"A society has been organized in London for
the promotion of trade and investments in the
Southern and Western States by some of the
wealthiest men in England. The name of the
institution is the Mississippi Valley Society.
The shortest way to settle those people who
a0iU agitate the question of the extension of the
city limits is to submit the question to the dis
erection of the next Grand Jury. If they can't
settle it, the question must be just the knottiest
one that has been up for adjudication lately.
Eek Governor and ex-Confederate Henry
A. Wise of Virginia, delivered the annual ad-
dress at the commencement of Roanoake Col
lege few days ago. During his remarks he
stated that the system of slavery and planta-
tions that was peculiar to the South was detri-
mental to her development in manufacturing
and commercial point of view. This he stated
is why no fourishing city has grown up at the
mouth of the Chesapeake bay.
Our esteemed friend Col. VIM. A. Nickel

prosperous voyage and pleasant sojourn

Gen. Davis has sent squad of men in pur-

this creates scarcely ripple on the surface Of
society, while the work of Captain Jack was
pictured to our forty millions of people as the
consummation of the most cruel and savage
treachcry? 1t was all treachery when Captain
Jack shot man. But it seems to be small

gored by our neighbors or his by ours.

Z MING OF RACING STABLEs.-0n Monday
morning last the racing stables of John Turn
er, at "Point Breeze Park" near Philadelphia,
were entirely consumed by fire, and out of sew
enteen trotters in the stables at the time, but
six were saved. Most of the horses were own
ed by private gentlemen living in Philadel-
phia, and the estimated loss is $780, 800, upon
which there is a small insurance. Mr.. Turner
who owned the stables, besides the loss on
buildings, looses also several valuable horses,
amounting in the aggregate to $4,000.
The horses burned, says the Philadelphia
Bulletin, were as follows:
/ s'Dot," valued at $4,000 (worth much more),
and owned by Turner. This animal had a
record of 2.324, and was we'll known.
Bay mare "Sister to Netty," owned by Frank
Ellis, five years old, valued at $4,000 and in
sured for 81 ,25O.
"Daisy Vernon" bay mare owned by F.
B. Coulston, seven years old, and valued at
$1,000.
A-brown stallion, owned by VIM. P. Young,
and valued at 1000.
Black mare "Lady Girard," owned by VIM.
Hunsicker, very fast animal, and valued at
$4,000.
Bay gelding, owned by a Third street broker
named Smith, valued at 81 500.
A bay Patchen mare, owned by Geo. Fore
paugh, valued at $4,000.
A bay Hambletonian stallion, styled "Bru-
tus," lately purchased by Richard Penistan
for $4,000, worth $4,000.
A sorrel horse, owned by Franks and White,
good trotter and valued at $500.
The gray gelding "Safe," with record of
2.29, owned by Mr.. Yewdel, and valued at
$500.
A brown colt, four years old, owned by son
of Prot Pancost, valued at 81 ,000.
From the above it will be seen that the loss
in horses alone amounts to $40, 500, upon which
there is a single insurance of 81, $50.

ONE BROTHER KILLS ANoTHER.-A correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Gazette, writing from
Northampton county, Va, under date of June
23d, says:
"a very sad affair took place in our county
last Friday evening. Levin Thomas, son of G.
l.. j. Thomas, was shot and killed instantly by
his brother, Josie Thomas. Levin was in the
habit of going to the store of his father, in which
his youngest brother was clerking, and taking
anything he wanted-money, goods, etc., be-
sides beating his brother when he saw fit. The
younger brother reported this to his father, who,
it seems could do nothing with him.
1.-THE father, in an unguarded moment, told
the boy TO shoot him. When he came again be
refused him admittance, whereupon Levin broke
one of the windows He was called away just
at that moment, and when he turned to leave,
his brother in the store fired, and the ball striking
him in the head, killed him instantly.
"Great sympathy is felt by the community for
the family. Since the affair, Josie has disap.
peared. 1t is thought the father has him con-
cealed"

A ROMANCE IN CRIME. 1t seems very probable
that the commonplace character of modern life
has the effect to drive some men into crime mere
ly for the qualification of love of adventure
1t is doubtful whether man of real ability will
endure the contempt which always accompanies
the notoriety OF a thief if he can find scope for
action in mode of life of a kind to win mems
respect. The suicide of Henry Austin, alias
Montcref Waddams in the Trenton penitentiary
on Tuesday, gives occasion for brief biography
that should not prove uninstructive. Waddams
was his real name, and be was born of wealthy
family in the north of England. After gradua-
ting at Eaton, he was released, through family
influence from arrest for misdemeanor at Leeds,
on condition of his leaving the country. He ar
rived in New York in 1862, and at once became
a bounty jumper He exerted himself with so
much ability and discretion that, it is said, he re.
allied $40, 900 from that species of specula-
ton. After short visit to England, he return
ed, and began a career as horse thief on the
Pennsylvania and New Jersey line with singular
success. Four years ago the farmers of New Jer-
sey found it necessary to combine against him
and his associates. In 1869, while riding off on
a thoroughbred mare belonging to John Stuty,
living near Kingston, N j., he was fred at, but
eluded his pursuers by escaping on foot into
swamp.
That same night, with boldness that chal-
lenges admiration, he emerged from his hiding
place, and escaped on fine horse belonging to a
farmer near Gloucester. He sold the horse the
next day in the Bulls Head Market, West Phila-
dephia. 1t is estimated that he stole nearly a
hundred horses before his arrest. Upon his Sec
ond passage from England, he had brought with
him handsome and accomplished wife, who fol-
lowed him in his sinuous career OF crime with
feminine devotion, and even suffered imprison-
ment for six months for attempting to aid him to
escape from the Elizabeth Jail, by smuggling in
a number of fine saws, a file and some steel wire
secreted in the back of small case containing
her picture This was in the early part of 1872
The glamour of criminal romance adds its own
horror to the sequel of the story. Recently be
learned, while serving five years sentence, that
his wife, who had just been released from his own
prison, and from whom he had just exacted
promise of fidelity, had closed her long years Of
devotion to him, alIured by the promises and
wealth of prominent Trenton politician. After
this, he became respondent, and on Tuesday he
secured shoemaker's knife, with which he put
an end to his life bleeding to death before his
keepers discovered him.

OVER WoRKED.-Horace F. Clark, the Presi-
dent of the Lake Shore and Michigan Railroad,
died in New York on Friday last. He was be-
sides being President of the above named road,
President of the Union Pacific Railroad and d.
rector in several others. He is said to have died
of over work. This is a frequent cause of pre-
mature death nowadays. There are many men
who are over worked. They live at break neck
speed. They are constantly on the 60. They
rush from one place of business to another. They
are thinking, planning, executing as they CO.
At table while eating they are transacting bust
ness, thus robbing the stomach of the vitaizing
fluid that is essential to digestion and healthy
condition of body and mind. While attempting
to sleep they have the mental machinery work
ing at white heat throwing off its results that are
to tell in the morrow's operations on change, in
stocks, business speculations This is what ter
minated the useful life of the lamented Governor
Geary. There are thousands of others who pur-
sue the same folly and share the same untimely
demise

AsroUNDING.-"P Professor" West was recently
tried for murder in Dover, Delaware. The facts
connected with his brutal murder of a negro,
the SHINING of the dead body, and the attempt
afterwards to burn the mutlated remains, to-
gether with the building in which they were
lying, are too well known throughout the coun
try to need recapitulation. West confessed his
crime with all the revolving particulars. He
was recently tried for it, and put in plea of
insanity. The jury ignored the plea and yet
acquitted him, "On what ground 2" asked the
Judge. "Self defence" replied the twelve good
men, and the professors" brother, turning to
newspaper correspondent with a broad grin,
said: "They don't hang a man in this part ofthe
country for killing niger" Here we have
another eloquent illus tration of the inestima-
BILE value of the prevailing jury system. West
is now to be tried for arson, but as he set fire to
his office in order to burn up "niggers" body,
of course that will not be considered crime
and he will secure second acquittal. Such is
modern life under the benign laws of Christi
anity and civilization.-N. ?. Peerless.

ROYAL SHow.-On Monday the distinguished
Heather Prince, the Shah of Persia, was the guest
of Engand's royalty. The first families of the
British Isles put on their best appearances and
were proud of making grand display before a
fellow who knew nothing about frst-class
show on water. The English feet, forty-four
vessels strong, was strung out in a three-lined
semi-circle in Portsmouth harbor where it was
viewed and inspected by the royalty of benight-
ed Persia, whose Princes have never placed foot
out of Asia since the days of Xerxes, under the
enlightened guidence of English nobility. The
town of Portsmouth was gay with steamers,
arches and banners. The Shah was received
with salutes of welcome, placed in the royal
yacht and steamed out amidst the feet, under
the eyes of thousands of curious spectators. AZ
ter the review was over grand banquet was
held at Portsmouth. In a conversation with
Minister Schenck the Shah expressed his admit
ration for the United States about which he had
heard so much, regretted the distance to US was
so great which prevented his visiting our coun-
try and desired that his compliments be sent TO
the President.
The personal habits of the Shah are thus de-
scribed by correspondent of the London Times
"The Shah is, according to European notions,
savage in many respects-proud, wilful, SEN
sual and arbitrary. punctuality be the po-
likeness of princes, as it is said to be- the Shah
would, in consequence of his utter indifference
to engagements, be one of the most ill-mannered
men in the world. He kept the parade at Pots
dam, ordered by the Kaiser, waiting couple Of
hours. He kept the Queen for half an hour at
the railway station waiting for him. He would
not go to breakfast when it was announced at
the time of invitation, but walked about in the
garden, and then, seeing an arbor which pleased
him, desired to have his breakfast brought there.
When he sat at dinner yesterday he put his fin
gers in his plate and ate with Them and if he
came on piece of some dish which he dot like,
he took it out of his mouth and threw it down
not on the ground, but on the Queens (Em.
press's) dress. II free from the more horrid Vi.

Attend to Your Business.

This fall all the county Offices are to be filed
except the member of theState Senate and States
Attorney. 1t is an important election. 1t is i'm
portant from number of considerations. The
Clerk and the Register of Wills are to serve for
six years. There will be no opportunity to
change these until the expiration of that time.
The legislature will have to elect United
States Senator whose term of office will continue
for six years. This is something big with i'm
portance, if we carry the legislature.
The question of submitting to the people with
in a certain limit Of the boundary of Baltimore
city whether they will be taken into the city or
remain in the county is likely to come up. This
is question of more than one aspect. 1t is COM
pick and complicated. There are great many
things to be learned and considered before any
possible candidate for the legislature, of either
party, can arrive at just and equitable conclu-
sion in the premises. These things must be
thoroughly Investigated. This requires an &C.
tive, industrious mind, one calculated to take
ideas rapidly and view matters without preiu-
dice. To do this we should have the best men
the county can afford in point of intellect talent,
sound integrity ofcharacter. They must be those
who will not be swayed by any pressure that
may be brought to bear upon them as mere party
measures or considerations. Then let each To-
cality in the county begin at once to bring out
their best, most reliable citizens for some posi-
ton. Let their names be canvassed and their
fitness thoroughly discussed, SO that when our
primary meetings are called and our convention
assemblies, there will be nothing for the dele
gates to do but to execute the will of the people
in making nominations. Let this be done and
we shall astonish ourselves at the result. We
shall come out of the contest and see the politi-
clans wearing faces as long as New Jersey rail-
way because they see their plans knocked into
pie. But if we stand still and allow them to do
the work, you will spend the time till election in
useless criticism and bear the modification of an
ignominious defeat. There is no time to lose.
Begin at once. Announce your best men. Stir
the matter until the people determine to select
them
