The TripOli Insult.

WASHINGTON, Ang. @.-No information
has yet been received here in regard to the
action taken by the United States steamers
Congress and Hartford, which recently ar
rived at Tripoli to demand reparation for
the insult offered to the American Consul
and his wife in that city short time since,
though the officials here have no doubt that
the whole matter will be soon arranged to
the satisfaction of our Government. The
Congress and the Hartford arrived at Tri-
poll on last Saturday, and it is not probable
that any intercourse was held with the Tri-
politan authorities before Monday.
The negotiations are being conducted by
Captain Earle English Of the Congress.
Should the Tripolitan authorities refuse to
make reparation upon his demands, Rear
Admiral Worden, commanding the Eu.o-
pean station, will be directed to proceed to
Tripol with all his force and there await in
structions of the department.

Total

The markets on Saturday were simply
glutted everywhere in New York and Phila-
delphia, good fruit was sold for mere song,
and poor fruit was thrown or given away.
In the West the market was not so bad, al
though the peaches did not bring remunera-
tive prices, and the Boston markets were
very little if any better.
This morning as the markets are generally
eldan and as the shipments We're moderate
on Saturday it is quite probable that fruit will
bring better prices and that the markets will
be lighter. The heaviest shipment of fruit
have now been made and the latter part of
the season it is thought will be more remu-
nerative to the growers.
Our local markets on Saturday, were we'll
supplied with good and prices ruled low.
Excellent fruit could be bouget for 25 cents
a basket, and inferior peaches sold at 5 and
10 cents per basket. The markets next
week will be supplied with very good
peaches, but not in so large quantities as
has been the the case last week.
The fruit hereafter will be of the later
varities and although no better than previ-
GUS varieties will keep much letter and is
better for preserving and canning.

THEIR QUARTERLY IN THIS CITY YEsTER
DAY-AL LARGE ATTENDANCE.


Yesterday morning, Wilmington was alive
with crowds 81 the cof0fgd foaks, wAsy ssa-
gregated hither from the neighboring cities
and surrounding country. The event was a
quarterly meeting held in and about the COL
ored church at Ninth and French streets.
The colored folks began to crowd in the
city early in the morning, and by noon the
streets were alive with the assembled hosts.
From all the country round vast crowds of
them could be seen in every kind of vehicle
known to the modern road, and those who
were not fortunate enough to obtain con-
veyance walked. The train from Phila-
delphia containing large number of cars
was crowded to its utmost capacity. The
exercises were held at Ninth and French
in the morning and afternoon, and although
the church could not begin to hold the vast
crowds which had gathered in the city, the
number who were compelled to wander
about the town were as general thing
very orderly aud well behaved,
most of them left. in the afternoon but quite
a number were in the city in the evening.
The number that went to Philadelphia
was so large that a special train was nee
cessary to carry them away and the other
trains that left Wilmington were crowded.
The day was quite a jnbilee among the
colored folks and they seemed to thoroughly
enjoy It.

WHAT Il CAUCUS is.

Yesterday afternoon reporter of The
HERALD while walking down Ninth street
heard discussion between two colored men
which partook so much Of the political in
it's earnestness that he was tempted to stop
short distance off and pay attention. One
of the parties to the discussion was short
fellow of the darkness of midnight, when
neither the stars nor moon are shining, and
a thunder storm is threatening to come up
every moment. The other was about the
same here that the old fashioned horse cake
is when it has been Drowned too much. The
black man with arsair of gravity that would
have graced Webster or a Sumner, said:
"See here Sam. De white folks down in
our ward am talking bout caucus, now,
what wants to know is, what am a eau
cuss' The brighter of the two replied:
"To de best of my lection, it am cork
dat de Democrats pulls out of de whiskey

"Pretty hard specs"

to de quarterly meeting and asks forgivness
for de hard cussing we hab got before us, de
better it will be when de day of judgment
comes for both of u.s."
They went off, apparently, to ask that
and'the reporter went too.
