Miss Hosmer, in a letter to a friend In New York, expresses, though with extreme good nature and womanly kindness, her amazement at the pretensions put forward by Mr. Chapman to a share in the invention of her new motor. She cites Mr. Chapman's own words and conduct while abroad to show that nothing was less to have been expected of him by her, but she is preparing a thorough and careful statement of the whole case, she very properly declines to deal with it at all until that statement is ready "for publication. To this we may add that, under the judicious advice of Mr.

W. W. Story, Miss Hosmer long ago took steps of a nature to make it impossible for any person to interfere successfully with her claims to the credit of this discovery, which she believes herself and which her friends believe her to have compassed. .4 THiOLKT, ran through the salaries of onr foreign micisters, and they be compelled to live more economical lives. The attention of Congress has been directed to this matter, but they find it no easy task to regulate these salaries to correspond with the ideas of a Republican government." Crisfield Leader "The principals in the great Peninsula tragedy Philip Tin-cent, William Newcombe and Mrs.

Dodson have been acquitted. The verdict of the jury may bi in accordance with the evidence, bpt it is not with the demands of justice." Middletown Transcript "Wo pre. sume that the verdict in this case will not altogether meet the approval tf sorre Northern journals which watch Delaware with a sharp eye. The conviction of a negro or tha acquittal of a white nun always brings down their hot shot on "Delaware justice," but we have got bo used to being blackguarded that we should feel dreadfully lonesome without an occasional dose of abuse from those who take such a profound interest in our little State." A presumption verified at once by the Kennett Advance, which says "This travesty ou justice is explained I the contempt in which colored people ase held in the ilttve States.

The Cecil Democrat reviews Senator Blaine's speech of last Wednesday and says that 'as the champion of equal rights he hopes to atonse a tide of public fet ling strong enough to bear him to the White House. The weakness of the Republican position is apparent when we recall the fact that Hayes was elected, if elected at all, by Southern negro voted, and it is a notorious fact that there was far less disturbance at the South this fall than in the fall of 187G. The Republicans care nothing for the negro since they oan no longer use him. Could they control th Northern Dauiocratio dintricts they would bury the 'bloody shirt' for all time. They fail to recall the wise utterances of Governor Andrew, and the Richmond speech of Senator Morton, or the recent remark of Mr.

Hayes that 'the intelligence of a country ought to run The possible failure of Sherman's resumption Mihemes warns them to have ready an effective battle-cry. Blaine has supplied it. He bhoald guard carefully, however, lest Grant may after all tseize the prize for which he is striving, for, unless the signs are misleading, a 'bloody shirt campaign with money' with lirant in the lead idthe Radictl prolamine for 1880. Henry Clay was a mighty mau in bis day, but he never readied the Presidency. James G.

Blaine will hardly be more fur tunate." The Cambridge Neu cotnplaiiis of onerous taxation, for which it ilauies the Republicans, who are in power iu that section, and wants to know how the farmers, who pay three-tiftua of those taxes, are to raise the necessary cash with corn selling at 37 cents, wheat about $1. and pork from 4 to cents per pound. The Dover Delawarean thus exliorts the next Legislature: "We again call attention to some legislation oi a general character which ought to be had at the next session. 1. The collection of taxea is too costly.

Some plan should be devised to conect this. 2. The license system should be revised, and some changes made therein. Some occupations, now requiring license, should be relieved of that tax entirely, and the license reduced on others. We have not time at present to specify, but are sure, if attention can be given to the subject, some errors will be corrected in this regard.

Persons peddling oytters, and small dealers in other things, might be relieved without much loss to the revenues of the State. We simply, however, call attention to the subject without intending to do more at present." The Delawirean also proffers a little advice to the Delaware Gazette, saying "The Delawire Gazette harps occasionally on the Dover Post Office. We should think the Gazette would get out of the old grooves and not find fault with everything and everybody outside of its own office. If the editor of the Gazette will pay our little town a visit we shall be delighted to take him to the Post Office and show him through the building, by the permission of our worthy postmaster, and we know he would be pleased with its arrangement for the convenience of all concerned. We like the economy advocated by the Gazette but don't admire that parsimony and stinginess which would deprive everybody of a little comfort." Referring to Senator Blaine's late outburst the Ddawarean.

says that it will fail of its purpose, and neither "promote his own political advancement, nor increase the confidence of the country in the party of which he is a 1 ader. Mr. Garfield, of the House of Representatives, a far stronger man than Blaine, said, in debate. on the day before Blaine was to make his speech in substance, that all efforts of this sort would react upon their author. It is believed that these utterances of Garfield were made in view of the action of Blaine in introducing his resolution, and his avowed purpose to speak upon them, and were intended as an expression of his own disapproval of the action of the Senator from Maine.

Certain it is that in the present embarrassment of business, when the country needs repose from agitation, the discussion ot party questions to the neglect of legiti mate business will find but little favor from thoughtful and considerate men." The Republicans "would doubtless, at once, if they could, deprive the negro of the right to vote in order to lessen the political strength of the South, but until this can be done they are seeking for some wa whereby they can nullify the effect of their own Mind party zeal, which conferred upon negroes political rights. Blaine hoped to arouse opposition in the North to the increased strength of the South, and Hence bis speech. ltiree newspapers are published Centreville, Md. the Record, Observer and Citizen. The town has a total population of 1.152 inhabitants, all told.

On the 5th instant, W. Scott Roberts, of the Record, reduced his subscription price from $1.50 to $1. W. W. Busteed, of the uoserver, at once saw mm ana went a qaarter better, reducing h's paper to 75 cents.

The Citizen says this price won't pay; the necessary patronage to make it do so "is not in the wood." "We may have to come down also," it continues, 'but if we do we shall not kick truth around at a lively rate, and say we do so puiely from love to our subscribers. We shall do so against both our wish and judgment, and simply because circum stances compel it. So there, if you love the truth, you have got it and when you pay us your $1, just remember that we have an idea that we are minus jurjt fifty eeriU somewhere in this fight'" The Peninsular Ntwt has a long editorial eulogy of fiat money, in which it says: "But, say the lackers for the goldites this is du-honest. It is dishonest to pay off debts promised in coin, in paper If it is, then give the backs coin instead of paper, see how much they will prefer demonetized coin to monetized, legal tender greenbacks But do you say the Constitution is in the way of demonetizing gold and silver. The Constitution cannot stand very long in the people's way when they wish to change it." The Salisbury Adcertier devotes its leader to a consideration of the high prerogative of the real newspaper not only to uruihh the news of the day and to comment upon law, aud every live topic of the day, but lso to endeavor conscientiously to make its readers better as well as wiser men.

The Breakwater Light speaks a good word for Harley G. Brown, saying "It always produces a very unpleasant for us to think or speak of this cane. We have been intimately acquainted with Harley G. Brown for twelve years or more, and for uprightness of character and Christian virtue he scarcely had, in our estimation, an equal. We are gLwl, however, that his sentence is no worse, and we trust he may live to outgtow it.

That such a man as he could ever have committed the crime for which he was convicted is only the more surpiising when we look back at his former good name and character." Referring to the same subject, the Newark iJdger says: "But, however the case is viewed, he showed a terrible recklessness of human life and his punishment is scarcely commensurate with his crime." The ledger also says that it will be the duty of the Legislature to spend a portion of its next session in inquiring into the fees and emoluments of various county officers, several of which have been rendered, by the increase in population and wealth, much more lucrative than is necessary for the public good. The Denton Union says "In former yeais the salary of our ministers abroad were but $4,000, but when the inflation mania swept over the country like a whirlwind, these salaries were raised to $18,000. Now, that we have gradually come back to ante beUutn times, a figure two ought to be DARLINGTON, lies. 1126 and 1128 Chestnut Street, MCU Valenciefisoa. Torchon.

A fictitious cable dispatch of inordinate length, purporting to emanate from a staff correspondent who has been sent across the seas to find Mr. Jidison, is an amusing jeu aexpnt Ibaunaers lruh Mews. When the correspondent landed in New York, President Hsyes went tearing down Broadway to the Battery in an open carriage drawn- by six cream-colored horses, and preceded by a number of outriders in scarlet aud gold, and a squadron of siege artillery in full gallop. As they approached the President descended from his carriage, saluted the correspondent on both cheeks, and immediately raised a cheer, which was at once taken up by his party and repeated from the Battery to the Central Park. The President carried his guest off to the White House, where they had bird's-nest soup, bluefish, breadfruit, pilaff, and oysters in every style.

After lunch the President drove the correspondent out (without the artillery) to see the sights in the immediate neighborhood the Falls of Niagara, the prairies, the Yosemite Valley, and giant trees in Mariposa county. When he learned that the Iiihman had crossed the seas to talk with Mr. Edison, the President urged him to do nothing of (he sort. He remarked that the inventor was hardly ever at home, being generally in the Patent Office registering some new discovery, and besides he was so highly charged with eleotricity that it was dangerous to approach him. The President remarked that the inventor was frequently seen with a regular nimbus around his head, a sort of domesticated aurora borealis, and one man who shook hands with him in a casual way, went home, took to his bed, and was prostrated by the violence of the electrical shock.

A flora With If ydropnobti. Dallas (Tax.) Oonmerolel. A most remarkable accident occurred on Sunday morning last, about five miles northwest of the city, on the Denton road. Mr. Sebastian Schafer, and a young man in his employ, named James Kinerd, had started from home to the timber to get a load of wood, bchafer was driving the team, and Kinerd was riding an extra horse with harness on.

When Schafer had driven about half a mile from home, he saw a large bay horse, about 20 steps from tho road, biting at one of his hind feet. The horse came out On the road, and was soon followed by a dog that bad followed the wagon from home. At the sight of the dog the horse started at full speed down the road in the direction of the wagon. Schafer turned the team off the road, thinking the horse would pass on, bnt instead it sprang on the wagon and struck him with its fore-feet, knocking him flat on his back, at the same time grabbing him on the right shoulder. The stood nearly over him, and rode nearly 200 yards, biting at him and all the time squealing and kicking.

Schafer kicked the infuriated beast, and fought it with his fists, but it succeeded in biting him several times. Finally Schafer rolled off the wagon, stopped his team, and struck the horse several blows with a pole he found in the road. Kinerd ran up, and the two succeeded in beating the horse off the wagon, but as it fell off its hind feet got hung in the front hounds of the wagon, and several minutes passed before they got it released from that position, all of which time Schafer beat it over the head. On being released it tried to leap over the wagon again to get at the man, but failing, ran in the direction of some other horses in a pasture, and tried to get at them. Schafer set the dog after the horse, and after running about twenty minutes, at a rapid speed, it fell in a lane, where it died.

The horne undoubtedly had hydrophobia. Wby Main Colljer Wu Pardouril. It is 6aid that Sam Collyer, the prize fighter, was pardoned out of the New Jersey penitentiary because of a powerful influence exercised in his favor on account of an accident that happened in the war. His young friend Alexander, the sou of a wealthy Brooklyn lumber merchant, was bot down at his side. In the evening, while the firing was yet brisk, Collyer stole over the hld, found the body of his friend, aud carried it to a place of safety.

He buried the body, marked the spot, and wrote to Mr. Alexander in Brooklyn, who afterwards recovered the remains. For this service Mr. Alexander aud the dead soldier boy's uncle became Oollyer'a friends. They watched his career as a prize fighter, and after he was eeot to State prison they were unceasing in their efforts in Lis behalf until they obtained his pardon.

During his imprihonmect Collyer invented a firearm, and made an improvement in a gun that was already patented: Collyer has returned to his home in Brooklyn. Upon his release he said to his friends: "I return home as Jainieson (his real name), wishing to forget the years I lived as Kam Collyer. My past life I wish to forget." Btauiarek'on Tell.

"From my boyhood," said he, "I never could bear him first, because he shot at his son, and then bectuse be murdered Gessler in such a cowardly fashion.

That would have been just wrath for suoh a cruel demand. I do not like the hiding and lying iu wait it does not become heroes no, not even fraud irsurs." A orl Mingle entry System.
