Sunday last was the busiest
day this year in this city. Friday
night the crowd began to come
down. Saturday they swarmed in,
and Sunday it seemed as if Phila-
delphia must have been depopulat-
ed. There were more bathers this
week than there have been this
season. People who come late in
the day are obliged to take misfit
bathing suits. The services at
the Asbury church last Sunday,
were ereconducted by Rev. Hollon, who
is visiting Rev. Moore. Next Sun
day a very popular speaker from
Philadelphia will speak. On
Sunday last the Zion A. M. E.
church was filled to its utmost
capacity. The Literary society
at Zion A. M. E. Chapel this week
could not be surpassed. A grand
church camp meeting will be held
at Zion A. M. e. church on Sum-
day, August 10, and is expected to
| be a grand success. The wealth
er here was intensely hot but the
services at the st. James A. M. E.
church were replete with interest.
The Sunday School held its miss
iOnary and literary exercises, and
several essays were read. Miss G.
Haddon's was the grandest of them
all. A bold robbery was perpe-
trated here in the Post Office on
Thursday evening. An entrance
was made through the boiler room
and the safe bored open. The
booty was a number of stamps
amounting to 81, 900, $50 in money
and several registered letters.

taken back when she was called
from the piazza to receive her

The Glories of a Postmastership.

Having been postmaster myself, I
naturally hover around the general de-
livery yet, and love the flavor Of post
age stamp as well as 7 ever did. The
stolen glance at a postal card addressed
to some one else sends thrill the entire
length of my spine, and to be able to
make change with one hand, jerk a can
ceiling stamp with the other, and at the
same time converse with a glorious be-
ing through the window while drawing
salary, regard as pinnacle of sue
cess to which any American boy may
not be ashamed to perspire.-Bill Nye.

In a Bad Fix.

One hot day recently young man
wearing ight-side whiskers, and long,
crooked nose betook himself to the clas-
sic sands Of the Isle de Comic with the
sole intention of taking a plunge into
the ocean. Having deposited 25 cent
piece with the man who is not satisfied
with the earth, but wants to own the
ocean, he received bathing suit made
of Kentucky jeans. The suit had seen
its best days, and was rapidly becoming
buttonless and very holey.
The long-nosed young man managed
to hold the suit together until he had
buried himself in the surf. Then he
took little dive, SWAN under water a
distance, and when his head reached the
surface once more he found himself sur
rounded by bevy of merlnaids. He
felt something entangling his feet, and
reaching down he discovered that--oh,
horrors!-that the lower part of his suit
had dissolved partnership with the up
per part. He was in pretty fix. Sum
moning friend he commissioned him to
go after another suit of Kentucky jeans.
While waiting the return of the friend
the young man modestly swan out be-
yond the ropes and came near being
drowned.
The friend returned with the new suit
and then began struggle with the
waves that has never before been equal
ed. The young man raised leg in or
der to incase it in the new suit A heavy
wave came along and knocked him over
The spectators Uttered. The girls blush
ed and the action was repeated At last,
after an hour of hard work, with the as
sistance of no less than twelve people,
the young swimmer managed to get into
the new suit. The young man was very
bashful and concluded that he had
enough salt water bathing. Once more
he stood upon the classic sands of the
island inwardly betting himself SO cents
that he would never be caught again in
a suit of Coney Island Kentucky jeans.

wooden Toothpieks.

A toothpick factory, SO says tue Tim
herman, is one OF the hourishing wood
working establishments at Harbor
Springs, and it is one of the largest
factories of the kind in the country
White birch is exclusively used in the
manufacture Of the toothpicks, and
about 100000 Of the handy little
splinters are turned out daily. The
logs are sawed up into bolts each twen-
ty-eight inches in length, then thorough
~ steamed and cut up into veneer The
veneer is cut into long ribbons three
inches in width, and these ribbons, eight
or ten of them at time, are run through
the toothpick machinery, coming out at
the other end, the perfect pieces falling
into one basket, the broken pieces and
refuse falling into another. The picks
are packed into boxes-1, 500 in box
by girls, mostly comedy looking young
squaws, and are then packed into cases
and finally into big boxes, ready for
shipment to all parts of the world.
The white birch toothpicks are very
neat and clean in appearance, sweet to
the taste, and there is wide market for
them. The goods sell at the factory at
$1.9O case of 100000 picks, or 100
small boxes each containing $500, and
the small boxes retail at 5 cents each, OF
300 picks for cent, at which rate al
most everybody can afford to take fresh
toothpick after each meal.

The significance Of these figures we
have given is plain. They mean, unmis-
takably, the condemnation of the demo4
cratic administration and of the theories
maintained by the party majority in con-
gress and the platform of the st. Louis
convention. 1t is the beginning Of the
end of the rule of free trade democracy,
and the forshadowing of the restoration
Of the party of protection and of honesty
and economy in office. Oh no, there is

The Sioux Abioux Inbioux His Mioux.

Now trouble brioux among the Sioux,
because their rights the whites abioux,
the sky is bright with battle hioux, big
Injun, squaw, and young pappioux are
on the warpath by the sioux. They're
filing up with fiery bioux, they swear
their lands they will not
lioux, the Thought of it gives
them the blioux, to yield an inch
they will refoux; they'll kick against the

the worst of stioux; "war to the knife" is
what they chioux, and they'll shake some
one out their shioux before the later au-

vamioux. So it is certain that the Jioux
and whites would better mind their qui-

An exchange says that ''the simplest
pocket rule is the silver that a man can
find within his purse. A quarter-dollar
piece measures nearly an inch, half
dollar about an inch and quarter, and
a dollar one inch and half" The pa
per gives no rule, however, for obtaining
the $1.75, which, perhaps is not so sim
pie as the rest of the recipe. Alexandria

One by one the executive phrases fell

was sounded the other day on the senate

ga public office is a private snap"
Probably, after all, Mr.. Cleveland, by a
species Of heterophemy, had the one ex-

forward movement could be made until the
mine was exploded. Darkness merged into
dawn and dawn into daylight; finally the
mine exploded and the air was filed with fire,
smoke, human beings, artillery and tons of
earth. We felt the ground jar where we were.
As soon as the explosion took place the artil-
lery along the whole line opened fire.
As fast as the troops at the front were sent
in, those in the rear were pushed forward,
till finally We arrived at the front. On
two different occasions we were ordered to pass
over our works and charge those of the enemy
just to the left of the "Crater," but counter

remain where we were. One man of our COM

A Show battle-ground.
Atlanta CONSTITUTIONS

The New York Herald wonders why a battle
so unsatisfactory as Gettysburg should be made
a great show battle of the civil war, and sug-
gests that Vicksburg would answer the purpose
better. This leads US to ask what is the matter
with Atlanta2 We had regular bouquet of
battles here, with a remarkable siege of ~
days. If battle-ground for National show
purposes is wanted, the Government or parties
interested should come down here and restore
some of the old forts and brcastworks.
