9W7 Maryland has 1913 square miles of
oyster bed, 90 of which are closely covered,
and the rest scattering. To protect these
treasures reg ular commission has been
appointed, of which the head officer has
just made report to the Legislature. He
calls for an amendment Of the laws, which,
if secured, he thinks will provide for the en-
ployment of 10000 men. At present 573
dredging vessels and 1908 canoes are Ii
ccnsed for the traffic. The annual product
is 100000 bushels. The consumption of
bivalvcs is immense, and is annually in
creasing, but as each adult oyster generates
about one million young year, the
supply will hardly give out.

tY7 Every body has heard ofthose gun
boats in the Mississippi which were of such
delicate structure that the officers had to
their qnids from one cheek to the other
suddenly for fear of capsizing the vessel,
But the hardest story is that which re-
lates how one of these boats fired how
itzer and was driven four miles up stream,
while the shell dropped plump into the
water The boat was actually fired away
from the ball,

DISASTROUS FIRE.
The Steamers city OF Evansville, Pine

Tho now and splendid Cairo and Evans.
Vile packet, City OF Evansville, Captain
ii. T. Dexter, was destroyed by fire, this
morning. while lying at her wharf at

which tho boats were burned, was the
landing place of tho Granville, and not OF

MAYOR WiLsoS ASp THE DEMoc Rl

MAYOR WILSON ASp THE DgMoc RAG
OF CAiso.-A number Of leading Demo-
cratic citizen. met ut ho residence of Mr.
4. II. Irwin, on Saturday night, and
through Mr., John II. Obcrly, presented
10 Mayor Wilson, n valuable gold-hoaded
cane. Copies of,hc Presentation speech and
reply have no, been furnished to u. 20 We
arc lsf; IN tell in our own way what the
presentation WAS Cor and how Mayor VIII.
son took it.
On election day negro men were gathered
ints Caro- from al four quarters Of tho
earth to vote the Radical ticket. /, was
apprchendel by some that by the right of
might they would give as an election Ia
Lousioaa but, happily, for all concerned
nothing Of the kind was seriously insisted
upon. Mr.. Wilson, rs Mayor, enforced
the police regulations Of the city, and as
judge OF election required rigid eompli-
ance with state law, lie did this, not for
an hour or two, but during the entire day )
and thus by applying To negroes the
lHht hAul'tAA lfE4N.a.
ture intended should have special
application to Democratic foreigners, he
protected the purity of the ballot boa and
maintained in the city the asoendancy Of
Democrats. As an iptimstion that TIL,
fearless service is appreciated by his fell
low-ci,izens Mayor Wilson was "caned as
above indicated, Tho presentation core
mony over, the party present was invited
to psr,ake Of rcpast il which cake and
PEPPER Hedsicl Were conspcuously abund-
ant. How the wine and wit sparsled, how
toasts were drank, stories told; and how
everybody was in II good humor with every
body else, are matters which We leave to
the conjecture Of the reader, About ii
o'clock the party separated, Wilson with
his splendid cane, and the Others with Il
consciousness that they had, in measure
at least, recognized the service Mr.. vii
son had rendered, on election day, TO the
Democratic party and the city Of Cairo.

%NDAY, MORNING IN BED.


hen the tiresome week is over,
Wearied limbs then ask for case;
DO grim task is then before you.
No one but yourself to please.
How delicious, then the feeling
That dawns through the drowsy head,
Of rest unbroke, unsummoned,
Sunday morning ia the bed.
And such fancies throng around you,
Half asleep and half awake,
Dim defined, yet all so pleasant
Fancies like the dawn, opaque.
Waking dreams of love and fortune,
Brighter far than can be said,
Give O foretaste of elysium,
Sunday morning in the bed.
And the early sounds contrasting,
Add still more to the repose;
Praise who will the early rlsers,
sweetr stills the morning dosel
Labor, hustle, care all banished,
And the only sound you dread
Is the breakfast BELLS rough clamor,
Routing from the Sundays bed.
Poets sing of early morning,
Heathful, active, fresh and fair,
Riches reaped, industry's harvest,
In the mornings early air
Well, in weeks days let's admit IT.;
Think how soon ones life Is sped,
Let poor n'ortals joy unhindersd,
Sunday mornings in the bed.
