DOVER. Del, Jan. while the Demo-

pressions plch as obstinate as a Georgia
mule" ana the like when they talked of
the bolt of the caucus by Representative
Francis NJ soper, of FELTON,, and his dead
locking the organization Of The. House,
they were iubilant to-day because they
had patched up their differences with MIR.
Soper and organized the House al the af-
tcrnoon session 10y clcciing all the
caucus nominees from Dr Cooper for
Speaker. down to page, as told in the last
edition of THE JOURNAL yesterday.
The turn that resulted in the truce camo
sharply During the morning some Of
the Democrats bocamc alarmed at reports
that Mr. Sopor and possibly two more
dry" Democrats Of Kent might turn i'm
and vote with the Republicans TO elect
Representative William NJ. Hazel, dry
Republican. of Dover. as Speaker. While
MIR. Soper was contending for Kent
Democrat for Speaker. it was generally
accented that the wet and dry" quos-
lion was entering largely into the dead
lock MIR. Sopcr and the Democrats who
were advising him wishing important
committees appointed that would be fav-
orablo. or at least not antagonistic. TO
the temperance elements down the state.
Some of the Democrats became alarmed,
at the persistence of the reports that Rep
resentativc Hazel might receive Demo
cratic support for Speaker. and when the
Republicans early in the afternoon passed
the word around that they would vote for
Mr. Hazel the democrats became busy.
Word was carried to Representative Soper
and to Alexander NJ. DAILY, with whom Mr.
Soper was consulting regarding his dead
locking attitude that The Temperance COM
mittee and some other important commit
tees of tire House would be made up the
way Mr.. soper desired If he would fall in

Christmas has come aud is pas)

heartily enjoyed, some in receiv'
ing gifts and others in giving
them. The boys, with their pop
sticks, frecrackers, tin horns and
other noise producing contriv-
ances were i'll their glory, and the
gifls were just abont as noisy, but
on the whole Christmas was spent
quietly in Salisbury. The mer-
chants aud the clerks we're all
tired from the rush of the holiday
trace and were glad to retire to
their homes and spend the day
quietly. Services were he'd in
most of the churches, but the
slow, drizzling rain prevented
many from attending. There was
a dearth of drinking and rowdy
ism, that is usually seen on
Christmas, there being only three
DRINKS brought into court on
Monday, ami they had heen ar
rested late Sunday evening. The
merchants all report a good
Christmas trade, some going so
far as to say that thev had moth,
ing to advertise, as they had al
most sold out.

any number Of extremely smart evening

There are dressmakers who assert that
only the separate waist and skirt should

THE ROASTING WOLF.

a fox was one day speaking TO "A
wolf Of the great strength OF human
beings, especially men. ''No animal
can stand against them" he said, -'un-
less he employs craft and cunning"
Then said the wolf, "I only wish
I could see a man. j know ne should

go free"

enough and the fox led him 10
hedge through which he could see the
road. and where the fox knew hunts
men would pass during the day.

At last a hunter appeared, with his
double barreled gun on his shoulder,
and his hunting knife by his side.
There cried the fox, see. there
