PEACHES AND PoLiTlCs-THR PEOPLE DIS

Especial Correspondence Of KvBRY RvzEIsa
DOVER, DEL August 2Sth, 1877.
There is not much to note here in which
EVERY EVENING would feel interested.
But still, halting for day, l will give you
a few items which you are at entire liberty
to use or refuse as you think best.
Politics are rather dull. The supcrllu-
ous gas was pretty much blown oil imme-
diatcly after the two great national con .
venlions things are now lltely to remain
quiet until the beaches go to market aud
the weather getscoOler.
Indeed people here are about equally dis
appointed and equally disgusted with both
peaches and politics; aud for the same
reason-neither pdgi and. after this sea-
, son, should not he surprised If many
people who have been dabbing in both
won discard the two together.
Sill, the politicians arc hard TO choke
| of, and the campaign may soon open in
earnest. Indeed, there are some indica-
lions of it now, for j learned to-day that a
small band of faithful Republicans

Democratic ticket will be completed. 81
the biennial entertainment will come of

Democrats or ali Republicans, withou

much deviation from the usual routine o

An interesting geological feature of this
region Is the remarkable action Of the
wind 10 producing dunes, or travelling
sand hills, At Cape Henlopen. One ot
the most striking objects In approaching
from the sea is the singular barren OK

long ridge back of the common low sand

overwhelming everything in its path,
certain and irresistible rs fate. A vast
mass of sand, brought down by the Della
ware river, is cast up by the waves on
Tie exposed cape and then taken in
charge by the winds aul borne inland.
The mode in which such hills travel is
= is; the slope Is exceedingly gentle On
the wiudWard side and steep On the Ice
ward. The sand is blown upward along
the slight ascent, iill t. reaches the crest,
