''HAVE YOU SEEN TOM COLLINS?"

If ever there was a fend in hlman shape,
it is Tom Collins.
SO say Smith, Jones, Brown end Robinson.
and everybody else who has been slandered
by this arch lbeler. Who has mot heard of
his atrOcious lies? Who has escaped the
venom of his forked tongueg Who has not
felt the sting of this viper!
Nevertheless, none Of his countless vic
Tins have been able as yet to catch glimpse
of this invisikly ubiquitous demon, although
all have gone for him. with a vengeance.
Warrants have been issued for his arrest,
but in vain. He eludes b efforts of our
most astute detectives. He rOams secure
from the clutches OF ohr most vigilant Off
GERS. The Police Department has many
sins Of omission and commission to account
for, but the outrage of allowing this mon
ster to do bellish work in broad daylight,
.unmolested, is the very Last bundle Of straw.
When will the authorities awaken to a
knowledge of the fact that the community,
patient and long sntfe1ing, are being goaded
to a frenzy which cannot much longer be
held in check?
Recently newspaper reporter was in
formed that Collins could be fOnnd in a
place of popular bibulous resort presided
over by the genial Andy Paxle. On Enquiry
there he was told that "Mr. Collins had
stepped over to Leon Camors'." Bnt the
barkeeper had let him 20 after "Mr. Col
Inns" had made the remark that he was
going to run up to the Phoenix The Phoenix
was visited, but Mr.. Collins had just left for
Johnny Hawkins's. But when the reporter
got there, as usual, the bird had flown.
Perhaps it was Just as well, for had it been
otherwise a murder would have been COM
mitted, sure. The reporter knew perfectly
well that Collins had been maligning some
one. But at the same time he was anxious
to find out who was his latest victim, and
Just what be had said.
Our old and esteemed friend ID. was also
the subject of his onslaught. A few of the
charges made by this unadulterated rascal
may be summed up as follows: He said d.
father was ghoul that his mother was a
receiver of stolen goods that his brother
was all escaped convict; that his uncle was
a pickpocket and his grandfather was
lecoy duck F.; but, worst of all, he charged d.
himself with being the author of Betsy

'eady for Tom Collins would make forty

A reward of $1,000 has been offered for the
,ody of Collins, dead or alive, and photo
graph of him is wanted to complete the |
sogues' Gallery.

RARE, RICH AND RACY.

The subjoined somewhat quaint and
curious, but excessively touching and
pathetic obituary We rescue from the I'M
merited Oblivion TO which it was consigned
in the columns Of the CarroHton Sentinel.
During our brief sojourn on this "sophis-
teal earth" we have never met an obituary
SO peculiarly full Of "rancity" and ''hercule.'
We may mention that the editors of the
Sentinel are both colored men, though We
presume the literary gem we Gull from their
columns is contribution from some aspiring
poetaster.
In MemOrium.
Paul Rousseau. of Company Canal Club, offered the
following eulogy in respect to the memory of the
worthy Sam Perkins.
We have suffered dear and cher loss in our home

his works still remains with us. embalmed in the
fectionate memory of a tender wife, whose wailment
and mourning consumes her. until the magnani-
nous hand. that giveth and taketh, calls her
to him, may his examples that paths only
righteous and celestial creeds be remembered and
graf full hearts greve for the departed To those Of

would bid us cease to mourn. We cannot but do hon.

soon be- happy forever.

Among the Legislative proceedings on
our first page, we note that Mr.. Hawkins
Of this county, has asked leave to intro
duce bill to repeal part of the article
Of the Code relating to matrimony, and re
enact the same with amendments. 1t is
surmised that Mr.. HIS purpose is to carry
out the resolution of the Republican Con
vention of this county relating to ''cheaI
matrimony."
With view Of saving the great loss o.
revenue to the State, incident to such &C
ton, we would suggest to our two dele
gates in the House a further amendment
levying a tax upon old bachelors and un
patriotic married men, who irreverently
fail to obey the mandate of the State which
says: "Crescite ct mutiplicamini." Sucf
an action on their part would be singu
larly appropriate and unselfish.

Public schools.

Mr. WELLS Let me crave your indulgence
TO say few words in reference to the public
schools of our county.
With the eolored schools and their manage
ment we have little to say, and, indeed, care
less. The inutiity and mad folly of the whole
scheme is self-evident to every intelligent man
no, blinded by the modern rampage of utopian
ideas, or taken captive by the vile host who
PROSTATE themselves before the almighty "Ebo-
shins' Of the day.
The inducement to all such laws and regula-
tons had its origin in an inordinate thirst for
Office, actuatcd by which, it seems, some will
surrender everything that highminded, hon.
orabe gentleman should hold sacred. 1t is
not, therefore, to the education (God save the
mark , of Cuffy that we wish to address our
selves present, for that ignis atuus is so con-
temptible as to be incapable of mismanagsment
But of the management of our public schools we
have something to ''promulgate."
In the first place, We venture to say that, al
though there are many defects in the law, it i:
as we'll administered here, in Charles county
as in any part of the State. We have as good
a corps of teachers, as efficient a Board of Di
rectors and, what is more important, as com.
petent and reliable a Superintendent as any
county can boast of. Under Mr.. Lloyd's man
agement the law is made success, and We
firmly believe that if the trustee branch of the
system were Topped off, and the sole manage
ment given up to Mr.. Lloyd, its success would
be guaranteed to a much greater degree.
We think, and not without reasons satisfac-
tory to ourselves, that the interference of trus-
tees in the business of the public schools is a
pernicious feature that should be abolished
Mr.. Lloyd spent twenty years, the best part Of
his life, in the arduous employment of educat'
ing the youth of our county. He has for seve-
raj years since been the Secretary of the Board
of Education and superintendent of the Schools,
thus acquiring the experience and education
necessary to qualify him for the position he now
holds; and we think continuation of the trust
reposed in him is due to his probity as gen.
tleman, and his qualifications as a scholar -
We know not whether he will be re-appointed,
but we seriously hope, for the sake of the peo-
ple he may be, for we believe there is no man
in the county better qualified for the position.
We know there are others DESTROYS of Serving
the people, in the same position but would a
change better serve the interests Of the people?
That is the only question we are interested in.
We think not. Mr.. Lloyd stands high with
both teachers and parents in the county, as also
with the State Board. That Board received
from our county alone full report at its last
meeting. This fact speaks volumes for Mr..
Lloyd's efficiency and INSCRIPTIONS care in the
discharge of his laborious duties.
Will the people and the Board here appreci-
ate his useful labors? Nous Verrons.
