Grand Opening. HWABLE BROS. WILL OPEN THEIB AWARD op THE TrEascRY Lock CoyTRact. Acting Secretary Richardson yesterday award- ed the contract for furnishing locks for bonded warehouses, cars, &c., bids for which were opened a short time since. On cars containing bonded goods, he has determined to have two locks. The outside one simply secures the cap which covers the opening in the car by which access is had to the inner lock, upon which the gvernment relies for security. The outside lock is that proposed by Mr. James E. Phomp- son, being without key, and fastened simply by a lead real. They are furnished at fifty cents each. The inside lock, and also for bonded ‘warehouses, will be that of the American Seal Leck Company, of which Mr.8.P. Brown, of this city, is the agent. This lock has been adopted by the express companies, and by many banks and prominent merchants here and else- where, and is considered an excellent piece of mecbanism, being at once strong, simple, and cheap, and, when supplied with the seal, per- fectly secure against all depredators, official or otherwise.

Booker, WA 4 TRIP TO COBB'S ISLAND—THERE OR THEEREABOUT. Many years ago the navigators along the white-bleached coast of Eastern Virginia were surprised one September morning following upon acalm, smoky September day, such a3 precedes the earthquake season in California, by the appearance of a rakish-looking island off the county of Northampton, where no island should be—long and low, and with an outer- guard of dangerous reef. That the islan! was thrown up by some great convulsion of nature, and not formed by tidal deposits of sand, ‘would appear from the fact that the long stretch of reef on the seaward side of the island uever shows a sand deposit, and that the water imme- diately beyond reaches the great depth of forty fathoms. MORE ABOUT COnB’s ISLAND. This long, low, remarkable island, shot up from a depth of forty fathoms by some internal disturbance in nature’s economy, was soon found to have some remarkable accompani- ments. The finny tribe sought its waters in countless shoale; the birds of the air hankered after it, swarmed about it, and dropped their eggs on its white sands without heed, so that they got them landed on Cobb’s Island. Only it was not known then as Cobb’s Island, but in the process ef time the Cobb’s bought it—very cheaply the legend gocs—carried soil from the mainland to start some vegetation on its glisten- ing sand, and then as the fame of Cobb’s Island expanded, and visitors increased, they extended their accommodations, until now it threatens to become a fashionable place and to draw its summer quota of Saratoga trunks and the gay birds of fashion. It wants nothing now but a distingue name. COBB is certainly common- place. Probably it will be known hereatter as Cobbe’s Island, or the Island de Kaube. TRE LADY OF THE LAKE GUx@ FOR CouB’s oR COBBE’S ISLAND. ‘The favorite steamer Lady of the Lake, which, under the charge of young Admiral Austin P. Brown—a worthy chip of the old block—has done such excellent service this season in show- ing the variety and extent of the resources for health and pleasure to be found within easy reach of Washington, set ont on Friday evening for a pleasure trip through the net-work of waters in and tributary to Chesapeake Bay, proposing to extend the journey outside the capes to Cobb's Island. WHO WENT ON THE EXCURSION TO © ISLAND—THERY OK THEREABOUT. The boat left the Washington wharf at 24 p. m.; a8 usua) setting the mud in commotion in starting in a way toshow the unsatisfactory and failing condition of our river channel. The moment we were well of we shot out of the close rultry atmosphere that seemed to weigh down the spirits of all, and the boat speeding on created a breeze of her own, bracing and en- livening that brought everybody up to concert pitch d in a mood to enjoy aud help others to enjoy. Taking a general average of our human cargo, it was soon settled that we had a vastly pleasant party, the few growlers and sore- teads inevitable, being in such minority as to aftord only that sort of amusement to the mass that the gouty uncle or crusty servant does in a piay. A trip of this kind, with its close associa- Tions and throwing off of forms, develops ali sorts of unsuspected «jualities, gifts, virtues and the part of fellow-mortals we nd yet not known, for years. Before reaching Alexandria our party developed enough latent heat of this unsuspected sort — enough life, music, jingle and buoyarey to have fet up a fair opera company, a first-class bur- lesque and theatrical ditto, a church choir, and haif a dozen minstrel troupes. BALD-HEADED LOONS. For one thing we were well off for bald-head- ed men. Did anybody ever know a pleasure ex- cursion to go off tlafly when there were plenty of baid- headed men about? They are the salt ofthe earth. Like Falstaff they witty themselves but the cause of They put on no fine airs, no Miss Nancyism. They go in for good solid square enjoyment- Whenever you hear a roarof honest solid laugh- ter that shakes the whole boat, you may be sure tha. a bald-headed man is at the bottom of it. He has either said a good thing or a good thing bes been said about him. We had all the various grades of bald men, trom the initiate or chrysalis, with a spot the size fof a Mexican dollar, who somewhat theepishly and with a talse shame seeks to hide it, to the glorious ettulgent old id-head, Pnoed go ‘d sconce shines like a billiard ball, frin, and outlined may be low down on the skull by just enough capillary substance to in- cate that hairis properly subordinate to the brain. All bonor to the bald-heads! We look forward without dismay to the remote future when we shall be one of them. And then bald- headed men are apt to have such pretty daugh- ters. One of our y only anediumly bald, and therefore not in his prime, rejoyces (will the printer please set Oe at word as written) im nine children, mainly daughters, and the — he nad along was as charming as pos- ible, though the handsome mother will not allow that she surpasses the rest of the brood. THE BOON OF LOVELY WOMAN. But our party was rather famous for its pleas img women. Not a few of our substantial citi- zens, with their wives and daughters, noted for their beauty and accomplishments, were of the circle. There was the charming little wife of one of our promising young journalists—pretty, witty, and with a voice like a lark—Just the sort of wite to brighten up the lite of a hard-work- ing newspaper man. There was a brilliaut woman, @ large-hearted, much-enduring wile, of whom the world has heard something through her bard domestic tortuneg, and who, as suatly is the case, has had to bear the brunt of criti- cism—an earnest, resolute woman, who, driven to depend upon herself, bas settled down to close, practical business, and has shown that a rr Gan not only “keep @ hotel,” but keep it well. ‘Lhere was a pretty clinging young bride who, at ten sainuto intervals, was aus sare Hie boss was going down and was perpetually m contuing little clutches at the matital frame for protection; and there was the sturdy good-look- ing _—— who blushed a little, but evidently liked it.

BEADING FOR THE CAPES. The trip went on with song, dance, promc- nade, improvisation, and interludes much availed of to enjoy the excellent meals on board the Lady of the Lake, while Piney Point and Old Point were touched at and passed, and Nor- folk reached, on Saturday morning. Then after a brief pause the Lady turned on her heel and struck out eaucily seaward in the face of a threatenin; ze.

SEPTEMBER 7, 1870. LATER. TWO CENTS. PARIS REINFORCED. CHERRYSTONE. The next thing to do was to go to Cherrystone to land such of our passengers as were inclined to seek the overland and inlet passage to Cobb's Island.

By the way, our Cherry- stone boatman—a long-tirawn-out specimen, a sort of Accomac Yankee, s:ow of 5] and of action, made a remark about shoo ig that.may not be new, but which made some of us laugh. He said that Pg aie a down here pning”—not alluding to any of our party— & yuldn’t shoot a bird if they had one foot on Cherrystone is a quiet place in its way.

Wise ured to boast that his con- stituents of the Eastern Shore Iistrict shot edi- tors and schoolmasters as fast as they came along. The result of this policy has probably been a deterioration of the size of the brain in Accomac and Northumberland. HOW WE GOT THE NEWS. Proceeding again from Cherrystone to Nor- folk, we stopped at Old Point to visit the fort- ress, the Jeff. Davis prison quarters, Xc., and as we touched the usually silent wharf somebody shouted from the shore that Napoleon and the whole French army had surrendered. There was at once a babel of inquiries from the Lady of the Lakers as to the source of bo | news. The answer was that it had been receiv trom official sources at Washington by the com- mandant at the Fortress, and was undoubtedly true. Still the news seemed so st: ing as to need time for comprehension, anda sharp voice, that of the Lady’s French bar keeper, rang out from the boat: “ France conkaired—the army surrendaired! Nevair-r-r-r,” (with a trail of the final *r” like a dram roll.) THE THREE YOUNG MEN OF NORFOLK. On we went again to Norfolk to tie up for the night, and on went the dance, which had been kept up with slight intermission through the day. It should have been mentioned that on leaving Norfolk in the morning for Cobb's Isl- aud we took on board, with others, three gor- geovsly arrayed young Norfolk Toots’s, fair to look upon, bat with thinnish legs. They danced indefatiguably with the pretty ladies, with the Prim widows, with the jolly widows, and with each other when partners ran short. ‘One coald not but suspect that these three young men of Norfolk have worn their legs down by a fever- ish and laborious existence in dancing upon every excursion boat that comes along. A SLEEPY CITY. Nerfolk, with ajl its advantages of situation is not a lively city on week days, and on Sun- day the very depths of drowsiness seem to settle down over it. The most part of the day was nt here, and those of us who were in motior he beautiful harbor in row or sail boat ed to keep our eyes open, but every pil- g1im who put his foot on shore went to sleep then and tlere as inevitably as if it were of sleepers in fairy At 4 p. m., when we left, it was with considerable difticulty that we collected al! our passengers, who were found nid-nid-no‘ding all about town—in churches, hotel parlors, at street-corners, and anywhere that they hap- pened to drop. It was only the other day that the city of Norfolk by a vote of the people rejected the proposition to appropriate money to build the railroad west that is to lift the city out of its drowsy, lifeless condition, and put it on the path of progress. It must reconsider this vote, and set upon the work of making Nortolk a city commensurate with ita great advantages, else all the rest of the world will lose patience with the place. THE HOMEWARD TRIP was made most enjoyably, and there was a pub- lic meeting in the cabin, with enthusiastic Admi- ral Brown and Captain Denty, and hoping that the Lady ef the Lake might long continue to make excursion trips of the sort, and that when- all our pleasant might be there to see. = ——— CONDITIONS OF PEACE. What Bismarck Says. Acorrespondent of the New York Tribune, who had an interview with Count Bismarck on August 28th—four days before the surrender at Sedan—gives the following account of it: “I broke ground by asking Count Bismarck what were likely to be the conditi of peace demanded by the King of Pr "8 govern- ment. He answered at once, with ‘appar- ent frankness and in the clearest manner in capital English. “There are three courses open to us,’ he said, “with regard to peace with France. We must sails agen of another £0 unprovoked and uncalled for attack by the French nation or the French government on our common Fatherland. No Minister who failed to do this could hold office for 9 week, for the opinion of all Germany would be against him. There are, as I said, three ways of stop- ing an attack on the Khine provinces. “First: We might make Alsace and Lorraine & neutral State like Luxemburg or Belgium, extending from the former country to Switzer- fad, and 20 be ting France and Prussia by & group of neutral States; but I confess it ap- pew vw me that neutralite of the existing small tates is already 60 ditlicuft to protect, and is at every moment capable of so many and such dangerous complications, that I do not think it would be worth while to make more neutral States and with them new duties and dangers. “Secondly: We might aunex Alsace and Lor- Taine, and hold them as conquered territory. But I am sure that this would not be looked on favorably by a majority of my German fellow countrymen. We are all most anxious to com- plete our unity; but we do not want any le smong us who are unwilling members of the German nation. That the Alsacians would be © t disloyal subjects of the King of Prussia, in avite of the great maj of them ing the German language and ot ig of Teutonic ori- ein, there can be no dou! “f)irdly: There remains to us then, asa third course, to take Metz and Strasburg, and to keep them. This is what we shall do. Strasburg par- ticularl absolutely needfal for the ot South Germany, which is at the mercy of a French army. So long as France possesses Strasburg there is nothing to stop a French in- vading army. Now, it would be very unfair if we were to leave our South German brethren he rae fought so bravely Then, » by holding Strasburg we always prevent any movement on the Khine. e uld ‘be able not only to march an army by the valley or the Main on Paris, but to take a French army marching on Mayence or Coblentz in fank and rear. So we have besieged Stras- vars ee oe when we have got reste eran town again we shall make a Gib- raltar of it.” I ventured then to say, ‘I see that the peo- = are iha — it in England lest your cellenc: ald cast @ covetous 2 Hollan ‘a eye upo “ Yes, 1 am aware that isan lish idea,” replied the Count; ‘ but, ines English ideas, it is not accepted out of the country of its Dirth. We want nothing in Germany that is not German, and Holland certainly is not German. Already Posen is looked upon with uo friendly eve by many of my countrymen asa non-Teu- tonic province.
