4 Trip to TOIchester Beach.

1t was our good fortune to visit
this place yesterday on the occasion
ofthe Sabbath School excursion given
by the Presbyterian Church.
We must say we never spent a
more enjoyable day, and the trip was
most delightful one. The pleasant
steamer Nelly White left here about
10 o'clock with about $40 souls on
board and after two hours run across
the bay landed all safely at the Beach.
The excursionists soon dispersed to
all parts of the grounds to seek en-
joyment, of which there was no end
for children and grown persons too.
Soon every conceivable place of anus
ment was filled and the bathing
shores were also well patronized. d.
The grounds are picturesque and
romantic throughout, and every con-
ceivable amusement in the way of
sport is provided, that the great mul.
titudes cannot fail to enjoy. A more
enjoyable place for Sabbath Schools
cannot be found in Maryland. One
of the most notable features of the
place is that no intoxicating liquors
are sold on the premises and no one
is allowed to bring any there. Out
of at least 5000 people on the
grounds yesterday, not one intoxica-
ted person was observed, and not the
slightest excitement or disturbance
occurred during the day. This, we
have no doubt, has been the secret of
the great success and popularity of
Colchester Beach.

Antifermentine is simple, harmless
preparation, free from taste, smell and
color, that has the property of stopping
and precenting fermentation in all vegeta
BILE food. 1t is especially useful for pre-
serving fruit of all kinds, retaining the
natural fresh appearance and taste Of the
fruit. Its use does away with labor, and
makes what has been hot, disagrccable
task, delight and pleasure. 1t substi-
tutes for the summer heat of the kitchen,
the cool shade of the lawn or piazza. Its
results are never doubtful when used
according to directions, and Strawberry
Short Cake, and Peach and Berry Pies
can be had in winter as we'll as in summer
Its use is profitable and economical, for it
saCes one-half of the sugar, saves the jars

Promotion Of Commander SchIey.

Ii afforded US pleasure short
time ago to express the hope, through
the columns of the CAPITAL, that the
rule in reference to the recognized in
gratitude of Republics might be made
to bend and constitute an exception
in the case of Commander w. S.
Schley. And to that end that the
American Government would mani
fest, as became a great country, in
some practical manner, the deep and
deserved appreciation in which the
people of the United States held and
honored the ilIustrious officer who
deserves well of his country by be-
coming the timely Savior of the
few lives that remained of all
that constituted the Lady Frank
lin Bay Expedition. Our hope,
at last, we are more than glad to know
will, ere long, be fully realized. On
yesterday the dispatches from New
York informed US that the Secretary of
the Navy notified Commander Schley
that the President had decided to ap-
point him Chief of the Bureau of
Equipment and Recruiting, in place
of Commodore Earl English, who
takes command of the European
Squadron in the early part of Septe a.
ber next. With the Office of Chief of
Bureau in the Navy Department
goes the rank of Commodore. This
is right, just and proper, as well
merited recognition of the valuable,
unsel6sh and self-sacrificing services
that this now world-renowned Artic
rescurer and unreser led, gallant and
fearless officer has more than earned.
This promotion will be appreciated
not only by the line and staff of the
American Navy, but by mankind gen.
orally. From hence forward, and for
all time to come, the immortal fame,
so gloriously achieved by Comman-
der Schley, will follow his name with
the prefix of ''the rescurer of the Gree
ly Artic Expedition" It is jewel
that will " preserved in memory for
all time to come by the people of a
grateful country. The people of An
napolis, .and of this, his native State,
will receive the tidings of Command
er Schley's promotion with feelings of
respect and unfeigned pleasure. We
entertain no doubt that the good old
State of Maryland, which claims him
as one of her sons, of whose Naval his
tory and Artic exploits she feels justly
proud will, when her next Legislature
assemblies, take steps to proper mani
fest that high regard and due sense of
appreciation which she. entertains for
one so deserving. And it is to be
hoped that our Representative in
Congress, from this district, will be
Joined by the rest of his colleagues,
from this State, in asking of Congress
q still further recognition, cOmmensu-
rate with the services Of Commander
Schley.

Excursion Trips up the Severn.

The steamer "Juniata," Captain
Crosby, is now making regular trips
to this city. The "Juniata," will
make daily excursion trips from An
napolis, leaving her wharf foot of
Main street, at p. m, returning to
the city about six o'clock, thus giving
trip of four hours on the beautiful
Severn beyond Round Bay. This is
splendid opportunity for our citi-
zens to enjoy a pleasant and quiet
trip on the picturesque Severn, for
the triaing sum of 25 cents the round
trip. Special arrangements will be
made with Sunday Schools, and with
families who desire to avail them
selves of these trips, by Mr.. John B.
Flood the Annapolis agent. The
"Juniata" is a safe and commodious
steamer, nicely fitted up with every
convenience for the comfort of her
passengers. 1t is to be hoped our
citizens will encourage the new en-
terprise by liberal extension of their
patronage. =

Another New Horse Disease,

a dispatch from stroudsburg says: A
new disease that is becoming prevalent
among the horses in this section is causing
the farmers great anxiety. DR.. Miller,
veterinary surgeon of the New Jersey State
Board Of Health, has given the epidemic
the name OF aEotwina. When attacked, the
animal breaks out into violent sweat ard
limps on its hinds legs, only allowing the
points of its hoofs to touch the ground. The
only way to cure the disease is to swing
the animal clear Of the ground by means OF
straps around its body, and unless this is
done when the symptoms first appear,death
invariably follows. The disease is said to
come from oNerleeding, aud is pronounced
similar to Bright's disease of the kidneys.
