Sunday School Convention and Stockhold.
ers' Meeting at Rehoboth.

Most of the delegates from Elkton to the
Sunday School Convention at Rchcbolh.
left this place early on Thursday morning
and drove to kirkwood, MEele they took
the ESQ excursion train and proceeded
down the railroad, reaching Rehoboth at
1880 \. NJ. They give sad account of
their suffering from the heat the dust being
very plentiful and land breeze prevailing
added much to their discomfort.
At Harrington, an old wood burning en-
CINE was attached to tie train, which in its
frantic efforts to reach its destination, puff
ed and snorted and filled the cars with
smoke and cinders. However, the train
reached Rehoboth about 10i o'clock, Just
in time to see the end OF the morning SEES
sion, for the Convention adjourned soon
after the arrival of the train, and the cler-
ical brothers went for the salt sea brine
like a flock OF thirsty ducks.
The Convention began on Wednesday
and was presided over by Bishop Scott,
who made some remarks upon the Spirit
of God now present." bat from a rcsolu-
ton which was subsequently offered it ap-
pears that there was different kind CT
spirit present in one or both OF the hotels,
and that dancing, card playing and whisky
drinking bad become alarmingly prevalent.
The resolutions were supplemented by a
speech by Rev. Geo. r. Bristor and a COM
mittee appointed to present them to the
stockholders, which they did at their meet
ing in the afternoon. Whereupon the Rev.
J. b Quigg offered the following preamble
and resolution in the Board of Stockhod-
crs, which, after some discussion, was
adopted:
WHEREAS, Dancing and card play ing
have been practicrd ut the hotels in de-
ilance of the known rules Of this asSocia-
ton: therefore
ReSolced, That the Committee on Order,
or any member of the same, be aud is here
by instructed to expel from these grounds
any one guilty of the violation of the rules
of the association referred to, and that
notice of this determination be posted up
on the grounds of the association.
We were informed by one of the dele
gates from Eikton that notices were posted
in the hotels in accordance with the spirit
of the above resolution and that those
guilty of violating the rules of the associa-
ton were given their choice to discontinue
the obnoxious practices OF leave the ground
by Thursday evening.
The Elkton delegates reached home on
Thursday about midnight, tired and weary
and worn, and are strongly of the opiui,
that SO far as pleasure was concerned the
excursion was 4 failure.

IT is estimated by Mr.. Rosevalev,
the converted jew that Of the $50, 900
Germans in New York city, no, 900 are
Jews. No jew, he afIirms, was ever
known to sleep in a station house or
turn bootblack. Rotchschid, the head
of the German house of that name, who
loaned Turkey nearly four hundred
millions Of dollars, looks so shabby and
poor that you would feel like offering
him penny. He thinks that Jewish
boy who starts with five cents on Mon
day will come out head of the Gentle
boy on Saturday night, allowing the
latter start of 81 30.

BISMARK'S GREATEST TRIUMPH.

The Congress of Berlin has accom-
plished great work in short time
The outcome of its deliberations can be
seen by any one who will study the pro-
visions of the treaty effected This docu-
ment is worthy of the most careful at
tention. 1t is the product of the wisest
craftsmanship Of our times, applied to
the solution of problems the most diff
cult ever offered to diplomacy for solu-
ton. 1t is triumph of the civilization
of Europe, as opposed to the doctrine
that "might makes right" And in
this assertion of the supremacy of
reason, civilization and good sense, the
future of Europe and of Asia has re-
ceived new guarantees.
The successful conduct of the ses-
sions of the Congress is more especially
due to Bismarck than was expected at
its opening. Like all great men who
use the last argument OF nations
with tremendous energy until the ends
of war are accomplished, he was not
credited with entire sincerity in his
profession of an earnest desire to pros
ecute peaceful designs with equal ear
nestness and single mindedness But the
results show that he has been misunder-
stood. From the first to last, he
brought the whole power of his mas
terful nature to bear on the side of
Cancellation. No one else could have
constrained Russia to make the con-
cessons she did, or could have held
Austria within the limits of moderation

TIE revival of solid prosperity is
beginning in the West, which cannot
long be prosperous without building up
the manufacturing and commercial East.
The best evidence of the rapid growth
of the West in the means of producing
values is found in the settlement of its
wild lands For instance, the land
sales Of the State of Kansas from
January to May amounted to nearly
$1,000, 0O0-nearly ten times as much
as for the corresponding period of 1871
The Kansas journals estimate that, in
addition to the amount derived from
land sales, the immigrants took into the
State fully 100000. This pros
perity is attributed to the excellent
advertising done by the State author
tiles.

Unable dread, this skeleton that ever sat at
the humble board Of the industrious Ger
mans, has destroyed life's sweetness and
made it a burden to them.
TIE CAUSE OF THE ATTEMPTED MURDER,
when the old lady came so near losing her
life, is directly traceable to McGonigal.
The Hartensteins invited a number of their
coiCrcd friends to assist them in grubbipg
piece of ground a few days before the
attempted murder, and McGonigal hearing
oi TINS concluded he would attend the grub.
3!ng also, though he was not invited No
doubt he wanted a share of the whisky. Il
quart or two of which he knew the Harten
stems would have to treat the grubbers.

the afternoon of the grubbing and asked

nm where lie was going to grub, and he
replied he came to the frolic, and had been
invited by one of the coored men at the
request of her husband He got drunk, as
lie always did, when whisky could be pro-
cured, and the old lady was much perplexed
when the 9rubbers came in for their sup
perS to tell whether or not to seat them all
at the same table. SO she said to McGoni-
gal, What are you going to do, Ed? Will
you eat with these colored men or wait till

Old lady's head was bruised and mangled
into Jelly, and for some days no hope was
entertained of her rccovery-indeed she has
not fully recovered yet; and though the
wounds on her head have healed. they have
left a number of unsightly scars that tell
the story of that bloody night. Upon this
occasion the thieves took with them two
watches, which led to the belief that their
object was plumber. Subsequent develop
ments warrant the conclusion that they
intended to murder the old folks also. The
daughter was absent from home at VIII
mington, visiting a friend who lives there,
and it was thought that had she been at
home the burglars might not have escaped
so easily, for she is said to be courageous
and heroic gi:l. Two strangers were seen
i'll the woods net far from the pundered
house the morning after the robbery by
some colored people who were astir early,
making preparations for funeral, who are
believed to have been part Of the gang who
committed the burglary, but this was not
generally known till recently.
The industrious family plodded away,
the atfectonate daughter nursed her old
mother, and the stawart son helped his
aged father, and the neighbors had almost
forgotten the brutal work, until last Sun
