!From tbs Totedo Btodo.l MR. NARBY GIVES A DESCRIPTION OF THS DEMOCRACY OF DELAWARE WITH WHOM HR IS ASSOCIATED—THE BEGINNING OF THE ORGANIZATION OF THE “ WHITE MAM'S PARTY” OF THAT STATE. Mirrw'i Comma, Morruom nrroann, ) m ths Bt*ti or DsLawaaa, > JaaaSAtsro. I The people uv the State uv Delaware, or rather the Democrisy uv Delaware, come newer to my idee uv wat Dlmocrata ought to be than any I hev ever come across yit The Kentuckian is good, but I hev seen Kentuckians who wuz restless and dieoontenttd. I hev knowd uv Kentuckians who did take stock in railways, who did now and then nail up the clapboards on their houses when they had become loose, and who did wear shoes in summer. But no Dimocrat uv Delaware wuz ever knowd to do anything uv the kind. They are an intensely religious people, with a faith in Providence wich I never saw surpassed. They bleeve that the same Providence wich brot em into this world will take keer uv cm, and they let him do it with an easin is and abandon wich to me is dclitefuL The most satistyin spectacle my eyes ever restid onto is the front porch uv Rapp’s grocery at this present time. There they set, leanin back on them unwhittled chairs, (no Delaware Democrat ever whittles) with their feet onto the rail in front uv em, each with his head layin flatwise on the wall, and all fast asleep. All is still! The flics buzz pacefttlly about their noses, which ornaments tempt them by their joocyness, but repel 'em by their red-hot brillaincy. Like everything else about this section the flies is an undecided lot But ever and anon one fly, more hungry than his fellows, lites on the nose uv some slumberin patriarch ; he bites; the Saint makes an exertion to brush him efi and awakes. Awakin he takes a drink wich awakes all the rest who also take a drink, after wich they go to sleep agin. Sapp loves flies and sez he’s makin experiments on a more lively breed, a more darin and enterprisin fly wich’ll keep ’em awoke more uv the time. Ov coarse we hevn't got no railroads.— There wuz one projected thro’ this section but the citizens wuz horrified at the idc Mfc . “ Wat t" said they, “ shel we hev a screechin ingin to keep from hffvin our reglar afternoon and forenoon nap? Never I” “ But,” said the projectors. “ it’ll increase the valyoo of yoor real estate." “ Real wat ? ” asked these innocents. “ Real estate—land." “ Wat good would that do us; ” replied the sturdy yeomanry, “when nobody wants to sell?" and they would hev stoned the railroad party, had it been a cool day so that the exertion of gettin the stones woodent hev worried em. Bill Snap wuz so pleased at the spirit they showa that all that day he kept the flies off uv em hisself while they slept, wich they did ez soon cz the railroad party Wtiz out uv site. I not Ist one uv em a layin on the broad uv his back, the other day, a swallerin oysters wich a nigger boy wuz openin. “Sammy," sez this youth’s parent to him, the old man a lyin on his back the while, “Sammy, its a merciful arrangement that oysters aint got no legs, aint it, Sammy ?” “I don’t see that,” sed Sammy, “es they had legs there’d be more meat into em?’ “Yes; but, my son,” returned thj§ ajjcient, “es j C g 8 an( i ghood yoose em ever £s' little, we 'd never git an We arc ez bizzi ez we kin be arrangtn for the campane this fall.

In the ‘ inMoin campane the “ White Man’s Party’" will bear onto their tanners the follerin inskripshens: “No nigger votin—The ballot in the hands uv the intelligent race—No free skools —The whip pin post forever—The constooshen ez it wuz, Delaware ez it is, forever.” I made the reglar skriptooral argyment, interdoosin Canaan, Hager and Onesymus, wich, however, didirt hev much effect ez none uv em hed ever heerd uv these ii.dividooals. I wuz disconcerted somewhat when wun uv em askt me es Canaan wuzn’t one uv them cussed Radikels in Wilmington. Bill Sapp, however, got their attenshun when he mentioned the fact to show their entire worthlessness ez citizens, that the entire nigger trade at his bar didn’t amount to a hundred dollars a year, wich wuz less than any one uv the proud Caucashen race eypexiued with him. Mordeky Bender bore testimony to the alarmin ignorance em, wich totally onfits em for;tJij|Jflfih*t’ after wich I wuz rekested by jjtne meetfn to put the resolooshuns passed onterjJaper, ez the Secretary coodn’t write.

We returned home jjwo a village in wich the niggers hev a majority wich wuz forchunit, for there a site met our vision wich not only enthused the vetrans of the party f but strengthened the doubters and confirmed the waverin. Rite there in that village, facin the whippin-post, that timehonored institooshn wich Radikelhm seeks to destroy, t hese degraded'beins hed ercctid a shool-house, wich we wuz informed wuz being run by nigger preachers uv the Methdist persuasion. It wuz brite moonlite, and thro the winders we cood see the accusid spellin books, damnable slates, and another innovashen, a wash-bowl and towel, the latter on a roller. In our richus indignashen we would hev burnt it to the ground,-but unforchnitly none nv us had a match, and ez the neerest house where we cood get one wuz perhaps 40 rods out uv our way, the exe> shen wuz considered too revere for the good to be attained.

Exetting Encounter with a Horse.

One of the most exciting scenes and terrific encounters that It has ever been our privilege to record occurred at the ford near Loutre Lick last week. The facts as we received them from an eyewitness are these. On last Saturday evening Mr. Thomas Moore and a gentleman by the name of Thompson, residing in lower Loutre township, were returning home from Danville, ana stopping at the ford of Loutre, proposed to take a bath and water their horses. Mr. Moore was riding a fractious mustang pony. He started into the water with her and when he had ridden in to where the water was nearly deep enough to swim her, the pony commenced rearing and plunging, ana finally succeeded in throwing Mr. Moore. In the fall Moore received an ugly wound on his right ankle and foot from a stroke by the forefoot of the pony, which somewhat disabled him for awhile. The pony reared up with her fore feet entirely above the water, made a dart at Moore which would have ended the fight then and there bad not Moore, quick as thought, darted under her body, came out in her rear, and made for the shore as fast as his arms and legs could carry him. The pony saw him, and with the blood running from her nostrils, in her fury and excitement, and the devil in her eye, she wheeled and made another plunge at him, which was avoided by Moore diving into the water and swimming some distance under water. This time Moore reached the tank in safety, but had no time to allow the grass to grow under his feet. The pony was after him immediately, and an exciting race took place on the bank for the distance of about fifty yards, when Moore was compelled to take to the water again to save his bacon. Ho seized a stout club and jumped off the tank into the deep water, the pony following. He swam rapidly to a log lying about midway the creek, and mounting it, he gave the pony a severe blow on the head as she came up in hot pursuit. This seemed to cool her excited feelings, and she started back for the shore. Now the pursued became the pursuer, and Moore, soon overtaking the pony, mounted, and after administering several severe blows on the head of the pony with his club, succeeded in conquering her. The battle was short but severe. Moore says his pony may go dirty hereafter; he does not intend to wash her again by swimming.—Montgomery (Mo.) Standard.

Dissatisfaction.

We hear a good deal said in the Democratic and quasi Republican papers about the dissatisfaction of the people with the administration of President Grant. When traced up, however, the only source for all this talk is found in the growlings of some disappointed politicians, or the howlings of some demagogues who imagine that they can see in the early future a reorganization of parties, and strike out in that direction, hoping to bo leaders in coming political strifes. To such men, and those who are under their personal Influence, is this great dissatisfaction confined. With the masses the confidence in the President is undisturbed. His entire freedom from demagoguery, and straightforward, business like manner in transacting the affairs of the Government, commend him to all thinking men as a not unworthy successor to the lamented Lincoln. In his distribution of he has come asjiQifginfsfying the general PhWAj, ITnot the politicans, as perhaps 'any of his predecessors. If in the selection of men for important positions he has not always chosen those whom the people best knew, their adaptation and fitness for the places assigned them have generally demonstrated the wisdom of his choice. His administration has been one of business, and not of buncombe. General Grant never had any great reputation in “Fourth of July business." His reputation rests rather on his practical exploits on the field, which showed courage, patriotism, persevcrence and excellent judgment. There were; perhaps, more brilliant soldiers in the army than General Grant, but none combined these elements of sure success to such eminent degree as he. These were the qualities, patent to his countrymen which made him the man of their choice, and which, as displayed in his civil administration, will make it no less popular than his military career. To reduce the public debt $100,000,000 or more per annum in time of commercial depression may or may not indicate statesmanship and foresight, but it will give the people confidence in the administration that does it It may exasperate those whose sympathies for peoples struggling to be free would lead to the espousal, of their cause, to find the administration pursuing a more conservative course; but when the “sober second thought” comes, after passion has cooled, they will respect the more superior wisdom of an administration which kept us out of foreign wars, and yet made its influence felt for freedom the world over—an administration which had the courage to oppose itself to popular clamor and defeat the demagoguery of its own friends. The history is being written in characters that the people themselves will read. — Cincinnati Chronicle.

What the Administration Has Accomplished.

In looking over the work Of the Administration, it will be found that, since Congress assembled, fifty millions and. more of the public debt have been wiped out, and that the month of June alone nas seen twenty millions disappear. It will be found that the expenses of the Army, Navy, Postofflce, and every other department.have been greatly reduced, and a system of retrenchment adopted. It Will be further found that the revenues have been largely increased by an honest collection, as well as from the generally prosperous Condition of the country. All these things are facts accomplished. They rest on ho surmise—they are predicated on nobody’s guess dr assumption, but stand of record as the silent witnesses of work well done. So of all the ordinary legislation of the country. It has gone forward with reasonable expedition, and to the general satisfaction of the countty. But upon some subjects Congressmen have differed among themselves, and in a few cases have differed with the President ; and yet there has been no interruption in the general harmony in and good feeling toward the Administration, in all its parts. The subjects of difference and consequent delay have been chiefly upon some details of the tariff, the form of a funding bill, especially as it might affect the National banks; and as to the proper policy to be observed in respect to Cuba, and the purchase of San Domingo. These are the most important measures involving differences of opinion, or even looking like a division to the outside world. The personal squabbles of two or three members, over matters of no public importance, indicate nothing more than a little party temper exhibited to .the amusement of the Compare, then, what has been done, with the work of past sessions, and it will be found that history only repeats itself—that every measure involving no particular doubt or dispute has gone steadily forward throughout the session, the same as heretofore, but that, on a very few questions, members have differed just as they have differed at every session in the past. That is all there is to it The clap trap nonsense that Congress ctn legislate to raise

tha price of mln, or mret the maturing note of the citizen at the bank, is the last run and resort of the demagogue, and can deceive no one possessed of ordiHMv intelligence. All that is possible hMwen to reduce taxation, retrench ent off unnecessary allowances vide for the redaction of ths public debt; and all this has been accomplished. What more could reasonably have been asked or expected? And how much nearer success would thq chronic grumbler have come If he had tried?— Chieigo RepuUican, July 8.

How a Retainer was Lost.

Next to getting a retainer in cases pending before the it is perhaps most important to remember which side you are retainer for. One of the attorneys in the New Britain railroad case, a week or two ago, observing that a New London gentleman who was “ doing a little something tn the lobby,” had business which required him to spend a day in the company "of a member of the Railroad Committee, in the trial of a case, said to the New London gentleman, “You will be with Mr. all day Monday, and will have an excellent opportunity to talk with him about the New Britain Railroad 1 case, and yon may consider yourself re-, tained in it.” “ All right," said the other, “ I will attend to it? The next Tuesday, when the New London gentleman returned to New Haven, he was met by the railroad man with the inquiry: . * "Did you spend the day with Mr. “ Yes.” “Well, what did he say about our case?” “ Well; he didn’t seem inclined to talk about It very much.” “ Do you suppose he’s for us?” “I—l—l—well —I couldn’t quite make out.” “ You don’t think he’s against us, do you ?” “ N-n-o—l—l—d-o-n-t k n o-w as he is I couldn’t get much out of him about it." “ Well,” Mid the railroad man, “ von talked with him about it, didn’t you ? You sounded him ?” The New London man hesitated a moment, stammered a little, and then broke out into a laugh. “ The fact is,” said he, “ I didn’t say anything about it. I opened the subject by asking him if the case was concluded, and had got all ready to tackle him on the merits, when it occurred to me all at once that I didn’t know which side of the case you were on, and, of course, couldn’t tell which I was retained for, ana there I was.” “ Well, what did you do ?” “ Do ?” said the New Londoner, " what eo«M Ido? I dropped the subject right there. But never mind,” he added, “ I shan’t charge you anything for the work I did.” This is the most remarkable case I have yet heard of. Other members of the lobby are a good deal exercised over the New London man’s violation of all precedents in making no charge for his services.— Cor. Hartford, Conn., Pott.

Want of Ventilation.

The usual modes of warming buildings are attended by many evils, which directly affect the health and lives of our fs.Tnilios, who are ohlywf Co remain within doors by far the greater pajt of the time. The entire absence of the means of ventilation [in most cases, add the failures which have followed most attempts in this direction, make the subject pne of the most vital importance. Bad air is a dow poisoa; that is the trouble. People go oh taking it into their lungs day after day and night after Eight. They grow pale, their lungs suffer, the circulation is languid, they take colds readily; the chest, the stomach, the skin become disordered, and a host of chronic diseases attack them. A little carbonic acid taken every day does net kill a man. It is almost a pity it don’t. • If a red-hot stove or a furnace destroyed instantly one man in every town daily for a week, there might be some salvation for the nation. If, instead of fainting away in crowded and badly ventilated public assemblies, people occasionally died outright in convqisions, the authorities would take the matter in hand, and make it penal for the owners of such buildings to open them for public use without attending to the proper conditions for the preservation of health. When a thing is only a slow poison, the age is in too much of a hurry to attend to it. Thousands of dollars are lavished on luxuries and superfluities, while the air in our dwellings is poisoned and burnt by heating arrangements whose only recommendation is that they are cheap. In other words, our wealth’est men are too poor to afford pure air for themselves and families. The vital life element is supplied in their green-houses and conservatories regardless of expense, while scions of the human stock, buds and blossoms of immortality, are permitted to wither and decay in the sickly atmosphere produced by stoves and hot air furnaces.—Wew York Evening Pott.

A Young Man Shares His Fortune with a Disinherited Brother.

Tbn—yes fifteen—years ago, says the Kansas City TYmw, there lived in St. Joseph a family by the name of Adams, the head of which was a stern, obstinate, though kind old gentleman, on whom the snows of fifty winters had touched but lightly. He was wealthy, but what he prized far above all was the pride of hi* old age—two nobib boys, George and Frank, aged respectively 18 and 30. Time in its ceaseless flight passed on, dropping around the contented family only the days of life free from sorrows. The' war came on—the terrible strife, in which brother was arrayed against brother and father against son. Mr. Adams was an uncompromising Union man, and his eldest son, George, espoused his father’s cause and enlisted in the Federal army. Frank had imbibed altogether different ideas, and joined the forces in defence of the South, under Wm. Y. Slack. When his father learned of the course taken by the younger, his rage knew no bounds. He sent him word to return ct he was no longer heir to his broad acres or a recipient of his love. His son replied that he had chosen his course, and no inducement would cause him- to surrender his principles. The old gentleman's action was prompt—he drew up his will leaving hie youngest son • penniless. The war continued, each of the brothers fighting valiantly in defense of their different banners. Peace once more blessed the land, and the eldest son returned home, while the younger located in this city, and by his genial manner, courteous bearing and dose attention to business, gained hosts of friends. His whereabouts was unknown to either fathet or brother, and, though he loved them both, his pride would not permit him to return to a home from which he had been cut off in a moment of passion. The old gentleman was gathered home to his fathers, and his eldest son became sole heir to his wealth. And now comes the strange part of the story. George was no sooner in possession of AK property than he made diligent search for his brother, and after a time traced Aim to this eity. The meeting between the brothers occurred only last week, and was both cordial and affecting. The eldest caused a deed of half his estate to be made. out in favor of his younger brother,' and forced the acceptance upon him, Bwh B

spirit la nobis, mad and magnanimous, therefore, we girt St. Joe the credit u stated above. The incident is true, as per* sons in both cities can testify.

The Wheat Crop of 1870.

From the official report of the Department of Agriculture, dated Washington June 17, we extract the following: “ Freezing-out" haa not been general or very serious in ita result*. The winter was mild, and comparatively uniform, during ita earlier montha especially. February and March, the moat critical period for injury by freezing, were stormy and cool, with far more of snow than the preceding months, affording protection against changes. In view of the genflWriildness and openness of the winter, from which severe winter-killing might naturally be expected, the exemption is striking. In many instances this exemption is evidently due to the use of the ddUl, which plants the grain more uniformly than the brush or hrtMr used in broadcast sowing. Abun has this spring been to prove that the wheat. it annually worth militant the agriculture of thia country. Vaining has also been a means or preventing loss by freezing. Whereever winter-killing has occurred it has been in isolated patches, not throughout whole counties or broad belts of country; it has been due more to condition of soil than to extreme or frequent changes of temperature; it has been seen in stiff soils, in hollows where water stands on the surface, in half pulverized soils, and in fields where the seed was scattered upon the surface. Very few good farmershave occasion this spring to complain of the effect of frost, yet there has been some loss, considerable in the aggregate, as there is each year, but scarcely as much as the years will average. Among the great grain fields of the West the severest injury from grain killing was in Illinois. Here, as elsewhere, early drilled wheat on carefully prepared, dry or drained soils, escaped injury. Poisonous and scorched air taken into the lungs is quite aa injurious as bad food taken into the stomach. Parties interested in this subject can obtain a pamphlet describing the best mode of securing an atmosphere in their homes during the winter as pleasant and healthful as that of June by addressing Baker, Smith <fc Co., 151 Greene street, New York, or 127 Dearborn street, Chicago, 111. The apparatus is perfectly safe, can be managed by an ordinary domestic, and is equally adapted to old and new houses.

A Broadside for Humbugs.

Incompetence and assurance generally go hand in hand, and of all the tribe of pretentions knownothings with which society is afflicted, the unscientific “medicine men” who attempt to tamper with the health of the community are the most dangerous and the most Impudent. So much by way of Text. Now for a special and particular application. It appears that a mushroom growth of so-called “Bitters,” is springing up under different names in various localities, particularly in the Southern and Western States, which the venders have the hardihood to recommend to easy-going people upon whom they think they can Impose, as a substitute for Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, long recognized by every class as the purest and best medicated stimulant and invigorant the world affords. The concoctions referred to being composed of worthless material, offer a larger margin for profit than that Celebrated Tonic, and hence the anxiety of dollar worshipping dealers to foist them upon the pnb’lc in its place. But “ forewarned is forearmed,” and all parties whom these distinguished (I) beings are endeavoring to coax and inveigle into substituting trash for a standard remedy, are hereby informed of the selfish and sordid motives which underlie the representations in question. The great popularity and vast sales of Hostetter’s Bitters cannot, of course, bi seriously Impared by these “tricks of trade.” but as the debilitated and suffering have a direct Interest in the matter, it Is only an act of common humanity to put them on their guard.
