messed with him during the Creek war.
During the campaign the soldiers ,!ssr, were

rain came on, mingled with sleet, which
lasted for several days. Gen. jackson
got severe cold, but did not complain,
as he tried to sleep in muddy bottom
among the half-frozen soldiers. Capt.
Allen and his brother John cut down a
stout hickory tree, peeled off the bark
and made covering for the general, ,

seeing the tent, kicked it over. As

RHYMES of the woman's Crusade.

The woman's movement has brought
out the poets. There is one specimen
which concludes
When this whisky war is over,
Wen all get drunk again.
The Brooklyn Argus mans attempt is

Ohio's ransom speeds apace-
Is daily growing surer.
Since woman's dulcet voice essayed

sThy nose bIeached TO its native hue
Thy whisky vessels broken
Rev. Thomas K Beecher thinks that
religion suffers about SIS much as the
lid1or business by the sidewalk prayer
meetings. "The specially bad feat
ure," says Mr.. Beecher, " is the prosti-
tuition of prayer; making of it side
walk pastime." And then he asks how
the following would do as an additional
stanza to Montgomery hymn
PRAYER is the Buckeye womans dodge
To stop the rum-shop-door,
They hear her prayer and run away,
And never drink no more.

The city authorities seem scarcely equal to

not in sufficient numbers to preserve order.
The cause of the Mussulman's hostility to the
Parsees is that one of the latter wrote a book

The New Gable steamer

The screw steamer Faraday, which is
designed entirely for cable work, al
though only of four or five thousand
tons, has as much cable room as the
Great Eastern. There are several points
of novelty in the construction of this
vessel. She is made perfectly symme-
trical fore and aft, with a rudder at each
end, so as to move in either direction
with equal case aud accuracy. This is
of the utmost Importance for cable
work, as it enables the cable to be
picked up with the least possible expen-
diture of trouble and time the whole
of the paying-out machinery becoming
in a few moments paying-in machinery
She has no keel at the bottom, but two
bilge- keels, or keels running along the
sidezDso that the tross-section is very
nearly rectangular. This arrangement
diminishes the erollirg very considerable,
and allows more room for tanks. She
is driven by twin screws, whose axes
converge the object of this is to OBJ
tain greater turning power when the
scra&s are driven opposite ways, which
is possible. as their engines are indie
pendent. The axes of the screws would
pass the centre of gravity of the ship
at distance of twenty-seven feet. In
this way the head of the ship can be
kept to the wind whenshe has no way on.

THE woman's whisky war has actually
diminished the sale of liquors in Ohio
and Indiana to such an extent that the
revenue in these states for February
was less by $500, 900 than it was the
previous month. This is proof that
the efforts of the women have accom-
plished something more than the exas-
peration of the rumsellers. There is a
general desire on the part of consum-
ers of cigars that similar crusade
should be begun against tobacco. 1t
could hardly fail to arrest to some ex-
tent the consumption of the weed, and
hence to reduce the present high price
Of cigars, to the delight of confirmed
and hardened smokers.

GRAND JURY Room,

GRAND JURY Room,
June 10th, 1874.
NNHE Grand Jury respectfully report to the
i Judges of the Circuit Court for Baltimore
county, that they in their official capacity have
visited the County Jail, and find every thing
in a neat and cleanly condition, and the pris-
oners as comfortable as could be expected un-
der the circumstances.
We further report that the Sheriff, his Dep
uty and the Warden of the Jail deserve great
credit for the manner in which they discharge
their duties.
We respectfully call the the attention of the
Court to the insecure condition OF several of
the cells, and recommend such change as will
in their judgment add to the safe keeping of
the prisoners confined therein.
We desire to tender our thanks to the officers
of the Court, and especially to Mr.. Hunter,
Deputy States Attorney, for advice and assist.
ance rendered during our session.
We also visited the County Almshouse
near Texas, and found every part OF the build.
ing in condition remarkable for cleanliness
and good order, and that TOO much cannot b.
said Of the efficiency of the present keeper ia
his management of this Institution.
We found among the inmates some very
strong and powerful insane men, suggesting
us the necessity of some assistance being pre-
vided for the keeper.
All of which is respectfully submitted, vita
a request that we be discharged.

VALUE OF PoULrRY IN THE UNITED STATEs.-
Poultry raising is one of the great industries of
the nation, quite as much as sheep, dairy or cat
tie husbandry. Profit is the object in view of
each, and in poultry it will arise from three
sources-eggs, feathers and stock fattened for
market. The demand for barn-door fowls is un-
ceasing; their saes therefore, may be safely cal
culated upon. | do not find either in the United
States, or any State census except in that OF the
State of New York, an enumeration in regard to
poultry, an omission which | hope will be cor
rected in the next national census. The census
of this State gives date whereby we may approx
innate the magnitude of the poultry industry for
the nation. In the State census the value of
poultry sold for 1864 was ST., 228, ,O44, and value
of eggs Tor 1864, ST., 3O3 O1O; total value of
poultry sold ST. 53l ,O54. This amount, it will
be noted, is only for single State. The number
Of farms by the United States was 2l0, ,233,
which would allow US the yearly value of poultry
for each farm $ll.75. The number of farms in
the United States is put down at 1885, 085.-
Taking the data furnished by the New York cen.
sus, and the poultry industry Of the nation sx-
ceeds in annual value over $3l, 900, 900. If to
this be added the sum of S. for the value of fam.
lily consumption, the annual value of the poultry
interest is over $42, 900, 000.- Correspondence.

The New Issue OF Fractional CURRENCY
The new issue of twenty cent currency has
made its appearance in general circulation
All the fractional currency, ten, twenty-five,
be constantly made. 1t is serious fault with
the new issue that there is so much similitude.
There seems to have been great poverty of de-
sign in the department. The notes should have
been so different in appearance that their de-
nomination could be ascertained at glance by
those who are unable to read. In this respect
the issue is a failure, otherwise the engraving
and printing is excellent, and the paper is the
best for the PURPOSE that could be made.
