Maryland, but living elsewhere, In 1881, was as
follows '.' "-"'.''
In the seeded States 26,54O
In the non.seceded States y l0E,Os7

A BRIGADE OF THE RIGHT KIYD.-Captain
Esbert L. Viele, engineer of the seventh regi.
ment, New York State militia, is about to or.
ganize brigade. Captain Viele is graduate
