fhO5fK'rs DF THE CONSTRUCTION OF A
RAILROAD FROM LEwEs TO REHoBorH
BEACH.
The present successful seasons at Re-
hoboth Beach, have plainly demonstrated
the superiority Of this place as a summer
resort, and exemplitied the wisdom of the
Camp Meeting Association in raising
these grounds from their previous OBJ
seurlty, and converting them into, the
finest eamp-ineeting location and sum-
mer resort in the country.
But with all its attractions there ia
one great obstacle to the entire success
Of RchOboth. viz The six mile coach
drive from Lewes t. the Beach. To somo
persons this may seem trivial objection,
bat really it Is q serious affair. 4 long
railroad ride is not objected to by plea

have directed their best energies toward:
securing this desired end. Wm. Bright

what his company could do about it,
From the result Of this interview, ant

by, the famous clipper ships which were

day IN the Canton trade carried cannon
to protect them from the piratical at
taeks OF the Malays, and the CALEDONIA
when mounted with her real guns and
wooden gune, looked like n formidahln
vessel OF war. On one of his return
voyages from Canton he sailed close in
by the island of st. Helena, when Napo.
leon was a prisoner there. The British
government had two mcn-of-war crnis-

and he was hailed by one of these cruis-

asked; How IS the Emperor" The

to the capture of the British war vessel

The British officer roughly ordered

himself by writing a letter to Napoleon

closing it In barrel with u little flag

and when he was a safe distance from

lookout on the cruiser discovered it,
and they bore down and captured it
but Captain Barr, with his fast sailing
ship, was safely beyond their reach. Ii

time to carry with them supercargoes
and surgeons, and our late distinguish
