the body when debilitated and broken down by over
much brain work or exhausting physical labor, are
kept bay by the resistant power with which this in

vital organs. At this season. when the heat is evopo

CAUGHT The cashier of New England bank
wrote Gen Spinner of the United States Treasury
letter containing two mutila,ed bank notes. one
of the denomination Of $500 and the other of
$l0O, out of which about one-tenth had been
scissored, asking that they be replaced by fresh
ones unharmed. And this modest request includes
the expense of transportation both ways to the
government. Gen. Spinner wrote reply to this
note on the 7th inst in which he states that un-
der the old regulations these notes could have
been redeemed for only ninetenths of their value.
These rules have been lately modified. Under
this modification the aforesaid cashier claims the
full value of these notes. The fact that they are
entirely new demonstrates that they were pur-
posey scissored. This reveals fraudulent mo-
tive. Gen. Spinner states for the dog days, |
consider this request decidedly cool. You not
only burn with hot iron, but ask the burned
one to pay for heating the poker" Under the
circumstances, says Gen. Spinner, sit has been
concluded that the notes be retained at any rate
until the pieces that were cut from them shall be
returned to this Office, and until the apparent
fraudulent or malicious mutilation shall have
been satisfactorily explained TO the Department"
This fellow was so sharp that he has evidently
cut himself. We question if his new occupation
will prove remunerative enough to induce him to
continue in the business.

RecOZcif1s<I2lf.

The devoted Greeley party of Anne Arundel
county that distinguishes itself by fraudulent
registration is by no means harmonious and hap
Ply in its nominations for county offices. On
Wednesday of last week its convention convened
and made its county nominations. On the same
evening there was an opposition meeting lin An.
napolis) of Democratic voters consisting of be.
tween seventy and one hundred persons. John
R. Magruder was chairman and Thomas Martin,
Secretary.
A committee was appointed to draft resolutions
expressive of the sense of the meeting. After q
brief absence they returned and reported the fol
lowing which were unanimously adopted
Whereas, The recent meeting of the Democratic
and Conservative Convention, and the ticket put
forth by it, has shown that its course was inlu.
enced and controlled by and in the influence OIL
men obnoxious to large majority of the mem
bers of the party, and that improper influences
outside of our county largely controlled and die.
tated its action and that most of its nomina-
tons were not fit to be made, and such as we
cannot endorse or support.
Therefore, resolved, By the Democratic and Con-
sentative voters of Annapolis here assembled, thai
we repudiate the proceedings of said Convention
that we denounce its action as fraud and wrong
perpetrated upon us that we will use all honor
able means to secure the defeat of the ticket it has
in such an outrageous way selected.
ResOlUed, That if (as alleged) his Excellency,
Governor Whyte, attempted to- and did, use his
influence for this ticket thus nominated, and con-
suited and advised in regard to its selection ther
we denounce his interference as in the highest de-
gree impertnent and as such, merits, as it re-
ceives, our scorn and hearty condemnation.
Resolved, That we Indignantly denounce the
action of the conference held at Barnum's Hote
the day before the meeting OF the Convention; thai
such gross and unwarrantable attempt to fore
stall the action of the Convention is new feature
in the politics of Maryland, and deserves our I'M
qualified censure and rebuke.
ResolOed, That we cordially invite all who
agree with US and sympathize in our determine
ton to resent this insult to our manhood and in
telligence, to meet in their respective districts or
Saturday, 6th instant, or such earlier date as
they may deem best, to select delegates to confer
with delegates to be appointed by this meeting
who shall assemble in convention at Annapolis
on Tuesday, 10th instant, to take counsel with
us and decide upon our future action.
These resolutions do not compliment his Elk
cellency, Governor Whyte, very highly. And
they certainly do not endorse tickets put up al
Barnum's or Guys. Anne Arundel county i:
not the only one in the State that is obliged tc
take Greeley tickets that have been hashed fol
them at some headquarters in Baltimore.

s- Between the I'D of July and the 22d of
August, three great pilgrimages take place in
France. These devotional journeys have, since
the national calamities, become larger in
numbers and more intense in their spirit than
in former years. The first devotion of this
"month of pilgrimages" is paid to the tomb OF
St. Martin, at Tours. Then comes that to the
birth place of St. Vincent de Paul, and to the
shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes. A general
committee at Paris directs the movements OF
the pilgrims. In addition to the above, the
committee have organized numerous pilgrim
ages to holy places of less Importance ard on
the 18th and 21st of this month there will be a
general outpeuring of the population, with
banners, and palms, crosses, and stats, to 'sol
EMMY consecrate France to the Virgin Mary"
From all parts of the country visitors come by
rail to these gatherings, and at the place where
they are held, the whole population precipi-
tates itself into the streets, or into the quiet
country, to take part in them.

quantity of rolls of paper in which were enclosed
considerable amounts of the United States coins
in use. He was busily engaged in unrolling the
paper and placing the nckels, one, two and five
cent pieces in the bags, counting them as he did
it. He produced hundred dollars, nearly all in
coins of five cents and under He disposed OF
them at the United States Treasury for currency.
He acquired them by the sale of Chinese bladders
and other trinkets. By name he was Charlie

they reached a hundred dollars. Economy that
is one-fourth so exacting would render many
men rich, put thousands who are daily wearing
clothes and eating bread that are unpaid for, in
a condition where they could feel as independent
as Stewart, Vanderbilt or Rotschild, and yet who
are ever euding the pursuit of creditors.

we learn TO cultivate more rigid espionage over
our financial requirements, we have no right to
look for reformation in this particular. While
foreigners are in many instances stintingly penu-

of economy. They had better be close listed than
live at the expense of others. The former is more
spectable-though not more fashionable than

@- Up to 1872 from the foundation of the
Uunited States Government the whole number
of immigrants that have placed their feet upon
our shores is S,62O,452. Previous to 1920, there
were only about 100000. During the year 1872
there were $4,000. This is nearly half mil
lion. At this rate-which is destined to an un-
limited increase-our waste places will be fill ed
up very rapidly. 1t is only within the past
few years that people of foreign birth have be-
come we'll acquainted with our vast domain
and the advantages they can enjoy by loca-

vent them by legislation, but they had as well
pass law to stop the flow of the Rhine as one
to stop immigration to US. England is spend
ing ten or twelve millions per annum to induce
her Irish immigrants to go to Canada. They
get free passage to Canada and then quietly
find their way to the United States

STAND Upon Your MANHOOD. Let every man
and his frends-who is willing or desires to be
upon the Republican ticket, put himself upon the
high and manly plain of Henry Winter Davis in
1861 That was if his feow-citzens OF like SEN
timents desired another to represent them he did
not wish TO embarrass them in their choice
This is manly, high-toued, generous, unselish
and commendable. This is the sort of patriotism
that we need to-day With this sort of devotion
to the party and to oneself live, active interest
in the hearts of the people ticket can be secured
that will place Republicanism in point of num-
bers out of the pale of the rdicue of the Greeley
party 1t will bring our best, most serviceable
material TO the 'front.' enlist the energies of the
people, inspire confidence in the party and bring
success to our banners. Let every man who de-
sres to aid his party and the cause of economy
and retrenchment in good old Baltimore county
go TO work upon this programme This done
the old spawned, bony, diseased Democratic,
Greeley, Conservative horse can get ready for his
speedy demise Republicans, aid him in this all
you can.

Ng- The Greeley party has held its State Con-
vention and demonstrated its preference for the
ems instead of the "outs." This is in keeping
with the antiquated Democratic principle OF FRO,
tation" in office T hat is it rotatcs hSsame par

the way they have "a wheel within wheel"

VIsIT FROM THE SHERIFF.-A few days ago the
smiling and handsome face of Sheriff Purdy
beamed upon our sanctum. We greeted him
with a hearty welcome, for we imagined some
lame duck was to have his property sold for
debt, and we were to print his bills But i'm
agine how the warm currents CONCEALED around
our heart when he blandly informed us that
he had summons for the editor of the Enter
prise, to appear before the County Court in Sep
TENDER to answer the serious charge of malici-
Gus SANDER and libel! We had seriously
wronged and previously injured the character
of j. NJ. Vanartsdalen, attorney at law. of Bris-
toll. On inquiry we learned that a year ago,
more or less, an article in relation to Mr.. V.
was published in a Philadelphia paper, and it
was copied into the Enterprise as piece of To-
cal news. AS we do not know when this &C.
Cured, we cannot find it in our file, and will
have to await further developments before we
can know what the article contained. In the
meantime we shall endeavor to issue the paper
weekly.
The above is from the Buck County Pa En-
terprise, published by E. F. Church, formerly
of this town. Mr.. Church does not seem to be
much frightened at what he has done. from the
cool manner in which he talks about it.

Gs- About eighteen months ago one of the
most interesting cases in the history of Eng
lish law suits was tried in London. 1t was the
Sir Rodger Tichborne case. The suit was for
the recovery of large landed estate that had
fallen to the State in consequence of there be-
ing no heirs at law to takeit. This man com es
along and almost succeeds in making out a
case of identity as being the person who went
to Australia and who was the heir to the entire
estate. Mr.. Whally, member of Parliament.
has arrived in New York in search of testimo-
ny to renew the case, having hopes now Of
succeeding. AS there is no claimant for the
$1,000 York handed to the Legislature of Kan
sas, stating it was bride from Senator Pome-
roy, Mr.. Whally had better claim that in be-
half of his client.

s- From rough calculation we are salts
fed there are five hundred unregistered Re-
publican voters in Baltimore county. We
know of one village that is not very extensive
that contains twenty FIVE. Every one of these
should be hunted up and induced to have him
self registered If every one would manifest
some interest in the matter and discover from
every one within his reach whether he is reg
istered or not, most OF these men could be reg
istered 1t would not take much work Exert
yourselves, fellow citizens, aud the result will
be gratifying.

How CHANGED The Wilmington (Del.) 7ri-
bune says The time was when colored man
would no more be admitted into the parlor of
white gentleman down the Peninsula than his
hog fresh from its waow in the mire. But ac-
cording to the Denton Maryland Union all this
is changed now, and the descendants of Ham, at
least the Ministerial portion ofthem are cordially
invited. The NJ. e. Conference is now in session
at Easton, and this is how the Union says the
colored clergy men are received We learn that
the Easton arstocracy are treating these sable
gentlemen with the utmost courtesy and affabil-
ity. 1t is familiar scene to witness the hand
shaking of some of the professional gentlemen
and those of ''upper tendon" with the sons of
Ham. We learn that Col. Hambleton's parlor
was thrown open to party OF colored guests one
day last week and they were dined ifnot wined,
in the home of our late representative 10 Con-
gress. What has come over the Colonel that he
has so changed in favor Of the colored man A
few short years ago, lie was their most bitter
and most uncompromising enemy. But now
how changed We hope this convention will

AN AMUSING INCIDENT.-Last January gen
tleman living few miles from this place, came
ITO the Clerks office to get marriage license.
Having obtained his license, he started out and
called the Clerk out with him. When they
were both there by themselves, the aforesaid
gentleman asked the Clerk how long was the
license good the Clerk replied that it was good
forever between the parties mentioned. 1t
seems though, the lady mentioned in the said
license, refused to have the man who got it. So
few weeks ago he came back to the clerks Of
fee to get the name changed. But unfortunate
ly for him it could not be done. Our friend had
to buy another-iSnoO Hill (ldd.) Messenger.

AN EXTRAORDINARY LOCAL SroRM-The thun-
der storm which occurred in Baltimore between
two and three o'clock Sunday morning, says
the Sun, was one of the most remarkable that
has ever occurred in this section of the country,
and is described by the signal officer, Dr. H. J..
Penrod, as the heaviest that has occurred since
the establishment of the signal station in this
city. There fell in one hour one inch and thir-
ty-two one hundredths of rain, and what was
most remarkable about the storm, it was con-
fined to Baltimore and the immediate vicinity,
as no rain has been reported from any of the
neighboring cities, from Washington to Cape
May. At Wesley Grove camp meeting, some
fourteen miles from this city, the large assem-
blage of citizens of Baltimore gathered there
passed through calm and pleasant night, en-
tirely unconscious of the terrific storm which
burst upon their homes. Another notable fea-
ture of the storm was the rapidity and blind
-.----.o-.- -.s-sHt--o zo sa..trp
detonations of the thunder, indicating the un-
usually close proximity of the overcharged
clouds.
