Walker, of Virginia, who had gone on with

speech, expressing the view that the Uulon
will be cemented by strooger ties than ever, and
that the lessoo We have learned 10 the past has
not been 10 vain. Virginia and Massachusetts
stood there to-day shoulder to shoulder to ON
ueuorate an event 10 which they had common
heritage, and the highest desire of his heart
was that 10 all the future they might exempIify
by their conduct how good and how pleasant a
thing it was for brethren to dwell together 10
unity. The Governor remarks were received
with great applause.

The CROPS IN LOWER MARYLAND. The
ST. Mary's Beacon says Both fly aud rust
have put in an appearance in the wheat fields
Of our county, and apprehension is entertained
that a short yield will be the result. General
wheat cutting will commence withio two weeks.
More sessoDable weather could not be wished
for corn, tobacco and vegetables than We have
been blessed with during the past ten days. Two
thirds of the tobacco crop have already been
pitched and there is now little doubt that full
crop will be planted. Complaint of the worm,
however, is being heard. Corn is growing off
fne!y, aud where it has been kindly treated,
presents most promising appearance, as do
also all garden products. The Colorado bug is
diminishing.

own house in daytime, when other per-
sons were near at hand. The murderer
was tramp or beggar; his motive was
plumber. He wanted money to satisfy
his appetite for drink; he obtained it by
killing Mrs. Bingham in her own house
and seizing the small articles of jewelry
which she had about her person. He
made directly for drinking saloon, and
openly offered his booty for sale. The
police were early ON the track of the
criminal, and he was arrested the third
day after the murder. He was identified
positively by the saloon-keeper to whom
he had offered the jewelry for sale, and
on his person was found penknife be-
longing to Mrs. Bingham. He waived a
preliminary examination, and has been
committed for trial.

An eloquent piece of writing gains

elocution and even an inferior produc-

most splendid composition may be spoiled

of England's most distinguished orators,
said of Burke
"Burke is, of all writer's, the most
eloquent, and of all speakers the most
tedious.
1 expressed surprise at this startling
diction, but he proceeded:
"One evening at the House of Com
mons, when Burke was delivering one of
his interminable harangues, / became
anxious, with many others, to go away.
But / sat just under Brkes eye, and 1
was afraid / could not leave without his
noticing me.

and, stopping to pick it up, crawled on
all fours behind the benches, and thus
succeeded in escaping. The next morn
ing, on reading the report of this speech
in the newspapers, I was astonished.
What splendid effort No longer
married by his wearisome manner and
Irish accent, it riveted my attention. l
read it through again and again, carried
the paper with me into the country, and
kept it in my pocket till it was complete
