Brave Passengers.

LONDON, August 1.-The cabin pas.
sengers of the Hamburg American
steamer GellOrt behaved excellently
when, on July 2Sth, while the steamer
was on her voyage from New York to
Hamburg, she was discovered to be on
fire. They remained drawn up upon
deck awaiting orders. The wind was
light and the weather fine, but there
was a heavy swell. Most of the steer
age passengers were Polish Jews, who
howled, and screamed horribly. The
course of the vessel was changed to due
south, so as to bring her into the most
freguented part of shipping. When the
deck was cut through the iron was
found to be red hot.
If the fire had continued short time
longer it must have communicated to
the state-rooms and to the large quanti-
ty of rosin, when it would have been
impossible to save the ship.
The fire is attributed to the sponta-
neous combustion of tobacco. 1t is be-
Iieved that it must have been shoulder
ing ali the way from New York.

Two moonlsxnts But a small Moon

Owing to the threatening weather,
which prevailed throughout the day
yesterday, many persons, who other
wise would have gone on the moon
light excursions last evening, stayed
at home and In consequence both the
St. Paul's and Scott'S excursions were
slimly attended. The st. Pauls left
French street wharf, shortly after
O'CLOCK on the steamer FELTON,, accom-
panied by the WecCacoe Legion Band
OF Philadelphia, which discoursed
excellent music on the trip. The boat
went down the river to point below
New Castle and up the river as far as
Marcus Hook and returned about u
o'clock.
The Literary Association of Scott M.
4. Church ,al5o went out on the steamer
Wilmington, which left Fourth street
wharf at 8. 20 O'Clock. The First Regi-
ment Band accompanied the excursion
lists and gave splendid musical con-
cert on board the boat, which was
highly appreciated by those present.The
boat went down the river below New
Castle and up the river as far as Chester
when they returned home arriving al the
wharf shortly before II o'clock.
1t is TO be regretted that the weather
was against the parties, as they no
doubt lost money by the venture. The
storm however did not break until Etter
the excursionists were safe at home.
Part of the evening the moon could be
seen peeping through the clouds and
the night was not very dark.

the Cost OF Fences
Massachusetts, Farmer.


1t is q fact that the fences of the Uni
ted States have cost more than the land
and they are tC-iay IL 9 most valuable
class of property in the United States,
except buildings, railroads and real es-
tate in cities. To keep up the fences 1t
requires annually an enormous con-
sumption of timber. The 125,0OO farms
in Kentucky required 100, 900, 900 panels
of rails required is 1000, 900, 900, costing
$75, 5,OOO,O 900 To repair and keep in good
order the fences in thisone State alone,
costs annually $4,000, 900. Illinois,
comparatively new State, has $500, ,O0O,-
600 invested in fences, but it costs her
only about 100000 annually for re-
pairs, many of her fences being con.
structed of wire. The whole value of
the fences in the United States may be
set down at $1,000, 900, 900, and it costs
$1OO, 100000 annually to keep them In
ruBair.

EinRnInr. IL True.

Alexander De Beaumont, now EN-
ployed as machinist in BaldwtE's Loco
motive Works, Phila, published per-
sonal card Monday, in which he asserts
that he was poisoned in 1877, and twice
again in July, 1880, to such an extent,
that he was made temporarily unsound
in mind, and he takes occasion in his
card to apologize to those who may
have considered him unkind in his
words and acts during that time. Mr..
Beaumont alleges that the attempt to
poison him was the result of a desire
on the part of certain men to possess
themselves of valuable inventions of
his, and that he believes that those
persons bribed domestioS in his house
to make the deadly efforts against his
life
