ceive numbers of audibly expressed and
unnumbered silent blessings for the
happo thought of putting u free Ice water

clothing store. Passing by one day, a
representative Of the REPUBLICAN, asked
Mr.. II. G Ward, one of the gentlemanly
managers OF the store, how many persons
he thought stopped to slske their thirst at
the fountain day on average?
Mr.. Ward paused a moment, and turn

would be safe in estimating the number

a perfect stream stops and drinks at that
fountain all day."
GLOW much does it cost you a day.
inquired the newspaper man OF MIR.
Ward.
"oh, not much, said Mr.. Ward, some
days probably a dollar and Other days
less than half o dollar. The average
cost would probably not be more Than GU

Correspondence of the REPUBLICAN,.
BETHEL, Jule 2S.-This town aud
county are full OF colored people of all
sizes and ages, who have come up the
Broad river and landed here in their
vessels to pick blackberries. The berry
crop Is ABUNDANT and a few crates have
been picked. By Monday next the sea-
son will be opened in earnest, and 1t is
hoped that they will pay the raisers well.
The strawberry c,op was y failure, and II
the backberries d5 hot bfing u 10. ge IL
come the cou ty will be almost bankrupt.
The writer was at Dover last week and
saw several peach growers from different
parts of the Peninsula, and some said
they would have none while others said
they would have few, and the conclusion
reached was that there would not be
over one-tenth of crop In Kent and
New Castle counties, Delaware, and the
upper part of the Peninsula IN Maryland.
The trees are small here, but there Will
be at least one-hali a crop. l have been
encouraging our blackberry growers.
telling them that peaches will be high In
price. When peaches fail b,a kberries
bring higher prices.
| noticed about 100 persons picking
peas at MIR. Kinney's yesterday. TIC said
he wou. d have about 900 bushels, rom
fifty to seventy-hve bushels to the acre.
lie sells them to the Gamers at Seaiord,
getting iiom SO t. 70 cents per bushel,
giving l5 cents ior picking. The canners
pay 10 cents per gal on for sheiling them.
One of the Gamers has shelter that does
the work well and saves labor. he
or. ps look remarkably well here, especi-
ally corn and vegetables. Early peaches
will be sent to market the last OF next

The Assessment Laws.

Even Democratic are forced to admit
that the present assessment laws have
run their length and done their worst,
since the arguments OF Messrs. Bradford
and Higgins were made before the Court
OF Errors aud Appeals at Dover last week.
One leading Democrat told representa-
tive of the REPUBLICAN, within day or
two past that he never had any doubt OF
the uncoDstitutionallty Of the assessment
laws from the time they were enacted.
and he frankly told the Democratic lead
ers go.
"Why," SAYS he, sit Ia monetrous
assumption of authority for Legislature
to say that mans name shall be stricken
from the assessment even for one year,
30 that he has no chance to qualify to
vote. And If Legislature has the right
to strike mans name from the assess
mcnt lists for one year, what Is to hinder
1t from striking the name of for two,
three or dozen of yesrt7"
The constitution, said this gentleman,
neither acknowledges NOR gives such ar
bitrary power to q legislature. He be-
lieved the Court OF Errors aud Appeals OF
Delaware, would decide the law uncon-
st'tutional, and save the trouble, time
and expense of an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, where 1t would be
sure to be decided unconstitutional. II
is not expected that the Court of Errori
and Appeals, will render decision In tht
case before the January term OF court
II the decision then be against the pre-
sent assessment laws, tE % law % 1t wai
prior to April 10, 1878. will come int,
force again and there win be no NOR,
disiranchiting Of volers tor one 81,
two yeare as has cen the case sin
then. Should the court decide other
wise, an appeal 70 tie Qplted States su
premc Court will 6e JsGdered necessary
Gpd y may require conBittrable OF tim
to bring the case fQrwaId on the docket
| The decision, however. either mex
spring or the succeeding spring will hav
no effect upon the ectlon OF 1890, as tn
present assessment will govern that.
The Republicans have TO congratulat
themselves that the outlook is go favor
able, and IN these congratulations the
should not forget the debt of gratitud
they owe to Senator Higgins aud Edwar'
q. Bradford, Esq. Senator Higgins
even away back long before he had an.
idea of ever becoming United State
Senator, never ceased 10 pound and ham
mer at the Infamous assessment laws @
Delaware. When aim pst everybody els
gave them up and were about ready
: lie down and hug the chains G

who was then plain TONY" Higgins
4 never lost hope and only worked th
harder 10 arouse the people from thei
, political lethargy aud make bold strik

his cause 1t went before the Court {
b Errors and Appeals. backed with .ega
4 ability that could not be matched by th
opposition. The fruits OF Their labol
!, are now within reach. 1t is only que
I ton OF time when the political shacke
must fall from the limbs of the Republ
b can party of Delaware. 1t is sincere
u hoped that the judiciary OF Delaware wi

BALTIMORE, Md, June 80. - Ever

has reirained from talking about himself
or the fight until to- day, when, sitting at
Halstead's, one of his newspaper friends
said "Well, Jake what do you think OF

and quietly remarked: "YOu can tell my

A,nsrlca,s rnstest Railway Train.

Philadelphia Times. III
The "two-hour train" which leaves
the Reading Railroad station at Ninth
and Green for New Y prk at 7.30 am. Is
the fastest scheduled railway train in the
United States. In addition to this dis
tinction it has made d record for preci-
sion and regularity Of movement which
high authorities declare to be without
precedent in the history of railroads.
From January to June this train
made 1870 trlps-thatis, trip every day
except Sunday-and In the ,,o s-o ,aynss- ~ w
i It reached It's destination behind time Oh
only nine occasions and In these in
stances the maximum variation from the
time table was but a few minutes. On
the remaining l2l trips II arr we'd on
schedule time to the second. averaging 94
per cent of absolute p-omptness. This
| unparalleled showing demonstrates that
the Reading Railroad not oniy possesses
magnificent aud tompletely-equipped
| line between Philadelphia and New York,
but also that it is managed with rare
ability and with CLOSE regard TO the re-
ouirrments of the travelling public.
