Is of opiuion that "the colored people can gain noth ing, but will surely -lose much, by following such blind leaders as the Kev W. Polk, who, at a meeting in his "church in Chicago on Wednesday night denounced the civil rights bill decision as au insult to the race." The opinion of the Supreme Court in the Civil Rights case has been pfe sented and filed in the clerk's office. Justice Ilarlau was asked for a copy r his dissenting onihion. He reDlied that he nad iust commenced the pre- paration of it and would complete it as - - " - soon as he could do so consistently with his other duties in court. He did not, however, think his dissent could be filed under ten dayi or two weekB. The Philadelphia fiecord howleth this: "Now let the American eagle scream, particularly such noble birds a3 wear the protectionist gyves and tassels. The contract for supplying steel turrets for the Mianlonomah has been given to an English house. Con gress may enact a protective tariff, but the government shows good sense in buying in the cheapest market. Only it is a pity that the people cannot have the same privilege." - - The Scientific American says that every loaf of risen bread contains from ten to twenty drops .of alcohol.

W ELMINGTON. : N.- G:v TUESDAY. OCTOBER 30 T .'IT" Love's Warn i Dff. 1 ' :f' Twilight had deepened into night and a calm, silent solitude seemed ho vt ring over street and alley and cottage on Dry Pond: The prattling children.1 who had romped aud phrjed and made merry music with their gladsome mirth in the gloaming, had been gathered to there respective homes and after having been thoroughly scrubbed and vigorous ly spanked bad been quietly put into ! their kittle beds to sleep the sweet slumber of innocent vouthl" only to be disturbed by the vagrant flea or peri patetic bed bug. The paternal head of the Simpson family . had igone to the corner grocery to discuss'- politics" and other equally important matters, while the mother, weary with the. toils and duties of the day , had taken a seat in her favorite arm chair at the open window, where the cooling and sooth ing zephyrs from the West fanned her fevered brow Until she became lost in the sweet oblivon of profound sleep. There was nothing to disturb the serene silence save an occasional spasmodic Snore trom the mother, which resem- bled the sound made by cutting into a I decayed log with a dull axe; and the I low soft murmur of voices that came from the front piazza where Edward DeLacy was pleading for a return of his unalterable and undying affection with his idolized Alberta, the first born and fairest of the house of Simpson. lion g and devotedly had he loved the fair damsel, and patiently had he waited for the coveted opportunity when he niigkt pour our the wealth of his heart's purest affection in the . fond . hope that it might find an earnest .and welcome abiding place with-her and be as warm ly reciprocated.' This was the golden opportunity and in accents of tender pathos, such as is born of love unaduK terated with any selfish considerations, yet tremblingly as he fearedher answer might br;ng. him:.. blighted hopes and crushed aspirations, he plead his cause. , (JAud would you.lsaid the gentle ibexla, as she listened & his passionate pleadings, ove me thus i without change or iee&tl thrbu'gh the years" to come? Would you, when age has spread its net work of wrinkles oh this fair face and tinged with silver these glossy bangs, keep the saCred vows you have made to me? 'Or would youJ tird of me -as the years glide by and leave the relentless stamp of Time upon form and feature?" . ( "O, throw aside such cruel thoughts,- my adored Alberta," he replied as a look of ineffable angaisli overspread his fine- features. "Every lineament, of your fair young features I is indelibly daguerreotyped in my heart, where it will dwell in perennial freshness and youth tb gjbard me ironS any side show affection! Days and years may pass away and age may tell its tale, but love l)ke mme is ever young a nd ever true. Others liiay befltrid from- their allegi ance by caprice or fleeting fancy, but mine shall be constant aud unwavering to the cud. O, do not doubt me." I "Edward. I have not doubteil you," paid Alberta, in sadly tender tones, "aud I have hoped for this hour when tuight tell you that 1 was wholly thine.-and it woman's 16 ve and woman's devotion can make you happy then take my heart and keep it.

A statistician has aroused himself calculating the distance tr avelled in a year by the hand of a printer, lie takes the principle that a skillful compositor, working ten hours per day, allowing for distribution and correction, sets up 12,000 letters. In counting the year at 300 working days, he 'makes them a total of 3,fi00;000 letters Consequent ly, the distance from the case to the stick and from the- stick to the case being estimated at two feet, makes in ail 7.200,000 feet, there being 23.500 feet in a geographical mile, so that the dis tanco made in a year under these condi lions by a printer's hand is in the neighr borhood of 306 mile?, or a mile per day.
