Up and Down the Delaware.

The Philadelphia Ledger of yesterday says:
On Sunday some of the larger steamboats,
plying up and down the river were crowded
with passengers, large proportions of them
being composed of family parties-father,
mother and children. This was probably the
case with all the steamers, but we speak of
those only that came under our immediate OBJ
servation. They are we'll patronized during
the week also, but of course not to the extent
they are on Sunday, for there are but few
comparatively who can spare the time tor the
holiday on any other day than Sunday.
These opportunities for excursions at cheap
rate of fare on the Delaware river boats are
among the best means for getting " fresh air,
"change of scene" and agreeable diversion
within the reach of the hundreds of thousands
who do not or cannot go to the seashore, the
mountains, the springs, the country" or
other places of summer resort. They range
from Trenton and Burlington up the river to
Bombay Hook and Collins Beach down the
bay embracing large numbers of intermediate
places, SO that the excursion can be made long
or short at pleasure They embrace also great
varieties of scene and all the advantages of ex
cursions by water, including the great novelty
to most people, the breezes from the salt water
and dip into the sea.
So much by way of general remark appi-
cable to all the steamboats, employed in this
make special mention of particular boat, d
distinction which it IL unusual for this paper
to make. The steamboat Ariel which for a
time was making tr-weekly trips down the
bay, has more recently been making runs
daily down and up. The excursion trips
thus afforded have been very largely availed
of by ladies and children, and this result is
mainly attributable to the fact that, while
ample provision has been made for other re-
freshments, no Liquors have been sold on
board the boat. There have been no attrac-
tions on the Ariel for the sort of men and
big boys who go on excursions to drink and
"carouse," and such persons and parties
consequently keep away. What satisfaction
and comfort are expressed in this one simple
fact to the we'll behaved people who delight in
these river trips as the means of wholesome
enjoyment, can be easily understood by hun
dreds of excursloniSts who have on some occa
sions seen every decent passenger aboard a
steamboat deprived of all enjoyment 10y the
noisy behavior and prOfane talk Of a few half
drunken men, or thrown into a state of alarm
by an uprO iriOuS row among parties out for
car0use. Of course We do not mean to be
understood that these unpleasant scenes occur
always on steamers where liquors " art
sold, for we know thar such is not the case
But they do sometimes occur, and it is for tina
reason that for the information of ladies anC
their children, we make special mention of a
least one boat whore they are not likely t
occur, and to which such characters are no
likely to be attracted

A stranger fell from the upper deck of the
steamer Sue on Saturday afternoon on b +
down trip, when ten miles above Cape May.
A lady gave the alarm and they backed the
steamer and lowered boat and caught him,
but life was extinct and could not be restored.
As froth was at his lips, he must have had
cOnvulsions. He was fine looking, very well
dressed, and weighed about two hundred
pounds. Nothing was found on his person to
identify him. He held ticket to Lewes, Cape
HenlOpen, where the boat was bound after Ian
ding at Cape May. He was entiry unknown
on board.

The Illinois Democratic State Central Com.

Tor State convention at Springfield on August
70, The call is made liberal enough to include
all opponents of the present republican admlD-
istraton and is indorsed by several prominent
republicans, among them being the editors and
proprietors Of the Illinois Staats Zeitang and
OF the Chicago Times. A union ticket for
state officers will no doubt be the result.

The Best Organs on Most Favorable
Terms,

Cabinet or Parlor Organs are capital
things for peddlers to work with, be-
cause very poor ones can be made at
half the cost Of good ones, and few peo-
pie are competent to tell the difference

turers print in their catalogues prices
which are three or four times as high
as the value of such cheap work. Then

do by offering organs for time pay.
