Joumeylug southward over the Delaware
division of tbe Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore railroad ono gets a fairly in
telligent impression of tho magnitudo of
peach cultivation i:i tho Delaware peninsula.
A few miles below New Castle an abundant
prowth of trees and the large number of
wagons and men scattered here and there in
tho open fluid indicate tho commencement
of the great ieach belt, and as the train pene
trates still further there is a greater density
of trees, hemming in the track upon either
bide until they teem to expand into an inter
minable wilderness of intertwining trunks,
lOughs and leaves, weighted down with
fruit. Long lines of cars arp side tracked at
the different stations, loading with crates
and baskets for bhipmeut to Philadelphia,
New York and the eastern markets, the
fruit coming not only from the prolific
orcharJ3 skirting the main fctuia, but from
tno numerous feeders which ramify the
country.
Every milo tho train covers you get deeper
find deeper into the region. It is peaches,
peaches everywhere, until you become abso
lutely surfeited. Tho very a'.mospbero is
JiipreuaU'd with the arom that is wafted
through tho car windows from tho depths of
tlio orchards. Numerous little urchins, al
most before tho wheels have ceased to gy
rate, are climbing ou tbe cars like pirates
boarding an ocean prize. They impudently
thrust their basketa in your faco and vocif
erously importune 3011 to buy of their stock.
Every otljov inau on ihd cui' iu a grower, a
buyer, a worker or u speculator, or in some
way interested in the business.
"Ilarringtonl Change cara for Lewesi"

At twilight the train comes to a halt at the
station at Lewes, the historic old town of
Sussex county, with its antique, moss cov
cii'd houses, almost hidden from view in the
iniilM of a grund old forest of oak and pino
trees. While looking about for a suitable
conveyance a venerablo looking negro, driv

biK'k'ooard, enruo along. I found tho old
fellow to be quite eornmun ieatn e, and read
ily agreed to take me for a consideration,
and in a short time we were off for the Capes,
leaving a crowd of poopla gaxiog curiously
after us.

! verges to tho right and ruus parallel with

followed it for a milo and a half, when wo
turned abruptly into a by path and plunged
into tho dismal locking place. Suddenly we
were greeted by the shouts of a troop of dirty,
piP Cei looking children, who seemed tohavu
j praug up out o the bushes. The driver ex
plained that wo had struct lue "clarms,"
which 1 interpreted as meaning tho clear-
ings, and so they proved to bo.
These clearings aro located at short intt-?-
v als, and consist ot f rorq one-half to an ncr a
cf arablo land iu a comparatively good state
of cultivation. Upon this ground is raised an,
abundance of vegetables and cabbage; sweet
and round potatoes are stowed away in large
quantities for winter use. There are cherry,

Tho community is diminishing, however,
for the encroachments of progressive civil
ization and the development of internal im

A great many Lave vacated the clearings for

this season find plenty of employment in the
frait orchards or drying houses, earning
from W) to IW cents per day, and yet they aro
happy and contented and seem to thrive
upon this pittance. They enjoy an advan

cities, because during the summer they can
make their "clearing" produce enough vege
tables to last them through the winter. Be

DIFFERENCES IN EYESIGHT,
Its Varied Power In 11 tie rent Nations
Ju to I'hj-Kleal Conditions.
It is possible that slight differences may
exist in the Feeing powers of different na
tions, duo to the effect of physical conditions;
thus tho inhabitants of mountainous districts
and of dry, elevated table ljuida may have a
better eight than dwellers in low,' humid and
level regious, although just the reverse may
be the case. Among European nations the
Germans are generally supposed to have
weak eyes, owing, some imagine, to their ex
cessive indulgence in tobacco, wbija others
attribute tho supposed decay to the form of
type usntl in, their books, which requires,
closer ov.king at yhan ours in reading, Ttiat
they will deteriorate stiH further la this di
rection. an4 from being a spectacled people
beoome a blind one, to the joy of their ene
mies, is not likely to happen, nd probably
the decadence has been a great deal exagger
ated. Animals living iu Jarkncss boeomo near
Eighty, and then uearer sighted still, and so
on progressively until the vanishing point is
reached. Iq a community or nation a similar
decline might begin from much reading of
Cerman books, or perpetual smoking of pipes
with big china bowls, or from some other un
known cause; but the decay opuld. not pro
gress far, because here is nothing in ruau to
take ao place of sight as there is in the bliud
cavo rats and fishes and inseots. Aud if we
could survey mankind from China to Peru
with all tho scientific appliances which are
brought to bear on the board school children
in London and on the nation generally, tho
differences in the powers of iim 114 he
various races, iat;pns and tribes, would prob
ably' appear very insignificant. The mistake
which eye specialists and wyitet on the eye
make is that thpy think too much jo ine
CY2. When thV afflrnj thn conditions
of pur civilization ajo highly injurious to the
sight do they mean all the million conditions
or sets of conditions embraced by our system,
with tho infinite variety of occupations and
modes of living which men have, from the
lighthouse keejicr to the worker underground,
.whose day is. tho dim glimmer of tho miner's
lamp?
''An organ excroised beyond its wont will
grow ?ad thus meet increase of demand by
increase of supply," Herbert Spencer says,
but, ho adds, "there is a limit soon reached
beyond which it is impossible to, go." This
increase of demand ith use is everywhere
now on this organ and now on that, accord
ing to our work and way of life, and the eye
is in no worse case than the other organs.
There aro among us many case3 of heart
complaint; civilization, in such cases, has
put too great a strain on that organ, and
has reached the limit beyond which it can
not go. And so with tho eye. ' Tbo total
number of defective- anions us is no doubt
very hirgo, for we kuow that our system of
lifo retards it cannot effectually prevent
the healthy action of natural selection. Na
turo pulls, ouo way and we pull tho other,
compassionately trying to save the unfit
from the consequences of their unfitness.
The humane instinct compels us, but the
cruel instinct of the savage, who hates the
sick and the unfit as the inferior animals do,
is les painful to contemplate than that mis
taken or perverted compassion which seeks
to perpetuate unfitness, and in the interest of
suffering individuals inflicts a lasting injury
on tho race. It is a beautiful and sacred
thing to minister to the blind and to lead
them, but a horrible thing to encourage them
to marry and transmit the miserable blind
condition to their posterity. Yet this is
very common. Longman's Magazine.

It is a singular and as yet unexplained fact
that in certain, sjiecies of vegetable growth
(bere are found a variety of stones supjHtoed
to be formed and deposited in their tissues
from tbe silicious and calcareous juices cir
culating in their organisms. Thus, in the
bamboo a round stone is found at the joints
of the caue called 'tabahheer." Another
curiosity of the sort is the "cocoanut stone,"
found in the endosperm of the cocoanut in
Java aud other Eust India udunds. Dr.
ICiiumfns describes it as a pure carbonctt
tt lime. It is sometimes round, some
times pear shaped, while the apearauco ii

Komi of the stones are as large as chernei
and as bard as feldspar or opal. They are
very rare and are regarded as precious stone
by the orientals and charms against disease
or evil spirits by the natives. Stones of this
kind are sometimes found in tho pomegranate
and other East India fruits. Apatite has
been discovered in the midst of leak vodd. .

The I'uxliiii of Theft.
The siH.i t of thieving, ii, Us various forms,
is tbe most irresistible of all pastimes, writes
the late Chief Justice Cock-burn in l:N re
miniscences. What liuva ijun, equal to
it? No license to pay for, no permission to
ask, no close time, total idleness, great risk,
frequent success, constant excitement, a
community of their own, the whole public
their preserve, the delight of eluding the
law, and tho many chances of escape even
after being caught trespassing. If airything
could be required to whet their appetite foi
this game, it would be its contrast with the
dullness of a good prison recently left. I
hope I'm wrong, but if there be a thoroughly
reformed twice convicted thief, I would
rather pay a shilling to see him than to see
any other wonder in any living show. Home
