Special to the JoURNAL.1
PHILADELPHIA, May 8.-Not only
is the year of '84 freIghted with pol
itical problems that concern the
nation, but with important local or
municipal affairs, which because OF
there signifcants, greatly absorb and
demand our early attention. You can
readily call to mind the political agita
tons, through which the Philadelphia
papers passed last fall-that done
how easy then to fix in ones mind
the hero of the occasion. This man
whose great ability, fitness and honor
are far fetched who was almost
unanimously nominated by a large
Republican convention (notwith-
standing the prominence and great
strength of his opponents) for Tax
Receiver Of this city, is again before
this public for its suffrage. would
be explicit, and state that G. G. Peirie,
who after receiving the unquestioned
endorsement Of his party for the posi-
ton above mentioned, sacrificed not
only self-interest, but disregarded the
prayers and wishes OF legion OF fol-
lowers, ard withdrew from the field.
Why did he thus? Solely for the in
terest of and thereby to enhance the
triumphant success of the Republican
party. The question may be asked
if he were so prominent SC well fitted
and endorsed so largely, why did he
withdraw? / would answer the same
by saying that at that time the mass
OF the voters were apparently so
evenly appreciative of the two leading
contestants for the honor, that MIR.
Peirie, and many of his friends, were
fearful of the result, lest our persistent
enemy would avail themselves of this
seeming division and thereby score a
victory. A sacrifice had to be made,
and Mr.. p. made it without a muir
muir. That one faithful and wisely
considered move greatly endeared
Mr.. p. to his numerous admirers, and
if possible, added new lustre to his
already shining laurels. In recogni-
ton of his worth, his intimate exper-
fence in the management ofimportant
business concerns, his constancy to
the Republican party and his honor
able life, it is our purpose to thus
fully honor him with the position Of
Recorder of Deeds, all opposition to
the contrary notwithstanding. So
cially Mr.. P. is agreeable, easy Of
approach, affable and unassuming !;
and while he enjoys the confidence
and respect Of the gods Of mammon,"
he is the poor mans friend, and never
fails to recognize his fellow man. How
unlike the many who are raised to
power and affiuence, and then forget
their coming. Consistency thou art
Jewel. If you would be my friend
while with you, do not forget me
when slightly removed.
| have already said more than l
purposed saying at this time, but
sycophancy and such fragrant disre-
gard nova. days are paid to promises,
assurances, and consistency, that |
cannot help landing an honorable
person, when the occasion presents.
With wishes for the success of our

APLEAsANT ENTERTAINMENT.
An Evening of Music and Recitation
with the Lutheran Sunday School.

An Evening of Music and Recitation
with the Lutheran Sunday School.
Quite a large audience assembled in the
lecture room of the Lutheran Church, on
Wright square, last night, where must
cal and literary entertainment was given
under the auspices of the Sunday school
of the church. A large Christmas ever
green. almost weighted down with hand
some souvenirs appropriate as presents
during the holidays, stood in the east end
of the room and formed the central feature
Of interest, especially to the juvenile pOr-
ton of the audience. Hot coffee and
stewed oysters were dispensed, for con-
sideratiOn, TO those who were cold, and
ice cream to those who were warm. The
latter had few purchasers. The enter
tainment was begun with an overture by
Prof. Warth and Frank K. Keilbach. who
gave fine piano rendition of LA Gazza
Ladra," followed by a recitation from
John G. SaXe's poems, by ReY.W 5. Bow
man. sMoonlight Will Come Again
was then sung by the Baptist Church
choir. and was one of the gems of the
evening. "Pretty Pond Lilies"
solo, was sung by j. Z. Puder,
who was commended by the audience.
One of the marked features of the enter
tainment was the duet on the piano by
Prof. Warth and f. E. Keilbach, who
rendered ''RhapsOdi HOngrovise" with
excellent effect, their manipulation of the
KEYS of the instrument being in good
tine, and giving the composition all Of
the force and delicacY of expression in
tended by the author. Mr.. Banks, of the
Presbyterian Church choir, sang select
ed solo in a very acceptable manner.
There's a Sigh in the Heart" was
sung by Mrs. Readick and Miss Maxey,
and was a most acceptable vocal perform
ance. In "Only to Love-" Mr.. Frank NJ.
Readick gave a pleasing rendition. The
Burial at Sea" was finely sung by the
Messrs. Readick, and this closed the en-
tertainment.

1t is now a most favorable time to OBJ
serve this unique and gorgeous planet,
that body being in ''OppositiOn"-that is
TO say, so situated as related to the sun
and the earth that a straight line would
pass through (nearly) the three bodies. 1t
has therefore at this moment reached that
point in It's orbit which is nearest the
earth, the distance being not far from
100, 0OO,OO0 miles. The exact moment OF
opposition" was Dec. u, IA hours. The
time is favorable for observation also,
from the fact that the angle of the rings
with the earth's orbit is very large, show
ing clearly even in small telescopes the
space between the rings and the body OF
the planet. The rings are sometimes in
the same plane with the observer, and,
therefore, being very thin-not more than
100 miles in thickness-are invisible. Once
in seven years the angle reaches its maxi
mum. It is not far from it at the present
time. The planet is now in the constella-
ton Taurus, near the boundary of Gemini,
and reaches the meridian at midnight. Its
semi-diurnal arc being hours "a minutes,
the planet is visible from moment after
dark to a moment before dawn.

while on her way down the river yester-

where she remained during the day. The
shoal on which she grounded is a small
one that could be easily removed if some
effort was made to do it, and it is a nOta-
BILE fact that a majority of vessels which
have been ashore this season grounded
on these fats.
Messrs. A. Minis & Sons clearsed yester-

E-tTrntfes Based Upon the Board OF
Trade Figures
The receipts OF rough rice thus far this
season. as made up by the Board Of Trade
at this port. amounts to 645,9-e bushels.
The stock remaining on hand amounts TO
4 ~ barrels Of clean and 81, $50 bushels
of rough. In comparison with the pre-
vious season il Will be seen that there are
only about 100000 bushels Of rough re-
mainfuq at the plantations to come for
ward during the coming nine months, as
IL is believed that the whole total crop
will not exceed that Of last season. A
remarkable feature OF this seasons crop
is the prOmptness with which II has Deen
handled. From these figures 1t Will be
seen that in the first quarter Of the nscal
year nearly the whole crop has come 10
market. and about One-hali Of that mar
keted has gone into consumption.
