sidered, the realization Of so successful an
undertaking is simply wonderful. 1t was
only made possible by perfect organization
and the willingness of everybody TO make per-
sonal sacrifices and TO labor increasingly for the
general good. Thus it is that the reputed
fable has become a present truth. When l
consider the grand effect of the fresh voices of
the chorus, the splendid orchestra, and the
mighty organ, am forced to confess the jubilee
is a superbly impressive enterprise, and this no.
bic impreSsiveneSs results not only from the
huge masses of performers, but also from the
talent and admirable precision with which all
of the music is executed. From all portions of
America the people flock to join in the festivi-
ties, and every day witnesses assemblages of
upward of50,000 persons. Here Strauss enthu.
sasm gets the better somewhat of his powers of
accurate computation.l Icannot deny that my
joyful experiences in this extraordinary festival
are marred by one serious thought; that is, that
in Europe, where exists every musical advan-
tage, and where such an artistic undertaking
ought to be much easier, there is no one with the
enterprise to project such grand International
gathering. The fourth day of July will close
this Incompatible musical event.

THE EARTH's CRUST AT CHIcAGo.-The
Chicago Tribune gives the following account of
what the drill passed through in boring 40
feet in that city,
The drill had an easy time Of it through the
first fifty feet, boring with great readiness
through clay, then came 1896 feet of slate and
rotten rock, which was pretty easily disposed of.
Then five feet of quicksand, which caved, and
made things generally uncomfortable; then a
twelve foot mixture OF sand and stones; then
the drill worked its way slowly through 1902 feet
of hard rock, after piercing which the water
made its appearance and the well was filled; then
came 10 feet of white limestone rock, which
was pierced slowly, but having made its way
through, the diligence Of the drill was rewarded
with "SOft thing" in the way of 300 feet of
clay. More limestone to the depth of % feet
followed, then mixture Of slate and shale, and
after that forty feet OF soap stone; then slate
again to the depth of 1915 feet, and again 400
feet of white lime rock. Here a stratum of %
feet of brown sand was struck Tor the first time,
and after it sand stone rock; another layer OF
10 feet of shale, 20 feet of lime rock and Is feet
of slate and rotten rock. This caved almost as
badly as QuiCkSand, and an iron pipe the size oil
the well was let down to cover the treacheTous
spot. Below this was Is feet of lime rock again
II feet of sand stone rock, SO feet of lime rock
and then, at a depth OF 1895 feet, crevice
lined, as before described, with metallic flint
containing water, thirty feet below which the
flow nearly doubled.
These figures are interesting, but not alto
gether trustworthy, for they foot up about 1901
feet ms tead of 1920.

In country place in France the lady of one
OF the neighboring chateauX was accustomed, as
most French ladies are, to have what might be
called her "beggars in ordinary" One of these
was waiting, few months ago, at the door of
the chateaux at an early hour of the day.
Having gone to bed late the night before, tile
lady had not risen betimes, and the beggar
waxed impatient. AT last, turning to the foot

False Charges Against the P. NJ. &.

The outrageous SANDER recently pub
lished by the Washington Patriot against
Post Master General Creswell, charging
him with official fraud and peculation, was
entirely exploded by the committee APP
pointed to investigate the charges. The wri-
ter of the articles was scamp named Nc
Kibbin, Californian, and an ex Democratic
member of Congress. When Mcklbbn
was summoned before the committee to
testify, he was convicted, out OF his own
mouth, of deliberate lying. lie failed TO
show word of truth in the charges he had
made. This McKibbin was an unsuccess-
full bidder for mail contracts, which is the
key to his pious indignatign against official
corruption. Our home organ, The Demo-
oerat, informs its readers of the speedy dis
missal of the Postmaster General from the
Cabinet; but remembering former predic
tons of that prophet, the latter may safely
be placed in the catalogue of charges made
by it in the Chorpenlng affair, the Mckib-
bin and similar stories, Matched in the
inventive brain of Democratic demagogues.
The testimony taken by the committee that
investigated the McKibbin ISLANDERS, estab-
lished the integrity and official character
of the Postmaster General to be of the
highest order-a reputation which his
Cecil county friends and neishbors may
well feel proud of.

WILMINGTON ADVERTISEMENTS. This
week We add several more to our already
large list of Wilmington advertisers Bust
ness men of that city, if thoroughly alive
to their own interests, need only be apprized
of the broad and inviting field Cecil pre-
sents to them, in order to lay their business
before our citizens.
After an absence of some years, again
appears to-day the advertisement of W. NJ.
Kennard Il Co. The name is familiar to
our readers-to many Of them tho store is
also. A large assortment of goods will
always there be found, combining excel
lenee of quality with moderate prices.
To paper hangers and others J. r. Holt
presents inducements. He keeps good
stock, and is now prepared for Spring trade.
His prices will doubtless be found as cheap
as those of the larger cities, while it is
much more convenient to call on or order
of him.
G. E. Dubell is among the most enter
prising of the young business men of the
city. He is building up for himself a fine
business, and is the first of his trade to
extend welcome to Cecil countians.-
Young men,-and old ones, too, for that
understanding "beaver for the i'm
portant occasion,-or a nice hat of any kind,
might find it to their advantage to give Mr..
Dubell call.

Call for a State Road Convention.

The people of the rural districts of Mary
land, interested in securing good county
roads, are reuuesed to meet in council in
Baltimore, on Thursday, March 18th, at
10 o'clock, \. NJ. at Raines Hall, corner
of Baltimore street and Post Office avenue,
to devise some means by which the great
burden which retards the growth and de-
velopment of the rural districts may he
successfully removed.
The policy of holding State Conven-
ton to discuss this important question has
been agitated throughout the State during
the past year. and has been universally
concurred in as the only means of securing
uniform and united action in the matter,
and as it effects the interests of every
farmer in Maryland, it is hoped every
county in the State will be fully represented
either by delegates or voluntary action,
as each county shall prefer, without fur
Their notice.
The above call is being circulated
through the State, and it is to be hoped
that it will meet with a hearty response
from every county. There is no interest
more urgent than that of good roads: and
there is no other expense so heavy on the
tax payers as the annual drain for repair
of roads. Under present management, the
largest part of the money expended on
roads is entirely wasted and thrown away.
These are deplorable facts potent to every
observart man: and till the road laws of
the State are changed there is no hope for
improvement. Under existing laws and
management, if continued, near half a
million of dollars will be expended in this
county ON roads, in the next ten years, and
at the end of that time they will be no
better than they are at present. The
county ought to be represented by dele
gates at the convention, and we suggest,
for the sake of concert, that the people
meet in each district, on Saturday, 10th
inst, at their usual places of holding pri-
mary meetings, and appoint delegate for
each District to attend the Road Convention
in Baltimore, on the 2sth inst. The present
political system of road making will have to
be superseded by one founded on business
principle before the rrodigal waste of
money will be curtailed or the public roads
oeSln 10 improve. Any nan WHO Has II
suggestion to make on the subject of road
reform let him send it in writing to the
Convention, Or go in person and lay it
before the meeting. The farm property
Of the county, and with it every other
interest, is deprecated incidentally by our
bad roads. In just that proportion which
the public roads permanently improve, will
the value of every acre be enhanced.
