him flashed the events of a lifetime,

The new position acted as magic; he
beheld pleasanter picture. He saw
himself in a high hat sauntering
through the streets OF his native town;
huge diamond was in his shirt
front, and the shirt was clean. Beside
him there was great statesman, a
pnilanthropist and his benefactcr, who
from time to time slipped rolls Of bills

A famous dry goods firm, long and

founder a member of the Society OF

unassuming manners, and, therefore
naturally opposed to all ostentation.

Mr.. Addicks comedies that the Reg

members of the Delaware Legislature

After much discussion and maneuyer-

leading men OF the party whose integ-
rity is unquestioned. and whose opin-

the two houses and support them.
They urged that there should be no deal
or dicker with any other party. But
other counsel prevailed, and possibly
In some manner results may justify the

In our opinion nothing can be more

any sentiment OF reasonable Difference.
One doesn't remove his hat when lady
