w The Board of Commissioners of

EB- The Board of Commissioners of
Public Works met in Baltimore ON the
9th ult., and appointed JOHN S. Orr
rINGs, GEoReE r. VIcKERs, JOSHUA VAN
SAINT, and JAMES l.. LAWN, of Baltimore;
j. M. ScHLEY, of Cumberland EDWARD
MEAIY, of Hagerstown; EDWARD SHRI-
YER, and EZRA HoycK, of Frederick
EDWARD HAMMOND, of Ellicotts' Mills;
and VIM. LINGAN GATHER, of this coun-
ty, Directors on the part of the State in
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Three of these gentlemen are "old
line Whigs;" the other seven are old
line Democrats; all jealous opponents Of
Know-nothingism, and the election of
its candidates. We have no doubt that
those of the Board of Directors, repre-
senting the States interest in this great
and magnificent work, will discharge the
duties devolving upon them with superior
Judgment and prudence, rejecting great
credit upon themselves, as also upon the
Commissioners, from whom they have
received their appointment. We are
quite sure the interest of the State will
be well guarded, and the general utility
of the road be fully developed under
their management.
The appointment of General GATHER
is approved of by all whom we have
heard express an opinion; all admit his
capacity and fitness fer the place, and
none doubt his honesty of purpose in the
discharge of his duty to the public. This
is the first time that Montgomery county
has had director in the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad and we predict much good
to our county from this appointment.

NO GREAT HAND FOR ANGELS.

An old laly entered well-known
book store, and inquired for treatise
on angels. She made the inquiry of a
boy, and was told that they had no such
book.
This remark caught the ears of the
principal salesman, and as he always
sells something TO everybody who enters
the store, he stepped forward and ad-
dressed the old lady.
"We're Just out of the book you re IN
search of ma'sm, but we've got Fox's
Book of Martyrs. crammed full OF pic
tures-splendid book for present"
claw sakes dew tell !" said she,
"why here's lot of men a sawin' loor
fellows head off,"
"That gentleman. there, ma'am, "
explained the salesman, calculating the
picture, sis taking a melted lead sanga
rec. and the other individual is about TO
be perforated into the intestInes with a
patent manure fork. l guess you'd
like it much better than work on an
gels"
"Well, now, that are is better book,
1 guess, than anything else; what
mought the price be ?"
Twenty shillings, ma'am; very cheap
book that"
"Well, dew it up. My darter's jiS
got married, and 1 calkilate to make her
a present. She wanted sulhin about an
gels, but 1 never was no great hand for
angels, nohow."
The lady handed out four parcels.
each containing fifty cOppers, and COM
pleted the amount by adding three bat
tered shillings and dubious looking
sixpence. the whole sayoring powerfully
of msccoboy snuff.

HOW TO PRESERVE WOMEN

Under this head the Springfield Mass
Republican makes the following very
sensible suggestions, which if more
adopted by the sex, would produce a
class of women much better fitted for the
responsible duties of their position, than
the great mass who are daily and hourly
seen promenading the sidewalks. Let
those for whose benefit it is intended,
carefully treasure the receipt and apply
the remedies
There is nothing in this world that we
think so much of as we do of women
Our mother is a woman-wife, sisters,
pretty cousins, are all women; and the
daughters will be, if Heaven spare
them!) they live long enough. And
then there is the love of women in gene
raj, which we do not deny. A fine, mag
ni6cent specimen of the sex, full of life
and health-a ripe, red cheek, and lip
and flashing eye. is something that does
one good to look at, as she illuminates
the humdrum sidewalks of everyday
streets. A North River steamboat un-
der full headway, with colors flying,
is rather pretty sight, rather stirring
and inspiring; and we pull up our fired
nag on the shore to see her pass. and ad-
mire the swell she cuts. Comparatively
however, the steamer sinks into insignif-
cance,- or some other very deep water,
by the side of well kept, well dressed
woman. There is no rubbing it out; wo-
men are an ornament, charm, blessing,
beauty and bliss of life, (man's life, we
mean, of course, any means that can be
devised for preserving them should be
publicly made known. They are differ
ent from any other kind of fruit You
cannot pickle them; vinegar absolutely
spoils them. You cannot do them up in
sugar and set them in cold room, with
paper soaked in brandy over their
mouths. You cannot put them into cans
and seal them up air-tight without injur-
ing their flavor Now, as men are so
dependent on women for .life's. choicest
blessings, proper mode of preserving
them becomes matter of great moment,
and we are sule that the public will
thank US for an unfailing receipt. Here
they have it:
Wash clean in cool water as often as
three times week in cold weather, and
every day in warm weather, and then
rub dry with g coarse towel. If the
skin takes on blush under the friction
of the towel, so much the better. 1t be-

AN EAGLE MATCHED AND NURSED
SHANGHAI.

About six weeks ago Mr.. Robert
Cameron, who resides on the Miami riv
er, few miles below Hamilton, Butler
county, Ohio, discovered bald eagles
nest on huge sycamore tree standing
near the river, and one of his sons, an
active and adventurous fellow, by "tall
climbing reached the eyrie, and made
prize of two eggs of the bird of our
country, which were at once deposited
under "setting hen, and in two weeks,
a fine lusty eaglet picked the shell, and
made his appearance. The Cincinnati
Commercial" says-"One Of the eggs
proved failure, and this, with the eggs
of the hen, were thrown away, 1t being
considered that the barnyard fowl would
have quite enough TO attend to in the
person of the feathered prince imperial
and the chicken and eaglet are both, we
are pleased to learn, doing as well as
could be expected. The plebeian nurse
fowl is, we are informed by Mr.. Cameron,
apparently, at times. very much aston
ished at the eccentricities of his royal
highness the infant bird of Jove, whose
keen. unfinching eyes. and stout. sharp.
crooked beak, and appetite for fish and
flesh, are slightly terrible, and beyond
her appreciation. Still she attempts to
relieve his wants with true motherly de-
votion, and in trying to induce him to
take promenade, clucks at him vainly
by the hour. His legs are not servicea-
BILE, and disclaiming to crawl after her,
he looks with eager aspirations, as be-
comes his illustrious race, skyward. He
is very fond of fish, and luxuriates in rats
and snakes, though he is not yet strong
enough to skin them for himself. The
quantity of skinned garter snake that he
consumes is queer, he being competent to
dispose of almost his weight in that arti-
Gle of prepared snake"
