Mcsherry's History Of Maryland.

II Is gratifying to learn that the Board Of
School Commissioners, at a recent special ses-
sion. decided that McShcrry's History Of Mary
land, as abridged by 0nderdonk, shall be made
Text Book IL the Grammar Schools. The
action or the Board makes this obligatory. IL
Is likewise to DO introduced into the High
Schools.
We have heretofore had occasion TO notico
this most excellent little work, and were par
ticalarly Impressed with its perfect adaptation,
by Infringement, 10 tho use OF schools. II Is
handsomely printed by John Murphy 4 Co.,
and Substantially bound.
Mr.. Oderdonk being teacher Of long prac-
teal experience, and the author Of several ex-
cellent school books, to no one else therefore
could the task Of abridging have been more ap-
propriately entrusted,
The History OF Maryland possesses peculiar
interest, as well with regard To the early settle
ment and progress OF our whole country, as TO
the State ITSELF Facts aud circumstances ap-
pertaining thereto, incidents Of our rise, pro-
gress, &c., are indeed necessary to complete
the historic part Of early education. The
abridgment before us Is arranged with especial
reference and adaptation 10 youthful students.
The narrative Is condensed and so presented as
To interest the reader at each page, giving a
clear, impressive detail of leading facts easy Of
remembrance
Every Marylander feels justly proud of his
State. No matter what part Of the globe may,
in aftcrtlme, become bis home or his residence,
still emotions of delight I'LL his heart as he calls
up the "Reminiscences OF old Maryland. Her
history Is noble one replete in adventures,
full of bold daring, selfsaeriticing patriotism,
enterprise, and religious liberation. Itshould,
therefore, be early Impressed upon the minds
Of all her sons and daughters, This can be
done 10 no better way than by a careful study,
in early school days, of the tcxt book here
noticed.
We find 1t spoken Of In just and highly CON-
mandatory terms by the newspaper press gen.
orally. II has already been adopted by several
School Boards in different counties, and will,
ere long, be n familiar companion with all Of
them. II may, in fact, be made to serve the
double purpose Of reader Tor junior classes,
and thus accomplish two desirable ends.
We cannot too highly recommend this
infringement, and hope II may soon find its way
into every school, public or private, within the
limits OF our State. No mistake can be made
by its introduction, because, in all respects, it
II Is reliable, and will teach the student what
must prove an important, useful, and eminent
ly satisfactory part OF his education. We are
particularly gratifed to know II has been made

The Champion Butcher.

Sometime since the Butchers Society, of the
Garden City, DESTROYS of finding out by practi-
cal illustration which city boosted the posses
sion of the most expert Knight Of the Cleaver,
caused to be manufactured an elegant belt
which they offered To the fastest and best butch
er on a single bullock for market use, the work
to commence after the animal had been
pretehed up, with the two fore feet of; each
butcher to be allowed helper, the latter TO
open the breast and neck, but not chop or saw
them, with the privilege Of washing the carcase
on the foor-also, to adjust the ''beef tree"
and hoist up the bullock, clear the entraiis
and split the kidneys. The trophy was manu-.
featured BY Mayo, and consists Of silver plates,
win gold centre piece, each piece having the
bgure OF an OK tastefully engraven upon it.
After four trials had been made, the fffh
contestant entered the arena In the person of
Charles Leyden from Chicago, an Irish Amer.
lean stripping OF 10 years. The slight, boyish
form of Leyden oontrasted strangely with the
magnificent appearance of some of the others,
but the young champion prepared for the trial
OF strength and skill with admirable spirit
To the cries OF the crowd, he replied that the
could not excite him as he was bound To win,
and having hoorcd his beast, on the call of go,
his Knife New over the carcase with electric
swiitness. In an incredibly short space the
beei was hanging on the "tree," the hide was
stripped 10 the neck, the keen axe cleft the
backbone with amazing dexterity, and, having
dressed the bullock, the time-keeper, amid the
widest excitement, declared the young man s
work performed In the space of four minutes
and forty-hve seconds. Leyden was immedi-
ately hoisted on the shoulders OF the crowd and
borne OF in triumph, those who knew him we'll
asserting that he was fully equal to doing the
whole thing inside Of four minutes. There
being no more competitors, the judges declared
Leydeu to be the winner.

THE GRAIN CRoPs ABRoAD.-It is
announced that Russia, hitherto one of
the largest grain supplying countries
in the world, has recently entered the
grain markets of Germany as q purcha.
ser. This unusual circumstance is at
tributed to the short crop in Russia,
arising not from a defective harvest,
but from the result Of emancipating the
peasantry. The immense surplus,
which heretofore made Russia the gra.
nary Of Europe, was produced by the
large land owners, who worked the
serfs up to their full capacity of labor.
The serfs are now their own masters.
aud only cultivate enough grain to sup
ply their own personal wants, and some
times not even that quantity. The
area sown in wheat is therefore gradu.
ally decreasing, and provinces which
formerly were large exporters have for
several years been obliged to import
food. The Government also has been
obliged to purchase aud store up large
quantities of grain to provide against
the consequences Of the conduct Of the
emancipated sarfs.

The Business Situation.

Referring to the perplexipg compli-
cations which at The present time sur
round commercial affairs, the New York
Conmerciai List remarks:
The unsettled state Of the gold market,
in connection with other causes, which must
be tolerably familiar TO the mercantile com.
munity, restricts the volume If trade within
very marrow limits, and the complaints of
business apathy are quite unanimous. The
distributive demand for all kinds Of goods,
is confined to the current wants OF con.
sumption, and these, it may be remarked,
are less than usual at this period Of the
year, owing to the paralyzed condition of
industry and commerce, and the generally
restricted means of the great mass Of the
people. As distributors are ayerse to shar-
ing the burthen and risk of carrying goods
not absolutely needed. stocks, with some
exceptions, are accommodating and prices
irregular, though with growing ease in the
money market, holders are not compelled
10 realize, save in exceptional eases, at a
sacrifice. The price of foreign goods in
this country are sustained by initiation, and
do not conform to the gold quotations |;
hence, when the price Of gold is uunaturally
depressed, impor,ations are heavy notwith-
standing our high tariff, because the mar.
gin Of profit is eorrespondingly larger
lmportations are not only stimulated, but
our export trade Is held in check by the
same cause. The excessive importation OF
foreign goods, and the diminished exports
Of domestic products, are and have long
