All men ought to have found out
by this time that il is never safe,
either for n piblic functionary or
private individual, to do wrong.
1t is never safe to indulge in swind-
ling. cheating or bribe taking. 1t is
never safe to practice corruption, any
kind or degree OF it 1t isnever safe
to indulge in falsehood, any sort Of
it. 1t is never safe to do anything
which would bring shame to tho
doer by being revealed. One may
fancy his misleeds cant be found
out, or have been covered up. or can
be so covered or that they can bo
denied or explained away so that
people will be deceived about them :
but yet it remains true that there
can he no safety for the wrong doer.
and no security against his exposure.
Although this looks hard to some
people it il nevertheless in Accord
ance with the fixed aud irreversible
moral law Of things aud Of being.
The only safety for man, or fOr a
u oman. is in retaining from wrong
lhi in doing right. Even in old
times, at the very beginning of hu-
man history, it was said: ''iio sur o

For the A'gis d. MtelUJ
Warning.

Ulysses, Ulysses, beware of the day
When the people confront your hostile array.
Your brstling bayonets will vanish from sight,
When the taX-ridden people arise in their might.
Your henchmen and minions will be swept from
the path
BY the great tidal wave now rising in wrath.
Your glittering sword will serve you no more /;
1t is now but bauble; its prestige is DER.
Your towering plume will fall from your crest,
And the stars you dishonor be torn from your
breast.
Your attempt to coercc will recoil on your head,
And your name name be accursed when your
party lies dead
When shorn OF your power, wreck you will
stand;
Hopeless, abandoned, and cast on the strand.
Corruption and vice to your garments will cling,
While remorse, the dread serpent, your con-
science will sting.
Your name will go down on hstory's page
With Infamous Jeffrey's, the scourge of the age.
When your body lies dead beneath the cold clay,
Your epitaph thus, will truthfully say,
" Hero lies what was once Americas Hero,
Who died unamcnted, Americas Nero"

MAINE.-The State of Maine, as was ex.
pected, has again gone with the Republicans
but with decreased majority of from 5000
TO 5000, as compared with the vote for Gov
crnor, in the last four Presidential years
The whole power of the administration was
massed in Maine; ex.Speaker Blaine, sud
denly recovered from desperate illness, made,
almost superhuman eXertions To increase the
Republican majority, by stirring up all the
sectional anmosity and hatred he could
orators from other States wendell their way
thlther and encouraged doubtful voters with
magnificent tales of what their States in
tended to do; money flowed freely-but all
to no purpose, so far as any moral effect in
favor of the Republicans is concerned The
object was to show by an overwhelming
majority in Maine that the country still en-
dorsed the Republican party, and that the
cry of Reform" was not the voice of a
suffering people The vote was the largest
ever poled, and the decrease in the Republi-
can majority is SO marked that it cannot fail
to create uneasiness in the mind of profcs-
sional politicians who have staked their
fortunes on Republican success in Novem-
her. The New York Tribune innoccntly
attributes the falling off in the Republican
majority 10 emigration from the State. Car
per-baggers are numerous in the South, it is
true, but we had no idea so many of them
were from Maine.

FIRE.-On Wednesday morning, about
sunrise, fire broke out in the store of Will
liam Mckee, on the Hartford Turnpike near
Bel Air, and destroyed the entire contents of
the room. A spark from a fire in a room
adjoining the store room is supposed to have
fallen upon barrel of coal oil, and the oil
lgniting, the whole room was soon in blaze
The fire was confined to the store room, and
did not spread to the rooms occupied by Mr..
Mckee's family. The house is insured in the
Hartford company, but the goods destroyed
are uninsured.

| VAN AMBURGH'S SHow-It seems Quile evil
dent thatthc hard times have had little effect
in lessenng the energy of the proprctors of the
Great Van Amburg Menagerie and Circus, who
are TO appear here Wednesday, September 81,
| and exhibit their combination Of shows. The
chariots and cages are all painted n deep red,
with handsome paintings upon each side from
Dorc's famous collection, and in the street
parede, which will occur between the hours of
| 10 and IL A. NJ. daily, each vehicle is shown in
its most gorgeous splendor by being drawn by
four gaily caparisoned horses, with handsome
harness, gaudy plumes, and floating banners of
every nation.
New tents have been procured for this season
SO that in wet weather the vast audience who
usually patronize this show will be completely
free from the outside moisture, and convinces
us that the management endeavor to do all in
their power for the welfare and comfort of their
patrons. New reserved seats, similar to the Or
chestra chairs used in the theatres of our large
Cities have been added to the other convenicnces
and attractions of the show, and for slightly
additional charge, persons escorting ladies or
in the charge of children can attend these en-
tertainments with as much safety and comfort
as if they were given at q hall
The tents are Illuminated upon an improved
plan, and no feature Of the show will be cur
tailed in the evening because of insufficient
light to make the performance attractive. The
various an imals Of the menagerie department
are rare and curious, and comprise living
specimen of almost every species captured.o
The performers are none but those of conceded
ability, and have high order of merit and
standing throughout the country where they
have been seen.

plished John Foster, the famed Frederick Wat.

Some Political "reminiscences.

A correspondent of the Baltimore San re-
calls the following "reminiscences of Mr..
Thomas Hope, of this county, whose death
occurred recently, at the age of ninety-two:
Mr. Hope was member of the House of
Delegates of Maryland in 1925, Just fifty
years ago. His colleagues were Mr.. Norris,
Mr.. Sutton and DR.. James Montgomery
Mr.. Norris died about two years ago, think,
aged eighty-two, and Mr.. Sutton and DR.
Montgomery are still living. | recollect no
other living member of that House but the
venerable Judge James Nj. Buchanan of your
city, who was delegate from Baltimore
county. This is somewhat remarkable con
currence of long lives and indicates that
Hartford is good county to live in.
My happening to know these facts is n little
curious. There was published in an Anna.
polls paper OF that year an amusing versifica-
ton OF the names OF all the members of the
House OF Delegates, which the WITHHOLDING
then very small politician and not critical
on poetry-leaned by heart, and most Of
which still sticks in his memory. That for
Hartford county runs as follows:
Hartford county, you know, has a Hope of her
own,
Who, with Norris and Sutton all caucus disown
But Hope without charity never would do
so she sends with these three James Monigom-
cry too.
Judge Buchanan and his colleagues, all
well-remcmbered citizens are verslied after
this manner:
from Baltimore county we've Abraham H. Price,
ANA James NJ. Buchanan, who speaks very nice,
Mr.. James Turner and James w. Mccullough
The last was elected for Speaker-@ hoIlow.
The word caucus" used in one of these
stanZas denotes the state of parties in Mary
land after the defeat of Mr. Crawford, the
candidate for president of the Congressional
caucus, and before the settling down into
jackson and antiJackson." The late
j. j. Speed, of Baltimore, was then resident
OF Annapolis, and with his colleague had de-
ieated the caucus party, led by the elder Mr..
Nicholas Brewer irrcvercntly called by his
opponents Old Nick Brewer" This gen
teman was an able and ardent party leader
for many years, and one of his few defeats
was in the warm and close contest, won by
a vote or two, by Major Sprigg Harwood for
the Senatorial electoral college in the time
oil the nineteen" Mr. Speed was noticed
as follows:
Joseph j. Speed and Richard j. Crabb,
BY Annapolis stand, a few crums for to grab. "

The vote at the recent election in
Connecticut was unprecedentedly large, and
although the Republicans made some gains
The Democratic gain was much greater So
our Republican friends hayc not so much to
boast of after all, so far as Vermont is con.
ccmcd They are simply whistlng to keep
their courage up.
