interest was manifested by the respec-
tive friends ofeach.

going on among the employees OF the

voting a watch to the cleverest man on

Bob French, OF The passenger line, and
VIM. 81. Harrison, Superintendent of
the company's works in this city. Votes
to the amount of some $500 have al
ready been given, and we believe at the
latest count Gen. French was neck
ahead. A handsome watch awaits one

MURDOCH AT WASHINGTON HALL
LAST NIGHT.-A highly intelligent au-
dience gathered at Washington Hall
last night, to hear the first series of Mr..
Murdoch's readings for the benefit of
the Library Association. We need not
say that the eminent eulocutionist
fully sustained his reputation as mas
ter in his profession. Perhaps Mr..
Murdoch has no superior among dra-
matte readers. We doubt If even Chas.
Dickens ever delineated any of the
creations of his own genius with more
effect than did Mr.. Murdoch in his ex-
tract from the Pickwick papers las'
night.
In his Shaksperian selections he Is of
course perfectly at home, for amid
these his life as tragedian has been
passed. Tomorrow night he will give us
some further specimens from the great
poet, and will also read, among other
pieces from different authors, the cele-
brated Bardell and Pickwick trial scene
from Dickens.
Tickets for reserved seats will be for
sale at Sheib's music store to-day and
tomorrow.

Child Murder.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Republic has paragraph
calculated to startle people who dwell
outside the charmed circle of fashiona-
ble life. We quote:
1t is melancholy fact, attested by the
observation, daily, of every medical
man of average practice, that but two
problems perplex the brain of the mar
ried women of fashion, in New York,
at the present day. One is, how to
avoid having children, and the other,
how to get rid of them after they are
born? The recent philippics of rcver-
end bishops Of the Episcopal Church
against antc-natal infanticide indicate
the measure of success which has at
tended the solution of the former. The
swelling mortality among little boys
and girls, that invariably follows the
summer campaign at watering places.
shows what progress is making to-
wards a successful working out of the
latter

The Watermelon Trade.

boat a day arrives from Baltimore,
bringing an average Of $500. By an
other line, semi weekly from the South,
the cargoes are still greater. On Mon
day 5000 came by Il single vessel. They
have been wholesaling for about $40 a
