WILMINGTON ls ADoUr - clear Of de.
linqusnciss and crooksdness on the
part Of its bank officers q any other
city Of its size, but it is struck OCCASION
ally. The latest is blow given te the
National Bank Of Wilmington and
Brandywine, at Second and Market
streets. The extent OF the defalcation
OF Evan Rice, the cashier Of the Bank,
is not yet known, but it is thought It
will not reach 100000, his securities
being responsible for half Of that. The
bank has always been one Of the hest
in the city, and this little defalcation
on the part Of the cashier, will in no
way impair the solvsncy or efficiency
Of the bank, which at the last annual
statement had surplus fund Of esq.,
900. Mr.. Rice had been in the bank
about twenty years, and his business
integrity and strict honesty had never
been questioned.

No MORE CITY DRB1.-There seems to
be no doubt whatever, that large ma
jority of the taxpayers and property
holders OF this city, are opposed to any
increase of the city debt at the present
time. This feeling was plainly evil
denced at meeting OF the citizens last
night in the Telegraph Building, at
Third and Market streets, and we think
it would be unwise to force the pro-
posed water works improvement in the
face Of 30 much opposition. Col. Mo
Combs in his remarks last night gave
the Brandywine watera high character
for purity and healthfulness, and stated
that his family used it without strain
ing or boiling. This experience is very
much in opposition to that of others,
and many Of our most experienced
medical practitioners. But it is of no
use for US to 60 into discussion of this
subject at the present time, it is an in
crease of the city debt to which the ut
most opposition is manifested, and it is
true that city Of 10000 inhabitants,
with a funded debt of over million
dollars, and a floating debt Of $l70, 900
should pause long and consider well
before doing anything to increase that
debt. The figures denoting the floating
debt are those used last night at the
meeting, but we think there must be a
little exaggeration about them. The
fate of the city of Memphis is before US,
and more recently that of Elizabeth,
New Jersey, and We hope the day is
far distant when Wilmington will he
numbered among the cities that cannot
meet their honest obligations.

Railroad Work,

From the Pittsburg Post We learn
that the road bed Of the new Pittsburg
and Lake Erie railroad, which is now
about completed, was inspected the
other day by the chief engineer and
other officials, including Francis II.
Sayler, chief engineer for the contrac-
tor, Mr.. B. J. McGrann. The inspec-
ton proved entirely satisfactory. At
places the train travelled at the rate of
forty miles all hour, remarkably fast
time on new road, and Engineer VIM
mer says there are sections OF the line
on which lie could not be afraid TO
travel at the rate OF sixty miles an
hour.
The object Of the trip was to give t!.e
engineer an opportunity to inspect the
line, and he will make his report to
the directors at a meeting to be held
shortly. He says the road is in fine
condition, is completed except at three
or four points, and he will recommend
that the work be received from the
hands of the contractor, provided the
latter makes proper allowances for the
cost of putting on finishing touches at
the few points mentioned, which
work cannot well be done in cold
weather. The new road will proba bly,
he opened to the public next week.

As ar evidence Of returning prosperi-
ty it is stated that nine Of the twelve
blast furnaces in Pittsburg and i'm
nediats vicinity are now in blast, pro-
ducing about 5000 gross tons Of pig
iron each week, an average Of $50 tons
each. This amount is about one-eighth
a. much iron ~ the whole country
averaged each week last year.
The Scranton Republican, in quite
recent issue, reports information OF Q
most cheering character in regard to
the highly favorable opening OF the
Spring trade in the large commercial
centres. 1t says: From gentleman
engaged as q manufacturer in this city,
who has Just returned from trip to
Boston and New York, We learn that
the spring trade which in former years
has not opened until the middle OF Feb.
ruary, has this year commenced full
month earlier, and that for two weeks
past the wholesale markets in the cities
named have been crowded with mer-
chants from the South and West, laying
in their spring and summer stocks.
The trade from the south is immense;
not for a score Of years has there been
such a demand for all classes OF staple
manufactured goods as a. present. In
some insta clothing houses are
actually turning away orders, being
unable to fill.them in time for the sea-
son. In staple dryl goods, notions,
white goods, in fact in every branch OF
man ufactured goods, the same extra
ord mary demand is apparent. Purchas-
ers are made on short cash terms thirty
or sixty days, and credit is carefully
extended, but the most cordial feeling
is shown by both seller and buyer. The
uneasy suspicion of the past five years
has given place to a feeling Of solid
confidence, based upon the complete
wedding out Of weak firms, and the
carrying out OF the. provisions OF the
Resumption act
Now all this is good news, for it
needs DO prophet come out of strange
land to tell us that a revival of the
manufacturing industries Of the coun-
try, means a revival OF prosperity here.
The future is opening out clear and
bright before us, and Wilmington will
not b- the last city to appreciate the
outlook.

TorpOr or inactivity Of the kidneys Is ser-
ously dangerous to those organs, since it is the
precedent OF diseases which destroy their sub
stance and endanger life. This slupgishness
may be overcome by stimulating them. not
excessively, but moderately, IAN effect produced
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a general in
vigQrant and Alternative possessing dIuretic
properties OF no common order. The impetus
which this admirable medicine gives to their
evacuatve junction cOunteracts any tendency
to congestion which may exist in their tissues.
Both they and their associate organ, the
bladder, are invigorated a. well as greatly
stimulated by the Bitters, which exert kin
dred influence upon the stomach liver and
bowels, and 10y strengthening the system, en-
ablcs 1t to withstand malarial epidemics, to
which when exposed IT might otherwise sue
