The ivliliiIiio-iost in llic New Castle
jail-yard had seven vieliins yesterday.
Three boys, wlio had stolen something
like lift ecu dollars, got ten laches ajiieee.
Twenty lashes, were applied to the harks
of four other prisoners who had been
convicted of larceny. Sheriff Clark did
not handle the cat in a particularly
forcible maimer, and the men who were
Mriing up in the pillory didn't seem to
mind the blows much. The whipping-
iost has greatly degenenited m late
years. There was a time when it was
applied indiscriminately lo thieves and
felons of high and low"degrce, Now it
is mainly iicd as :t scare-crow for
chicken-thieves, sncak-lhieves and er-
nint tramps known as " )each-)lucks."

city who remember as children, or
youths, a time when some of the Blue
Hen's most respectable cilizens were
put into the pen known aS1 the pillery
and made to expiate their offenses
against the law and morality by" a forced
ombrace of the whipping-post.
As a child the writer remembers hav
ing seen men who, after being whipped,
were bv law compelled to wearihe let
ter "" (felon) over the back (Tf their
coats as long as they remained within
the boundaries of that State. Other
people, a little older, will recollect how,
in Dover, a man, who IiaTT been
a prominent church member and most
highly respectable citizen, for some .act
of dishonesty was publicly whipped
and condemned to wear the stigma of
disgrace, the letter "1V :is long as he.
lived, or to abandon his home and busi
ness and take up his abode in another
State. Jle resolved to stay where his
interests and affections inclined him to
remain. Although hi' was a storekeep
er and his occupation ncccsMlatcd his
constant appearance in public, he at
tended to his business in per.-on. and it
is saiil by those who frequented his
store as purchasers that he had his
stocksoarraiired and wa so adroit in
his movement that no one eer caught I
si
ight of the badge of his di-gracc whilst I
being waited on by him. In the old
time, when Delaware was more rigid in
her righteousness than .-he is to-day, it
was held by those who made and those
who administered the laws that di-hon-c-ty
was much more heinous when en
gaged in by those placed by social posi
tion above want and ainid-t respectable
surroundings than when indulged in by
those templed by neces-Hy and evil
companionship. Consequently, when a
prominent citizen was caught stealing
or forging, his punishment vvas always I
made heavier and more severe than tTiat
meted out to rogues of either of the I
classes coiuempiousiy kuow ii as poor
while" or "free niggers." In fact, a
half century ago so large a proportion!
of the criminals punished by whipping
was of the respectable class of society,
that a ladv, on visiting Delaware some
, . . .! .i -I
years ago, having heard that this, that j
and the other distinguished citizen was
the descendant of some one who had
been publicly whipped, asked: "Do
not all the aristocrats of Delaware de
rive their patents of nobility from the
whipping-post?"
Toward the close of the last century
an eminent and well-h.'ioved gentleman
of Sussex County, a public benefactor,
ilistinguished for piety, fell from his
hirh estate. He w:is a Magistrate, and
noted for
wisdom and excellence of
iud-ment. On one occasion there was
brought before him in his official capac
ity some counterfeiters, who had been
arrested for passing bad money, a large I
amount of which was found upon their
persons. The Magistrate, as was his
duty, took possession of the counterfeit
stuff, to destroy, it was sunnosed. The
rogues were committed lor trial and

Years afterward the neighborhood was

traced to the "'Squire. who had coin-

it vvas afterward discovered, had been

effort was made to hield this beloved
and respected citizen from ihe conse
quences of his offense, but without any
avail whatever. He was whipped most
severely in the jail-yard at Dover, and
the bhcrill who inflicted the puni-hnient

criminal that he cut so deeplv into the
flesh as to cause the blood to run off
the end of the lash and down his own
hands, whilst the back of the unfortu

most stoical could not look without be

taken time to think before speaking.
His after attempts to hush up the matter
wete without avail. Political opponents
of the unfortunate culprit got hold of
the story, and he was indicted, tried,
and found guilty of the crime of forg

Among the most beautiful, highly
cultured and charming women of the
State some thirty years ago wen- the
four-daughters of "a high official who had
the misfortune to be born kleptomani
acs. It -was well known to all the citi
zens of the town in which they resided
that they had inherited this mania from
their mother, who was :i constitutional
thief. These girls would take anything
I they could lay their hands on, from
' mouse-traps to fishing-tackle. The :t'-
ciuiskioiis made m this way were, in
nine vases out of ten, wholly uscles-azid
worthless to them. Their fat her, know-in"-
this nronen-it v of wife and ofi"-pring.
I vi-itcd the different storekeepers of the
i town and requested them to send the
t bill to him for any articles thev might
! mi-s after visits from the female mcin
jbers of his family. There was, therc
I fore, no particular trouble about the
! peculations of the.-e young ladies until a
, new storekeeper came to town, who, on
receiving the Usual intimation lrom their
father, said to some of his neighbofs:
"Kleptomania be hanged; it's nothing
but thiefomania, and if they were poor
women they would have it thrashed out
of them at "the whipping-post. If they
come into my store to do any stealing
111 have them arrested and whipped as
quick as if they were chicken-thieves."
Xo one believed the fellow would carry
out his threat, but he did. Two of the
sisters came into his place, and after
thev were gone lie missed a bundle
of "gloves. He followed them up the
street, called a Constable, had them ar
retted, searched, and . would have had
them committed to jail as conimo-i
thieves had not bail been promptly of
fered by a score of citizens for their ap
pearance to answer to the charge at
court. Now began the tug of war. It
was known that if the case came to trial
the voting ladies would be -oiitcnecil to
be whipped, and that this sentence,
would not be remitted by the ("overnor,
who was one of the sternly righteous
men, who believed his position demand
ed of him the exaction of the sentence!
pronounced by law, save in the cao of
after-discovered extenuating evidence.
The onlv tiling left for the alllictcd
father who hail already been much im
poverished through the peculations of
his familv, was to buv the prosecutor
off.
This he did, and reduced himself to
almost absolute want by complying with
the demands made upon him. The
father neverTccovered from this public
disgrace.irhiu died soon after. The
daughters" however, who never seemed
to understand that they had been guilty;
of any criminality, held up their head.;
bravely, and all married well. Some of
them are living to-day, beloved wives
and good mothers, who, under the very
shadow of The whipping-post, it is said,

An Interesting Bialogne.
Ensconced in a corner of a Broadway
-ar. the other morning, on my way
down-town, reading the Daily Viand, I
listened to the conversation of two
oung ladies, which I reproduce through
the medium of Vuck for the benefit of
the world at large.
These girls were well, if not fa-hiona-blv.
drc-s-cd in becoming morning
shopping-dresses. One. the leader of
the conversation, was attired in a dark
red nlusli tbrht-littimr iaeket. with a
shaiu-lv hat mid feather jauntily set on
a head of black hair. She was pretty, ,
i i . . . .
and her face was ifot destitute of intel
ligence, and she could have given jxiints
to her companion in rapidity of .speech.
Th' other was a blonde, with little
curled bangs running all over her fore
head. She might almost have been
handsome had her expression been le-s
doll-like and .simpering. She wore a
cloak technically known as a "circu
lar," which, round a white neck, was
fa-tened bv hammered silver cla-ps.
The voices of both were pitched in a
nither high key, and. as there were few
people in the car, I received the full
benefit of the conversation.

The wonl happy is a relative term;
that is, when we call a man happy, we
mean that he is happier than some
others with whom we compare him.
than the generality of others, or than
he himself was in some other situation
thus, speaking of one who has just
compassed the object of a long pursuit;
"Now," we say. "he is happy''; and
in a like sense, compared with the gen
eral lot of mankind, we call a man hap
py who possesses health and compe
tency. In strictness, any condition may be
denominated happy, in which the
amount or aggregate of ple:isure ex
ceeds that of pain, and the degree of
happiness depends upon the quantity of
this excess. Happiness does not con
sist in the pleasures of sense, in what
ever profusion or variety they be en
joyed, liy the pleasures of sense, I
mean as well the animal gratifications of
eating, drinking, and that by which the
species is continued, as the more re

easurcs oi music, paintin
architecture, gardening, theatrical ex- !
Yiitiitiiinc .mil flwi tili.'i cllri. laictl of I

fishing,
etc. These pk
se pleasures continue
but a little while at a time. his is
true of them all. especially of the
grosser sort of them. Laying aside the
preparation and the expectation, and
computing strictly the actual sensation,
we shall be suqirised to find how incon
siderable a portion of our time they oc
cupy, hovv few hours in the twenty-four
they are able to fill up. ,
These pleasures, by repetition, lose
their relish. It is property of the ma
chine for which we know nt remedy,
that the organs by which we perceive
pleasure are blunted and benumbed by
being frequently exercised in the same
way. There is hardly any one who has
not found the difference between a gratifi
cation when new and when familiar, or
anv pleasure which docs not become
indifferent as it grows habitual. The
truth seems to be. that there is a limit
at vieh these pleasures soon arrive,
and from which they ever afterward de
cline. They are by necessity of short
duration, as the organs cannot hold on
their emotions beyond a certain length
of time; and if vou endeavor to com
pensate for this imperfection in their
nature by the frequency with which yon
repent theni, you suffer more than you
gain, by the fatigue of the faculties, and
the diminution of sensibility.
These pleasures, after all, have their
I value: and as the young are always too
' eager in their pursuit of them, the old
J are sometimes too remiss, that is, too
studious of their ease, to be at the
pains for them which they really de-
serve.
Happiness consists in health. By
' health I understand, as freedom from
bodily distempers, as that tranquillity,
firmness and alacrity of mind, which"
we call good spirits", and which may
properlvX-nough be included in our no
tion of health, as depending commonly
upon the same causes, ana yielding tb
the same management, as bur bodily
constitution.
Health, in this sense, is the one thing
needful. Therefore no pains, expense,
self-denial or restraint to which we sub
ject ourselves for the 'sake of health is
too much

Two Little Immigrant.
Frank Macoy and Charles, his
brother, were unloaded from the steam
ship England at Castle Harden on
Wednesday. It was about noon. when,
for the first time in their lives, they -et
foot upon American soil. Thev traveled
. . - .... . . !
without e-cort. The fact that .special I v
drew attention to them wa- that Frank
Maeev was si and a half ear-of age.
and tliat Charles, his brother, was four
and a half. They had been wildly beset
in attempting to cros.s to this country
from Liverpool. Shipping original! in
the steamship Krin. that vessel had
been -o tempe-t-toed that she was
obliged to put back for repairs to the
port" from which she sailed. In the
eonfu-ioii on board the Krin the tickets
of tin Maeev brothers were lo-t, but
the National Line did the right thing
by them, and they were transferred to
the Kngland, arriving safely at New
York, as said.
The brothers Maeev wore plain but
comfortable clothing, and an air of j
great confidence. Their whole lug- '
gage was contained in a leathern satch-1
el 1iie:isiiring about twelve inches by j
eight, and fatly packed. The hand of
Charles was "securely clasped in the;
hand of Frank Maeev as the pair as-I
cended the gang-plank from the immi
grant barge.
"Hallo!" said the official who was
checking the names of the steerage list;
" there's two immigrants slipped in be
tween my leg-."'
It was Frank Maeev and Charles, his
brother, to whom the ollicial referred.
Colonel T.awlor. of the Garden, received
the travelers inside. To him they com- '
implicated the information that their j
father vvas an American, but that thev i
were 15riti-h bom; that thev knew noth-
