Preparations tor MARI etlng the
I'm ense Pcach Crop.

The prospect of crop of eight or ten
millions of baskets OF peaches from the
Delaware and Maryland peninsula have
stimulated the peach growers to find
markets for the vast product. 1t has
been settled that fruit train will be dis
patched every day over the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad to the cities OF the
West as far as Cincinnati, Indian apolis
and Chicago Contracts have been made
for 1,150 cars for the shipment Of the
fruit to New York City and Eastern cit
les, and there is besides likelihood that
the American steamship Company OF
Philadelphia will dt up their vessels with
refrigerators for = new peach trade with
Liverpool. 1t is thought that $4,000 to
10000 baskets may be transported each
trip on these vessels, and that the ven
ture will pay. Middletown, Delaware,
will be the great collecting and distribu
ting point,where an immense cooling es-
tabIishment has been erected to secure
favorable aud uniform temperature for
temporary storage OF fruit awaiting
transportation. All the Chesapeake land
ings will also be collecting points for
the Eastern shore OF Maryland for the
bay and river steamers to Baltimore, by
which hundreds of thousands OF crates
and baskets OF fruit will come to this
market for packing or distribution. The
energy of the peach growers In finding
markets for their perishable crops,utiliz
ing all the modern modes for quick trans
portation to distant points will be OF i'm.
mense benefit to the section they repre-
sent, which Is no doubt the greatest peach
orchard OF the world. The fruit is ear
lier and better than the Jersey fruit, and
therefore has more money In it. Here
tofore the shipments have always been
large to New York and Baltimore for
consumption and canning,but there have
never been before in the history OF the
trade such Indications Of an immense
and widespread enterprise and adequate
remuneration as at present.

Terrible Storm "A City wrecked
in Ten Minutes.

New York, July 27.-A correspon-
dent at Geneva gives an account this
morning OF terrible storm which broke
over that city at midnight, Wednesday,
7th inst. 1t did not last much longer
than ten minutes, and at the end of il
Geneva was wrecked as no army of be-
siegers could have wrecked it in the
same time. The storm came in the
shape OF compact mass, sheet Of ice
driven horizontally before the tempest
In the first instant every lamp in the
streets were smashed to atoms and ex-
tinguished, bat the city was not in dark
ness, for the masses of coagulated hail
reflected the blue lights Of the light
ming, in CHASTITY ominous manner. In
the suburbs of the city, the tiles of many
houses were beaten into powder. Stout
partitions of wooden plank, were pierced
by holes such as might have been made
by musket balls. Three persons were
killed by the fall of farm house.

PendiesOn's Speech.

With an energy which nothing but the
most grasping avarice could inspire, the
money-srabbers have been laboring un
ceasingly to place the Democratic party
in false position before the people on
the currency question; an6 there was rea-
son to apprehend that they were partially
successful. Some timid patriots were
beginning to harbor vague fears that the
Democrats, OF Ohio. especially, were
Matching out some diabolical scheme to
bring greenbacks to par with waste pa
per, and to repudiate all debts, govern
mental and private.
The whole subject of the relation of
our party to that question stood sorely in
need Of some master mind to take it'out
of the mists and fogs with which the enc
mics of the party had surrounded it, and
to place out in clear sunlight, so that a
wayfaring man, though a foul, need not
err therein.
This duty was performed by Mr. PEN
DLEroN with pre-eminent ability in his
speech at Gallipolis. On the next morn
ing the newspapers, friendly, unfriendly
and indifferent, of every State in the Un
ion, gave the speech their attention. 1t
staggered back the whole Wall street
line. Some Of those which had been
most virulent, in their surprise and con-
fusion actually praised it. Even yet they
are discussing it daily, seeking vainly for
some weak point to attack, and evidently
at a loss to know what stratagem to adopt
in order to brea its force
That speech has cleared the brush and
rubbish from the way, and makes easy
the achievement Of a victory for the peo-
pies interests.
Wewill publish portions, at least, of
the speech, at an early day.

The Fate OF the Trade Dollar,

From the San Francis sco Call, July 10.
1t was stroke OF policy on the part
of our Government 10 devise in the
trade dollar coin which should COM
pete with the Mexican dollar, and event
ually drive it almost out of the Chinese
market. After reaching that country
it encounters an SYNONYMOUS fase The
Chinese send 1t to India for the purchase
Of opium. They 60 into the Calcutta
Mint and come out as rupees, which are
stamped with the native characters on
one side and the value of the piece on
the other. The trade of China with In
dia in opium exceeds that Of all com
modities, as is shown by the reports of
the Chinese customs service. The
amount returned for the last eight years,
exclusive OF the amount smuggled, which
would probably double it, is G97, ,440,
$50. The amount of American silver
which annually goes to India from China
to pay for opium is immense. A base
use for so beautiful coin as the trade
dollar, surely.

RThe city papers have methods Pc


~ The city papers have methods pc
culiar to themselves for conveying
false impression of what public senti-
ment is on a subject. Half-a dozen Of
them are furnished with leader a day
on the topic, and each one daily copies
the leaders of all the others.
This bit Of strategy is being played
with zeal on the currency question. The
Cincinnati Commercial, the Chicago
Times, and three or four New York pa.
pers each furnish for the others column
a day, which is copied with scrupulous
care, and this is given 10 the country
as public opinion; while in fact it is but
the iterated and reiterated clamor Of a
coterie of Wall street organs.
Half dozen iutelligently edited coun-
try papers are far better opponents
of public sentiment, because they have
equal opportunities fol. ascertaining it,
and are, in our opinion, q little more
likely to give an honest expression to II
than are the papers named.
