At Collins, Reach.

Two dredging or mud machines sent
by the National Dredging Company, the
recent purchasers of the larger part of
the marsh land at Collins Beach, ar
rived there the latter part of last week
to commence the work of banking
against the overaowing tides. The
Wilmington Republican in noting the
Improvement at this place says the
Levy Court of Kent county appropri-
ated $4,000 for the purpose. The Re
dubLicdn ought to know that Duck
Creek is the dividing line between Kent
and New Castle counties, and that the
creek is several miles below the section
where this work is to be completed.
Under the charter of the Cedar Greek
Marsh Company they will erect an
embankment, extending along the bay
shore, the dimensions of which will be
Is feet high, 100 feet wide at the base
and 80 feet wide on the top, thus max
ing a driveway along the shore wide
enough for three teams. The hotel at
the beach will be surrounded by a
horseshoe-shaped embankment one
mile wide between the prOngs.

Taking an Outing.

Dr. f. NJ. Cloak took q trip last
week which he says was one of the
most pleasant of his life. He arose at
four o'clock on Tuesday morning,
walked down to the Landing and with
his two lieuteuants who were awaiting
him-Ben Jacobs and Joe Jess-board-
ed their little yacht and launched at
once upon the silently ebbing waters
of Duck Greek. As their object was
pleasure rather than business, they
were in no greater hurry than the tide
and enjoyed every turn and twist ofits
serpentine course. They had guns and
fishing tackle, including a seine, and
tho fOraging for supplies was not the
least of the pleasures of the trip.
In true piratical style each craft COM
ing in sight was hailed by a shot
across her bow to make her "heaVe
to-" this, however, was more for the
fun it afforded them than for plunder,
as they did not return home loaded
with priceless booty and slaves
Among the birds found were rail,
marsh hen, and willets or beach birds
The latter were very abundant and a
shot from the Doctors gun brought
down, one of his lieutenants said, a
peck of these birds. His men delighted
in fishing rs much as he did in cunning
and would get up in the middle of the
night to drag their seine if their
dreams were disturbed or they hadn't
just the quality of fish desired for
breakfast. They thought the doctor
went to enjoy himself, which meant q
plenty to eat, and with a good supply
of old man MOOre's biscuit, butter and
ice slowed away in the hold, the rest
was provided as above described, and
when his men hadn't anything else 10
do they cooked him q dinner. He
says they prepared him seventeen
dinners one day-more or less. They
anchored of nights in the washout in
the rear of Collins Beach hotel and
spent their evenings pleasantly in fra
ternizing with the crews of the two
mud machines there restoring the
broken banks, and Bratten's boardeFs
at the aboVe-named house. They re.
turned at the end of four days with
their cups running over with pleasure

Fair and Full Competition.

Every effort should be made in
all trades to compete fairly and
continually. Ard while each
manufacturer of goods endeavOrs
to excel his neighbO s, he should
not be satisfied to stop with this.
he ought to strive to make his
products more excellent. With
this view the proprietor of the
MarrOw-BOne made a Phosphate
with new combinations, and call
ed it Especial" and had it tested
on his farms in tenure of J.
Pugh, B. F. Cummins and T. b.
Donovan by the side of Marrow
Bone and Monitor. The effort
was to beat his own Brands.
The result is proved by the fol-
lowing testimonials:

THE action of the Democratic State
Convention last week, aside from its
turbulence, has claimed unusual atten-
ton for our little State in the press at
large, and especially by the leading
dailies Of the great cities. They treat
it asa revolution in party management,
turning down one family of leaders and
putting another on top. The general
and erroneous view is that the Bayard
family has been in complete control of
the State for thirty years and that the
Saulsburys were kept down, whereas
the Bayards, father and son, since be-
fore the war, have been seemingly con-
tent with the Senatorship, leaving the
SaulsbUry's the almost absolute con-
troll Of the State, until four years ago
when Governor Stockley wrested if
from them. Now it reverts to them
again. The Philadelphia Times give.
nearly column of editorial in what if
called the Whirligig in Delaware
Politics" ," and in an issue several day,
later gives the following family histor,
in Delaware politics:
"The political shake-up in DeIawar,
promises to break the exceptional famiI,
power that has divided the Senatoria
hOnors of the State for thirty years

gress will expire the term of Eli Sauls
