The UTlmingtonidR answers the
question "What has become of the peo-
pie who frequented the seaside re-
sorts? ?" us follows:
From all the seaside resorts on the
Atlantic coast comes the same COM
plaint-' What a dull season! Where
are all the people gOne?'
Answer-they (the better class of
customers are gone to the mountains
and the inland health resorts and
springs.
Why? Because year by year the
morals and good conduct OF our bath
ing places have been deteriOrating, till
prudent fathers and anxious mothers
are unwilling TO expose their daugh-
ters TO the cOntaminating influences
and spectacles of the modern fashion,
able seaside resort.
1t is fact not to be denied that
young ladies only too quickly acquire
the customs of the fast-and-loosc dam
sells who revel in the surf at Atlantic
City and Cape May. Disgust softens
INTO indifference indifference sudden
ly springs into imitation. till re-
spectacle girls, the children of parents
who would have blushed for their off
spring ten short years ago, are to be
found capering in a half-nude condi-
ton on the sands, surrounded by giddy
young gentlemen of the easiest sort Of
morals, and reproducing in an exagger-
ated form the worst features of Trou-
vile, BoulOgne or the most free-and-
easy Of French watering-places."

THE sporting public which is anx-
iOusly waiting for Maud S. to beat her
wonderful record made at Cleveland
two weeks ago, will probably, says the
New York Tribune, have to take it out
in waiting. Mr.. Vanderbilt has about
made mp his mind to sell the famous
mare, and to sell her to some one who
will not race her. He finds that the
public gets more ont Of her than he
himself, and he does not altogether en-
JOY the nOtority which the ownership
Of the animal entails. 1t will probably
be sometime, therefore, before the great
record of "2O93 on a slow track " is
beaten.

A GREAT deal of harsh criticism has
been dealt out by the papers Of the
past week at what is called the can
nibalism of the Greedy exploring
party before their rescue in the Arctic

has been often shown before that starry

dent to sustain life. Men in extremi-
ty are not to be judged by rules made
for and observed by civilized society.
The story Of how they were found has
been told, and this is pathetic enough
to quiet all the wagging of tongues
moved by suspicion or morbid love of

Disorder satur.lnx Nicht-

Saturday night in our town wit
messed the largest crowded and most
disorder of any night of the season.
We have had no special reason to
speak OF our Saturday nights before
this Summer, though the habit of the
laboring classes, largely from the coun-
try, to crowd our streets and business
places has been much the same rs last
year. The usual number of people was
augmented by the large array Of tramn
labOrerers from the peach farms tn
whom were to be added the warrants
spending the peach season in our State.
There was difficulty between some
tramps and IA cOlored man before night

go home with some other men. The

Peach, Nofos

The weather this week is warm and
hurrying the peaches to market very
fast. This week will be the fullest
and busiest Of the season, and if an
" Old Nixon glut" is not experienced.
it will prove an exception to usual sea-
sons.
Fifteen cars were loaded at Clayton
Saturday, and eighteen Monday.
BrenfOrd sent twelve.
John Anthony shipped two baskets
of peaches Monday, which 1OI filled
80 in one and 81 in the other. They
were of the Reeves variety. This is
ahead, we think, of anything yet re-
ported in the way Of large peaches.
Judging from the quantity shipped,
4 or 8 cars daily, the peach crop has
proved nearly a failure this year in
Kent county, Md, and the same can
be said for Talbot county.
The peach trains for the West go a
humming-38 hours from Philadelphia
to ChicagO time. 81 cars left
the Delaware road Monday for West
ern cities. Five of these were from
Clayton.
The Diamond State Picl,ling Compa-
ny have bought the orchards of Joseph
FOreacres and J. b. FAIRIES They
commenced canning on Monday with u
full force Of Workmen.
POI car loads Of peaches went over
the road on Monday, with an expected
rise above this each day for several
days. 68 of these went to New York.
80 to Boston, p to Philadelphia. The
remainder were divided between East
ern and Western towns.
The boat at ROthwel's Landing was
delayed, day or two ago, an hour by
a great rush OF teams coming at start
ing time. This unnecessary DELAY NAV
cause the boat to lose a tide and thlE
put the fruit in market after the hours.
which the shippers would not like.
The selling prices Of peaches yester-
day We're Boston, &llO to $500 per
basket; New York, GO cents to $500;
Philadelphia, 80 cents to $l.25.

IT seems the inhabitants of Hickman
and Lewis County, Tennessee, do not
relish the proselyting ministrations of
Mormon missionaries, and commenced
a counter campaign with their shot
guns. By the attack on the meeting
three mormon elders have gone to Join
Joseph Smith and Brother Brigham in
the happy hunting grounds, and it is
probable nine or ten wives and thirty
or forty children mourn their untime-
ly loss. Such violence is to be depre-
Gated, but as the Government has al
lowed this moral blight on our civiliza-
ton to grow, these people are not
without excuse in protecting their
homes from the invasions of these
moral lepers.

FROM the fact that the crimes of the
whole nation are spread before the
people each day in our large daily
papers. making fearful record, many
people actually believe the world is
going from bad to worse, but the
Christian AdrOcdte takes Il different
view. In late issue it says
lone has only to take the most cas-
ual survey of current literature to see
that religion holds the chief place in
the thought of the time. What may be
known and not known; what is to be
believed and not to be believed what
ought to be mems behavior, and why {;
what does the Bible tcach-these are
the leading topics in the higher litera-
ture of the time. The number of
boOks-large, learned and able-which
have their inspiration in religion is
simply amazing. No scientific fact, no
social problem, can be discussed with
out its religious bearing being pointed
out and fully set forth. The chief end
of man is yet to glorify God and enjoy
him forever"

THE DelaWm'e Republican, in noting
the political changes of the past thirty
years, thus touches the subject of
Know-NOthingism which had an
ephemeral existence Of a year, but left
after it a troublesome memory:
One of the most significant sinns of
the change that is going on in politics
Is the revolt Of II large portion of the
Irish voters against the party with
which they have heretofore acted with
such unanimity as to be practically
solid. To give the reasons why the
Irish voters have heretofore clunp so
tenaclOusly to the Democratic partv
we are compelled to 90 back as far as
the great famine of 1S47. 1t was then
that the Irish people, being robbed of
their industries by the grasping intol-
ePance OF British free trade, commenced
lmmlgrating to America. In less than
one decade more than two and a quar-
ter million of them had found homes in
the United States. As the Irish were
generally Catholics the religious peo-
pie of this country took the alarm. and
out of that alarm grew the Know
Nothing party, composed of both Dem
Ocrats and old time Wings. The
speedy overthrow of this party only
showed how little ground there was
for fear, and that the American people
were governed by larger ideas than
mere sectarianism. Not unnaturallv.
the Irish voters attached themselves
to the party in opposition to this party
that was inimical to their personal and
political interests. The protection
they were seeking for they found in
the Democratic party, and they be-
came the allies of that party. The
gratitude Of the Irish has acted as a ce-
ment to bind them to that party ever
since, and oven now, though their
personal interest and welfare is TO act
with the Republican party, u majority
OF their votes will be cast for the Dem
ocratic candidates.

The new pFohibitory law in Iowa is
having the usual experience of such
laws, or we might say, all laws the en-
forcement Of which interferes with the
personal habits and customs of the
people. There is generally Judge
ready to throw distinctions in the
way by adverse decisions in legal CON.
structions, and such has been found in
"A Judge Hayes, who decides that ,nao-
istrates have no Jurisdiction in cases
arising under the new law. One or
two other judges have decided thew
have, and thus there will be this see
saw treatment until the matter is set
tied by the Supreme Court.
Practically, this question oe iurisdic.
ton is neither very important nor in.
significant. 1t is Intermediary in the
scale. 1t would increase the cost of
prosecution and delay matters some
whabtO exclude the Justices from iuris-
dietion; at the same time it would NOT
ny any means determine the practical
question Of the extent to which the law
will be enforced in that State.
As Illinois and Nebraska, and praeti-
cally Ohio also, are testing the feasibil-
ity Of high license as "A check upon the
evil Of intemperanee, so Iowa and Kan.
sas are making the same test in regard

ments are sure to be Of inealculable
importance in determining the settled
policy Of the Western States with their
cosmopolitan population, and, perhaps,
of the country generally, toward in
toxicating drinks. The final inquiry
win be whether under its operation
the cause Of temperance and the good
of society as a whole are promoted.

Basket Making Closed.

The basket mills of Tschudy & Cats
and II. r. Mustard & Co., expect to
finish up their stock of material this
week and shut down. That of Stephen
Walker, at Clayton, did not run but Il
part of the season. The years work is
not at all satisfactory; in fact it is less
so than the last, which was poorer than
any that preceded it. The trouble
last year and this both have been too
many baskets in the market. The
supply has been above the demand.
Another embarrassment to add to this
years account is II yield of peaches
from the trees very much below the
estimate in June. 1t is probable that a
number of the baskets made this sea-
son will have to be carried over. The
selling price has been 5000 per hun

witness the nuptials of two of their
number thus starting out on life's Jour
ney buOyant, as they should be, with
lite's prospects and promises before
them. The new church. beautiful in
its outward and inward finish. was
made still more attractive by the floral
decorations which the young friends of
the contracting parties had deity and
tasteiully prepared for the occasion.
A large arch spanned the chancel
fronting the pulpit; from its centre
hung nicely shaped bell made of
evergreen, the clapper Of which was
formed of white flowers. Vases of fra
grant HOWers set about the chancel
sent out rich perfume.
At the proper time the wedding par
ty entered the church to the enliven-
ing strains of Mendelshon's wedding
march from the skillful hands of III. A,
Cleaver, of Chesapeake City, Md. who
presided at the organ. The candi-

completely covered with veii'of tulo,
caught up here and there with clus-

ing Of three-quarters of an hour was

was southwest, not a complete sea

prospect of fair weather on the ocean.
and the excursion altogether promises
