and That his remarks would be taken
from the whole chapter. He smoke of
the knowledge of God and His divine
power, which will give us all things per

thot we sEonld earnestly contend for the
faith. He said the gospel often hit him.
and he hoped it would continue; that

US TO glory aud virtue. Here the speaker
dweit on the eraces that is contained in

not to be pious in spots, for the promises

The speaker here referred us to Paul,
who asked the question, "Who shall sep,

Ocean City Excursion.
A GRAND sUCcEss-sAFEsT, CHEAPEST
AND BEST-rHE RIDE DOWN THE
PENINSULA MOST DE-
LIGHTFIIL.


LIGHTFUL.
The excursion to Ocean City, yesterday,
lett wilmington promptly at o'clock a.
IN. About six cars comprised the train
when it left this city, and four more were
attached at Delmar. Great numbers of
people got on board at Middletown and
at the different stations and when the
train reached Ocean City, it was made UP
OF about IL cars comfortably filled. The
excursion arrived at its destination at
ll.3O and the excursionists at once occu-
pied their time in getting dinner. After
dinner they found the bathing excellent,
and the bathing houses were well patron
lied. Some of the bathing houses how
ever are in a deplorable condition, the
boards not being closely nailed together
leaving large cracks, making some as un-
MT Tor the purpose they are used for, as
the open air. The hotels are comfortably
filled, and the city has quite number of
guests from Wilmington. These eXcur-
slons are success, and deserve to be as
well patrOniZed in the future as in the
past.
A sail on the bay is very pleasant and
a trimmer or neater craft than the Dan'l
L. Dukeman, cannot be found. Messrs.
Soper and Crammer the proprietors,
thoroughly understand the art of sailing
and Wilmington folks would do well to
patronize them. The ride down was at
times very dusty, hut apart from that it
was very interesting and exhilarating and
In some instances fully equal to a ride on
the bay,

The Delaware City Case.

The case at Delaware City which some

ease, he deemed it unnecessary to hold

GETTING spooNEY ON THE CARS.

1t is certainly strange how some people
become perfectly oblivious of the presence
Of those around them. The scenes which
are enacted on the trains from Ocean
City at night are interesting and laugh
able in the highest degree. Young peo-
pie may be seen strewn around promis-
cuously, and in one instance couple en-
tertained the whole car by their conspicu-
ously shown appreciation of each other.
Why young men and women cannot re-
serve their caresses for more fitting place
than the cars, is what most people fail to
understand. This thing may be very ac-
ceptable to some persons, but to others it
is equa ly annoying and disgusting.

The Potter Committee.


WASHINGTON, July 1.-Mrs. jerks then
resumed the witness chair. She had bro
ther named Aaolph Il. Murdoch, who was
formerly United States mail agent Dir.
Potter then cndeavored to show that the
brother OF the witness had recently been ap-
pointed in the New Orleans custom-bouse.
The witness eVaded the question by reply
ing that she had not been officially advised
of his having been appointed, adding he
should have had it long time ago. and adj
hitting that she had sought his appoint
ment but had been unsuccessful. She had
not heard irom'her brother or mother since
arriving in Washington.
No important testimony was elected, and
the witness was excused.
The committee will tomorrow or We'd
nesday adjourn until Monday next.
Mrs. jerks to-day submitted certain cor
respondence, including a letter from James
Anderson to herself, dated Philadelphia,
March 25th, in which Anderson says that
he has heard that Sherman had fooled her
(Mrs. Jenks) very badly; that she gave him
that letter on promises OF pay, and that
after getting it he told her to whistle for the
"dingbafs::' In the same letter Anderson
informs Mrs. jerks that she ought to hear
Mr., tell how she tried to buldoZe
him out of pass. Mrs. jerks addressed
Anderson letter in one from herself to
Senator Matthews, and asked for an eXpla-
nation OF the claims in regard to her re-
euestins a pass, saying she thought what
she said to him in regard to her private
affairs would be inviolate. Another letter
is from Mrs. jerks to Anderson. dated
New Orleans March Sth, advising him to
keep cool and have no fears for her, and
also telling Anderson that he really had not
good sense-he talked too much. In the
same letter Mrs. jerks says, in regard to
