The Chicago Commercial Adver-
tiser says that gratifying reports
come from NIL sections of the country
of activity in every branch Of trade.
The increased business has enhanced
the railroad earnings, particularly in
the West, and in consequence, stocks
have greatly advanced in the last few
months, and new and important en-
terprises are being rapidly pushed
forward. The indications are that,
should the crop returns prove as
abundant rs they now promise, the
coming Fall can scarcely fail of being
a season of great commercial activity
and prosperity.

AIusEG's Climate.

correspondence of the San Francisco Bull
letfn. -,
Alaska is pleasant country to live
in, Notwithstanding all the polar and
iceberg stories. The climate Of the is.
lands, and all that part of the mainland
that is bathed by the warm ocean cur
rents from Japan, is remarkably bland
and temperate, and free from extremes
of heat or cold throughout the year.
There is a great deal of rainy weather,
but it is of good quality, mild in tenn
perature, gentle in its fall, filling the
fountains of the deep, cool rivers, feeding
the moses and trees, and keeping the
whole land fresh and fruitful. Out OF
147 days, beginning May II of this year,
rain fell on IS days and 43 were cloudy;
but on some OF these days the rain last
ed ouly a few minutes, and hardly any
could be called stormy and dismal. The
wettest ofthis weather seems to be per-
fectly healthy, and there is no mildew
IN the houses. Thunder is rarely heard
"a flash and clap, faint and far away,
once in two or three years. The cause
of so much rain is found in the vapor-
laden winds of Japan.

Three Little Youngsters.

John Stone complained at the police
station, Yesterday morning, that crowd
of awtully malicious boys,aged about IA
years, had formed themselves into a
band of marauders, and were creating
constant riot in his neighborhood, (Third
and Harrison streets), and had cons,m
mated the very pinnacle of fiendishness
by hammering his door in while he was
absent. Thus enlightened, a GAZETTE
reporter pitched into the desperate gang
and exposed their diabollcal doings. A
phase, slightly different, came over the
scene when, last evening, the culprits
were arraigned before the Mayor. Near
ly every one laughed when they saw the
lads, for they were all "knee high to a
grasshopper," and aged respectively six,
eight and nine years, and certainly did
not look capable of perpetrating any vii
lany worse than numbering policeman
in the street or blowing up railroad
train with dynamite. The Mayor said
he could not entertain charges against
such little fellows, and dismissed them
at the same time saying the parents were
responsible for their actions.

Historical Society.

TWO PRELIMINARY REPORTS, AND
THE STANDING COMMITTEES AP-
POINTED AT THE ADJOURNED AN
NUAL MEETING LAST NIGHT.
At the adjourned annual meeting of
the Historical Society of Delaware, last
night, DR.. Bush, one of the Committee
OH Seals, stated that the facts for the
report had all been obtained, and that
the matter could be definitely settled as
soon as the committee could get to-
gether.. He made sort Of preliminary
report in reference to the old seals of
the State, of which there had been sew
en-. The report traced the matter up
through the laws and the records of the
State. In 1852 there had been seal
used by the State and as early as 1870
a seal had been used on State docu-
ments by john Penn, Esq. In 1851 a
S. al two inches In diameter bearing the
words, "Counties on Delaware" ami the
one then in use was ordered to b brok-
en-. The committee could trace the
date of the making of the seals as fol-
lows: 1851, 1855, 1903, 1S47. The last
one given was still in use.
Joseph r. Walter, historiogragher,
read paper, which for the sake of ar
gument the society called preliminary
report. In this he stated that he had
neve.. known the nature of the office
until recc ntly, and that since his las
election to the position he had looked
I'D the matter and found that it was for
the preservation of facts with regard to
the lives of the members, such as date
of birth, occupation, residence, etc.
The first historiographer had been VIM.
T. Reed, of New Castle, who held office
from Aug. 13. 1864 to 1878; DR.. R. r.
Porter succeeded him and Hon. Leonard
G. Wales held office the fom 1874 to
1878; since then Jos. r. Walter had
held the office.
Mr.. Walter was appointed to make
biographical sketch Of the late VIM.
