The scene was striking. The barn was dimly
lighted by the candles, the faces of all were SO
Der, some were thoughtful. Many of the men
were gray and toll-worn, and some of the wo-
men, if not beautiful, had sweet charm in
their faces. Sometimes German or an Eng

the barn, and then there was deep silence
again broken only by slight rustllngs In the
watching to see what new ceremony would
next be started from the cross table at which
the bunker preacher sat. Here was strange
mixture of the true and false; ritual rude
and yet refined, and closely observed by
these farmers as are the forms of st. Adams by
its fashionable devotees.

ssFRIDAY This is usually regarded as an I'M
lucky day, and the superstition is peculiarly pre-
valent among sailors. Some time ago an attempt
was made to eradicate it by laying the keel of
vessel on Friday, launching her on Friday, chris
tening her on Friday, and starting her on her
first voyage on Friday. With great difficulty
enough sailors could be induced to go on board
to man her. She left port and-was lost.
This unfortunate experience did not do much
to eradicate the superstition, but nevertheless in
spite Of it, Friday has been an eventfu' and gen.
orally suspicious day in American history.
On Friday Columbus started on his voyage OF
discovery, and ten weeks afterward, also on Fri
day, be discovered America On Friday the May
flower landed the Pilgrims at Plymouth; George
Washington was born on Fridar

gs- The Marlboro Gazette of 9th inst. says
"1he terrible drouth still prevails in this section.
In many places no rain to penetrate the earth has
fallen since May. The streams are failing, and
pastures cannot sustain the cattle very much
longer. Many of our largest tobacco growers
have not planted any portion of that crop, and
now the plants have become literally burnt up in
the beds. 1t is safe to say that under no circum-
stances can half crop of tobacco be raised in
this county, and unless we have rain soon, the
corn crop must be greatly diminished. The pros
pect for the farmer is more gloomy than we have
ever known it,

considerable time and then grew calm under the
cool demeanor of the men.
Swanburg and Furguson took the ships boats
and loaded the passengers in. They made them
selves masters of the situation. In order to pre-
vent any ugly rushing one of them took up a
Ratchet and threatened to cut down any man
who attempted to enter boat until all the women
were saved. Thepassengers were housed In barns
and outhouses as soon as they were landed.
This whole disaster-as was that of the AT
lantic''-was owing to the incompetency of those
having charge Of her. And to send a steamer to
sea on voyage across the ocean without CIV
ing her in charge of men who are thoroughly ac-
ouainted with the art of avigation-thoroughl
booked in the chart and well acquainted with the
operation of the compass is piece of willful i'm
position upon the travelling public that deserves
the severest rebuke. To send five hundred hui
man beings adrift on the Atlantic ocean without
a captain or a mate that can tell within hun
bred and fifty miles of where they are deserves
the keenest condemnation imaginable. Those
who have power to reach the case should use it SO
potently that every steamship line will see to it
that no steamer puts to sea without being placed
under the control Of officers who are thoroughly
qualified to discharge faithfully the responsible
duties resting upon them.

Every one who knows anything about the sit
uaton among the disciples of Horace Greeley is
we'll acquainted with the fact that large major
ity of the thinking ones are completely Disguised
with the manner in which our public affairs are
conducted. Honest adherents OF the so-called
Democracy can see nothing in the party that is
worthy to be compared TO it when that old party
was in'its palmiest days. They c4n see among
them but few who are disposed to Conduct politi-
cal affairs as they were twenty years ago. Every
thing to them has changed. Then when man
was elected to fill an Office he took it, discharged
the duties faithfully and made out of it none but
legal fees and returned to the State all beyond
what the law allowed him to retain. Is this the
case nowadays? And are honest Democrats
satisfied with thisarrangement to-day To answer
Ibis question one only needs to talk with those
whom be meets. That the people are sorely tired
of the manner of conducting our affairs every one
knows who know the public sentiment. That
they are abundantly ready to change the admin
istration every well posted man is well aware
That it only needs proper opportunity to make

power by Kidding themselves of those vampires
that flourish upon their substance.
Men are no longer welded so thoroughly to
Democracy that they are willing to pay any price
for it in the shape of taxes Give US the right
sort of q ticket-the best men we can finland
the false Democracy will be SO terribly defeated
that it shall be astonished at itself.

were rejoiced everywhere, while the hitherto
hopeful Greeley crowd wore long faces and went
through the canvass mourning. And when the
contest was closed, the ballots counted and the
result announced Gen. Dix was Governor Dix by
more than .ftfy-si1 thousand majority
Baltimore county Republicans, go thou and do
likewise. Select the most discreet and reliable
men you have as delegates to your county con-
vention and let them seek the most efficient, pru-
Dental, intelligent and sober men in the county
for our standard bearers. Let them make ticket
of this character, throwing aside every man who
would in any way endanger its success. Do this
and the disciples of Horace Greeley will retire
from public service in the county.

CRY EXTENSION. According to the statement
of the county expenses by the County Commits
soners our taxpayers last year contributed $l3,-
474.24 towards opening streets in Baltimore
county around the city limits. These streets,
we believe, are to correspond, as far as possible,
to the plat of the streets of Baltimore city. Now
the wisdom of those who reap some benefit from
this tells us that there is no necessity for the
tension of the city limits This may be so. Then
lift is so, why is the peoples money spent to
the tune Of more than thousand dollars
month-more than thirty dollars a day--in To-
eating imaginary lines for streets to correspond
with the city streets? This is a question which
every taxpayer in the county has an interest in
having answered. Have the law repealed. If
the city is not to be extended some time in the
near future why not wait until towns are form
ed around and then shape the streets to suit their
requirements There is one serious objection to
putting a stop to this business. 1t is very seri-
Gus too. 1t would put few gentlemen to the
announcement necessity of hunting other employ
ment. As this is a valid objection we withdraw

Gice as the Best Material.

The happiest nominations and the most success
ful results often flow from the selection OF dele
gates without reference to the promotion of any
particular candidates interest, but because they
are men of sound discretion and good judgment.
To them can be entrusted the highest welfare OF
State and advancement of the party. Such was
the history of the State convention that nomina-
led the Republican STATE ticket last summer Tor
The Empire State CT New York.
There were several gentlemen of prominence
and ability whose names had been canvassed for
the nomination for Governor. When theconven-
ton came together the delegates talked them all
over. They detected and calmly suggested the
objections that applied to each name that had
been canvassed. They reasoned together and
said it will not do to nominate this man because
be is Objectionable to that particular class. This
other candidate is not available for one or two
slight reasons. And third man is deemed moi
n fortunate candidate because he will not be able
to satisfy certain wishes and certain elements
They came together to nominate their best aOditG
bic man. Their object was to secure the success
of the Republican party and carry the State
They considered it the duty of eCeTy possible can
didate to stand aside when the cause was at stake
In their wisdom they dropped all the candidates
that had been talked up end in their sovereign ca
pacity picked of the illustrious Gen. John "A. DIX

WHAT SHOULD BE DoNE-We have more than
once admonished our ellow-citizens in the differ
ent districts not to allow any particular set of
men any where in the county or out of it to
make ticket for them this fall. AS there are
but one or two candidates spoken of for any of
the offices it would be coed time for the peo-
pie in the different districts to hunt up for them
selves some of their fellow-citizens who would
make competent and credtable officers. This
should be done at once and their names announc
ed-in order that their relative merits and de-
merits may be fully canvassed. We think that
the best possible ticket should be selected after a
mature elaboration. The candidates should not
be selected with any reference as to what they
may be expected to do in the future for any man
or set Of men or combination. Their ability, in
tegrity and popularity alone, independent of and
above every other consideration should place
them upon the ticket as the sandard-bearers of
the party. Do this and we shall ourselves be
astonished at the result, while our enemies will
quail and retire.

The "OLD CoMMoNER'' ON THE TRAcK.-The
fastest time ever made by horseaesh anywhere in
the world, so far as the records show, was made
at a running race at Sacramento, CAL, a few
days ago. Five heats scored only minutes and
seconds. The best time made by the winners
was 1:43. and the poorest l:463. This is almost
equal to railroad speed. At this rate the horses
OF the Pacific slope will soon get up reputation.
The winning horses, in order of merit, were Thad.
