Atlantic CITY.

For fishing and sailing one cannot
enjoy themselves better for day than
to buy ticket for S1.25 and 60 on the
West Presbyterian church excursion to
Atlantic City on the 7th inst, as the
inlets and creeks of that place are no
tod for being the best among our many
watering places, and to all who arr
fond Of this sport we would say go, as
TIL, excursion will be first class in every
par icular. No exceptionable persons al
low.d. 1t is scarcely needful that any
thing should be said about the bathing,
al, enc who has enjoyed that pleasure
once is always anxious to repeat it; it is
hralihful, invigorat ,ng and makes one
feel lOath to leave the beach. The par
ties having this excursion in charge for
the s'West Presbyterian church are spar
ing no pains to make this their best
effort. Those who have made an -x-
cursion all the way by rail will under
stand readily the advantage of psrt by
steamer and part by raj. While At the
same time afo-ding relief from the
monotony it makes the trip more ex-
piditious having but one change to
make, that being from the boat to cars,
taking only few minutes to make the
entire change. II the tide and weather
are favorable the trip will be made in
about a hours, landing the party on
the beach by 1890 or IL a. w., being
just the time when the bathing is at its
height. The party is limited to 500 and
thereforewe would suggest that any
one anxious to enjoy day at the sea
shore had better engage their tickets as

A significant fact is conveyed in the
statement that only two or three. ap-
pointments of lieutenants will be made
to the army from the South. because the
applicants are unable to show a salts
factory record of their fidelity to the
Union. This is one Of the things which
now exasperates the people of the South
and which the Democratic leaders are
SO anxious to get rid of in the laws.
The great object is to fill the army with
men who are inimical to national exis.
tence. This is the Democratic purpose.
But while the law remains as it is this
cannot he done-and the law can only
be maintained by Republican admins

Ben Buffers Chances.

Senator Dawes and Hoar agree with
everybody else in Massach usetts in
believing that Butler has po chance
tor success this year. They think he
will succeed in capturing the Demo-
cratic nomination, but that many mem.
bers of that party will refuse to vote
for him. One of the best guns he had
last year has been spiked by Governor
Talbot, who has carried ont most OF
the reforms on which the General laid
special stress. He will have to run
largely on his personal popularity, and
even he must admit that there isn't
SO much of that as there might be.

any exodus of the negroes from his dis

in North Carolina, he believes that
Sherman is now the choice instead of
Grant. In reply to this, the Grant peo-

this conclusion only since the recent
