His Conduct While There-A Revival


OF khe Frank Blair Campaign.


The New Haven Palladium contains
the following statement concerning the
conduct and condition of B. G. Brown
while in New Haven, made by one of
the officials of the hotel where Gov
Brown was stopping:


" Mr.. Brown came to the New Have1,
House late Wednesday night, and went
to bed. What time he got up do not
know, but he went out, [ suppose to
the Yale commencement exercises.
When he came back from there. before
he went to the alumni dinner, he went
to his room and sent down for some
brandy. l. sent him up, before he went
away, three drinks of brandy for which
L received pay. He came back after
the dinner, and between that time and
the time when he made his speech, he
sent down for three more glasses of
brandy, and am not sure but more.
| know that [ sold him six drinks of
brandy, and [ think that I sold him
eight, and he paid me for them. When
he came down to the ofie, before going
to the boat, to pay his BILL [ saw that
he was very drunk. He paid his bill,
however, and then turning to the por-
ter, he said: What in - has this
man donea' (Here followed the con-
yersatlon with the porter, which was
too vile and profane to put in print,
but which the clerk can swear to. A
reporter then stepped up to him and
asked him to look over his notes of the
speech, and Brown replied = I don't
care Cd d-n for any newspaper.
and other expressions of the same sort.
He then started for the side
door, where hack was in
waiting for him. He staggered as he
went along, but finally went away
alone. About fifteen minutes after he
had gone, Governor English came down
stairs and [ said, Governor, Mr..
Brown was rather tight, wasn't heP'
Yes, replied the governor, some
what set up On being asked to state
again what Mr.. Browns condition was,
the reply was, He was boozy drunk.
To be sure that nothing was incorrectly
taken down, our informant listened to
the reading of the notes of what he
had said, as given above, and respond
ed that they were all correct, and that
he was perfectly willing to make an af-
tidavlt to the statement If required. "

ALLCoCK's Porous PIAsTERs.-IrteTnal Lesion
| Cured.-Mr. Thomas after a severe sickness, had
lesion of the liver. Every quick movement or sud
den jar gave him severe pain, often laying him up
for days In this condition he applied the part
affected an Alcock's Porous Plaster, At first it
seemed to irritate, so it was taken OF. But the
marked improvement he experienced afterwards
gave him courage try again and he therefore ap-
piled another plaster. In few days something gave

days after, then his health was perfectly restored

| Piled a towel, which soon became wet he had to

from the part stopped the pain returned, so that

the same effect as the former application. These ap

dock at Whitestone. competent superintendene
was placed in charge, and under his directions
men are employed to board every vessel which
passes the station. IL Is their duty to take the
name OF each vessel and its captain, the port rom
whence 1t sailed and its destination. The men are
divided into day and night watches, so that the
record Is made complete During the period
named the service has been found TO work very
successfully, to which the ship News Department"
Of the NEW YORK HERALD ably testihes. The

I'VE have never hesitated in our Democ-


racy. We do not propose to hesitate now.


So also, we have never been governed or


controlled by ouIconcord with or opposition


70 any individual, party or class. First


comes principle; then comes policy. Beth


of which are good, and should be con-


sidered; principle first. Ifprinciple be your
end and aim, die by it, If policy be your
forte, see to your wisdom that the


time, the occasion and the oppor-
tunity all concur 10 make q success
Of your effort; otherwise policy win die
in the gutter; principle never viii; it may
By possibility be threShed out, but it viii be
brighter and purer by the threShing.


Let the Democracy stand square. We
do not desire TO dictate the policy Of the
Democracy in the next campaign. But we
do say that we must not abandon principle,
or lose the power of party discipline. The
Liberal Republicans of the United States
have an opportunity, by joining in the Lib
eral Republican movement in Missouri, of
showing their faith by their works. If
they wish to put down centralism, to
cabin, crib and confne the Grant tendency
TO despotism, they have now an opportu-
nifty ample and complete. Let them all
come together, fix their party and their
principles; be national and generous; show
that they are working for the public and
not for party, and they will command the
admiration, if not the support, of the people
of the United States. Let them go forward
upon the high principles of the Constitution,
without regard to what the Democracy
or the Grant party may do: then the result
may be that there will be joining of hands
of all those who are opposed to the Grant
party. But the Liberal Republicans of
Missouri, whom we regard as the most pru-
dent and Sagacious of all the Liberal Re
publicans in the Union, must not expect !
the Democracy to follow the dictation of !
discontented Democrats, so called, here,
there or elsewhere in the South. Let
"Duty and Success" be their motto, and |
they may, if they act strictly in accordance
with that motto, perform duty and contri-
butte TO success.

For a long time, it had to be said of the COM
MERcIAL that it was 'the only daily" in the city
and State. This might or might not be a recon-
mendation of it, for excellence in newspapers is
a comparative quality.


But We are now in the second era OF enterpri-
sing journalism in Wilmington. Other dailies
have been, or are about to be established, and
there will presently be three others in the
city, besides the COMMERCIAL. This we regard
as a fortunate circumstance for it. The new
papers are all to be sold at cent copy and
undertake to enter only the very cheapest field
Of public appreciation. The COMMERCIAL re-
mains the only two-cent paper, the oldest, bert
known, most widely circulated, and consequently
most valuable for advertisers. The new papers
leave it in undisputed possession of the field it
entered upon and occupied for five years, with
out competition.


This situation, therefore, is satisfactory, and
gratifying 1t makes the COMMERCIAL not merely
the single occupant Of this journalistic ground,
but gives it the leadership, and prominence

Horace Greeley made Republicans suspicious
Of his sound Judgment, by his frequent odd
offers, first to yield to- and afterward to compro-
mise with, the Rebellion. But, when he went
bail for JEFF Davis, whether he was right or
wrong he set thousands Of earnest and radical
leaders Of the Tribune on a vigilant watch Of
his further movements, and all these now see in
his ridiculous, and totally unreasonable conduct,
only further step in that downward course.
which Seward and Chase took before him.


Another reason why Mr. Greeley cannot pull
any stones from the Republican foundation is
that the local Republican press all over the
country, the county papers" are all faithful
and steady friends of their beloved party and its
principles. We do not know of one which fol-
lows the Tribune, and this shows how complete

The excellence OF Wilmngton's private schools
is becoming known abroad, and the collection OF
students, here, is annually increasing. This
growth may be still further greatly developed
Our city is exceptionally healthy, living is cheap
and access from all parts Of the country is very
easy. The moral tone is high; Temperance
Virtue, and Moderation are the rule of life, and
so firmly established that it will be long before
we take on the dizzy pace Of modern great cities


These are not suppositious facts, but actual
ones. They are good sound, hard reasons why
Wilmington should become great Educational
city, and each one is capable of positive demon
stration. By adding them to the substantial and
thorough educational training which our acade-
mics have established as their rule, we make a
groundwork upon which great results can be
built.


Some things however, need to be done. The
value Of our schools, and the favorable circum-
stances around them, should be made known,
more widely, more persisteDtly. more systemati-
cally. The best advertisement OF an educational
institution are the students who graduate from
1t, it is true, but they ought not to be its only
advertisement.


Our remark, here enforced by the fact that
while our private schools have certainly greatly
multiplied, it is said that they have outrun the
number Of scholars. This is partially true we
hear Of one much-esteemed and excellent /" day
school" teacher, who is about to close her labors
for lack of a sufficiently liberal support This
may easily be 30, il only the children of Will
mington are depended upon, but il the excellence
of these schools were as fully understood, away
from home, as it is here, there would be plenty
OF pupils glad to come to us, aud fill them up.
This is a city set upon hill, and it's light should
not be hid under bushel.


Aud then, again, we must crystalize, ooncen-
trate, organize, our educational forces. Our
academic spirit must be made harmonious, and
trained into higher perfection. Our intellectual
activity must be addressed to practical object.
so that its force and power may be more mani
fest. One means Of accomplishing these end-
can be supplied by the Wilmington Institute. 1t
gives every season, course of lectures. These
should be participated in by all the advanced
schools Of the city, both private and public. Two
or three scores Of people listened to Professor
Cope's admirable scientific lectures, last Fall

The Hartford Times is responsible for the fol-
lowing:


There is in this city dog that can sing. We
state the fact unqualifedly on the testimony of
all the members of the family Of the gentleman
who owns him. The animal in question is q large
mouse-colored greyhound about six or
seven years old. His attempts at singing, though
are certainly not very musical, are unmistakable,
the last two or three years. He does not sing
alone, but when he hears certain members of the
family singing he "joins in" This is more par
ticuar the case with one lady of the house, who,
if she begins to sing when the dog is anywhere
about the place, is pretty certain to obtain
canine accompaniment. If she is heard singing
up stairs and the dog is shut out below, he will
raise a rumpus until he is admitted to the room
where she is, when he will "join in" keeping
very good time, and dkeeping-so we are assured
on the same key, rising with the singer to
the higher notes, IN . kind of blendid whine and
howl, that is yet neither like the voice of Q dog
nor anything else, but showing something of =
musical ear. When he reaches q note too high
he will stop and wait for the cadence Of the sone
to reach ::ie lower nc;es again. In his rising
notes he lfishis head as we'll " his voice. When
his owner enters the room he will Suddenly stop,
and not another note can be got ont Of him while
his master remains. In fact, he dislikes to have
anybody present except the one with whom he
sings. "His voice is improved and he sings bet
ter than he did" He may yet sing with Nilsson.

AN ERA OF HONESTY IN Politics BEGIN
NING.-In New York it was supposed to be hope
less task to fight against the corrupt agents OF

were SO many and well paid that the honest side

fairs and the peoples cause will>be maintained
with equal zeal without the corrupt appliances
employed by Tammany. The Indications are
that an era of honesty in politics is beginning.
Now is the time to secure such q condition Of
things as q permanency. If we continue the
present low salaries we shall find good and hon.
est men to accept positions for q short time, but
they will gradually withdraw to secure the great

BRIGHAM YOUNG's FAMILY.-Among the most
interesting sights to be at the theatre i'm Salt
Lake City is the young army of Youngs, the
Prophets progeny, who generally occupy the
benches along one side of the parapet. Boys and
girls, young men and women, apparently without
number, ranging in years from seven to twenty,
play and sport with each other like so many kit
tens. Finer or healthier specimens of humanity
you cannot find anywhere. The male portion are
strong and healthy, and robust; the females are
very womanly looking, with clear complexions
and bright eyes. They have all splendid teeth
and beautiful heads of hair. The girls are very
roguish, and are not at all averse to levelling
their opera-glasses upon any handsome and noted
Gentle who may be present. They seem to ap-
preciate return glances and then laugh and gig
gle over the fun like a lot Of school girls.


Getting a full view Of the family Of the Prophet
and dissecting them mentally and physically, the
unprejudiced thinker cannot agree with those
philosophers who assert that the offspring of
ploygamic marriages are weak and puny crea-
lures. That such may be the ease in some in
stances may be true; but il, in no sense, can ap-
ply to the Young family.

suit will leave here tomorrow noon via the North
Missouri Railroad for Kansas City. Thence they

they will spend two three days hunting buffalo.
This change in the original plan has been caused
by the recent fall of snow in the region more

route the heart of the buffalo range can be pene-
trated by rail, and long horseback or ambulance
ride avoided. The special train that brought the
party here has been crossed over the river and

rangements made especially for the occasion. On
their return from Kansas the Grand Duke and

this trip the steamer Great Republic, the largest

receive them either here or at Cairo, according to

EDITORS AND READERs.-Every experienced
member of the press will recognize the truth of
what the Worid says regarding the quality Of the
matter that is demanded by the great mass of
readers and it is sufficient answer to those half
dozen scholarly subscribers, each paper period
ical may have, who nre always complaining that
the papers publish SO much "trash." The papers
do not publish it because they take delight in that
sort of thing; do the editors select it-for pub
LEGATION because it meets their appreciation. 1t
is because the public demand it, and will have
that or nothing. We know great many of our
brethren of the press who have undertaken to re-
form the public taste, but We have never yet
heard of any Of them succeeding. When all the
men and women i'm the land become scholars and
people Of cultivated taste the standard Of lit
erature will be correspontlingly elevated, we sup
pose; but MS the world wags at present, we hope
for very little change, and magazines and papers
