1t IS source of much qualification 10 the
vespl. of this Immediate vicinity 10 learn that
this resort is to be opened this summer, and
that the reereatios aud amusement which has
heretofore been afforded them at that place Will
be continued. Mr. -- Gray, the new
lessee has been bIsily engaged during the past
week in prep, ring the resort fer the accom- mo-
dation and enjoyment OF guests, and we learn
that he proposes to introduce many aew features
to relieve the ennui aud irkSomeueSs OF a long
summer day TO those no patronize him. II IS
reported that the rev proprietor has had con-
siderable experisncs in summer resort ana
hotei management, he having managed hotel
at Atlantic City and also in Washington, and
that he will bring the fruits OF this experience
10 Chapel Point and make it in every respect
Grst-class resort for summer visitors We have
ALWAYS thought that with proper management
and liberal outlay of msae., coupled with
the natural beauty OF the situation and adj
vantages AT Chapel Point, it could be made Que
of the most popular resorts on the river, and if
all the uasrs about the new proprietor be
true, he will jevelope those resources and prove
the correctness Of our opinion. We wish the
new maaa cement abundant succeSs aad can
safely promise him liberal support from our
people. We learn that he has secured fast
steamer from Philadelphia, called the ''Sylvss-
ter to run excursions from " ashingtoa and
that the first trip will be made TO morrow to
bring party of invited guests to the Point.

Peaches and the June Fail.

The Delaware peach growers estimate the

from 1000 o0e to 1850, 900 baskets. The
''Juue fali'' has been very heavy in sections Of
Delaware, and has not entirely subsidized yet,
owing to the continued wet weather. The
fruit, it i; said, becomes water sobhed, decays
aud falls off The early end late varieties are
reported the most abundant throughout the
State The crop On the Maryland side Of The
Peninsula will equal, il not exceed, that Of the
Delaware side Tne June f.ll'' in Mary land
is not reported heavy, asd The fruit, wherever
the tees have produced, is in fourshing
condition. One of the phenomena Of the peach
crop in Mary land as well as in Delaware is that
orchards in the So me neig hborhood and grown
in the same character Of soil differ so widely in

Real Estate Liable for Personally Taxes

The question as 10 the enforcement of the
payment of taxes upon personal property is be-
ing agitatsd in the tax department at the City
Hall. Judge Dailam, chief Judge of the APP
peal Tax Court advises that where person
who owns real estate and refuses to pay per-
sonal taxes, proceeding should tie instituted
against the real estate uEder section IL, chap
ter 1888 Laws of Maryland, 1874, which says !:
"All State and county or municipal taxes shall
BE- liens ca the real estate of the party Indebted
from the time the same are levied. Judge
Dallam SAYS this law has never been repealed
or changed, and that the city collector under
it, provisions could at once levy on real estate
for personal tax where taxpayer owns any
real estate instead of hunting up personal
property, such as pianos or household ELECTS,
which can be removed ana placed where they
are hard to nd-BlH0 San.

The Weather.

The pleasant, not to sag cool, weather
which has prevailed in this latitude during the
present month of June has led the Baltimore
Sun to compile table showing The maAimuT

of past years The resnlt OF the investigation
shows that while June COR some years past bias
been generally pleasant and cool, yet the tenn
perature that has marked the present month
has not been Sc low since 1873. In that year
the June weather was evea cooler than now,
the temperature reaching as low as 81 degrees,
the h;c hest marked being s., v bile during the
present month ths lowest temperature 20 far

appears to lie in the supposition that
they are not distinct race at all. that
Is. not q homogeneous group formed by
the gradual modification Of one OF the
primitive stocks, but rather cross DO.

these stocks. According to this view.
Australia was originally peopled with

Some imaginative and wonderfully
learned German scholars tell us that
every snowflake is inhabited by happy
little beings, who begin their existence,
hold their rcvels, live long lives OF hap
piness and delight, die and are buried,
all during the descent of the snowflake
from the world Of clouds to the solid
land. These scholars also tell us that
every square foot Of air possesses from
twelve to fifteen million OF more or
less perfect little beings, and that at
every ordinary breath we destroy o
million, more or less, OF these happy
lives. The sigh of healthy lover Is
supposed to swallow up about fourteen
million. They insist that the dust
which will. as oil know. accumulate in
the most secure and secret places, Is
merely the remains OF millions and
billions of these little beings who have
died Of old age. All this, OF course, is
gucss.work. But do know that the
snow in some parts Of the world is
