@WELL SAID---LFromt the New York World. ]
After reading the speeches made at the New
England dinner all the rest Of the United
States locks very SMALL to US in comparison
with the territory comprised by the great
States of Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massa.
chusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
And when one considers how vastly superior
the Eastern Yanke,, is to everybody else,
how much greater his "soui power" IL, ETC.,
one is almost forced TO tie conclusion that
there is little use In ones living and trying
10 DO anything unless he has been born in
one Of those New England States.

DETECTION OF COUNTERFEIT NoTEs.-It is
taid the intuition Of the Treasury girls at
Washington serves them well in the coun-
tesSeit business, and General Spinner, who
has had twelve years experience in the
WORK, says they are worth ten times as much
as the men for such business. {" A man al
ways bas reason for a counterfeit" says the
General; forty, may be, but he is wrong
half the time" A woman never has reason.
She says Ills counterfeit because it is coun-
lcrleit, and she's always right, though she
couldn't tell how she found out If she were

Many persons wonder why taxes are
higher now than formerly, and why there
is so much greater scramble for office at
the present time, than there was few
years ago. These things will be no longer
wonder if the prices now paid for official
services are compared with former rates.
When such men as Skunk, Bgler and
Johnson, were Governors of Pennsylvania
the Governors salary was $3,000 Now it
is $4,000. Then the Governors messen-
ger received $400, now $1,000. There
were then no pages in either House. Now
there are about seventy-hve. Then the
public grounds were cared for by an old
man for $500 year. Now the State D avs
$4,000 for that duty. To inaugurate a
Governor cost $500 or $4O0. Now it costs
$4,000. The State then contributed moth
ing toward the burial of Governor, but
the recent burial of an Ex-Governor cost
the treasury from $4,000 to $4,000. The
members of the Legislature then consider
cd $500 sufficient pay for their services each
session. The last Legislature voted them
selves $1,000, and made the pay of their
successors $1,000. And thus we might go
on with a long list, but the above will be
examples enough to show why taxes are
higher and greed for Office greater than in
former years. The people can remedy
these evils whenever they learn to consider
honesty and capacity of more Importance
than party success.

Daring Robbery by Masked Men.

On Saturday night last, shortly before
o'clock, the residence of Joshua Eagleston,
five miles from Baltimore on the Belair
road, was visited by four masked men,
supposed to be white, who gained admit
tance by knocking at the front door. The
men Immediately demanded Mr.. Eagle
ston's money, which being refused he was
handcuffed and a pistol presented to his
head, with threat that he would be shot
if he moved. Two of the party then pro-
ceeded up stairs and thoroughly overhauled
all the drawers, lifted up the carpets, and
broke open trunk, from which $10S was
taken. The robbers went so far as to COM
pei Mrs. Eageston to take off her stock
ings, thinking she might have concealed
money therein. Mrs. Eagleston has been
in feeble health for The past nine years, and
the fright occasioned has rendered her
much worse. After securing their plunder
the handouts were removed from Mr..
EaglestOn and the robbers departed. The
dwellings of Mr.. Silas Plowman and Mr..
Henry Knies, in the same neighborhood,
were entered n short time since and rob-
bed. The daring character of Saturday
nights robbery has startled the entire
neighborhood. Baltimore County Union.
