You know how did suffer here:
You know tina. endured much pain.
And that your loss is my great gain.
lis true left you here to mourn,
And never shall to you return:
But ifyou're faithful to the end.
The God Of love will be your friend
Then dear children weep not for me,

Where parting is no more.
Lonely the house and sad the hours.
Since your dear mother is gone

PoLITIcAL NoTEs.-The pending Presi-
dental contest gives more than the usual
interest to political affairs. Under the
above caption we shall endcaTor to give to
our readers, from time to time, all that is
fresh or interesting ia the political world,
and keep them posted 90 current political
topics. Turn to that column and read the
article from the Philadelphia Times, also
that from the Ne,c York Sun. We are
evidently on the eve Of startling develop
ments in Washington. Acabinet rupture
is imminent, and the differences between
the President and some Of his ministers
are bat lily disguised. Grant is about to
show bis band, or to make his third-term
move on the political chess-bOardi a call from
Congress may force him to do SO somewhat
before bis time. The President win pres
entity exhibit himself to the country 10 a
new role, or We are greatly mistaken in
the indications of passing events. Great
uneasiness exists in the ranks Of those who
were among his earliest and most active
and jealous supporters. A few days. or a
few weeks at most, win develop plans and
purposes, which, for the present, in Some
minds, stagger belief.

MAScHEsTER IrEMs.--The members Of the
Young Mems Literary Society gave an enter
iainment at Odd Fellows Hail, on New
Years eve, and notwithstanding the inclem-
eut weather the house was well filled. Geo.
Z. Cramer, Esq. delivered the annual address.

tened to with mark attention. The exercises
concluded with farce entitled "Virsinia

The Battle Of New Orleans.

To-day is the anniversary Of the battle
Of New Orleans, fought January sth, 1915,
the last battle Of the last war with Eng
land. This battle was intended By the
British commander, according to Cobbeti,
a British writer, "to close the war in
blaze Of glory and to restore to the Brit
ish arms the prestige lost at North Poin,
aud the bombardment Of Fort MeHenry,
10 September previous. But the victory
and the glory of the conflict were with the
Americans and their gallant commander,
Gen. Andrew jackson, who protected both
the 'booty and beauty" Of the Crescent
City and the honor Of the American name,
driving the British invaders from our soil.
The treaty Of Client which closed the war,
had already been signed, which fact was
known to the British commander, accord.
ing to Csbbett, but was not formally rati-
fed until the 18th Of February following.
The battle Of North Point, fought more
than 81 years ago, still has many survi-
yors among our citizens, some Of whom

Maryland has Legislature fewer IN nun.

The Legislature meets bieuniaIly, and
