FRIDAY. ARPiL 6, 1000

The Sun says: 1.-THE resolutions
adopted and the speeches made at
the State Convention opened broad
easy path to Republican unity aud
success. The fear of unity upon
a basis of equality, this proposition
tor which must appeal convincingly
to every sincere Republican, has
ratified the Antl-Addicks irreconsil-
ables, and has put their little line
in state of rout.
The whisperings that come over
the lines say that the irreconsilables
are in great fear Of stampede to
the Union Republican camp-the
only camp big enough and good
enough for all the Republicans of
the State to asse mble in, and the
only one from which a successful
campaign against the Democrats
can be made.
But this is not uniting, but more
like two boys making faces at one
another and daring each other over
to their side of the street. The
grandest opportunity is now offered
to the Republicans of Delaware,
to unite on some reasonable plan,
when the county officers are to be
elected. To lose the coming cleo
tion. will be to throw the Repubil-
cans back twenty years.

with said Treasurer, a written or
printed affidavit. Although his
duties are clearly defined, he per-
sists in paying the money that comes
into his hands from the city markets
to the City Auditor, who has no
business to receive any money out

ly with his office. The way the
business of the city is being run is
something like child's play.

Some years ago when Mr.. Campbell

the rocks of the clif were within two
feet OF the window, and of course he
could get not even glimpse of the
canon. as all the windows on the other
side OF the car were taken up by the
occupants of the adjoining seats. De-
termined to view the magnificence of
the canon, Mr.. Campbell returned to

Signals from the Clouds.

Though only an amateur aeronaut,
the Rev. J. NJ Bacon, rector OF small
English parish, has solved the problem
of communicating from the clouds to
the earth without the use of wires
The result of his experiments, which
have covered a period of seven years,
have been made public, and will be OF
valuable assistance to scouts and COM
manders in times of war. In the past
the war balloon has been of little prac-
teal service for the reason that wires
have been considered necessary in no
tifying the troops below of the enemy's
movements and because the wires have
prevented ascensions beyond the reach
of guns. The old balloons were limit
ed to an ascension of 900 to 800 feet,
while the Rev. Mr.. Bacon is able to
converse at an altitude of 1000 to $500
feet. A huge black, collapsing drum
hangs some forty or fifty feet below
the car of his balloon, and this he
heats by means of electricity-the
sounds being caused really by expan-
sion and contraction. The dots and
dashes of the Morse telegraph code
have been used in Mr.. Bacon's expert
ments and have been heard for several
miles. An operator understanding the
Mr. Bacon's messages without difficult
ty. Naturally, in time of war, the op-
orator in the balloon using the Bacon
system would, while using the dots
and dashes of the Morse alphabet, com
municate with his officers below in
cipher. The enemy might hear the sig
nails as plainly as the comrades of the
operators, yet would not be able to un-
derstand what was said any more than
he would a government message sent
over the cable or Geographic wires.
The Rev. Mr.. Bacon has interested
both the British war and navy depart
ments in his invention, and on one of
his recent experimental trips had as
a companion Admiral Sir Edmund R.
Fremantle. The admiral expressed him
self after the voyage as favorably ia-
pressed with the system, and said he
had no doubt that if adopted by the
government it would prove of great
value either on land or sea-

A Militia Pic.

A Militia Pig.
In an old Kentucky history Is found
peculiar incident related in connec-
ton with the invasion of Canada by
the Kentucky troops in 1872 A com.
pany of volunteers, destined for Shell
by's army, assembled at Harrodsburg,
and formed a nucleus around which
the military recruits of the country
gathered. on the march to the Ohio.
The facts as given below are vouched
for on high authority. On the outskirts
Of Harrodsburg the company saw two
pigs fighting, and delayed the march
to watch the combat When the march
recommended it was observed that the
victorious pig was following the COM
pany, and when the men encamped at
night the animal lay down near at
hand. OF course the soldiers fed their
new recruit. The next day the pig
followed them, and this it did daily
on the march to the river When the
men crossed on the ferryboat at Gin
cinnati the pig waited bit, then
plunged into the river and swan across
and when the march was resumed the
animal took its place in the flank OF
the moving column. Piggy now be-
came a great pet, and was as sure of
rations as the men themselves, and
destitute as the soldiers sometimes
found themselves. no one even limited
at putting the knife to the throat of
their follower. At Lake Erie the pig
went on board the boat with the sol
diers, but after reaching Bass Island
it declined to re-embark, and remained
behind in the care Of a man who vol
unteered to look after its wants. When
the troops returned to the American
side, to the surprise of all, the pig was
soon discovered on the right OF the
line, ready for the return march to-
ward Harrodsburg. The animal suf-
fered much from cold on this trip, and
at Maysville, where the army recross-
ed the Ohio river, it was decided to
leave it in the hands of a friend, by
Governor Shelby. Finally, the piggy
was taken to the governors home
where it passed the rest of its days II
