It is doubtful if the ordinary modes of travel educate mans mind to any alarming extent. He treads the path trod by thousands he goes generally because it is the thing to do; he sees the prescribed sights, and rarely has the courage to break away from the leading strings of the guide. If man is young, and has little more energy and vim than the ordinary, beautiful but frail society man, there are few better ways of seeing the country than as Bayard Taylor first saw Europe-on foot. But young men who travel gen orally have more cash than energy, and 1t is hard for a young man blighted by the shadow of a voluminous bank book to take much fun or much education out of travel. Two young Americans who seem to be an exception to the general rule, are now " doiDg' Europe in sail boat, and when the strange fact is taken into consideration that large rivers invariably twist them

 selves round so as to pass the large cities; the young men see a great deal of both town and country life. They bought large boat in London last winter. Crossed in it to Holland, pushed their way up the Rhine to Magenie, and there finding the canal leading to the Danube frozen, put their craft on railway truck and had it car ried to Regessburg. In March they resumed their voyage, descending the Danube to the Black Sea, and sailing from Varna to Constantinople. Their next course will be to Greece and the Archipelago. These young men will no doubt pick up information and ex- perience that cannot be gained by the average tourist with an excursion ticket in his pocket.-DetroH Free Press.

The incorporation of the Silver Nugget Mining Company under the laws of the State of New York, has already been noticed in these col. umns. This, we believe, is the first company for silver mining that has been incorporated under the laws of that State. The men at the head of this company are very prominent both in influence and capital. This corpor- ation is receiving extensive editorial comment in many of our most influen- tial and wide circulating journals, and the attention of mining men will be directed to Arizona with greater effect than ever before.

 Speaking of this company the New York Mining Record says: "The Board, it will be seen, is an exception ally strong one, and it is fortunate for the future of mining enterprises in the Territory that look to this city for it's capital, that it is so. The progress of the company will. b. viewed with much interest, and if it is as success ful as it promises to be, there is little doubt that Arizona mines will herein after be warmly supported by New York capitalists.

Mir. J. H. Helm, General Superin- tendent of the Tiger mine, arrived in town last evening from the Bradshaw and in a short interview with him we elicited from him the following in re- gard to that celebrated ore deposit and the work being carried on for its development. The company have about

Good ore continues to come out of the mine at the 400 foot level and large quantities are now waiting treat ment in the new mill which will be completed and running by the 18th of May. The new prospect shaft is be- ing sunk steadily and the wOrkmen are now under the ground 130 feet. This shaft will be run down nine hun dred feet deep, when they will run al tunnel east about seventy-five feet to- the lead.

The vicissitudes of fortune are quite forcibly exemplified in a brief story told us yesterday. At the station of Texas Hill, in Arizona, a short time ago, NIT. G. w. Chapman, mail messen- ger between this city and the end of the track, met former acquaintance, in a somewhat dilapidated and dis tressed appearing condition. Sub sequent condolences revealed to MT. Chapman that his friend had partly prepared for prospecting tour, but owing to some misunderstanding the persons who had agreed to put up the necessary coin did not fulfill their part of the contract, and he was in dire need of money. MT. Chapman for the sake of auld lang syne, gave his friend fifty dollars. He had almost forgotten that his friend had promised him a third of the result of his discoveries for his kindness, when he was made the recipient of something like $500 as the first installment of some odd that will shortly fall to him as his portion. The act done in simple kindness was a most singular verifica- ton of the injunction least your bread upon the waters" etc.-Los Angeles Star, April 10.

AMERICAN LOVE for fair play has sell
dom been more severely tested than in
the remarkable contest that terminated
on Saturday wight in New York. 1t is
probable that half million of money
was laid on the result, and the temper
of the crowd was soured early in the
week by the breaking down of OLeary,
upon whom the hopes OF SO many had
been placed. Nevertheless there was
no unusual disturbance, and the Eng,
lishman was loudly cheered as he left
the track. After O'Leary had paid
the penalty of his ill-timed excesses
there was little hope of the retention o.

Ennis has shown himself a rival not tt

The majority in the House yesterday
gave q specimen Of its partisan temper
by promptly seating Hull, instead Of
Bisbee, from the disputed district in
Florida. The latter's right to his seat
is no less substantial thap that Of Mr..
Randall himself, and the so-cslled cleo
ton of Hull was a fraud Of the most
palpable character. But the Democratic
ma ority is too small to permit the par
ty TO indulge in the luxury Of justice.
Mr.. Frye's motion to refer the claims Of
both men to the Committee Of Elections
was defeated by only three votes, four
teen Green backsrs voting with the Re.
publicans, and this fact Of itself ex plains
the precipitation with which the Dem.
ocrats have acted. 1t is hardly nsc.s-
sary to say that Mr.. Hull was obliged
to take the modified oath, and that he
holds his seat by a tenure which will
make him an unquestioning and oLedi-
ent member Of the majority. The only
consolation for such acts Of gross par
tisan tyranny is that each one make
still more direct and complete the re.
sponsibility Of the Democratic party,
and renders it easier for the country to
form 4 correct judgment Of its conduct
and tendencies.

A special meeting Of the Board Of
Education was called last evening at 8
o'clock, for the purpose of taking action
upon request made by about twenty OF
the teachers that they be permitted to
attend the New Castle County Teach
ers' Institute in Middletown on Friday.
1t was intended to take the same action
as decided upon last year-that of per-
hitting teachers to attend the Institute
and allowing them wages, the same as
though they had taught on that day.
Tie meeting was a failure, and up to
9 O'Clock six members and four report

THE Democratic State Central
Committee has called a State Con-
vention to meet at Sacramento on
the 9th of May. There never was
q time when the Democracy should
show bolder front to all its ad-
versaries than now. Great mum.
bers of men of its own household
have combined to deliver it over to
its natural enemies. If any party
has ever demonstrated anything
the Democracy have shown, time
and time again, that it has higher
objects and aspirations than mere
success. What is needed is manly
platform and good candidates,
leaving the issue to fortune. Pluck
and directness of purpose have
often snafched victory from circum-
stances far more discouragipg than
those which now confront the
Democracy. There is ample time
between now and next fall for
Democrats who have wavered, to
realize that in a national party
only is there any hope for great po-
litical reform.

A woman may be handsome, or re- markedly attractive in various ways but if she is not personally neat she can not win admiration. Fine clothes will not conceal the slattern. A young wo- man with her hair always in disorder and her clothes hanging about her, as if suspended from prop, is repulsive. Slattern is written upon her person from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet, and if she wins husband he turns out in all probability either to be an idle fool or drunken ruf1ian. The bringing up of daughters to work, talk and act like sensible young women is the special task of all mothers, and in indus trial ranks there is imposed also the prime obligations of learning to respect household work for its own sake and the comfort and happiness it will bring in the future. Housework is drudgery, but it must be done by somebody and had better be well than ill done.

while he might carry Indiana on soft

won't boom a. all. Democratic Union
Generals are such a queer anomaly IN
politics that they are never popular
with the soldiers, the very class OF peo-
pie with whom they should be in har-
mony. Under these circumstances the
boom for Bayard comes booming over
the country, simply because the recent
elections have knocked all the boom
out of Thurman, Tilden and Hendricks,
and the Democrats have started the
Bayard boom simply in their despara-
tion to get candidate, and Bayard mas
been the man thsy have fallen back on
because they could get no better one.
The boom will not amount to anything
even if Mr.. Bayard should be nomina-
ted. Under the great effort OF the rebel
brigadiers in Congress and a solid rebel
South to subjugate the freedom loving
North, the people of this nation will
hardly elect a man 70 the Presidency
who was elated with rebel victories
during the war, and corresponding'y
melancholy when the Union arms
triumphed. The fact that MIR. Bayard
at the outset Of the war was in COM
mand of military company that had
to bs disarmed on account of its well
known disloyal:y, aud the further fact
that Mr.. Bayard represents State
where about one third of the people are
virtually disfranchised by oppressive
and discriminating laws, with no pro-
test from him by word or deed, will
take all the starch out of the present
Bsyard boom, and will defeat him for
the Presidency if he is made the Demo

MOB SPIRIT az shown in the outrageous
conduct OF gang of roughs on the
evening of the appearance OF Barnum' 4
circus in our city, seems to be on the
increase, and if not speedily and effect
ually checked will result in more Sc
rious consequences than were so hap
pily averted through the influence of
the police on Wednesday evening.
The circus company after having an
nounced their intention to visit Will
mington, and having paid to the city
the license fee required by the city or
dinances, was entitled to all the pro-
lection which could be afforded by the
police department, and if this was not
sufficien to quell the mob spirit that
prevails, the Mayor should swear in
special police that not only the circus
company but citizens might bs protect
ed. The morality or immortality of a
circus does not enter into this subject,
but the question is whether circus or
anything else coming to Wilmington
that is not prohibited and after having
paid the usual license fee, shall be pro-
tected or whether they shall be allow
ed to be insulted, assaulted and out
ragged by gang Of drunken roughs who
because they cannot pay their way in
to a circus, brutally assault the al
taches and performers. We hope that
hereafter the Mayor will take the mat.
ter in hand in time and appoint suf-
ficient force of specials to aid the regu-
