe-
eunious Bernard had fallen in love
with the penniless Marguerite; yet,
thrown as they had been together. II

The local Moulders' Union were busy
yesterday holding a secret meeting at
labor headquarters. Yesterday after
noon a shop meeting of the Allen
strikers was held, which was addressed
by James e. Roach of Albany, third
vice president of the international
body.
Pockets were established by the union
men yesterday about the Allen boiler
works on Green street. There was a
detail of two men doing duty two hours
and half on a stretch, and the shops
are being watched carefully by the UNI
ion men. They say that the proprle-
tors are unable to secure men to take
their places, and feel confident that
the founders will have to accede to
their demands whether they care to or
not.
A meeting of the executive committee
was held last evening at labor head
quarters, which was followed by a
meeting of the moulders, both of which
were secret. James e. Roach ad-
dressed both meetings.

NAMES EQUALLY GREAT.
Joe Wheeler Thinks Grant
and Lee Should Rank
Together.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 27.-Politics
gave way to patriotism at the annual
banquet of the American Republican
Club, In honor of the birthday of Gen.
Grant, tonight. The army and navy
had the call and the guests of honor
were Gen. Joseph Wheeler and Admiral
Winfield Schley. The dinner was held
at the Hotel Schenley. Covers were laid
for 365.
Preceding the dinner the distln-
guished guests held a reception. The
guests filed into the banquet hall to
the strains of the "Stars and stripes.
Hon. C. L. Magee was chairman at the
dinner table and Clarence Burleigh,
city attorney, was POSTMASTER. Nal
Gen. Wheeler responded to the toast,
Grant"
In his remarks Gen. Wheeler painted
the personal character of Gen. Grant,
whom he spoke of as loyal to God,
to country, to friends, to all his under
takings." His determination was I'M
conquerable, his spirit congenial to-
ward those whom he trusted. Two
names, said Gen. Wheeler, would go
down to ages yet to come side by
side-"Grant, the leader magnanimous
in victory; Lee, than whom no greater
ever survived defeat" Grant deserved
his renown in each of his characters
as patriot, warrior and Statesman"
His family life was one of devotion,
tenderness and love; his great desire
and end after AppomatoX was a re-
united nation.
Rear Admiral Schley replied to Our
navy" The other speakers were Col.
Alexander Mcclure, on Patriotism" !;
Gen. Willis j. Rulings, on Our army, .
and Henry Watterson, who spoke i'm
promptu.
This afternoon Gen. Wheeler was
asked if the report was true that he
had been assigned to the department
of Texas. Il hope not" he replied. Il
want to go to the Philippines. There
are several good fights left in me yet,
and 1 think l could serve my country
to the best advantage in active service
in the field. 1 have not given up hope
of being sent to Manila"
