Loss at the Breakwater.
NEARLY HALF A MILLION SURELY GONE
AND A MILLION PROBABLY
SACRIFICED

The loss to the marine underwriters
by the disaster to the shipping at the
Delaware capes will amount to nearly
a millions of dollars, as it is believed
that nearly all of the vessels driven
ashore are so badly strained that thev
will have to be condemned. The loss
of the ship w. r. Grace, from Havre
for Philadelphia, will of itself amount
to $l50,0O0, as there is no further hope
of saving the vessel. She is now being
stripped. The hull and materials will
be sold on the beach.
The barks Thomas Kellar, for Havre
and the II Salvatore, for Gibraltar. and
the brig Richard Green, from Havti.
are still high up on the beach and NAV
be saved, but in badly used-up condi-
tlon. The cargoes are now being dis
charged on the beach. The schooners
Gertrude Summer and J. F. Becker are
high and dry on the beach, but NAV be
saved with much expense and trouble.
The schoOners Eunity r. Dyer, Alena
Covert, J. d. Robinson, s. A. Rudolph.
Major w. H. Tantum, Maud Seward
Addie Bacon and Norena are ali
stranded and the chances of saving
them are very slim. The schooner
Nina A. Reed and the barge Timour
have both been condemned and will be
of no further use.
The loss upon these vessels alone
will be nearly 100000. The loss in
detail upon each vessel is as follows:

WE are now at the season for the
usual development of febrile diseases,
but there is nothing noticeable in this
particular, as was frequently predicted
IN the time Of heavy rains during the
summer The microbes or whatever
may be the form of the germs of disease
are in such cases washed in the ground
whereas, in dry seasons they are
subject to the full force Of the sun and
air. The Fall season is never without
partial crop Of zymotic diseases, and
this will hardly prove an exception.
Complaints are coming quite freely
however, from those sections where
there have been light rainfalls this sum-
mer. The papers report that typhoid
fever prevails in Boston to an alarming
extent, 400 cases having been recorded
since July. In many counties Of Ohio.
Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia
the same disease is epidemic, while in

DELAWARE is not alone in its fac.
tional contention over the "spoils'
caused by those who have the dispens.
ing of them. In Berks county, Pa, a
Mr.. High, who was given or assumed
the right to dictate the Federal pa
tronage, so managed, as can be easily
done by a man deficient in political
sagacity, to put his party at logger
heads and divide it, as was the case
Saturday, into two warning factions.
Thus, it is often the case that a man
otherwise strong and capable, is an
element to organize weakness instead
Of strength. He uses his ammunition
to wound and disqualify those he needs
most in the conflict.

GEN. RUsK, Secretary of Agriculture,
is engaged in very creditable work in
making, as it is said he intends, a per-
sODal inspection of the sorghum sugar
culture at Fort Scott, Kansas, where
100000 pounds of sugar have been
made from that cane sat a profit" The
Government has sort of proprietary
as well as paternal interest in the Fort
Scott Sorghum Sugar Works. as it has
also an experiment sugar station at
Rio Grande, near Cape May, New
Jersey, the object being, as General
Rusk puts it, to ascertain "the cheapest
way of making that sugar." and he
might have said any cane sugar.

Ex-SECRETARY BAYARD however
much he may seek seclusion, is being
kept to the front. In late interview
Mr.. Bayard tersely expressed views
upon the future policy Of the National
Democracy in accord with his past
record. Among other things he said ::
1.-The tariff question is a grave one,
and should be fully discussed. The
Democracy, think, will again advo-
cate Tariff Reform. Had Mr.. Cleve-
land taken my advice he would de-
clared in favor Of the reform two years
before he did. Of course, it will take
time to settle this issue. I think taxa
tion for protection is commission.

THE two writers who color their
political contributions to a Sunday
paper of our metropolis as per the
respective glasses" they see through,
take no pains to get a clear or even
intelligent grip on their subject, if we
may judge by the reference to the
pOstmastership of this town and the
antecedents in relation thereto, which
is the merest stuff and twaddle. These
writers deal in high cOlorings and only
need a man in buckram to reproduce a
hero of many battles.

TN the Legislature Of Massachusetts, bill
Is now pending whose object n 70 prohibit,
under penalty Of fine and imprisonment, tho
practice OF medicine surgery OF midwifery"

The attempt TO pass such bill has been rnade
before, but IL failed. 1t is measure which
ought not TO pass, because IL invadcs the per-
sonal liberty OF the citizen: not the personal
liberty OF the Irregular physician only, but
OF the patient.
before the Massachusetts, Medico-Legal So
c1ety, an organization OF regular physicians,
complained OF the ignorance OF his profess
sional brethren as shown In tho notorious
Robinson poisoning cases.
+" This crime said the doctor 'one OF the
greatest In our medical history, would never
have been discovered but for tho suspicious
aroused outside the profession And he
called attention 10 the fact that in five of the
poisoning cnsc- tho regular physician certified
the cause OF death TO be pneumonia, typhoid
fever, meningitis, bowel disease and B1ghts
disease respectively
This shows how far the regular physi-
clans are from being infallible.
1T would seem 20 be more in accordance
with justice and common sense were they TO
perfect their own knowledge before they up
peal to law to prohibit others from healing.
Not long ago Globe reporter called upon
ten regular physicians on the same day
and described his symptoms i'm exnctly the
informed him that he was suffering from ten
different diseases and gave him ten different
prescriptions, each utterly inconsistent with
the others.

A Faterul Ring.

A curious story is related from Mad.
rid in explanation of the misfortunes
which have lately afflicted the ROYAL
house of Spain. IL appears that the
root of the mischief is q fatal ring of
quite medieval deadliness. The late
King Alfonso XII. gave il TO his cousin,
Mercedes. when he was betrothed to
her, and she wore il during the whole
OF her short married life. On her death
the King presented il to his grand
mother, the Queen Christina. She
died very soon after, when it passed to
the Kings sister, the Infanta del Pillar.
who at once began to sicken, and in a
few days breathed her last. Alphonso
then handed it to his sister-in-law.
Christina, the youngest daughter of the
Duke OF Montpensier, but in three
months she was also dead. His Majesty
now resolved to retain the baleful Jewel
in his own keeping, but he, too, soon
fell victim TO its mysterious malig-
nancy. BY order of his widow it has
now been suspended by chain around
the neck of the statue of the Maid of
Almudena. the patron saint of Madrid.
Four Russian officers have made a WA.
ger that they can ride on horseback from
st. Petersburg TO Paris In as DAYS. Tbev

tells OF an interesting experience he
had in Pittsburgh He was approach.
eh by besotted tramp, who looked
earnestly at him and inquired: as your
name Crane?"
at is, SIR" said Mr.. Crane.
Are you William III. Crane, the CO.
median ?" asked the tramp, cautiously.
ayes, sir"
Mr.. Crane" said the tramp, in re-
assured tones, give me fifteen centsl"
Fifteen cents?" echoed Mr.. Crane.
Why, what do you want with fifteen
cents?"
Il want to buy n drink" said the
tramp.
"Ah, my friend" said Mr.. Crane, in
reproachful tone, IL fear you are de-
ceiving me. j have already met about
twenty of your kind of people to-daf-
and each of them has asked me for fiy
teen cents to buy bread with. Now
what assurance have that if / give YOU
fifteen cents you won't spend it for
something TO eat?"
The tramp drew himself up ns
proudly as he could and said: II pledge
you my word and honor as a gentle
man that L shall spend the money for
liquor"
ooh, that's an entirely different
thing" said Mr.. Crane, Smelling ont a
quarter. 1 think / can trust YOU

This incident reminds MS of story
that is told of Mr.. Moody, the revival
list. In his younger days he did mis-
sionary work in Chicago, invading sa-
looms and distributing tracts in divers
places. One Sunday morning. while
no was distributing temperance tracts.
he entered Buck e. Rayner's drug store.
At the back of the store sat an elderly
and distinguished citizen reading a
morning paper. Mr.. Moody approach
ed this gentleman and threw one of the
temperance tracts upon the paper be-
fore him. The old gentleman glanced
at the tract and then, looking up be-
nlgnantly at Moody, said Are Won a
reformed drunkard?"
No, sir, / am mott" cried Moody.
drawing back Indignantly.
Then why in thunder don't you re-
form ?" quietly asked the old gentleman.
