An Ocean Race.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16-The Herald SAYS:
while there was not the enthusiasm that used
to mark the races between Mississippi steam
boats, in which furniture was thrown in the fur
mace to increase steam, there was nevertheless,
airace last week between the ocean steamships
Etruria and Alaska. The Etruria arrived off
Sandy Hook yesterday morning at seven min
utes to 4, making the trip in six days. nineteen
hours and thirteen minutes The Alaska ar
rived twelve hours later. None of the passen-
gers knew that the Alaska was so closely in their
wake or some excitement might have been oc-
casioned. Senator Mahones family were among
the passengers on the first named vessel

THE impression of the office-seekers that
the Presidents order barring them out of the
White House was only to be in effect tenn
porarily and to give him time to write his
message, is rudely dispelled by intimations
that new injunction will issue against them
on the LIST of December. The next order it
is said, will be more stringent than the first
as to office-seekers, but will be more liberal as

THE Journal expects to give an accurate and

it may be we'll to say that no special attention
will be given to the fit and make" of dress

ing advantage of the generous offer of leading
clothier to rent them ''swallow-tail coats and
vests" may do SO without hesitation. It will be

IT is now thought that the reason the Pres

FROM reliable letters and conversa-
ton with men who travel over, and
men who are located at various points
in the.peach belt Of this peninsula, we
CLEAN the facts of the prospective
amount Of the peach crop of this year.
In New Castle county the crop will
not he over one-fourth of the average.
Kent county will contribute about
one-half Of the average crop, and If
the upper part Of the county only had
as many peaches as the southern part,
the crop would be large one; but In
Jones, Neck and near Smyrna, the
orchards are very lightly frnited. In
Sussex county the trees are well set
with fine sized peaches; except a
small section near the bay-shOre.
where the crop is about three-quarters
of full one. Over in Maryland, the
large orchards in Cecil and Kent
counties are well fruited, and the crop
promises to be a large one. In Dor
chester county the trees are very full,
but the orchards are not large. The
prices Of green fruit will probably pre-
vent much being used by evapOrators
or small Gamers in the upper part of
Kent county, but the evaporatOrs in
Sussex county will probably run to
their capacity.

THE cay is no. far distant when
farmers will insist upon the owners of
steam threshers employing Licensed
engineers, or at least skilled labor.
Not one out of fifty men running en-
gihes of this class know anything
more about an engine than how to
start or stop it. There are too many
lives joepardized on threshing yards
to risk boiler with an incompetent
man or boy.
