The Union Excursion

Notwithstanding the unpropitious as
pect of the weather early yesterday
morning, the clouds soon blew over and
no more bright or beautiful day could
have been desired for the Union M. e.
Sunday School excursion. The steamer
Clyde left Fourth street wharf at
Z. 90 O'Clock with between 900 and zoo
people aboard, and in the face Of 8
strong but very pleasant breeze reached
Andalusia wharf about IL 15 o'clock
The grove could not have been In better
condition, and the excursionists enjoyed
themselves to their hearts content unit
o'clock p. m, when a movement wal
made for the Clyde which moved off or
her homeward trip twenty minutes
later. The excursionists landed a.
Fourth street wharf few minutes aftel
s o'clock, all pleased with the varied
pleasures of the day.
What added much to the pleasure o.
the day WINS the grand music of Alberto
brass band. The members looked neal
In their new, trim summer uniform
made more for utility than show. There
was no end to their music, in fact the
mem bers seemed TO take delight In
playing, and kept it up continuously
during the marches to and from the
boat at both ends of the route. They art
polite and extremely we'll behaved gen.
tlemen, and will be well received by al
who employ them.

WILMINGTON, Del, June 9TH, 1885,
take this means of expressing my
thanks to those who supported me in
the late election. The number, though
apparently small, were brave enough to
stand up and be counted. We have no
cause to be discouraged; only being
organized ten weeks prior to the elcc-
tion we were unefticiently prepared in
some districts, there being no tickets at
the polls. Then again, it was q social
disarrangement that an unknown iron
roller should compete with two gentle
men OF highest Iepute and character.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular oorrsspondent.

From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, June s, 1886.-The
Presidents marriage, which has COCA.
stoned so much gossip In social circles
throughout the country, has mot even
rippled the surface of political life in
Washington. On the very wedding
day the House of Representatives dis
cussed the proaic subiect of ..oleomarga--
rine. Both bodies of Congress have
worked every day this week, and some
times at night, but little of Importance
has been accomplished. -.
Since the President and his wife have
sought higher altitude IN which 10
enjoy their honeymoon the White House
looks deserted. On the day after the
wedding the number of visitors WAS
| large, but now public interest has fol.
lowed this President to Deer Park, and
the Rev. Mr.. Cleveland and the Presi
dents sisters, who still remain at the
White House, have been almost entirely
unmolested by visitors.
Secretary Manning's letter Of resig-
nation to the President is a statesman
like document 1t is remarkably strong
and terse, ard laden with wisdom, te
which the stupid and ignorant Demo
cratic leaders in Congress will be com
PEELED, sooner or later, to give heed.
Mr.. Manning, it is said, is very
averse to giving up the post, which
until his sickness, he filled 30 well. Ht
hoped during his convalescence that ht
might ultimately recover and be able
to re-assume his duties. But he over
exerted himself at the Presidents wed
ding, and seeing how weak he was, h'
finally decided that his retirement wa
necessary.
l Although the President finds Dee
Park q charming resort, he will return
to Washington in q few days, and 1t i
then expected that he will give the pub
lie an opportunity to see and greet hi
bride at the White House.
The President and his wife will no
stay long in Washington upon their re
Turn from Deer Park, but he will tax
a long vacation, spending o portion q
1t among the principal resorts Of tn
White Mou ntains. On their way hom
they will visit some of tho seaside re
sorts ON the Massachusetts coast Th
selection of Deer Park as q place
spend the honeymoon ID, 1t Is said, du
to Mrs Cleveland, in compliance with
promise made to friend while abroad

Last night about 10 o'clock as Special
Officer Hennis was making his usual
round he saw K T. Thomas, who lives
at Fourth aud Un ion, lying down at
Warmers wharf smoking cigar, when
he was advised to 60 home. He did not
take this friendly advice, but remained
where he was. About 8 o'clock this
morning the officer heard splash in
the water and shortly afterwards another
as though some one was struggling in
the water. Upon going to the edge OF
the wharf he found that Thomas had
fallen overheard, and begged Officer
aennis to not let him drown. By this
time he had caught hold of float and
the officer told him to not let go. He
then got Bridgetender Morrison TO as
sist him, and together they dragged
Thomas out of the water. He said that
he had been working hard in the garden
during the day, and in taking a little
stimulant he had taken rather more
than was healthy for him. Had
1t not been for Officer Hennis
who lets nothing escape his Wig gilant
eyes, Thomas would no doubt have
passed in his checks and been food for
the fishes.

Excitement al the Capital.

South American Mountains, supposed to be
good for nothing but fodder. Some of the
old women were using 1t as ours do catnip
tea. 1t had such remarkable effect on
some of the company that large bale was
brought to the United States. some Of our
ablest physicians say 1t is a most remarkable
nerve food. Tests prove it will recover any.
thing caused by nervous exhaustion and
overwork or excesses, though IL has not a
particle of medicinal value. 1t stops the
liquor habit and makes the old drlnker feel
better at ONE, leaving no stim mulation, re
action or craving for more. 1t acts on the
nerves like beefsteak on hungry stomach
Large Quantities have been shipped to the
United States, the extract takeu, favored
mixed with soda and sugar, and put on sale
in some Of the Eastern cities. 1t has jus
been put In the Senate and House X hes

Capital by storm. 1t is creating an intens,
excitement all over the country. Lowell
