by the election Of Mr.. Hines, Of Kent,
as Speaker who Is, according to the an-
thority Of Eastern Shore gcntsemen, =
very clever man personally, and ..smart,"
but has I am told circumnavisated the
whole political world and rested his
weary bones for short time, in every
domain, but is at present, q democrat
of the most orthodox school. He. was
selected by the ''littie iokers" or Ring
to take charge Of the oyster police
steamer, and 10 the admiral of the
Maryland Navy. Mr.. William Pinkney
WHITE, the Governor of the State, was
elected to the Senate Of the United
States, whilst in the guhernatorial
chair, aad took the seat 80 ably filed
by the Hon. VIM. 7. Hamilton. Now,
I do not for moment charge that
these various gentlemen whose names
have mentioned, obtained their places
BY bargain and corruption, for do not
know it to be . fact, but / do know that
our Radical opponents and others think
and say so, and the party is made to
suffer BY such acts. Certain it is, that
Governor who aspires to another po-
sition, has it in his power to democrat
ize members of the legislature, if they
are not composed of sterner stuff than
generally enters into the composition
of ordinary men. Hence it is, that the
people, the toiling thousands, who have
to bear the brunt of all the adversely
that befalls State or community,
should be ever on the alert to see that
none but men of firmness and unblem-
ished character are selected to repre-
sent them.
1 am told by those who ought to be
well posted, that the chances of Mr..
John Lee Carroll to become the next
Governor are decidedly on the wane,
although the candidate of the hitherto
omnipotent Ring, and that the pros
poets of Mr.. VIM. T. Hamilton are
looming up, he having developed IN
expected strength all over the State
There is no denying the fact that Mr..
Hamilton is most decidedly favorite
with the people, and his speeches in the
Senate during the last session, against
the entertainments of Grant and his in
famous party, have created for him
hosts of warm and admiring friends.
He spent few days in the city short
time since, and received perfect ova-
ton from his many admirers here. 1
learn he is expected here some time
next week, and no doubt vast crowds
will throng his rooms whilst here.
Before closing this already lengthy
letter, must not omit to correct what
seems to be n very strange impression
created on the minds Of some of your
people by my last letter, to wit, that in
my attack upon the last legislature, my
remarks were intended for the delegates
that represented your county at the last
session, in particular. Certainly no
thought or intent was remoter from nv
mind, and am at a loss to conceive
how such an impression could have
gotten abroad, unless its conception
took its origin in the fact, that the let
ter in question was published in the st.
Mary's BEACON.
In my next, will try and give some
news items that may interest some of
your fair readers and others who do
net en- JOY the exciting sports of the po-
li:ical arena.
Truly yours,
Rus IN URBE.

ECONOMY IN THE USE OF TRA-The

verhampton, England, according to the
Pail Mall Gazette, has discovered n
method of making more than the usual
quantity of tea from any given quanti-
ty of the leaf II has been satisfacto-
rily investigated by number of peTa
sons. The whole system consists in
steaming the leaf before sleeping. BY
this process fourteen pin.s of good quail
ity may be brewed from one ounce Of
the tea. The method of steaming is
not described, but any smart housewife
can devise one for herself, and if the re-
suit is a good one it will be a paying
experiment.

DARwINrsN.-There is one objection
to Darwinism. says late writer, to
which little, if any attention has been
given. For example, the nearest crea-
lures to man in form arc not the near
est in intellect. The elephant, dog and
horse, which have no affinity to man,
have a closer intellectual affinity than
those pets of Darwinism, the gorilla and
chimpanzee. Again, man is omniver-
ors-the stronger races of men, from
the Greeks before Troy to the English
of to-day, are primarily carniverous.-
But no monkeys are carniverous. If a
man is to be developed from lower
creature, be is nearer to the monkey in
form, but to his faithful friend the dog
in mind.

FooD FOR YOU'VE CHrcKENs.-They
want no food for many hours after they
are Matched, as they are then digesting
the yolk of the egg, which constitutes
their first food, and acquiring strength
to run about. When they begin to
peck, they should be fed with soft food
and very small grain. PROFESSIONALLY,
the best soft food is an egg beaten up
with a tablespoonful ofmilk, and heated
in the oven by the side of a fire until it
sets into a soft custard. Chickens fed or
partially fed on this make wonderful
progress. If they are to make large
fowls, they must be fed soon after day
light; if, as is too often the case, they
are left hungry for three hours in the
morning, they are always stuntcd in
their growth. They must be fed the
first thing. and, while they are young,
every two or three hours during the
day.

A RExAxxAHrR CAsx.-A remarka-
bic death scene occurred few DAYS ago
in Brooklyn. N. Y. Prof. +. w. WAL
ker had for two years been afflicted with
muscular contraction of the face and
eyes. His physicians prescribed ex-
tract Of kemlcck-a subtle, deadly poi
son-cautioning him in regard to the
quantity to be used and the symptoms
that would be developed. Having Ia
ken the dose he requested his wife 10
sit by his bedside and note the symp-
toms. The first dose not giving him re.
lief, he twice repeated it, his wife all
the time recording the symptoms as be
described them, until noticing an unus-
ual pallor on his comtenance she start
ed for glass of water. When she re-
turned he was breathing heavily, and
before . physician arrived the man was
dead. The case affords a curious ex.
ample Of devotion to science, and the
record taken from the lips of the dying
man viii furnish an interesting chapter
on the effects of poison.
S A learned professor predicts that
this sort of thing will bye-and-bye take
the place Of some Of the present instruc-
tons given in schools and lectures -
First class in beefsteak, stand up.
Miss Morris, please describe the pro-
cess of cooking beefsteak one inch and
half thick, measured by Whitworth's
gauge" "Put it on a gridiron and broil
it thoroughly, without scorching. and
serve up with salt and pepper" wrong;
you may step down and out. The pro-
cess of cooking a beefsteak of the above
dimensions is to place it on a gridiron
over hot fire until the outside is pro-
perly Drowned, but not scorched; you
are then TO put it on plate in a hot
oven, where you are to leave it from
three to five minutes; at the end Of that
time it will be found cooked through,
and of delicate, roseatc, pink hue,
neither dried nor burned in any part
thereof. If you desire to salt or pep
per it before serving, you will receive
no diploma from this institution"

"Vot You Lives On, ANYWAYS

A citizen of Toledo, in the ordinary
current of business, became possessor of
the note of a German saloon-keeper.
The note becoming due, he took it to
the party and presented it for payment.
The man was not prepared to hquidate
his obligation, and asked for an exten-
sion of time. This being granted, and
the conditions settled properly, he was
turning to leave when the German
said 4:
"Shoost vait you leedle whiles, unit
1 gifts you Elm glass goot peers.
"No, thank you, 1 don't drink
beer" was the reply.
" Veil den, / gifts you veeskees thot is
peter az so mooch.
"No, thank you, / don't drink whis-
KY"
"Sho den, l knew how 1 fix you

Again the quiet "No, thank you, 1
don't drink wine."
"Vot you don thinks holdings; veil,
gifts you Elm good shegar."
Once more, "No, thank you, I don't
smoke.
"Mein Gott," exclaimed the Dutch
man, throwing up both hands, "no
peers, no veeskees, no vines, no dobac-
co, no noddings-vot you live on, any
ways-botatoes, eh Y"-TOLedo Blade.

can only be angels, i. C., ministering
servants hereafter. Those truly, 1. e.,
Mormonically, married shall inherit
thrones and be rulers of celestial king
doms. Polygamy enlarges these king
doms, and so gives man higher posi-
ton in Heaven. Polygamy, moreover,
makes provision for the souls of the de-
parted, who are as yet imprisoned in
Paradise. The men and women of to-
day can become baptized and married
for the dead, and so secure their release
from Paradise, and their establishment
as gods, or rulers of celestial kingdoms.

A Twisted Cow.

Mr.. Hardy, of Portlandville, who was
in the Quartermaster's department at
Sioux City in 1862, tells story of won
derful endurance of a COW belonging to
Mr.. Hagy. The COW bad been missing
for eight days when found at the bottom
of well forty feet deep. When dis
covered she was standing on her feet,
with head bent around to her rump, and
evidently had been in that position for
eight days, without food or water. The
funny part of the story is that when
drawn out she continued for several days
TO walk in circle and could not be made
to walk in straight line, and il was only
by letting her move off in a constantly
enlarging circle, until it took in the farm
yard of the owner, that she could be
driven to her home from the place where
she became 80 set in her way.--Sto'tr

A Strange Case.

A few years ago there was a pupil at
the Institution for the Education of the
Blind, who was totally, and it was sup
posed, irrecoverably blind. She had
been blind from infancy, we believe.
Her mind was active-quick to grasp
and annalyze such subjects as were pre-
sented in her various studies all her
faculties were keen, with the exception
of the one great affection sightless eyes.
She left the institution in due time,
her mind well developed by the course
of instruction received within it's walls,
and returned to her home, somewhere
in this State, but to us unknown-her
parents being well-to-do and respectable
people. But now comes the strangest
part OF this account
On Thursday this young lady, for she
is now about twenty years of age, re-
turned to the city-not as blind girl,
but to enter, as pupil, the State Insti-
tuition for Deaf and Dumb. She has lost
her sense of hearing and also of speech,
but has gained partially the sense OF see
ing This wonderful transposition has
not been the growth of years, but nature
has effected it within a comparatively
brief period. Here is certainly strange
case, and challenges the investigation of
medical and scientific men. DIR. Gillett,
Superintendent of the Institution for
Deaf and Dumb, is watching the case with
great interest, but gives no expression of
opinion, as it was so recently brought
under his notice. We hope to publish
his diagnosis of the case, or at least his
opinions concerning it, in due time.
The sense of sight, we all know, acts
strangely in individual cases. There
lives in this city a person who can see
well enough in daylight, but as evening
approaches her sight grows rapidly dim,
until by night it is lost entirely. 1t is
said that there is boy living in Quincy
who cannot see at all in the daytime, is
blind in fact, but as daylight fades into
night, his vision becomes perfect, and
he can see plainly in the dark where
other persons with good eyes cannot see

Frightful Plague in Fill.

Further information from Fiji conveys
still darker accounts of the plague which
has recently passed over the new colony.
A resident of long standing, writing to
Victorian contemporary, says: The
death rate is notsyet made up, but the
probability is that 10000 Fijians died
during the four months plague. The
native population of FIJI is now about
one-third only of what it was when L
landed here twenty-five years ago." The
accounts given of the magnitude OF the
disaster are less narrowing than those Of
the sufferings of the victims. Very
few died of the measles, the majority
dying of subsequent disease in the form
of dysentery, congestion of the lungs,
etc. Want of nourishment or starvation
carried off thousands" We are told
that call work was suspended for two
months. You could pass through whole
towns without meeting any one in the
streets, which were soon completely COW
cred with grass. Entering q house you
would find men, women and children, all
lying down indiscriminately, some just
attacked, some still in agony, and others
dying. Some who were strong enough
attempted suicide, and not always unsuc-
cessfully." We are further told that
Gas the scourge became more permanent
four or five were buried together Ill one
grave, and generally without religious
service. In some cases the dead were
buried under the earthen floors of the
houses, in others just outside the house.
The burials were hurried and the prob
ability is that some were buried alive.
In many instances the husband, wife and
children, all died. In one village all the
women died, and in another all the men,"
1t is interesting to read of the different
mental effects produced by the torture of
disease. 1t is not surprising to find that
some made fruitless appeals to their
ancient god. Some inland tribes, who
had only recently embraced Christianity,
considered that the disease was conveyed
by their religious teachers, and they dis
missed them and then abandoned their
new religion. Among these some were
for killing the teachers wife and child,
whose husband and father had died of
the plague, to stop infection. But
while some in their distress fell back on
their former superstitions, the greater
number are said to have borne their Gala
nifty with fortitude, and to have suffered
and died under the influence of Christi
nity.-Sid'aey (AuStratia) Herald.

Performing Dogs.

Dogs at various times have held
not an unimportant place III the business
of the drama. Fictitious bloodhounds
were a prominent feature of "Three-
Fingered Jack, and in the Forest of
Bondy," great play in its day, one of
the most important characters was the
dog whodetected and arrested Macaire, in
his gorgeous uniform of green and gold.
Dogs have occupied a more important
place even than babies, their stage rank
being about equal to the penny waves of
rural dramatic notoriety, the best kind
of thunder and real water. 1t is seldom,
however, that the entire business of
play has depended upon dog, and yet
the first programme of a new drama was
recently postponed at the Mirror Theater
IN London owing to an accident which
disabled one of the principal actors AS
Rip would say, /" He vos dog" The
new play is entitled "The Dogs of st.
Bernard, and the performer in ques-
ton, whose part it probably was to cross
the stage with barrel attached to his
neck, sniff amid the downy snow, and
rescue one of the heroes, was the most
important feature of the play. There
was performer once whose leading roles
were the cock in Hamlet" and the
hind legs Of the COW in "Tom Thumb"
That the canine race, albeit there are
slanders to the effect that their close at
tention to duty might have been infu-
enced by the distant prospect of cold
bones, have attained to higher position
upon the boards than their master, man,
must prove a source of unutterable Joy
and satisfaction to Brother Bergh.-
