THE uproar that the Philadelphia
ministers are making about the ears of
Mayor King in regard to the non-en-
forcement of the Sunday laws in liquor,
cigar selling &C., is telling, for last
Sunday there was a marked improve
ment in this respect. A charge from
the ministerial battery all along the
line, cannot but have effect. Rev. A.
Rittenhouse, as will be seen in another
column, went directly at the root OF
the subject last Sunday.

SENATOR SAULsBURY's pet scheme of
an appropriation of $4,000 for st.
Jones' creek did not go through like
creased eel after all. 1t was all right
as far as the Senator went, but the
House objected to this and other items
to the amount of nearly half million

had passed from under the Committees

-Dcdr sir: The New England lines
positively refuse to reduce through
rates on peaches from Jersey City to
New England points. We had the i'm
press.on, at one time, that they would
do something, but it seems, from their
letters, that some of the shippers. in
Delaware, are anxious that the present
rates be maintained for the reason, as
they state, that lower rates would offer
inducements for shipments Of inferior
peaches. strengthened by these views
the lines east of Jersey City have. as
stated before, positively declined to re-
duce their figures

through. He had been hiding in the
woods all day. Constable Jacoby took
Morris to Galena, where he was COM
mitted, and then was taken to Jail at
Chestertown. He has been put in Il
secure cell and is heavily irOned.
Morris still claims that the shooting
was accidental.
WHO THE MURDERER Is.
Morris is drunken fellow and IL des-
perate character. Last year he tried to
burn a school house. lie was in Jail in
Baltimore for violating the L. :. reve-
nue. laws, and five years ago was in
dicted for perjury, and got off on flaw
in the Indictment. He was in Chester
town Jail 60 days for illegal liquor sell
ing. A year or so ago he poisoned
Samuel Typhet, forester, against
whom he had grudgc, and he nearly
died. Such is the man who committed
the murder.

SUNDAY DEsECRATION.--Re \.
Rittenhouse, who formerly filled the
pulpit of the NJ +. Church, Smyrna,
Del, preached in Ebenezer NJ. +.
Church, Philadelphia, Sunday night,
on Sabbath desecration and who is
responsible" He referred particularly
to Sunday railroad traffic. and accord
ing to the Philadelphia Record handled
the Pennsylvania and Reading Rail
reads In a segere mqnneT, going back
as far rs the Centennial year, and men
tioning the fact of the former company
reducing its fare on Sunday as an in
dUcement for Out-Oftown residents.
He also spoke Of the Pennsylvania
Road as having tried to force Qnen the
gates OF the Centennial grounds on
Sunday, and said that, fniling to do so,
1t Joined hands with the Geological
Garden managers, and now stands in
with them, selling admission tickets
and in other ways inducing Sunday
traffic. He secuted the idea of Sun
day trains being public demand, and
said if il were such the railroad COM
panies were responsible for its creation.
He also spoke bitterly OF Sunday
steamboat excursions, and: said that
those who provided them were 'respon-
sible, and that the voice Of the press

y Large Crop Of Wheat.
A CONCLUSIVE PROOF OF TIE VALTE

Mr.. Henry Clayton, president Of the
Citizens National Bank of MiddletoWn.
has just finished threshing IL 2j-acre
field of stalk ground wheat, which
turned out $40 bushels. over 81 BUSH

Mr.. Clayton used on this field 80
pounds to the acre Of Walton, Whann x
Co : Diamond Soluble Bone. drilled
with the seed and says the large Weld
is due to this fertilizer. No other
manure was used
This is Il very large yield a remark
able yield for stalk ground. and speaks
well for the fertilizer indeed.
Upon inquiry it is learned that this
fertilizer is sold for the low price of SD
per ton, and Er@ry Errnjng is told that
it produces larger wheat crops than
any fertilizer in the market.
This crop affords an excellent oppor-
tunity to determine whether fertilizers
pay.
Mr.. Clayton thinks the land would
not have produced. at the most, over II
bushels per acre without the fertilizer
y calculation on this basis shows, there
fore the additional gain in wheat per
acre, by the use of the fertilizer, is say,

W4TER SPECT4CLES.

DIR. Dudgeon describes an important
invention he made some time ago in
spectacles. These are called "diving
spectacles," but this name does not ex-
actly express their utility, as they may
be used without diving. They are spec
tacles designed for seeing under water
while the eye is in contact with the
water as in ordinary free diving. The
lenses of these spectacles are not glass
lenses, but air lenses Of sufficient mag
nifying power when immersed in water
to restore the refractive power the eye
loses when in contact with the water.
These lenses in no way affect vision in
the air, but only in the water. They
show the diver in clear water everything
in the water as distinctly as if the OBJ
jects were in the air and seen with the
naked eye. When swimming, if the
face merely be immersed below the sur
face of the water, these spectacles en-
able the wearer to see with perfect dis
tinctness everything at the bottom Of
the water or in the water under similar
conditions the naked eye sees nothing
distinctly.

CONSCIENCE.

Conscience is an avenger. It stands
at its post ready to vindicate the majesty
of broken law /; it rebukes sin with stern
voice, and passes its sentence on the
transgressor it is mans best friend or
his dreadful enemy. It haunts man
everywhere. It is fame kindled with
in his soul, which inwardly torments
and consumes him. 1t is an eternal fact
that he cannot reject the guardian care
of conscience, or escape the pains of its
avenging lash. It is a gnawing worm
which secretly preys on his vitals,
Though its avenging power may not b {
felt at once, and we may sin and seem t {
prosper, and be absorbed in the excit /,
ments Of the world, despite deman, b
upon us, until we think we have co d
quered conscience, it will come and ha "
its debt of us, and it will claim its p re
rogative; it will rake over the ashes o
our Indifference, and rekindle the ex in
guished fire. In some season of thouf dht
fulness, in some day Of disappointm enI
and trouble, when our vanities and
pride are thrown down-in some rest leal
hour, when sleep flies from the pill ow,
when gain and ambition must fail TO ex.
cite and satisfy the heart, that outrs ged
friend will rise up and do its Office, and
lift its avenging hand.

THE sMELLEKs OF THE WORLD

THE SMELLEKS OF THE WORLD
In the expression of affection, the
sense of smell, there is reason to be-
heve, is older in use or dignity than that
OF taste or touch. OF a Mongol father
traveller writes: "He smelled from
time to time the head of his youngest
son, mark of paternal tenderness usual
among the Mongols instead of embrao-
ing" In the Philippine islands, we are
told, "the sense of smell is developed to
SO great a degree that they are able, by
smelling at the pocket-handkerchiefs, to
tell to which persons they belong; and
lovers, At parting, exchange pieces of
the linen they may be wearing, and dur
ing their separation inhale the odor Of
the beloved being" Among the Citta-
gong hill people, again, it is said, "the
manner of kissing is peculiar. Instead
of pressing lip to lip, they place the
nose and mouth upon the cheek and in
hale the breath strongly. Their form
of speech is not 'Give me kiss, but
Smell me-" In the same way, ACCORD
ing to another writer, "the Burmese do
not kiss each other in the Western
fashion, but apply the lips and nose to
the cheek and make strong inhalation.
Moreover, the Samoans salute by q
"juxtaposition of noses, accompanied
not by rub, but by hearty smell"
There is scripture precedent for such
customs. When blind Isaac was in
doubt whether the son who came to
him was Jacob or not, " he smelt the
smell of his raiment, and blessed him"

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THEN.

The following story, which is many
years old, is located in Methuen, Mass. !:
A young man married and brought his
bride home to live with his mother.
The two women, as is sometimes the
case, did not agree well together, and
they quarreled SO much that it at Last
attracted the attention Of the Bap-
tist Church, Of which both were mem-
bers. Finally the pastors wife sought
the younger woman ana demonstrated
with her.
"Sister c." she said. "why do You
and your mother-in-law live 80 unhap-
PLY together You are both members
Of the same church, worship together,
and 90 to the communion table togeth-
