Tired of ReDublicanism,

The New York Tribune looks very doubt
fully forward to the next Presidential contest
In speaking of the present condition OF the
Republican party it says:
The party in power has no principles that
it has not betrayed; no policy upon which
its leaders are agreed no leaders whose au-
thority is recognized beyond circle of per-
sonal adherents; no cohesion except for the
retention of office and power no title what
ever to public confidence except that it flies
the flag of n party which once did good and
honest work and deserved to be trusted. 1t
is as ita fleet that had been equipped in the
interest Of philanthropy to sweep the slave
work had turned to plundering the innocent
and preying upon the commerce of the world
1t is the Captain Kidd of modern politics.
The people understand this. No man who
has talked with his neighbors upon current
politics any time in three or six months past
will deny that the men who voted this party
into power in 1872 are as a rule tired and sick
of it. Only among the holders of Office, their
satellites and dependents is the course of the
party or the policy of the administration
heartily approved or defended. Unfaithiul-
ness to great public trusts, prostitution of Of
flee and patronage to the ends of mean and
selfish ambition peculation and petty THEY
ing, pledges broken and promises disregard
ed, honesty and uprighlness at discount,
and meanncss and lreachery rewarded bride
ry and corruption protected dshonor vindica-
ted and vice thrust shamelessly forward-thcse
things and more have done their work. You
can go into no community where you will not
find tens and scores and hundreds of honest
republicans who confess they are ashamed of
the last years record of the party.

Letter from the West.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 18th,


Mr. EDITOR: Cleveland is beautiful CITY.
situated on Lake Erie and contains over 100, 600
inhabitants. Like Pittsburgh, it is a great iron
manufacturing district. The streets are very
wide, handsomely laid off, and paved with the
Nicholson pavement, which makes transit pleas
ant and easy. In the northern part of the city
are 10 be found some of the finest residences that
this continent can Afford laid off in from five to
ten acre lots, and costing from one to two hun
dred thousand dollars.
The oil refining business originally consisted
of 40 different companies, but they were bought
out by the Standard Oil Company, who repre-
sent capital of ten million dollars. They are
the only rciiners now in the city, and the largest
in the world. They refine four thousand barrels
of oil every day, which are produced from their
own wells in Pennsylvania. They manufacture
their own barrels, and their works here cover an
area OF nearly forty acres, besides six acres at
Hunters Point, New York city, which they use
as a shipping point. 1t takes all of the products
oftwo chemical works to supply them with acids
for refining Their sulphur they import direct
from Italy by the cargo. They really rule the
oil market OF the country.
The ladies have commenced their Temperance
crusade, and have met with some success.
The weather has been remarkably cold for
some days past said to have been really the
coolest experienced this winter. The wind com.
ing across the lake of ice from Canada makes it
feel rather chilly TO a Marylander.
Approaching your valuable time must close.
Very respectfully, GAO.

LEGISLATIVE LAYs.-We have received
from Hon. Ohio S. Lee copy ola poetical
effusion written by "the Bard of the House

1t is signed by the Ladies from all parts of the
State
The r CHI and the poor-the small and the great.
St. Mary's tirst-and she will give Bond,
That Cotton will pour all the rum In q pond
Kent stands on her Merritt, and strongly inclines,

The Speaker is with us-he dare not decline,
10 go with the Ladies-and give up the wine,
For Agnes and Ida and Laura and Bessie,
Would gather around and soon give him Jessie
They will say, Mr. Speaker, you had better resign;
NV oman's Rights are ucmanded-too long,
they've been blind.
Then we say Mr.. Speaker, you must do what is
Fair,
Or some beau fal Lady will preside in the Chair
Thompson and Kemp will speak for Queen Anne,
They think local option very good plan;
Worcester sends Merrill and William Z. Prutt

it;
Frederick county comes in with Doctor Lamar
And four more help TO push the old Temperance

John l.. Nicodemus and Mr.. Job Miller

tiller.
SO give up your glasses and hang up your spoons,
Doctor AMMAN will give all his corn to the hoons;

Who say they are tired of red. pepper tea;
Dawson and Williams speak for Aunt Caroline,

The trial of Charles Rose for committing
an outrage upon Miss Sarah E. James, at a
picnic last summer is in progress in the
Criminal Court of Baltimore. The case has
attracted considerable interest-Rose being
well connected, and the young lady being the
daughter of worthy parents.
Paul Scheppe has been taken TO Chic go,
on the requistion of the Governor of Illinois,
to answer to charge of forgery. He is
certainly an accomplished scamp.

Nix. EDITOR: | read with pleasure rs well as
regret, the original story in your issue of the
27th ult., under the above caption, by your ju
venile correspondent, Harold" With pleasure,
to find so much sprightliness in one SO young
with regret because, if his talents were turned
into another channel, he might become q useful
and distinguished man. We have lcgions of
writers of fiction where we have one who APP
plies himself to the solid and useful Blood
and-thundcr stories accomplish nothing. They
may be read with interest, but are forgotten in
an hour. 1t may be said, "But lIarold's talent
runs in that line, and therefore he should be en-.
couraged." That's mistake. A boy with his
mind has talent for any line, and | know speak
his sentiments when say that he would prefer
to direct his thoughts and studies to those sub
jects that promise most good to his readers as
well as himself. Romance and fiction, in the
general, are Il sort of nonsensical bombast that
prctcnds to develop what we are pleased to
tie m Imagination; but single sensible para
graph upon the subject of biography, history,
education, agriculture, mechanics, or any of the
sciences, Is worth more than pile of romance
as high as the Rocks of Deer Creek. This Is
written not to crticisc or discourage Harold"
but rather to compliment his sprightlincss, and
encourage him-not in fiction, but in solid fact
God has been bountifu to him In the way of

gifted, and employing his thoughts and pen in

says the New 1ork World, "If we NAV re-
gard the recent result in New Hampshire az
foretaste of the elections of the present
year, the Democratic party has no reason to
be dissatisfied with the prospect 1t may be
said that New Hampshire is State in which

BURNING VS.. BURIAL.-Sir Henry Thomp-
son, an English savant, short time ago
wrote paper in favor of burning the bodies
Of the dead, and thus utilizing the compo-
nent parts, by returning them to the atmos.
phere to be absorbed in other forms of life.
This unitarian view of the learned philoso-
pher of course met with storm of opposi.
ton from sensitive and sensible people.
His theory having been translated into Ger
man however, it was found to be well adapt
ed to the metaphysical air of Austria, and in
fluenced by it the council of Vienna, it is
said, has adopted a proposal to establish in
the cemetery the necessary apparatus for
burning the bodies, the use of which will be
optional and open to all.

THE APPROACH OF EAsTER.-Ncxt Sun
day is called Palm Sunday. 1t has been cele-
bratcd for centuries past, in the Christian
Church, in commomoration of the Saviours
triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, when
the assembled multitude greeted Him MS their
King, strewing palm branches before Him as
He rode along. The week then commencing
is called Passion Week. because it is paricu-
larly devoted to the commemoration of the
suffering and death of Christ. 1t is also call
ed Holy Week, from the extraordinary and
solemn exercises of devotion which the
Church prcscribcs in it. This week was OBJ
served by primitive Christians with great
strictness of fasting and humiliation.
Friday next will be Good Friday, and the
Sunday following Easter when the long fast
of forty days will be ended, amid rejoicings
by Christians the wide world over, that death
hath no more dominion over the Lord of Life.
