pimcu1t Horseback Feat.

There are no better horsemen in the
world than the cavalry officers of the
italian army, yet even among them
there are very few who could perform
the feat recently achieved by one Of
them.
To run an ordinary foot race is easy
enough, but to run at full speed for
several hundred yards holding in one
hand a spoon on which rests an egg
and to reach the goal without dropping
the egg is a feat which must be prac-
ticed carefully a long time before it
can be performed successfully, and as
a result there are not many who can
be sure Of accomplishing it whenever
they try. Great, therefore, was the
surprise when an Italian officer mount.
ed on horseback performed this diff.
cult feat. Moreover, he selected q
course in which there were two OF
three high fences, and these he cleared
at full gallop without losing the egg.

Caleb Parker johnson, last of the
Delaware editors who were conspicu-
Gus in the former newspaper regime
the era of weeklies and seml-weekhes,
but no dailies-died at his residence
in Wilmington at $50 o'clock Tuesday
morning, in the 85th year of his age.
Mr.. Johnsons death was the result
of Il complication of diseases. He had
been complaining for a long time and
for the past six weeks had been con-
fined to his bed with gastrititis and
kidney trouble. For nearly forty
years Mr.. johnson was editor of the
Delaware Gazette. His partners
changed frequently during the first 10
wears, but Mr.. johnson remained
with it, and on January LIST, 1858, he
became sole proprietor. MIR. john
son conducted the Delaware Gazette
with signal ability throughout the
trying period of the Civil War, keep
ing it on an even keel in a mastery
manner, for in those days Democratic
papers in the North frequently had
hard WORK to maintain an existence.
But the Delaware Gazette, under Mr..
Johnson's able management, fulfilled
every duty that devOlved upon it as
the organ of the Democratic party,
and still maintained steadfast loyal
ty to the Federal Union. During all
this time the paper was the acknow-
lodged organ of the Democratic party
of Delaware, and welded large in
fuence in party affairs.

The Way His Soldiers Managed to
Evade Them.
General Longstreet used to tell a good
many stories to show that the men of
his command always treated captured
Union soldiers With as much considera-
ton and kindness as was possible I'M
der the circumstances. He said that
his orders ON this point were very
strict, and he never knew any of his
men to disobey. AS he went ON to ex-
plain how proud he was of the record
of his men on this point a listener en-
ployed in one of the departments at
Washington interrupted him.
Undoubtedly your orders were strict,
general" he said, but l happen to
know that they were evaded. For ex'
ample. in east Tennessee you ordered
your men to respect the belongings of
prisoners, and this is the way some of
them did it: l wore a good pair of army
shoes. nearly new. One day a good
natured fellow in gray with no shoes
to speak of walked along our line look
ing intently at the shoes of the cap
tured UniOnists. He put his foot by
the side of mine and, remarking that
was just his size, added: old Pete
[Longstreetl says he will have every
man shot who steals anything from {

trade shoes with me? For 1 must have

At this Longstreet smiled, but insist
ed that the story didn't prove any
! thing.

The matter of greatest economic
importance to the people of the Eastern
Shore of Maryland is the preservation
and development of the oyster indus
try of the State. The Haman Oyster
and Good Roads bills, which were in
troduced in both branches of the
Legislature and are now IN the COM
mittee, ought to be reported at once
and passed, says the Baltimore Sun.
There is no valid objection to the
Haman bill on economic grounds.
Those who are already engaged IN the
oyster industry and derive a living
from the natural beds will lose none
of the rights and privileges which
they now possess. Under the pro-
posed legislation no restrictions are
placed upon the oystermen which dc
not already exist. What the Haman
bill provides for is a system of plant
ing and oyster cultivation in the un
productive area in the Chesapeake and
its tributaries-th addition of new
source of wealth to the State by tn,
transformation of unproductive barrer
bottoms into a productive area. TIL

SINCE the Nel0s and Advertiser of |
Milford has come under new manage
ment, it has been advocating common
primaries and majority rule The cam
paign now coming on will be an i'm
portant one and it emphatically points
that the Republican party must drop
fractionalism if it wants to succeed.
After brief review of the fractional
strife that has been waged for many
years, it closes with strong plea for
majority rule and says the following:
1--WE need one party in which all
Republicans shall take their full aud
rightful share of responsibility. We
want the individual members of the
party to dictate the lines of party
policy and make the nominations.
In the individual, in the rank and
file all power and authority is vested.
If party becomes boss-ridden it is
because the individual voters allow
it to be done. 1t is the bone of
American politics that the individual
is inattentive if not grossly criminal
in the exercise of his political rights.
If the individual voter would do less
whining and more fighting there
would be cleaner politics.
There has been much idle talk
about the eliminating of Objectionable
leaders. The only way to "elimi-
nate" is by a majority vote. The
Regulars have been urging for nine
years the elimination of an individual
in the ranks whom they claim 40 the
cause of party discord. Phe fact re-
saassrnsr-<Shat -ths=e was party discord
before the advent of this individual
in Delaware politics and the ''white
wings of peace" would not spread over
the party for a week if he should be
eliminated tomorrow. Elimination
can only be had by majority OF the
party directing the elimination. When
the majority of the party refuses its
adherence to a member of the party
he can be gotten rid of, but he cannot
be eliminated by high-sounding reso
lutions of the minority end of the
party. The principle of majority ruiz
is too deeply rooted in the American
character to allow this to be done
As rule the dog wags the tail, an
not the tail, the dog. This may &C
count for the futility of the Regular
in eliminating" by methods thus ia
pursued by them. Possibly if the
would urge their opposition With
party lines, their efforts might be SUI
cessful, at least it is fair to assum
that if the Regulars can show that th
elimination of any individual woul
tend to strengthen the party organ
cation so that it would be able in th
future to not only hold the ground
has gained but go forward to create
accomplishments, they could win
majority of the party to their schem
of elimination and objectionable
would have to go.
"a united party must adopt, a
knowledge and live up to the America
idea of majority rule. If rooted al
grounded on that all minor difficult
would in time adjust themselves.
