THE MARYLAND EYE AND EAR INSTITUTE
This excellent Institution, located at No
6G North Charles street, Baltimore, receives
from the State an appropriation for the treat
ment of all poor persons afflicted with eye or
ear trouble free of all charge provided they
bring permit from the Commissioners of
the county in which he or she may reside.
This being the case, it would be well for all
poor persons so afflicted to make applica ton
to the County Commissioners for such per-
nit. We have no doubt that the treatment
given will be just as careful as if the patient
paid for the professional service at the regu-
lar rate of charge. The institution named is
under the charge of DR.. George Reuling, who
is ably assisted by DR.. Wake B. Munnikhuy-
sen, of this county. Circulars may be OBJ
tanned of Mr.. James A. Fulton, Clerk of the
Board, or by applying in person or by letter
to DR.. Munnikhuysen, who is at present in
charge of the institution, during the absence
in Europe of Dr. Reuling.

RESIGNATION OF POSTMASTER GENERAL
public the telegraph announced on Wednes-
day the resignation of Postmaster General
Creswell. The reasons for this apparently
sudden act are only matters of conjecture.
Mr.. Creswell in his letter of resignation says
he is constrained by proper regard for his
private interests, but it is alleged in some
quarters that the friendly feelings between
President and the head of the Postoffice
Department have been disturbed--the dis
turbing cause being certain Republicans in
Maryland who were unceremoniously set
down last fall by the friends of Mr. Creswcl.
1t is stated that the President has rendered

ADJOURNMENT OF CoNGREss.-The first
session ofthe Forty-third Congress adjourned
sine die on Tuesday, to the grief of hundreds
of interested lobbyists who had questionable
measures pending, which were not brought
up, and to the general relief of the country
Among the important measures passed were
the currency, moiety and bankrupt bills, also
bill to abolish poygamy in Utah. The bills
to admit Colorado and New Mexico as States
into the Union, the new reciprocity treaty
with Canada, the tariff bill, and the recogni-
ton of Cuba failed to pass both Houses.
The body seemed to be possessed with Il
spirit of investigating the various schemes of
plumber having headquarters at Washington,
That their Investigations resulted in the dis
covery of something wrong in the case OF
Boss Shepherd and his contracts for public
improvements may be inferred from the fact
that when that gentleman's name was propos-
ed by President Grant as q member of the
commission created by the Senate he was re-
jected by vote of3G to G. Ex-senator Cat
TEL of New Jersey was then nominated and
confirmed without opposition.
Fewer jobs and corrupt schemes were al
lowed to go through than in any session since
the war; congressman evidently having a
wholesome dread of exposure through the
newspapers
A SHOCKING MURDER IN BALTIMORE
On Tuesday night a party of sporting men
aud ntl orc nj, LODI at Iva, Sl,ryunnJ
House, on the corner of Fayette and Harri-
son streets, Baltimore, engaged in drunken
carouse, during which one Berry Amos was
fatally stabbed by Samuel w. Mcdonald, and
died in very short time. Both parties are
well known in the city, the murdered man
rs gamester, and the murderer as the son of
the late VIM. Mcdonald, the owner of the
celebrated fast trotting horse Flora Temple,
and of a magnificent estate on the York
turnpike, near Baltimore.
This estate was inherited by the sob, who
sold it few years ago for very large sum
amounting to q fortune in itself. Notwith-
standing the opportunities Mcdonald had of
leading useful life he threw them all aside
"hu SHOsS .iic compromising vi Vic vicious
and depraved. With such surroundings it is
not strange that his career has finally been
stopped in felon's cell.
Mcdonald when arrested treated the whole
affair in the coolest manner possible, mani
testing no concern rs to the possible conse-
quences. Tho coroner's gary brought in a
verdict that Amos came to his death from
some sharp instrument in the hands of Sam
ucl w. Mcdonald McDonald's ride to Jail
WAS more like triumphal march than any
thing else but upon his arrival there orders
were issued to treat him as other prisoners
are treated. The story of McDonald's career
is a counterpart of 1Iogarth's Rake's Pro.
gress, to which il bears Il startling resem-
blance.
The grand jury on Wednesday made pre-.
sentiments against Samuel w. Mcdonald
charged with the wiliul murder of Berry
Amos; and also Henry Golibart and VIM
Clark, charged with being accessories thereto

A Beautiful Extract.

It was night. Jerusalem slept as quiz
etly amid her bills as child upon the
breast Of its mother. The noiscless sem
tinel stood like statue at his post, and
the philosophers lamp burned dimly in
the recesses Of bis chamber. But moral
darkness involved the nations in its en-
lightened shadows. Reason shed faint
glimmering over the minds of men like
the cold and insufficient shining of u dis
tant star. The Immortality of mans
spiritual nature was unknown, his rela-
ton to heaven undiscovered and his flu
turc destiny obscured in a cloud of mys-
terry 1t was at this period that two
forms of ethereal mould lowered about
the land of Gods chosen people. They
seemed like sister angels, sent to earth
on some embassy of love. The one of
majestic stature and well-formed limb,
which her snowy drapery hardly conceal
ed in her erect bearing and steady eye
exhibited in the highest degree of strength
and confidence. Her right arm was ex-
tended in an impressive gesture upward
where night appeared to have placed her
darkest pavilion /; while on her left re-
clined her delicate companion, in form
and countenance the contrast of the other,
was dropping like flower moistened by
refreshing dews, and her bright but
troubled eyes scanned with ardent but
troubled glances Suddenly light like
the sun flashed out from the heavens, and
Faith and Hope hailed with exulting
songs the ascending star of Bethlehem.
Years rolled away, and the stranger was
seen in Jerusalem. He was meek I'M
assuming man, whose happiness seemed
to consist in acts of benevolence to the
human race. There were deep traces of
sorrow on his countenance, though no
one knew why he grieved, for he believ-
cd in the practice of every virtue, and
was loved by all the good and wise. By
and-by it was rumorcd that the stranger
worked miracles, that the blind saw that
the dumb spake, the dead arose, the sun
moderated its chatting tide, the very thun-
ders articulated. He is the Son of God
Envy assailed him to death Slowly,
and thickly guarded he assembled the hill
of Calvary. A heavy cross bent him to
the earth. But Faith leaned on His arm,
and Hope dipped her pinions in His
blood mounted to the skies.

"BETTER TAKE A SHEEP Too. "A
valued friend and able farmer, about the
time the temperance reform was begin
ming to exert heathful influence, said
to his newly-hired man:
jonathan, I did not think to mention
to you when / hired you that / shall try
and have my work done this year with
out rum. How much must give you
to do without"
"Oh," said Jonathan, II don't care
much about it; you may give me what
you please"
"Well," said the farmer, 81 will give
you sheep in the fall if you do without
rum"
agreed"
Father, will you give me sheep too,
if | do without rum ?" then asked the
elder SON.
Eyes, you shall have sheep if you
do without"
The youngest son then said:
"Fathcr, will you give me sheep If
/ will do without p
Eyes, Chandler, you shall have
sheep also"
Presently Chandler speaks again:
Father, hadn't you better take a
sheep. too?"
The farmer shook his head; he hardly
thought that he could give up the "crit-
ter" yet, but the appeal came from
source not easily disregarded and the
result was, the demon rum was thence
forth banished from the premises, TO the
great joy and ultimate happiness of all
concerned.
