A snirituaI Meeting.

At a Spiritual meeting in New Jersey on
Sunday, one of the mediums, Miss Bullene.
gave the following account of the reception OF
General Scott in he spirit land:
General Scott was received by all the
spirits en- masse At his right stood Wash
ington Behind him was Wellington, the
Iron Duke. At his left appeared the late Gar
of Russia. Before him, with folded arms,
Napoleon was stationed as the representative
of France. Jefferson, Madison, Taylor, Lin
coin, and other deceased Presidents of this
Republic, whose names she had clearly fer
gotten, acted as the reception committee. All
the dead heroes of the recent war were on
duty, with many thousands of other famous
people, whom Miss Bulene would not name
The reception ceremony was exceedingly
modest. A little child, whom the General
had dearly loved, was deputed to present him
with a crown of laurel, and as it was placed
upon the hero's head, there were exclama-
tions from the vast throng."

agement of Messrs. DuFFIELD & WALDRoS,
gentlemen who have had ample experience
in various theatres in the West and South.
The company had scarcely arrived in the
city, the bills had only been posted few
hours, and consequently the house was thin.
"Don Caesar De Bazan" was very creditably
performed The song, Scenes that are
Brightest" by Miss LAURA WALDRoS, who
enacted the part Of Mariana was encored.
She is q pleasing young actress, and her sing
ing is destined to make her prime favorite.
The musical olio after the first piece, in
which the singing was done by Misses LAURA
FANNY, and JULIA WALDRoN, elected much
applause. The farce Of the Young Widow
was really excellent. Mr.. ANDREW WMD
RON is capital comedian. There is q
sprightly grotesqueness in his acting that
continually surprises one into fresh laughter

The Troubles i'm Maryland.

We print elsewhere a full account of the
appeal made to Gov. Swami for the removal
OF the Police Commissioners, as well as the
charges made against them.
Gov. Swami promises to execute faithfully
the laws and the constitution OF the State.
His reply is in excellent spirit and no one
can complain Of it.
There is great excitement in Baltimore,
and some Of the Republicans threaten vio-
lence, which is great mistake. Let them
appeal to the courts. 1t is no light matter
to resort to force. The courts must and no
doubt will decide justly. Gov. Swami prom
ises for his part to execute laws without
party bias.
One thing we notice in the address to the
Governor on behalf of those who ask for the
removal of the Police Commissioners. They
say: I'VE have no remedy in the world, in
defence of our rights, to defend ourselves
against this breach and violation Of The grea
inaltenaJle right Of the ballot-bor, 'chtch be
longs to every freeman an the land" /
this language is used sincerely, we must be
lieve that those who utter it are in favor o
giving the suffrage to the colored men o
Maryland We do not know that the class
ex-rebes and rebel sympathizers, who make
this appeal, have hitherto urged universe
suffrage in Maryland but we hope they viii
be taken at their word by the Republicans
Let universal suffrage be proposed to them
no better platform is needed than the sen
tence we have quoted from the address +

A CORRESPONDENT writing from Jackson
county, Texas, lays the loss of crops there
is owing to the Incidence Of the negroes. He
hired forty-fve hands and planted three hun.
dred and seventy-five acres in cotton and
corn, and gave extra rations, but when pick
ing time came on they would not 60 to work
earlier than 8 q. m, quit at II l-2, went to
work at IL P. m, and quit again at 9 p
IN. Did not pick over 100 pounds day.
He tried to get more picking by giving
prices and pay by the 100, but all was una,
vailing. The worms came on and he could
not pick out fast enough, and he made only
thirty bales, and fully hundred were lost
on the ground by their refusal to gather. i
it had not been for worms and poor hands
he would have made two hundred bales ol
cotton and five thousand bushels Of corn
His corn was permitted to rot in the hot
weather and thus he only gathered seven
teen hundred bushels.-Montgomery DAILY

lished biography of Charlotte Corday, who
killed the infamous Marat on July IA, 1898,
and was guillotined for the deed From this
it appears that, instead of being Normandy
peasant, as generally believed, she was a
noble by blood as well as by intellect, and
that younger sister Of Corneille, the dra-
matte poet, was among her ancestry. An
elder cousin OF hers, who survived until 1851,
remembered Charlotte as one who was grave

The London Spectator AYERS that the Rus
sian collection in the library Of the British
Museum is more complete than any library
in Russia. Owing to the severe censorship
of the Russian press the thoughts Of Russian
and Polish liberals are forced to seek publi-
cation elsewhere. A considerable and in
creasing number Of books in those languages
are published at Brussels, Paris, London,
Berlin, Geneva and other towns. These books
are of course not to be found in the libraries
of st. Petersburg and Moscow. Similarly,
