Decoration of the City,

We had no reason to hope that the pee
pie would make the grand display that the day
revealed. Although confident of the sympa-
thy of every true heart, and the encouragement
Of every actual friend of Liberty, we are happily
disappointed in the extent, variety and magnih-
cence of this grand outward token of the feeling
within.

FALSE REroRTs.-In quoting our announce

GAS there have been more than a dozen differ
ent persons already mentioned by the newspa-

the last appointment mentioned needs confrma-

With single exception-and that a case in
which We had the emphatic assurance Of a cred

statement Of any fact of public interest, nor, to
our knowledge, Of any other kind, in the seven

visit Of Gen. Sc oft to tho Maryland In

Major General Winfield Scott paid visit last
evening to the Fair Of the Maryland Institute,
and was most enthusiastically received by the
vast assemblage that thronged the hall in every
part The General was accompanied by Thos.
Swami, esq, Brigadier General Jones, and seve-
raj other distinguished gentlemen. Before en-
tering the saloon, the illustrious vister was
received and welcomed to the hall, in the man
ayers room, by the President Of the Institute,
Joshua Vansant, esq, who, after few appro-
pirate remarks concluded with the following
happily expressed sentiment, which was drunk
in sparkling champagne:
"Our guests Of the occasion, and especially
General Scott, who, embalmed in the hearts Of
the nation, is always the nations guest"
To this the General briefly and eloquently
responded, and concluded by Offering this sen
timent:
"The Mechanical and Industrial Arts Fos-
ter them, and our country will be independent
Of the world"
After this brief interchange Of sentiment,
the General was escorted up through the saloon
to the rostrum under the south gallery, the In
dependent Grays' band performing /" Hail to
the chief" whilst the walls Of the east hall re-
u
were packed as one solid mass in every part Of
the saloon. The galleries were crowded to
their utmost capacity, chiefly by ladies, who
waived their handkerchiefs in tokens OF vel
come and we have seldom witnessed more
entertaining and exciting scene.
On reaching the platform, the General was
conducted to the rostrum, where he made q
short address in an answer to urgent calls OF
the audience. He alluded to the building in
which he stood, and, paying passing compli-
ment to the industry and zeal Of Baltimore me-
chanics, spoke of the many kind receptions
which in times gone by he had received from
the hospitable citizens OF the Monumental City.
He recounted the kindness extended to him here
in 1914, when suffering from wound received
Mt the "Battle of Lundy's Lane !" he was kindly
furnished with house and attendance by the
authorities. He also spoke Of battles in Mexico,
and paid high tribute to the bravery Of the
| Baltimore volunteers.
| IL is almost needless TO say that his address
was well received. When he concluded three
hearty cheers were given him that made the
building tremble. After passing through the
machine room, the General and other guest,
withdrew, the Band playing in splendid style
the Star Spangled Banner and other appropriate
airs. Clipper

The Army Asylum.


An advertisement in the morning papers says
that mo site having been approved 6y the E1ecu-
tee for this institution in the District Of Column
bia, the Board of Commissioners invite owners
of farms for sale, containing from ninety to two
hundred acres, and within three and half
miles Of Pennsylvania avenue, to send in a de-
scription of the same, specifying the buildings,
the number of acres in wood and the number in
cultivation, advantages in water, roads, and
building materials. In each case the cash price
Of the farm will be stated. The clearest title
will be required. Address Captain S. Hamil-
ton, Secretary of the Board, War Office, before
noon on the 28th instant" We have heard the
opinion expressed by men of the most accurate
information on this subject, that it will be i'm
possible to obtain more fitting site than has
been recommended by the late Commissioner
Others, however, are of the opinion that the
Asylum should be at the rivers side, where the
eXpanse of water the dioramic view, and the
thoroughfare of this natural highway, may con-
tribute to the happiness of the unfortunate men
whose welfare is to be promoted.

in Pennsylvania, Daniel NJ. Smyser, esq,
citizen Of Adams county, Pa, was elected Pres
ident Judge (by 800 majority of the Judicial
District composed of Bucks and Montgomery
counties. What adds to the singularity of this
choice is the fact, that Mr. Smyser is not a

Governor, 1000 majority, while Mr. Smyser is

mi, world is great grass-plot. Beyond US,

This world is great grass-plot. Beyond u.s.
Il is yelyety and smooth; around US, it is irreg-
Mar and uncomfortable. The oblique point OF
vision affords the best prospect. Adventures
keep moving westward in pursuit OF improve
ment. Green pastures and still waters are near
us but afar off We have hopes of something
yet better The gold of California glitters
richly at this distance, and many go to gather
it, and many perish in the attempt; but the
gold-hunters Of California see still brighter
gold at more remote place, and they are
Fastening to it. There are large numbers OF
persons waiting passage to the new gold dig
gings of New South Wales" says late Califor-
mia paper, :" and several ships have sailed
during the past week or two; and should the
next arrival from that country confirm former
reports there will be a perfect rush of emf
grants for those regions" 1t would be q glo-
rious thing for oil these people if this gold
were to disappear as they approach, like the
phantom islands sailors have so often seen.
Then would California and New South Wales
bring forth harvests to reward and bless the
hand Of frugal industry, and then would the
sons Of toll be prosperous and happy. Is it
not misprint in the Bible, where the command
to labor is spoken Of as curse? What do
learned and pious commentators say of thiss
