Havana and New York. We are not advised
of the object of Capt. Clay's visit to Havana,
but we are satisfied that it does not partake
of a military character AS the principal
actor in the exposition and working up " of
the custom house frauds at Brownsville,
Texas, about year since, he gave entire sat
isfactionlto the government but as a revolu-
Zionist. ,se do not regard him as a success.

The MAGNOLIA YACHT CLUB.-On Thursday
night last, a number of enthusiastic yachts
men of Mobile met and formed yacht club,
which they christened the Magnolia Yacht
Club, in honor Of the Magnolia Jockey Club
of Mobile. The following officers for the
coming year were elected: Col. A. ]. Inger-
soil, commodore Messrs. Chas. E. Vincent
and Ed v. George, vice commodores Mr..
Lyman @. Dorgan, secretary, Maj. VIM. s.
Moreland, treasurer, and F. NJ. English,
measurer.
The club Immediately proceeded to take
measures to build large wharf at the Mag
nolia race track, to be used as the headquar-
tiers of the clup.
The soil of the club has already sixty sigma
lures, and will probably soon double that
number. We are glad to hail the advent of
the Magnolia, and look forward to next sum-
mer when we shall see its pennant floating
from the mast heads Of the splendid boats
which Mobile always sends to our reeattas

The London Pail Mall Gazette says: Not
content with choroform, science has produced
knife which cuts so rapidly that the person
operated upon feels no pain. The method was
fully explained the other day to the British
Medical Association by DR.. Richardson, the
inventor, who has slso written to the Times con-
tradicting a statement which appeared in the
paper to the effect that rabbit was eating its
dinner in front while it was being cut to rib
bons in the rear by the instrument in question.
Dr. Richardson tells us this was not the case.
No animal whatever was allowed the privilege
of being subjected to experiment, but he was
anxious to make an experiment, by way Of IL
lustration, on his own body Unfortunately,
he was prevented at the last moment by an
accidental breakage of the instrument, from
carrying out the demonstration.

CHANGE.-A short time ago woman enter
ed the office of Alderman Vincent, looking ex-
aotly as if she was intoxicated. Her dress was
dirty and disarranged. She had no stockings,
wretched shoes showing her bare ankles, and al
together looking very much like a drunken
dirty drab." Still her language was lady-like al
though her breath smelt horribly of liquor. She
stated her troubles had compelled her to take
a little beer. She gave her name. She proved
to be the grand daughter of one of the most
honOred, and the last surviving officers of the
Delaware line oft he Revolutionary war. In 1889
she was married, and was then said to be the
most beautiful bride in this city, Thirty years
had greatly changed her. Her husband had
long since died, and now she had come to COM
plain of her son tor beating her. She showed
her breast, limbs, and arms, all marked with
cruel bruises-proving that she had been i'll
used by some one. The Alderman issued a
warrant but next day she sent word desiring
it to be withdrawn. Her life has been strange
ly diversified. Youth, beauty and abundance
have been succeeded by age, deformity and al
most want. From her case, the gay, the gift.
ed, and the favored by fortune may CLEAN a
useful lesson -Repu6licdn

MonStrous Snapper The largest snapper
we ever saw was exhibited in town on Tuesday
18th. 1t was very old looking animal, and
had, perhaps, seen many generations OF Its
species flourish and pass away. 1t weighed 263
lbs, and was caught in pond, near Glasgow,
Del, by the gentleman who had it on exhlbl,
bition. whose name we did not learn. If it had
been taken at or near Dover, it would not have
been matter of surprise; but that snapper
of such huge dimensions should have been
caught near the unpretending and sleepy VAL
lage of Glasgow, is fact utterly astounding. -

A correspondent of the Wilmington Com
n,erciaL, writing from Milford, August 18th,
says: The drought is playing havoc through the
high lands in this section. The corn on the
high ground is burning up, and there will not
be half crop, and among the poor land in
Sussex on a great many farms there will not be
bushel to the acre. We notice however, that
in the low, stiff lands the corn looks we'll, and
if we should have a rain soon we think there
will be half crop while others say there will
not be more than fourth of a crop on an av-
erage; for on an examination of great many
of the ears that look full, they find the grains
scattering and the ears nothing like full But
to make the best of it, it is bad enough, and we
understand that through the county. a great
many wells have dried up and some of the far
mers have to go miles to water their stock
Unless it rains soon it will certainly be very
distressing through some portions Of thii
neighborhood.

FossIL4-Remains of highly valuable char
acter, it is reported, have been recently discov-
cred in the mari beds, about twelve miles south
east of Burlington. The bones of a mastodOm,
a fossil fish, and other prehistoric animals,
have heen disinterred. A molar tooth, four
teen inches in circumference, four inches in
breadth, and weighing two pounds has been
found, and bone eight feet long and eight
inches in diameter, has also been taken out
AS soon as the discovery was became known,
the grounds were visited by number of scien-
tifc gentlemen, who commenced exploring and
took out among other remains the rib of a
whale, the snout of a sword fish, and several
sharks teeth The mari bed is declared to be
rich in geological deposits, and the search will
be continued in order to obtain the complete
skeletons of the animals

Not drop of rain has fallen at Philadelphia
since Aug 4th, the night of the great whisky

great damage to the corn from the drouth in

No RAIN YET.-The hot and dusty weather
still continues, although we have been promis-
ed several tines by the signs of the times with
heavy showers of rain. Vegetation is suffer
ing greatly; the corn in many places it is fear
ed, will be cut off by more than half crop
Our streets are dusty to a degree we have
rarely seen them. At this writing we are in
the midst of the hottest weather probably Of
the season. As if however to compensate for
the general loss, by the absence Of rain, the
peaches are being shipped in larger quantities
than has ever been known, and which is pro-
baby owing in great measure to the drought,
which enables growers to pick them in better
condition.
Reports from the lower part of the State
show a distressing state of affairs. The wells
and streams in some localities being dry, anC
the farmers are compelled to drive their stock
two or three miles to water them.
The Schuylkill river is lower now than i
has been for number of years, and Philadel
