Finding that our store, 302 Market
street, (although tie largest and finest
boot and shoe establishment in this
part Of the country,) is not large
enough to hold all the goods We would
wish to place before the people of Will
mington and vicinity, We have conclud-
cd to open branch store at No. 4l3
Market street, (half way between 4th
and 9Th streets,) where We will place
the greatest bargains to be found any
where. We are confident by this time
that the people are aware that we can
sell cheaper than any other house in
Wilmington by manufacturing our own
goods and selling them at and under
Wholesale prices. By giving us call
and comparing our prices with others
you will be convinced that what We say
Is true. Remember the place, No. Alb
Market street. P. MoCULouoH & Co.


Mr.. McCracken, who is manager OF
this new store, will be pleased to see
any of his old friends who may call to
see him.

A horse attached to a lumber wagon
belonging to Lindley H. Kent & Co.,
took fright at the cars at the Whining
ton & Northern Railroad Depot, at the
foot of Madison street; yesterday morn
ing, when he ran into car, breaking
the coupling pole in twain, and leaving
the hind wheels standing on the street,
he ran with tbs front wheels to the
lumber yard at Fourth and Jefferson
streets, and in going into the gate one
of the wheels struck against the post,
when trace giving way he passed out
of the shafts, leaving the wreck behind,
and continuing on to the stable stopped
at the door, where he was soon after

The law Of love was given as
a principle and a spirit which
should rule the Christians life,
and the righteousness Of the
Christian is to be measured by
the fidelity with which he ad-
heres to this supreme standard.
In this new dispensation, a
breach of the law Of love is sin
equally with the violation Of the
Jewish law. Apply this princi-
pie to the home life of the Chris
tian, and you at once touch the
root of the difficulty in domestic
infelicity. The husband or the
wife who continually commits
acts Of discourtesy in the priva-
cy of the house circle, or in
dulges habitually in cross words,
or who persists in thoughtless


ness or neglect, is guilty Of a sin
equally with one who breaks
the Sabbath, and perhaps in the
eye of God has committed the
deeper wrong. Certainly such
a one is not living the Christian
life, since the life is not animat-
ed by the spirit of Christ; for
"the fruit Of the spirit is love,
joy, peace, long suffering gen
tleness, goodness, faith, meek
ness, temperance; against such
there is no law. Let these bles-
sed qualities be enshrined in
the home life, and domestic in
felicity will be cured. Let each
party be eager in the pursuit of
happiness Of the other, and in
dividual grievance, trials and
vexations will be forgotten in
the ardor Of the new devotion,
provided that the whole soul be
concentrated in the single pur-
pose, at whatever cost, and that
efficient aid be sought from the
God Of Love. Failure in this is
failure in the Christian life,

Girls, don't think you have
reached the sum and substance
of earthly bliss when you can
write "Mrs." before your name.


TO be sure, it is all very prop
er, as well as pleasant, to have
a house and husband Of ones
own, provided that one is old
enough to take care Of the same;
but simply to get married, is
only d small part Of the plan
designed by our Creator for our
wisdom and happiness. To most
girls, their wedding day is a
dav of emancipation from care
a Joyful beginning to a new
state of existence; of life with
out a shade Of grief or aught to
mar its perfect harmony.


1t is this mistake that so ma
ny women make at the COM
menoement Of married life. They
take no thought of their duties
toward another, nor remember
that all are erring creatures and
their idol 10 less clay than 9th
ers, only that their love has
made it gold. They expect free
dom from care in married life,
but they have only given up
their freedom and commenced
life's cares in earnest.


Then after the first excitement
Of being "the bride" and sob
served of all observers" has
passed away, comes the settling
down to real, actual life, and
the young wife must needs learn,
in addition to her domestic
cares, to adapt her disposition
and temper to another's views,
and learn the beautiful lesson
of self denial, if she expects per
feet peace.


Poets may sing of love dreams
and life in a cottage, but prac-
tical people will tell you how
much more real is loves awak-
ening and a comfortable house.


If women dreamed less of love
and accepted its wide awake
reality, there would be less dis
appointment and more real hap
piness.


Not until the couple has left
off the dream and turned to the
Joys Of real love and life, do
they understand how perfect
love may make the hearts
peace; but, alas! too often the
awakening comes after the spirit
has flown. So take my advice,
girls, and if you are fortunate
enough to get a steady, honora-
BILE man for a husband, don't
spoil your chances of happiness
by mistaken views. Look upon
getting married" as a part Of
your missiOn.-EX,

4 man once saved a very poor
bov from drowning, and after
his restoration he said to him,
''TVhat can I do Tor you, my
boyI"


Speak a kind word to me
sometimes" replied the boy, as
the tears gushed from his eyes;
q amt got q mother, like some
of them"


A kind word Think of it!
That man had it in his power to
give the boy money, clothes,
toys, but the poor fellow craved
nothing so much as a kind word
now and then. # the man had
ever so little a heart, the boy
must certainly have had the
wish gratified.


A kind world You have ma
ny of them spoken to you daily,
and you don't think much OF
their value, but that poor boy
in your village, at whom every
body laughs, would think he
had found a treasure if some
one would speak a kind word to
him. Suppose you speak 1t 1t, the
next time you meet him. Then
watch him and see how he looks.
See if his eyes do not brighten
and his lips smile. ,


Kind words! They are blessed
things. Speak them every day;
scatter them like sQnbeamS eV-
erywhere. They please others,
and they return to bless your
own heart. t.-tX.

Every boy should have his
head, his heart and his hand
educated. Let this truth never
be forgotten. By the proper ed
ncation of the head, he will be
taught what is good and what
is evil. what is wise and what is
foolish, what is right and what
is wrong. BY the proper edu-
cation of the heart, he will be
taught to love what is good,
wise and right, and to hate what
is evil, foolish and wrong. And
by the proper education Of the
hand, he will be enable to sup
ply his wants, to add to hlS
comforts and TO assist those
around him. The highest ob-
iect of a good education are, to
! reverence and obey God, and to
love and serve mankind. Every
thing that helps us in attaining
these objects is Of great value,
and everything that hinders is
comparatively worthless. When
wisdom reigns in the head, and
love in the heart, the man is
ready to do good; order and
peace reign around, and sin and
sorrow are almost unknown.

single standard of value, and that standard
fixed by those who were speculating upon
the credit of the government. Although the
Democratic party took strong ground against
this policy, . few Thought it did not go far

party was formed. There was popular
craze in its support for time, but since the
sober second thought has been taken the
enthusiasm has subsided, and the

A GREENBACK PRONUNCIAMENTO.


A Washington paper publishes interviews
with the representatives of the National
Greenback party in Congress, in
which they lay down platform which
those who elected them are popularly sup
posed to endorse. In these interviews there
is good deal of that Independence ex-
hibited that is supposed to characterize q
hog on ice. Great pains are taken to prove
that the National Greenback party is
independent of all others, and Furthermore
that they ask no favors from and will grant
none to either of the other parties except for
their own advantage. We certainly admire
the pluck of the party as represented in its
chosen advocates, but have little respect for
the discretion that prompts to such action.


The Greenback party is the creature OF
an accident. It was evolved from an alb
normal condition Of affairs which is not
,;kelv to arise again. The Republican party
had adopted financial policy which alike
disturbed the business of the country at
home and threatened its credit abroad. II

ALL of the refunding certificates author

and there is a cry for more. Even if they
were authorized, however, they could not be
issued in time to be of service to the banks,
who have only month in which to replace

It is not probable, however, that any more

Some of those chaps who wear their
elbows down thin leaning on saloon
counters have an artificial fly with o
fine thread attached to the back, and
sometimes these toys can be handled to
the amusement Of small crowd. When
an unknown man, yesterday, fell asleep
in saloon on Michigan avenue, the
young man with an artificial fly was
there. He took position behind his
victim, who was lying back in his chair,
and presently the fly alightcd on the
strange er's nose, walked up the bridge
and down, and settled for moment on
the tip end. The sleeper never moved
a finger. The fly went over the old
road, dove into the corner OF the left
eye, galloped over to the right, and
came down to the grand stand on the
dead run, but the sleeper slept on. 1t
began to appear that he was used to
flies, and SO the game was changed. By
sticking pin through one of these toys
you can make quite bee OF 1t, the pin
being the stinger.


When the "bee" descended on the
strangers nose everybody expected to
see sudden start, but it did not come.
After a iab at the tip end the bee"
crawled along up, waiting for develop.
ments and getting in an occasional
sting, but not even sigh escaped the
sleeper. The young man with the in
sect was getting tired when the stranger
lazily opened his eyes, slowly rose up
from his chair, and coolly remarked;


Nov, then, il you have got through
fooling with my nose, I'll fool with
yours for awhilel"


It isn't likely that particular young
man will ever dangle artificial flies any
more. He was doubled up, straight
ened out, choked, mopped, and slammed
so thoroughly that his appetite will run
to chicken broth and arnica for some
days TO come. When the cyclone had
passed, the stranger called for gin,
drank it, and said to the white-faced
crowd on the bench:

For every man interested in the
question of immortality we have the
profoundest sympathy. It is ques-
tion which has an intense, abiding in
terest for every thoughtful mind. At
this time, particularly when the immor-
tality Of the soul is questioned more
sharply than il has ever been before in
the history Of Christianity, the pre-
cious faith Of the churches has TO be
fought for with all the weapons that can
be laid hold Of. From the fact that
there is really no evidence of immor-
tality except the resurrection of Christ
Himself, and His declarations, many
minds have reached about them on
every side for everything that offers
help. In the desire to know something
positively about the matter, modern
Spiritualism had its birth and has held
its life. 1t promised to do Just the
thing that millions Of minds desired to
have done; so that, when it assumed to
demonstrate the existence of life after
death, it had a tremendous audience in
readiness for it. The marvel is that
there was man or woman living who
was unwilling to hear what it and its
promulgators had to say. That it has
millions Of believers and followers to-
day is, probably, due less to its real, in
herent strength, than to the greedy
want which it assumes to satisfy--a
want so greedy that it accepts as fact
that which only has its lying semblance.


We are not among those who regard
what are claimed to be the facts Of
Spiritualism as improbable a pr1ori.
No man can read the Bible carefully
without being educated in belief in
Spiritualism. In both the Old and the
New Testament we have multiplied rec
ords OF the communications of spiritual
existences with men and women in the
flesh. The doctrine of demoniacal pos
session is taught with great distinct
ness. The ministry of angels, the re-
turn to the earth of those long dead fa-
miliar intercourse with Christ after His
resurrection, all are in the line of phe-
nomena claimed as genuine by modern
Spiritualists; so that it is not strange
that Christian men and women should
find themselves educated by the Bible
itself into sort of readiness to receive
Spiritualism. 1t is, or would seem to
be, easy for Christian to believe that
visitants from the unseen world are
about him influencing his mind, and
endeavoring to make themselves known
