calculation respecting the successful
operation of such establishments may be
secured there, on as favorable terms per

the different lines of road under control
of the company, the selection is good
one. Tt is also stated that the line of
boats from Lewes to Philadelphia, as in
tended last summer will be shortly run

company will add faith in the perma
nence of tho investments made, and open
Philadelphia,
which will compete for trade and travel
from the lower peninsula by lessened

Bui*. A-iiobe.— The brig Moses Day,
of Philadelphia, came ashore at Rehoboili
City at midnight on Saturday last. The
night was dark and foggy, so much so
that the men at the life-saving station,
one mile distant, could not see the big
lighthouse. This was the cause of the
accident; no lights could be seen any
where. The brig was from Montividio in
ballast and bound to the Breakwater for
orders. She went up high and dry on
the beach, and required no assistance.—
The men at life-saving station No 2 were
at the point in fifteen minutes alter she
struck, and those from No. 1 also came
up, but tlieir services were not required.
F. C. Maull&Co., have contracted to get
her off at a price to be allowed by the
board of underwriters. It is thought that
she will soon be launched off' without
damage. She is now in good condition
and does not leak.— News.
Dr. Holland's New Novel in

things, to deal with some of the difficul
ties tnat surrounded the question as to
the proper treatment of tne mendicant
classes. It is understood that the story
will have a good deal of "action," and
»hat while it has to do mainly with the
so-called upper classes, tho relation be
tween these and "the great unemployed"
will be an important pnaso of the narra

A Liking for Chicikns. —Another
batch of robberies havo just, been commit
ted, in tho Ninth Ward, this time it is

houses of Samuel Gamble, and Mrs. Kel
Ium, residing on Vandevor Avenue,were
broken open and thirty pairs of chickens
stolen. Ou Thurday night John Gumming
lost nine pairs, a man bythe name of
Anderson, 5 pairs, and John Pruitt 4.
The thieves also tried to break into the
lienery, of Neven Gamble, but failing,
and out of revenge it is supposed stole
two pairss of overalls and two shirts that
were left hanging on the line in the

Game.
Large shipments ol wild geese
partridges and other game are still being
made over the lines of our railroad. In
view of the fact that near ly all now being
killed is by professional gunnel's for mar
ket outside the State, we would suggest
to our spoilsmen desirous of protectlngthe
game, we have, that the easiest and best
way is to shorten the period in which
game may be lawfully taken, and to pro
hibit the shipment from the. State or to
market after January 1st, of each year.—
This is but just, since, our neighbors
prevent the destruction of their game alter
that date, and so turn their pot gunners
upon us. Sixty days would be quite long
enough for the puiposc ol our own sports
men, and the extra time now had is more
for the benefit of such as should not be
allowed to come among us for this
pose at all, than any one else.— News.

A Brutal Husband. —This morning,
liclorc Mayor Whiteiey, Michael O'Neally
was an aigned. on the charge of assaulting
his wife, and threatening to kill her.
In her testimony before the mayor, she
said that he had driven her out of the
house about two mouths ago, and when I
went back a few days lie raced me out
with butcher knives, and yesterday he
came to my daughters, where I was stay

give up a little money that I had. He
alse frequently struck me, and yesterday
becoming more violent he broke up a
lot of furniture.
The mayor required him to pay $10.
end costs, and give bail in the smu
$J00, to keep the peace.

The May-Bennett affair still remaini»
the object of much talk at the clubs and
in social circle«,
the matter was, its usual, freely discussed
yesterday. The intimate friends of Freder
ick May were positive in their assertions
that he was unhurt, but there were many
who still cling to tho belief that he is
wonded and conceal»«! in the hunting
lodge of a friend on the Gunpower. The
May party, including Dr. Frederick May
the second of Mr. Bennett's antagonist,
state that the report of the duel publish
ed in the Gazette on Wednesday morn
ing was absolutely correct. It is so ac
cepted by tho family of Dr. M ay, in this
city. It is understood by the friends of
the parties at the club that Dr. Frederick
May, second to Fred May, and Dr.
Charles Tilghinan, his surgeon, have left
for parts unknown. Some say Fred May,
of New York, accompanied them; others
that he is on the Gunpowder, as stated
above. There is so muon mystery thrown
around the fact of the whereabouts
Fred May that it is impossible to get at
the exact iruth. The fact is known here
that Dr. Alan P. Smith has been absent
several days this week from town, and
has taken Jong rides in his sleigh. It is
also stated Dr. Pancoast, a celebrated
physician of Philadelphia, was absent
from that city in attendance on a wound
ed man in Maryland, whom it is conjee
tured was Fred May.
A contradiction of the report that Ben
nett had been married to Mi«s May and
had left with his wife in the Illinois
from Philadelphia for Europe was re
ceived here. The parties supposed to
have been Mr. and Mrs. Bennett were
Mr. Cundell, the English commissioner
to the Centennial, and his wife. The
union of Bennett and Miss May, however
is deemed probable in this city from the
improved temper of the May party to
ward that gentleman. The announce
ment of the marriage would create no
surprise in this city,as it has been expect
ed by those intimate with the parties
since the duel. The impression has been
made, from what circumstances are not
known, but probably from the explanat
ions that followed* the interchange of
shots. If. is such a declaration was made
by Bennett, accompanied by excuses for
past misconduct, and better behavior in
the futvre. Whether this be true or not,
the fact remains that denunciations of
Bennett up to the day of the hostile meet
ing are now changed to eeojniums upon
his courage and conduct.

Among the most exquisite scences
which delight the eye of the European
traveller are those wonderful rose-col
ored cloud banners, floating from the
Alpine Clifts. But it is only in the sun
light that Nature hangs out these beauti
ful tokens. So it is only in the glow of
health—the sunlight of our inner being—
that nature reveals those physical cloud
banners, the "rosy cheek" and "cherry
lip," to praise which every poet of the
earth lias invoked the Muse to aid him.
But they are as rare a-s the cynical Hood
conceived the Christian charity to he.
Woman, eager to retain this charm,
sorts to French art and rouge. The ef
fect is similiar to that which would be
produced by substantial auctioneers' Hags
for the delicate glowing cloud-bi
of the Alps. If woman would aid Na
ture instead of adopting art, would seek
health instead of vainly trying to mask
disease, she would not only win the
greatest charm of womanhood—health—
but she would avert
from herself and others.

* >ne bottle affords mon - relief than months
of treatment by caustics and other medi

woman to become familiar with the causes
and symptoms of the many diseases to
which her peculiar organization renders
her liable, and also to learn the proper
means of preventing these maladies. The
People's Medical Adviser contains an
extensive treatise upon "W

courses of domestic treatment, which will

A MAN WHO REFUSES TO BE BULLDOZED
— TILDEN IIA8 CARRIED THE STATS.
Washington, January 12.—Mr. Wood
burn, of the Florida committee, indicated
to-day to several friends in a quiet way
that he l'elt exceedingly provoked at the
ofliciousness of Chandler in seeking to
watphis views in regard to Florida, try
ing to prejudice his decision without re
gard to facts, and then sending him for
political aid and comfort to the President.
He is fair, candid and independent in his
inteqgons, and, while not yet willing
give Mu his convictionhatTilden has carri
edFlorida before the facts^obtained by the
subcommittee can be submitted,hemeans
to be governed entirelyby a sense of duty
in reaching a judgment after all the evi
dence is in. He feels able to come to a
conclusion without any bulldozing sug
gestions from Chandler or other men hi
his party. Senator Jones has prepared
his speech on the Florida complications,
in which he promises to present a fair
and candid statement of the history of
the election in that state, but he heard
will not deliver his sjieecli till the question
of granting the second mandamus applied
for can be heard by the Supreme Court
and determined. This is now jiendingj
and will, no doubt he disposed in a lev,
days.
„ Senator Jones will gain the floor at the
proper time by submitting a petition to
the Senate from the democratic electors
of Florida and take the occasion to enter
into the merits of the count. He claims
to have a careful and exact estimate of
the returns, compiled from the only re
liable sources, and says the result shown
by them is so unmistakably in favor of
the Tilden electors that the Senate can
