Recorder Halle expressesit as his opinion
that the city has been remarkably quiet
during the past week considering the large
number of strangers visiting it. The cases
before his court have been confined almost
exclusively to disturbances among local,
colored residents. The principal exception
was pyrotechieal display of Pugilism In a
well known hotel, and the offender was
promptlyfned,

Charles G. Beasley for divorce from Ten
uessee Beasley was granted. The petitions
of Elizabeth Dobson for divorce from Al

Scarcely any candidates were observed
about the city yesterday. Inquiry as to the
cause of all this thusness developed the in
teresting fact that nearly all of them had
gone out 10 Tank to dine with their pro-
vincial cousins. 1t is an interesting fact
that one man does not really know how
much he likes another until he has either
fought him or taken dinner with him.
Either circumstance shows up very rapidly
what good points there may be in human
nature.

Mr.. Schurz made a good point in his
speech when he asked attention to the
fact that within the last twelve years OF
war and reconstruction about one-thlrd
OF the voters in the country had at
tanned majority, and had been receiving
their political training, for good or evil.
Necessarily or unnecessarily, this pc
riod of twelve years has been full OF a
spirit which was not that of the fathers
and founders who ordained q govern.

respect for constitutional checks
and for law; who held in
wholesome and jealous fear the

Capitalization of power The boy born

ALREADY the papers are anxionsly
engaged in discussing the prospects OF
the approaching peach crop, 1t is
generally acknowledged that it will not
be as bountiful as that Of last season,
owing to the effect upon the trees OF the
intense cold of last winter. In Della
ware the cold not only killed the buds,
but also the ends OF the lower limbs OF
the trees, and few weeks ago all sup
posed that the entire crop was ire
trievably ruined. The balmy breath OF
spring has, hownver, started into life
the untouched tops OF the peach trees,
and revealed the fact that there would
be at least part Of crop, and in some
places the growers are confident of hav-
ing a full crop. In some parts OF the
State but one-third Of a crop is expected,
but in the peach territory included in
Delaware, providing nothing hereafter
occurs to mar the prospects, more than
half, and perhaps nearly two-thirds OF
a crop will be realized. In Maryland
the crop prospects are better than IN
Delaware, and in the southern part OF
the State the usual crop will be realized.
