 .Mr. Robert P. Porter, who is investiga- ting the condition of the workmen of Europe, is now in Germany and his discoveries there are interesting and significant. Until about four years ago, Germany had been practical ly free trade country. The wages of al most all classes of workmen were pitiably small. They were worse of than the wage earners of Great Britain, even. For the las t four years, protective policy has been en- forced in the Fatherland, and wages have been steadily increasing. Protection has not been the order of the day long enough to make the change so noticeable as it will be in few more years, but already the wages of the iron workers have grown till they are nearly if not quite equal to the wages of similar classes in England, and the tendency is still upward
 The Florida ship canal project appears to be hourishing.

Available entrances, however, from deep water have been found and the construction of ports may be readily compasssd. The saving to commerce of the proposed canal would be enormous. It would shorten the time of steamers and sail ing vessels plying to the Gulf ports from three to seven days, an item alone worth

Finding of a Second Volume of tn
Memories OF George Nv.

memories Oi George Nv.
ERIE, Pa, Oct 2.-Gwo Or three years ago
an Associated Press telegram was published
saying that the English royal family offered
81 600 for a book in the hands of Louisville
lawyer entitled Memories of George w."
The book was said to be the only copy in ex-
istence. 1t gave history of all the scandals
of that monarch's marriage with Mrs. Fitz-
herbert, who gave birth to child in lawful
wedlock. George Watts, of Northeast
this county, came into town and looked
over newspaper file. He saw the telegram
referred to for the first time, and exclaimed
that he had the identical book, which he had
brought with him from England in 1882. He
placed the book in the hands of a gentleman
of this city for safe keeping, and wrote to
Gladstone asking what the royal family
would give for it, If the book is true, Vic
toria was not the rightful heir to the throne.
1t was supposed until recently that every
COPY had been suppressed,

DELI A
DESCRIPTION OF DELAWARE.

The State of Delaware is situated be-
tween the Delaware ana Chesapeake
Bays, and is about one hundred miles in
length by thirty in breadth. On both
sides it is pierced by numerous small
bays, inlets and rivers, many of which
extend into the land until they almost
meet the head waters of others flowing
in the opposite direction. This renders
the whole peninsula not only well
watered and drained, but also affords
the means of cheap water transportation
to the great commercial cities of New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore; two
of which are within one hundred and all
within one hundred and fifty miles of the
Capital of the State. Besides these adj
vantages there is still another in the
abundance Of the best fish and oysters
that the sea and its tributaries afford.
The climate is remarkably pleasant and
unusually healthy. Located between the
thirty-seventh and fortieth parallel of
latitude and so nearly surrounded by
large bodies of salt water with perfect
drainage, it is not strange that the eli
mate should be pleasant and the VIII ole
section healthy. The summers are tenn
pered by tie balmy and moist sea
breezes that blow upon it from the South
and East, while the winters are so mild
that frequently we have but little snow !
or ice. The change from northern /
section to this Peninsula often cures dis c
eases of the throat and lungs that have /
been contracted by the severity of the !
northern winters. In this manner many =
weak lungs have been relieved, sore c
throats permanently cured and the ter "
rible catarrh of cold climates entirely T
eradicated. Here all kinds of outdoor Il
work is carried on throughout the win y
ter, and rarely is it SO severe as to keep Il
farmers or mechanics from their regular fl
outdoor occupations The facilities for N
-ravel and transportation are unusually n.
excellent, and besides the two bays with a.
heir numerous navigable streams pene- a,
rating the interior, we have the Della cl
ware Railroad running the whole length ad
f the State from Wilmington to Del 70
nar. This road throughout its course az az
) laid upon the "back- bone" of the y a
'eninsuIa, 50 that it is conveniently ac- 81,
essible to all those who are not near to rel
r upon navigable streams. Indeed. it tn

DELAWARE.

1t IS unnecessary to recount all the
reasons that have conspired to keep the
Delaware Peninsula so long a thinly
populated section; but every one nc.
knOwledges the fact that here. within
close proximity to the great markets OF
the East may be found a soil as pro-
ductlve as the average of our Union. at
prices that are exceedingly low. Here
are manufacturing seats and business
opportunities as unutilized as when the
territory was inhabited by the Indians.
Slavery and inadequate transportation
were the main causes working in the
past to produce the neglect of these in
terests; and these produced a habit in
immigration to 90 by Delaware. The
causes have been removed. but the habit
IS not yet fully overcome. Her idle
lands, her congenial climate, her bust
ness opportunities, her advantageous
| position, hold out implorine hands to
| the thousands Of energetic families of
the less favored sections of the Union
to come here and enjoy for the balance
OF their days the greatest facilities for
making themselves comfortable and /
happy, and it may be, wealthy. Hun |
dreds of men who have a knowledge of
some manufacture, find themselves
crowded in the North and East: and be-
cause of competition make but little or
no progress. Let such transfer their
knowledge and machinery to the invit-
ing fields of Delaware, where as a few
others are now doing, they will find a
more prosperous career awaiting them.
Through the establishment Of the Old
Dominion route between New York and ,
Lewes, extremely low freight and pas /
senger rates bring this territory as near !
to the great markets as are the suburbs 4
Of the cities.
In the nature of things, it may not a
continue for many years that this section v
with all Its natural and artificial advan-
iages, shall offer homes and business
at figures so far below
other sections less advantageously To- \
,ated, and therefore. it is the part of
wisdom for those contemplating a "
hange to take a share in the improve a
nent and enjoy the advance. b
1t is a mistake to think that only fruit u
an be grown here, though in the grow %
lg of peaches and other fruits this D'
enjoys peculiar advantages. u
ct as good grass and as heavy mead ol
ws may be found here as anywhere on Sc
ne continent. Grains of all kinds Weld p'
liberal harvest. Vegetables and W.
garden truck" invite here an effort to WI
lpply the city markets at an expense
T less than obtains from many places NJ
here the same is now successfully con
Icted. Lambs, calves and pigs are of
grown for early markets. Fr
utter OF gilt-edge quality is being pro- of
iced from early fall till late spring, and 70,
turns to such of our farmers as have am
ted themselves for this industry, the sto
st prices during those months. oil
Each year is marking a steady and loa
ry perceptible improvement in every wit
rtion of these interplay counties. no
iere is scarcely a town where building bol
not continuous the year through, and far
{ few towns have now homes enough nro
the demand. This makes a lively firm
mand for mechanics that are not
md in sufficient number among us.
