The work of dredging the creek al
Biddle's Landing, which has been car.
ried on under the supervision Of Capt.
Warren Swazey, is stopped because the
appropriation has been exhausted. But
good work has been done. A channel
fifty feet wide, with six feet depth at
low water, has been cleaned out at one
J of the worst places. Very little more
time and money would put the creek in
excellent navigable condition.-Smp-
beam.
The ''good work" done was where it
was not needed and the "worst place.
, for clearing out which $1,000 was APP
propriated, has not been touched and
instead Of their being six feet-depth at
low water there is not six feet at high
water. This is the testimony of the
boatmen who have run out of PENIS
Neck Canal for years. The boatmen
protested to Capt" Swazey against
ullng up the money where digging was
not needed but he went on and used it
up, stopping just where digging should
have begun. Major Raymond, the
Philadelphia harbor master, was ap-
pealed TO but he would not listen.
Such using of the peoples money is
rank robbery and swindliDg and the
man under whose direction it was vast
ed should lave the toe of Uncle Sans
boot so forcibly that he could never see
his way back into the government SER
vice. A green horn from Ireland who
knows nothing but how to throw mud
knows more than such fashionable en-
cheering.
The fact that two steamers have
missed their regular market more than
Il trip since digging ended week be-
fore last is sufficient proof of the above,
as the boats don't draw six feet of wat
er when loaded.
What does the loss OF a regular mar
ket mean? 1t is more often than not
chat sweet potatoes afe &c. a basket
and watermelons 1c. cheaper in the
afternoon than early in the morning as
nearly all buyers have purchased what
they want and left. An average $50
freight composed of one-third melons
and two-thirds sweet potatoes would
be 1000 melons and 1888 baskets of
sweet potatoes, there being l (cent
freight III melons and &c on baskets.

ons by the boat missing her market be-
cause of the bar would amount to SOC,
or the loss of II and a half times the
freight to the farmers. With the truck
selling as il is this year 1t is quite an
item beside the loss Of time to the boat.
men. This all on account of MI.
Swazey's ''good wook done.
If another appropriation was at once
available it would rot be so hard to
wait but another cannot he gotten
without considerable trouble, now es-
p~ecially that the treasurer is verging on
legal bankruptcy and no river and har-
Dor bill likely to be passed. But an ap.
preparation should be made at once as
more farmers produce and manure is
carried through this porti0n..o of Salem
creek than in any creek in South Jersey
because their is no railrand nearer than
six miles from Courses Landing, the
head of navigation.

Some Inside History in Feminine

Women are great sufferers from nerv-
business, weakness, nervous prostration,
and debility. Thousands of girls droop
and languish in the close, confined atmos-
phere of shops and factories or offices,
and hundreds of thousands wear out
their nerve force and power in house
hold cares, family bereavements and re-
sponsibilities and work which never ends.
Here lies the great strains upon the
nervous systems Of women. Here Is the
cause why so many women complain OF
being weak, nervous, tired and exhausted.
They have little or no rest; their life
Is one continual round of work, duties
here, duties there, duties without num-
Der. What wonder that such women 90
to bed at night fatigued, and wake tired
and unrefreshed in the morning! What
wonder that they become worn out, 80 to
speak, In nerve and vital power! What
wonder that they have great weakness,
exhaustion, pains in the back and limbs,
together with the distressing female COM
plants which are always caused by loss
OF vital strength and vigor! OF how
many thousands of women is the above
a true Snd exact transcript of daily life ?
They have worn out and exhausted their
nerve force and physical power. They
must work, but it follows as surely as
the day follows the night that they must
receive from some source a renewal of
nerve force and physical energies, or the
human machine will soon cease to run.
