objections to Blame.

CHICAGO, Oct. "A Washington
special to the Herald says: Blaine's
American congress, whose surface has APP
peared so tranquil, really started off with
a storm which at one time threatened to
wreck the hopes of its protector. The
trouble was all about Blame being elected
president. On Tuesday when it became
apparent that the secretary of state would
be chosen to preside the Central and
South American delegates went into Sc
cret session and the proposition to make
Blaine president of the congress was de-
nounced as unfair, illegal and unprece-
dented. The point made was that Blaine
was not a member OF the congress and
that he could not preside continuously.
The conference lasted till neal midnight
and on adjournment several delegates de-
clared they would not attend the meeting
OF the congress next day at which Blaine
was to be elected president. The dele
gates from Chill and the Argentine Re-
public kept their word. They attended
neither meeting of the congress nor the
presidents reception and luncheon and
have not as yet Joined the excursion which
the members are making through the
country. Whether they will at any time
participate in the sessions of the congress
with Blaine sitting as president remains
to be seen. Ii is said that Blaine knew
nothing OF this opposition.

Breathing the Germs of Disease

To inhale the germs Of disease with
their daily breath is the fate of denizens
Of malaria scourged localities everywhere
The endemic atmospheric poison may,
however, be reft of its venom and rem
dered innoxious by a defensive use of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This pre-
emlnently safe and effective remedy and
safe guard not only eradicates the disease
the disease when developed, but enables
the system to safely brave its assaults.
Every physical function is confirmed in
or restored to regularity, the cir
culation luickened if sluggish,
and a billions habit, which of itself beeets
a proneness to both intermittent and re-
nittent types of malarial disease, where
extrinsic atmospheric causes exist, pow
eriully counteracted by this inimitable
terrifying and defensive agent. which has,
moreover, none OF the disagreeabie char.
acteristics of a drastic cathartic or an
alkaloid. Fever and ague, dumb ague
and ague cake. and the calentura of the
lsthmus. are conquered by it surely,
pleasantly. Rheumatism, neuralgia,
govt, kidney and bladder troubles, con.
stipation and indigestion yield to it.

WASHINGTON. Oct. AFTER a stormy
career James H. Clark of Tombstone, A.
T., died here to day almost in abject pow
erty. He was a 'forty-niner" in the
gold fever days of California, and in later
years as a mining adventurer he wandered
over many of the Western territories into
Mexico, even penetrating the sub-arctic
regions of British America. During the
civil war he became a cotton speculator.
He lived like a prince and his wealth at
one time was estimated at SIS, 900, 600.
After the war Clark took to mine specu-
lating again and lost the greater part of
his fortune in unlucky speculations and
the rest in prodigal living. Three years
ago he came to Washington to prosecute a
claim against the government for Sl0.-
coo. 600 for cotton seized in Memphis and
sold by officers of the Union army. The
claim had been favorably reported by
both houses of congress, but not contem
poraneously. Clark still preserved a SAN
guIne spirit, though he had almost teen
living on charity while he kept up the
discouraging fight.

The Money Market.

New YORK. Oct. Mooney on the
stock exchange continues stringent and 10
per cent per annum was paid by a ma.
jority Of the borrowers for the use of
money until Monday. Some of the banks
called in loans early and intimated to
their friends that it could not be helped.
The situation was aggravated later by the
announcement of the withdrawal of
$500. 900 more gold by August Belmont
x Co, making 81, SOC, 900 taken By them
this week Tor shipment to Europe. This
export move caused considerable surprise.
The rates of sterling exchange are far be-
low the gold shipping point. but Belmont
x Co.. explain it by stating that the gold
was shipped to the Rothschilds to assist
in fulfilling a contract made with the Bra
lillian government.
In addition to the Belmont shipment
commercia.. houses nave shipped $500, OO0
in gold to Rio and other South American
points. The combined influences caused
general fears of a money panic and the
calling of loans in many cases forced hold
ers TO throw over stocks. In consequence,
prices declined rapidly, sugar trust falling
from 9ls to S3t, cotton seed from 454 to
404 and Atchison to 29s. the lowest price
ever touched, A better feeling with some
reaction followed.

Chinese Husbandry.

A writer comments in terms of
warm praise on the careful, economi-
cal plan on which the Chinese conduct
their husbandry. The orchards of
mulberry trees are marvels of neat
ness and precise arrangement, every
foot of space being occupied by trees
overhead and vegetables below, each
disposed to make the most of soil, sun
and air, without wasting the precious
space. The farm houses too, are de
scribed as models of comfort, substan-
tial buildings, neatly ornamented and
cOntaing many evidences of the cul-
tured tastes of this truly peculiar ma
ton. Even the poor peoples quarters
are clean aud orderly, there being
none of the squalOr aud wretchedness
found in many European countries.
This condition of affairs existed
throughout territory covering hun
dreds of square miles of country.
The establishment by American and
English firms, at Shanghai and other
points, of extensive silk winding facto-
ries, with steam-driven machinery, has
lent a wonderful impulse to one of the
most important of China's industries.
| and the result is apparent in the com
fort and absence of all want or penury
prevailing in the neighbOrhOOd. Even
in prosperity, however, John is willy
and the wealthiest citizens appear in
public in their oldest garments. in
order that the cupidity of the ubiqui-
tOus mandarin may not be excited by
any display of wealth.

Our National Guards.

AS the Wilmington soldier boys
came trooping up Market street to the
gentle strains of Home, Sweet Home"
it was easy to imaging that they were
just reaching camp after a long and
wearisome march, or that they were
just returning after some severe and
gallant sortie against a living enemy.
Except that there were no wounded
and no broken muskets the picture
thus furnished by the imagination was
complete. But in their loose but or
derly formation, and their soldier-like
appearance, even after the fatigue of
three days marching and pleasuring
in New York, there did exist a power
which remains constantly at the public
service whenever there is need for it to
be exercised.
The veteran General Sherman, who
is not accustomed to say smooth things
when severe criticism is needed, has
testified the good military quality of
the state troops that marched in re-
view before the Presidents stand on
Tuesday. ut is idle" he says, "to
criticise the individual or collective
appearance of the volunteers this old
phrase slips from his lips quite uncon-
sciously to contrast the cOlOrs of their
clothing or their trimmings. The ma
terial was there, and the 10000 young
men in uniform could be drilled into
shape in short order if the Opportuni-
ty for practice were afforded them.
This is the substantial point, looked at
from the point of view of the general
welfare that the material is there"
The material has also been worked
in a good degree into serviceable shape
The National Guard of Delaware, for
example, is well organized; the men
and officers are familiar with military
methods: and it would only require a
very little experience in actual service
to turn them into capable and trust
worthy soldiers. If, for example,
New York should be attacked by a for
eign enemy, it would be as easy to
concentrate a strong body of state
troops at or near that city for the real
defence of the country as it was to
concentrate them there last week for a
peaceful celebration.
These points in regard to the utility
of our militia system should be con-
stantly kept in mind. This system is
not for picnic purposes. 1t is a serious
sensible and prudent provision for con-
tingencies and dangers to which even
this peaceful country is open. It is a
necessary and useful institution, and
as such should be sustained and
strengthened.-MOrning Ne'Os.

Harrison Don't Drink 1t.

One of the most interesting parts of
the long line of gorgeous floats was
devoted to the wine Industries of the
new land. Men on splendid prancing
horses came along before a float on
which sat Bacchus of the American
type.
Grouped about the cask were girls
dressed in costumes of gorgeous cOlOrs.
They wore wreaths of flowers upon
their heads, and when the floats stop
ped before President Harrison's stand
they all directed toward him a glance
Of inquiry. A young man with a
flowing mantle and glittering tights
took a bottle as long as his arm from
the pyramid before the girls and hold
ing in one hand a goblet covered with
gold and lace work, he poured forth a
draught of pure American wine. 1t
was of rich red color and the goblet
was full to the brim. A splendidly
attired page on a rather restless horse
took the glass from the hand of the
man who poured it out, and guiding
his horse to the Presidents stand held
up the cup for the President to taste
Everybody was on tip toe. From
! the Worth monument stand opera
glasses were pointed at General Har.
rison, and several enterprising young
men with push-the-button cameras were
preparing to take a shot at the Presi-
dent of the United States at the mo-
ment when he should lift the wine
glass to his lips. But he disappointed
them. He did not even take the glass
from the page on the prancing horse
but bowed profoundly and murmured
something which sounded like mo, ]
thank you"
The Presidents act in stopping the
man before he had reached where ht
stood called out a round of applause
from the thousands of people who wit
messed the singular act.

Scott's Great Truck Farm.

In spite of the many heavy rain
storms in the lower part of the PENN
sula the present season, farmers who
planted fall and winter crops are sue
ceeding we'll. Captain Orris A.
Browne, who has charge of Hon. Will
liam l.. Scctt's Hollywood Place, near
Cape Charles, the largest truck farm
in Virginia, has just finished deliver
ing in northern markets his winter and
spring crops of kale and spinach, ag-
gregating 46,7S5 barrels. The early
crop of cabbage on the same farm,
which will be ready for market in two
weeks, will probably exceed 10000
barrels. Crops of peas, strawberries,
Irish potatoes, egg plants, tomatoes,
onions, &C., will follow, which with
the crops of corn, and oats to be raised
for consumption on the place, will
make, it is thought, the largest amount
of produce ever gathered in one year
from one farm in this State. A large
guano factory has just been establish
ed on the place, and arrangements
have been completed for erecting q
large canning establishment to put W
the fruits and vegetables from the
farm and the excellent oysters that
abound in the adjacent waters.
