WE have received from Senator Bay
ard copy of his address delivered
before the graduating class of the Law
school at the late Commencement at
Yale College. The Senator is in frequent
demand for these public occasions,
where men of eminence only are call
ed to the front, and he never fails OF a.
respectful hearing. He chose for his
theme "The Responsibilities of the
Legal Profession in a Republic" and
made, as usual, a thoughtful and solid
argument. The central thought of the
address is contained in the assertion
that "under our American system the
legal profession is actually part OF the
Government itself" This is neces-
sary result of the establishment of the
judicial department ofthe Government.
But the other departments of the Gov
ernment not necessarily committed to
the management of lawyers are yet
largely in their hands, and will always
remain SO. The responsibility ofa pro-
fession so burdened with public duties
affords to Mr.. Bayard the occasion fol
some very judicious comment.

"The Elopement."

The daily papers, commencing with
the Philadelphia Press, have been try
ing to work up Q sensation of a matri
monial order, foT which this town fur
nished plot, scene, characters, &C., for
such den0uement as the imaginative
reporter could with scant material bring
out vividly on paper. True, the tongue
of gossip had been busy for several
days and as Is usual, many improbable
and false statements got ahoat which
did not diminish in color or intensity
in hereporters hands. Withoutattempt-
ing TO correct the account in the daily
papers in detail, We will state the case
briefly. Miss Carrie A. Lethsrbury,
the heroine of the Press story, was
visiting her aunt, Mrs. Amelia Cover
dale at belmont" as has been her
custom for seyerhi summers. Her
friends, very NATURALLY, as She was only
q school girl, did not like her to keeb
especial Company, but as was quite d
natural for yopng people Of romantic
temperament, OF wiieh IN the goInaptic
age, she and Harry It. Ashcraft met ia
town and elsewhere quite often. Nc
one looked upon it as anything more
than q youthful fancy such as is seer
Smyrna times., 1883-08-15

most any day, and certainly no one
dreamed for moment that an "elope-
ment" was in contemplation. Why
they came to this conclusion we will
not state under the favorable turn
events have taken what we might,
were the attitude of their friends such
as was pictured in the daily papers.
They left here about nine o'clock on
Sunday evening 18th inst drove to
the residence of his brother-in-law,
VIM. M. Vandegrift, near Odessa, where
they stopped short time, then went
on to Delaware City where he left his
horse and carriage and took the boat
on Monday morning for Philadelphia.
They were married the same day las is
recorded elsewhere), Mr.. Vandegrift,
above named, being with them. The
bride and groom returned here on Sun
day and have been spending the time
since with his father, DR.. Ashcraft and
other relatives, and leave to-day for
Chester by invitation of her father
David A. Letherbury. Mr.. Ashcraft
expects to select a town in New Jersey
next week for the purpose of locating
and opening a drug store.

EYapOrated Fruit.

Is there not something as yet unac-
counted for in the existing flat cOndi-
ton of the eyapOrated fruit market?
From the first initiation of the industry
the demand grew faster than the means
of supply, and it was only late in the
present year that the market showed
any considerable signs of an over sup
ply, or rather as we think Q poor sup
ply. 1t is seldom that an article of
consumption thrown on the market
gains so strongly in public favor as did
evaporated peaches from the time they
were first manufactured ON the Penin-
sula until this year, and to now sud-
denly meet with public disfavOr, will
lead thinking men to a timely investi-
CATION of the cause, which it is though
will be found in the mode of bleaching
the fruit, which makes it beautiful to
look upon but very bitter to the taste.
Judging from the way it is rejected in
our local markets and even in the
families of the cyaporal0rs themselves
q few more yeaFs viii naturally affect
this important Industry; There must
be a better mode of bleaching. Either
public taste must be educated to accept
the fruit unbleached-when it is truly
excellent-or go back to the old process
Of bleaching while the fruit is drying
oyer the heater and has the surface
glazed SO it win not absorb so much OF
the sulphur. This we are aware adds
to the risk of the evaporation, the wood
en- drying flue absorbing the sulphur
until it becomes charged like lucifeI
match and in some unexpected moment
goes off with a fash, We believe there
is an opening for the man who will de-
wise new process of bleaching, that
will. be free from objections found in
the modes hitherto in use. 1t may
save the industry from q fearful col
lapse on the market. .,..
