The PEACH PROSPECT.
A DoLEFvL PROSPECT, FoR NEXT
SUMMERS CROP.

A DoLEFUL PROSPECT, FOE NEXT
SUMMERS CROP.
The Centerville, Md, Observer, says:
The prevailing sentiment among ur
peach growers is that the crop has been
destroyed and we find that the same
opinion prevails among the growers all
over the peninsula. Mr.. Rust, Speaker
OF the Delaware Senate, closely identi-
fed with the fruit interest both as
grower and commission dealer, gives IL
as his opinion that not only will there be
no peaches in Sussex county, but thai
the blackberry and raspberry crops will
also be failures. Last year the peach
trees were in bloom on the goth of
March, but up to the present time there
are no signs Of budding. A farmer who
for sixteen years has cultivated a sue
cessful orchard near Bridgeville, Sussex
county, Del, says he cannot find a live
bud among ten thousand trees, and he
thinks they are all killed. A litter from
the head OF a canning firm at Berlin,
Worcester county, Nd, says that it is
exceedingly douO full If there will be a
peach produced by budded tree in that
county this season, and expresses the
opinion that canned peaches are a good
stock to carry over into the next season.
In Caroline county, Md, along the
line of the Delaware and Dorchester
Ralroad, where for the past ten years
some Of the most desirable peaches
shipped to New York have been pro-
duced, farmers are selling their orchards
at merely banLerlng figures. One gen.
tleman, who has an orchard of 10000
Trees situated on the banks of the Nanti-
coke river, recently sold the product of
his orchard for this year for $50. The
temperature fell to much lower point
there last winter than In New York city,
and one night it dropped, according to
more than one thermometer in the place,
to 81 degrees below zero, but by many
it fell below 10, where 1t remained
several hours. And 1t has long been q
theory among the peach growers of Del
aware that, when The thermometer tails
below zero and remained there for ten
or twelve hours, IL will kill the peach
buds, and If it falls to 10 below it will
so disease the trees as TO make then use
less.
A LITTLE CLEAN OF HOPE.
A successful peach grower living near
Middletown, Del, believes that the crop
will be generally good, though consider
able damage has been done in certain
sections He says that the fact tha all
the buds have black spots in them does
not prove ny any means that they are
dead, or even materially injured. In |
1875, he adds, when the largest crop on |
record was marketed, the buds had much |
the same appearance which they present |
to-day.

THERE ARE ALWAYS too many practical
jokers in every community. AT least one of
those public nuisances has, however, been,
it is hoped, cured of his folly. In an ocean
steamer bound for Australia, would-be-
witty passenger "just to see the fun"
raised the cry of Man overheard" The
vessel was stopped, and the lifeboat manned,
but by accident five sailors fell into the
water and two were drowned. Nobody but
the perpetrator of the joke can see just where
the fun came in.

WE CANNOT HELP VIEWING Secretary
Hunts criticism upon the Commanding
Officer of the Tallapoosa, yesterday, rs un
necessary and unwise. The regulation re-
ferrcd to, prohibits the presence of the wives
and other female relatives of officers on
board ships " in commission for sea service"
But the Tallapoosa is not a ship in commits
sion for sea service within the meaning of
that regulation. She is not even man of
war in any sense of the word. On the con-
trary, she is a simple freight and passenger
steamer, employed in what may be called
the coasting trade of the navy, that is to
say, engaged in carrying stores from the
chief manufacturing Navy-yard in Wash
ington to the other yards along the Allan
tic coast
For the rest she is employed now and
again to carry the Secretary of the Navy,
together with the females of his family and
their friends, on pleasure trips and excur-
sions. The secretary's criticism upon the
presence Of the officers wife and daughter
on board will therefore have no effect
except to call public attention to the fact
that the Commander had the example of his
civil superior to guide him, and was only
conforming to the precedent long estab-
lished by the head of the Department.
The same remark might be applied with
even greater force to the case of the Dis
patch, which is openly and without the
slightest pretext of naval requirement, en-
ployed by the Secretary and his friends as
q yacht at the public expense.
If there is anything the American people
insist on, IT is fair play; and the Secretary
makes grievous mistake if he suppose'
that tho press or the public will sustain him
in criticising an officer for merely following
the Secretary's own example. AS we re-
marked the effect Of yesterdays, little cpl

WE ARE under obligations to science in a
trying hour. 1t is now stated that an in
genious physician gives it as his opinion
that the bite of the mosquito is the best
cure for malaria This is little startling
to the beginner, but the theory is based on
the fact, asserted at least by him, that the
two always go together, and that where
malaria is very prevalent mosquitoes
abound in great quantities, and that the
poison of their sting is natures antidote to
the poison ,of malaria. He does not say
whether decoction Of smashed insects
might not answer equally well and be less
irritating" Take down your bars, gentle
men, and give the mosquito chance at
his mission.

the commanders alleged infraction of tho

of employing the public ships for the uses
Of private pleasure And the result will be
if too close attention Is drawn TO the
matter-that some day when the navy csti
