run for Congress this year. They are
anxious to see bow phenomenal a ma

him since he has become such a howl

There is no doubt that Mr. Purnell J.
Lynch's splendid canvas for the
sheriffalty nomination would have
succeeded, but for the treachery in
this city. But likewisa may it
be said that if Democratic promises in
St. George's had baen kept Mr. Peter
J. Ford would have been nominated.
Hr. Ford is the one man who made
the Biggs victory at the county meet
ing possible and fur his extraor
dinary i or vices on that occa
sion he was to have bjen nomi

work capitally in this city, at New
Castle and in Christiana hundred, but

other lower hundreds, the mei who
reaped the fruits of his brilliant work
at New Castle on May 28, betrayed
him and defeated him.

A somewhat exaggerated, but very
interesting letter from Hamburg,
Berks oounty, Pa., found it* way into
the North American of Philadelphia.
It purports le give some of the notions
concerning tbe health of the good
people who live in that county, and
they are curious enough aa the follow
ing extract will prove:
"Firet of all it is neceeoary to take
beer in moderate quantities, and if
you are unfortunate enough to have
been born a male, vote tbe Democratic
ticket. If you can't catch on to the
regular party ticket, put one in with
General Jackson's name on, and the
jndgee will in nine cases of ten know
that you meant the right thing any
how, and count it tbe way it should be
counted.
"If a Berks eountyparty ever becomes
foolish enough to throw beer to one
side and take whiskey in such quanti
ties as to produce delirium tremens,
his friends consider it their duty to se
cure[two live eels from a distance of at
least 100 miles from where the patient
lives, pour a half gallon of whiskey
over them and after the death of the
poor eels compel the patient to drink
all the whiskey during three conse
cutive days in tbe sign of the fish. If
ho lives through this he will get well
sure, and never again be cursed with
tbe appetite for rum.
"No man or woman will in the opin
ion of the average Barks county
resident attain a great age or enjoy
gooc health if he or she has not been
placed in th* hopper of the nearest
grist mill before the age of ten days
has been reached, and so well do tbe
dusty millers in this section understand
this belief of tbe people that they
invariably commence to get tbe hopper
ready when they see a woman
«
approach the mill with a ch Id in her
arms.
with whom I have conversed relative
to their peculiar list of cures and pre
vemitivpp, a man or woman who will
make it a point on their twenty-fifth
birthday to catch a toad and kiss it
will certainly live to be three score
and ten; if, after attaining that age,
they repeat the dose on the same toa.1,
there is no doubt that they will Lve to
be centenarians.
"The average country mother in
this county would consider it a most
serious dereliction of duty to neglect
taking the first crop of hair out from
the head of her child, and stowing it
away under the rock first touched by
her foot after the birth of the young
ster, for she firmly believe? that this
will conduce to its future good health,
and guarenteo a long life. She knows
that her mother did so in her case,
and the traditions of the old folks
must not be forgotten or disbelieved.
"When a man sprains his back
here he will between sundown and 9
In tbo estimation cf several
o'clock p. m. wind an eel skin three
times around his body, and swear that
he will have no pain tbe next morn
ing.
"A boy who see* wart* on his hands
in tbi* county doesn't carry them long
if he has been properly instructed at
home, for bis mother bas told him that
immediately upon their first appear
ance he must make a beeline for ths
nearest tree stump that has water in it
and thoroughly cleans» (?) bis hands in
the stagnant pool. If he does so he
need have no fear but that the warts
will disappear before the end of the
month.
"When a little Beiks county baby
gets a sore throat, no physicians, allo
pathic or otherwise, is called in to pre
scribe some nauseous doso or mayhap
burn the little darling's throat with
caustic, but the mother takes tbe stock
ing from her own right foot (and just
here allow me to remark in parenthe
sis I hat careful inquiry has demonstra
ted the fact that the country women
in this county only change their hose
once in two weeks to save washing),
winds it around her pet's neck, puts it
to bed, and lu! the soreness has taken
its everlasting departure, and tbe child
is entirely well next morning.
"When age brings aches and pains
and tbe old man's joints get stiff, tbe
wife who has for so many years shared
his joys and sorrows takes a bacon
rind, carefully rubs tbe sore spots and
then buries the rind under the eave of
the bouse, firmly believing that as the
meat gradually rots away the pains
will ceaae and the Joints limber up."

Some of tho Record* During the
Irani Pllterii Years.
"The record has been beaten" was
the word passed along tho water front
among steamship men and ocean
travellers when they learned that the
Cunard steamship Etruria was off
Sandy Hook at noon on Saturday,
Juno 3, The record had been beaten
several times, not only by different
vessels, but the Etiuria had beaten her
own record more than once. The Etru
ria left Queenstown just after lunch
on Sunday, May 27, and was off Sandy
Hook nearly two hours before lunch
on Saturday, June 3. While the ap
parent interval of timo was three
hours lees than six days between tbe
two points, owing to the difference
in time of four minutes to each de
gree of longitude she had crossed, she
was actually six days ons hour and
fifty-five minutes between the two
points, a span of 2.854 marine miles.
Her average runs were 471 knots every
twenty-four hours, bat on one day,
the day previous to liar arrival off
Sandy Hook, she made 509 knots.
This was at the rate of 21 knots an
hour, 3.124 feet each minute and 35
feet each second, and for the entire
run an average of 19 6-10 knots an
hour.
Previous to this last unprecedented
trip of the Etruria she was the hearer
of the champion pennant as the "Queen
of the Ocean," but the pennant had
alternated between the Alaska, the
Arizona, the Aurania, the Oregon, the
Umbria and the Etruria. This how
ever, docs not say that the steamers of
the French and the North German
Lloyd lines enumerated above are not
equally fast, but as they sail between
different ports their trips are not cal
culated in the comparison of the speeds
between Queenstown and New York.
For instance, the Aller, of the North
German Lloyd, made the trip from
New York to Southampton in fSep
teraber last in 7 days, 4 hours and 25
minutes. This is equivalent to mak
ing the run to Queenstown in 6 days 9
hours and 49 minutes. The following
is a table of the fastest transatlantic,
trips made and the vessels ^ which
mads them;

The marriage Did Not Take Place.
One of the girls ia fashionable so
ciety in New York made up her mind
to get marri d the other day. aud after
confiding her intention to her father,
she said: "What do you intend to do
for me?" The father was a wealthy
man and thought be was showing a
liberal spirit when he answered;
"Well, I will give you $100 000 to buy
a house and $25,000 to furnish it
with." "And what will you give mo
to live on?" the young lady demanded,
with a dissatisfied look on her
face. "Oh, I will allow you the interest
on another $100.000,''replied the father.
"But my chtf will cost at least fl,200
a year. How do you think I can pos
sibly manage with so littlt?" The
father looked slightly grieved,but only
paid: "That must do while I am living.
You will probably have |more when I
am gone." Tne young man who was
interested in hearing the result of this
conversation between father and
daughter, sai I when he heard it: "He
might at least have given her $2,000,
000." The marriage did not take place.

Forty-eight Pioneers Arrive April 7, 17S8
Wlicn the revolution was over the "terri
tory northwest of tbo river Ohio" became an
object of great interest, anti in 1785 a nura
lter of officers from the New England states
petitioned congress for a grant of land them
The question of title to the territory pro
ven tel as well ns tha claims ef tbe states of
New York, Virginia, Massachusetts and
Connecticut to exclusive rights in it. At
length New York surrendered her title with
out reservation, and Virginia and Connecti
cut followed, with certain tracts reserved.
On the 20th of May, 1785, congress passed an
ordinance for the survey of a portion of this
territory. Surveyors were appointed as fol
lows, May 27, 1785:
Nathaniel Adams for New Hampshire,
Rufus Putnam for Massachusetts, Caleb
Harris for Rhode Island, William Morris for
New York, Adam Hoops for I'ennsylvania,
James Simpson for Maryland, Alexander
Parker for Virginia, Absalom Tatum for
Nortli Carolina, William Tate for South
Carolina and Isaac Sherman for Connecticut.
Gen. Rufus Potnutu having other engage
ments, Gem Benjamin Tupper was appointed
in his place.
The United States had established Fort
Pitt at the mouth of the Alleghany river,
and Fort McIntosh
below the mouth of
Big Beaver creek,
and in tbe autumn
of 1785 Fort Har
rriar on the "In
dian shore," at tbe
mouth of the Mus
kingum, but no .
other frontier de- jffL.
tense existed ex- (xflB
rept Fort Vincent. Hj
on the W abas h. ' ^
T li o government
was moving troops
out to the frontier, and among them was a
young sergeant in the company of Capt.
Strong, of CoL Harmar'a regiment. This
young soldier, not over 18 years of age, was
Joseph Buell, of Killingworth, Conn., after
ward one of the first major generals of
militia appointed by the state of Ohio in
1803. He bad boen stationed at West Point
during October, 1785, but in November he
received orders, with others, to march for
(lie western frontier. He kept a brief diary
of his haps and mishaps, which Is priceless
today, since it gives us most graphic descrip
tions of lifo on Ute Ohio border at that timo.
Wo give a few extracts:
"Dec. 20.—Marched at daybreak for Fort
McIntosh, and arrived at sunset. Went into
old barracks. The troops are raw nnd tin
acquainted with duty; the officers very strict,
punishing the men tor the smallest offenses."
"Jan. 25.—Corp. Davis, John C, Dittman,
Joel Guthrie and Alexander Patterson crossed
the river with permission. The corporal ro
turned nnd reported that tbe men refused to
return with him. They were immediately
pursued by Bergt Pitch and three men,
who overtook them, and they surrendered
without any resistance nnd were brought
prisoners into the garrison, and were shot
within one hour after without the benefit of
a court martial by the order of Maj. VVyUis,
the most inhuman action that ever 1 saw.
Bergt. Fitch received orders from the
major to put them all to death the moment
they overtook them, hut being a man of feel
ings did not obey bis order, as they were the
prettiest young soldiers in the company and
surrendered without any troubla For this
he was immediately reduced, after doing his
utmost to take them."
"April 17.—Mr. Wyllis nnd ITamtramck,
with his company, went down the river in
command to disperse the people from set
tling on the Indian shore" (L e., what is now
the southeastern shore of Ohio).
"April 14.—Capt. Storey discovered a num
ber of Indians with their arms a short dis
tance from the garrison, but did not speak
with them. By their behavior wo imagined
they designed some mischief. They set the
woods on lire at several places, and wo ex
pected them to fall on the garrison in the
smoke, and were in some fear the garrison
might take fire, but the wind lowering, we
received no damage."
"May 4.—CapU. Strong and Bigelow's
companies emltarked for Muskingum."
"May 8.—Wo arrived nt Muskingum,

Fort Harmar had been begun In the au
tumn of 1785 by United States troops of
Gen. Hnrmar's command, under Maj. John
Doughty. It was built of heavy logs and
timber, and was a five sided structure. Out
side of the fort were fine gardens, cultivated
by the soldiers. It was the third fort estab

of tbo present state of Ohio.

"May 13. — Complot«»! the west boundary of

"May 14.—Mr. Anselm end myself with a
hunter left Maj, Sargent's camp in order to
fall In with Gen. Tuppor on the geographer's
line, whom we found encamped near the end
of the Sixth range."
"May 17, Sunday.—'This morning I went
to a camp of Indians. It was eighty rods
above us at tho creek. They were about
eight in number, men aud women. They had
rum with them and bad a drunken frolic
the night before,'.but appeared decent and
friendly."
"May 19.—Gen. Tupper began his range and
our camp moved to tho west about three
miles, to a large branch of tho Tuscaroras,
called Nine Shilling. After running on the
line three-fourths of a mile, an express ar
rived from Maj. Hamtreuuck's camp at Little
Beaver with word that Indians were assem
bling at the Shawnese towns, and intended
making a general attack on ths survey ora
Capt. Hutchins and Geu. Tupper thought It
unsafe to proceed any further. Notice was
immediately lent to Capt. Morris, who bad
got about one mile aud a half on the west
boundary of tbe seventh range, and we all
returned to the ground we left this morning
raid passed the night." Such, In brief, were
some of tha early Incidents of the United
States surveys la Ohio.
In the two years of 1786, 1787, while these
surveys were being completed, Gens. Rufus
Putnam nnd Benjamin Tupper had organized
the Ohio company, nnd n lanre number of
influential men in the em-t oad identified
themselves with the scheme. Dr. Mananik
Cutler, os agent tor the company, with Maj.
Winthrop Sargent, hail completed a contract
with congress, and early in December, 1787,
the advance guard of men for the new settle
ment was under way. Those men—a part
under command of Maj. ilaflleld White
and a part under Col. Ebenezer Sproat—
creased the Alleghany mountains in the win
ter and were joined by Gon. Rufus Putnam
at Simrill's ferry, on the Yohiogany river,
in February, 1788. Having bnilt boats there
they emliarked on the second day of April
and descending the Ohio river arrived at the
mouth of the Muskingum river April 7,
forty-eight men in all They landed on the
east point opposite Fort Harmnr and imme
diately set to work to survey the ground for
a city. Oou. Rufus Putnam set up for his
own headquarters a large tent which bad
boon captured from the British general, Bur
goyne, in the Revolution. Around Manilla
for four months centered all the activities of
the United (States government and of the
province of Ohio. 7ho proposed city was
given the name of Marietta, in honor of
Mario Antoinette, the queen of France, as a
recognition of the friendly interference of
France daring the Revolution. On

TWO NEW WAR SHIPS.
The American Cruiser Maine end the
Frcoeh Torpedo Boat Condor,
The government two years ago colled for
two war vessels. Under the act (Aug. 6,
1880) authorizing them the Maine and Texas
are being constructed, the Maine at Brook
lyn, the Texas at Norfolk. Tho Barrow com
pany won tha prize for tho design of tho
Texas, but none of the competitive plans for
the Maine being acceptable, the bureau de
sign of Chief Constructor Wilson, which
could not compete for the prize, was selected.
The plan for tho Maine is based on tho fa
mous Riachuelo, but with nil the dimensions
increased. She will have two engines of
8,750 horse power, which, with boilers for

forced draft, are expected to give her seven
teen knots speed. For the main battery
there will be four 10 inch and six 6 inch
breech loaders. They wifi be protected by
shields two inches thick. The turret« are
placed on opposite sides of the vessel, so that
the guns may be fired ahead or astern. Two
of tbo larger guns are placed forward and
two aft nnd two in the center. The secondary
battery includes twenty-five machine guns.
There are seven torpedo tubes and two fast
torpedo boats attached to the vessel. The
armor belt will reach four feet below tho
water line. The Maine U bark rigged, hav
ing 7,000 square feet of canvas, and her fore
mast and mainmast will have military tops
for machine guns. Her steerage apparatus,
in action, will ba protected by ten inches of
steel armor.
The French are indulging in self congratu
lations over tho completion and fine move
ment of tho Condor, a torpedo cruiser of
an entirely new design, of which design they
have three more cruisers in construction.
The Couder has lately made a trip to Bar
celona, Spain, where it was compared with
other cruisers of English, Austrian and
Italian make; and according to tho French
reporters, their cruiser easily "took the
cake"—if a cruiser has any use for cake.
The plan was to make a cruiser light enough
to mors swiftly, strong enough to serve as
iron clad and torpedo boat, and quick enough
in motion to dodge heavier ironclads, and
they claim that they have done all that

and 29 feet wide, drawing 14 feet of water,
