Can aDe Afford 1T?

Some time since we were favored with PAM
phlet, through the mail, from an unknown source,
setting forth the advantages and benefits to be
derived to community by the adoption OF the
town or township system. The arguments are
we'll presented and there are some excellent sug-
gestions contained in it. The object of the docu-
ment seems to be to demonstrate the feasibility of
its adoption in the State Of Maryland. 1t sug-
gests nevertheless, the difficulties to be encoun-
tered in the transition from our old usages and
customs to an entirely different mode of govern
ment. People in all ages have been averse to
changes. They don't like to change from any
thing to which they have been long accustomed.
Some strong reason or convincing proof must be
wrought by revolution or emergency that brings
it in spite of opposition. To ask the Maryland
people to adopt the township system of managing
their local politics is asking them to manifest in
terest enough in their own affairs to wrest them
from the hands of politicians who do the work
for them. The people need not give themselves
any concern about the control of their local
affairs under the present management. This
tell and trouble is all gone through with for
them now They do not feel like doing work and
assuming responsibility when there are others
who volunteer to do these things for them. If
the roads, schools, elections and other local mat
tiers were left to the general management of the
people in each township they would beput to the
necessity of holding town meeting once year
for the purpose of selecting officers to perform the
work Of serving the people for the year in the Ca
pacty of township officials. This work is all done
now by others. All local officers are appointed
by somebody at the State capital or at the county
seat For all business in the imposition and
collection of taxes, the expenditure of money, the
opening of a road the construction of Eve dol
-"nuse. the payment or EIcney for any af this
work, it is necessary To tue county seat and
consult some one about the Court House. This
has become a habit so cid that the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary" And it is
luxury that eur people are not willing to surren-
dor

A STRANGE SToRY-A HINDoosTANEE CHARLEY
Ross There is a youth ofabOut seventeen years
of age in Westminster, Md whs tells remark
able story of his adventures. He claims to be
Hndoo son of n native now in the British army
in India, and that two years ago he was drum
mer in the same regiment TO which his father is
attached. One day while he was idly fishing on
the banks of a river, sea captain kidnapped
him and carried him away. Taking his prisoner
to Cuba, the chid-sealer there attempted 10 sell
the boy as slave. Failing in this, for some rea-
son, he brought the lad to Philadelphia Here
the boy made his escape, going over the river In
10 New Jersey This was about eight mon tbs
ago He wandered about New Jersey until the
beginning of February last when Westminster
man GLANCED to meet him, and induced him to
go to that place, where he yet remains
He is a tall, dark colored youth, with straight
black hair, speaks a little English, and is called
"NObhy" He likes to be questioned in regard
to his adventures and answers AS steadily as
his imperfect knowledge of our language per-
mits. He is, of course, very DESTROYS G return
ing to his native land. His parents and himself,
he says, are Christians, converted by missiona-
ries. Efforts will be made to interest the British
consul at Baltimore in his welfare. 1t is to be
hoped that arrangements will soon be made to
secure his return to his home, as our climate is
severe in its effects upon him.

A VALUABLE INVENTION THE visitor at the
Patent Office at Washington may have observed
the numerous devices intended to hold railroad
tracks in position and lessen the number of ties
now in use. Thus far all such inventions have
failed to recommend themselves to railroad cor
poratlous Mr. John Stewart, of Eicott City,
has received patent for an invention, however,
which seems likely to be more fortunate, and has
probably achieved that which will meet the de-
sired end 1t is claimed for his invention that ii
will save one-half of the wear and tear now sus-
tanned by the rolling stock, keep the rails more
firmly in position, dispense with one-half the
number OF ties that are now required, and lessen
the working force along the line OF the road, be-
side atfordng a smoother and easier ride than it
hes hitherto been possible to attain. The lnven-
ton, which is specimen of ingenuity, is now in
the hands of leading railroad corporation,
which is investigating its merits with a view TO
its adoption. Sunday NeWs

A SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.-The Gibson, Ill -,
Courier says curious phenomenon is exciting
some Of the people in Martin township, Mclean
county. While some men were boring for water
TO supply we'll for Nickerson's school house
last week, they were startled by a sudden and
violent commotion beneath them and, hastily
getting their machinery on: of the way, they
were treated to a volcanic eruption on a small
scale.
Out of the hole made by the workmen there
issued stream OF sand, gravel, and pebbles, pro-
PEELED with such force that it rose to the height
of from so to 100 feet, as variousy estimated
The strong wind that was blowing carried the
cloud of sand, etc., considerable distance, and
in such quantities was it expelled from the earth
that the ground was covered thick with it for a
distance of fully 100 yards from the well. On
Saturday evening the gas escaping from the well
caught fire. The flames shot up to great height,
and ii was with the utmost difficulty that the
neghbors who had assembled succeeded in
saving the school house and extinguishing the
flames

Unusual Ceremonies.

On Tuesday of this week Archbishop McClos-
key, of New York, had conferred upon him at
st. Patricks Cathedral the rank of Cardinal in
the Catholic Church. The Pope dispatched three
messengers or representatives to America to bear
these honors and to confer the rank of Cardinal
upon Archbishop McCloskey. They were DR..
Ubaldi, Mgr. Roncetti and Count Marefoschi.-
They arrived from Europe in the early part Of
last week and proceeded to Baltimore and Wash
ington, where they visited the White House, the
Smithsonian Institute, and other places of public
Importance. On Tuesday the Cathedral was
packed to its utmost capacity while hundreds
were unable to obtain admittance. There were
a number of reserved seats in the front which
were occupied by the Justices of the city, the
United States District Attorney, Collector Arthur,
ex-COllector Murphy, and other distinguished
persons The ceremonies of comforting the rank
of Cardinal were commenced by the celebration
of mass. When this part of the ceremony closed
the "pax" or kiss of peace was handed around
from right to left and was passed from one to the
other throughout the vast assembly.
At the close of this ceremony Ab-Legate Ron.
cetti announced the message of the Pope in Latin
setting forth the reasons which induced him to
confer this rank upon Archbishop McCloskey and
then handed the Ponti6cal letter to the Arch
bishop of Baltimore authorizing him to confer the
beretta upon Cardinal McCloSkey. Archbishop
Bayley placed the cap upon his head and the cere-
mony was over The new Cardinal made an adj
dress in English returning his thanks to those
who had honored the great occasion with their
presence. In referring to the performances of the
occasion he said:
sIt gives honor also not only to the hierarchy
and Catholic people, but it was the intent and
purpose of the Holy Father to give honor to our
wnole country to give honor and show his deep
respect and esteem for our great and glorious Re-
public, of which the Catholic population form SC
essential part and who are so Loyalty devoted
to her institutions, and who with Gods blessing,
will strain their utmost efforts to strengthen and
save her, and make her glorious and prosperous
forever. On this day of thanksgiving we will
join in heart while we ask God to bless this coun'
try and also to make this the dawn of happier
day for the Holy Father, so long deferred, but
sure to come at last, and that he may live to see
the glory and salvation of his people"
