" RICE STE R.
THURSDAY. AUGUST &c. 1879.

Another prince is now visiting New York.
Augustus, of Sake Coburg, husband of the
late princess imperial Leopoldine of Brazil, as
one Of the city papers describes him, from which
we infer that with princes even death does not
break the bonds of marriage. Augustus ar
rived in the steamer North America on Monday
night but, as she entered the bay after sun
down, she was not admitted to quarantine and
the prince, like the other passengers, was
obliged to stay on board all night In the
morning he was allowed to land, and the only
token CO special respect shown him was that
his trunks were exempted from the usual scru-
Tiny Of the custom house officers. Nobody was
present to receive him on his landing, and he
was driven up Broadway in the same
manner that any private gentleman
might have BEEN" The prince had
no objection to this lack of ceremony; on the
contrary, he seems to have liked ii, but it was
shocking to the New York reporters. On his
way up town to the Brevoort house, the prince
saw the "temples of trade" the ice carts and the
street sweeping machine, all of which served to
amuse him, and the last especially was an object
of much curiosity and wonder, the more so when
his attendant had assured him that he had never
seen such machine in Germany or anywhere
else. On arriving at the hotel unannouneed he
found his way to the office and was confronted
by the clerk, who, with the lofty manner affected
by persons in that occupation, silently pointed
to pen and then to the register as pantomim-
ic method of suggesting to the visitor that his
name must be inscribed therein. This was done,
aud the clerks indifference changed to seryility
when he found written there, "Prnce Augustus
Cohurg." This high born gentleman travels
with only one attendant is about six feet in
height, studies simplicity in dress, and is unos-
tentatious in manner He strolled down Broad
way by himself, and processes to be much
pleased with the city. The length of his stay
in New York is uncertain. He proposes to
travel through the states, and thence to extend
his journey to Australia, Japan, China, India
and Egypt

PARTISAN ABUsE.-Ihe amount of personal
abuse appearing in the partisan papers is APP
palling. While the character Of journalism has
generally advanced, and compares iaYOrably
with that maintained aquarter or half century
ago, there is little improvement in the treat
ment accorded political opponents during a
heated campaign. Now as ever the man most
abused Is the president, who happens to be
candidate for reelection, and is therefore more
abused than ever. If Nero were living, and
such thing as free press" were tolerated
under him, he could hardly be held up in a
more odious light than the late leader of the
Union armies, who paroled all his conquered
enemies and threatened to resign if any were
prosecuted. OF course it is no answer 10 such
abuse TO say that somebody else, whose purity
is now universally admitted, was assailed
with equal veruence; but it is COM
fort TO know that what VIC hear and read in this
line to-day proves no deterioration of press or
people. Our readers are familiar with the fact
that George Washington was assailed with
bitterness and indecency never since surpassed.
The opposition writers and speakers declared
that he was "tatally destitute Of merit, either
as a soldier or as a man. His morat character
was attacked. He was charged with having
violated the constitution in negotiating a treaty
without the advice of the senate, which treaty
was said TO embrace matters belonging eX-
clusively TO legislative Jurisdictions and for
This his impeachment was publicly suggested.
He was even accused of unlawiully drawing
money from the treasury for his private use.
Perhaps the "best abused man" among our
presidents was Andrew jackson, whose inn
parchment was proposed by men no less eminent
than Henry Clay and John G. Calhoun Yet
Jackson was reelected by large majorites,
receiving nearly all Of the electoral votes Lin
coin was perhaps even more cOarsely and freely
abused than jackson; and he, too was elected
by large majortles, against a man chosen from
the Onion ranks. The reaction against abuse is
sometimes a stronger influence in favor Of
candidate than argument or his own merits
Reasonable people are apt 10 think that where
there is 50 much said about the personality Of
a candidate there must be very little 10 be said
in favor Of the principles Of his opponents. A
great cause will reason more from ideas than
from men. II the former are right, the imper-
iections and errors of the latter will be less con.
sidered. Criticism Is less potent in proportion
as inyectiye becomes more bitter Hence 50

A RURAL WEDDING.-One Of those old-time

Uniontown (Pa) Standard, a few days ago and
it is not our design to make any remarks, but
state the facts Just as they occurred. A young
gentleman and lady, strangers to everybody
here, called on the Squire to get married, The
young man was carrying his shoes in his hands

shoulder long, narrow sack; in one end he

TO the Office the young man refused to goin, but
She, taking hold of his coat, said "Come on,

Esquire, we want to get married" Hold on"
said the young man, "a want to know how
much this Job costs" The price was agreed on,
and in the meantime many had gathered, and
two of the crowd acted as attendants. While
the ceremony was going on one Of the attend

We have waited with some curiosity to see
what reply Mr.. Dooittle would make 10 the
charge, that he made a corrupt use of his inau.
ence, while in the senate, in the case of Conatty
The affidavit and the letters said TO be in his
own hand writing, made this charge matter of
100 much Importance to be treated lightly.
But, so far, he has left the charge unnoticcd. If
he is guilty, an attempt to reply or explain
would probably make the matter worse Is this
the reason for his silence? As he does not
scruple to calumniate others, in his public
speeches, without good reason, he ought TO
show, if he can, that his own hands are clean;
and as he processes, in this campaign, TO be a
relormer, he ought to show that his own con.
duct in relation to the civil SERVICE is not open
to such grave charges as that to which we refer.
This is case in which he cannot afford to be
silent, hoping the matter will elbow over" un-
less he is conscious that no effective reply is
possible.

FAILURE OF THE ENGLISH FRUIT CRoP.-
From every part of the rural districts of Eng
land the most unfavorable reports come of the
fruit crop. The orchards of the west Of Eng
land, which generally by their abundance of
rosy fruit attract the attention of the numerous
eXcursionists who pass by them, are now of an
almost uniform sombreness of dark green
leaves. The Gardeners Magazine says the fruit
crop generally is probably the smallest that the
most experienced and ObSeryant cultivator can
call to remembrance. 1t is certainly but little
better than no crop at all, and in many fruit
growing districts will not pay for gathering,
and therefore, perhaps, will be lost entirely. The
imports of fruit from the continent have been
very much below the average hitherto this year,
and the fact suggests itself that our neigh
bOrs across the channel are in much the same
plight as ourselves us respects this seasons pro-
duct of fruit The peach wall is as barren MS
the apple orchard; there are very few plums or
cherries; pears are thinly sprnkled, but what
few there are exceed the average in size and
beauty; and bush fruits, which never fail en-
tirely, have been fairly plentiful in sheltered
gardens, but lamentably scarce taking the
country through, There can be no mystery
about the cause of the general barrenness of the
fruit garden. The crop was ruined by the sec
ond winter that distinguished the month of
March and great part of the month of April.
heavy fall of snow occurred Just in time to
cripple the growth and destroy the incipient
fruit of the wall trees. When the orchard trees
were later than usual, pushing into bloom bitter
east winds and sharp frosts prevailed, and in
stead Of producing apples and pears and cher
ries, they gave birth to frightfu crowds of black
flies and hairy caterpillars

THE GREAT STEVENS BATTERY AT New
IORK.-OrderS have been issued for an addi-
tional force of men to commence work upon
the famous Stevens battery, and it is expected
by the latter part of the week fully one hundred
men will be employed AS the battery now
lies in the yard at Hoboken it presents an I'M
wieldy appearance, but ere a fortnight a vast
change will be apparent. 1t has been pro-
nounced by naval men to be one of the most
formidable of marine engines of war. 1t is
nearly 300 feet in length, is % feet in width,
and draws q feet of water. Its keel was laid
in 1910. Since then it has Yerged on completion
three times but the changes in naval architect
ure have been so numerous and important
that its frame has been taken apart to conform
to these improvements. The battery's frame is
built ofthe staunchest Of live oak, covered with
teak planking and backed by teak slabs two
feet thick. These are faced on the inside by
two-nch wrought iron plates. Its outer armor
inches in thickness. They are secured to the
woodwork by copper bolts without heads. By
this method the sides Of the vessel are perfectly
smooth, and afford no opportunity by which
shots can displace the plates. Its battery will
consist of seven guns en- bdrbeHe Four OF these
are rihed Rodman's, capable of throwing a solid
steel shot of 500 pounds. The other guns are
rfled Parrots, each throwing a 350-pound steel
pointed missile Her battery has been COM
pleted and only awaits shipment. The engines
are in an advanced state of completion, and can
be placed in the hull within twenty days. Her
PROV is sharp and shaped like wedge. 1t is
composed of an immense mass of iron, backed
by teak longs, and will form an effective Gram"
1t Is confidently expected she will be enabled to
steam at the rate of twelve knots an hour.
