BALTIMORE, Md. Oct. t, 1872.
Within u year the manufactures Of
Baltimore have grown rapidly, their
present productive capacity being
fully thirty per cent. greater than it
was year ago. That they will adj
vance with equal rapl1ity during the
ensuing year can scarcely be doubted.
The demand for Baltimore. manufac-
lures is growing and the supply is
thus stimulated greatly. Baltimore
has now half the trade with the West
that she should have She can if she
seeks to do so control the grain trade
of the United States, since she can
bring the products Of the far West to
the Atlantic seaboard for one half
what it costs to carry such product;
| by way of Chicago, Toledo or Detroit
to the Atlantic seaboard at New York
Baltimore has yet very little concep-
ton of the magnificent future that
awaits her if she will exert herself
Some of her live men realize the sit
uation. They are the fellows with
heads who have just got up the Fair
Of the Maryland Institute. They
comprise about one in a hundred of
the business men of Baltimore.
Their Fair has just opened in the
Institute building and will last a
month. The immense Hall is already
well filed with all sorts Of rare and
beautiful goods and all kinds of ma
chimes in operation. When the great
rooms are lighted up brilliantly, and
the tine Band is playing and great
crowds OF finely dressed ladies and
gentlemen are pushing about,hero and
there grouping about objects Of special
beauty, or crushing each other in eff
forts to see what machines are doing
the scene is one of rare beauty and
fills even the most lethargic and fish
like Baltimorean with pride and
pleasure. NJ.

Of the United States IS summed up
there will not be great deal Of dit
ference in the aggregate between the,
votes received by L. S. Grant and

rsa- Prior to the Cincinnati Con
vention, Horace White delighted to
call Horace Greeley an inspired har-
lequin, and Horace Greeley luxurla-
ted in denominating Horace White a
'perspicuous and sublime liar. Times
have changed since then, and the lion
and the lamb are lying together, even
as they formerly lied apart.

some great alliance, while Eugenie her

her heart in any matrimonial affair.
Her sister had just married the Duke
Of Alba and Berwick, lineal descend

worthy Donna Maria, no doubt, designed
atleast an equal matrimonial destiny for
the more beautiful Of her daue hters.

Queer People 7 Brighton in Oiden
iNl ii9lSl lTit Times Ai9ili-
From the Temple Bari roH sro
There were some singular specimens
of ladies in the old Brighton days
None more angular than Lady Cler-
mont, who used to take teaspoonful of
brandy IN her tea by FIRST pooring the
brandy over the back of the spoon and
then correcting the. mistake, which she
attributed to defect Of sight, BY filing
the spoon in the ordinary way. OF a
different temper was tbe fair and ambi-
tious Lady Hagerstone, Ny lady in.
vited the Prince TO rural festival at her
villa near the Spa, Shereceiyed him in
character, as a milkmaid, ready TO con-
coct syllabub for the royal guest. She
carried in one hand silver pail, in the
other milking stool, such as the most
ingenious Of artistic upholstercrs could
alone invent. A characteristic hat,
with long cherry colored ribbons, adorned
her head, and the milkmaids apron
would have fetched hundreds Of pounds
for its lace. The syllabub, how
ever was never accomplished some
absurd accident brought the attempt
to an end which, after brief laughter,
was altogether forgotten. In contrast
with this gentle masquerade, was the
bold, loudly -brogued, but beautiful Lady
Nagle, with her husband Sir Edmpnd' 5
miniature suspended from the longest Of
chains, hinging aboutas she moved, but
always, as she said, near her heart,, Sir
Benjamin Bloomfield was another OF the
old Brighton celebrities. He owed his
position as master Of the household to
the Prince of Wales to an incident.
"Slade, said his Royal Highpess to the
Colonelof that name, "doyouk know any
gentleman who plays the violincello2'
81 only know one, SIR, replied the
Colonel, Captain Bloomfield, of the
artillery. b" Bring him here to dinner"
rejoined the Prince, "and tell him to
bring his violincello him; well play
something together after dinner" :" The
Captain played to good purpose, The
Prince again invited him as guest; |
subsequently he attached the YiolincelloI
player to his household; and Sir Benja-
min became as well known a figure on
and about the Steyne as the Prince him
self was ~ itin iH
