WELL Done BALTIMORE CoUNTY.-The
Democracy of Baltimore county have redeem.
ed themselves from the position in which
they were placed last fall, by giving Mr..
Roberts a majority of 1856. The Towson-
town Journal rcjoIces over the result, and
says
"Thc most aignal thing which Baltimore
county has done is the Iebuke she gave the
pretensions of Mr.. Harris, who attempted to
get seat in the House of Representatives
upon the curious basis that it was none of
his constituents business how he should vote
for President or whom he deemed best quail
fled to carry out the reform which he so ar
IDENTITY desired. AS win be seen, Mr. Eamis
has not carried Il single District in this coun-
ty, and Mr.. Roberts majority is 1886 in the
county, and in his District 1900. This is an
awful defeat for Mr.. Harris, in view of the
fact that his friends confidently asserted and
expected to carry this county by 1000 ma
jority, which they thought would ovcrba.
ance all the other three counties, and thus
Mr.. Harris was to have his seat. The De-
mocracy was in no mood whatever to throw
away votes upon Mr.. Harris in this impor.
tant contest, when the House of Representa-
tives is of such immense importance to MIR.
Tilden, to enable him to follow up the noble
reform so happily inaugurated by the last
House. The Democrats of Baltimore county
found no fault with Hon. Chas. B. Roberts,
who had faithfully represented his District in
the House, and there was no reason why he
should not be endorsed, which the Democra-
cy of Baltimore county, especially, has done
very handsomely"

ACCOUNTING FOR TIE RESULT

ACCOUNTING FOR TIE REsULT.-The
Towsontown Union SAYS:
Never in the history of the politics of Ma
ryand was o campaign SO badly managed by
the Republicans as the one just ended The
Baltimore american was luke.warm and
worse than lame, and the chairman of the
State Central Committee, who is n bosom
friend OF Mr.. Fultou's and has always tried
to run the party in the interest of those two
only, was about as useless in his position as
II paste-board man would have been. AS
long as party must be mans ged by this
class of men, who have no other aspirations
or thoughts except to get themselves in office
and then stay there, it deserves to be beaten
and that badly, as was the Republican party
on Tuesday. If the Republican party in
this State ever amounts to anything it will
be under the leadership of other men thar
John l.. Thomas and Chas. G. Fulton. We
have had enough of them.

what Advantages
HAS THE
HOWE MACHINE
OVER OTHERS?

FIRST.-The public know it to be dur
able. 1t will last life time.
SECOND.-It contains the material for
its own repairs.
THIRD.-It has less wearing points than
any other.
FOURTH.-It draws up stitch as you
do by hand; others do not.
FIFTH.-You have perfect control over
both threads; Others have not.
SIXTH.-It gives off thread in proper
ton to the thickness of the fabric sewed
thereby avoiding slow motion over seams,
dropping stitches and breaking of needles
"a great objection to all other machines.
SEVENTH.-It sews tight seam in
cashmere, burying the thread on either
side, and then tissue paper without
change of tension.
EIGHTH.-The presser foot is eaisly
swung out of the way when you set nee
I die or put under work. 1t is not so with
any other.
NINTH.-In range of work this machine
cannot be equaled. Will work equally
well on thick or thin goods from gauze to
heaviest beaver coatings, or even leather
without change OF needle, tension or thread.
We will warrant them to do this. Our
fine work is equal to any and our heavy
work excels that of any other machine in
the world.
TENTH Persons who have tried all
machines are unanimous in declaring this
to be the EASIEST LEARNED Machine
the market In the majority of cases our
customers learn from the instruction book
without further aid
What we claim, in substance, is that
this is an honest machine, and if put in
your family will do any and all of your
work perfectly, is willing and ready SER
want, and is not subject to fits.

Marshal Pitkin admitted to-day that the

that they can reduce the Democratic maiori-

THE ELECTION GOES To THE HOUSE,
my son." said a pious father out on South
Hill to his hopeful son, "You did not saw
any wood for the kitchen stove yesterday
as | told you to, you left the back gate
open and let the COW get out, you cut off
eighteen feet from the clothes line to make
Il lasso, you stoned Mr.. Robinson's pet dog
and famed it, you put hard-shell turtle
in the hired girls bed, you tied a strange
dog to Mrs. Jacobsen's door bell, and pain
ted red and green stripes on the legs of old
Mrs. Polaby's white pony, and hung your
sisters hustle out the front window
What am to do, what can do to you for
such conduct 2" "Are all the counties
heard from 2" asked the candidate. The
th'1er replied, sternly, mo trifling, sir;
40, have yet severed reports to receive
from Others of the neighbors.' "Then,"
replied the boy, you will not be justified
in proceeding to extreme measures until
the official count is in" Shortly atterward
the election was thrown into the house,
and before half the votes were canvassed
it was evident, fran the peculiar intona-
ton of the applause, that the boy was bad
ly beaten Burlington Hack Eye.

The difference between the claims of
the Democrats and the Republicans in the
disputed Southern States is that while the
former give the figures from the different
counties and parishes to support theirs,
the Republicans make only the general
claim that they have carried the state, and
talk of frauds and outrages which they
fail to sustain by any evidence. This last
is very suspicious. The Republican dis
patches fail to indicate any honest conf
dence in success on fair count. Taking
the reports from the Democratic and Re-
publican sources no man accustomed to
weighing evidence can fail to see that the
proof so far as it has been presented, is all
on the Democratic side.

Asparagus Beds.

The seed stalks and weeds on the
asparagus-bed should be cut OIL early
in December, and thrown into heaps,
and when dry enough, burned on the
ground where they grew. The bel
should then be covered over with
rotted manure, halt an inch or so III
thickness, and this covering left on
all winter Before spring opens, a
g.eat part of the soluble portion Will
have found its way down among the
roots. and will thus aid in forcing an
early and rank growth. In private
gardens, this fall manIring should not
be overlooked, especially 10y those
who enjoy large spears OF tender
asparagus early in the season. There
need be no fear Of injuring the bed by
oyer-manuring Tor this is one OF the
vegetables that stand, and improve by
heavy doaes. The more literally the
fertilizers are used, the larger ano
more prolific the spears of asparagus
will grow. Some growers add light
dressing of salt to the surface OF the
bed, before putting on the manure II
the fall. There is nothing wrong II
this plan, and salt is n valuable manure
for asparagus but if put on IN th'
spring instead of the fall, spread owe
the ground after the digging and rak
ing OF the bed, the salt will help keel
the weeds down, which will count TO
something when one has enough eIs'
to keep him busy in the garden

he breaktasted. He came back with

Laziness was his foible. lie had
that unpleasant quality in its supreme
condition. The throne OF Incidence
was vacant on our coast until Cyrus
lolled forward and fellcd into it.
lie was own brother to the snail,
and no relation whatever to the ant.
Even his cautious father, discoursing
ofhim one day, acknowledged that
"the boy was rather chicken-hcarted
about work" Unaidcd locomotion
was distastcful to him. Ifsent on an
errand to the next cottage, he waited
patiently for an opportunity to trans
fer himself bodily into the tail-end Of
somebody's passing wagon, consider
inc it better to be thus assisted along
than to assume the responsibility Of
moving forward on his own legs, He
spared himself all the fatigue possible
to morality, and overcamc LABOR by
constantly lying in wait for "a lift, "
as he called it. lie was the only sea-
side STRIPPING l ever met who eschew-
ed fishing, Most boys are devotees Of
the rod and line, but Cyrus was al ex-
ception. Tho necessary anterior
search tor bait was too much for his
inertia. Clam and worm might lie
forever undisturbld. 50 far as he was
concerned.
His dilatory habit rose sometimes
to the audacity OF genius. He could
consume mole hours in going a mile
to the village post Office and return
ing with the mail than one would
credit, unless his gait came under per
of exasperated delight as we used to
watch him trailing along the ground
and we fel, fresh wonder every day
at his power OF slow procedure 1t
seemed gift, an endowment, now
for the first time vouchsated to mortal
inertness. The caterpillar would have
been too rapid for him; he would
lose in race with that dull ground
ling. He seemed to be counting my
riads Of something in the road. When
he cautiously and laborlously lifted up
one loot, 1t seemed an eternity before
the other followed it. lie would tre'
qucntly drop asleep in getting over. a
stone wall, and his recunlbent figure
was imprinted under all the trees by

The stubble fields are growing brown
The leaves are falling, falling,
And in the russell meadow lands
The lonesome quais are calling.
The oak is scarlet on the hills,
In autumns dreary weather,
And golden-rod and asters bloom
In wayside hooks together.
Oh, autumn-time, sweet autumn time,
The year IS dying, dying,
And for a world of sweet, dead things
These hearts OF ours are sighing.
Tho rlponed nuts are dropping down,
With slow and steady patter,
And all the woods arc filled, to-day,
With squirrels chirp and chatter.
They watch their harvest as it falls,
While plaintively the plover
To vanished lark aud robin calls
Whose summer stay is over.
Oh, autumn.timo, sweet autumn'time,
The year is dying, dying,
And for world of sweet dead things
These hearts of ours arc signing.
The flowers Of the summer days
Are dead by roadside hedges,
Save here and there daisy-bloom
Along the meadows edges.
Oh, saddest time Of all the year
In springs bright balmy weather
Will all sweet things that disappear
Come back again together
Oh. autumn-time, sweet autumn-timc,
The year is dying, dying,
And for a world of sweet dead things
Those hearts of ours are signing.
