During the month OF August there
were shipped from New York $685.
272 bushels of grain. in 100 vessels of
twelve different nations. Not one of
the ships floated the United States
flag. II our Government can demol-
ish the navies of other powers by
firing few statutes at them as COM
pletely as she has thus destroyed her
own shipping interest, there is no use
of her maintaining the Insignificant

A good man was once tempted by
the Devil TO commit one OF the three
great sins-elther to murder his moth

to get drunk. As the least of the
three he chose to get drunk. Satan
left him well pleased at his choice, for
alas while drunk he committed both
the other sins - Exchange.

SELFsALTING BEEF.-A new pro
cess of preserving meat has been in
troduced in England, in which, in
stead Of sleeping the carcass in an an
tiseptic, the preservative chemical,
bOracic acid, is introduced into the live
animal, and by the action OF the heart
is sent through the blood vessels and
capillaries into every part OF the body.
The animal is first stunned, where
upon theleft jugular vein is laid bare and
the fluid injected, after which il takes
about two minutes for it to go through
the whole vascular system. Meat
treated in this way can be preserved
at .ordinary summer temperature for
Eve or six weeks.

The result Of the star route trial Is
a scandalous failure Of justice we'll
calculated to arouse popular indigna
ton everywhere. That the public
treasury has been robbed in the most
shameful manner, that il was robbed
for years and Of untold sums Of mon
ey by a ring Of plunderers, is noto
rious fact. II the men who have just
been tried for these frauds are not
guilty nobody is guilty. If they are
not to be punished nobody can be
punished. .UN
But the evidence against them is
overwhelming. For two months the
prosecution piled proofs upon proofs
of their guilt. Against this mass of
evidence the jobbers made virtually no
reply from the witness stand. For
the sake Of appearances their lawyers
went through the form Of calling a
few witnesses TO testify to irrelevant
matters, but this pretense' could not
be kept up long, and soon there was
an utter collapse Of the defense in the
matter Of evidence. Their failure on
legal points was not less complete.
They were utterly routed by the expo.
sition Of the law made by the Court,
whose charge seemed to leave the jury
no honest escape from verdict Of
conviction.
The failure Of the jury 10 convict
Brady and Stephen w. Dorsey is a
|. most shameful defeat Of justice. Its
disagreement on these men while find
ing Miner and Rerdell guilty is so re-
markable and inconsistent as to seem
incapable Of explanation on any hon
est theory. OF all the conspirators
arraigned Brady and Dorsey were the
greatest offenders, the most deserving
Of punishment, aud those whose ac'
quittal would have the most mischiev-
Gus effects. Brady was the head of
the conspiracy and Dorsey its life.
Brady was the chief in the Postofhce
Department aud Dorsey the central
figure outside. As Second Assistant
Postmaster General Brady had full
control Of tho star route service, Dor.
sey was Senator Of the United States
and a member Of the Senate Postal
Committee. He has been conspicu.
Gus in the republican councils, a men,
ber of the National Republican Com
mittee, intimate with republican lead
ers and made himself free enough
with the republican President elect to
write him impudent, hypocritical let
ters on political honesty aud morality.
Without the co operation of Brady
the government could not have been
plundered by the star route thieves;
the conspiracy could not have exist
ed. Without the official aid and po-
litical influence of Dorsey the combi'
nation could not have succeeded so
long nor Aourished so extensively.
The government now has plain
and imperative duty to perform, and
that is to bring these men to trial
again without delay. This is demaud.
ed by Justice and the public welfare.
Neither the administration, which
has already shown so much earnest,
ness in this matter, nor the republican
party can afford to let the matter drop
here. The present trial has been long
and costly. The next may be made
shorter and less expensive. But,
whatever the time, labor or expense
necessary, another trial must be had
and the plunderers brought to Justice.
Such scandalous frands as those that
have been committed by the star route
thieves are a menace to republican
government itself.--N. Y. Herald.

REHoBoTH, July S.-The season Ia fairly
open. The outlook now is snch as to give
the most favorable assurances of success.
Everything as they now look make one
think that Rehoboth WIN be more than
usually pleasant place this year. Its ad-
vantages were never better. The lakes are
in an excellent condition, the water being
clear as crystal, and the smooth surface of
the lakes are now and then broken by the
sprightly members of the 6nny tribe. The
beach is unsuFpassable, being better than
ever. The sand is as compact as marble,
and to walk upon It's bed, Is source of
pleasure and not of toll to the beach pedes-
trian. .4,+ E4sua,i@ II
Notwithstanding the exceedingly cool
temperature of tile atmosphere, a large num-
ber of the cottages are occupied, and the
hotels are bee-hives, as IL were. Every body
on the beach appear to he as jovial, pleas
ant, and entertaining as though they be-
longed 10 one family; the pleasure of one is
the pleasure Of all. Unfortunately Reho-
both has but two lotels, but this season they
are both under the management of the popu-
lar landlord, Walter Burton, and they will,
beyond doubt, be conducted In such a
style, as to be most pleasing and entertain
ing to the guests. Mr.. Burton has been work
ing hard TO make this successful season at
the beach, and his work has not been In
vain. ft.',.,.l
Several new cottages have been erected, q
mention of which will be made hereafter.
Mr.. james Bradford's new cottage Is very
handsome. -s---- ---~-.-
Mr.. Edward Wiley, the veteran boarding
house keeper, has arrived and opened his
boarding house for the reception of guests.
Since Rehoboth began to be, persons de-
string to g0to Rehoboth City had either to
procure conveyances or take tedious and
tiresome walk through the sand, but this
year, through the enterprise of Mr. Burton,
the residents, guests and visitors have the
use Of an excellent board walk, which ex-
tends from the Bright House to the Douglass
House.
Telegraphic communications have been
made between the Bright and Douglass
Houses,
Excellent music Is at both hotels and the
guests. are enjoying themselves highly
Dancing Is a nightly occurrence and even
the Methodists are not as much shocked as Of
yorc.
As yet but few excursions have come to
Rehoboth, but they will begin next week
and after that time they will be quite com
mon. On Tuesday the NJ. e. Sunday school
ofLewes will spend the day here, and ON
Wednesday the Milford Sunday school will
do likewise. Several excursions are ex-
pected from Philadelphia this season, aud
the school marms win eniven matters in
August.

rTo..lny,s Herald Rnlletin. !

The disturbance that was over the Platte
Valley as stated in yesterdays Herald, is
now advancing toward the lake regions IN
northeasterly direction. It's influence ex-
tends over all the territory east Of the Rocky
Mountains, except along the Atlantic coast
line south of Cape Cod. Local showers are
reported from nearly all the districts east of
the Rocky Mountains, attended In many
places by electrical phenomena. The tenn
pera lure rose in all the districts except the
extreme northwest, where a slight fall is re-
ported. The winds have been generally
light except during the passage of local dis
turbances. Conditions favorable to the de-
yelopment of local disturbances, such as
tornadoes, prevail in the Missouri and Platte
valleys, The weather in New York and its
vicinity to-day will be warm and fair, with
possibly thundershower or two. Tc-mor-
row the same conditions are likely to pre-
vail.

Total estimate recommended, SS29, ,037 !;
amount appropriated by the House,
$685., 800.
twill be seen that Wilmington needed
$50, 900 but got $4,000 less, The principal
new item is the $4,000 allowed for the
commencement of work upon new ice har-
Dor in mid-channel, near Reedy Island,
where is already an old and comparatively
useless one The idea offs mid-channel lee
harbor originated with Colonel Ludlow and
has received nearly universal approval,
although representatives of the Board of
the Board of Trade and some other authori-
ties do not agree as to the practical charac-
ter of the construction. The proDosed
location is one of the principal objections.
The sum of $3.50, 900 was asked and as only
$25, 900 was given by the House, it is equiv
alent to postponing the enterprise unless the
Senate increases the amount. Nothing
whatever could be done with $25, 900, as the
principal work would consist of sinking
steel piles in mid channel at great depth in
place where operations would be conducted
with very great difficulty.
