The History Of II Cake.

At the Festival Of. the Ladies OF
Emmitsburg, held at St. Vincents
Hall, on the 18th and 18th iustants,
for the benefit Of the Brass Band "A
cake being made and presented by a
fair daughter of sixteen summers the
ladies resolved to hold an election
with it to see who would be the lucky
winner-the voters being the gentle
men.
Accordingly the Ladies selected the
FIVE clergymen, or rather pastors, OF
the FIVE Congregations in this village.
The election was carried on with cour.
tesy and good feeling. No one could
resist voting when asked by 70 pleas
ing and amiable a lady as Miss NJ,
her every action being dignity and
grace, It was really heart-cheerlng
to view her impartiality and business,
We must, however, return to our sub
ject, the cake. 1t brought twenty
dollars coy, each person paying 10
cents for the honor Of casting q vote.
The election was warmly contested,
but finally declared in favor of the
good Father Guetry, who intended
presenting back the cake to the Fes-
tival These charitable ladies, how
ever, called upon him and solicited
the cake for the benefit Of an old
colored man nearly ninety years of
age. The cake in market again
brought six dollars and sixty cents
(6.60.) The ladies bought him -four
and groceries with the proceeds they
cheered the heart Of the old negro, and
sent him on his way rejoicing The
cake was drawn (for the second time),
by an invited lady, who had the mag
nanilnity and generosity to cut 1T IN
slices and send each poor person or
invalid in the village slice. You can
see how much good can beaccomplished
by only a cake. 1t is certainly good
moral. The cake was baked in the
form of a pyramid, iced beautifully
and tastefully trimmed Miss Kate
- what may we expect from You
in the culinary department and cake
baking line at the age Of twenty, when
at sweet sixteen, the work of your
nimble digites have been so successful.
Keep on, dear one, there is g bridal
wreath and brides cake in the future
for you; and who will be so capable
of making it as your own dear self
The young lady who made such beau
tiful cake will never be at a loss for
admirers or friends. Indeed, the work
of the industrious and charitable
always deserve the need Of praise.

EMMITsBUEG, June 90 1871.

Mr.. EDITOR Our harvest has set
in with favorable omens. The crops
in the vicinity, especially wheat, are
very good. Our farmers are delighted
and in fine spirits. The grain is ripe,
plump, we'll filled and heavy. The
work of harvesting this precious staff
of life will close by Saturday evening,
and it makes all wear a smiling face
May Heaven be praised for these bouu-
titul gifts.
The Ladies' Festival held here for
the benefit of the Brass Band netted
the sum Of 5000, or thereabouts. The
big cake was quite feature of the
entertainment. The Band will pro-
badly favor the public with some of
their choice music on the 4th OF july.
In consequence of harvest, our town
presents vacant appearance, cxcept
on last Saturday night, when it was
brilliantly Illuminated in many places
in honor of the Pontifcate of Plus TX.
St. Joseph's Church presented a mag
nificent sight, and our little place can
we'll claim proud honor in celebration
Of this Jubilee.
Strangers are beginning to flock in
goodly numbers to witness the com
mencement exercises at Mt. St. Marys
College and st. Joseph's Academy
Next Wednesday and Thursday will
be very busy days at these Institu-
tons. Our Hotels and manv of our
private houses will be crowded. But
let all come and enjoy the festive and
intellectual OCCASION
Mr.. Git, the Engineer of our Branch
Railway, has been here again. The
Directors are now only awaiting the
final answer of some four or five land
owners through which the route will
run, when they will proceed to assem-
BILE jury Of condemnation and assess
damages.

The SOUTH AND THE Presidency.
The Louisville Journal adopts the
suggestion Of General Forrest, jacob
Thompson, and other prominent men
of the South, that it will be be best
for the Southern States to hold aloot
from tho next Democratic National
Convention. The idea is quite popu-
lar in Tennessee and Mississippi. As
to Georgia, the Macon Telegraph says
they want change Of Administration
ITO lift from them the awful burden
Of prescription by the National Gov
ernment." A change of men and in
tlusnce is desired. The Richmond
Wig rather likes this scheme, be-
cause it relieves the South of respon-
sibilities, ana imposes 1t on the North.
1t proposes that the South adopt the
platform and the ticket Of the party
which pleases it best. A National
Democratic Convention, with ten or a
dozen States unrepresented, would be
a fearful spectacle.

and the expulsion OF the Jesuits and
other religious orders, the confscation
of churcA property, &cp which will
probably Be settled by Convention
Of the Crowned Heads of Europe by
placing Henry the Fifts on the throne
of France, and the restoration Of Plus

The death Of the Hon. j. V. L. Nc
Mahon, of Cumberland, on the 10th
instant, one of the most distinguished
members Of the Maryland Bar, and al
one time one of the most eloquent
orators in the Union, is loss to the
country. Mr.. Mem. was q son Of the
late William McMahon, of Allegany
county, for many years a member O
the Legislature and Sheriff of thai
county. His son, as soon as he haC
attained his age Of majority, com.
mcnced reading law in the office O
Roger Perry, and about 1921 was adj
mitted to the bar by Judges Buchanan
and Shriver. 4 year or two after he
was elected a member Of the House o.
Delegates Of Maryland from Allegany
county, where le soon attracted notice
on account Of lis oratorical abilities
In 1928, at the urgent solicitation Of
his friends he removed to Baltimore
city, and in 1927, in connection with
Gen. George II. Steuart, was elected
to the Legislature from that place on
| the Jackson Republican ticket, beating
John Stricken and John S. Tyson
He had tremendous voice, and his
speech in Sept. 1927, delivered at the
Lexington Market House, could almost
have haen heard for ~ mile Erom the
place of utterance. 1t was there he
met Mr.. Tyson, in debate, as opposing
candidates, and where they came in

on the latter the soubriQuet of the

THE CONVERSATIONAL CONTEST

The contest for the next Guberna-
torial nomination. of the Democratic
Conservative party Of this State still
remains undecided, but the contest is
progressing at a lively pace. Queen
Anne's county held its Convention a
few days ago, and pronounced very
decidedly in favor Of the Hon. r. B.
Carmichael, Of that county, for the
position and it is said by a Cam
bridge paper, that the entire Eastern
Shore counties will be a unit in
favor Of his nomination. The Demo-
cracy Of Hartford county have also
held their Convention, and instructed
its Delegates to vote for Henry w.
Archer, Esq,
Still the impression appears to be
pretty general abroad that the Hon.
Vim. PJnkney Nhyte Will bear OFT the
prize. The Democrats and Conserva-
tiycs Of this county hold their Con-
yontion on the 10Th of July, and the
State Convention meets at Baltimore
City, Oh the 10Th Of The same month.
The Republicans, from the indica-

Left and Right wing of the
party, will nominate the Hon. JACOB.

mountain, we will state that the con-
tractors between this place and Sabil-
lasville, and between the latter point
and Smithsburg, in Washington coun-
ty, are busy at work, cutting through
the deep gorge on the Summit Of the
Mountain, and grading and putting
up the bridges'with rapid speed. The
work has been delayed q little by the
deep chasm to cross on Owings' creek
and the necessity Of putting up a
strong structure of q character not
only to prevent accidents, but to re-
main as o permanent memorial Of this
great undertaking. The contractor is
now erecting two spans Of the Howe
Truss Bridge crossing Owings' creek
mile or two above Mechanicstown,
each about 100 feet span composed Of
heavy wood timbers forming the top
and bottom chords, which are con-
nected By heavy Truss rods Of best
refined American iron. 1t spans a
very deep ravine, making one feel a
sense Of insecurity, if it were not for
its very substantial appearance 1t is
a Deck Bridge, the trains crossing in
the top Of the structure. If not de-
layed by unforeseen causes, the encr-
gctic contractor, Mr.. NJ. ?. Placide,
expects 10 have the track and other
Bridge structures completed SO the
trains can run to Sabillasville during
next month.
The masonry Of the abutmcnts of
the bridge is Of The most suDstan-
tial kind, going up under the prac-
tiscd eye OF Mr.. Cyrus Mos"r, one of
the most skiltcul workers in stone ma
sorry IN this section Of country.
