A Bag of Wind.

We are informed that Train. in hi. lur
le<que ON cergymeu and TRADE against the
Christian churches, last Sunday evening.
took occasion TO spit his venom at us. be-
cause We did not. like most of our brethren
of the quill fall down and worship him.
We are not in the least surprised. That
he Ainchel indicates that our shot was well
aimed. and the wound merited. The item
which excited his ire. was SO worded as to
give no offence unless the coat fitted.
1t appears the garment was at once appro-
rriatel. and the STANDARD made the OBJ
iect of his vile abuse. We asserted that
Train was remarkable for his impudencc and
we challenge denial from those who have
heard him speak. Wesaid he was addicted
to riding hobbies, and his life history more
than proves it. lie is on the alert to seize
upon anything which can by any posi-
bility add to his notoriety. lie has been
a most persistent advertiser of himself and
the consequence is he is notorious. He
now endeavors to make the public believe
that notoriety and greatness are synonyms.
Just there we differ with him. Emperor
Norton l. of San Francisco or John Butts
Of Victoria, are notorious, but nobody sets
up the claim that they are great men. J.
G. Hccnan is known wherever G. I. Train
is, but no one possessing common sense
envies him the reputation he has achieved.
Drake 4 Co. are known where Train foot
has never been. and where his name has
never been uttered, but are they great, be-
cause they compound Plantation Bitters
and know how to humbus mankind: j.
Wilkes Booth became notorious, the world
over. but who classes him with the good or
great? Trains whole mind has been for
years applied to single object: to make
money aud fame for g. +. Train. lie is
sordid. for when solicited to deliver lee
turc in aid of a charitable cause in San
Francisco, he declined and gave as u rea-
/ son that he was '.on the make" He wears
a Fenian badge, while it is denied through
the public press. that he belongs to the
Order. He claims to be the special ad.
vocate of Irishmen, yet hcreprcscnts them
as ignorant and stupid, and illustrates by
mimicking the Irish bailitf in the English
court of justice.
How applicable are the lines:
OFT has il been our lot 10 mark
Some proud. Connected. talking spark,
With eyes that scarcely serve at most
To guard their master gaiust post;
Yet roGn,; tie world the blade has been,
To see wha.evef's to be SEEN
Returning from his finished tour.
Grown ten times perter than before.
Whsie,cr word you chance TO drop,
The Travelled fool your mouth will stop,
SIR, II my iud-men; you will allow,
Ire seen. aud sure J ought TO know.

CHICAGO, July l2.-The com mercial OK

tervicw with Brigham Young at his resi-
dence in Salt Lake City, yesterday. Dur.
ing the conversation he told Senator Trum
bull that he would probably hear of some
Federal officials being put out of the Ter

was for good and sufficient reasons.
Trumbull advised him before taking
such step to make known his grievances

violation Of law to 90 UNPUBLISHED, and that
it would not be safe to modest public Off

Young said Grant had removed only the
Mormon officials in Utah. for no reason cx-
cept they were Mormons. Brigham fur
thcr declared that they would not obey the
law of Congress prohibiting polygamy, be-
cause Congress has no right to interfere in
such matters.
Mr.. Trumbull replied. declining to dis
Gus the matter. but said that the law. at
all events, would be upheld and obeyed.

bic sensation among the members of the
party. The Mormons treated the excur.

and Harry Seymour arc entitled to great
credit for just this kind of enterprise.
They not only furnish the public with
many articles in wood and iron at prices
which machinery alone can allow. but they
make the machi"ery which enables them
to do this. In their shop may be found a
complete planning and moulding machine,
every part of which was made by Mr.. Clark,
and after plans of his own designing. Be-
sides this. the morticing machine, the steam
drill, and the new spoke lathe, upon which
Mr.. Seymour is now at work, are all mod.

greatly reduce the cost Of work they are
designed to supply. \ visit to the work

PLAIN SPELKINa.-At the late meeting
of the stockholders of the Queen Anne's
Railroad, Col. l.. Roberts being called
upon to address the meeting, spoke sub
stantially as follows:
"When the question was submitted to
the people in 1866, they almost unani-
m0usly determined to have railroad. 1t
was then expected that every man owning
land along the line of the road would free
ly give the right of way, but when we
come to investigate the matter, it is found
that but very few are willing to do SO.
The balance squeeze the company for eve
ry dollar they can get, and apparently
strive to break the road down. This ar
CUES badly for the generosity of our peo-
pie. lie had hoped and believed there
was some generosity in Queen Anne's, but
he now had considerable misgivings on
that point. In Talbot county they pay
one dollar per farm for land damages. In
st. Mary's and other southwestern coun-
ties, the farmers not only give the land
but all the ties. Gentlemen residing along
the line of the proposed road from Mas
sey's to Elkton offer all the land the road
wants free of charge. Those people ap-
preciate railroads; but some of our people
men who own land which will be great
ly enhanced in value by the road, even
charge for attending on jury for day
or two assessing land damages. Is this
Queen Anne's enterprise and generosity
If so. he hoped no other people were afflic
ted with such. If we want a railroad VIZ
must make some sacrifices to get it. He
bsped our people would do better in flu.
ture, and not strive to embarrass the direc
tors in their endeavors to complete tn
construction of the road"

STORE ROBBED AND BURNED.-A store
known as "The Battery" built upon a
pier in Broad Cove, Tilghman's Island
Talbot county, was attacked by party of
dredgers from dredging vessels lying in
Black Walnut Harbor, one night last week
and after being robbed of everything it
contained, was fred and entirely destroyed.
The building belonged to Captain Robert
L. Kinnamon, of Tilghman's Island, who
built it on pier, several hundred yards
from the shore, and stocked it with groce-
ries and liquors for the purpose of supply
ing the numerous vessels that constantly
make harbor in the cove. Recently Capt.
Kinnamon sold out his stock and rented
the property to Philadelphia captain, and
the latter had just got in store large
stock of provisions and liquors. The pro-
prietor was absent at the time of the at
tack, and Of the two clerks, one was on the
island, and the other was soon overpower-
ed and driven off by the rufians-glad to
escape with his life. There are no means

THE PENINsULAR RAILRoAD.-Thc ru-
NOR in some Of the Peninsular papers that
the express train between Wilmington and
Cris6eld was soon to commence running
again on the Delaware Railroad is incor-
rect. 1t is, however, probable that as the
fruit and truck season opens increased
freight accommodations will be afforded,
and that the steamboat between Crisfeld
and Norfolk will make daily instead Of tri-
weekly trips.
For ourselves we do not expect to see
through express trains put upon the Della
aware Railroad again until the road is ex-
tended to Cherrystone, but some, more
sanguine, expect that one express will
commence running as soon as business at
the South somewhat revives.- WI. Com.

The New York Citizen says that pa
per is shortly to be started in Philadelphia,
to advocate the establishment Of an Empire
in this country. 1t also suys that paper
to be called the Imperialist, will make its
appearance within week in that city. Its
prospectus is already before the public. A
quotation from it runs as follow:
The creed of the Imperialist is revo-
lutionary its mission Is to prepare the
minds of the American. people for the reyo-
luton, that has already begun throughout
the country"-tnus announcing that the
work has already been progressing for q
long time, and that it has finally reached
stage where the objects and aims can be
openly proclaimed. Another paragraph
in this prospectus indicates that either the
bondholders are in the movement, or else
their sympathy and aid are sought, and
that it is also the intention to make this
class the nobility for it states that "We
believe that the national faith, if left in the
keeping of the populace, will be sullied by
sure reputation of the national debt, and
that an Imperial Government can alone
protect the rights of national creditors. y
Then again, it is stated that the Republic
means lawlessness, corruption, insecurity
to person and property, robbery. of the
public creditors and civil war; that the
Empire means law, order, security, public
faith and peace"
These facts prove that the movement il
not mere ephemeral affair, but an earn
est and determined one; that it has al
ready made great headway in New Yorl
and Philadelphia, and if the whole secre
was known it might also appear that pa
pers are to simultaneously appear in Bos
ton, Chicago and other cities advoca
ting the same programme. One thing ap.
pears quite certain, it is not confined to
few individuals, as a sensation suficien
has trauspired to show that it is backed b,
a powerful secret organization, bearing tn
mysterious title of I. l. o. This is tn
name which has been adopted by the so
! cieties which are now being started in diff
, ferent parts of the country.
The New York paper has already mad
its appearance.
