Nearly two hundred years ago, in SER

Mather deplores the introduction and use of
rum. at is a common thing that in latter
years kind of strong drink called rum has
been common with US, which the poorer sort
of people, in town and country, can make them

wicked can make themselves drunk for pen

Comptroller Woolford has delivered an
| address-iu writing-to the Maryland Senate
| in general and to Senator Earle in particular,
for failing to appreciate his comprehensive fl
nancial scheme for the State, contained in one
hundred and seventy two capacious sections
The Comptroller will not likely get paid for
the trouble of this address as his extra com
pensation of s., 5OO--for drawing revenue bills
that the Legislature cannot afford to endorse
will have tough time to get through-even
if the Maryland Democracy is not seriously i'll
with economical fever.
The Prohibitionists of Toledo, Ohio, have
nominated full ticket for city officers and
pledged them to the abolition of the liquor
traffic as the most important question before
the public. They invite all citizens opposed
to dram shops to join them in favoring the

suffrage. We trust they will all stick to their
text and vote as they resolve and not vote for
their political party candidate election day
II they do this, some Of them will show that
temperance with them is stronger than De-
mocracy.
Poor Baltimore county has serious time
with propositions in the Legislature wherever
the city is interested in any nner. On Fri
day of last week Senator Davis offered an
amendment to the House bill authorizing the
city of Baltimore to issue bonds to the amount
of 81 ,OOO, 900 to put I'll the Gunpowder river in
the city. Senator Davis amen .ment was to
the effect that the inhabitants of Baltimore
county adjacent to the city should be supplied
with water at the same rates that city people
paid. The proposition received the marked
consideration of having one vote recorded in
its favor. That was Senator Davis.
Joseph Harrison, Jr., of Philadelphia died

employed in 1874 by the Russian government
to construct the railway from st. Petersburg
to Moscow. And when they had completed
the road they contracted to furnish the rolling
stock and run the road for twelve years. AT
the expiration of this contract company Of

THE PRoeRrss or tCarMArroN sir Henri

The PROGRESS OF CORONATION Sir Henry
Thompson's paper ON Coronation" says Lon.
don paper, has attracted much notice in Germa-
ny, having been translated twice, besides obtain
ing warm support from eminent physician,
DR.. Kopl. Moreover, the practical Austrans
have taken the idea up as one that has really now
passed beyond the stage of discussion. The Com
munal Councils of Vienna and Gratz have adopted
proposal to establish in their cemeteries the
necessary apparatus for cremation, "the use of
which will be optional aud open TO ALL" A
"veritable agitation" we are told, has arisen in
both places, though whether the excitement is all
in favor of the fiery furnace innovation, or wheth-
er the attached supporters of their picturesque
churchyards are indignant that these venerable
depositaries of all that is mortal should be de-
prived of their prescriptive rights does not seem
very clear. We can only wish success to an ex-
/ pertinent which will be carried out for our bene-
! fit though not at our cost. Where the light
| hearted Viennese would barn their progenitors
| or descendants without sigh or u murmur, and
afterwards TRANQUILITY contemplate the beloved re
mains in a jar neatly labeled and inscribed with
all the virtues of the lamented deceased, the more
practical English and Americans would like to
proceed by easy stages, without unnecessary
shock to Mrs. Grundy's unaccountably strong
feelings. But when the furnace system becomes
| fashionable on the continent of Europe it will
spread by degrees, and the more advanced spirits
among us will not be slow to defy prejudices by
nobly bequeathing "their works to all ages, theil
bodies TO the consuming fire."

GRAND JURY REPORT.
MARCH TERM, 1874.

GRAND jury Room, March 2Sth. 1874.
TINE Grand Jury respectfully report to the
Judges Of the Circuit Court for Baltimore
county that they have been in session % days
and have had 125 cases before them for action,
which have been disposed of as follows, viz !:
81 Presentments, 40 True Bills found, Pre-
sentiments Ignored and 4 cases referred to next
Grand Jury. They have examined $50 wit
nesses and ordered the release of IA prisoners
confined in Jail.
Owing to the fact that this body was not com.
plete till the eighth day of its session, it was
impossible for it to act in any case, and would
beg to call the attention of the Court to this
fact so that in future it may be avoided if pos
sble.
In their official capacity they visited the
County Jail and found erything in a proper
and clearly condition. They found AZ prison.
ers confined in the Jail, % serving out terms,
II under sentence, 6 awaiting trial and held
as witness OF this number 81 are white
males and white female, II colored males and
l colored female, all comfortably cared for
The Sheriff aud his Deputy deserve credit for
the manner in which they discharge the duties
imposed upon them, as also does the Warden
of the Jail.
They also desire to call the attention Of the
Honorable Court to the extremely large number
of Miquor cases" brought to their notice, and
would especially call attention to the number
of true bills found for selling liquor to minors,
which crime seems to be on the increase.
They would call the attention of the County
Commissioners to the insecure and dangerous
condition OF the ceilings of the Grand Jury
room and the east portico.
They would also recommend that some more
effectual means be adopted as to the manner'o of
reporting licenses, as at present it is impossible
to find out who has and who has not obeyed the
requirements of the law. Owing to the fact
that great many Of the Constables reports
are almost illegible and so mispelled as to the
names of the parties, that committee appoint
ed to look into the matter were obliged to ask
to be discharged before they had completed
their examination.
Owing to the press of business and the long
term in session this body found it impossible
to visit the County Almshouse.
In closing thev would tender their thanks to
all the officers of the Court, TO Mr.. Talbot, and
especially to Mr.. Thomas j. Hunter, Deputy
States Attorney, who has been indefatigable
in his efforts to expedite business and render
assistance and advice

re- On the 9th instant, the members of the
Army of the Potomac and the Ninth Corps
will hold grand reunion at Harrisburg
The most distinguished Generals of the army
have promised to be present and good time
is expected. The fraternal meeting of those
who stood in the leaden hail of the rebellion
to save the Union from ruin is spectacle that
is subject for the muse of the poet or pen ofthe
eloquent. Those are occasions that are enjoyed
by no other people. The Americans mingle
more with each other and know more about
each other than any other people. And it has
grown rapidly since the patriots of the land
rushed to the field of strife to rescue the Re-
public from destruction at the hands of do
mestic foes. And it is we'll. May it long con-
tinue.

@s-The Democrats are beginning to think
of their victims for 1875. Rumor states that
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, is suggested for the
Vice Presidency, while Senator Thurman or
Gen. Hancock is suggested for President. This
combination would present an amusing-and
to Republicans gratifying contrast with Gree
the thing respectfully once more. Let them
take Ben. Batter for President-he has never
said half the sacred things about them that
Horace Greeley did-and some Democratic rep

against members of The order keeping saloons,
as it was considered as being "at variance with
the very elementary principles on which the
whole fabric Of the Masonic institution is based"
The Maryland Legislature has appropra-
ted $4,000 for the purpose of ventilating the
State House. Those who have watched the
proceedings there for the past three months are
doubtless aware that there is abundant neces-
sity for the ventilation of that ancient build
ing but we had no idea that the virus had be
come SO rife therein as to require $4,000 to ex-
pei it from the capitol.
