To Thread a Hair Through a Walnut.

TO pass d hair through walnut
without boring a hole seems an impos-
sibility, but the feat has often been
done. The hull of the walnut when
examined with a strong glass is seen
to have innumerable small openings.
some of which lead entirely through
the nut. The trick consists in using a
very fine hair and an infinite amount
of patience. Pass the hair into one of
these minute crevices and urge it gen.
tly along Sometimes it will appear on
the other side at the first trial, but if
it comes out at the hundred and first
you will be very lucky.

lie it is the con ,entrated wisdom

concrete result of centuries of
civilization; the gold which has
come from the smelling of all races

statesmen have been spent and the
blood of soldiers spilled.
When the mob takes this Unto

Or the many criticism made of
the recent lynching at Wilmington,
the following suming up of the
effects that such acts have upon
the moral laws of the land; covers
the situation. 1t is taken from

But however bad tl& mob
violence which has shows itaalf so
frequently of late years, both North
and South, and in the East as we'll
as in the West, one thing is worse:
the defense or the palliation of mob
violence which has come from un-
expected quarters, most notably
the pulpit.
Those who take this attitude may
frankly be set down as not only
devoid of civic common sense, but
as destitute of Historical knowledge
and perspective. Their attitude is
this: "The wretches who were
iynched were guilty of horrid
crimes. The mob, hopeless of secur-
ing justice from dilatory courts,
took the law into its own hands,
and itself did justice.
The argument is so old and so
puerile that a grown man ought
10 be ashamed to use it. A man
with anything which deserves the
name of education would be
ashamed to use it.
What is it that the mob takes
into its own hands?" The law.
And what is the law? In repub-

"Delawarean" or any other official

to say that all the ills that the

shows conclusively that they have

MANY of the State newspapers

faith than Governor Hum, have
by a labored effort at sarcasm, tried
to make our Chief Executive aP-
pear ridiculous for the performance
of his duty in reviewing the State
troops on Thursday, July 10th, at
Rehoboth. Such unjust criticism
has its proper effect, as instead OF
its making our Governor appear
ridiculous, it places those editors
