The "News and Advertiser," pub lished at Milford, Del., came out last week in party new dress. The apperance of the paper is greatly improved, the typography clear and altogether the paper is a model of beauty. The prospect of a Democratic Presi dent for 1884 has been wafted to the winds, so some of our exchanges tells us. by the election of Hon. J.G.Carlisle, Speaker of the House of Delegates. Republicans should verily rejoice. Manayunk is having a delightful sensation over a spook. What a time the boys would have with a ghost in this town. A spook would receive a very good reception when he arrived here for Lis funny phranks. Let have on«. Draw a larger crowd than a free show. A sensation of some sort is badly needed. and T. to dered WASHINGTON GOSSIP. The election of John G. Carlisle of Kentucky, as Speaker of the House of Represenatives closed a political struggle which will probably be memorable in the Democratic party. The delay and hesi tbe part of the I M. Speaker in tation making up the committees; especially iu the selection of the Chairman of the indication of the embarrass same, ment which his personal triumph has brought upon the Democratic party. When Randall and Keifer Monday at noon performed the poet mony of offering up their personal ambi tions by escorting their successor to the chair, your correspondent was ested observer trom a perch in the gal lery. Mr. Keifer looked embarrassed ; Mr. Randall impassive. I think the latter may have been reflecting that his secret aspirations for a Presideutal nomination were unfairly slaughtered, have felt chagrined at the suddenness of his taking oft. and at what lie conceived to be the stupidity of bis making a political mistake in choosing else. But out of this strange item ere inter lie must party i any conflict the full history of which would disclose the vices of politics, but which will never be written, for people read ancient history, there have been two results worth noticing. To the credit of the Democratic party let it be said, that the Speaker the result of trading offices for votes. He was elected by the solid Southern vote. It is food for thought that there can Le a solid South, but that the Northern wing of the Democracy is divided. It shows at a glance that Southern interests identical aud harmonious, but Northern are diverse and variable. These inter ests may clash. In looking are some notable differences lo be observ ed. Considered as bas become lop-sided, which is the Democratic side, has swelled not elec ted as House theie the entity th« body Th« left wing, to abnormal proportions, while the right •action, the Republican side has shrunk ridiculously. Then, where there used to be a fringe of colored faces on the outer Republican circle, there are none left to ahow how the Africau can act as legisla tor. But the most notable deficiency is . 4 , _ .__ r _ ,_ _ f .. in th. .bien» of well known faces, the figures of active politician«, retired from the service, and the presence of so many ■trange persons in their places. Possibly I am prejudiced. A photograph of a persou may impress oue unfavorably, but nftc. acquantance ..veals Hue. of beauty. The new House impresses me so. It does not look intellectual. It is not very well dressed. It has not the air of being up with the lime., «.to speak. It look. rather hungry and lean. Perhaps my mind is swayed somewhat by seeing so many seedy "Majahs" and "Jedges" hanging around the door ways. Are these gentlemen to become say to myself. God forbid. It is like turning the hands back to the days "befo the wall." iulei'8, I The Art Amatuer for December is a number of holiday size and excellence.
