This same fear disturbed the minds OF iron,

that two Wiltshire lawmakers, going home
from work, espied the reflection of the
moon in a pond, and took it for a lump of
gold. One took off his boots and stock
ings, waded in and tried to lay hold of
the glittering prize; it was too deep for
his reach, so, selling hold of his rake, he
began to rake the water, and persevered,
until party of Somersetshire mowers
came along, and jeered him as moon
raker" Anxious to remove the slur of
stupidity from his countryman, Mr. Aker-
man ingeniously accounts for the opprobi-
Gus nickname in this way: "Piple gay as
how they gied tn neame O. wood-rakers to

laugh at he, when em got whoame the
stuff" By the way, has the saying, "The

with taking the moons shadow for

Some Remarkable Chess-Playing.

THE chess club at Sheffield, Eng, has
been excited Of late over the mental
feat of Mr.. Black burne, who fought ten
strong players at the same time, and with
out the sight of either board or men. Mr..
Blackburne, though only thirty years Of
age, occupies very distinguished posi-
ton among English chess-players, and it
is singular fact that he is most success
full when the boards and men are kept
from his view. His opponents on this oc-
casion were seated at tables extending
nearly the whole length Of the room,
while he sat near the fire with his back to
the boards, calmly smoking cigar, and
occasionally conversing with bystander.
Play commenced at 5 80, and was contin-
ued until midnight, with an interval of
about fifteen minutes recess, when the
contest had lasted two hours. At first the
audience seemed afraid to move or speak,
lest they should disturb the memory of
Mr.. Blackburne, but they were informed
by him that he did not mind a noise, and
for the remainder of the evening the room
was anything but quiet The general re-
suit Of the game was that Mr.. Black
burne won six games drew two, and lost
two. The ten players were all members
of the club, excepting Mr. Whitney, who
is the Consular Agent for the United
States at Huddersfield, and has some repu-
tation as a chess-player, being himself
able to conduct four simultaneous games
blindfolded Mr. Blackburne was loudly
applauded at the close, and indeed several
times during the match, and especially
when he demonstrated the announced
mate in four moves.

EVERYBODY has heard Of the quack
doctor who was in the habit of giving his
patients medicine which would throw
them into fits and then doctoring them for
fits, which he considered his speciality.
This case has been paralleled by that of
an old man calling himself DR.. Teasdills,
who was found dead in his Office in
Buffalo a few days ago. An examination
of his correspondence and accounts led to
the belief that the principal part of his
income was gained by persuading credul-
Gus patients that they were suffering from
the presence Of a frog in each Of their
stomachs, and then going to work vigor-
ouslv to exterminate the frog!

the fruition of the credit; and if, as his
enemies allege, he has brought r!.3 city to
the verge of ruin and disaster, he should
be ct the helm to meet the responsibility
and share the odium. He is by no means
sectional man, and the ex-Confederate
and Southern man receive employment at
his hands as readily as any other appli-
cant. Had the choice been left to the
white taxpayers of the District Ito say
nothing of the colored mem he would have
received nine tenths of their votes. Presi-
dent Grant did wise and judicious act
when he appointed him Governor, as it also
meets with the universal approval of nine
ty-nine out of every hundred of the citi-
zens of the United States who visit the
National Capital. They feel debt of
gratitude to the man who had the genius,
courage, and will to do what we consid-
cred would be making Washington the
capital of a great and free people. They
would be willingly taxed ten-fold to have
the improvements continued. These are
the feelings that animate every one who
knows what has been done for Washing
ton in the past three years. And the honor
is justly due Governor Shepherd, for he
has done more for the people of his terri
tory for the last three years than has been
done in the last half century. The value
of real estate has inc: easeo fifty per cent
in all parts of the city in the last two
years. The people here say all honor to
General Grant for the appointment of Mr..
Shepherd, and that he has appreciated the
services of faithful public servant whom
they love, honor, and respect

Excitement Among Sesoing Machine Agen

Excitement Among !Seuing Machine Agents.
On Thursday evening of last week, two
sewing machine agents met here. They
had been canvassing this neighborhood,
and the agent of the Elias Howe, Jr.,
agreed to sell "Bogus Howe" Machine
as he termed it, to lady in the neighbor-
hood for $35; the other agent said he would
sell an Elias Howe Machine for $40. A
gentleman took them up and offered to
take both at the prices named. l under
stand the agents both backed out. In the
evening they met at the Swamp Hotel
Then commenced lively time. The " I'M
proved agent made an onslaught on the
Elias Howe, Jr., with bill duke. The
latter did some fast moving; making lit
tie the fastest time on record on this course.
He reached for stone and turning threw
it at the man with the knife, just missing
him. His partner threw stone at the
gentleman who had already resumed his
headlong speed down the Perryville road.
Mr. Boyd then interfered and compelled
the bellgerents to desist. The magistrate
at Port Deposit, bound the man with a
knife over in the sum of $500 to appear at
Court.
