The day may be one of calamity, Dark
clouds may be over us and terrible storm
about to break upon us. Where shall we
find safety? The providence of God may
fill us with alarm. and we may feel our
selves left destitute and helpless. Where
may we hide ourselves from the impend-

while others are rejoicing because of great
good, we are depressed in spirit, and in the
thought of ourselves see only sin and judG,.

God has given us the answer: God il our
refuge; help in trouble most readily to
be found" He is at hand and His ear is
open to our cry Of distress. He is the Al
mighty. and within His loving care we are
safe He is the faithful, unchanging One,
and, therefore, will not forsakee us. The
word is nigh thee even in thy mouth;

Now that the Wilmington city elec
tion is over, the politicians of the state
are discussing the situation and what
will be the probable effect on the future
elections both municipal and state.
The Wilmington Daily Republican
Eays:-The result of Saturdays mum
icipal election presents nothing COM
fOrting to the sense of the Republican
party of Wilmington. With every chance
wrestling control of the government
from the Democrats, who retire with a
deficit of upwards of 100000 as evid-
euce of their incapacity in municipal
affairs, the Republican party went into
and emerges from a contest, with but
tour office holders as the profit of that
contest, leaving the lions share of the
,8ffices and the city's good name to the
party that has dragged it in the dust
and should have been overwhelmingly
defeated as a just recompense. The
one great lesson to be learned again is
unity in Republican action, and we
believe it will have been learned
thoroughly before another municipal
election falls due. The polling of such
large vote by the Union party should
establish it as the Republican party of
Wilmington and it is now incumbent
upon this majority organization to
continue all honorable effort to have

SAVED BY FAITHFUL WATCH DOG.
Elstern Shore Woman Owes Her Life to the
Protection of Her Pet Dog.

During the absence of her husband
Mrs. John Swami, wife of farmer in
Talbot county, few miles from Eas-
ton, was brutally beaten on Friday
last by on unknown white man, who
robbed the house and made his escape.
Mrs. Swami was attending to some
out-Of-dOor duties of farmers wife,
and on going back into the house,
found the man helping himself to food
and drink. How he got into the house
she does not know, but she asked him
what he wanted. He replied that he
had what he wanted. This was mani
fest from the fact that the sideboard
| and bureau drawers had been ransack-
ed and the contents strewn over the
floor She ordered him to leave the
house, when he grabbed her, and a
fierce struggle ensued. He choked
her and knocked her down, and saws
she believes he would have killed her
but for the fact that at the critical
moment her watch dog took part in
the affair. Seeing his mistress assault
ed the faithful animal sprang at the
man, who vainly tried to kick him off.
The dog clung to the man, giving his
mistress time to regain her feet. The
dog kept up the attack and finally OBJ
liged the fellow to retreat by leaping
through back window, and taking to
the woods. Mrs. Swami was badly
overcome by the adventure, and re-
quired the services of a physician.
NelghbOrs raised hue and cry and
went in pursuit of the robber. He got
away with square meal, some $40 in
money and gold watch.

The beautiful custom of decorating
the graves of the soldiers who were
killed in the Civil War originated in
the South. The women of Dixie
conceived the idea of strewing flowers
on the last resting places of the heroic
men who fought for the Confederacy
and died for the Lost Cause. The
North has its Decoration Day, when
the graves of the men who wore the
blue, are adorned with floral tributes.
The South has its Memorial Day, or,
rather memorial days, and in some
cases the day on which the exercises
are held commentaries some striking
event in the war between the States.
For instance, June 9 has been for
many years Memorial Day in Peters
burg, Va, where the bodies of thou
sands of Confederate soldiers are
buried. On June 8, 1864, an attack
was made unexpectedly on that city
by large force of Federal cavalry.
The attacking party was held in check
by a detachment of citizen soldiery
until reinforcements could be hurried
to the scene by General Lee. In that
engagement a number of the citizen
defenders of Petersburg were slain.
Last Saturday was Memorial Day at
Winchester, Va, and the fact that
5000 persons took part in the exer-
cises attests the love and admiration
in which the Southern people hold the
heroes who died for the South. Bal
