STRATEGIC MOVEMENTS s.-The reporters
near the seat of war in Europe, are sadly
puzzled to make up their budgets of war
news and often conflict with each other,
as follows:
The movements of the Crown Prince of
Prussia are equally in doubt. BY one ac-
count, he has halted in his march to Paris,
and is moving with his troops to reinforce
those of Prince Frederick Charles and
General Steinmetz before Metz. Accord
ing to another account, he is actually
marching on Paris. One thing, however,
may be set down as quite certain: the
French people are expecting the appear
ance of Prussan army before Paris, and
are making extraordinary cxertions to put
that city in the best possible state of de-
fence. The vigor with which the work
is pushed forward implies doubt of the
ability of the French armies now in the
field to obtain any signal advantage over
their adversaries, and although the situa-
tan as whole is regarded as much more
hopeful than it was after the defeats of
Worth and Forbach, it is evidently still
critical.

DEDICATION OF ARMSTRONG LooGE.-
On Wednesday afternoon last, the cere-
mony of dedicating the above Lodge was
performed at Foley Woods, near New
port, the Grand Lodge of Delaware, St.
Johns Commandery, No. 1, Knights Tenn
plars, and several subordinate Lodges,
taking part in the ceremonies. The New
ark Cornet Band and tho Wilmington
Cornet Band were present. The Most
Worshipful Grand Master, Rev. John
Collins McCabe, d. d. delivered the ora
ton, of which the following is brief sy-
nopsis:
Masonry is no foe to religion; no cne-
my to government; no disturber of the
civil, social or domestic relations of life.
On the contrary it is the upholder, advo-
cate and protector of all these: and, the
patron of all that is lovely and good
AS an institution it practices no principle
of prescription or persecution. When in
affluence, it has distributed wealth. 1t is
the same in all hands. 1t is mystic tie
which cannot be broken. If half that
has been said against it was true, it would
have been totally extinguished long be-
fore now. The professions and public
offices have all been at times, filled by its
members. 1t is the duty of each member
to so conduct himself, wherever he may
be placed, to excmplify the principles in
culcatcd by the Order. In this age, all
systems are being tried ON their own mer-
its, and in the march of reform, truth
must stand the shock of the conflict
Members of the Order should remember
that the eyes of censorious world are up
on them. beg you as a friend; as a
member of the Ancient Order of Free Ma
sonry; as brother interested in your in
dividual good, your moral as well as your
temporal welfare, to practice the virtues of
morality and integrity and all the Masonic
duties. Look well to your duties as Ma
sons. Conduct yourselves so towards
those who are without, that no blame shall
attach to you, and through you, to your
Order.

LINES TO MY FUTURE HUSBAND.

Unknown mortal who are you?
What is your name, and what your nation
Are you a wise philosopher,
Or, is the critic your profession?
What your treasure ?-is t gold?
Say, have you boarded lots of money,
With which to grant your wife's whims?
Or will you be stingy churl?
wonder what your name will be-
Adolphus, Jim, or Fitz Augustus?
And will you be darling chum?
Or, regular fllibuster?
Where do you dwell 2 in distant wilds?
Or in the haunts of civilization?
Have you temper, sweet and mild?
Or, rough and boisterous as the ocean
What are you dreaming of, my love?
A fancy belle, in giddy Paris
Or, of little forest maid?
Perhaps you dream of some proud heiress.
Well, be you rich, or be you poor,
guess you'll be what Fate DEGREES you
wonder if you'll chance to know
Who I'm to be- when first meet you ?

A letter from Roesville, Queen Anne
county, Md. to the ST. Michacls Comet,
says =
F" Our farmers are very busy shipping
their peaches to market. Some have sold
their entire orchards to j. G. Troger, who
is carrying on two canning establishments,
one at Church Hill, and the other at
Bridgetown. The peach growers say they
have nearly full crop this year, and are
getting very good price for them"

SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1871
Tnr PRlcE OF PrAcnEs.-P,iccg of the

TmE Price OF PEACHES. Prices of the
current peach crop have fallen below pub
lie expectation, although the crop is at
least half million of baskets short of the
crop of last year, and the quality Of the
fruit much better. This fact has set both
the growers and the commission men to
specializing upon the cause of it. Some
have supposed that the carly representa-
tions Of short crop prevented adequate
arrangements to receive and dispose of it,
and deferred some persons from engaging
in it who would have turned their capital
and their energies towards the peach trade
but for these representations. Some have
assigned the cause to a scarcity of money
and to the large number of persons who
are out of employment in the large cities.
Others have supposed that the country
had surfeit of peaches last year, and as
consequence they have not met with so
ready a sale this season. The quantity
canned this year is thought to be less than
last, and it is affirmed that some of the
canned fruit of last season yet remains
undisposed of in the hands of dealers.
Yet another cause for low prices, is thus
suggested in the New York World, OF
Wednesday. That journal says 1.-THE
fruit growers are now suffering severely
from the policy of protection to which the
present Congress has adhered with extra
ordinary pertinacity. We are in the midst
of the fruit season. Our market is glutt-
ed with apples, peaches, plumbs and pears
Not only are prices extremely low, but
large quantities cannot find sale at any
price, but are thrown into the North Riv,
er. This unsatisfactory state of affairs
may be attributed to the high protective
tariff maintained upon sugar. Under ia.
vorable circumstances, vast quantities Of
this fruit would be preserved; this is the
season for that work but the high cost
of sugar greatly restricts it. Common
brown sugar cannot now be sold in largo
lots for less than ten cents per pound
which, if there were but moderate reve.
nue. duty upon it, should not cost ovel
seven cents per pound. This difference is
the ruin of the fruit-growers.
We group all these speculations togcth
er, and leave to our intelligent readers the
task of deducing from them, if they can
the true cause of the low price of fruit
Perhaps the result is dependant upon al
these causes combined.

A Novelty--Cold Water Engine.

Brick Pomeroy, in recent letter
to his y ew York Democrat, from Wa
tertown, thus refers to a great novelty
in use in one of the printing Offices in
the latter city, cold water engine:
This engine is complete success, and
is known as the American Water En-
CINE, and is manufactured and sold by
Hall & Hunt at this place, under pat.
.ent issued December IA, 1860. The ma
chine in operation is supplied simply
with cold water from an inch pipe, doing
the work of turning the power presses OF
the printing office at two-thirds less the
cost Of steam. The how, the why, or the
wherefore Of the invention we cannot
understand or describe from our limited
knowledge but there the thing stands
a little, concise, compact, upright per-
Torrance, occupying no more room than
barrel - an iron pipe brings water to
the water-chcst and another pipe takes il
away. The passage of this water through
the box sets the machinery in motion. =
There is 10 noise, no liability Of cxplo-
sion, no dirt. no heat in summer - in
fact. none of the risks and annoyanccs to
be found in connection with the opera
ton Of machinery by steam. This en-
CINE can be used in all places where a
head of water can be obtained. The cost
is but trilc - the worth of the inven-
ton, millions.
