The Boston Jubilee.

The Boston jubilee which commenced June
18th closes on the 4th, to- morrow. 1t is chiefly
a series Of mammoth concerts The great
feature of last week was the Presidents day,
on Tuesday, when the Coliseum was filled to
Overfowing. Over 5000 people were turned
away from the doors. Twenty thousand tickets
for standing places were sold. The audience was
estimated at 20, 900. The foreign bands ioined
with the Marine Band, of Washington, in per-
forming Hail to the Chief" in honor Of
President Grant, who, with Secretaries Fish,
Boutwell, and Robeson, Senator Wilson, and
other distinguished guests, occupied seats in
the centre of the auditorium. Tie President

the vast audience.

first choral, followed by Homage to Colum.

dorf, accompanied by the Grenadier Garde
Band. Madame Peschka- Leutner gave her
aria and variations, and repeated it in reply to
an encore. Strauss electrified the audience
with two Of his waltzes. The German Grena-
der Band gave fantasia from Les Hugue-
nOts, which was received with great favor.
The Anvil Chorus was repeated, with the usual
outside accOmpaniments. An original hymn,
" Hail Gentle Peace, was sung by the chorus
and audience, with magnificent effect The
"Star Spangled Banner" was given with great
eclat. The overture to Tampa" by the
Garde Repubiicaine Band, was rapturously
applauded. The jubilee singers from Nash
vile were received with the customary furore.
A military march, entitled 1.-The Prussian
Prize, closed the most brilliant programme OF
the jubilee season.
Wednesday evening, the grand ball was at

How GREELEY STANDS Now.-For the last
several weeks we have endeavored to keep q
list of the Democratic State Conventions, and
record their doings with reference to Mr..
Greeley. Since our last issue six more States
have had Conventions, and each Convention
has endorsed the Philosopher" The States
are-New Jersey. Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi,
Virginia and Ohio. These represent an
aggregate of l64 votes in the national Demo
cratic Convention to be held at Baltimore,
commencing next Tuesday, July 9Th. Upon
investigation, we find that there are now
twenty eight States that have endorsed Gree
ley and only one that has opposed him-Dela-
ware. Mr. Greeley's paper, the Tribune, sums
up the case thus: 1.-The whole number of votes
IN the Baltimore Convention is fixed at 1872, OF
twice that of the whole vote of the Electoral
College. Two-thirds Of the vote of the Con
vention will be 4ss; so the Liberal element
already directed TO Baltimore will have l3z
votes more than two-thirds 1t is pretty clear
that the Liberal programme will be adopted OIL
the first ballot"
These twenty-eight States will cast $40 votes
according to the summing up, for Greeley
and Delaware will cast votes for a straight
Democratic ticket for men who think tha
the three last clauses of the Constitution arr
null and void, and that 81 the State of Della
ware, having rejected them as a sovereign
State, is not morally bouOd by them"
Evidently Delaware is in fix, so far as tn,
Baltimore Convention is concerned. 1t helC
Its Convention too soon. Had it delayed thre
weeks longer, or until the other States held
their Conventions and Sam Townsend turned
his coat, it would have been thoroughly il
accord with the sentiment of the party. l
would never have put that tail-piece to its reso
lutions, auI J.eciey could have added ST
more votes to the 62O he already figures u
for himself in the Tribune There would hay
been no blunder if the Convention had bee
held the last Tuesday in June instead of tn
second Tuesday.
As it is the party is at loggerheads. Thre
of its papers are for Greeley, two are bitterl
opposed TO him. and two are for anybody {
anything the Baltimore Convention tells thel
TO "go for"

AN ODITY IN WIIMINGroN.--A crazy religious
enthusiast created some excitement in Wilmington
last Friday. The Commercial says: Edward U.
Blake, an "Itinerant Evangelist" with horse and
carriage, all looking rather "seedy," in town
yesterday. Blake attracted considerable attention,
account of his eccentric manner. HIS hat,
which was Of the old "bell crown" order, was pla-
carded all with scripural quotations, painted
in large letters, aud the breast of his shirt, which
evidently "A stranger to the virtues of soap and
water for many long day, was the following in.
scrpti1n a leather surface" 81 love the Lord"
"Do you love him2' HIS carriage, too, spread
oil with Scriptural texts, from which the
harness on his horse was not exempt. He carried
with him large quantity Of tracts, and circulars,
which he distributed very freely while in front of
the Post Office. In reply to the question Of by
stander, he stated that he believed Tie Old aud New
Testament to be true, but that our Lord had ap
peared earth at his second coming, thirty years
ago, and that he (Blake) WAS writing up and pub.
fishing a continuation Of the Bible TO cover the time
Of Christ's second coming. The circulars and tracts
he distributed said to be, "Wrtten by lnspira
lion through his chosen Instrument, Paulina Bates

1t is now stated that z. P. johnson, Esq,
of the Gazette, is looming up among the Demo
Gratis of New Castle as Gubernatorial candi-
date. This would be a good nomination, doubt
less, but we hear from sources in this quarter
of the State, that James Williams, Esq, Of
Kenton Hd., and one of the Baltimore dele
gates, has risen head and shoulders, recently,
above any other aspirant named for the candi-
dacy. He is decidedly anti Greeley. Mr.. j. H.
Bewley, of this town, has been regarded as in
the line of succession, however, with the
"ring," but what may be the upshot between
this time and the campaign of two years hence
is not for US TO predict.

SAN. TOWNSEND, after nearly disorganizing
the late Democratic Convention with his anti
Greeley notions, and entirely muddling the
platform with his stubborn white s-party
thunder, has suddenly Topped over to the Gree
ley side, and airs his reasons for sodoing in
the Middletown Transcript. This sudden
whirl is neither surprising nor important, yet
his ideas in the premises will be read with in
terest. He says:
The South, who, had hoped would have
held a convention and established White
Mans party, have not seen proper to do it, as
probably they did not want to establish sec
tlonal party, and smarting under the perhdy of
the New Departure Democrats, have deter
mined in all their State conventions, but
Delaware, that as it has to be negro equality
candidate, they, for the present, would rather
vote for man out of the Democratic party,
than to vote for a per6dious New Departure
Democrat, some old party bag that could bring
no strength to the party, and ii he should
accidentally happen to be elected, he would
have all his New Departure Democratic Office
holders cut and dried, ready for Office. Seeing
no chance at present of the South establishing
such party as | prefer. and since our State
convention, every old slave State has shown a
preference for Greeley and Brown, the Cincin-
natl nominees, Delaware may as well go with
her sisters. A New Departure Democrat stinks
In my nostrils worse than any Liberal Republi-
can, and, therefore, as Northern and Southern
Democrats cannot agree on a candidate, or act
in confidence and harmony since the New De-
parture betrayal of 1871, it is better for all to
unite on a candidate, even if he is an outsider.
The Democratic party, since the New Depart.
ure treachery, can never rally as a national
party, and in this State, Delaware, it has be.
come like Joseph's coat-so patched with old
wings, it were hard to tell the original stuff il
was made of

SMYRNAs SrRAwBERRY SHIPMENTs.-The ship
ments of strawberries from Clayton and BIenipl d
for the season Just closed, from May 23d TO June
goth, as follows:
Crates. Quarts.
Clayton, 1882 l75,l47
Brenford, 3,2S2 l33 22l
This statement is furnished us, by request, from
the office of Transportation, p w. & b. R.R. One
thing will strike the attention Of growers. and
that is the immense increase of the shipments from
Clayton. Heretofore nearly all growers were
more convenient to Brenford and that station, for
the seasons of '70-'7l was the principal station for
this fruit But this year the farmers around Clay
ton entered the ring and Brenford is dstanced, not
withstanding its increase last year. The
following table of comparisons will show the
increase in the crop since 1870:
Clayton, 10000 OTIS. $1,000 l75,l47
Brenford, 40, 679 ll2,n0O l33,22l
The increase from Clayton is about $50 per cent.
and from Brenford about l9 per cent. Had the
weather been as favorable this year last the in
crease would have been much greater. The increase
IN yield is not in proportion TO the increase In
acreage. Last year the price per quart, clear of
freight and commission, estimated at 10 cents
this year the estimate is l2 cents The amount
Of land on which these 3O8368 qts. Clayton and
BTentold) were grown is approxImaed at about IOO
| acres as estimated bv of the growers who
have taken The pains 10 investigate the subject.
This is by no means exact. yet it may answer for a
basis. The income TO the shippers from Clayton and
Brenford from these hundred acres is therefore
S37 ,OO4l6. While not good as last year, (and
such prices were not expected realized last
year, 1t Is better than any thing else tho farmers
can produce. 1t is about $500 per acre. The
figures would indicate 1870 per acre, but it must be
borne in mind that about 10000 qts Of the Clayton
shipments were rom the Md. Il Del. road.
The acreage in this crop in this section will be,
next year, it is estimated, about $50 acres. One
gentleman alone will have 80 acres in bearing,
whi-h he set out this Spring, and number have
set ont from 10 5 Ii is presumed that this
will "touch bottom in Strawberries, and estimating
the revenue next year 10 be as much as has been
realized tins, and it will make an aggregate o
! Sl29 5 from the $50 acres.
