proper rest and care when in the con-
fiict of elements infants and adults
alike vainly seek restful sleep with
one hand down in the cool of the
grave.
Thus by cars we reach Atlantic
City. A few days since nearly 300
car loads of passengers came here
from Philadelphia. each to battle, to
rest, to be cool, to rejoice. For many
years this was simply Absecom
Beach. A light house whose light
can be seen twenty-six miles out at
sea is known as A bsecOm Light. The
inlet above noted is known as Abse-
com Inlet, along whose mouth not
many years ago was growth of oak
duly converted into stout ships. That
was when the United States had a
navy and power on the waters. This
is in Atlantic County that has about
10000 resident population, the chief
native pursuits are oySterine, fishing
and farming, profitable IN the order
named. In Philadelphia AbsecOm
oysters are the way up bivales, before
whom all others bow down and tren-
bic. They are small, but very sweet
and delicious. In a round with the
Blue Points as popular in New York
as brown shelled hens eggs are in
Boston, the AbsecOm oysters would
knock the Blue Points out as quick
as hard shell Democrat would gag
at the civil service law.
So it is that Atlantic City is really
noted for its oysters, crabs, fish of
various kinds to be taken by the hun.
dreds by any novice who care to go
out in one of the hundreds of little
boats with lateen sails to be had here
for trifle and which go right into
the inlets, thoroughfares, bays, etc.,
where table fish are to be had by the
millions. Now that we have told
where Atlantic City is, it will be in
order to describe its hotels, cottages,
bathing houses, magnificent surf, and
its manifold and curious attractions,
in one or more subsequent original
! letters.

DeIirium Tremens Cured.

Justice Casey. OF TOnpkiDsville,
Staten Island, was seated in his Of
flee on Wednesday evening when a
man named Brown came in, and
said that he wanted an officer to arrest
another man who was constantly fol.

threatening murder. Squire Casey
saw at once that Mr.. Brown was in
wild state of delirium tremens, but
that it was not desperate case, The
Squire turned to Constable McVey,
who was in the room, and ordered
him to go out and arrest the suppNs.

A Wrong that Rises In.

The Dolphin matter may become
standing source of trouble in the
Navy Department. Injustice never
will rest tranquil. Wrong will con-
tinue to cry out for redress. The AL
tercation now going on between the
Naval Advisory Board and the Dol.
pnin Board Of Examiners shows very
plainly that there may exists at least
valid difference of opinion between
competent Judges as to the merits or
dement's of that ship. There are two
opinions everywhere. The navy is
divided-some standing by the Sec
rotary, and others favoring the az
ceptance of the ship as a substantial
fulfiIment of the requirements of the
contract,
There are two aspects of this case
that may give trouble: those of the
law and those of the facts. The re-
lection of the ship is based on the
facts as found by board which knew
the Secretary'S desire to reject the
ship. The finding of this board was
fOregOne conclusion. Its Officers
understood how to find favor with
the department. But the facts that
they find are contradicted by comic
tent persons, and the question can
not fairly be regarded as closed. y
The view of the law which declares
that the contract was controlled by
the law, and that, besides, the con-
tract was void, is one that carries diff
ticulties with it. If there was no
valid written contract, then the rela-
tiOnS of the parties must require adj
judication. Thus there are troubles
thickening both in regard to the facts
and the law. Injustice is always
troublesome.
The great desire of the Navy De-
partment had always been to score a
point against the former administra-
ton Of that department. In its haste
to condemn very fine ship, which
competent authorities pronounce to
he fully equal to the demands made
upon her, the department did not
carefully consider the complications
certain to arise under any injustice
in the decision. AS matters now
stand, the navy is dissatisfied and
divided; the people are dissatisfied;
the government is in the tolls of COM
plications woven by itself, and the
largest shipyard in the country is
made ins0lvent. And the end is not
yet.-RaitimOre american.

The Nations Dead.

MT. MCGREGoR, August 3.-At 2
O'Clock yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Grant and her daughter, and three
sons and their wives, were in the cot
tage parlor on Mount McGregor.
Rev. DIR. Newman and wife we're
also there. The family circled the
catafalque, beneath which the calm
peaceful face of the general made one
OF the group. Mrs. Grant from table
brought her husbands Bible. She
opened it. passed it to Mrs. Newman.
and the latter handed it to DR.. New
man, and when the minister had adj
justed his glasses he found that on
the opened page was printed the 18th
chapter of Job. The chapter was read,
and then the clergyman re-read with
tender emphasis the 10th and 10Th
verses. A slight pause, and then DR..
Newman bowed for prayer, and each
one of those present knelt about the
silent member of the group.
MT. MCGREGoR, August 3.-Gen.
Hancock arrived here this morning.
He telegraphed here from Saratoga
that no salutes should be fired in his
honor upon his arrival at Mt. McGre-
Ror, as 1t would be in bad taste. The
General marched at the head of his
staff up the slope to the cottage, where
he was met by Col. Grant. None
but the General and his staff were adj
mitted to the cottage at that time, but
later the doors were thrown open to
the general public.
Notwithstanding the heavy rain
storm trains up the mountain were
crowded and the single file of those
who passed through the cottage to
view the remains did not cease till 6

SATURDAY, AUG. 8. 1885.

There seems to be general and
widespread complaint of hard times.
Great business depression seems to
prevail all over the country and affects
all classes of business. There is a
wide difference of opinion as to the
cause of this business depression, and
nobody has been able to explain the
matter to the satisfaction of all clas-
ses. The hard times of which we as
q people are complaining seem to be
felt with equal severity in England.
An English writer says "that few
Englishmen can recall period of
depression which for severity and
duration can compare with that which
that country now suffers from, and
the end of which none are able to
see." So severe is the depression
there, that all national industries are
likely to come to stand still. In
view of these facts the Government
of Great Britain has appointed a
commission to inquire into the causes
of the present business depression in
that country. Numerous opinions
have been advanced in explanation
Of the hard times. But the problem
80 far as we can see is still unsolved.
There is one explanation which has
been frequently referred to by politi-
clans, political speakers and partisan
newspapers to which we desire at this
juncture to call attention. 1t has
often been asserted by the authorities
above referred to, that the hard
times in this country were produced
by. and were the natural and inevit-
able result of our system of a protec-
tive tariff, And because the Repub-
lican party inaugurated the present
system, it has been argued that that
party was necessarily responsible for
the hard times. The fallacy of such
an explanation or of such an argu-
ment must. it seems to US. be appar-
ent when we reflect upon the present
condition of free trade England.
England has no protective tariff, and
whatever advantages are to be Derry
ed from free trade policy is hers.
Nevertheless she has all the suffering
and depression of hard times. There
is ample room to believe and to argue
that our sufferings from hard times as
people would be much greater were
it not for our system of protection.
And it is equally fair to argue that
the greater amount of suffering in
consequence of the hard times {much
greater than ours) in Great Britain,
is in great measure due to the free
trade policy of that country. What
ever may be the cause of hard times,
we think the fault is not in the tariff.

Bridges Destroyed.

BALTIMORE, August "A heavy
rain has prevailed here since last
night, but no serious damage has
been done. In western Maryland
there was severe storm and much
damage was done. Catoctin creek in
Frederick county, overlooked its
banks and much fencing was washed
away. In Carroll county, on the line
of the Western Maryland railroad,
several bridges between Westminster
ana Union Bridge are swept away =,
and all railway travel between those
points suspended; besides there are
several washouts, and several days
will be required before travel can be
resumed. On the Hanover branch
railroad one bridge has been thrown
down and a passenger train this
morning narrowly escaped. AS the
last car of the train passed over, the
bridge fell and the ties were support
ed only by the rails. In Washington
county there was submerging of the
different valleys. Near Boonsboro
and Funkstown the crops were con.
siderably damaged by the flow of
water. A man named Geisman was
struck by lightning and killed while
standing in the door of his house.
The house was set on fire and consid-
erabIy damaged.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.
A Card.

week charges the arrest of DIR. B. T.
Keller upon the charge of violating
the Local Option law to the "excess
of zeal that caused the imagination Of
the prosecuting witness to make o.
quart of whisky out of pint" and
inasmGeh as swore out the warrant
against DIR. b. II. Keller, l desire to-
state the facts upon which the charge
WAS made, and then 1 shall leave the
people to draw their own conclusions
in she premises. The facts are as fol-
lows:
On the 18th of July II. 2. Tasker
went to DR.. Keller ana stated that he
was suffering with neuralgia, and
thought he needed stimuant, and
asked the Doctor to give him a pre-.
scription for a pint of whisky. The
prescription was given by DR.. Keller
as requested, with the direction TO-
use it three times day. After OBJ
tanning the whisky Mr.. Tasker took
more than was directed. and went to-
his boarding house in an intoxicated
condition and made some disturb
aHee, which caused the lady of the
house to send for me. as town Bailif
to arrest Mr.. Tasker. When | went
to the house ! was Informed that Mr..
Tasker was drunk and had a quart
bottle of whisky with DIR. Keller's,
name upon it. That is the way in
which the matter became public and
not through "smelling committee"
nor through any excessive zeal Oh
my part.
The charge was made in the utmost
good faith, because Mr.. Tasker's un.
fortunate habits of intemperance are
we'll known to DR.. Keller and he.
must have supposed, indeed, as a
matter of fact, he could not reason
ably have supposed anything else
than that Yasker would get drunk if
he obtained the whisky.

but hold that i've is as much bound to-
obey the law "a anybody else. Ifhis,
hands be clean in this matter no harm
can come 10 him. The law is most
Odious to those who are engaged in
violating it. If any man is high

lam willing to leave it to the Grand
Jury and the Court to determine
whether DR.. Keller acted in good
faith or not. / acted upon my honest
belief and after hearing the testimony
l am satisfied was not mistaken. 1
am further prepared to state that the
people who are complaining about
the treatment Of DR.. Keller are those
who are either engaged in violating
the law or sympathze with the liquor
interests. They know that in the
person of DIR. Keller one of their
