"V'K day, is the Rev. J. B. Perrv ays later ro a srauiriir crowd at Laurinrmro;, one and of the rustics innocently asked, "Did you hear it, Mr. Miller? "Hear it!" he answered, his lare eyes still pro jecting far out of their sockets, "Great Scott! Was there a man anywhere on the continent of Amer ica that didn't hear it? For a purpose, hereafter to be disclosed, I will intrude upon your readers an allusion to that best" re luenrbed event which made Mr. Hen Harrison the President elect and Mr. G rover Cleveland the soon to be ex-President. The well-known proclivitv of the self-seeking politician to kneel to the rising sun, and Washington's population is largely of that class, led many to believe that the Presi dent, hitherto so popular, would find few so poor as to do him rev erence now that hiS sun is nearing its western horizon, clouded by de- feal. That even his charming wife, arid she is charming, would be found less beautiful and would pass into nothingness with the fickle multitude. Such has been the fate of many indeed, most of his prede lessors in their latter days. I well recollect how it was with that ex cellGnt gentleman. President Pierce, who, let me say. was the peer of the best that have tilled that great of fice. In his day of power he was immensely popular, and especially with such as knew him as a man. These have never forgotten him, tho1 some, true to their selfish in stincts, turned their backs upon him when interest prompted. It was iny privilege to meet him very often at the house of Mr. Dobbin, his Secretary of the Navy, of whom lie was especially fond, and I had a chance of. comparing him with that thoroughly Chesterfield ian gentleman, and I could only say arcade ambo; eacli was worthy of the other. His levees were more and more sparsely attended, as the 4th of March, which closed his term, approached. But it became kaown that Mr. Buchanan, the vising sun, would be present at the next one, and then what a rush and crush. All Washington seemed to have turned out. AH the available space in the President's house was filled, and such was the jam that women fainted and husbands and wives anti gallants and sweethearts, once sep orated, did not recover each other till its close. Mr. Buchanan stood at the Presi dent's right and the- caller was in troduced by him, but he was soon driven from this position and was forced to inaugurate a levee of his own. He stood near the wall, the centre of an admiring and ever in creasing crowd, that had to be made to move on by the police in attend ance. One old dowager rushed at him and threw her arms about his neck and might have kissed him had he not dodged: Mr. B. was a bachelor, you know. All this time Mr. Pierce stood almost deserted; many passed him without saluting. Discovering Mr. B. they would rush at him, showing a devotion too demonstrative to be sincere. It was a gathering of the eagles around the'earcass, as the Psalmist speaks of." Remembering ail this, I Ayas cu rious in Rpe how it was with Mr. Cleveland. On Thanksgiving Day be received a brigade of district militia, and to the honor of the peo ple be it said, there was as great anxiety manifested to see him and to show him respect, as at any time in his administration. His recep tions are as eagerly attended as ever and there is every disposition now to do him honor. When Mr. Hayes was nearing his end there was a general absence of regret, and the pious Hannibal Hamlin "thanked God that the blank-blank scoundrel in the White House had but three weeks-more to stay.' Hy the way, I will mention a little matter connected with the Hayes business that has never been in print. A friend of mine, who, as a member of Congress, took a very active part in seatiug Mr. Hayes, was in the city on business some time after the inauguration, and called to see him. Later I met him and asked what he thought of the President. "Well,' he answered, "Mr. Hayes looked to me like he knew that the Presidency had been stolen for him, and he didn't want to see any of the thieves. " But 1 didn't intend to let my pen run away with me in this fashion when 1 took it up.

'The "Wigwam" on Castle street, heretofore headquarters, for the unterrified Democrats of the Fifth Ward, is being removed. It was erected long before 1884. It was built, we think, in 1878 or 188Q.

The alarm of fire to day about noon was a false one. It came from St. John's Church, the alarm having turned in at box 48, corner of Red Cross and Sixth streets. It seems that the sexton at St. John's was kindling a fire in the furnace and some one saw a large volume of smoke issuing therefrom and gave an alarm. A similar. false alarm, for a similar cause, at the same church, was made a few years ago. The Marionettes. There w as another great big au dience at the Opera House last night and a good audience at the matinee this afternoon, to see the Royal Marionettes. To-nighl will be the last of the season here, when the chief present will be aset of bedroom furniture. It is said that every one present will receive a present of some kind. The award last nif was as follows A dinner set of 150 nieces to Dave Lovell. colored; a chamber set of'12 pieces to M. A. Ruby; a student's lamp to Sarah Walker, colored: a desert set "to J D. Savage, and a smoking case to Adolph AValker. Ttte Music at St. Paul'. St. Paul's Episcopal Church have secured a very fine quartette to reader the music at thevening ser vices. Miss Minnie Schwarz is the soprano, which of itself speaks well for the character of the choir. The rector has determined to make the evening services at St. Paul's an occasion for the rendering of some of the finest selections sf sacred music. To-morrow night the musi cal programme will be of a very high -order. Arrangements have been perfected for the eomfortable heating of the church. All are invited to attend these services. Rev. Mr. Arnold will preach on the "Power of Christ.'' Buy Your Goods at Home. There fire some people in this world, and we fear that Wilmington has her due proportion of them, who think that nothing is good that does not come direct to them from another and a larger city. No mat ter how complete a stock our own merchants may show they cannot see any merit in the goods but must send North and buy there. They can do but few more silly things. They turn from a large assortment before their eyes, from which they could make their selections after mature deliberation, and send off and purchase goods they have never seeiK relying perhaps upon the highly colored descriptions given them through a newspaper adver tisement. As a natural result those Who buy at home have an oppor" tuuity for selecting their goods and are, by a large majority, far more pleased with their purchases than those who buy, as the boys used to swap knives in our younger days "sight unseen." And again, how is it that so many people w411 buy goods 6f any description from ; rangers rather than neighbors? Let a man who is known in -the community take an agency for a plow or a steam engine; let a mer chant, well established, introduce something and somehow many peo- jjle imagine that if they purchase from home acquaintances they are purchasing at a disadvantage. They seem to think that dealers away off are the most disinterested persons on the face of the earth,and the- result is that 'with their over confidence in such people they are often duped in their dealings. Stop at home and as far as possible, buy of m.ew whose interests, and, who fhave reputations at. stake, right where they live,. None of these for eign mercantile!

Young Men's Christian Association. The 'regular -monthly meeting of the directors of the Y. M. C. A. wa; held last evening, and among other things it was decided to hold a pub lic anniversary meeting on Sunday, Jan. 20th, at which several promi nent Association workers will be present and deliver addresses, and reports of'the work and condition of the Association will be read. It was also decided to hold a "Book Reception" at the Rooms Jan. 4th, at which each person attending would be expected to bring a book and present it to the Association, thus beginning a library. The following from the report of the General Secretary shows some ¬ thing of what is being done: "Three lectures have already been provided. "A worker's training class has been organized, meeting weekly. "A class in German is being form ed, and will probably hold its first meeting next week. "Classes in stenography and po litical economy are undpr consider ation. "The reading room is growing more and more into favor and the number of person who patronize it much greater than I had dared hqpe to see at this early date. "The game room has formed quite an attraction, especially to tne younger class of visitors, and the presence of our business men is not wholly looking there. "No effort has been made to keep an accurate record of the number of persons visiting the rooms but the reception committee, which has been on duty from 8 to 10 p. in 30 out of tha 36 week davs that we have been in these rooms report an average of 21 daily during the hours they have been on duty.
