How the World Moves

1t 10 still within the recollection OF
many elderly peopie-and not TO say
very old, elther-that to start on jour
ney to HArper's Ferry was taking a
trip out West with the expectation Of
being gone about two weeks, with but
short tune for remaining there. Only
fifty years ago the journey was made
by horses. pack mules and by stage
1 coaches. But now what q transforms

vided for railroad excursion on Thurs.
day, the 20 instant, TO run the whole
distan os-l65 miles and back--in Que
day, and still have some seven hours
left In which to view the romantic
scenery of the place, wonder how the
Potomac ever 0ursted through the
noun tain ridges, look at old John
Browns round house-fort, and take in
The general bearings Of the positions
from which two hostile armies fought
artillery dusls across the river twenty
four years ago Such progress is indeed
surprising Nor are we left to choose
a single line OF railway to make this
wonderful excursion. Two first lass
trunk lines have banished the old lam
beting stage coach out OF sight, aud the
new b. & P. road presents us bill Of
only 81 30 for eide OF $50 miles, as
compared with about $50 in old stage
times. Steam has done wonders, and
human ingenuity has done more. As

THREE YEARS AGO seventy-fiye peo-
Pile were drowned a. riverside resort
near Baltimore by the breaking Of q
rotten wharf, which was crowded with
e1cursionists anxious to reach the boat.
This accident came near being dupli-
Gated last Snnday a: R3cksway Beach,
where fcr;y or hf.y persons were pre-.
cipitated into the water, but fortunately
oil were saved. Both accidents were
caused by rotten tim GERS Il the whsrves,
aud suggests the p7opriety OF having all
landings and wharyes thoroughly in
spected every year before the COM
msncement Of the boating and exeur-
sion season. A wharf may have a very
strong appearance upon the surface,
while the sills may have entirely rotted
away. No risks should be run in this
mater.

The Goyernorship.

Why Is 1t that there is such an ami
mated contest In the Democratic party
this year over the nomination OF a can
didate for Governor, while the nomina-
ton for candidate for Congress is
scarcely csnvassed? The salary OF the
Governor is only $1,000 a year, while
that OF Congressman il S.. 900. Simply
because Governor has more Doodle in
the way of appointments to distribute
70 the faithful than Congressman has.
he has q Clerk OF the Peace, a Pro-
thonotary, Recorder OF Deeds, a Reg
lister OF Wills and Clerk OF the Or
phans' Court to appoint in each county.
besides Secretary OF State, a. S lperln
tendent OF Free Schools, all ustices OF
the Peace, with many other petty Off ces
ut his command. The Governors OF the
great States OF Pennsylvania aud New
York have not half the patronage to dis.
tribute that the Governor of Delaware
has. 1t is not surprising that with So ch
vast patronage combinations ana rings
should be formed for mutual benefit.
A formidable ring is what il troubling
the Democratic party now.

pointments to ofice that tnote who have

TO JOIN THE ANGELS.

1t is with feelings of profound regret that
we have to announce the sudden death of
Mrs. Hewitt, wife of Rev. j. ID. Hewitt,
pastor Of the Presbyterian church, which
occurred at her residence, No. 240 North
Topeka avenue, about o'clock yesterday
morning.
Mrs. Hewitt has not been in robust health
for several months, and had been troubled
with asthma for long time. She was a
jealous Christian, and was constant at
tendant a. the reyivals held lately at the
rink, taking an active part
in the singing and exerting
herself far beyond the measure of her
strength in the crowded hall, and many of
those who associated with her there, at
tribute her SUDDEN demise to her overwork
during these meetings. She was compelled
to take to her bed about week ago ard
has since suffered very seriously, but not
until day before yesterday was her condition
considered critical. Tuesday evening of the
day her condition became alarming and at
times she WAS unconscious, and finally about
4 o'clock yesterday morning the angel of
death stepped In to alleviate her sufierings
and watt her soul to the mansions above to
NEE, that Saviour who she loved snd served
go well.
We have been informed that the funeral
will take place on Friday.
The soul too soft its ills to bear,
Has left our mortal hemisphere,
And sought. in better world, the need
To blameless lie BY heaven decreed.

in the right direstion and the names Of TIL
