the first duty of a citizen, 1, e, TO pay
something for government. They seem
TO think the whites are bound to do
everything to support good government
and their duty is only to enjoy its bene-
fits.
Mr.. Higgins and Mr.. Bird got a good
share of the party's benefits. They were
wise enough to seize upon the occasion,
went for the official patronage and got it.
But they did very little for the negro in re
turn. In fact they soon saw he was dead
weight; and the difficulty now ishcw is
the party is to get ridof him. The old
Commercial long ago showed that il would
have given the best tooth in its brazen
head if it could have got the GAZETTE to
advocate making Democrats of the ne
groes. But alas. there was no use in
coaxing: the DEMOCRACY were in no need
OF such association. The white boys
could not endure meeting without re-
gard to color with the thermometer at 900
and they preferred that our Republican
friends should have monopoly of such
luxuries.

Revival Amang the COlOred
People.

Atlantic negroes are wonderfully ex.
cited by religious reviv al. During an
entire week meetings are held every
hour, night or day, and then the floors
of the churches were strewn with per
sons unconscious from exhaustion.
Many extravassnces are INDUCED in,
such as the relation of visions of heaven.
All the ordinary features of Methodist
revivalism are magnified. One Of the
foremost women in the movement died.
Just before she breathed her last, she
cried: "Glory, de Lord send his lad
der fur me-" and began to point to a
ladder from heaven which all the negroes
about her bed solemny declared they
saw. After the women died all the
negroes in the house saw angels and
chariots right through the roof. The
story ofthese revelations went all over
the city and caused the widest excite
ment among the regroes, who focRed
to the house of visions. At one time
there were five hundred around the
house shouting and singing. 1t was
almost impossible in that part of the
city to get negro TO do anything. A
merchant asksd adrayman to haul load
and he replied, "No, bless de Lord, de
kingdom is TOO high. Hallelujah ~

agricultural a LabOrers in
Rhenish Pruussi.

Mr. Edgar Stouton, the United States
consul at Bremen, transmits to the De.
Partment OF State letter from the Presi.
deht OF the Agricultural Society of Rhen-
ish Prussia, from which the following ex.
tracts have been taken:-
During the years 1871 to 1874 the
wages of farm hands and iourneymer
had risen to such height that agricul-
tural pursuitsyielded but small profit
or more often resulted in severe losses tc
tenants and owners of mortgaged lands.
The rise was equal to fifty per cent, and
the fall during the last few years is about
twenty-five per cent. Grain and bread
prices had fallen slightly, but all other
necessaries remain, to great extent, al
their former rates. This is particularly
true with the dairy and the herd. Milk,
| butter, old cheese, meats and leather
have more than doubled in price in the
last twenty-five years. If, labor should
fall once more the laborers will be forced
to limit greatly the use of dairy products.
But the progress made in the manner OF
treating milk, butter and cheese, and the
importation of cheap dairy products and
preserved meats give hope that the labor

AMERICAN PRODUCTS AND MANUFAc-
TUREs IN GERMANY.
Mr.. Edward M. Smith, United States
Consul at Mannheim, Germany, commu-
nicates to the Department of State some
interesting facts and suggestions about
expectations to Germany. The firm of
Bender & Co., Mannheim, import large
quantities Of American meats-10,00O
hams in single order, large quantities
OF pressed /. beef and sausages. thirty
days from St. Louis, equal to German
sausage. The fear of trichina is the only
obstacle to large purchasers of American
pork. A single ham infected conde m MS
the whole cargo. Rigid and trustworthy
inspection is recommended before ship
ment. Fresh beef, twenty-one days from
st. Louis, finds a ready market in Baden.
American stoves begin be seen in Ger
many; glass from Pittsburg is liked for
its strength and clearness. American
cotton cloths are bought carefully by the
German housewife. Sole leather from
the United States is preferred to the Eng
lish article. Canned vegetables, fruits,
oysters, HOLSTERS, &C., are sold in large
quantities there. Sewing and knitting
machines are everywhere accepted, with
a change of name.

HOW TO PRESERVE ICE.

During illness ice. is generally
needed in the sick room. The following
method of preserving it is highly recon-
mended, and is certainly worth trying
Cut piece of flannel about niue inches
square, and secure it by a ligature round
the mouth of an ordinary tumbler, so as
to leave cup-shaped depression Of
flannel within the tumbler to about
half its depth. In the flannel cup SO
constructed pieces of ice may be preserv-
ed many hours, all the longer il piece
Of flannel from four to five inches square
be used as loose cover to the ice cup.
Cheap flannel, with comparatively open
meshes, is preferable, as the water easily
drains through it and the ice is thus kept
quite dry. When good flannel with
close texture is employed. a small hole
must he made in the bottom of the fan
mel cup, otherwise it holds the water,
and facilitates the meeting of the ice.
Placed In a cup of this kind, two ounces
OF ice has been known to last for nine or
ten hours.

BENZ. HUNTER BREAKS DOWN.
HB BEGINS TO REALIZE THE TERRIBLE
POSITION IN WHICH he
Is PLACED,

PHILADELPHIA, July 5.-A great
change has come over Benjamin Hunter
since his conviction. He is no longer
ae,e to conceal the dependency and
wretchedness that one In his position
must suffer. In the words OF quaint old
" Judge" Ware, one of his keepers, "Hun-
ter's all broke up" On Wednesday night,
after the verdict, when he was taken
back to his iron cage, Hunter was morose
and unhappy. He complained of little
things in his surrounding, and insisted
that his bed was very hard, although 1t
Is the same bed and the same apartment
in very respect which the prisoner pre-
tended to be delighted with in converting
with the writer shortly before the trial
began.
AT his own request no one will here
after be permitted to see him but his
family ard his counsel. He sits and
broods gloomy with his head between
his hands, .or PAGES the stone floor Of
his cage with his head bowed and his
hands behind his back. He Is very much
on the alert of everything that takes
place about him, and every little noise in
the passageway outside seems to attract
his attention and TO annoy him.

Death OF ID. III. Moore.

On Friday evening MIR. Bloomfield 81
Moore, Of the we'll known firm OF Jessup
& Moore, died of pheumonla at his resi-
oence in Philadelphi,, aged sixty years.
Mr.. Moore was identified with the lead
ing financial institutions in Philadelphia,
and was prominent member of the
Union League. He was also we'll known
in Newport, R. l., where his family occu-
pied the famous Barreda villa, on Belvue
avenue. His daughters Baroness de
Rosen, Of Sweden, and Mime. De Bit,
wife OF the first secretary Of the Swedish
Legation at Washington, are at pres mt
Ia that city. Mrs. Moore is known as an
authoress. She is sister to Alferd d,
Jessup, who purchased the Barreda villa
two years ago.

SECOND T EDITION
The Port Deposit Tragedy.
DEATH OF THE LAST VICTIM, THOMAS
ARNsTRoNG-A DOUBLE FUNE-
RAk-BURIAL or MAGILL

DEATH OF THE LAST VICTIM, THOMAS
ARSisTRoNG-A DOUBLE FUNE-
RAk-BURIAL Or MAGILL.
A feeling of feverish anxiety seems to
have taken the place Of the calm which
has hitherto usually pervaded Port De.
the last few days there. On Saturday
during the entire day, a crowd fingered
around the residence of Thomas Arm
strong, curious to know his exact condi.
ton, which was not improved by the
amputation of his thigh on Friday. This
inquiry was not renewed, however, yes
terday, for at seven O'Clock Sunday
morning, after night of great suffering,
Thos. Armstrong died. The death was a
shock TO the community, for. though
known to be in a dan gerous condition,
he was not supposed to be in immediate
danger of death.
This sad conclusion of last Thursdays
drama, aside from other results, shuts
out the last possibility of ever knowing
what passed between the Armstrong;
and Magill in the conversation which
preceded and it is supposed precipitated
the shooting. All three are dead, and
the exact degree of prpvocation, if any.
for the murder now will never be known.
The death of Thomas Armstrong, follow
ing so soon on that of his brother James,
for the latters funreal, which was to
have taken place yesterday, and it was
decided to bury them together.
The funerals will take place to-day.
Both families are overpowered by the
extent of their afflictidn, and great SYM
pathy is expressed for them on all
sides.
Terrible as this visitation Is, the full ex-
tent OF its effect is yet TO be realized. By
1t three wives are widowed, fourteen
children left fatherless, and an entire
firm well-nigh annihila lated, the victims
being the only active partners. The
Armstrong brothers employed at Port
Deposit about fifty men and large
number of boys, and though wages were
low they were sufficient to live on, and
this sudden cutting off of their means of
support, will be seriously felt in the COM
munity. Even should the surviving
brother. William, make arrangements to
continue the business, there must of ne
cesslty be some delay in recognizing
the concern.
The funeral of William Magill by
whore pistol all three died, took place at
2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. II was at
tended by the order Of Knights Of Py-
thias. TO which he belonged, and which
escorted the remains to their last resting
place. By the rules of his church he was
denied Christian burial, but the citi-
zens turned out In large number and q
sprig of evergreen was dropped in the
coffin as they took last adieu. In spite
of everything, those who knew Magin
speak highly of many traits of his char
acter, and great. sympathy is shown to-
wards his family

ADAM PRINCE DEAD.

Adam Prince, an old and highly re-
spected citizen of Brandywine Hundred,
died at his residence on Sunday night,
in the S2d year of his age. Mr.. Prince
was an active man, always a decided
Democrat, but never medling much in
poliucs. He was a man of high moral
principles and good to the poor of his
neighborhood. Careful and frugal he
arDassed fine fortune in the earlier
part of his life, and has been considered
one of the richest men in the Hundred
for many years. He was frequently urg-
ed to take office, butinvariably preferred
that others should receive public trusts /;
and excepting that OF Road Commiss on
TT we believe he never filled any other
public position. He has left large cir
Gle of friends who will long hold him in
