General GOrdon,s Wife.

Through the entire civil war General
Gordon's wife accompanied him, never
leaving his side save when the ex-
igencies of campaign made her pres
ence impossible. To the faithful de-
votion of his wife General Gordon
owed his life. In the bloody battle of
Sharpsburg. Gordon, while in the
midst of the carnage, was shot FIVE
times. AS soon as he fell his wife
rushed to his side and carried him to
safety, stanching the flow of blood and
attending his wounds until medical aid
could be procured. She remained with
him in the hospital until he had recov-
cred, and when General Gordon went
back to join his command Mrs. Fan
ME HARRISON Gordon followed her hus-
band.

The Union Republican State Con-
vention held at Dover on Wednesday,
March 10th, says the Milford NeiOs and
Advertiser, was we'll ordered, digni-
fed proceeding and reflected credit
upon the participants. The men
chosen as representatives to the Nat
tional Convention are all avowed
Union men, and none of them are
known to have given "aid and COM
fort" to the Regulars. twill be found
that the men selected by the Regular
convention will all be positive and
radical members of the Regular or
ganzation so as between the two honors
will be easy.
"The real contest will come over the
seating of the delegates in the Chicago
Convention. Just what arguments
the Regulars can bring to bear in favor
of the seating of their delegation re-
mains to be seen. They surely cannot
claim that they represent the majority
of the Republicans of the State, when
as matter of fact that end of the
party is made up of little coterie Of
very respectable men who live in and
about Wilmington but who have be-
come fewer in numbers, with the pass
ing of the years, until it is questionable
whether now they constitute a major
ity of the Republican party in New
Castle county.
''To seat in the delegation represent
ing a small minority, and to allow thu
great majority of the party to be un
represented by its chosen delegate
would be a rank injustice to the politi
cal forces that have made Delaware
Republican State. The Union Repuh
licans have redeemed every promis
made by them to the National Conyer
ton four years ago. They promised
Republican Governor and legislator
aud the promise was kept. The
pledged themselves to the election
two United States Senators, both {
whom should be Republicans, and tn
pledge was kept. And Delaware tt
day is under Republican control fro
one end to the other largely throug
the organization and persistence of Il
Union Republican party. The Ns
ional organization is not likely to owe
look these facts sopotent and positi'
that they cannot be gainsaid."

An Interested Juror.

An instance of an interested jury
man was reported not long ago. A jury
had been impaneled, when a man
stepped forward and explained that,
having been summoned to serve, he
wished to be allowed to do so at once,
as he had to attend a funeral at dis
tant place in the latter portion of the
week. A place was therefore made for
him in the jury box. The case was
tried. and owing to this mans Obsti-
macy a verdict of acquittal was Sc
cured. 1t was subsequently discovered
that the man had never been sum
moned to serve at all and that the pris-
oner was his friend.-London bits.

Both Died as They Wished To.

Tennyson. who was a shy, reserved
man, could never understand Robert
Browning's love of society. He had
been heard to remark that Browning
would die in a white chOker at q din
ner party. The two poets died as
they would have wished to die-Rob-
ert Browning in the grand Palazzo
Ressonicco, with his son by his bed
side, and Lord Tennyson in his beloved
Surrey home, surrounded by his loved
ones.

FRIENDSHIPS.
Those of Long Standing and Those
Made In Later Life.

Those of Long Standing ana Those
Made In Later Life.
People make friends later than they
used to, or at least so it seems to us,
probably because they grow old in gen
eral later than they did. Friendship
must change it's nature with advancing
years, but whatever makes later life
full of activities and new beginnings
causes friendships also to begin at
even the later stages of the journey.
OF two old men early friends who had
uuarreled COleridge said:
They stood aloof, the scars remaining.
Like cliffs which had been rent asunder.
Such an image OF course gives power
fully the sense of fxity, the opposite of
the fluid potentially of youth. Yet in
the same poem we have the hint that
not all is glorious in youth:
And constancy lives in realms above,
And life is thorny, and youth is vain.
Friendship becomes rid of some van
ity, it becomes more noble and satisfy
ing to the deeper thoughts and ideals,
when the roots of it grow back into a
long distant past. and if we can keep
the power of making a few new
friends in age as we need them to sup
plement those inherited from youth,
which grow fewer with the years, but
ripper and more select, friendship should
play a satisfying role far along toward
the end of life, the best role indeed of
it's career. if. as Emerson thinks, life
time is needed for its completeness,
while an hour or a day is enough for
toll or play. The late friendships of the
unmarried, the childless and the wild
owed have a special necessity and
pathos of their own, for mates and
children to a large extent at certain
periods naturally take the place Of
other friends.-COlIier's Weekly.

The Annual Bath In the Ganges.
The largest regular assemblage of
people in the world is said to be the
crowd which gathers annually at
Benares. in India, to battle in the
Ganges. A large temple, or rather a
series Of buildings. is on the shore at
this point, while steps reach down to
the waters edge. The Hindoos crowd
upon this bank in enormous numbers
the crowd at times numbering upward
of $4,000. AS the natives are dressed
in the brightest colors, the crowd gives
the impression of an enormous bed Of
