The ocean City Accident.

The drowning Of Hon. B. 8. Ford, Of
Centreville, Maryland, at Ocean City
yesterday, causes the most sincere sor-
row wherever he was known. He was
in this city in 1876 experimenting the
building Of the steamboat B. s. Ford, "
at the Harlan & Hollingsworth ship
yards, his social manners and gentle
manly department making him many
friends. Ocean City has until yestsr-
day been free from sad drowning acci-
dents, which circumstance has led to
the impression that it is an unusually
safe bathiag place. but the result OF
yesterday shows that there are dangers
everywhere on water and land. On
visit to Ocean City we remarked that
there were no safeguards to protect
bathers from drowning like there were
at Ocean Grove, and other bathing
places. There were no ropes extending
out from the shore as in many other
places where the surf was high, and
which served az protection at least to
timid bathers. This is precaution
which should be provided at every
bathing point, for life is too precious to|
bs jeopardized. A good rule at bathing
places, would BE- not to allow less than
half dozen bathers to 60 in at once, SO
that one can bs a protection to the
other. No doubt that had there been
more than Mr.. Ford and Miss Emory
in bathing yesterday, the life of Mr..
Ford might have been saved. The
high character of Mr.. Ford is shown in
his death struggles. Though he might
have saved his life by cliDging to the
small board thrown out to him, he
considered his own life Of little value
with the lite of his lady COM
panion. and through bis sslf-sacriice
even to yielding up his life, the life Of
Miss Emory was spared. 1t is Hoped
hat this sad accident will lead to great
er precautions, for the safety of human
life at Ocean City.

The PHILADELPHIA Record" says
the next movement announced by the
kid glove Democracy is the formation
of az american Democr tic Assosia-
ton" The motto for its crest will be
sent-ntious: mo Irish and Catholics
need apply" Under this banner in 1854
marched a victorious party, before
whom Mr.. .Vaux went down in the dust.
He will look well walking under the
same banner in 1880. A Know nothing
Democratic organization will ba po-
litical monster the like Of which has
not heretofore been conceived. Thank
Heaven the day for religious proscrip-
ton has passed away in the city Of
Philadelphia"

By REFERENCE to an article elsewhere
it will be seen that Delaware has a
rival ia peach growing which bodies
no good to De aware peach growers.
New York as it looks now will be- prin
cipally supplied with peaches from her
suburban coun les on the Hudson river,
where millions oftrees have been set
outand are said 10 be loaded with fruit
This must materially interfere with the
peach monopoly Of the Peninsula, and
now our farmers and growers, weaned
from the fa,clnations of an uncertain
fruit crop, will have leisure to turn
their attention to the cultivation of tn.
sugar beet.

SAMUEL J. TILDBS is progressing hne-

Mr.. Ewing is to give the State to Til

The little Prince Victor Emanuel, son
of King Humbert, has just learned at ten
years old the charms-and inc0nveni-
ences-of despotism. He was playing
the other day with the little daughter
of the Marchesa Lontenero, one OF his
mothers Court danes During their
play quarrel arose, and the little prince
cried out in passion: "As soon as |
am king | will have your head chopped
Off" Unfortunately for the small piece
Of royalty, when King Humbert heard
of this threat he condemned the young
hothead to eight days arrest in his
chamber, to the withdrawal Of his hon.
ors at table and to forfeiture Of military
salutes for defined period.

A Notorious Darkey's Trick.

Eelse Parker, the notorious colored
fellow who pretended 10 know all about
Charley Rsss and sentthe officers scat,
terng on false clues, has come to the
front again. Parker was sent to the
Eastern Penitentiary some time ago for
shooting the woman who was recogni-
zed as his wife. This Darkey is a Gu
riOsity. As a liar he is not equalled,
except, of course, by the notorious
Annanias Anderson.
Since Parker has been locked up he
has been afforded but few opportunities
to ply his chosen vocation. He sue.
ceeded, however, by some means, in
creating sensation among the police
in Jersey City. A few days since the
authorities of that place were in receipt
of a letter informing them that Mrs.
Smith and Cove Bennett were innocent
of the killing Of Policeman Smith, and
that he knew who the murderer was.
An officer was dispatched post haste to
this city. At the Penitentiary he in
quired if such person as Nelson Park
or resided there.
He was answered in the affirmative
and given cue respecting Parker's
inclination to roam into the realms of
fancy rather than stick to the truth.
The officer desired but to talk with
Parker, and this request was granted.
The convict poured out terrible tale,
which, be said, man from Camden
told him about, but would not reveal
who the person was. The officer was
soon satisfied that Parker wanted to
have his tongue loosened by money
and pardon. As he went so far wide
of the facts in possession of the officers,
Parker's scheme was easily s-en
through, and the Jersey City man re-
turned home, not much wiser, but
sadder man.

The impression having been produced
and iostered by some OF our competitors
that we give special attention ONLY to the
management and sale OF councry property,
and that our charges for selling are higher
than those Of other agents, we take TINS oc-
caslon to correct such representations.
During the approaching faIl season, in
anticipation OF more active demand for
real estate, we shall devote more particular
attention than ever before to selling and
renting city property, and especially to
selling property ty auction. Our charges
for auctioneering are IS reasonable rs any,
and our charges for selling country pro-

now recommended for adoption by the

opened 4 register at his office in which
hotel and clearinghouse keepers are to

the benefit OF persons who will attend the
Fair, and will be closed on the 1st OF
September, and then published and Cis-
tributcd by mail and otherwise through
out this and adjoining States. Many
persons who would visit the city at the
time OF the annual fairs are kept away by
