@> The Republican party of Baltimore coun-
ty has great work upon its hands. 1t has a
magnificent chance within its grasp. This should
not be thrown away. That chance is the mould
ing to its wish the elements that are ready to ar
ray themselves upon its side. This chance may
be made the means of its success or it may be
lost by imprudence. Those who go to work to
shape the future must care more for the success
Of the Republican party than they do for their
own. personal aggrandizement. We trust that
every one who does any thing towards building
up the party will do that which points to its sue
cess. The people are ripe-thoroughly so-for
the change. This condition should not be al
tered or turned from US by the action of the Re-
publican party. The tide is running in our di-
rection. All we have to do is to ''let it come"
Don't drive it back.

publicans and some of our particular friends
Yet We say amen to the programme az We know

The PRESIDENT OF THE PHILADELPHIA, WILL
MINGToN AND BALTIMORE RAILROAD COMPANY, in
reply to New York newspaper paragraph no.
ticing certain railway accidents upon "roads
notorious for bad equipment and worse manage
ment," replies, suppossing that his company
may by the public be included in the censure,
in exculpation of the general charge, by refer
ing to the annual reports to The Pennsylvania
Legislature, which compare very favorably
with any railroad doing similar amount of bus
mess, showing, as they do, the fact that during
the six years next preceding November, 1872,
only one passenger was killed upon that COM
pany's trains, and he "fell from car in motion
while he was intoxicated" and but two passen-
gers were injured, 'both of whom were upon
the car platforms, in disobedence of rules
The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad Company have been using steel rails
since 1864, and for some years have bought no
iron rails. 1t uses the Miller platforms, Whar-
ton switches, Cleveland frogs fog signals, etc.,
and therefore, very justly as we think, claims
to be exempt from the sweeping censure of the
paragraph in the New York Philadel
phia Ledger.

The SUNDAY-SCHooL UNIoN.-The third quar-
terly meeting of the Maryland Sunday School
Union was held on Tuesday afternoon at the
rooms of the Depository, 70 West Fayette street,
G. S. Griffith, Esq, in the chair. From the re-
ports of the State Superintendent and mission
aries, it appears that the interest and the ener-
gy of the society have not been tagging. They
have organized during the past three quarters
one hundred and sixty-seven Sunday schools,
gathering in between seven and eight thousand
children heretofore not provided with religious
instruction. Through the ten missionaries
employed by the society they have visited over
eighteen thousand families in the city and
counties, urging upon the parents the necessity
of training up their children in the ''nurture
and admonition of the Lord" Two hundred
and thirty Sunday schools in poor and desti-
tute communities have been aided by the So
ciety, in procuring necessary Sunday school
papers, besides the distribution of over sixteen
hundred Testaments. Besides this mission
work, the Maryland Sunday School Union has
been laboring earnestly to promote the stand
ard of Sunday school instruction in commune
ties where Sunday schools are already organ
lied. This has been accomplished by Sunday
school conventions where the practical Sunday
school questions of the day are discussed, and
by union mass meetings held in the various
towns by Rev. Mr.. Smeltz, the State Superin-
tendent; further by the distribution of Sunday
school tracts and pamphlets to the Sunday
school workers of all denominations through
out our State.

s- To those who wish entertaining reading
for the Winter we do not know book we had
rather recommend than the "Poet at the Break
fast Table" DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes is its
author Those who are familiar with Dr.
Holmes humor, wit, sentiment and his frequent
brilliant dashes and delightful sentences have a
good idea of what the book is. In our humble
Judgment the author has added another laurel to
the wreathe of his fame AS IN his "Professor
at the Breakfast Table, and his "Autocrat at
the Breakfast Table," he is seated at the breakfast
table with number OF folks. Each represent a
character and disposition widely different from
that of any other in the company. The CONVEX
sations are rambling, touching upon almost
every conceivable subject and treating them in
the most intelligent manner and in the happest
style. Many and amusing are the heavy digs
and brilliant fakes of sarcasm that are ventilated
in its pleasant passages. Get it, read it, make
your neighbors read it and you will have done a
thing that will give you solid satisfaction for a
year.

FINE ARrs.-Philadelphia the "City of Broth
erly Love-" of broad streets and metropolitan
warehouses, mammoth hotels, staid population
and Quaker gentility, has done herself the cred
it of beginning the erection of another Academy
of Fine Arts. Two weeks ago to-day the corner
stone of this new ornament to city of orna-
ments was laid. 1t is to be stately and artis-
tic edifce. Its grand proportions and admira-
BILE adornments will only be an illustration of
the artistic taste, of the cultivation of the beau
tful in Philadelphia.
Sixty-seven years ago Quaker taste erected the
present building devoted to this purpose. From
then until now the beautiful the chaste, the
sublime in art have been cultivated and appre-
ciated by her thousands of intelligent inhabi-
tants The cultivation of this side of theintellectu
al being has been steady thing. The fruit of
the old Academy is the erection and establish
ment of the new. In the future this will be the
field for the development of the finer feelings and
sentiments of the human heart as the old has been
in the past The fact tells wholesome story.
Where is the Monumental City, with her
Academy of Fine Arts?
