RIVAL OF THE GREAT OK GENERAL
GRANT.-The msmmoth steer, "General
Grant" owned by David Branson, of this
county, has, it would seem, formidable
rival in an animal owned ~ Mr.. Seitx.
Following are the dimensions Of the Seitz
steer Height, 6 feet 3 inches; belly, 10
feet 8 inches; girth, 10 feet inches;
withers TO butt, feet 8 inches; horns to
butt, 8 fee, inches; arouud the belly, II
feet 0 inches. The steer will be eight
years old next October. II is not clumsy
In appearance. BY calculations made Of
measurement, II weighs about 4 500 pounds
and looks as though it could take on 2 600
pounds Of fat yet, without any ineonyeni-
ence. Mr.. Seitz iIas il insured, and in.
tends feeding and keeping it for exhibition

Has IT CONE TO TINS ?-We read in
a straight-ont Republican paper g Stran-
gers visiting Washington are amazed to
see the use to which the galleries in the
Capitol are put by lazy, yermin-coyered
negroes. These wretehed beings make a
lounging place Of the Senate Chamber and
the House Of Representatives, and come
in out Of the streets to sleep in galleries.
1t is all very well to maintain the rule
that the people shall be able to hear their
representatives debate, but it is a little too
much to have the Capitol turned into a
free clearinghouse for paupers There
ought at least to be rule forbidding per
sons who are either drunk or repulsively
dirty to enter the galleries. II this were
done, decent people could frequent the
galleries, without the danger of having to
sit next to some filthy drunkardp

BALTIMORE COUNTY SCHOOLS 1t i,
alleged that the amount Of taxes levied fol
school purposes in Baltimore county ha,
not been paid in full to the School Com
missiouers for several years past, thereby
ereatinga deficiency Of fifty-three thousand
dollars and upwards, and that the School
Commissioners for this reason, have been
obliged to pass resolutions to pay the
teachers only one halfof their usual salary
for the summer term, or else close the
schools. This state Of things has created
much discussion and dissatisfaction, and
resolutions of eensure have been adopted
by the Farmers Club, by the Farmers
Union, and also by certain meetings Of
citizens.
These complaints caused the School
Board to send communication to the
Grand Jury, on the 9th inst. respectfully
bat earnestly requesting them to make a
thorough examination Of the manner 10
which said fund has been discussed, par.
ticularly directing their attention to an
investigation as to whether or not it has
been honestly expended

John Hunter, eolorcd, appeared before
the Police Court at Washington, Friday,
and asked for warrant for the arrest Of
Carter A. Stewart, wcll-known colored
barber, for violation Of the Civil Rights
law. The warrant was refused, on the
ground that the act did not include barber
shops. Subsequently, District Attorney
Fishernade outan information, but inform.
ed Hunter that he did not think his case
would stand. Hunter, however, applied
for warrant on the document, but was
again refused Il appears that Stewart
refused to have Hunters hair cut In bis
shop, on the ground that II would injure
his business.

WHr2-IowA has two thousand
grangcs Of Patrons. OF these eleven
hundred are In arrears for dues to the

probable solution 10 that the farmert
who earn and pay the money have
stopped tho supplies Of tho sidewalk
farmers who want to spend tho money.
They are beginning to learn thae the
National Sponge IL an expensive and
useless appcudsge: That independent
county graDges are all that is necessary
for their purpose. And they are right
Let the Patrons think and rely upon
themselves, and cease paying money
to higher granges and they will soon get
rid of the cxcrcssence, and End them

have been paying 10 unnecessary. II
