The Board met in regular session

man R. J. Jones and Messrs. J. F.

the Wilmington Hook and Ladder
Company, bill of $12.60 for feeding
horses, and bill of! $30 for atten
tion to horses while sick, $140.60 in
all, were taken up. On motion the
Clerk was ordered to send a com-
niunication to the Board of Alder
men setting forth the expenses in
curred by the city for the horses of
the Hook and Ladder truck and
stating that this Board is not will
ing to continue these extraordinary
expenses for that purpose, and ask
ing them to devise some way j to
remedy the said extraordinary ex
penses, j H
Several bills for the Fire Depart
uient were presented, approved by
the Chief of the Fire Department
and not approved by the Uayor as
chairman of the committee on Fire
Department, whereupon it was or
dered that the bills be sent to the
Board of Aldermen and the fact
called to their attention, and that
they be requested to law down a rule
designating who is authorized to
purchase supplies in that depart
ment and certify to the correctness
of bills.

No Envy and No Malic.
We said yesterday that the man
Talbott, who attempted suicide on
Saturday night, as was alleged, is la
printer who has recently been em
ployed on the Messenger." llns
means, of course, that the man had
worked in the Messenger office. W
stated this simply as a fact that had
been told us. The Messenger there
upon waxes wratliy. It says this
morning:
Hence we hurl back with supreme
conteiant at our envious contem
poraries the malicious assertion that
the unfortunate Mr. xaiooir, tue
comnositor who came so near los
in? his life from an overdose of
laudanum, was "a Messenger print
er." The man reneatedly "subbed"
for some of our regular compositors
as he has in other offices in tins city,
but he has never himself "held a
case" on the Messenger.
That is a very pretty expression
that "hurl back with supreme con
teupt" but we think we have heard
something like it before. It is get
tincr rather stale thouerh liQW. As
w c w -.
for the allusions to "envious con
temporaries" and "malicious asser
tion" that is something more serious
and must be more seriously consid
ered. We don't envy the Messenger
for the simple reason that we
wouldn't swap even with it to day,
and as for the "malicious" part we
will content ourselves with saying,
po far as we are concerned, that the
assertion is simply false.
We said that the man was Va
printer who had recently been em
ployed on the Messenger," and .we
repeat it and prove it by what the
Messenger itself says in the extract
we have quoted above. '
We say now in all kindness to our
cotemporary that we .cannot see
why he should have taken offense
at our remark. The Messenger was
not responsible for the occurrence
nor was any such thing intimated
Had the man worked on the Star,
or on the Review, we would have
spoken in the same way, merely as
a matter of fact, in recording a
circumstance. There was no envy
and no malice in the matter none
whatever and none . but a jaun
diced mind, it seems to us, could
have discerned sucli a thing where
it did not exist. ! ' ;
