Delaware Peaches.

Delaware, the land of peaches the
land where during two months of the
year the air holds the fragrant aroma of
this king of the fruits Peaches, peach
es everywhere--in baskets, in crates, in
boxes, in wagons. At every station of
the railroad that traverses the spine of
the Delaware watershed one sees those
peculiar vehicles generally known as
peach wagons, square, cumbersome, and
roomy, unloading their luscious con-
tents. At the more considerable sta
tons all is noise, hubbub, and confusion.
One by one the peach wagons come
rumbling up to the waiting cars, each
one striving to get i'll first, so as to un-
load and go home again. AT the cars is a
very Babel of voices calling for mani
tests, numbers, and what not, COM
mingled with the squealing of mules,
and shouting and swearing of transfers,
and the cracking of whips. Along the
roads in all directions rumble the peach
wagons, each in little cloud of dust,
like a miniature thunder storm, each
vending its way and converging to a
center represented by the nearest railway

passes long trains of freight cars, hang
ing around and trailing after which is
luscious odor of most luscious fruit.
In New York the Delaware peach is
rarely seen at its best; the fruit is
picked while yet hard, and so shipped,
ripening in the cellars of the commits
sion merchants or the stalls of the vend-
ORG Init when thew are allowed IN ripen
to full maturity in the broad and native
sunlight of their Southern home, when
they swell with the last few hours of
ripening, the blush side turning deli
cate velvety crimson just notified with
a few darker spots, when they soften, not
to faccidity, on the trees, turning the
last drops of sap to nectareous juice,
then the Delaware peach is a thing
hardly to be sufficiently admired, charm
ing alike with its beauty, its odor, and
its taste.-Howord Pyle, IN Harper's
Magazine.

Death of the Prince Imperial.

Advices from Cape Town via Ma.
deira, officially announce the death of
the Prince Imperial of France. The
Prince was out scouting with an officer
and six men, and, after searching a
mealie" garden for the enemy, the
Prince gave orders to mount. The
enemy. who had remained concealed,
then fired upon the party and killed
two troopers and wounded the Prince,
who fell from his horse. The others
were compelled to abandon the Prince.
On receipt of the news at headquarters,
Lord Chelmsford sent regiment of
lancers to recover the body, which was
found covered with assegai wounds.
There is general mourning at the Cape,
and great regret is expressed over the
death of the young Prince.
Eugene Louis Jean Joseph Napoleon,
son of the Emperor Napoleon III. and
the Empress Eugenio, was born March
Is, 1856. For some time great fears
were entertained, on account of the
delicacy of his health, which improved
considerably in the summer of 1867.
In 1870 he accompanied his father to

Aug. 2, at the capture of Saarbruck,
when the Emperor telegraphed to the
Empress at Paris this memorable dis
patch: Louis has just received his
baptism of fire. He showed admirable
GOODNESS, and was not at all affected. A
division of Gen. Frosserd has captured
the heights which overlook the left
bank at Saarbruck. The Prussians
made but short resistance. We were
in the front rank. Louis has kept a
bullet which fell close to him. Some
of the soldiers wept at seeing him so
calm. We have lost only one officer
and ten men killed." After the dis
astrous defeat at Sedan, the young
Prince made his escape to Belgium,
and, crossing from Ostend to Dover on
Sept. 6. proceeded to Hastings, where
he was joined by the Empress three
days later. He has since resided in
England, and received his education at
an English military school. A short
time ago he went to South Africa as a
volunteer.

Lucky Baldwin's Ranch.

f. j. Baldwin. everywhere known as
Lucky Baldwin, worked on his fathers
farm, when young, III Indiana. After
twenty-five years of trial ut various pur-
suits, he drifted into the bonanza dis
trict, Nevada, and in few years, by
well-iudged ventures in mining stocks,
realized some millions. He became pub
icly known by building the Baldwin
now so favorably known as a popular
house on Market street, San Francisco,
275 by 90 feet. Included in the struct-
ure is Baldwin's Theater. The whole,
including furniture, cost $3,0O0,00O.
Travelling through Los Angeles county
he fancied and bought Spanish grant
of $4,000 acres of beautifully watered
garden-land, and laid it out in princely
style. OF this, $4,000 acres are moist
bottom land, needing no irrigation.
Outside of this he has artificially irri-
gated most of the property by means of
six miles of eight-inch pipe, and beauti-
full lakes are formed here and there, with
rustic bridges and other adornments.
Some fifty rustic cottages are the homes
of his army of working people. All
bOTtS VI LII III DultOluSo are IatSlcluly AZ
ranged, and flowing artesian springs
abound, of purest water. The orchard
has 200 acres, with $4,000 orange and
lemon trees, 1000 almonds, 500 Italian
chestnuts, so acres of English walnuts,
500 acres of choice grapes, innumerabae
apples, pears, plums, peaches and figs.
He has 10000 eucalyptus trees of
twenty-seven different varieties, and
5000 of the graceful pepper trees, our
most ornate evergreen and dropping va
riety, bearing a profusion of pepper
looking spice-berries. A broad avenue
is laid out, three miles long by 100 feet
wide, lined on each side with eucalyptus
trees. In the center is row of pepper
trees, making grateful shade in that
sunny climate, and the air is cooled by
innumerable fountains. Soon man
sion in keeping with the surroundings
will be erected on the rising knoll over
looking this fairy-land, and some hun
dred tenantry, with gardens and Guilt
waited fields, will enrich the landscape
and make this charmed spot paradise,
where the proprietor can pass his de-
Ginning years In peaceful contemplation
of the romance of his creation.-Sdn

There has been much Advancement in whist
HiAysng within the past few years as In the higher

1reat your own hand as 10 your partners joined
And pay not one alone, but bofh combined.

And hence there is necessity the strongest

with Ring and queen, King also has first place;
with ace, queen, kaaUe, lead ace, aud then the

with ace Iour small ones ace should first be seen;
With qaeeN kndpe, ten, You let the queen precede;
IN other cases, you the lO'oest lead.
Ero you return your friends, your o,on suit play;

When you return your partners lead, take pains
70 Head him back the best your hand contains,

But II you hold the master card. you're bound,

Unless you mean trump signal" to be made;
Or II you've King and queen. or ace and king,
1iHn one of these will be the proper thing.
Mind well the rule for trumps; you'll often neet
them;
vxEs you HOLD FIVE, TITS ALWAYS RIGHT TO LEAF
THEM;
Or IL the lead won't come in time to you,
1hsn signal to your partner so to do.
Watch also for your partners trump request;
To which, ,oh less than JoUr, play out your best.
no lead through honors turned up is bad play,
Unicss you want the trump suit cleared away.
When second hand doubtful trick you see,
DsnT trump IL, if you hold more hUn,ps than three
But having three, or less, trump fearlessly.
Whcn weak in trumps yourself, don't force your
friend.
Nat always force the adverse strong trump hand.
Hor sequences, stern custom has decreed
2Ae sorcest you must play if you don't lead.
When you discard, toedk suits you ought TO choose
For strong ones are too valuable to lose.
