Maryland's Centennial.


In the First Branch of the Baltimore
City Council, last week, John I. Ford,
Esq, introduced the following preamble
and resolution, which were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, The 10Th of October of the
present year is the centennial anniversary,
Of the burning of the Peggy Stewart" /"
loaded with teas, in the harbor of Annap-
oils, by Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, and
other eminent Marylanders; an act at the
time Of great daring and unquestioned pa
triotism, yindicatiug the sincerity of our
people of one hundred years ago in resist
ing oppression, and about which McMahon,
the celebrated historian of Maryland, says:
"The tea burning at Boston has acquired
renown as an act of unexampled daring in
that day in the defense of American lib
critics, but the tea burning at Annapolis,
which occurred in the ensuing fall far
surpasses it in the apparent deliberation
and utter carelessness Of its concealment
attending the bold measures which led to
its accomplishment" and as it seems emf
neutly proper to commemorate glorious
deeds of the past upon ft anniversaries
therefore,
Resolued by The Mayor and City Coan-
eli Of baltimore, That the Mayor shall re-
quest the citizens Of Baltimore to observe
the 10Th Of October ensuing as general
holiday, that he shall direct the closing Of
public Offices under his charge, the sus-
pension of holding the markets, and sug-
gest that the schools of the city shall have
no session on that day; also that flags shall
then be displayed from all city buildings.

colored wash for Fences.

The following, says the Massachusetts
Pioughman, is most excellent, cheap and
durable wash for wooden fences and build
ings. 1t owes its durability to the ,olifs
uitriol which hardens and fxes the wash !:
Take barrel and slack one bushel Of
freshly burned lime in It, by covering the
lime with boiling water.
After 1t is. Stacked, add cold water
enough to bring it to tho consistency of
good whitewash. Then dissolve in water,
and add one pound Of white vitrieI (sul.
phate Of zlnc,) and one quart Of fine salt
To give this wash cream color, add
ons-half a pound Of yellow ochre, (iu
powder) To give i "a fnu look, add
pound Of yellow ochre, and one-faurth Of
pound Of Indian red.
To make this wash handsome gray
stone color, add one-half q pound Of French
blue, and one-fourth pound Of Indian red
a drab viii be made BY adding one-half Of
a pound of burnt sienna, and one.fourth
pound Of Venetian red.
For brick or stone, instead Of one busheI
of lime, use half busael Of lime, and half
a bushel Of hydraulic cement

A writer in Laad and Hsster gives some
curious instances Of the sensibility Of
ducks to colors and musical sounds. He
once had in his garden border OF China
asters of the most brilliant colors. The
ducks would congregate round these and
lie there for hours. They never pecked at
them as If they found snails or slugs
amongst them. They appeared simply
gazing at them, as il attracted by the cay
colors. Another time he had large
clump Of very brilliant violet flowers, which
by their brightness shone out from the
rest Of the border. This clump was Ikea
magnet to the ducks; some Of them were
always around It, One evening the writer
had party Of friends 1t was summer
time, and the doors Of the sitting-room
were open to the lawn. One Of the com
pany commenced playing on the piano.
No sooner was there pause in the music
than two ducks, which had by some means
got into the room, rose from under chair
and waddled all over the apartment, quack-
ing loudly. On the music commencing
again the ducks crouched down, perfectly
silent while it continued. The experiment
was made several times, with the same
result. That it was not surprise or fear
which induced this behavior was after
wards proved, for on subsequent occasions
these same ducks would, upon hearing the
piano, leave the field and come into the
room % listen.

The Trae Coarss tor Rmployss.


The Mercantile Journal gives sensible
editorial on this subject, which We copy IN
part as follows:
The true question for an employee Is
not how much he can get forthwith, but
how he eau keep steadily employed, The
men who got rich are not usually the
strikers who refuse to work for particular
wages Strikers are apt to waste in idle
ness, in the course Of year or two time
wherein they could have earned more than
the amount for which they strike. Those
who increase their income are the men
who accustom themselves to regular in
dustry, who keep steadily at work for such
compensation as they can set, live within
their means, save money, and invest it.
Thus they keep up good income and
Increase il from year TO year quite as
fast, 10 most cases, as they become able to
manage it with Judgment The employees
who takes the most pains 70 find out
exactly what service his employer wants,
to render that service carefully and gener-
ously, and who, having mustered the
details Of his work, does not leave il 10 90
into some other employment where larger,
but uncertain compensation is promised, is
the man who is morally certain to rise.
n
When hard times come, or when his EN-
ployer Is unfortunate ana is compelled To
retrench, he is the man who will not bo
dismissed, and who win not lose time in
seeking work, when he would, Of necessity,
be eating up his savings till he finds il.
When vacancies occur III the establishment
he is the one who viii be entrusted with
the most valuable work, which commands
the highest pay. When his employer
wants partner, he is the man likely 10 be
chosen. When others are discharged for
incompetency, he will be retained for his
knowledge Of the work and his known
reliability make for him good position in
which he IS sure to be able to DO well.
True, this way Of life Is not always easy,
it requires sclfeontrol, conscience and
steadfastness; but it is the way to self
respect, honorable standing, legitimate
wealth aud happiness.

A French paper gives detailed account
Of the manufacture Of false eyes in Paris,
from which the curious facts appears that
the average sale per week for eyes intend
ed for the human head amounts TO four
hundred. One Of the leading dealers in
this article carries on the business in a
saloon of great magnifcence. His servant
has but one eye, and the effect Of any Of
the eyes wanted by customers is convent

The foreign trade Of the United States,
judging from the returns at the port Of
New York, has not suffered so severely
this year from the effects of the financial
crisis as was anticipated, and the decline
has been only in the imports. The aggre-
gate exports of the first nine months Of
1874 are largely in excess of those Of the
corresponding period Of 1873. In some
articles the export has this year been very
much ahead OF last year, this being par
ticularly the ease in -four, wheat, corn,
peas, oats, butter and cheese, tallow, to-
bacco and petroleum, which are al leading
articles of export. The wheat export thus
far this year is nearly double that Of last
year, whilst nearly fifty per cent increase
is shown IN the corn trade. There has
been'a decline in the expectation Of lard
and cut meats, but the rest Of the proyi-
sion trade shows an increase The cotton
export from New York shows a considera-
bic decline, as it is becoming more and
more the European custom to draw their
cotton supplies direct from the Southern
Shipping ports.

The swindled depositors in the Freed
mans Rank are beginning to be clamor-
Gus for a dividend. That the poor, but
industrious negroes should have been
plundered Of their small savings by those
who pretended to be their friends was the
meanest kind Of robbery, aud only finds a
parallel in the losses sustained by the negro
soldiers after the war through dishonest
agents, who undertook to collect the boun-
" money duo to their dusky clients, and
put Il in their own pockets, and suddenly
disappeared.
