A DELIGHTFUL HIDE
CENT STEAMER.
N A MAONIFI
Wlien the steamer Republic swung out
into the Christiana, yesterday morning,
for the purpose of taking the Grace
Church excursion to Cape May, it was
the general impression that from 1000 to
1800 persons were aboard. Previous to
starting those on board crowded along
the shore side and about, the gangway,
which, combined with the large crowd on
the wharf and the stream of persons go
ing about during the last few minutes,
gave rise to the impression that the
was unusually large. It was not
until the steamer was fairly guilder way
that the actual attendance was only
about nine hundred and fifty.
The steamer started at 7.15 o'clock,
and fully twenty minutes were consumed
in working down the Christiana, the tug
Falcon giving a tow, and the steamer
working only with the starting bar. On
account of her large size the Republic can
only be worked very slowly* and carefully
in the Christiana. At the mouth of the
creek the tug cast off her line, the engine
was put into full play, and at 7.35 the
steamer headed down the river full tilt
for Cape May. Fort Delaware was reach
ed at 8.15; Keedy Island Light, at 8.40,
.Ship John Light at 0.37, and Cape May
at, 11.45. The* morning was fair and
balmy, the breeze light and pleasant, the
water comparatively smooth, and alto
gether the ride down was as pleasant and
delightful as could be imagined. Nothing
occurred to mar the pleasure of the occa
sion, and the excursionists roamed at
will over the magnificent steamer, drink
ing in the inspiring salt air, watching the
various points of interest along the bay
as they were successively passed, and en
joying the delightful vocal and instru
mtal music that was provided for their
delectation.
On arriving at the Cape May Landing
every body went ashore, and while some
remained along the Hay, or explored the
pleasant retreats of Sea Grove, the ma
jority secured the hacks in waiting and
proceeded to Calx* May City, two and a
half miles distant. Here they dispersed
among the different hotels that were open
most of them going to the Atlantic Hotel
of which Mr. John McMakin, formerly
of Wilmington, is the manager.
Mr. McMakin cordiallv greeted his
Wilmington visitors, and his cheerful
manner and complete accommodations
soon put them at their perfect e
Atlantic is now open for the season, and
those of Wilmington's citizens who pro
pose spending some of the summer weeks
at the seaside cannot do better than to
place themselves under Mr. McMakin's
protecting care. His house is favorably
located on the main street of the city,
close to the beach, and is provided with
gas, hot and cold water, and all other
necessary conveniences. The house is
commodious, and the rates are not pitch
ed up to the extortionate figures of most
seaside hotels, hut
proper.
tention to the affairs of the hotel, and
personally supervises the comfort of his
guests.
As the steamer was announced to leave
the wharf at 3 o'clock on the return trip,
the excursionists had but very little time
to spend on the ocean beach. The time
was utilized by a glorious hath in the
bounding surf,* in which Prof. Fullmer
took the lead, a sumptuous dinner at the
Atlantic Hotel, a pleasant stroll along
the beach, and then the ride hack to the
steamboat pier.
After waiting patiently for the strag
glers, the boat cast off at ten minutes
F ast three o'clock, and ste
>elaware Bay. The ride up was even
more delightful than the down trip. The
sea continued smooth, the air balmy,
and the motion of the boat was delicious
As during the down trip the made was
delightful, Beck's famous band perform
ing the programme that was published a
day or two ago in the Gazette. In ad
dition to this treat some splendid vocal
music was given under the leadership of
Prof. Rhoads, the programme being as
follows :
Singing by |the Inglesidc Quintette,
composed of Messrs. Jas. Coley, H. It.
Trigg, S. It. Smith, N. It. Benson, jr.,
and Geo. Hildreth, with Clarence Shank
as accompanist :

Hoqak as of old.
Mrs. Macallister and Prof.Rhoads sang
a duo, "Oh, come to me."
. Macallister sang, "When life is
brightest," aud "Bessie, the Maid of
Dundee."
Mr. II. F. Pickels sang "Battle Prayer"
and "The Ivy Green."
Mr. Howell sang "The Wagon," and
"Were I a violet."
Prof. FerdFullmer presided at the pi
ano and played "Listen to the Mocking
Bird,'' with accompaniments.
The musical selections, both vocal aud
instrumental, were loudly applauded.
Not the least of the attractions of the
excursion was the restaurant, where the
excursionists were provided with all the
delicacies of the, season at reasonable
rates.
The steamer arrived at the mouth of
the Christiana
clock, hut nearly i
in working up to the wharf and turning
around before the landing was accom
plished.
The excursion throughout was an en
tire success, financially as well as other
wise. The receipts w ere quite gratifying
as the boat, through the kindness ot Mr.
and Capt. N. R. Benson was
obtained for the Church without any
charges beyond the ordinary running ex
penses.

VIRGINIA'S NEW WHIPPING-POST CODE.
V Irginia's new criminal code, writes a
correspondent from Richmond, will be
operjtive on the 1st of July. Un
der it one or more whipping-poets will be
established in each city and county with
in the Commonwealth. In future there
will he no iinprisonment'for petty larceny
except for second otienses, aud where, in
the judgment of the Justice or Judge, the
condition of a female offender may ren
der stripes unadvisable. The Legisla
ture determined on this change at the
last session iu view of the crowded condi
tion of the prisons, the cost of maintain
ing convicts, and the impoverishment of
the Commonwealth's financial resources.
The right of appeal from the judgment
of a justice to trial by jury, is, of course,
reserved. There is some division of opin
ion as to the necessity for the re-estab
lishment of the whipping-post, but the
majority of the people undoubtedly ex
pect great things from it as an economi
cal and crime-preventing measure.

A Strange I>i«wa»e.
The Indianapolis Journal lias this
story about a strange disease that has
broken out among the the cattle owned
by dairymen neat* that city : " From
eating dew-covered white clover a cer
tain highly expansive gas is formed in
Llie bovine stomach which penetrates to
all parts of the animals' bodies, causing
death in a few hours. There is only one
known remedy, and that is to tburst a
knife into the aides of the afflicted cat
tle just behind the shoulder blades. This
affords an outlet for the gas and brings
instant relief. Cattle suffering from the
gaseous comptai utlook as though they
might have been fed upon compressed
yeast. The dairymen have associated
themselves together for mut ual protection
and by adopting this method manage to
prevent a very extensive mortality,
though probably 100 cows have died
f roin the disease thus far. The gentle
herdmeu now go around with long keen
butcher knives, which they slip into the
sides of their coivs when occasion re
quires. The cornfield sub-divisions
north of the city have been oonverted
Into immens» clover fields and it is here
the grazing kine are encountering the
death-dealing white variety. Dairymen
call the disease "Covering." It has not
yet attacked the pumps, and »lie mlik
merchants do not (eel entirely disheart

way of getting shipments to Huntington,

Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. A few'
cargoes will be shipped as an experiment

statement a few hours before assassina
