Hon. Stevenson Archer.

The Hon. Stevenson Archer, who now
represents this (2d) District, has been pro
posed for Clerk OF the next House of REPRE-.
sentatives. There il not citizen of Mary
land, and especially OF his Congressional
District, who would not huil his election
with great pleasure. He has represented the
people of Maryland duiing the eight years OF
his service with distinguished ability, and
with jealous pers's tncy rarely exhibited
in a member of Congress. The whole coun-
try needs such man MS Stevenson Archer
for Clerk. He is 90 runyersant with the
rules of the House, and II has given such
close attention to the public business, that
he is peculiarly fitted for the position His
peculiar fitness arises from the fact that he
is the only Democrat who has been on the
Committee of Accounts for four years. This
committee ADULTS accounts to the amount of
over 81 100000 expended by the Clerk of the
House each year. We are gralified to learn
that there is IL bright prospect for his cleo.
ton. AS it is pretty well understood that
the Speaker will come from the West, it is
agreed that in that event Mr. Archer will re.
ceive the support of a large majority of the
new House. The whole p.ople, as one mass,
would endorse Mr.. Archer, and he would be
"the right man in the right place. "-Io~Son-

School Exhibition,

An exhibition held at Public School No. {
third district, on Thursday, 18th inst, was wei
attended by the patrons of the school. The ex.
crcses included reading by the different classc.
without previous preparation,) map lessons,
blackboard arithmetic, and parsing, interspers.
ed and relieved by humorous destinations and
dialogues by the young gentlemen ofthe class,
and singing by the young ladies. The arithme.
tic in the class comprised common and de-
nominate fractions; in tho F class, insurance,
commission, interest and the other applications
of Percentage, and the different cases Of Mensu-
ration. The question was read out to the pu-
pill, after he had taken his place at the board.
One sentence, which was given, being punetua.
ted and parsed correctly was, "lIow DO you do,
sir?"
This is the sixth exhibition held at this school
house, but the first in which school work was
introduced, and it has reused the scholars to
greater industry, and increased the interest in
school work in the vicinity
This mode of conducting an exhibition was
suggested ut the Teachers Institute. We know
of nothing that will aid SO materially in securing
and encouraging good teachers as these Teach.
ers' Institutes The valuable and practical
instruction impaired, and the many useful sug-
gestions throughout, during Institute hours,
are but half the benefit. The social interchange
of plans, trials, victories, gives what teacher
needs as much as any other human being,

of whom were negroes:

The execution took place in an open field,
halfa mile from Easton, in public view. This
was the third execution, ali of colored men,
which has taken place in Talbot county

A ISLANDER -TEc reporter of the Baltimore
American, with an utter disregard for truth
or in the endeavor to make q sensational ar
ticle, wrote for his paper an account of the
execution here last Friday, drawn principal
ly from his own imagination, or else colored
by the view he took of it through his glass
es. He makes it appear that the affair, in
stead OF being one of solemn import, was
made gala occasion by our citizens. He
says that the procession conveying Griffin to
the gallows "moved very slowly, and as it
passed through the village the windows of
the houses were crowded with people"
In Justice to our citizens we unhesitalingly
pronounce this statement SANDER. The
utmost decorum and good behaviour were
observed, and the attendance, we are glad to
say, was very small. Only few of the citi-
zens of the town were present at the place of
execution, and they from necessity in the
capacity of deputies to the sheriff, &c. Very
few, also, came from the neighborhood
around. The entire arrangements for the
dreadful scene were made and carried out by
Sheriff Jarrett with view to ensure good
order and we venture TO assert that the exc
cution of Joshua Griffin was one of the most
quiet, orderly and decent that has ever taken
place in the State, and witnessed by the
smallest number Of persons.
He also as serts that after the execution the
streets were filled with drunken men exult-
ing over the revolving scene. The fact is,
that the only drunken men here that day
were three mountebanks from Baltimore,
who quarrelled and fought over division
Of their profits, but who were promptly ar
rested and punished.

HEREDITARY DEPRAvITY.-The theory
has been much discussed of late that brutal
and vicious parents transmit to their offspring
their own criminal instincts, and some forci-
BILE illustrations have been cited. The case
of the murderer Griffin, executed here last
Friday, is one in point. He was born in the
old jail at Bel Air, where his mother was i'm
prisoned for eighteen months, awaiting trial
on the charge oflarceny.
The woman, with ono Jacob Hoke, color
ed, was indicted for stealing n sheep from
Robert McGaw, Of Spesutia Island. Hoke,
it was charged, shot and killed the sheep,
the woman having been caught upon the spot,
carrying Hokes gun and coat. Tho cases
were removed TO Cecil county, where the par.
ties were both acquitted, the strong abolition
sentiment Of the time, il is alleged, having
influenced the jury in their favor. Hoke, it
will be recollected, was ono of the witnesses
for the defence at Griffins trial.
The brother of Joshua Griffin IS Mt this
time serving ont q sentence In The State
prison, for larceny.

WASHINGTON LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.
We published in our paper last week the
annual statement Of this safe, sound and re.
liable company, which exhibits its affairs as
in most healthy and prosperous condition.
It's assets are well invested, without doubt
full item to impair their safety, amounting to
$3.50 426.66, with surplus of $685., 1906 as
to policy holders. This company is now in
its sixteenth year, and from its commence
ment its policy has been to avoid all the
novel and untried modes of conducting bust
ness, TO which, owing TO the rivalry existing,
some companies have been tempted "The
Washington" has kept strictly to the legiti-
mate object of Life Insurance, which is to
provide q sure fund for the widows and Or
phans of those who have been 80 provident
and fortunate as TO hold policies in it. By
steadily pursuing this course, never contest
ing just claims, paying its dividends regu-
larly at the end of the first and each subse.
quent year, avoiding combinations and ANAL
carnations, relying upon its own inherent
strength, it has merited and obtained the
perfect confidence of the public. Many of
our own citizens of Hartford, aware of these
facts, have obtained policies in it from the
General Agent ofthc company for Maryland,
Mr.. d. Grant Emory, No. 321 st. Paul street,
Baltimore. !
