GET THE BEST.
The Philadelphia Times,

The people generally get that which they make
market for. They demanded better newspa-
pers. and within the last few years journalism has
made rapid strides. The Times which, from the
day of its first ISSUE took place in the front rank
OF progressive Journalism, has kept along at the
newspaper than ever. 1t is a journal that never
sleeps and never takes a holiday. As there are
365 days, so there 365 issues of The Times in
year. The weekday edition of The Times is of
four pages, being in form suitable for the busy
man or the busy woman. The Sunday edition, of
eight pages contains great deal of the best mis-
cellany as well as all the news The editorial
strength of The Times need not be dwelt upon
the fact that 1T is quoted more than any Other
paper in America is sufficient evidence of its en-
celence in that direction. Nor need the typo
graphical superiority be more than mentioned
for It is widely known as 1.-THE handsomest paraz
in the country"

Subsequently he went to Virginia to
superintend the working of some iron

were interested. He returned toPhiladel-

When the latter was elected President
Mr. Brown was appointed Collector of

bout the year 1854 being at racted by
the mild climate and the fruit lands of
the peninsula, he removed to Delaware
and settled at Dover, where he became
one of the leading agriculturists and
fruit growers of the section. Retaining
his Democratic princi pies he took an
active part in politics and became the
Democratic candidate for Congress at
the special election in 1868 to elect a
successor to William Temple who had
been elected in 1862 but died before TAX

votes cast except Il, that were given to

Yester days Cape May Excursion.


Eli Crozier, President of 1--WE the
People" was vi the Christiana Presby-
terian Church excursion to Cape May
on the STEAMER Republic Yesterday, and
says there were over |, 800 persons
aboard. Of these about 400 went from
Wilmington by special train to New
Castle, where they and 700 from the last
named town boarded the majestic
steamer. Some 400 or 500 more got on
at Delaware City and completed the
number.
The Pr sident reports the waters Of
the bay very rough, and before the
steamer reached it's destination large
numbers expressed themselves in au
emphatic manner of going to see
some place tnat sounded very much like
"New York" The sea was so exceed
ingly rough that the proposed trip across
to the Breakwater had to be postponed.
The steamer pitched and reared to such
an extent that she demolished part of
the wheelhouse, and the wharf also sus-
tanned some damage, after which the
Republic steamed out and anchored
where she could do no damage.
The President says the slaughter
amongst acknowledged chickens was
something he had never seen eXcelled,
and though loads of cake and biscuit
We're bolted down on top, he chickens
found their way up. They were little
like Ham cts ghost, they " would not

of the vessel, or out over the railing and
down amongst the pillows. Many
amusing scenes were Witnessed, especi.
ally upon entering the vessel by going
down "A gang plank through a low pas
sage way, which was hard on fine hats
aud feathers.
On the return, the rolling ship sent
the tat folks rolling over the chairs and
sofas, and found secure rolling room on
the carpeted floor. The President says
i'll his comca! manner that "the only
druhnen man | saw on the trip was "a
woman, and the way she slid from the
chairs to the floor was ludicrous in the
extreme. A pleasant time was expert
elced on the beach, and large numbers
took dip in the briny waves. Great
credit is due to ex-Sheritf Philip K.
Clark for the success of the excursion,
but he was ably seconded by numbe
of ladies and gentlemen.
