FOUNDING A TRAPPIsT MONASTERY IN MARYLAND.
The severe Order of Trappist Monks has sent
an agent to this country in the person of Brother
Francis de Sales, who has been commissioned to
purchase property in the State of Maryland,
where it is proposed to erect a monastery and
furnish it with grounds sufficiently extensive for
the pursuit Of agriculture, which is an important
industry among the monks of La Trappe. Two
hundred monks, taken from monasteries in Ire
land, France and Turkey, will occupy house
which Brother Francis de Sales will temporarily
rent, so that during the erection of the mcnaste-
ry and the laying out of the grounds the newly
arrived monks may make themselves familiar
with the customs of the country. They are ex-
pected to arrive about December LIST.
The rules which bind the Trappists are very
stringent. Constant silence is one of their vows
They are permitted to eat no other food than
vegetables and bread, water alone being allowed
for drink. They sleep in their habit or gown,
on low pallet, and their bedroom is small
square Enclosure, formed by curtains. The bell
ringer arouses them al two o'clock every morn
ing, and after the few minutes allowed for their
into line and move in solemn silence to their
hours when pFayar ana oh$F davolions are not
in progress. All the branches of this Brother
hood are self-supportng, and sufficient funds will
be at hand TO aid Brother Francis de Sales in his
new enterprise. He is very hopeful of the success
of his undertaking N. 7. Tribune.

@-On the first Monday in October the reg
istrars again open their books for the purpose
of placing upon the list the names of those who
are just of age, will be on the day of election,
the names of those who have recently moved
into the jurisdiction of the registrar, to furnish
certificates of registration to those who have
moved out of their Jurisdiction and desire to
have their names registered elsewhere, and to
place upon the list the names of those who
bring proper certificates of registration from
other registrars.
This fact should be borne in mind by every
one and the attention of those who are not
properly registered should be called to it
There are few days intervening between now
and then. If everybody would just take a
piece of paper and pencil and make memo
randum Of the names of the young men in their
locality who have just arrived of age and of
those who have recently come into the neigh
borhood and then remind them of their duty
when he accidently meets them, the whole
thing would be attended to without much diff
Guilty. If there is no opportunity of seeing the
particular parties, word to some one who
would see them would do the work. Don't fail
to take this much trouble.

Ess~ The virtuous, incorrupt and ncorrupti
bic Democracy have been demonstrating their
deathless fidelity to the undying example of
the illustrious Washington and to the liberties
of the American Republic by crying out against
"third term" for President Grant, when no.
body ever desired to have him for another
term. 1t is useless to question the unselfsh
patriotism that prompted this devotion to prin-
ciple, but it is little strange that this same
Democracy want Comptroller Woolford for a
fourth term and A. Leo Knott for "thrd
term" How is this?

l.s~ 1t cost the tax payers of the State of
Maryland 50 ,36O-according to the appropria.
lions of the last Legislature-to advertise the
defaulting tax-collectors. This is pretty good.
Pay man to collect taxes, which he fails to
pay into the Treasury, pay the printer to ad
vertise the fact that he has not paid them over,
and then pay again the taxes that they have
once paid to defauter. Is there any neces-
sity for reform?

A DEMOCRATIC CHILD.-At the Democratic
mass meeting held on Friday evening of last
week in Monument Square, in Baltimore city,
to ratify and send off the Democratic nomina-
tons for State officers, the Hon. Reverdy John
son presided, NTH more than eight hundred vice
presidents, many of whom are not Democrats
and many of whom were not present. MIR.
Johnson had written speech which was read
by James A. Mcclure, Esq. The chief point
in this speech was a labored effort to convince
people that they should not vote against John
Lee Carroll, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, because he aoas member Of the Roman
Catholic Church. We see no objection to Mr..
Johnson's statement as he puts it. But his way
of stating it is an evasion of the true state of
the case as those Democrats understand it who
refuse to be driven to do what they do not en-
dorse. This whole question and difficulty had
its origin, discussion and agitation in the DEM
ocratic ranks, though the Democratic leaders
are laboring hard to throw the responsibility
upon others. The question of Catholic or anti
Catholic was an issue at the primary elections.
They precipitated the question upon them
selves. The Catholics were victorious and if
they can't whip their anti-Catholc vote into
the endorsement of the candidate they have
nobody to blame for it but themselves. 1t is
discreditable for the father to disown his child.
This Catholic question is a child of the Democ-
racy. Let them take care of it.
g8~The Cambridge Chronicle has some Sc
we're criticisms upon the fact that the last Leg
islature of Maryland cost the tax payers about
$4,000 for t,oenty nine days-out of the ninety
allowed by the constitution-that it was not in
session. And it goes on to say that "when it
is taken into consideration how much import
ant and necessary legislation that was left un-
done that could have been transacted in twen-
ty-nine days, the infamy of the whole proceed
ing is more apparent"
We must say we do not agree with the Chron-
tcLe in this matter. We think the State could
we'll afford to have paid that Legislature $780,
900 to have taken another twenty-nine days
absence from the halls of legislation. We
think that every day during the session that
that august body of statesmen was not in ses-
sion was saving in credit and money to the
tax payers Of the State.

lN- Hon. F. G. Latrobe, the Swami candidate
for Mayor in Baltimore city, on Friday night OF
last week at the Monument Square meeting made
the following promise in his speech: "F elected
to the office Of Mayor l shall use my best judgment
in endeauorg to select as public servants those who,
By their high character for honor and capacity,
you'd, I6elieUe, faithfully discharge their respec-
tivs duties to the satisfaction of the community."-
This is card to win the respectable voters to his
support In 1873 Mr.. Latrobe was a candidate
for the nomination fer Mayor against the present
incumbent of that Office He made speech at
Hollins street hall, June 26th, 1873, in which he
condemned ''this mean economy that 0etoed every
little 6iU." In this same speech he used this lsn-
guage 1.-THE good old book says the laborsr is
worthy of hire, and the Offices should be gioea
to the s0orking members Of the party. The men
yards" We suppose he gets his public ser
wants. of high character for honor and capacity
from among those who do 'the dirty work Of
politics." How is this for 'reform in the party

me- The distinguished patriots who distrib-
uted centennial buncombe in Monument Square
on Friday night Of last week, exercised large
share of that forgetfulness they are so anxious
shall be INDUCED in by their Republican fell
low citizens. They remember the ancestry of
John Lee Carroll but they were wonderfully
absent minded concerning the sectarian APP
preparations Of the Legislature and City Coun-
Gil and the expenditures of the Baltimore city
Courts. They talked about New Orleans.
Why could they not say something about Bal

The Spare Bed.

When l go to the country to visit
my relatives, writes NJ. Quad, the
spare bed rises up before my imagin-
alton days before I start, and l shiv-
er as l remember how cold and
gravelike the sheets are. l put off
the visit as long IS possible, solely
on account of that spare bed. l
don't like to tell them that l had
rather sleep on picket fence than
to enter that spare room and creep
into that spare bed, and SO they
know nothing of my sufferings.
The spare bed is always as near a
mile and half from the rest of the
beds as it can be put. 1t is either
up stairs at the head of the hall, or
off the parlor. The parlor curtains
have not been raised for weeks;
everything is as prim as an old
maids bonnet, and the bed is as
square and true as if it had been
made up to a carpenters rule.
No matter whether it be summer
or winter, the bed is like ice, and it
sinks down in way to make one
shiver. The sheets are slippery
clean, the pillow slips rustic like
shrouds, and one dare not stretch
his leg down for fear of kicking
against tombstone.
One sinks down until he is lost in
the hollow, and foot by foot the
prim bedposts vanish from sight.
He is worn out and sleepy, but he
knows that the rest of the family
are so far away that no one could
hear him if he should shout for an
hour, and this makes him nervous.
He wonders if anyone ever died in
that room, and straightway he sees
faces of dead persons, hears strange
noises, and presently feels chill
galloping up and down his back.
Did anyone ever pass comfort
able night in a spare bed? No mat
ter how many spreads and quilts
covered him he could not get warm,
and if he accidentally fell asleep it
was to wake with a start under the
impression that dead man was pull
ing his nose. 1t will be days and
weeks before he will recover from
this impression, and yet he must suf-
fer in silence, because the spare bed
was assigned him in token of esteem
and affection.
