ATTACK AND DEFENcE.-At a late tenn
perance celebration in Weymouth, the chair
man read the following toast, which he pre-
sumed was from lady:
The Young Gentlemen Of Weymomh-
Though they generally enjoy the blessings
of temperance, of virtuous and industrious
habits, still far too many of them are Won
derfully destitute of the moral courage tc
enjoy welded life.
Whereupon the following answer was
sent to the chair:
The Young Ladies of Weymomh-Tho'
they are all Westinghouse to man, and
heartily engaged in every moral enterprise
still does their list of old maids show they
are wonderfully deficient in power to gain
The affections of the young men.

SELLING FEMALES Ar AUCTIoN.-A sale
of unmarried women is annually held in
Babylon. In every district they assemble
on certain day of every year, all the viz
gins of manageable age. The most beau
tiful are first put up. and the man who bids
the largest sum Of money gains possession
of her. The second in personal appearance
follows, the bidders crafty themselves with
handsome wives according to the depths of
their purses. There are in Babylon some
girls for which no bid is offered, yet these
are also disposed of, so provident are the
Babylonians. When all the beautiful girls
are sold, the crer orders the most delormed
to stand up, and after he has openly deman-
ded who will marry her with small sum
she is at length adjudged to the man who is
satisfied with the least, and in this manner
the money arising from the sales ofthe hand,
some, serves as portions to those who are
of either disagreeable looks or have any
other imperlection.

solitary leaf, but neither storm nor blight
can fade it. Like the perfume that dead
flower sends forth, it is sweet when all the
gay sunshine has departed when all its

memory; it is the last lingering beam that
gIows long after sun and stars have set-a
refuge from the tempestuous and bereaving

Mr. WILLIAM FRANKLIN, who

his farm COW which had three calves at
one birth, few days since--all three of
which are doing well, we are informed, and
are remarkably fine calves. This is some
thing new in the order of Nature, and may
have tendency to astound naturalists and

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-The Annapolis
Republican publishes the opinion of the
Court of Appeals, delivered by Judge Mar
tin, in the case of j. B. Howell Us the State
of Maryland. The case grew out of the act
of the Legislature of Maryland of 1st April
1914, laying tax on property, and which
enumerated as among such property liable
to taxation ''the interest or proportion in all
ships or other vessels, whether in or out
.oc port, owned by persons resident of the
'State''
In conformity with the provisions Of this
act, an assessment was imposed OH the ap-
pellant on account of his interest or pro-
portion in certain vessels, and this case was
brought before the Court to test the legality
of the law imposing the tax, which it was
contended, is incompatible with the privi-
leges and immunities conferred by the law
of Congress licensing vessels, and repugnant
to the constitution and laws of the United
States.
Judge Martin, in the very able opinion
delivered, reviews the whole question at
large, and announces the decision of the
Court as follows:
We can perceive no repugnancy between
the law of Maryland imposing a tax upon
this property, and the acts of Congress I'M
der which an exemption from it has been
claimed by the appellant.
We think, therefore, that the imposition
of this tax was constitutional exercise of
the taxing power of the State, and that the
judgment of the County Court must be
affirmed.

DEcIsIoN.-It has been decided by the
General Court of Virginia, at its present

had been so discharged, the prisoner was
ordered to be freed from custody.

HE MARYLAND MINING CoMPANY.-
We learn from the Cumberland Civilian.
that the Railroad and work of the MARYLAND
Mining Company are rapidly progressing
towards completion. That paper says:
The grading is all completed, and the
timber superstructure laid down on about
seven miles on the line of Railway. The
unfinished portion, the two heavy Tunnel
sections remaining alone to be completed.
One Of these tunnels, 240 feet in length,
was opened last week, and ten days will
place it in condition to receive the super
structure. The remaining tunnel, $40 feet
long, requires about 140 feet vet to be ex-
cavated, and the miners are pushing it. with
increased vigor night and day it is expect
ed to be in readiness, as well as the entire
road for coal transportation, early in Janu-
airy next.
The depot at the mines, and the arrange
ments for the asserting and loading coal,
will be of the most ample character, and
the plan of mining operations will admit of
an expansion to the amount of 100000
tons per annum, for series of years with
out modification.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, under date of the 18th inst.
says:
1t is rumored to-day that Mr.. Calhoun
will be called into the Cabinet by Mr.. Polk
in case the difficulties with England should
continue, and that Mr.. Walker, being a
Pennsylvania, will be appointed to the va
cant bench of the Supreme Court give
this version as heard it; but it is impor-
tant for the reason that it shows the anxiety
Of the public mind on this subject.
Mr.. Calhoun's quescent policy is the only
one that will prevent war, if all signs
are not deceptive.
1t is time that we made some preparations
for peace, or some for war. At present, we
take such a course as tends to provoke war.
without preparing for it.
learn that Mr.. Packenham has received
that the British insurance Off
ces have refused to grant policies of insur-
ance without the war clause! The bare
mention of the fact by Mr.. P. is sufficient
TO show the state of feeling on the subject
Moreover, Mr. Packenham has stated here
that the story of his recall, or intended re-
call, is untrue.
Again, after the message appeared, he
sent dispatches to the various British squa-
drons, at Halifax, in the West Indies, on
the Pacific, sc.
How it can be supposed that the negotl-
alton will be reopened by Mr.. Packe'nham
by order of the British Government, dc
not see.
AS Congress is nearly unanimous in lhei
determination to stand by the 49th paral lei
it is presumed that they will, next week
manifest some concern as to the mode c'l
sustaining that position.

Hughlett, of Tolbot county, Nd, died at

where he discharged his duties with ability.
A few months ago he accepted the office of
State Collector for Talbot county, and we
believe was instrumental in giving better
tone to the public feeling there in relation
to the payment of the arrears of State taxes.

Tuesday last being the day set apart for
the consideration of the resolutions for the

The opening speech will be made by Mr.

will probably continue for several weeks,
after which the resolution will be adopted
by vote of about $50.

the same correspondent, of locket and

DEATH OF COMMODORE ELLIorT.-We
learn that Com. Jesse D. Elliott, comman-

on Wednesday evening, the 10Th instant, at
his clearinghouse in that city. The Com
modore, says the Philadelphia Ledger, has
been i'll for the last six months of COM
plication of disorders, including a disease
of the heart. He was unconscious, we learn,
for the last forty-eight hours previous to
his death. He was in the sixty-second year
Of his age at the time of his decease. Com
modore Elliott has played a conspicuous
part in our naval history, and rendered i'm
portant services to his country. His death
is loss to the service as we'll as to the
public and his friends, by whom he was much
respected. Thus pass away one by one
the veterans of the late war, whose bravery
added to the glory and renown of the Anne
