DEMoREsrs MoNTHLY.-In offering the first
spring number of Demorest's Monthly Magazine
to the press and the public the Publisher begs
to express his Acknowledgements to both for the
favor which has been so cordially extended to
his efforts, and for the constant and substantial
encouragement which he has received.
He begs still further to trespass on the kind
ness already shown, by calling attention to the
addition of two pages more of reading matter to
the Magazine, to the excellence of the literary
matter, to the beauty and profuseness of the il
Illustrations, to the originality and high quality
of the music, and its careful adapability to par
lor needs and uses to the authority, complete
ness and reliability of the fashions, to the money
value Of the plain patterns and finally the CON
scientious care with which every department is
filed, the whole being considered with reference
to its interest and usefulness to ladies and the
household Address W. Jennings Demorest,
473 Broadway, New York.

The Maryland Legisla ture.

In consequence of Friday being Washingtou's
Birthday, the Senate and House of Delegates
adjourned over from Thursday until Monday.
Nothing of much importance has taken place
since our last report except the passage through
the Senate of The Hartford and Cecil Boom Bill
In the House, ON Monday, some little stir was
gotten up over an order offered 10y Mr.. Coleman
of Baltimore, in reference to charge of corrup-
ton and bribery made against the Legislature
generally, by some Rev. politician of Baltimore
city, bnt as the charge was general, the order
was not passed. During the week number of
local bills were passed. Of no general interest.
Mr.. Carmichael has reported ii bill, from the
committee on the judiciary, of some importance
to Railroad Companies and travellers. 1t pro-
vides that ea,h passenger on a railroad, who
shall have paid fare, shall have the right to have
carried in the cars or place provided for that
purpose in the train in which he or she may be
passenger, without additional charge above
passage fare, his or her personal clothing or
other goods, not exceeding, inclusive of the
trunk or box in which it may be contained, 225
pounds in weight and $3.50 in value. Also that
no railroad company shall under any circum-
stances be liable for loss of or damage 10 any
baggage or property belonging to any passen-
ger who shall have paid fare, beyond the sum of
$3.50, unless it shall be proved that the excess in
value thereof over that sum was truly declared
to the agents of the company at the time OF its
delivery for. transportation, and that the sum
charged by the railroad company for such trans
portation, over and above passage fare, was paid;
provided that the said declaration shall not re-
lieve the claimant from proving the actual value
of the articles alleged to have been lost or dam
aged, but in no event shall there be any recovery
beyond the value thus declared.
The bill repeating all laws prescribing differ
ent mode of punishment for negroes from that
inflicted on white PERSONS, has become alaw,
and the punishment for whites and blacks is
now uniform throughout the State.

SHOCKING AFFAIR IN A BALLROOM.
"A shocking scene occurred at ball at
Thurmaston, near Leicester, England, on
Wednesday night, Jan. 10th, given by a
gentleman of that village to party of
friends. 1t seems that the ball had MOI,
been long begun when the dress of one of
the ladies caught fire through being
brought in too close contact with the fire
crate. Becoming terrified by her situa-
ton, she rushed about tbs room, and ig-
nited the dresses of three other ladies',
which, being of such light material,
were speedily in blaze. Mr. Jacques,
house-surgeon Of the Leicester Infrmary,
who happened to be one of the party,
aided with others, extipguished the flames
as quickly as possible, but not before the
ladies had been considerably burnt-two
of them seriously SO. Their injuries were
at once attended to, but, at last accounts,
they were not out of danger. The scene
in the ballroom may be more readily i'm
agined than described. 1t is hardly ne.
cessary to add that the occurrence of such
catastrophe bad the effect of bringing
the evenings entertainment to an abrupt
termination.

The c mage for the Paris Exposition.

The Philadelphia Inquirer of Friday says
The coins intended by the United States Govern
mrnt fr III Paris Exposition were yesterday
finished. Their manufacture Was entrusted to
the Mint of ibis city. They consist of sets in du-
plicate OF each of the coins Of the country gold,
silver, nickel and bronze. The gold coins are
d"uble-eages, eagles, halt-eagles, three dollars,
two and ii half and one dollar pieces. The silver
coins are IA dollar, balEdolnr, quarter, dime,
half-dme and three cent E:ieces. The nickel are
five ana three cent pieces, and the bronze two
and one cent. All these were made in polished
dies In addition TO the fineness of their manu-
acture, for the exquisite finish of which they are
remarkable, each coin is mirror in itself, as
perfect as plate glass. They are all dated the
current year, and are similar to the coins now
used, excepting the five cent. nickel, which has
not the rays which in last year coinage radia-
ted from the figure 5. The coins are in a velvet
case, of blue ground and crimson border, form
ing, with white satin cover the national COL
ors. The coins are sunk in the blue satin, and
covered by heavy plate glass. On the inside of
the case are printed the wordS-"Coinage of the
United States" beautifully bordered by fringe
of ferns, and immorteles Below the arched
scroll OF words is an eagle, standing on shield.
AS the above described United States Coins
were manufactured "for the Paris Exposition"
would it not have been well if duplicates had
been manufactured for an American Exposition,
they are much greater curiosity in this coun-
try, than they will be in France.

The Military Bill.

Ex-Governor Brown, of Georgi, is out in a
letter t. the ,eople of that State urgirg them to
accept the Military Government Ri just passed
by Congress, as the best terms that will ever
be again offer them by Congress. He urges
the people of the counties and cities OF the State
to assemble in mass meetings or conventions,
an | Iass resolutions calling upon the Governor
to convene the Legislature at once to provide for
the adoption of the congressional proposition.
He thinks that the adoption Of this measure
will insure the State representation in the Ma
tonal Legislature, ard he may be thus far right,
but if we are to judge from past experience,
it is difficult to say whether their repre-
sentatives will even be admitted after the
adoption of this proposition. Every rational
man in tie land supposed that Cong ess was in
earnest in 1861, when it declared by the Crit
tenden Resolutions, that the arwas only for the
restoration of the Union but we have lived long
enough TO see that this was farce, and that tie
war was prosecuted for no such purpose. The
war has now been over two years, and for all
that time Stevens, Wade, Sumner and their sat-
ielites all over the country have steadily resisted
every effort to bring the States together upon
any plan just or unjust, except only upon such
terms us would keep themselves perpetualiy in
power, and prevent almost one halt of the people
in the land firm participating in the govern
ment, only in so far MS they bear mos ofts bur-
dens.

CECIL CoUNTY.-We gather the following
items from a letter of the Port Deposit cores
pondent of the Cecil Wig:
On the 18th, at | l P. NJ, the ice started, gorged
and backed the water across the street at Rock
Run. On the 18th, at Top. NJ, rain fell, the ice
started, and again The water rose over the grade
of the railroad. On Saturday the river attained
its greatest height this lreshet covering the street
in many places filing cellars, moving fences,
lumber, &c, and standing three feet deep on the
floor Of the NJ f. lecture room. All of the
w.arves were damaged, except that of Tome
Co. Some lumber was carried away.-but
nothing like the anticipated damage was DONE
The town bridge over the Still House run was
carried away but put in order for travel at once.
Our mail boy is indomitable. Last Monday
he started on horseback with two heavy mail
bags, when about n mile from town he was
thrown. Letting the horse take his course, the
boy shouldered the bags and truGged to Perry
vile and brought the return mail on his back -
The present arrangement is unpleasant now
when the business season opens it will be a nui.
sance. Cannot Mr.. Oman improve the plan?
The turn-table at the depot was set on stone
four feet square on new ground The turn-tnble
and locom' tive weigh fifty tons, and the stone
settled so that the table could not be used The
Company have removed it and are now driving
piles to secure permanent foundation. They
have connected their road with the Columbia
grade, and tie latter Company will lay the track
through own as soon as they complete a certain
amount Of filling for Mr.. Heckart.

Washingtons Biz h-Day in Havre de

HAvRE DE GRACE, Feb. 18th, 1876

... HAVRE DE GRACE, Feb. 18th, 1867.
Mr.. Edior Our town is very bare of news.
The 22d., Washiugton's birthday, has passed
without anything TO mark i, from any other day,
except the few banners flying from the mast,
heads of the lew vessels in our harbor and the
steamer Maryland was gaily dressed with flags.
These were the only visible signs through the day
that it was the anniversary Of the birthday of
the Father Of the whole United States; but in
the evening of TIE 22d a small company gathered
at n private house to pay some small triute Of
respec, 10 the memory of our beloved Washing,
ton, at which place the company "rripped the
light fantastic toe" until the wee small hours of
night and thus passed the glorious birthday of
Washington. But not so in the cities, where
with the rising Of the sun came the booming Of
cannon over the still water, and waking the
sleeping multitude with martial strains Of music,
and the hurried tread of soldiery eager 10 do
homage to the memory Of the honored dead.

"THE DEAR OLD FLAG.'-Bunting,
the cloth of which flags are made, is man
featured at only two mills in this country
in one of which Gen. B. Z. Butler is an
owner. 1t costs about ten cents yard in

money, the new tariff bill puts duty of
$l.35 per yard upon it This is the
