eyes THAT OPEN ON EARTH No MORE. ~
The above is the caption of touching
little poem printed i'll The Wing last week
which, although we neglected to call attcn-
ton to it, did not escape the lovers of true
poetry. The poem was written by Rev. T.
Hampstead an old contributor to The Wig.
Mr.. Hampstead has written many beautiful
and tender verses, but few if any of his
former exports will surpass the poetry con-
tanned in that brief tribute to his mother.
Few gems can be culled from among the
parts of the day that will equal the follow
ing stanza.
Birds shall sing in the budding branches,
Violets hide in the grass below,
The sad, repining breath of October
Drifts of brown leaves over thee throw
Never the April, never the Summer,
Never the snow shall reach thee there,
Never the wind of the world thou walkost
Blow the silver across thy hair.
We hope Mr.. Hampstead will find incli-
nation and leisure to oftener contribute to
the poetry of his time from his rich gcneus
in song.

Appeared to have suddenly whipped
round and become wonderful admirers
of General Grant Governor Bowie
sounded the key note in his recent mes
sage volunteering the new administra-
ton cordial support, and speaking in
the highest terms of the President elect.
Determined not to be outdone in pro-
fessions of friendship and regard by the
Governor, the Baltimore City Council
bv unanimous vote in both branches,
en- Monday last passed resolutions ten
dering the Inequalities Of the city to
General Grant ON the occasion of his
visit there this week But few weeks
ago Grant was the butcher, ignoramus
and stolid blockhead with these men,
Our backwoods ncighbor The Demo-
crat has not advanced so far IN the arts
of civilization as the more cultivated
and refined democracy of the monument
tai city. That sheet will come limping
along after while bringing up the rear
and will learn from its more advanced
brethren that President Grant is not
only great General but one of the
leading statesmen of the age. 1t will
also have learned to spell negro with
one q. How astonished this backwoods
class must be to read in the leading
democratic journals, Geographic reports
of the proceedings of the National Col
ored Congress, held in Washington
last week, and find the editorial COM
ments of those journals in speaking of
the men and speeches of that convcn-
ton, couched in decent and respectful
language These things must fairly
dumfound the babes, as Nasty would
term them, and as they blink in the
new light inquire of themselves what
their leaders can mean. A cotemporary

personality now; no more angry and
Incorporate invective against the per-
sonnet of the convention. Not word

Surprise Party.-Rev. James NJ Elder
dice, of Bay View, the esteemed Pastor Of
the Church there, was agrceably surprised,
one day last week, by the appearance of
unexpected VISITORS who in behalf of
themselves and others, presented him with
an abundant offering in the way of wheat,
corn, potatoes, flour, beef, butter, &C.
The hearts of the good people from abroad
have thus been most laudably stirred. Will
the people of Bay View and vicinity go and
do likewise?

Enterprise.-Messrs. Brown & Platt, of
Farmers Mill-Porter's Bridgc-advertisc
their business in to-days Wig. They
have ons of the best, if not the very best,
flour mill in the county, and are exactly
the right kind of business men, prompt
reliable, honest. Wehave tried their flour
and know they make first class article
The "times,' just now, being somewhat
dull, they don't sit down and suck their
fingers or repine, but ndrertise. They
know the secret of success, and push their
business by making it known more widely
among the people, so that when returning
prosperity sets in they will find their field
considerably widened and extended, and
reap thousand fold for their outlay.

Bee Hunting.-Just now this is a favor
lite amusement with our practicle jokers.--
Two or three greenhorns have been terribly
hoaxed this week by our Elkton wags. A
bee tree is reported to be in some neighbor-
ing woods, and Mr.. Greenhorn is confiden-
TALLY informed Of plot to steal it on the
following night and invited to make one of
the party. Greenhorn and his new ac-
quantances with axes proceed to the tree,
while others in the conspiracy lie in ambush
near the place. When the chopping COM
mences chang" goes gun, and Greeny's
new friends drop and shrek like wounded
men. Greeny being the only one left alive
to tell the tale, breaks for safer locality
Fright lends him wings and an additional
blank cartridge or two in the rear, urge him
to a rate of speed that is something aston
ishing for two legged biped. Greeks,
mill ponds, fences, brush, are no impede
mcnts to the victim of one of these false
bee hunts. One of the hunters this week
fled from the scene of disaster bearing a
wounded comrade on his shoulders nor
stopped till he reached the drug store of
DR.. Mitchell, calling for help for the woun-
ded. The sport has been extra fine this
week and the game unusually plenty.

Ice.-This is a subject of some anxiety
to our citizens at present, our ice man hav-
ing failed to take Advantage of the oppor-
tunity to fill his house when the pond was
filled with excellent ice. We have had
such succession of long, cold winters,
people had forgotten that a warm one is
occasionally sandwiched amongst the i'll
tensely cold seasons. A thaw came sud-
denly upon us, and the weather has been
growing more and more spring-like each
succeeding week. Some who took old time
by the foretop, succeeded in filling their
ice-houses with beautiful ice from Mr.. How
ards pond, but the proprietor, on whom
the entire population of o town depend
for the cooling luxury, failed to move i'll
time, and has not a pound of ice i'll store
for the approaching warm weather.

Gibson, of Odessa, left Middletown for
Odessa, on Thursday evening, 14th inst,
in buggy. Just as they got out of town
their horse ran off, and by suddenly shying,
Mr.. Higgins, who was driving, was thrown
out. Mr.. Gibson not having hold of the
reins and having no control Of the horse,
attempted to jump out, but fell, the car
rage wheel running over one of his legs,
bruising him considerably. The horse ran
to Odessa with the buggy, and stopped
The gentlemen were but little injured.
VIM. Osborn, 4 child about nine months
of age, son of Mr.. Hugh Thompson, of
Bohemia Manor, was scalded to death, on

most convenient way to remit money to
publishers is by mail. Put the notice and
such amount of money as may be conven-
lent, into an envelope seal it up, direct it to
The Wing Office, and put it in the Post
Office and the return mail will bring you
receipt. Many of our readers have been
in the habit of renewing their subscriptions
in this way, for years past, and we hear of
10 complaints of money having miscarried.
We hope our friends will not postpone re-
newing their subscriptions until they can
call in person-send the money by mail,
and when you come to town call in a
friendly way and see our new Power Press

The Nurcmburg Museum Of TOrture-Hor-
ribie Relics of the Last Century-EXtraOr-
dinary Expose.
A correspond ent writes as follows from
Nuremburg to the New York Journal Of
C0n3nlerc
There is here a collection of memorials of
the good old days which 1 believe cannot
be matched elsewhere in its way. There is
no other iron maiden" that l have heard of
except perhaps one in q private museum in
an out-of-the-way place south of Vienna. 1
could not find any at Ratisbon nor at Prague,
which cities are supposed to have been
blessed with one each. Certainly such a
variety of torture tools does not exist else
where, unless it is hidden somewhere in
Spain. At any rate these are worthy of
special notice. Under the Rathaus are q
number of dungeons, one of them torture
chamber, which have not been used since the
early part Of this century, and are now pretty
much filed with mud and rubbish. The
smaller Instruments Of torture are
collected in room Of the
castle, where they are hung
on the walls, and stand on the floor. 1t is
a formidable collection in number and char
acter-too many, even, to mention particu-
larly There are all sorts of screws for
squeezing fingers, limbs, or the body; whips
of knotted cord, of wire, and of cord, to which
are fastened square bits of iron holding sharp
points quarter of IN inch in length; frames
of wood and iron to confne the body in un-
comfortable pOsturCS; artistic gouges for TAX
ing out eyes; a claw-shaped thing for tearing
women's breasts; mons for burning the flesh;
knives for cutting masks for COMPRISING
the face and head an ingenious instrument
called the ''Spanish pear, which, being put
into the mouth, was opened in four quarters
with a spring, aud held the mouth distended
machine for smashing thumbs an execu-
toners sword straight, double-edged and
heavy, which has cut off more than three hun
dred heads, and 20 finish the exhibition, my
conductress opened a box looking like violin
case and produced human skull through which
was still thrust the ron spike by which it had
been fastened to the city gate. This museum
of artistic Devils tools is made up of articles
which l WAS assured were used up to the pre-
sent century, in the council house of the free
Protestant city Of \ memberg-and these were
only the minor articles for light penalties in
their code. Follow ing the wall of the city
towards the west ior quarter of a mile L
came to a grated dor let into the wall Now
let us see what sort of revel the worthy
burghers held in these secret chambers before
the nineteenth century. We find down here

formerly stood III The court of the Rathaus,
and some other thin gs which were used pub
