comrade, when any members of the regi-

The use of the chairs used at dinner

Colonel Joseph W. Hawley commanded
the 12ith Regiment in the battle of
Antietam ana during that engagement
was shot in the neck. The ball finally

General Lee during his second invasion

and of light colored hats generally, in
New York, and the citizen of or sojourner
in that metropolis who ventures to ap-
pear in public after September 10Th with
head covering lighter ia hue than brown

hardy and devoid Of the first principles

whether the sans date shall also be &C.

The Delaware Hreau,yarer.

A mile of coast lined with beaohed and
wrecked vessels testifies with far more
force than all the words that could be
uttered or written to the deplorabie fact
that, in the furious storm which has
barely yet died away, the Delaware
Breakwater has proved far more lure to
destruction than haven of refuge.
Loudly aud emphatioally the cry is going
mp from vessel owners and captains Tor q
let-up on the iusuferably piece-meal pro-
cess that has hitherto characterized the
work OF filling up the gap between the
two sections OF this work, and
for pushing 1t to speedy completion.
This gap is quarter Of q
mile in extent. Long ago the advisability
of filling 1t up and making the Break
water one continuous, com pact structure,
became apparent, and, after repeated ap.
peals to Congress- the work was started
at present the Braadywiue Granite Com.
pany Of Wilmington is engaged on con-
tract for doing portion OF this work,
and is dropping the huge stones that
form the base If the immense pile. But
because of meagre appropriations, made
with gingerly economy, little perceptible
progress has been made, and the wida
gap affords an uninterrupted sweep for
the heavy seas whenevar a severe north
east gale prevails. In its present condi-
tion the Breakwater can afford safe shell
ter to but 40 or SO vessels, while
every heavy storm drives fully hundred
craft to seek shelter behind its crest.
All anchored within ranga Of the wide,
untitled gap suffer from the fury of the
gale, drag their anchors aud are almost
surely beached. This was the cass
during the great blizzard of March,
1888, and also during this weeks
unparalleled storm. The filling of
the gap would have saved hun.
dreds of thousands of dollars in these
two stations alone. Vessel men are
unanimous in the hope that Congress-, at
its next session, will make an appropria.
ton large enough to complete this valua-
BILE and long.needed improvement.

As the GAEErTE surmised would be
the case in the end, information of the
New England movement for free raw
materials has .. length reached the edi-
torial department of the New York
Tribune. That paper learned on Satur-
day through the medium Of somebody
who is regarded by the Tribune as know.
ing more about the situation than all the
manufacturers in New England put to-
gether, that there had been Stree trade"
petition gotten up, which, on the same
authority, the Tribune learned, emanated
from dealers in, and not manufacturers
of, iron and steel products. Thereupon
the tribune assured these petitioners,
whom it seems to have been misled
by its informant into supposIng
could include no good Republi-
cans, that they die not know
anything whatever about managing their
own affairs that they ware "deceiving
themselves" and that they ought to have
patriotism enough to go uncomplainingly
to destruction rather than lay unholy
hands upon the sacred edifice of "protec.
ton" That the tribune was lams ntably
in error in assuming that its informant
knew SO much is something which the
Philadelphia Eoening Telegraph kindly
essays to explain for its New York con.
temporary's especial benefit. The 7eie-
graph assures the Tribune that, incom
preheusible as it may appear, both "pro-
teetionists' and manufacturers are to be
found among the New England petition
ers. 1t, the Telegraph, thinks the
petitioners have bluudered, and that their
disadvantages OF location are so great
that even free raw materials will
not save them, but II certiies that the
movement lis not free trade trick"
On the contrary, the Telegraph says,
"the friends of protection" must ''psr-
ceive that it is not Mr.. Mills OF Texas or
any other OF the free trade sohemers who
are moving the iron and steel and the
wooden manufacturers of New England to
demand free raw materials or reducsd
duties upon them, but that the manu-.
tacturers themselves are the sole authors
Of the movement II may take tue
Tribune some tins to realize this, but by
that time there will be more ''overpro-
teoted" victims kicking against the die
tum of free whisky and tobacco and high
taxes on necessaries.

The really great business
Of the Autumn begins this

show their heads like Spring

old statement can be made
again, only more so, namely:
You may search the shops Of
London, the grand magasins
of Paris, the large stores of
New York or Chicago, and
yet you will not find an equal
choice OF Dress Goods with
that which we will show this
season. They are coming
numerously, and are placed
on sale rapidly. Already we
can bewi!der you with variety.
So much TOR the general fact.
The progress of the year
may be seen in both ends of
the Carpet store, seco nd floor,
Market street; at the east end
the Art Paper Hanging and

end the Oriental Rug Room,
just opened.
Year by year the demand
for Oriental Rugs from the
hand-looms of the East is In
creaslng. Year by year the
finer and rarer of these rich

The Murine Journal describes a new
kind of steamer, Of pattern difficult for
a lRndsman to understand, which Is de-
signed to take full cargo direct from
st. Louis to any foreign port, and in
whose construction therefore means have
been sought to combine the essentials
both OF Mississippi river and Of ocean
navigation. From the description the
new steamer appears to have two bulls
or perhaps half bulls would be more
ineligible separated longitudiDally by
an open space in which drop keel is
suspended and made to ascend or de.
scend as required. This drop keel is for
the purpose OF giving the ship the
stength and stability requisite for safety
in stormy weather and high rolling seas,
while it is to be hauled up and out OF the
wey in river navigation. When in use
the upper part of the drop keel ia held
firmly in place by stout steel braces con-
structed along the entire length Of the
inner sides of the two hulls. Each
Of these bulls is likewise provided
with its own regular keel, and the bulls
themselves are united at their forward
end by solid bulkhesd The inventor
of this composite craft claims to have de-
vised an original system Of propulsion
by which every pound OF steam may be
utilized. The journal says that sit this
system should be found practicable, an
extraordinary rate OF speed is certain, as
the construction of the ship affords ex-
cellent facilities for the uis OF auxiliary
twin screws placed nsar the stern Of each
OF the hulls.n

No matter how dark the night, how fierce

Is recorded Of the crew at single station

aud floating wrecks OF vessels which sought

eminent does well to station these gallant
