Militia at Rehoboth.

Lewes Pilot.
Rehoboth is to be congratulated on
it's selection as the place for the en-
campment of the state Militia, and the
officers of the militia are to be con-
graduated for making the selection.
If the people of this State would al
ways feel a like interest in Rehoboth,
our only seashore resort it would be-
come more attractive than it is and
be a still greater source of pride to the
State. What Rehoboth needs more
than anything else is a lift from our
own people, the people of Delaware,
who should be first Of all to advance
its interests. Rehoboth is a Delaware
resort and Delawareans have it in their
power to make it rank among the
foremost ones on the coast State
pride, if nothing else, should induce
them to make Rehoboth all that it
deserves to become.

The following interesting account o.

James Forbes "Oriental Memories"
zone Of q shooting party under a ban
yan tree killed a female monkey and
carried it TO his tent, which was soon
surrounded by forty or fifty Of the
tribe. who made a great noise and
seemed disposed TO attack their ag-
gressor. They retreated when he pre-
sented his fowling piece, the dreadful
effect of which they had witnessed
and appeared perfectly to understand.
The head Of the troop, however, stood
his ground, chattering furiously. The
sportsman, who perhaps felt some lit
tie degree Of compunctiOn for having
killed one Of the family, did not like
to fire at the creature, and nothing
short Of firing would suffice to drive
him off. At length he came to the
door Of the tent and, finding threats of
no avail, began a lamentable moaning
and by the most expires i've gesture
seemed to beg for thc dead body. It
was given TO him. He took it sorrow
fully in his arms and bore it away to
his expectant companions. Those who
were witnesses Of this scene resolved
never again TO fire at one Of the mon
key race"

The Scotch Sabbath.

An English artist. travelling profes sionally through Scotland. had occa sion to remain over Sunday in small town in the north. To while away the time he walked out short way in the environs, where the picturesque ruin of a castle met his eye. He asked a countrvman who was passing to be so good as to tell him the name of the castle. The reply was somewhat start ling. Its no the day to be asking sic things..'
 Another good story of Scottish ob- servance of the Sabbath is told by a clergyman. "A minister of the kirk declared in public that at country hotel he wished the window raised so that he might get some fresh air. but the landlady would not allow it. saying, 'Ye can hae no fresh air here On the Sawbeth.'"

The young man waxed impatient.

 Aye, said Miller Brown. "but how long couldst keep it up, lad?''
 ''Till I starvedH' was the trenchant answer.
