The Erery Ercning of last Thursday devoted three
columns to trade in Wilmington. The gist of the
view is as follows The most important interest that
of ship building is in healthful condition. Morocco
factories are running at half capacity. About 70 mo-
rocco dressers are unemployed. Carbuilding begins
to look up-about 200 men are employed. Carriage
trade is duler than usual. There is much brighter
outlook in the house-buding industry. Altogether
there are about 700 unemployed men in the city.

WALKING.-The most natural, the most
healthy, the most attractive, the most
frugal, the most ready of all exercises, is
walking. Nature has made the body's
locomotion on its legs a thorough move
ment Of all the bodily organs, stimulating
them ali with new life and driving off the
evil humors from each, a method open to all
to use, however small their pecuniary re-
sources. Only let it be walking and not
sauntering. Carry the head erect, expand
the chest and drink in the pure air, and
move briskly enough to secure your end.
Let the eye turn from one object to
another, and not be fixed on the ground in
contemplation (that sort of thing is for the
Sa,mterer); note the beauties or deformities OF
the landscape; take a companion with you
if you can, to whom you can refer your
opinions on what you see, and from whom
you can receive suggestive thoughts in re-
turn stop at times and sit upon rock OIL
fence both for rest and for enjoyment oi
some striking scene, and let not the
pleasure be turned to weariness by any
overstraining for the name and fame ot
fast walker. Such is. the normal, and
presume Adamic, method of bodily exer
else, against which we have arrayed the
conventionalities of moneyworshipinl

Temperance.
C....n.A oA.4
For the Smyrna Times.

SMYRNA, Sept Goth, 1878.
Mr.. EDITOR AS a friend to the cause of
Temperance, and being interested in the
success Of the same, would like to ask
few questions through the medium of your
columns. The few leading Temperance
men Of this community are good, sound,
well-meaning men, and as such, have done
much to further the cause, and we would
not say anything that would discourage
them, not one word to their rdisparagement; :;
on the contrary, we admire their persistence.
We commend their zeal in the good work
and yet to our mind, they ncper made so
grand mistake as in framing a remon-
STRANGE against but one or two places in
this community. Now allow me to ask
why was it that the remonstrance was
against tire grog shops alone and the hotels
allowed to 90 free and unmolested? Is it
not the same vile stuff, though drank from
the polished glasses taken from off the
marble covered bars found in our hotels
Is it less poisonous, less deadly in its influ.
ence? Cannot our young men form the
habit of drinking there, just as we'll as in
the common GROCERY, and do we not virtualy
say by signing remonstrance against GER
tain parties only, that these shall not sell
liquor while the others may? All, gentle
men, you may say that you would teal
down this monster wall of evil by beginning
at the top and thus take down stone by
stone, until there is not one left upor
another, but not so. How many, oh how
many will perish before it is thus tori
down? How many widows will it make
How many children will it starve? How
many homes will it desolate? No, tn,
great battering ram of truth and .justic,
must be brought to bear upon it fair ant
square, and the sale Of liquor must b
stopped in this way alone, and let us sa
by our actions, that there shall not witt
our consent, directly or indirectly, one dro
of intoxicating liquor be sold in the land
Humanity demands this; christianity dc
mands it, and when every christian ma,
and woman laying aside their prejudice
will join hand in hand in the good work
then will it be done. Now word more:
the men who govern the land in which W
live, will not join us in removeing this an
other evils, let us see to it as christian
that none but christian men, without regar
to politics shall rule over us.

Whats the particular fault with the UNI

Mr.. Perkins-It's unfair from beginning
to end. Every decision is against the visit
ing club. When we were there, one official
umpire came to me and wanted me to pick
him. He said the home club was down on
him because he was bound to be fair in his
decisions. Well | took him, and he gave
everything to the Buffalos-swindled us
completely.
How many available umpires are there

Mr.. Perkins-Two The other one came
to me and said that last year he was um.
piring for $15 week, and he knew he
didn't do justice by us; but he explained
that he had to give unfair decisions in or.
der to keep his position. He added that
this season, however, he was umpiring on
the square, and he would deal fairly with
U.S. But he was worse than the other. He
beat us outright.-[ Utica Observer
